One Shots [Requests Closed]

Jack Barakat - All Time Low

~Lydia's P.O.V~

"Jack, stop trying to flirt with me." I said to my best friend Jack as he leaned up against his car.

"Why? Are you falling for me?" he said with a smirk.

"No. You will never make me fall for you." I said and he raised his eyebrows.

"Challenge accepted." Jack said.

"How are you gonna make me fall for you?" I asked. There's no way Jack Barakat will make me fall for him.

"Friends with benefits." He said with a smirk. Yeah, like that's gonna work.

"So sleeping together but no strings attached." I said.

"No strings. If we end up sating other people then no more sleeping together." He said.

"Agreed." I said. We shook hands making our deal.

That was the deal Jack and I made a month ago. Jack and I became friends a month or two before we made our deal.

We've been sleeping together and well being friends with benefits. But I have one problem.

I've started to actually like him. He's coming over tonight and I'm going to talk to him.

I'm going to have to stop our friends with benefits relationship. I have to do this because in the end I'm going to get hurt and I know I will.

But the problem is I like him so much that I don't want to give up our relationship. I want to be able to sleep with him. I want to be able to kiss him. I'm going to have to talk to someone about this.

If I don't get this sorted out in my head and I don't tell Jack I'm going to talk to my friend Zack.

Zack is also the bassist of Jack's band All Time Low. I've known Zack ever since I was little because he's my cousin. Zack introduced me to Jack.

Zack is a guy who is easy to trust. He's a quiet guy and can be shy but when he speaks his words are so carefully chosen. It's so magical. He always says the right thing.

There was a knock on the door and I opened my door revealing a very happy looking Jack. Jack's always so happy and enthusiastic and it's one of the things I love about him.

"Hey Jack." I said greeting him.

"Hi Lydia." He said and gave me a hug. I melted into his arms. God, did I ever like him.

I invited him in and we sat on the couch. After a while we watched a movie and cuddled. We ended up making out.

The making out turned into sex. I didn't get a chance to talk to Jack. And I can't tell him after sex cause that's not right. I'll have to talk to Zack.

The next day after Jack left I called Zack and asked him to come over. Later in the day Zack did come over.

I invited him in and we sat on the couch.

"You said you wanted to talk?" Zack asked sitting down.

"Yeah. Well it's about Jack and I." I said.

"He didn't do anything did he?" Zack asked getting a bit mad at the thought. Zack is protective over me.

"No. But him and I are kinda friends with benefits." I said scratching the back of my neck.

"Lydia. Friends with benefits isn't a good idea. Someone always falls in love and they get hurt." Zack said sorrowfully and softly. I sighed.

"I know. That's why I asked you to come here. I like him and I don't know what to do." I said burying my face in my hands. Zack rubbed my back.

"Lydia, if you like him then you have to end it. You can tell him you like him but that's your choice. But the best thing to do is end it." He said softly.

"I know. I was going to last night but..." I said trailing off.

"But you slept together." He finished.

"Yeah." I said.

"Well, if you continue this do you think you'll get hurt? But only you can answer this. You need to figure out what will hurt you." He said.

"But I don't know." I admitted.

"Do you love him?" Zack asked. It took me a minute of thinking but I knew what my answer was. I have since I met Jack.

"Yes. I'm in love with Jack." I said.

"I know it's going to be hard. But in the end you might get hurt. Just think about that." Zack said tapping my leg and standing up.

"Thanks Zack." I said standing up giving Zack a hug.

"Anytime." He said then left my house. I sighed and sat down and thought about what Zack said.

After an hour or so of thinking I called Jack and asked him to come back to my house. He agreed and came over.

When he got here we sat on the couch.

"Jack. I have something to tell you." I said.

"I love you." Jack blurted out.

"Yes. Wait, what?" I replied confused.

"I love you." Jack said and I couldn't help but smile.

"I love you too." I said and Jack kissed me. I happily kissed back.

"How about we try a real relationship. Not just friends with benefits?" Jack asked.

"Yes, I'd like that." I said agreeing.

"Hey this means I win the bet." Jack said with a smile.

"Yes, yes it does."
