Jack was with JJ and Sammy while I sat alone. I was still "with" them but, not really with them. They talked only to one another, none of them even acknowledge me sometimes. I got up and went into the kitchen. I was getting water when I heard them talking in the other room, "So man when're you gonna do it?" "Next Friday." "And she doesn't know?" "How could she know?" I feel my heart sink, Jack's gonna break up with me the day I leave. I can't believe it. Is this why he's been so distant? I walk back into the living room and see Jack saying by to them. Then he walks out and goes to his car, without me. I walk out and he starts to pull out, "Jack!" He looks and sees me, "Oh sorry Hayden I forgot you came with." My heart sank even more. I got in the car and tried to hold his hand like I usually would do while he drives, but he just snatched his hand out of mine. I try to think of things to ask, "So... what do you wanna do today?" He ignores my question for a minute, "Why do we always have to do something?" I sigh and look down and play with my hands. I feel my eyes start to water and I wipe them away. I look over at Jack, "What did I do?" He looks over at me then back to the road, "What're you talking about?" "What did I do all of a sudden to make you hate me so much?" He pulled into a parking lot, "What do you mean?" "We never hug, hold hands, cuddle. I haven't kissed you in two months. You don't calmly me baby or babe like you used to. Why do you hate me so much, all of a sudden?" He sighs, "Baby I'm sor-" I cut him off, "Then I hear you're going to break up with me next Friday." He looks surprised, "Where'd you hear that?" "When you guys were talking in the living room." He shakes his head, "I'm not breaking up with you next Friday, I'm throwing a party for Madison." I look down at my hands, "Why're you throwing her a party next Friday?" He runs his tung over his bottom lip, "She's leaving on a little photo shoot for a while." My heart breaks more. He forgot I'm leaving Next Friday? I just look down, but then He grabs my hand and kisses it, "I love you baby."
