Chapter Thirteen: Secrets Revealed

Above: David Henrie as Jackson Matthews.

I stood with my mouth wide open and my eyes full of surprise.

Tabitha.

The Tabitha who was John's ex. The Tabitha who was raped. The Tabitha who almost died. The Tabitha that had to go to a mental hospital. The Tabitha that was here, in Curmouth. The Tabitha that was standing next to Jack, holding his hand, directly in front of me, at the Seaside Cafe.

It was Tabitha.

I took a moment to think about everything right then.

Jack walked in with Tabitha.- Fact.
John was basically so overjoyed at the sight of Tabitha that he was almost drooling.- Fact.
Jack looked like he was going to sprint out of the Cafe to avoid whatever might happen in the next 30 seconds. - Fact.
Tabitha was so overwhelmingly gorgeous, and looked prettier than Hannah and Anna. -Most would say opinion but in this case it is definitely a fact.
John definitely has a gigantic crush on Tabitha, even though he already has another beautiful blonde, blue eyed girlfriend named Zoe who was also more pretty than I. -Fact.
The jealously and envy I have for Tabitha is insane. -Fact.
I am hoping so insanely hard that Tabitha is not Jacks girlfriend, and not Johns future girlfriend. -Fact.
This situation was about to become unthinkable. -Conclusion.

"Hello. Nice to meet you, I'm Tabitha.", She said giving me a small smile with her shiny white teeth, and reaching out her hand.

She was the prettiest girl I have ever seen. She had shiny blonde hair that fell to just above her hips. Her blue eyes were enchanting and pure. Her teeth were straight and white as snow. Her light pink lips were slightly pouty, but not too much. Her eyelashes were long and perfect looking, as were her eyebrows. Her face was perfectly shaped. She had a perfect body and was absolutely drop dead gorgeous.

"Hello.", I said emotionlessly as I mechanically stuck out my arm and shaked her smooth hand.

I couldn't think about anything right then. It was like I was in a haze. Like meeting Tabitha was a dream.

"I'm Kendall.", I added.

John looked just ecstatic.

Jack looked down at his feet and bit his lip nervously.

Then I snapped out of my haze.

"Jack!?", I said, looking up at him.

"Tabitha. We need to leave.", Jack said, taking Tabitha's hand, and pulling her out of the Seaside Cafe.

"Nice meeting you Kendall.", Tabitha said, as Jack dragged her through the doors.

"No!", I exclaimed, running towards Jack.

I was not letting him avoid whatever this was for any longer. I was tired of the lies.

Jack opened the car door as I latched onto his coat sleeve.

"No Jack. No.", I say looking into his pure blue eyes.

"Kendall. Let go.", Jack said, grabbing onto my wrist even harder than I was holding on to his coat.

"I can't do this. We can't do this. Just tell me.", I said, tightening my grip on his coat.

"I'm sorry Kendall.", Jack said, grabbing my wrist and ripping it off of the coat sleeve.

Then he got into the car and drove off.

I can't believe he did that. He left.

Extreme sadness filled me.
