He's the one (Jack Gilinsky)

Chapter 20

-Amanda's P.O.V-

I woke up to the annoying ringing of my phone. I sleepily grabbed it and saw that it was Johnson. He's been calling ever since I left Cali, so I decided to answer it.

"Hello?" I slurred my speech a little because I just woke up.

"What the hell? Why haven't you been answering my calls?" He sounded super angry.

"I've been upset and I didn't want to answer any ones calls" he sighed.

"Well shit I thought something bad happened to you."

"I'm fine" he gave another frustrated sigh.

"I'm back in Omaha and I was wondering if you wanted to get dinner with the boys and I? We're going to Spaghetti Works."

"Will Jack be there?" The other line grew silent.

"He shouldn't be. I didn't invite him."

I took a minute to think about it. I wanted to sleep all day but why not "Okay fine I'll be there"

I heard him start clapping on the other line and I started laughing "see ya around 6" and he hung up.

I decided now would be a good time to at least do my makeup or something. I wasn't trying to impress anyone so I didn't have to dress perfectly.

After about an hour of debating on what to wear, I decided to wear black leggings, a grey hoodie and a random pair of vans. My mind told me to put my hair up but I ended up straightening it.

About 5:45, I went downstairs so I could leave. My mom was home so she stopped me.

"Where are you going?" She looked surprised that I was actually leaving my room.

"Out to dinner with some of my friends." I walked over to her and hugged her after grabbing my keys.

"Oh- okay. Have fun sweetheart" she paused and I could hear the sadness in her voice.

"If you see him-" she gestured Jacks name "don't let it ruin your day. You deserve to be happy."

I didn't know where this was coming from but I shrugged it off "thank you mom. I love you." She repeated it and I walked out to my car.

I eventually arrived at the Spaghetti Works he told me to meet them at. I walked in and immediately found them.

"Hey guys" they looked at me in shock and I rolled my eyes.

"Yes, I left my room and yes I am in public" they kept their gaze on me as I scooted into the booth.

"How are you doing?" Sammy asked. He seemed hesitant to ask because he knew my answer. I looked like shit.

"I'm okay. How have all of you been?"

"Good. Busy but good. It's been boring without you" I gave a small grin.

"I know. You guys love me" they laughed a little bit. It was kind of awkward because I haven't talked to them in a while.

"Hey sorry I'm late." I suddenly heard the familiar voice that I've been staying away from.

I turned around to see Jack walking in. Johnson told me he wouldn't be here. I shot a look at Johnson who looked just as confused as I was.

Jack finally saw me and stopped where he was. His fake cheery mood turned into a sad mood really quickly.

"Oh um hi" he slid in the seat across from me. Now it was incredibly awkward than before. I nodded instead of saying hi back. I still was mad at him.
