Fifty Shades of Friends (book 1) j.g.

Chapter 26- Damage Control

I'm so mad that I originally wrote this chapter and finished and when I went to publish it, it was all deleted so sorry if this chapter really sucks. It was rushed.
-----------------------•••---------------------

EMMA'S POV

As I dry off my body from getting out of a steamy shower with Jack; if you know what I mean.... I get dressed and ready for the day ahead. Now that the whole world knew Jack and I were together, it was time to do some damage control.

"Babe we're gonna be late for breakfast if we don't go now." I hear Jack call out from the hallway as I finish lacing my converse.

I finish and walk out the door and take his hand. "We're late anyway." I sigh as we walk to the elevator.

When we get in and press the lobby button, I begin to feel Jack placing his hands on my hips as he stands behind me, and kisses my cheek which leads to kissing my exposed shoulder and then my neck.

"What's with you and elevators?" I laugh and push his hands off me and take a step away.

"It's not the elevator, it's just being alone with you." He whispers in a raspy, sexy voice.

"Well you need to control yourself throughout breakfast with the guys. Think you can do that?"

"I'll try my best." He chuckles in a dirty way as the elevator doors open and we walk out, still hand-in-hand.

We walk all the way to the hotel's breakfast buffet and come to find almost all the guys already on their second plate of food. Boys... I think and eye roll in my head.

"Well isn't it the lovely couple that everyone seems to know about except the people closest to them?" Matt mumbles with his mouth stuffed with toast.

"Well isn't it the disgusting boy who doesn't know how to chew and swallow his food before talking!" I fire back sassily.

He laughs and continued eating his food as everyone else doesnt bother to acknowledge Jack or I any further. As I take in my surroundings, I see everyone except the one I really needed to see. Cameron. It made me really upset and hurt that him and I don't even have a chance to be friends. Before tears could form in my eyes, I turn away from everyone and walk off towards the food table, leaving Jack behind. Not even 2 seconds of walking, I feel Jack place his hand gently on my back.

"Em, what's wrong?"

"Yeah I'm fine." I fake a smile up at him and walk faster to get ahead of him.

He grabs my hand, making me stop. "No, you're not fine. What's the matter? You looked like you were about to cry back there."

I grab a food plate in front of me on the table, unable to look at him in the eye and start going down the line of food, filling my plate, just ignoring his presence.

"It's Cameron again isn't it? He's not here and I can tell as soon as you looked around and didn't see him, you became torn again."

God, how does he know me so well?

"You're right but I seriously don't wanna talk about it. It doesn't matter anyway. He'll never forgive me and I have you now and that's all I need." I become frustrated.

I walk back to the table, Jack following behind with his plate of food as well. When we get back to the table, Jack pulls out the chair I'm going to sit in and allows me to sit down and pushes me in like a gentleman. I give him a faint smile as a, 'thank you', and begin eating.

•••

As we all finish our food and just hang out, talking and laughing, I become more and more at ease. Maybe today would be a better day than I thought. That's before I pick up my phone and check my Twitter notifications...

Over 2,000 more followers I gained and over 12,000 mentions. Negative and positive messages to me from Jack's fans. Mostly all negative I might add.

Most messages were saying, "stay away from Jack you whore!" and "you don't deserve someone as amazing as Jack. Just kill yourself so he can be happy again." I felt fine surprisingly. None of their words affected me which was kind of surprising. They didn't know what they were saying.

"Emma, what's wrong?" Jack wraps his arm around me and wipes a tear falling slowly down my cheek and I laugh nervously.

"I didn't even know I was crying." I continued my awkward laugh.

He takes a moment to think and I could see the idea pop into his mind. "You checked your Twitter didn't you?"

"Yeah? How'd you know?"

"I got messages too. Everyone's telling me lies about you to get me to break up with you."

"Like what?!"

"They aren't worth repeating. Just turn off your phone and take a social media break. That's what I do when I'm getting negativity thrown at me." he shrugs at me and continues eating his breakfast.

I wanted to ignore the messages but I at least needed to do something petty. Just so people will at least see that they can't win and nothing they say will change my feelings for Jack. I end up retweeting the nice messages to me, congratulating Jack and I on being a couple and other messages just letting me know they "ship us" haha.

I continued eating and   tried cheering up by laughing with the guys about some of the stories   they were telling of some crazy fans at the stop before. Meanwhile, I had to contain myself as Jack continuously slipped his hand onto my thigh and slid it in between my legs. I didn't stop him because he was even pleasuring me through my pants. How was that possible? I have no clue, but I learned that Jack is an expert at anything sexual.

I hear my name being called, causing me to stop what I'm doing and thinking. That's  when I see  someone standing on the other side of the dining hall,  staring at me  with the biggest smile, and I couldn't help but match that  same smile. I  jump up from my chair and literally run to him.

Sorry that this was so short. The version I originally wrote was much longer and had a sex scene and everything. I'm still so upset about it, but the next chapter will be much longer and eventful.
