Janie and Jack

22. Uncertain

A short chapter!

"You're not ready?" I raised my eyebrows

Jack sighs,"It's too early don't you think?"

"I don't understand... If you purposed to Oona why aren't you ready?"

He nervously shakes his head," I just don't think she's right for me, I mean I love her and all but is she the one who I want to spend all my life with? I can't see myself growing old with her Janie. It just doesn't have that certain ring"

"Jack, just a few decade ago you were crying that Oona might break it off with you and now you want to break it off with her?"

Jacks face begins to redden,"It's not the right call?"

Why is he so uncertain now? He told me she was 'the one' and now she's not?

"Jack, as your best female friend I suggest you do what your heart tells you to do because I can't decide for you. If you don't think it's right then don't get married but if you thinks it is right then get married. What I say will have not effect."

"Janie... But you do have an effect on what I do. We've been best friends since the fourth grade and I feel like if I do get married to Oona, I would be leaving you and I don't want that to happen."

I smile and my hearts starts to warm up. And right then and there, I realize my love for Jack was not there anymore. It didn't make me satisfied that he wants to give up, instead I want him to get married.

"I have Hunter, Jack"

"Yeah but Janie, do you really think you guys are going to last?"

"Yes why not" I chow down the last of the potato salad

"I just... Never mind"

"Let me ask you this Jack, do you honestly love Oona? Do you love her enough to see her walk down the aisle? Exchange vows? Have a baby?"

He dangles his arms and concentrates on the wooden floor,"If I was totally honest, no"

"Huh I see now! You don't want to marry me? I knew it all along!" An angry Oona appears from the front door.

"I'm so sorry it had to be this way" he makes his ways toward Oona but she quickly grabs her things and leaves .

I am in total shock that I didn't even move until a hear a sniffle. Was Jack crying?

"Jack?" I walk stiff body now on the floor

"I feel horrible Janie"

I crouch down and begin to embrace him in a hug. As his best friend who has done this many times before it felt like a good time to do so.

"She'll be okay Jack. Trust me."

The next twenty minutes was filled with his cries in my arms. Never had I seen him this disappointed. He was like holding a baby in my arms, he felt so vulnerable.

As I gentle began to run my fingers through his hair, I hear a slight snore. He's asleep. I begin to stand up and as I do his right arm pull me down.

"Stay with me tonight Janie?"

"Let get you to bed" I smile at him

We proceed to his room and I begin to walk out when he whimpers.

"You're not staying?" He frowns

"I'm just going to the bathroom"

"Oh okay, you can borrow some of my clothes if you need some"

I nod and make my way to the bathroom hall. Once I'm in I look in the mirror and see a tired, pale Janie. I texted Hunter that I wouldn't be able to make it to our 'plan' and begin to change out of my clothes.

As I was using the mouthwash from the countertop, I noticed a familiar box but I couldn't see it clearly because I didn't have my glasses. Once I spit out the minty liquid, I look in the mirror once more and decided I should get some sleep.

I open the door and silently slipped into Jacks bed, beside him. I look up to the ceiling and begin to wonder number of things like why Jack was crying? And where did Oona go?

++++++++++
I wake up to the smell of pancakes and I instantly jolt out of bed because of my craving stomach. A shirtless Jack appears and he smile mischievously.

"Good sleep?" He flips a pancake

"I would like to eat now" I smile

After a couple of hours of talking I decided to go home. I say my goodbyes to Jack and make my way to my home.

I remember Tiffany wasn't going to be home today so I had to open the door myself. When I do open the door I hear two voices.

Did I have a break in?

The two voices are from my room and when my curiosity takes over, I turn my bedroom door knob to see the most horrifying situation.

Oona and Hunter laying on top of each other.
