Broken, Beyond Repair

~Chapter 8~

Jack: "I need to go Jenn. I'm going to dinner with this girl I met online. Her name is Amber."

Me: "Date?"

Jack: "Yep." Well, I'm disappointed.

Me: "Oohh. Have fun."

Jack: "I will, thanks. I'll text you about an hour after I get there! Later Jenn!"

I'm back home, and goddamn. Jack is going on a date, for sure to start dating that Amber chick. Great.

I mean, I'm happy for Jack. I just want a chance with him. I know he'll never love me. I'm just not enough.

I lit the pumpkin spice scented candle on my marble counter top. I can already smell it. Maybe lighting a candle will calm my nerves.

My phone vibrates.

Jack Baran: "Hey, can I come over?"

Me: "Yeah, something wrong?"

Jack Baran: "No, I'm fine. I'll be there soon."

Alright then.

I looked out my downstairs window. A guy sat there, and he was just taking off his gray beanie. I saw him slide his back against the street lamp. His head just fell into his hands. I decided to go out there and be a good citizen.

Me: "Hi, are yo-" I noticed, it wasn't a random stranger. It was Jack. "Jack?"

Jack: "H- hi." His head lifts up and he quickly wipes away a few tears.

Me: "Are you alright?" I kneel down and put my hand on his right shoulder.

Jack: "Yeah.."

Me: "No your not. What happened?"

Jack: "Fine... Amber already had another boyfriend. The only reason she went on the date with me was to mess with me. She was teasing me this whole time." Tears fall from his sparkling brown eyes and I can't help but hug him.

Me: "It's going to be okay." I whisper in his ear.

Jack: "I hope." We break the hug, and he starts to speak again. "Jenn, I actually need to ask you something."

Me: "What is it?"

Jack: "Okay, um. Here, it's written on paper. I'll give it to you and you can read it. It's not the literal question, but my feelings are written down. Here." He hands me the paper, and I read it to myself silently.

You make me weak. You bring me to my knees. And all I ask of you is baby..please don't leave me. You are all I ever need. If your leaving, you would only take from me. These visions are haunting me. You get me outta my head, you get me outta my mind, you get me outta my dreams. All I ever wanted was the best of me. And you helped me give the best of me throughout my life. You helped me become my own person who isn't scared anymore like I use to. You helped me accomplish things I definitely would never think I'd accomplish. You bring me the most happiness a person can ever ask for. You mean more to me than just a best friend. I want you to know that.

Me: "That's.." I basically tumble hug Jack. I fall on top of him and hug the absolute shit out of him. Then, I start to cry.

Jack: "Well.. Will you be my girlfriend?" He smiles, and I think I see happy tears in his eyes.

Me: "Duh."
