seventeen

for the entire day, my mind has been foggily filled with jack's phone call. speaking of which, made me get three hours of sleep and i'm running on such a little amount of sleep. my phone rings and i look down to see johnson calling me.

"hola." i say and earn a chuckle from him.

"hi, i just wanted to tell you that i did indeed talk to jack and that he's been hung up on you all day. he won't shut his mouth." he tells me.

"that's sweet of you. thank you."

"are you going to stop by at all today? you know, shut him up."

i laugh, "sure, i'll come over." i check the clock; 3:46. "right now, actually."

"okay, cool. i'll leave the door unlocked for you."

"thank you so much, j."

"no problem."

we say our goodbyes and hang up the phone. i shove all of my essentials into my small celine handbag and sling it over my shoulder. i grab my car keys and go out to my car, heading off in the direction of his house.

if i would've known, if i would've known
it could've been you
if i had the chance, if i had the chance
i would make us brand new

i feel a little weird now listening to justin because jack dated a girl who's signed with him. i change to the song to something from bryson tiller and proceed on with my drive. i'm excited to face jack.

within ten minutes, i arrive at their house and get out of my car, taking in a deep breath. i walk up their driveway and up to the front door. johnson said he door was unlocked, so does that mean i can just go in?

i take that as a yes and open the door. the first thing i see is jack alone, listening to music and tapping his foot to the beat. perfect. he's alone. his head shoots up when he hears me shut the door.

his eyebrows raise and a smile comes across his face, "hey, what are you-"

i quickly walk over to him, cutting him off by pressing my lips against his. i know that he's taken aback, but he kisses back almost instantly, wrapping his arms around my waist, holding me closer to him to deepen the kiss.

i pull away, breathing heavily, just starting at him. he lets out a random chuckle. his lips are always so soft. i could kiss him all day.

"i wish you gave me a notice so i could lick my lips before you kissed me." he tells me.

i smile at him, "not sure if that makes a difference."

"let me kiss you again." he says, making butterflies erupt in my stomach like a volcano.

i lean down to peck his lips over and over. from fighting yesterday, to kissing today. i'm willing to change myself for this boy.

i'm willing to change myself for this girl. to slowly make her my everything all over again.

"i'm going to do it today." kendall blurts and my eyes pull together.

"do what?" i hesitantly question, hoping she doesn't do anything bad.

"end things with travis, completely." she tells me and my eyes widen.

i try to hold in my excitement, but i can't. a giant smiles is plastered across my face and i probably look so dumb just staring at her with a smile. she wasn't to be with me.

"good." is all i say, because what do i say to something like that?

"then you and i can truly be together." she puts her hand on my chest.

i'm putty in her hands. i grab a hold on her wrist and pulls her down onto my lap. i stop myself from completely running around the house and yelling. i still got it with the ladies.

"i'm so happy." I chuckle, sounding all mushy.

i hate being like that, but the only people who really brought it out of me were- well- all of my girlfriends. what am i even saying? yes, i was all heart eye emoji for madison at one point, i'm not gonna lie.

"me too." kendall nuzzles her head in the crook of my neck.

i hold her tightly, as if i would never let her go. i don't want to let her go ever. we sit in silence for a little bit as i scroll through my phone. she speaks up, breaking the barrier.

"you're so amazing." she breathes, smiling against my neck.

i know that this is so wrong, but it feels so right. just realizing how lucky i am to have her for a second time brings a smile on my face. i wish she never broke up with me in the first place.

"maybe you should go talk to him now. get things over with and then we can go out somewhere after." i urge her.

when in reality, i just want them to be done. i don't ever want to hear about this travis guy ever again.

kendall's pov

as i sit in this diner booth, waiting for travis, i plot what i'm going to say exactly to him. what we have isn't working out? i'm in love with jack? unlike you, jack actually what's to put a label on us?

all of the things i can say are running around my mind. i have to prepare answers too because what if he asks major questions and swarms me with them? travis is pretty understanding, so i'm not worried.

i intake a deep breath as travis approaches me in the booth. he slides in across from me and I fold my hands together on top of the table. here we go. he fiddles with his fingers and shift uncomfortably in his seat.

oh no. are the tables turning? is he the one that's gonna dump me?

"look, i need to tell you something before you say i love you." travis says and my eyebrows pull together.

he just assumed that i was going to say i love you?

"actually-"

"asia and i had sexual relations while we're together." he confesses/blurts.
