Broken, Beyond Repair

~Chapter 21~

Jack: "Well, so much for brunch." His eyes go down to the floor.

Me: "Yeah, but, be positive. We still have shopping and the fuckin beach to go to. Cheer up."

Jack: "Your right. We still have the rest of the day. Shopping?" He gives me a sneaky smirk.

Me: "Urban Outfitters first?"

Jack: "One hundred percent yes."

We walk over to Urban Outfitters, aka, my favorite store, and walk inside.

Out of the corner of my eye, there's this off-white or sort of light blush color sweater. We all know I love my sweaters. I rush over to the rack and go crazy for it.

I look at every edge, curve, and little detail on it. It's fucking bomb as fuck, but then I look at the price tag, and then it becomes expensive as hell. The price tag reads, $259.99...

Oh screw it. I decided to take the sweater and that's all I'm going to get from here. That's it.

Jack: "I see your looking at that super adorable sweater?" He crosses his arms.

Me: "Yeah, whatcha gonna do bout it?" I say with a bratty but sarcastic attitude.

Jack: "Oh, I know." He bites his bottom lip and starts running towards me. "Tag! Your it!"

Me: "So we're going back to kindergarten? Alrighty then." We both laugh and I rapidly run towards the other side of the store.

All we do for the next, maybe five minutes, is chase each other around Urban Outfitters. Then Jack sushes me and stops running. The store manager starts walking towards us.

Manager: "Excuse me, kids, but there is no running in the store. It's the store policy, sorry to ruin your fun." She turns around and starts walking back.

Me: "Bitch." I whisper. Jack and I giggle.

Manager: "Sorry?"

Jack: "Nothing."

Jack has his clothes wrapped over his arms, and I have my beyond expensive sweater. We walk over to the cashier and purchase our clothes.

Jack: "Ready for the beach?"

Me: "Absolutely." I smile and we walk down a few streets to the beach with our opposite hands in one another's.

Jack and I take our over clothes off and run straight towards the ocean. All I can see is Jack shivering like an ice cube, but I'm the total opposite.

Me: "You cold?" Jack rubs his arms with the opposite ones and stands in one spot shaking.

Jack: "Sorta. You?"

Me: "I'm actually really hot. But if your cold, get out of the water. I'll come sit with you if you want."

Jack: "It's just me. I'll get use to it, but thanks."

Me: "No problem, and okay." We smile at each other and continue having fun on this gorgeous hell of a beach.

We're both sitting on our towels in the sand area just talking and laughing, and having a great time, until my phone buzzes.

Me: "Hello?"

Director: "Hi, I'm a director and, I work for music artists. I was wondering if you and your good friend Jack Baran would like to be in a music video for Ellie Goulding's new album?"

Jack and I: "OH MY GOD! YES!" We both yell into the phone in sync.

Director: "Amazing. We've seen your guys' work and it would be interesting if the both of you featured in one of her videos."

Me: "Yes, we'd love to!"

Director: "Very well. I'll email the both of you the info for what you need to know about the whole thing. My name is Danny, by the way. I'll talk to the both of you soon. Thanks and bye!"

Me: "AHH!!" I scream and hug Jack super tight.

Jack: "Bitch we're gonna be in Ellie Goulding's music video!"

Me: "I know, right!"
