Ch 13 // Bonfire Buzzkill

-Jesy POV-

*One Direction Perfect ringtone*

I woke with a start after my phone rang loudly. The sunlight through the curtain made my eyes burn when I opened it to reach for my phone.

"What?" I growled.

"Well good morning sunshine." I heard Brianna's chuckle. "Aren't you a cheerful morning person."

"Look if this is about Jack - "

"Why would it have anything to do with my brother?" Brianna interrupt.

"Well I just thought...never mind." I shook my head and laid back in bed. My head hurt like I had a hangover.

"I was calling to check up on you." Brianna sounded concerned. "I mean you haven't called, texted or come over in like three days. I'm worried."

"My mom got back so - "

"You're lying. She comes back tomorrow only." Brianna said.

I groaned. "God what are you? The best friend police?"

Brianna chuckled. "Look, I'm just worried and think you should come hang out."

"Oh now." I laughed. "I don't want to see Jack Johnson."

"Why?" I could almost see her smirk from the trap I stepped into.

"Look it's complicated." I sighed but did miss Brianna.

"Tonight we're heading down to the lake for a bonfire and picnic." Brianna said. "Come with?"

I gave in. "Okay I guess I do need some human contact."

"When I pick you up, you're telling me everything." Brianna said. "Because my brothers hurt too and it takes a lot to really hurt Jack."

I sighed. "You're right...I need you Bri."

"I'm here for you." Brianna said. "I'll see you later alright?"

"See you." I said and ended the call then sat upright.

I felt better after knowing Brianna was someone I could always count on. I should have just been honest since the beginning of what happened. I felt less guilty.

Its been 3 days since Jack has been cold after the skatepark encounter with his friend - whatever she was - Audrina. I get that he didn't want anyone to know we have been hooking up but this was getting stupid.

Didn't he care about what I'd feel too? If I'd be hurt when he shrugged our love off. I didn't expect him to publicly declare his feelings but...

I don't exactly know what I mean.

It was 12 p.m already, had I really just slept that much these three days. I guess that maybe sleeping made me forget about both Jack and Jack.

I figured Brianna would pick me when it was dark so I decided on what to wear in the mean time.

But in the alone time, it gave me time to miss Gilinsky. I missed him so much as the days went by...and I realized when I was with Jack I didn't think of Gilinsky as much.

Did that make me a bad person?

-

Around 7 p.m I got a text. I jumped to read it thinking it may be from Jack who I had left a million messages.

Bri_bby: picking u up @ 8.

Jesy_N: oki doki

I went into Jacks text. All my messages were read at the time I'd sent them yet Jack ignored them. Couldn't he at least tell me to stop? That he wasn't mad at me in particular?
