The Unexpected (Jacksgap FanFic)

Secrets

Jessie's POV

It's been two days now, i haven't been to school for those two days. I don't know how to tell them, and i really don't want to tell Jack. I can't. I still have a week but that's not enough time, not if I'm never going to see them again. I desperately need to talk to someone, Selena would understand! Maybe she could help. I'll call her. It's engaged.

Selena's POV

I was really worried about Jessie, she hasn't been at school for two days and she hasn't texted or called. This isn't like her. Finn told me what happened the other day and Jack can't help but think it's his fault. Should I call her? Or would that make things worse? I'll call her. It's engaged. I think i better talk to one of the twins.

"Jack, Finn... Her phones engaged." I say to them.

"Have i done something wrong?" Jack asked looking really upset.

"No Jack, you haven't done anything." Finn comforts him.

"Look, its almost the end of the day. Do you want to go and see if she's alright? Then we could maybe go see Kat. She'll be back at school tomorrow hopefully!" I say to them trying to keep some options open so Jack doesn't get upset again.

"We'll wait for Gavin when the bell goes and we'll all go over?" I say trying to make it sound more like a question. The bell went and we waited for Gavin to come to our little meeting point at the end of day and so he came.

"Hey Gavin!" Finn says. I was about to say hey too but he bet me to it i guess...

"Hi guys." Gavin responds and we all gloomily reply with drones of hellos'.

"I heard about Jess still not being at school, is there something wrong with her?"

"Who knows Gavin, who knows?" I say and signal to start walking. It felt weird being the only girl walking to Jessie's house with 3 boys that are more immature than 3 monkeys.

The walk there took longer than i thought it would and i hope it was for a good reason.

"Sooo... Who wants to knock?" Gavin asks. Jack hasn't said a word since we left school.

"I will!" I say and take a walk of confidence to the door and knock. I wait for a minute and Jessie's mum answers the door.

"Hello Mrs Andrews, me and the boys were wondering if Jessica was in. We're all a bit worried about her." I say politely because i don't want to be rude to my best friends mum.

"Oh Selena, I'm sorry but Jessie isn't in just now. She went away out to see someone about half an hour ago!"

"Oh, right..." The three boys were all standing behind me looking frightened to say a word.

"Sorry... I'll see you later?" Her voice fades a bit.

"Yeah, bye." I turn around and walk to the end of the drive way. Well that was no use, so she hasn't been at school for two days and she goes out?! Ugh. Im calling her.

"Selena what are you doing?" I was questioned while finding her number on my phone.

"I'm calling her, stupid." I say to Finn and he kind of smiles which freaks me out. I call her and it goes straight to voice mail, i hang up.

"No luck?" Jack asks. This is the first he's spoke in a while and i can see he's only going to make small talk.

"Why don't you try Jack she might reply to you!" I saw Gavin had the same idea as me and I bet him to saying it... I stuck my tongue out at him as in a way of saying "haha."

Jack gets out his phone and i see him put it to his ear. He licks his lips as if ready to talk but no words come out.

"Just hang up Jack. There's no use leaving a voice mail." And there wasn't she was only going to listen to them, that wouldn't of made a difference whatsoever.

"Sorry, but i need to go home..." Jacks head dropped and he walked away.

"Is he going to be alright?" Gavin asked Finn. And all he got in response was one single nod. The silence between us for that moment was something so awkward as we watched Jack walk around the corner.

"Anyone up to see Kat?" Trying to break the silence by mentioning Kat and start walking toward her house (which was just about five minutes away) and they both seemed to follow which I took as a yes.

Jessie's POV

It was hard telling my mum to send my friends away, especially if it was time I could've been spending with them. I watched the boy I like walk away from his best friends and I saw the rest of them go in the other direction. Why did this have to happen now? Jack Harries liked me. Me. Jessica Marie Andrews. Nobody else. Me. And now i have to say goodbye! It's the hardest thing to do.

The next morning i thought i aught to go to school. So i did. I walked there myself. Earlier than usual so nobody ran up to me and said "Hi." Or anything at all. School was a bit of a bore. I ignored everyone and avoided everyone, it was a bit hard considering Jack is in all of my classes and he wouldn't leave me alone. But a couple of things he said i couldn't help bit smile to. And I hope he didn't notice that, I'm trying not to hurt him and the best way to do that is to not talk to him. For now at least.

School went pretty slowly but i walked home really quickly so Finn, Jack and Kat didn't catch up to me. I went and i hid myself in my room burying my head in a pillow. I just wanted to scream. When i heard the doorbell go. I stomped downstairs with tears still dripping from my face, i wiped them with my warm sweaty hands and opened the door.

"Jess!" I heard Jack's voice immediately after i opened the door the slightest. I decided to keep strong.

"I'm sorry Jack, i really can't talk to you just now."

"But I'm worried about you." He rambles on, "what's going on?" I couldn't help it... Words were coming out of my mouth that i didn't want to say.

"You are the last person i wanted to see Jack, this is only going to make it worse!" He turns around. "W-wait, Jack!" And he starts walking without even turning back. So i run out and try to grab his arm but he shakes out of my grasp.

And in that moment the only thing i could do was watch him walk away.

I walked back inside and slammed the door, slumped myself against it and slid down to sit on the floor.

"Did i really just say that?" I say to myself and burst into tears.
