Lynn’s POV
I thought Jack would run after me, like in the movies, the guy chases after his beloved and asks her to stay. But it looked like it wasn’t the case here. I ran into Rian and Zack, actually bumped into them. Zack looked at Rian questionably, and Rian asked curiously “What’s going on?” I didn’t answer and kept walking straight to the door. Matt and Alex were nowhere to be seen, or I became blind, could happen, you never know.
Once I got out the venue, I realized I was hundreds of miles away from home and I had no money. All my stuff were in the tour bus. But no way I’m going back there.
Rian followed me in his car, I was so relieved when I saw him and got in the passenger seat. At that moment, I broke down. I started crying in front of Rian, and he put his arm around me, pulling me close to him. He didn’t ask anything, but I eventually told him everything, I needed to let it all out. He took me to a hotel and asked Danny K to bring all my stuff there. My phone rang. It was Jack. I wiped away my tears and threw it out the window. After a few seconds, I realized I just threw my brand new blackberry out the window. But I really didn’t care about anything anymore. Alex came to visit later that night, I just hugged him tight and cried into his chest. He spent the night with me, we watched a movie so I could get my mind off of things. But nothing could get Jack off my mind.
Jack’s POV;
I couldn’t sleep all night. Something was keeping me awake. My conscious? My bleeding heart? I wasn’t sure. It was like a huge hole has been punched in my chest.
I looked at my alarm clock. 4:48AM. Great, I barely got 2 hours of sleep. I tried sleeping, but I couldn’t. I just lied in my bed, wide awake. I eventually decided to get out of bed, be a man and do something about this situation. I took the quickest shower of my entire life, put on a shirt and some jeans and went to Alex’s bunk. I spilled some water on his face, should get him to wake up.
“Fuck you, Jack. Get the hell away from me and let me sleep you fucking dickhead” Alex wasn’t a morning person. But I needed to know where Lynn is staying. Spilled a bit more water, that should do it.
“What the fuck do you want.” He groaned, not opening his eyes.
“Give me Lynn’s address”
“Ugh, she’s staying at the local hotel. Just get the fuck off and let me sleep, Jack.”
Good enough. I rushed out of the tour bus, got in my car and tried to find the local hotel, which was harder than I thought ‘cause it was 5 in the morning and the streets were empty, nobody to ask for directions or anything. Fuck, where’s that stupid hotel? I drove around in circles 5 times with no result. Finally, I found a man jogging on the sidewalk, I stopped near him and asked where there’s a hotel around here. I followed his directions and got to the hotel. After struggling with the manager, he called Lynn’s room and asked her if I can come up. I told him my name’s Alex. No way she’d say yes if it were me. So I went up, took a deep breath and knocked on the door. After a couple minutes, she opened the door.
Lynn’s POV;
I opened the door only to find Jack standing in front of me.
“What are you doing here at 5 in the morning?” I sighed.
“I couldn’t sleep all night, I felt terrible.” His face was heartbreaking, I just wanted to hug him but I remembered that he’s a really good actor, and he might be acting right now. I didn’t answer, I just looked down. He continued. “I’m really sorry, Lynn..”
“I’m sorry too, Jack” I was trying too hard to not break down and cry in front of him.
“It’s all my fault, blame it all on me. I fucked up, I know that. But I’m here to apologize and ask for a second chance. And, I’ll break up with Holly..” What? So he will break up with Holly? As in, he hasn’t yet?
“Hold on.” I laughed sarcastically. “So you will break up with Holly if I give you another chance? Do you hear yourself Jack? I forgive you, but I’m nobody’s second choice.”
“But Lynn…” he was torn. Pain was visible in his voice. “I love you” His voice cracked on the last word, he was sincere. I could see moisture in his eyes.
I felt a tear escape from my eyes, and I just wanted to tell him I love him too, but that would make things harder on both of us. I took a deep breath. “You should’ve fixed things yesterday, Jack. It’s too late now.” I was crying, my heart was in pain. It was too much. He teared up, and brought his hands to my face, wiping away my tears with his fingertips, stroking down my cheek. I closed my eyes and nuzzled my face in his hand. God, his touch was heavenly.
“It’s time for you to go, Jack.” I pulled myself together and closed the door. I walked inside my room, and didn’t even make it to the bed. I broke down, fell on the ground and sobbed.
Jack’s POV;
“But Lynn…” I started, my voice low. “I love you”
“You should’ve fixed things yesterday, Jack. It’s too late now.” It’s too late now. Her words echoed in my head. She started crying, and that made my heart ache, I never felt so much pain inside me. I hated the pain I put myself and the girl I love through. It’s all my fault. I guess that’s the price I pay for my mistakes.
I hesitantly wiped her tears away, stroking her cheeks lovingly. My hand made its way to her lips, touching them lightly. Every cell in my body wanted to taste those lips for maybe the last time. I wanted to kiss away the pain. But before I could, she said “It’s time for you to go, Jack.” No, it’s not. I don’t wanna go anywhere without you. I came here to make everything better. I don’t want to lose you, stay with me. Let me kiss you and make love to you. Let me make everything better, I swear I’ll take all the pain away. Won’t you give our love another chance?
But she closed the door. She left. It’s over, that’s it. She will never take me back. I will never get to hold her in my arms after today. It’s all my fault, and I had to suffer the consequences. Even if it meant losing her.
I knocked on her door again, but with no answer. I heard her cry uncontrollably inside the room, and I started knocking on her door heavily, feeling my eyes fill up with tears. I started screaming and yelling and kicking. I wanted to get inside, I wanted to hold her in my arms and kiss her, but soon the security guards were here, and they dragged me out of the hotel.
No matter what it takes, I will bring her back to me.
