My Ex, My Neighbor

❄ CHAPTER 6 - People Just Doesn't Fall Out of Love, Jack ❄

4...

And yeah, it's a classic song...(secretly one of my favorite songs...xD)

[Jack's POV]

This is the chance that I'm finally going to explain everything to her...I can't do this anymore.

But then...she's fine now, I don't want to hurt her again. But she deserves the truth...in that way she might forgive me.

The party is still going on and it's already 9 in the evening. But I think it's fine if I sleep late, besides tomorrow is Thursday and my classes starts at 2pm. I ate another slice of the 4th lasagna which I recently found out was made by Elsa's mother...she's a good cook.

"Hey." I gulped and turned around and saw the girl with the strawberry blonde hair; Anna.

"Uhh...hey." I said nervously and she glared at me.

"So, you're our neighbor now, huh." She said sarcastically and I nodded slowly.

"Look, Anna, I--"

"Yeah, yeah...you want to apologize and all but you need to explain everything to my sister." She crossed her arms. "Though I hate you because you hurt her and left her without explanation...I secretly wish for you too to get back together, you changed my sister, Jack...she's not the same anymore, and I thought that bringing you back together piece by piece might fix her."

I looked at her in shock. She wants us back together? "You...really?"

She nodded. "Please don't tell her that I told you this, but it doesn't change the fact that I still am angry at you."

"Anna, look, I'm really sorry."

"It's fine, but still you gotta tell her your explanation."

I nodded. "Okay, I understand. But, Anna...I'm not..." I trailed off and sighed.

Anna looked at me disappointingly. "I though you wanted to..."

I shook my head. "I just want to apologize."

"Okay." Anna said before walking away. "I'll see you around, neighbor."

I waved my hand a little, before putting it down, realizing that she's not going to see me. I sighed again before eating the last piece of lasagna on the plate. So, Anna wants me and Elsa back. I thought.

It wasn't long before I saw Elsa again, sitting alone outside with a small can of...beer?

"You drink now?" I asked surprisingly and she jumped a bit on her seat.

She scoffed. "I'm 18...so what? It's not like I'm a lightweight or something."

I hesitantly sat beside her and she raised an eyebrow at me. "Elsa, I--" I started. "I wanna say sorry to what I did a year ago."

"And?"

I sighed. "And--"

"Yeah, well, you said you don't love me anymore." She huffed. "But then hey, I got over it, so..."

She got over it.

I was about to stand up when she stopped me. "Jack, why did you do it?" My heart clenched a bit...this is it. "Why did you leave me?"

I didn't want to tell her the truth now, she got over it right? Or...did she?

"I...I told you, I...I don't love...anymore."

She suddenly sniffed and it alarmed me. Is she crying? She turned her head to me and I saw her teary but angry eyes. "People just doesn't fall out of love, Jack! There has to be another explanation for it!"
