"Go ahead, and make it quick." I crossed my arms.

"Um-."

"Last call for boarding the flight to Massachusetts." The lady's voice spoke.

I impatiently tapped my foot on the carpeted floor.

Jack nervously looked down and started to speak again.

"I love you Sarah." He sighed. "Like, more than a friend."

My mind went blank and my mouth dropped slightly. My eyes widened and I lowered my arms down to my sides.

What? What about Brianna? He can't. What is he thinking?

"Jack-." I nervously laughed. "You can't-."

"But I do." He interrupted. He took my hands in his and rubbed his thumb soothingly against the soft skin.

"No Jack. It's too late." I pulled away from him. I paused, breathing out as tears brimmed my eyes. I looked down at my feet and spoke once again.

"I'll see you later." I looked up at him as his eyes became glossy. I turned back towards the desk and gave the lady my ticket.

"Have a nice flight." She smiled softly.

"Thank you." I mumbled. I entered the tunnel-like structure, and made my way to the plane. Tears fell to the floor as I thought about what just happened.

Yes, I have slight feelings for him but I have Sam and he has Brianna. Or had? It doesn't matter.

I found my seat, stuffing my carry-on into the overhead bin, and sitting down.

More tears fell by the second. The thought of him haunted my mind.

I looked out toward the big glass window, seeing Jack almost instantly. His back was against the window as he slid down slowly, his butt meeting the floor.

He turned around, our eyes meeting in the process. He smiled a sad smile and waved. I smiled back and took out my phone, texting him.

[Sarah] i love you too
Read 4:40 p.m.

He looked up from his phone and his expression brightened.

Of course nothing can happen now because I'm going off to college. Like I said before, he has Brianna and I have Sam. I plan on staying loyal so if he thinks something is going to happen, he's wrong.

The plane started to move and Jack's expression changed once again. I waved goodbye as my vision became blurry.

He waved back and I closed the shade. I didn't want to look at him. I sat back in my seat as I let out a deep sigh.

My phone buzzed in my hand and I looked down to see a text from Jack.

[Jack] what does this mean for us?

I rolled my eyes and replied instantly.

[Sarah] nothing. i'm not breaking up with sam for you, i plan on staying with him. i'm happy and i want to build with him.
