Jack

I woke up with my arms around Jess. And no, I know what your thinking we didn't do anything last night. She was too upset.

"Princess you have to wake up," I whispered gently shaking her

"I wanna stay in bed with you forever," she groaned turning around to face me

"Me too, but we have to figure out this shit with Ariel,"

"Why is she out to get you" I sit up looking at her

She sits up and groans

"Come on princess talk to me" I pull a piece of hair behind her ear smiling

"Okay" she takes a deep breath and starts

"Before I meet Chloe I was with this group of popular girl. Ella, Ariel, Hannah and a few others. I was starting to get more popular than Ariel and she got jealous so one night at a party she pull my in bed with Ella's boyfriend to make it look like I slept with him which I didn't, then I was kicked out the group and Ella told me she wasn't going to give up till she got revenge. Ariel suddenly moved away and I became friends with Chloe and now she's back, she doesn't like how I've fixed my reputation"

"Wow" I chuckle, I take both her hands interlocking them with mine

"I know Ariel well and she won't stop till she gets what she wants"

I go back home to see Stella in the kitchen. I had to apologise

"Hey Stell" I walk up to her speaking quietly

She ignores me and carries on eating

"I'm sorry I blew you off but how about today" I said sitting down next to her

"No thanks" she says coldly, not looking up from her plate

"Come on Stella I said sorry"

"Sorry doesn't change anything, you'll still ditch me for Jack next time" she gets up walking back into the kitchen

"Stella don't be like this" I get up following her to the kitchen

"Stop following me" she snaps

"Stella I'm sorry ok I don't know what else to do" I shout

"How about leaving me alone" she shouts back

"I haven't even done anything that bad it was a shopping trip" I say angrily

"It was more than that to me. You know what I wish you and Jack never met" she shouts storming off in tears

"Stella!" I screamed going to her room
but she slammed the door right in my face

I sigh and go into my room. I open my computer and see it is still on the University of Arizona.

"What are you doing Hun?" my mom said walking into my room

"Still trying to figure out colleges," I sighed

"Arizona? Honey that's so far, have you talked to Jack?" she said sitting down on my bed

"That's what I'm worried about mom. I don't know if I can handle the long distance relationship thing, he'll be gone for two weeks and I'll worry. With his fame and his music blowing up I don't know what to do," I stood up

"That's your choice Jess. You could stay here and be close to Jack or you can pursue your dreams. You have to think about what's more important to you."

"Thanks mom, you're such a big help," I rolled my eyes

"I'm sorry Jess I can't make this decision for you this time," she said walking over to me kissing my forehead and walking out

Then the doorbell rang.

"Jess honey can you get that? I'm going in the shower," my mom called from her room

I ran downstairs and opened the door.

"Hi package for Jessalyn Santiago?"

"That's me," I smiled and signed my name.

"Have a good day," the man smiled and walked down the steps

"You too," I called after him

I went into the lounge room and opened the package, I saw an upside down picture and turned it around

I gasp in shock at who I saw, I knew exactly who this was.
