I shouldn't be trusted to live and let go. [Jack Barakat] Sequel.

Struggling the same way I did before.

Hey guys, so, my tablet rebooted and I lost all the apps I had downloaded (including my ATL lyrics one), and quite frankly, I'm too lazy to redownload them all, or search, so the chapter titles won't all be ATL lyrics anymore. xP

Jack's p.o.v.

I climbed out of Addy's bed and slid my shirt and pants on, before walking out of the room. When I reached the living room, I noticed Austin. Shit.

"Oh, Jack, what are you doing here?" He asked, nonchalantly.

"Uhhh... I was just- I mean..we weren't...I didn't...nothing..um..." I fumbled.

"He already knows." Addy laughed.

"You told him?"

"He saw, actually. Apparently he likes to peek into my bedroom at night."

My eyes swept over her, she had on my hoodie, her glasses, and her typical red hair was tied up into a pony. One thing really caught my eye though, because when I looked for it, it wasn't there. She wasn't wearing her ring. What did that mean?

"I was making sure you were okay and didn't get kidnapped or something." Austin frowned.

"Oh, I'm sure." She giggled.

Austin pouted which sent Addy and I into a fit of laughter. Our chuckles were interrupted by my phone ringing.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Where the fuck are you? I've called ten times already. You can't just leave in the middle of the night and not come back." Matt fumed.

"Geeze, Matt, relax, I just we-"

Addy grabbed my phone.

"Hi, Matthew, it's Addy. Jack's fine, he slept over last night, and yes that kind of sleepover. If you tell anyone, though, I will murder you will a dull spoon, and your body will not be found. Kay, thanks."

She handed my phone back and I stared at her for a second, astounded.

"You slept with Addy...?" Matt whispered.

"Uhh, yeah." I mumbled.

I felt guilty, that was evident in my voice. Thank God, Addeline wasn't listening anymore.

"You slept with the fiancee of a man who's on tour. I can't believe you."

"Yeah, well, it takes two to fucking tango." I growled, before hanging up.

I know what I did was fucked up. I was being a homewrecker. I don't need Matt breathing down my neck about how bad this is. I already know. I love Addy though. She obviously still cares about me as well.
