heart breaker // jack maynard

six

*y/n's pov*

i sat cross legged on the bed in the spare room, editing my q&a video. suddenly my phone buzzed and the screen lit up. it was a text message from an unknown number. i unlocked my phone and opened the message.

'hey x'

'who's this?' i replied.
it could be jack, but then again, maybe i just wanted it to be.
my phone buzzed again.

'only the most handsome guy you've  ever met.'
and one second later;
'jack, if you hadn't figured it out already x'
i laughed to myself.
'alright player, got it.' i typed.
'no kisses??'
'buy me a drink first."
this was fun.

i went back to editing my video. jack didn't reply for another 10 minutes.

'okay, you and me, friday night, 8pm at quigly's. see you there x ;)'

what.
my heart started pounding.
'are you asking me out on a date jack maynard?'
'maybe.'
'we only just met."
'is that a no?'
my fingers hovered over the keyboard, shaking.

'fine, 8pm; but if you're even one minute late, i'm leaving.'
'got it x'

i put my phone down and lay across my bed. my heart was beating like crazy.
just then joe walked in. he must of known something was up because he lay down beside me.
"so, they weren't that bad, were they?" he asked, talking about his friends.
i turned my head around to face him.
"jack sure took a liking to you anyway," he added.
"joe..."
"well, he did!"
"joe...!"
"what?"
"jack kind of asked me out..."
joe's face sank.
"jusr for a drink... see, i was messing around... i didn't actually mean it... i don't know"
"hey y/n, it's okay." he said gently. "what did you say?"
i looked at him and took a deep breath.
"i said yes."

*joe's pov*

i walked down the stairs in mine and caspar's apartment. i knocked on the door of the room y/n was staying in and, a few seconds later walked inside.
she was lying across the bed sideways with her phone on the bed beside her. the video she was editing was still playing in the background so i walked over and paused it. something was wrong.
i lay down on the bed beside her and started talking.
"so, they weren't that bad, were they?" i asked, referring to my friends.
she turned her head around to face me. she looked worried.
"jack sure took a liking to you anyway," i added, laughing slightly, despite my jealousy.
"joe..."
"well, he did!" i grinned and nudged her shoulder, but the expression on her face told me now was not the time for teasing.
"joe...!"
"what?" i asked, concerned now.
"jack kind of asked me out..."

what.

"just for a drink...  see i was just messing around... i didn't mean it... i don't know..."
but i wasn't listening. i couldn't believe jack. what was he thinking. he knew i liked her, didn't he? everyone except
y/n herself had probably figured that out by now. she was just oblivious to the fact that i, her best friend could be in love with her.
and anyway, jack literally just met her. i've known her for 3 years.
'joe relax. y/n hasn't even thought about a relationship since luke. she'd hardly say yes; especially to a guy she hasn't known for more thank a few hours," i said to myself.
okay.
i smiled at her gently.
"hey y/n, it's okay. what did you say?"
she looked up at me and paused.

"i said yes."

'you what?"
my whole world suddenly felt like it was crumbling around me.
this was a joke.
this had to be a joke.
fuck.
