The Story of Us || g.d.

~24~

I swear I forgot to breathe at that second. "You're what?"

Jack sighs and runs a hand through his hair. "I know this is hard to accept."

"You're what?" I repeat again, hurt adding to my tone.

"Trin, I want to focus on school and not have to be stressed with all the social media right now." He shrugs.

"But I need you." I frown, tears welling up in my eyes.

"This isn't goodbye forever, it's goodbye for awhile." Jack shakes his head.

"I'm tired of crying!" I scream. The tears are now coming out uncontrollably and I don't know how to stop it.

"Come here." Jack pulls me into a warm hug and sways back and forth as I slowly break down.

It's only a minute later when Cameron opens the door and looks at us weird. "Jack?"

I run from Jack's arms and into Cameron's as it gets harder to be with Jack when he's just going to leave me. 

"Shh." Cameron pets my hair as I become a sobbing mess. My life is just a mess.

"I should probably tell you what's up." Jack huffs and looks to Cameron. "I'm moving back home." He finishes.

I try my hardest to collect myself, but it only gets worse when I notice a tear escape Cameron's eye. "Bro."

"There will be a goodbye party at our apartment Saturday." Jack pats my back and nods at Cameron before leaving.

"Cam, why do bad things happen to good people?" I finally pull away and sit down on the couch.

"I'd like to know the same thing." He shrugs.

"Maybe I'm not good enough. What if I wasn't enough for Grayson and he just thinks he needs me as a toy. That would explain it." I'm mumbling to myself.

"Trinity Mae, I'm pretty sure it's more than that because I saw him earlier and he looked like shit." Cam chuckles to himself and takes food out of the fridge to make dinner.

At the mention of this, my mouth gapes open. "Did you beat him up?"

"No. I was sophisticated and asked why he thought he wanted to hurt my little sister and steal my girlfriend." Cameron answered.

After a minute we both burst out laughing, knowing that Cameron would never do that.

"You punched him, huh?" I looked at him knowingly.

"Yeah, sorry he's going to have a bruised cheek." He shrugged.

"Whatever. I'm seeing him tomorrow." I admitted.

"You two making up?" Cam looked back to me.

"I don't know yet." I sighed and stood up to start cleaning the mess Jack and I left.

"I saw Nash and Hayes earlier. Hayes asked about you." Cameron announces.

"Yeah." I shrug.

"Well do you two have a thing or something?" He smirks.

I roll my eyes and sit down at the table. "No, it's not like that. He's a really good friend and he's sweet, it's just I like Grayson, Cameron." 

"I understand. Some people just click like that." Cam nods and continues cooking.

There's a knock at the door so I cautiously open it, revealing my father.

"Hello Trinity." My dad hugs me and then goes to hug Cameron. "Cam."
