I Work For One Direction..AGAIN?!

Chapter 12: Told Ya So

It had been only a few days since I last saw the boys. It was hard to think that Harry and I went through that fight. I didn't expect any of that to come out of my mouth but I was so shocked at everything that was happening to me I couldn't deal. Deal. Like he said I couldn't do. I was in over my head and all of them were there to see my break down. Why did it have to happen this way? It was supposed to be easy. I just wanted it to be easy.

Marie tried her best to comfort me. She tried so hard to make it less hurtful for me but it didn't work. None of what she did worked. My mom tried telling me I was okay and that everything will be fine but that didn't even work. My own mom couldn't make me feel better.

Jake tried so hard to ease my pain. I felt even more sorry for him than myself. He was hurting just as much as I was and I felt terrible about it but I just couldn't care at the moment. He wasn't on my mind, Harry was.

"Jess can you please talk to me?" Jake asked.

"I can't talk about it. I don't want to. Please don't ask me to either." I said.

"You haven't been yourself lately. Ever since you ran into him you've been different."

"Yeah? How do you expect me to be? Okay? Did you think it would be a cake walk? This is hard for me." Wow Jess. Nice one.

He sighed. "I know it's hard but you can talk to me. You should be able to talk to me about this." He was trying so hard to help.

"Why?" I stood up from the sofa we were sitting on. We had been trying to watch a movie, Benchwarmers, for the passed hour. It didn't work. I wasn't in the mood to even be around anyone but he insisted. "Because your my boyfriend?!" I yelled. "If I can't talk to my best friend or even my mom about this then why should I be able to talk to you? I barley know you." I felt horrible that I said those words to him but I couldn't help it because it was the truth.

He stood up and looked angry as ever. "Fine. When you change your mind and decide to let me into your perfect little life give me a call." He was out the door before I could say anything.

********

"Everything will be fine." Marie said to me.

"How is any of this fine?" I asked. "I practically went insane on Harry-"

"Practically?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

"Not helping." I stated.

She sighed. "Listen. The whole Harry thing was expected. I was waiting for you to spill your beans a long time ago. I actually expected later than sooner but it's good that you said those things babe. You finally are free of that shit that's been on your shoulders since you moved here." Well she had a point. "I could see what it did to you and now it's done. So don't cry over spilt milk."

"Enough spilling references please." I giggled. It was a half giggle anyway. "What do I do about Jake?" I asked.

"Well.. I'll tell you what I would do... Let him down easy."

"What? No.. Mar.. I don't want to break up with Jake." I said. For a moment I didn't even believe myself.

"What are you gonna do Jess? String him along? Sooner or later something will happen with you and Harry and Jake.. Jake will be the one hurt and I know that's not what you want."

I looked down. I didn't want that. I didn't want to hurt anyone. Not Jake or Harry but I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to let go of Jake. I felt bad but he was sort of like my safety net. The only thing keeping me from falling into The world of Harry again. I was a terrible person for doing that to him. "Nothing will happen with Harry." I sternly said.

"Keep telling yourself that babe but don't say I didn't tell you so."

Yeah... Don't worry, I won't.
