Ch 31 // Someone Else

-Gilinsky POV-

Maybe I was stupid and let the whole deal blind the fact that Jesy was hurting more than I was. More than my best friend was.

I love Jesy. I'm still in love with her and I can't imagine when I'll stop. I know Jack feels the exact same way though. That his heart is hurting just like mine is. But what could I do?

Am I the one who should give up my feelings so that the two people I love so much could be happy? I didn't want to take that away from them.

So I figured I'd have to do this.

"Bro." I nudged Jack as the party at Sammy grew by the masses. He was surrounded by a bunch of girls who seemed taken by him.

"Wassup?" Jack flashed a grin. But I could see the misery.

I nodded to the side so we could talk in private. He smiled at the girls then we walked outside, the cool air filling my lungs. I felt more calm now.

"You okay? You look morbid?" Jack laughed. Across the backyard, I caught Jest hanging with her friends. She was smiling but looking around.

Possibly to find Jack.

I looked at Jack, who looked around a lot too. To find her of course. God I couldn't keep these two apart because I feel like I don't deserve this. Maybe I should have loved Jesy differently?

"We should talk." I said. We both sat on two lawn chairs. "Foreal this time."

"I haven't been seeing Jesy." He said immediately. "She's been trying to reach out but - "

I cleared my throat. "Bro I know, I believe you alright? But that's actually what I wanted to talk to you about."

Jacks eyes widened. "Uhm okay?"

"I know you love Jes and she loves you too. She told me just how much the other day." I began.

"She did?" Jacks eyes seemed to light up in a matter of seconds. I knew I was doing the right thing in that moment.

I nodded. "So I'm taking back what I said the other day, about you staying away from Jesy. I was just thinking about myself and it was selfish. So I think you should talk to her, apologize and stuff."

Jack spluttered. "G...you don't have to do this."

"I want to." I closed my eyes. "Yeah it hurts but I mean, I want you two to be happy. You can't let something like this pass you by."

"You mean it?" He asked glancing at Jesy who looked so unhappy but she was smiling nevertheless.

"Dude." I bumped his shoulder. "Go get her."

Jack chuckled. "This means everything to me G, really you have no idea. I just don't want you to feel shit seeing us together."

I shrugged. "I'll get used to it at some point. I've been seeing Ashley anyways so that should keep me occupied."

"Thank you." Jack said. "I couldn't be without her."

-Jesy POV-

The party was lit. I just wasn't having a good time. I would prefer to just lay in bed and watch reruns the entire time but here I was. Just to prove that I wasnt going depro.

"Jesy?" I felt cold fingers on my elbow.

My heart thudded because the voice sounded like Jacks. But when I turned around I was facing Cameron. He was smiling, his hand still on my elbow.

"Cam." I smiled.

"Walk with me?" He nodded to the side.

I put my drink down and followed Cameron further down the backyard. It was packed with couples but we didn't mind. This was how our parties usually turned out anyways.
