Chapter 27

*Erika's POV*

The next morning I immediately went down to the kitchen to prepare my meal.

Then I remembered about yesterday. Zach's dad gave a bag with a note stuck onto one of the side.

Please give this to Jack's mum.
Yours truly: Mr John

I was a bit shocked and happy at the same time. Is he planning to get back together? I squealed.

After finishing my meal, I rush to my room and took a good-long-hot bath.

After that, I got dressed and went onto my PC. A message appears on the screen, from Brook.

See you at 6...*smily faces*

I smiled at his message, remembering the good times I'd spent with him. Then a call broke off the silence. It was mum.

"Hey hun..I'll be home soon" she said.

"Ok cool"

"How's things getting on with you and Ja-" I stopped her and changed the topic.

"Heyyyy...you must be so tired. Let's just talk later..baii" I cut her off.

I kept forgetting about the bag so this time I remember it, I quickly took it and went to drop it off to Mrs John.

I rang the doorbell for the third time and still no answer. As I left the corridor, the door slowly opened revealing Jack's step dad.

He's home!? Already?! What am I suppose to say...I froze on the spot.

"Yes?" He asked.

"I- is..Mrs..." I stopped as I heard her voice coming nearer.

She popped her head out of the door and greeted me with a smile "Erika hun...what brings you here"

After Jack's step dad had disappeared, I quickly handed her the bag "its from Mr John" I whispered.

She starred at me and gave me a weak smile "thank you"

I left after seeing her confused expressions. Either about me or the bag.

On the way home, I felt a vibration on my left pocket, as I took it out, Jack's name was flashing on the screen.

I was hesitating. Should I ? Or should I not? It could be important so I picked it up.

"Hey...just let me speak" he started.

"This better be good"

"Ok...but you have to trust me. Its about Zach" he stopped.

"If this is some nonsense we're talking about here...I'm done"

"No listen..." He shouted "he's just playing with you!"

"Are you saying that we're not really dating?"

"Yes..it's because..." He stopped as I interrupt him.

"Jack..no! I know you hate him but you don't have to do this"

"Listen! You're just a bet! He's playing with you!"

I stood still as if I'm glued to the ground. As tears starts to form I looked at Jack's window. He was there,watching me. "How did you know?" I looked at him.

"Remember Ella?.....yes the one who kissed me that night and you left with Zach, because you thought that I betrayed you"

I tried to hold back the tears but it kept coming "why are you even doing this?"
