*Y/n pov*

I was so tired that I drifted asleep halfway through the taxi ride.
I was awoken by Joe nudging me shoulder.
"Gorgeous, wake up. We're here."
I fluttered open my eyelids and smiled at him. I climbed out of the taxi and look around.
"Joe why a-"
He bit his lip. "Y/n y/l/n. I have loved you since the day we met and I have never stopped. I love the way your eyes crinkle when you smile and sparkle when you laugh. I love your messy buns and your makeup free face and our careless morning games of Fifa.
I love your on fleek contour and the dresses that hugs your figure and how you blush whenever someone compliments you.
I love your secrets and your flaws and your terrible puns and your nerdy obsession with the lives of fictional characters.
I love every single thing about you Y/n and that's why I've brought you here to ask you..."
He took a deep breath.

"to go to the premiere with Jack."
"What?"
"You wouldn't understand it y/n, but when it gets to the point of loving someone so much, you'd do anything to make them happy. Even if that means giving them up."
I looked at Joe and then at the building behind him.
"Joe... I'm sorry."
"No. Don't be. I was the one stupid enough to think that you actually loved me."
I felt the tears welling up.
"Jack loves you so much. You're the first person that fuckboy has actually fallen for. And I hate admitting it, I really do. But you love him too."
He took my hand and turned me to face him. He wiped the tears from my eyes.
"Go y/n. Go to Jack."
I glanced at his sympathetic smile and his cheeks wet with tears and nodded slowly.
"Thank you."
I turned around and began walking towards the premiere building. After a minute I felt an arm wrap around mine. I glanced up.
"You look unreal." Jack said smiling and pulling me in for a hug.
"Not too bad yourself Maynard."
I chuckled, my head resting on his chest.

Holding hands we walked past the cameras and the screaming fans and the interviewers and in that moment, with my eyes fixed on nothing but the blue eyed boy beside me, I realised that Joe was right.

*Joe's pov*

You never really understand heartbreak until you have to watch your best friend and the one person that you are utterly and totally head over heels in love with, together, walking away from you.
It hurts. But she's happy now. And that's the least she deserves.

EPILOGUE

*1 year later*
*Y/n pov*

"Dear diary," I wrote.

"I've just moved into Jack and the boys new house with them.
Jack and I are sharing a room and then there's Josh and Conor's room, 2 spare rooms, a kitchen diner, a tv room, a recording studio for Conor and a games room.
I love the boys, even though they can be a bit - intrusive - sometimes.
Jack and I are still together. And I couldn't be happier. He gave up his fuckboy ways and it's perfect.
We announced our relationship online about a month after the premiere and everyone was really supportive of it, apart from a few salty Jydia or Xoe shippers.
Speaking of Joe...
You'd think after everything we wouldn't be friends anymore or thing would be awkward but we just decided to forget everything that happened and now I couldn't ask for a better friend.
I went back to my house outside London for a while but I missed Jack and all my friends too much so I moved into the house I'm in now with the boys. I miss Luke but I visit all the time so it's fine.
Also, there's no tension between Luke and I anymore. He saw how happy I was with Jack and dropped it. But he has a boyfriend now so it's okay.
His boyfriend happens to be the guy he cheated on me with but I mean what can you do.
(I guess you could say bi bi Luke amirite - Orla)
My channel has 6 million subscribers now. It's insane how fast it gr-"

"Y/n, you coming out to the pool with us?" Jack's voice called out making me close my notebook.
"Yep! One sec!" I replied, tucking the book and my pen under my pillow and throwing on a bikini.
I opened my bedroom door.
"There you are baby."
Jack said, picking me up and carrying me outside and stopping beside the pool.
"Jack don't you dare!"
He swung me back and forth a few times.
"JAAAAaaaaack"
I hit the water and stuck my middle finger up at Jack which made everyone laugh.
"C'mon boy!" I said grabbing Jack's leg and pulling him in.
He landed beside me and we both went underwater and kissed, grinning like a pair of idiots the while time.
I felt my heart flutter in my chest because no matter how many times we kissed, it still felt like the first time, the first butterflies, the first fireworks in your stomach.

Yes. This was perfect.

So that's it. The story's over. Did you guys like it? Or should I never try and write a Jack fanfic again? (lol probs)
