Step-dad back

Maddie Pov.
After everything that happened last night, my mom let me stay the night at jacks. So right now we're getting ready.

We ate breakfast quiet, since Jack told his family, but I didn't mind. They're family. We said our goodbyes and made our way to school. You ok, baby? He asked reaching for my hand. Ya, just a little out today. I said giving him a smile. You know what? Forget school, I know you're not feeling it today, so why make my beautiful, gorgeous girlfriend go to hell, when she doesn't even feel good? He asked smiling looking at me back and forth. Babe, it's fine. I said assuring him. No, because I know you and I can read your emotion, you don't want to go to school or talk to anybody so we're not going. He said. Look, your right, I'm being totally honest. I don't, but we gotta go, it's school Jack. It's our last year. I said. So who cares?! We're gonna be eighteen, we can do whatever we want, we can drop out of school if we want. He said. Now your just being crazy. I said laughing. Nope, Look we can go live together forever and be happy, even start a family together. I'll give you the world, I'll take you on crazy trips, I'll make you happy, laugh everyday. He said. Jack, slow down. Ya, we're eighteen but what about our friends, our family, our whole lives here?! I asked. It was quiet until he spoke. Your right. He said making a quick u turn back to the school. He let go of my hand and never reconnected. We parked and enter school, I saw Connor sitting on the floor when I ran to him. Hey, new friend, Connor. I said smiling. Hey, new friend, Maddie. He said looking up. How are you? I asked. Better, what about u? He asked. I'm better. I said. Where's, Jack? He asked. I left him with some friends. I said. Well, I have to go ask a teacher about something, gotta go. He said getting up walking past me. After going to my locker and checking it, I went to look for Jack. I saw him In the cafeteria talking with..... Connor? I walked over and they were bro hugging. Um, what's going on here? I asked. Connor, just came over to clear some thing up about you two, and we're good now. Jack said. Really?! I asked. I just wanted to make everything not all about me, because obviously he's jealous of me being 'just friends' with you. He said laughing. Keep making those jokes and their won't be 'just friends'. Jack said fake laughing.

~~ after school ~~
Jack ignored me during school, for some odd reason. I was waiting for him by his car when he was walking with a blonde. I pretended to be on my phone leaning on his jeep. Who's this? The blonde asked. I looked at Jack. This is my girlfriend, Maddie. Maddie this is, a new friend, lia. Jack said. Hi lia. I said nicely. Nice to meet you, Maddie. She said. What's up babe? He asked. You my ride, remember? I asked. Right, ok you two girls hop in. He said. I let Lia sit in the front while I was on Instagram looking through some picture obvisouly. When Jack pulled in my driveway. Thanks, Jack. I said getting off. See you in the morning babe. He said waving off. I just closed the door and didn't look back. I walked in and heard my step-dads voice. I ran to where the voices where coming from. I jumped on my step-dads back. Welcome back. I said kissing his cheek. Hey, girly, how've you been? He asked. I've been bored without you here, omg! So much Drama has happened! Omg, you missed out on Jack! He was so happy and he took me on a date! Oh! We should have a step-dad and daughter time! I said In excitement. Wow! Of course we will, how about in a few minutes, we'll go grab some food. He said. Yes! You know I'm always up for food! I said running out. I wished me and my actually dad would get along like that. I ran upstairs and did my homework when my dad called me and grabbed some money, with my phone. Let's go get me some delicious food. I said running out to the car. I heard him laugh behind me. We got in and left to heaven(aka food). When we got to the place it was nice and gorgeous and fancy, but oh well they got good food. Hello, i'am your waiter for today, is it just the two of you? This guys really cute, with brown hair, brown eyes, his smile, and his dimples just make me smile. Yes. My dad answered. He set us at a booth and asked for our drinks. What can I get you, gorgeous lady. He said smiling at me. I'll get a dr. Pepper please. I said. What about you, young sir. He asked my step- dad. Just a sprite, young man. My step-dad said. The guy, nodded and walked away. My step-dad looked at me and smiled. What? I asked. He's a cute guy, don't you think, Maddie? He asked. I started blushing. Dad, I have a boyfriend, a good, gentlemen boyfriend. I said. But I'm sure he can treat you better. My step-dad said. Dad, you've never hanged out with Jack. I said. But I've met him. He said. Can we just ignore this conversation? I asked. Only if you admit, if you think he's cute. My dad said. Fine, yes he's cute, but don't do anything dumb, please. I said. Soon he was back. Young man, what's your name? My dad asked, oh god. Um... Caleb, please don't get me fired, what'd I do? He asked worried. Young man, you didn't do anything. Caleb Im hoping you can stay with my daughter while I have to go do something. My step-dad said. Um... sure. He said then my dad getting out switching spots. Hey. I said. Hey. He said. So how long do you work here? I asked, seriously?! At all of the things I could've asked, I asked this. He chuckled a little before answering. About 10 hours, why? He asked. Well, it's a nice place here and I was just wondering. I said. Well, If you want you could come work here. He suggested. I'm good, plus if I worked here, I would probably eat the food. I said laughing, then him joining me in it showing his dimples. I like your dimples, by the way, but not in a weird way. I said. Thank you, I like your smile. He said staring at me. So are you just gonna keep staring at me? I asked laughing. Maybe. He said smiling a little. Stop, I don't like it?! I said laughing a little hiding. I'm sorry. He said looking under the table at me. I just smiled at him, and got back up. Can I get your phone number, we can hang out sometime? He asked. Ya. I said grabbing his phone and handing him mine. I put my phone number and my name as "yo, girl✌🏽️❤️" and he put himself as "swagger, boy😍💪🏼" I smiled at his contact name. So, I'll see you later, someday? He asked. Ya. I said smiling. Hey, babe, what are you doing here? Jacks voice said from next to me. I looked over and saw him with... what's her name?! I think she said her name was nia...? Well I came to eat here with my step-dad, but he had to do something, so he asked Caleb to stay with me. I said. Well I could stay here with you. Jack said. Jack, it's fine. I said. Nah, it's fine baby. He said. But we have to do our project Jack. She said. We can do it another time. Jack said. It's fine, you guys can go. I said. Wow! I didn't know we had two other people with us. My step-dad said. I should get back to um... my job. Caleb said. Ok, Caleb, don't be too late on the food, young man. He said. I'll try my best sir. He said out of sight. So who's this? My dad asked about the blonde. I'm, Lia. She said, duh? I knew that. So what brings you two together... here? My dad asked looking between Jack and lia, then at me. Well, we were working on a project and we got hungry, so we came here to eat. Jack said. Came to get food at a nice, expensive place? My dad asked. Well you know, you gotta treat the ladies right. Jack said. Who are the "ladies"? My dad asked. All of them. Jack said. You know what?! I think jack and Nia, should get going to work on there project. I said. It's Lia. She said. You know actually, I think we should get going, we'll just take the food home. I said getting out of my seat and walking to Caleb. Hey, what's up? He asked. Can we get the food to go? I asked. Ya, of course. Is something wrong? He asked. No, everything is perfect , it's just my mom just texted. I said. Oh, ok let me go tell them. He said.

~~ 4 hours later ~~
It's been a few hours and jack has been texting and calling, but I had turned off my phone a little while later. Right now Em, Jas, Leo, Connor, and Caleb are here with me. We're all just sitting here watching netflix eating our pizza, while my parents are out talking about some things, Ange' is with Madison because they get along better. We should go to the party, it's out of the city a bit. Em said. I'm to tired, you guys can go. I said. Well one of you boys have to stay with her. Jas said. I'll stay with her. Connor said. Connor, it's fine, I'm fine here alone, you guys can go. I said. No, Jack and I made a promise. He said. What promise? I asked. When he's not around and I am, to not leave yourside, so I'm keeping my word. Now ya'll leave. He said pointing to the door. Pushy. Em and Jas said. They left soon, it was just me and Connor. It's it really true? You and Jack? I asked. Yes, I have no feelings for you, I know your gonna be sad, everyone wants this. He said. Mhmm, whatever you say. I said laughing. So what exactly were you gonna do? He asked. I don't just probably go sit down in the living room or go outside and sit. I said. Well let's go those checked off the bucket list. He said. Oh trust me, they've been their everyday. I said laughing getting up. Lazy ass. He said walking behind me. We walked downstairs when the doorbell rang. I got it. I said. I went and opened it seeing jack and Lia... again. What? I asked. Why haven't you been answering my texts or calls? He asked. I turned my phone off. I said. Sure, their isn't a boy in here your cheating on me?! He asked. What are you talking about?! The only person who is here is me and Connor, now you two. I said. What's that suppose to mean?! He asked. It's suppose to mean that your always been with her all day, except when I woke up in the morning and you took me to school, since then you've been with her, maybe I should get time to myself and not always be checked up on. I said. Oh you want time to yourself?! I'll give you all the time you want?! Happy now?! He asked. Just leave, Jack! I don't know what even happened to you?! You were perfectly fine when I left you to go to classes, but now that you've been hanging out with her, it's like your changing again! I yelled. Oh like when I would always bother you and you would always call me a fuckboy! He said almost yelling. Ya! That's what your exactly changing into because of her! Just leave Jack! I don't wanna see you! I want time to myself! Time to think! I yell. Fine I'll leave! But except we're done! He yelled shoving me into the table making me hit my back on the table, badly. I started crying. A few seconds my parents entered. Omg! Maddie! What happened?! My step-dad asked. I kept crying, while Connor explained everything to my parents, but my dad and step-dad ran out the door, probably to Jacks house. Oh, honey, does something hurt? She asked looking at me. I never answered since she interrupted by saying that we should go to the hospital to make sure I was fine. Connor picked me up and carried me to the car. My mom drove quickly to the doctors while Connor was with me in the back. We arrived and they took me in, but soon blacked out.
