#torment (sequel to #twinning)

When we got back to the hotel I went up to my room and just collapsed onto my bed. I was so tired.

"I don't know if I can do that again. To much energy!" I whined. Matthew chuckled and joined me. He rubbed my leg. We looked over at each other and smiled. But then all of a sudden there was a knock at the door. I groaned and got up.

"Hey Blake, I was wondering if you wanted to come have dinner with me and the kids at Perkins?" Gilinsky asked. I looked back and Matt. "They can be quite a handful sometimes and they will love you!" Jack said. I sighed.

"Yeah, let me get changed really quick then we can go." I said while inviting him inside. I grabbed some clothes and ran to the bathroom quickly.

I wore a pair of black high waisted shorts.  An army green vneck shirt that had a little pocket. My brown birckenstocks. I put my hair up into a pony tail. I put my glasses on.  Then walked back out and grabbed my brown purse with gold detailing.

"Okay, lets go!" I said. Tilly then ran up to me and grabbed my leg. We all walked outside together and I kept the children together while Jack got a cab. I was sitting on a bench while Tilly and Logan were sitting on either side of me. While Jamie was doing laps around the bench. 

"So how old are you guys?" I asked.

"We are all 4 years old, but I am the oldest." Tilly said proudly.

"And I am older than Jamie. And our birthday is next week." Logan added.  I smiled and nodded. I felt my phone buzz, it was a text from Matthew.

Matthew: BE CAREFUL!! Have fun baby!!

I smiled and looked up to see Jack got a cab, so I gathered the kids and walked his direction. They all followed me very nicely, surprisingly. There wasn't enough room for us so I had Tilly on my lap and Jack held onto Jamie very very tightly. Once we got to the restaurant we walked in very quickly. We then got seated, and ordered our drinks.

"So why did you want me to come, and not have like Jack and Elosie come?" I asked. Jack looked around for answers.

"Well I mostly just wanted to talk to you, and I knew I couldn't talk to you with Matthew around and he would get upset about anything I said. So this was the only thing I could think of." Jack explained.

"What do you mean talk?" I asked nervously while putting my menu down.

"About us, and how I ran off stage. Just about us I guess." Jack explained. I just nodded. The waiter came back up and he took all of our orders. He then left.

"Well I am sorry if I said anything hurtful on stage. I just stated what happened on my side of the story." I said.

"Yes. And I had no idea I was distracting you from school. I actually feel terrible about it now. I just wanted to be with you. I never thought about your well being and that you're in school." Jack said. I just nodded.

"Yeah, I tried telling you multiple times while we facetimed, but you kept talking about your own life." I explained. Jack just looked stunned.

"Oh my goodness. Are you serious. I am so so so so so so sorry! I just felt so apart from you that I wanted to tell you everything, I never really thought about you I guess. I was just a dumb teenage boy then." Jack said while shaking his head. I put my hand over his and looked at him. We both made awkward eye contact before we looked away and I pulled my hand away. I looked over to the door to see Johnson, Kendall, and Eloise come in. Johnson must've seen me because he immediately ran to me leaving Eloise and Kendall behind.

"Hey B! Can I talk with you quick? Thanks!" He said while taking my hand and pulling me away from Jack. We ran over to the bathrooms and talked.

"Blake, I love you okay. So I want to tell you that he wants to date you again and wants to get married so please leave as soon as possible?" Jack said quietly.

"No I don't believe you! How do you know?" I asked.

"Because you're all he ever talks about, and that is all he ever talks about when you're not around. So please trust me, for your own good and if you plan to marry Matt some day. Please leave, I will stay with him. and Kendall and Eloise can help you leave!" Jack explained. Jack then got Kendall's attention and waved her and Eloise.

"What is wrong?" Kendall asked so Jack explained. "Okay, here take my sweater and put on my hat, and then we will walk out of here, okay. Jack go take her spot please and just say that Blake started to feel not so good." Kendall said while taking her sweater off and placing her hat on my head.
