I headed toward the bar's parking lot, immediately finding Jack's car. However, I hesitated, deciding to go to the bar to talk to Ava and tell her I might be too busy to go to work for the day.

I was greeted by Ryan, who then said Ava was already waiting for me in her office. I hurried over, not wasting any time.

I found her at her desk, and she did not have a pleasing look on her face when she saw me.

"I kind of expected you to come here," she said.

I nodded, keeping a straight posture. "Yes. It's about yesterday."

"About Jack, right? You're going to ask for the day off so you can take care of him," she said as if she was reading my mind.

"How did you know?" I questioned.

She raised an eyebrow. "Oh, just an instinct."

"I'm only going to take off today, then come back tomorrow," I explained.

She shook her head. "I think you should take the whole week off," she offered.

"I don't think that is necessary," I said. "I'm only going to look after him for today."

"Only today?"

I nodded.

"I feel like you should pay attention to him," she said, trying to convince me.

I gave her a confused look. "Why are you so concerned with me taking care of him?"

She shrugged. "Because that is the way he wanted it."

"The way he wanted it; and what is that supposed to mean?"

She smiled, seeming to be hiding something. "Oh, nothing. Anyway, I'm giving you the week off. You can spend time with Jack."

I was a bit taken back by her words. "I don't want to take the days off, though; I want to come to work."

She shook her head, not changing her mind. "Too bad, you're staying with him."

I stood my ground. "Why are you suddenly interested in me taking care of Jack? You never liked when I missed work."

She shrugged. "Do you even notice how much he's trying to get you back?" she said, confidence in her voice.

"Huh? Where did that come from?" I asked, taken back.

She suddenly stood up, heading towards the door. "I'm sorry to say this, but you are no longer going to work here. I'll send you your last paycheck later."

"Wait," I almost yelled, "why are you firing me from the only job I needed?!"

She twisted her lips. "Maybe you should ask Jack that."

And she quickly left the office. I followed her, but she quickly disappeared

I suddenly felt furious. Ever since Jack came back from Ireland, everything about my life has turned upside down. I always had thoughts of him coming back, thinking that my life would get better, but everything turned out to be the opposite. I was better off when he wasn't around.

I laughed to myself, then hurried out the bar. If living without Jack was better for me, then I'm going to have to make him leave again.

This chapter was only 496 words; it's really short. I'm sorry about that. I always try to aim for 1,000 words or something, but I have a lot planned for this story that I needed to end this chapter short.

I also apologize for not updating in a month(?) If you guys check my profile, you'll see it has changed dramatically. I write for my kpop fandom now, so that takes up a lot of my time. However, I'm still part of the Septiplier fandom! 

This story will be ending soon :/ BUT WITH A BIG TWIST HEHE~ (I think I mentioned this before)

So, don't forget to vote and comment! I love you guys so much. Buh-bye! <3
