Torn up. ~Flamingeos Fanfiction

Chapter 86

"What do you think of them?" I asked Jack as we sat down in his car. 

"They're alright." He shrugged after throwing some gum in his mouth. 

I rolled my eyes but couldn't help but smile. I suppose Ariel and Mario aren't really his type. Which means he has no interest in Ariel. I may's as well try to spark some chemistry between them anyway, seeing as I did say I would.

"Let's talk about Ariel." I began. Jack looked at me as if to say "what is wrong with you?" which made me let out a little giggle. I then held his hand, just because I felt like it, and blushed when he brought it up to his mouth and kissed it. "Opinions?"

"She's cool." He murmured, obviously not caring.

"And pretty, right?"

"I guess." Jack shrugged. He then looked at me when his car stopped at a red light and let out a smile. "Not as cute as my baby though."

I let out an even bigger smile and then kissed Jack's cheek. "No one can be as good looking as mine." 

Why did I say that? I should be getting over Jack, not kissing his cheek and telling him that he's mine. I have a boyfriend waiting for me. 

"Cheating isn't cool." Jack told me as if he just read my mind. He then let go of my hand and added, "We really should stop all of this."

Although what he just said hit me like a rock, I couldn't help but agree. "I know." I sighed. 

There was silence for a while. I knew that he was thinking about Geo. But Geo's broken my heart so many times that I can't help but be unloyal to him. There comes a time when enough is enough. And him being in prison too.. I just don't see him enough. 

"I will never get over you Lucy." Jack admitted, causing another truck load of butterflies to escape into my stomach. "But I know you will."

Tears filled my eyes when I saw that Jack was crying. I wanted to wipe away his tears but then again I knew that I shouldn't. Jack doesn't deserve to get his heart broken, he's treated me so nicely and made me feel special for once. Yet I know deep inside me that my heart will always belong to Geo.. 

"You'll find someone better than me one day." I sniffed whilst wiping away tears with a tissue. "Girls can't get enough of you, and your British accent will make things easier."

"I will never, never find anyone better than you Lucy Howells." 

I stared at him in shock, mainly because he sounded so defensive and angry. More tears were rolling down his cheeks and I just wanted to give him a huge hug. 

"From now on you're just a friend." 

I stared at Jack in more heart break than shock this time. I could tell how much those words hurt him too because this time tears would not stop escaping from his eyes. 

"Well.. just know that I love you." Was all I could think of. I then slumped down in my chair and stared forwards in sadness. 

If I let Ariel drop me home none of this would have happened.
