Everyone says that love hurts, but that's not true.
Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Loosing someone hurts.
Everyone confuses these things with love, but in reality love is the only thing in this world that covers up all the pain and makes us...
I ran into our hotel room with wide, excited eyes.
"It's so beautiful!" I gasped. Jack must be really rich.
I was expecting a basic room with two plain beds and a desk. But no, this room was huge with a granite kitchen, a separate room for our beds with a huge tv screen and a marble bathroom!
"Please don't tell me the price of all of this." I joked as I observed every single detail in awe.
Jack let out a little laugh and then looked into the fridge which was full of food. "Apple?" He asked. I nodded and caught the apple he threw to me, trying to hide the fact that he's treating me like one of his friends. He then took a big bite of his one and walked into our bedroom, ignoring me staring at him with an upset face.
"Whatever." I sighed, shrugging. I have Geo and that's all that matters. I then sat down at the kitchen table and decided to plan Jack and Ariel's "set up" for tomorrow.
"Jack, do you wanna go to the park with Ariel tomorrow?" I yelled.
"Alright." He yelled back casually. He then walked towards me and frowned. "Why the long face?"
"Homesickness." I lied. Jack then sat down next to me and put his arm over my shoulders.
"You still like Geo?" He asked.
"Yes" I blurted out. I wanted to cry when I saw Jack's hurt eyes. He let go of me and then stood up to walk back into his room.
"Cool." He murmured seconds before disappearing.
I let out a sigh and slumped into my chair. If I'm going to make Ariel and Jack become a thing the first thing I need to do is make Jack get over me, no matter how much I love him.
This is so unfair. Why does Geo have to be in prison, if he was out things would have been so much easier. I would have simply gone off with Geo, knowing that he's all mine now. I haven't heard anything about Loren lately and I'm praying that she's over him.
I then got changed in the bathroom to get into my pyjamas and slept on the sofa, away from Jack after I had a shower and brushed my teeth.

Today's the day.
I had got changed into the prettiest outfit I could pull off just so Jack would get distracted by me from Ariel's beautiful face. My hair was put into french braids and my makeup was cute I guess. It took me almost an hour to pull off but it was worth it, i'm sure.
I texted Ariel to tell her that me and Jack will meet her and then walked with Jack who had put no effort in his outfit at all to go into the car.
"Why isn't Mario coming?" He asked whilst putting on the engine.
Because my plan to get you and Ariel together wouldn't work Was the answer. Instead, I said: "He's ill."
"Why do you look so..sad?"
I blushed when I caught Jack staring at me in concern. I didn't even notice that I was pulling an upset face. "Homesickness." I said, the same excuse as last time when really I was just scared of loosing Jack.
"If you want to go home you always can." Jack informed me. "I don't care to be honest, I'll happily come with you."
"No." I replied sternly. I'm not going back to that hell. Things may be getting tough now but nothing can compare to back in England, things never go well for me.
But would I really rather watch the boy I love fall in love with my best friend? If that will ever happen..
I jumped when I felt Jack pat my back for reassurance. He patted it as though I was one of his friends, muscly and strong. Usually he pats me in a more "romantic" way I guess. But nope, not today and probably not ever. I guess I just have to be accepted as one of his mates from now on.
