Torn up. ~Flamingeos Fanfiction

Chapter 96

I walked home after going to the shops with a face full of tears to buy some ice cream and instantly dropped my shopping bags after closing my apartment door and ran to hug Jack, who was standing up whilst folding clothes with his back facing me. He turned around to face me and kissed my head whilst his hand rubbed the back of my head. I closed my eyes and allowed more tears to roll down my cheeks. 

"I visited Geo." Jack whispered. 

I didn't say anything, I simply just carried on crying  even though I was interested to know what happened. 

"He.. he misses you."

I wasn't sure if Jack was lying or not, the tone of his voice didn't sound too trust worthy. I looked up at him and felt the butterflies in my stomach flutter around when our noses touched. I wanted to kiss him so badly but at the same time knew we shouldn't. 

"He doesn't." I said whilst our noses were still touchng, even though the only thing that saying those two words did was make me cry even more. "He's lying, he just wants to look like the good one."

Jack didn't say anything which was good.

After a few seconds of staring into each others eyes with fast beating hearts, Jack looked at my lips for a while and then let go of my waist. He obviously knew that kissing me was not a good idea. 

"I'll help get you and Geo back together." Jack sighed. I could sense the pain in his voice. He still loves me, just as much as I love him.

"Why.. why don't we just go out?" I hated asking him that, it made me feel so desperate. But I couldn't keep it inside of me any longer, I knew that the question would be stuck in my mind all night.

Jack turned around to face me and laughed. I could see pure happiness in his eyes which gave me the impression that he loved the idea, but his response was not what I expected. 

"I love Ariel you goof ball." 

He then ruffled my hair and walked past me to his room. I let out a sigh and collapsed onto the sofa behind me. 

"Well you were the one who stared at my lips as if you wanted to kiss me." I yelled back, feeling a little rush of proudness of how good that comeback was. 

"Ha ha ha." Jack yelled back sarcastically but playfully, "good one."

I felt my lips stretch into a smile and walked over towards him to carry on the play argument. But I quickly backed away when I saw that he was just in his boxers.

"I don't care Luc, come back." Jack muttered. I slowly walked back into our room and felt my cheeks blush when I saw him pop on his joggers. He then fell onto the bed with no top on and I laid down with him. Usually when I do this with people I laugh, but I couldn't even smile this time. I just stared at the ceiling feeling nothing but heart break.

I'm sure one day I'll stop feeling heartbroken and I'll have my own husband, who probably wont even be Geo or Jack. I don't know how I'm ever going to get over them, but I'm sure the day will come eventually. Then I'll finally live in peace. 

Jack turned his head so he was facing me. My heart beat was thudding yet again, and I began to feel my legs tremble when he stared at my lips.

"Are we really going to do this?" I whispered, staring at his lips and debating whether I should make the first move or not. 

Jack didn't answer. He leaned in forwards with closed eyes and reached my lips. For a few seconds he stayed there, looking at me with sad eyes. But eventually I gave in and kissed him. 

We really need to stop doing this. But it looks like we're both so in love with each other that we can't help ourselves.
