"Lying to yourself won't make you forget what happened. You liked it, you wanted it. You wanted it just as much as i did. You want it right now." i can just feel Joe smirking.

I grip on the ends of my sleeves whilst folding my arms across my chest.
It's only spring yet it's still chilly out. The wind brushes my face as i finally approach Jack's house. Conor opens the door with quite a confused look. I never come over here.
"Hey, where's Jack?" i ask. "Oh he's in his room. Why do you wanna see Jack?" his words have a hint of giggle and wonder.
"To catch up." i speak as i come inside then heading off to find Jack.
"Knock Knock." i say in a singing tone while 2 of my knuckles knock against his door then opening it to find Jack. "Ello Ello" Jack smiles at me while turning around in his chair away from his desk.
"Whatcha doin?" i ask.
"Was just finishing homework." my eyes widen at his comment "Wow, you do homework?" i sarcastically say with a chuckle.
"Don't tell anyone!" he quickly says in frighten but is obviously joking.
"So." i start to say. "Have you spoken to Violet?" he licks his lips and his face looks concentrated trying not to show any other emotion, i guess.
"Um yeah. Once. I basically told her we should take a break from each other." the way he said those words made it seem like there were razor blades in his throat.
"Are you okay?" i ask.
He shrugs it off then taking a deep breath. "Nothing i can do really. We're both so.. Toxic for each other. Why would i want to keep going back and forth with her? Constantly hurting each other. Cause that's all we do. I cheat on her, she cheats on me, we make up then do it all over again it's just..-" he rants.
"Not healthy." i add on.
"Yeah."
"But what's different this time?" i ask delicately. "I realize i love her." he says with a more shocked expression than me.
"And because i love her we need some time to ourselves. To grow. And to see if we actually do love each other and if we do then well.." he shrugs. I'm pretty surprised at how wise he is and how well he's taking all this.
"Plus she cheated on me with one of my friends. So i mean. And it was right after she told me she loved me." he repeats his words from the night he ranted to me at the Lake House. He knows he didn't say it back at that moment and that made her upset, but it was still wrong.
"I know, Jack. But, maybe this break apart will be good. And even though you guys take breaks all the time this one will be different. Because you both love each other." i assure him.
He nods his head. "Have you talked to her? or cody?" he asks.
I sigh. "Not Violet. Cody and I talked a little over text. He apologized and all. He really doesn't deserve for me to be mad at him, because he was there for me with everything else. Violet just.." i think of every thing else she wasn't there for.
"I get it." Jack speaks up.
I just nod. "Joe and I are together." i blurt out and he looks semi surprised but semi not.
"Good." he finally smiles. "When you two were arguing he would always be upset at the sight of you and then rant to me about you when you weren't there." i laugh a little at his comment.
"You guys are dating or just together?"
"I don't know, we don't really have a label right now. We're just.. together, and a lot of people know about it, so." i shrug with a chuckle.
Just then my phone starts ringing. Joe.
(Emma/Joe)
"Hello?"
"Hey! What're you doing?"
"Hanging out at Jack's."
"Why?"
"He's replaced Cody." *laughter* "Just catching up though. Talking about Violet and all."
"Speaking of her, she keeps trying to get me, to get you, to talk to her."
"Uh, when did you even speak to her?"
"She keeps texting. But i don't respond. Anyway, not why i called. I miss you, i haven't seen you since i left your house"
"joe you seen me at school." *laughter*
"Yeah but its Saturday, and i mean since we've properly hung out. Can i come over later?"
"yeah, sure. Come over around 8 ish."
"Jeez how long you going to be at Jack's for?" *chuckles*
*slight giggle* "I won't be at his, i'm going to Cody's. And don't talk me out of it or even say anything about it! Cody and i have sort of made up and he just wants to talk in person."
*sighs* "Okay Okay. Text me when you leave his house."
