Impossible {A Jortini fanfiction}

Chapter XVIII

Jorge pov

I'm driving home after I dropped Tini at her house. I've got a strange feeling about this whole situation.

I want nothing else than to be with Tini, but then I've got to lie to Stephie and I know that's very unfair.

I arrive at my place and enter my house. "Stephie? I'm home!" Stephie walks out of the kitchen towards me.

"Hi...", she mumbles. "Look Stephie, I'm sorry... I'm sorry for fighting with you and running away, I shouldn't have done that, it was wrong"

She looks up at me and forces a smile, but I see she has cried. "So where have you been?", she asks.

"I already told you, I was with Ruggero all night" She comes closer to me and the sadness in her eyes turns into anger.

"Jorge, don't lie to me. Where have you been?" "With Rugge, I swear" "Do I look like I'm stupid?", she asks raising her eyebrows.

"No, babe, I-" "Don't "babe" me!", she says cutting me off. "I called Ruggero and guess what, he told me you stayed over at Tini's place after her party"

Fuck.. I love Ruggero, but sometimes I could just.. ugh. "Stephie, it's really not what you think"

"Well, what do I think then?", she asks crossing her arms. "I don't know, but I, I just.." I sight and go on.

"After our fight I just needed some distraction and-" "And you thought let's go to Tini?", she asks cutting me off.

"No, let me finish!" She sights and I go on. "And Tini was throwing a little party with some friends and I could really use that"

"So you went to the party and banged her?", she asks cutting me off again. "No what the..?!" Do they even still use the word "bang"?! Ugh...

"Just let me finish please" She rolls her eyes but then nods. "I was really tired after the party and suddenly fell asleep"

"Tini let me sleep and that's how I ended up laying in Tini's couch" "And you expect me to believe that?", she asks me raising her eyebrows.

"It's the truth, whether you believe me or not" She shakes her head in disbelieve.

"Stephie, plea-" "I need time", she says cutting me off. "What do you mean, you need time?", I ask confused. Is she's going to move out, or...?

"I need time to think about this, Jorge. I don't know if I can trust you anymore...", she sights.

"Okay, if that's what you want...", I sight. "I guess it's the best for both of us if I'm going to live with my parents for a while...", she says looking down.

"I understand" "I love you, Jorge", she says with teary eyes. "And I'm going to miss you" I give her a little smile and take her in my arms as she starts to cry.

She pulls away from me and walks upstairs. After a while she comes back with a suitcase in her hands.

"Goodbye, Jorge" She gives me a little kiss on my cheek, before she dissapears and gone is she.

I don't know... I'm supposed to be happy, but I'm not... The only thing I feel is guilt.

I take my phone and call Rugge.

Phone conversation:

R: Hello, Jorge?

J: Hay, Rugg

R: What's up, bro?

J: Euhm, I'm having a... situation

R: What do you mean?

J: Could you come over?

R: Sure! Give me half an hour

J: Thanks, bro! See ya

I hang up the phone and let my body fall down in the couch, waiting for Ruggero.

I hear the doorbell and open it. "Hello, Rugg- Tini?" I look at her surprised since she's not the one I was expecting.

"I'm sorry, Jorge, am I disturbing you?", she asks shyly. "No, no, I just, I was expecting someone else. Come in!"

She smiles at me and comes in. "I just needed to see you", she says pulling me into a hug. "What happened?"

We let go of each other as I see her tears. "P-Pepe, he..." Before she can finish her sentence, she bursts into tears.

"Shhh, don't cry. You're way too beautiful to cry, my love", I say rubbing her back.

After a while her heavy sobs turn into soft ones. "Shhh, sit down. I'll get you a glass of water, okay?"

She forces a smile and a soft "Thanks" as I get her a glass of water. I take a seat next to her and gently caress her cheek.

"You can tell me if you're ready" She looks up at me and takes a deep breath. "When I came home, I shouted Pepe's name, but I didn't get a response"

"So I checked if he was upstairs, but I couldn't find him" She stops and takes another deep breath before she goes on.

"I called him on his cellphone and a girl picked up the phone. I asked her who she was and why she had Pepe's phone and she... she told me that..."

"Shhh, Martina, you can say it. Calm down a bit", I say as another tear rolls down on her cheek.

"She told me tha-" Tini gets interrupted by the doorbell. "I'm sorry", I say as I go open the door to see Rugge.

"Hey, bro", he says giving me a brohug. "Hello, Rugge. See, my situation got a little bit more complicated... Tini's here"

"What?! Why?" "It's complicated... you see Tini and I are kind of having an affair...", I say slowly as his eyes get big.

"What?! You're kidding me, right?", Rugge says in disbelieve. I shake my head. "What about Stephie? You broke up with her?"

"Kind of..." "What do you mean "kind of"?" "We took a break in our relationship" "Jorge, man...", he says shaking his head.

"I don't know what to do, Rugge..." "Pff, neither do I...", he sights." Please, Rugge, you need to help me!"

"I just think that you should be honest with Stephie and Tini" "I know you're right, but it's not that easy..." "I get it, but I'll leave you alone with Tini now", he says turning around.

"Wait, Rugge, thanks" He smiles. "No problem, bro. That's what friends are for" I give him a thankful smile and return to Tini.

"I'm sorry it took so long" "It's okay", she says faking a smile. I take a seat next to her.

"You were telling me that..." She takes a deep breath.

"Pepe had an accident after he heard he's going to be a father"
