Through thick and thin; A Conor Maynard fanfiction

Jack's P.O.V

My heart is beating fast in my chest as I take the last few steps that's left to her apartment door. I knew our relationship hadn't been healthy reasently, I'd been away a lot due to YouTube and Lexi had just been my second priority lately. Breathe Jack, breathe. I raise my hand to knock but do instantly regret it, bringing it down to my side once again. I'm crapping my pants and I don't even know what for. I mean, I've known Lexi for years now.

*Four years earlier*

Lexi's P.O.V

Here we go Lexi, it's just a simple interview, you're just going to go in and tell him about yourself before you leave, nothing special. I already know I don't want this job, these YouTube "stars", if you can call them that are nothing for me, especially not a young immature male who think he's this outstanding person. Dom had asked me a few weeks ago, this new guy called Jack had just been signed to Gleam and needed a manager asap. He sent me a few links to his videos and I knew just by watching them that Jack Maynard wasn't going to be my future duty.

"Lexi Adams"

I gather up my folders and walk over to the office where he's sat.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Jack"

"Lexi"

I shake his hand and even though he seems like a confident guy does his sweaty palm tell me the truth, he's terrified. 

"Have a seat and tell me some things about yourself, why you want the job for example"

Jack smile as I pull the leather chair out and sit down opposite him.

"So I'm Lexi Adams, twenty-one years old. It's not really much to say about me apart from the fact people sometimes think I'm weird"

Jack tries to hold in a giggle and I feel myself blush.

"Then we're two, I mean look at me, it's strange I've even got friends to be honest"

I clear my throat and continue as Jack's eyes seems to have travelled a bit too far down for my liking

..........

"It was nice talking to you Jack but I think I'll have to get going"

The interview had gone past it's twenty minute time limit and all I wanted was to get out of this crammed room.

"Your business card please"

Jack look at me with pleading eyes as I start putting all my documents into my bag.

I tear off a piece of my notebook and scribble down my email address and phone number before walking out through the glass door, my bag over one shoulder.

"I like her"

Jack's voice could be heard through out the whole office.

"You sure, we still have a few left to go through"

I continue walking.

"Yes she's the one"

*Present time*

Jack's P.O.V

I just do it, it's no going back now but I do almost instantly regret it as I hear her footsteps on the other side of the door.

"Jack what are you doing here?"

Lexi looks surprised as she opens the door to her apartment. I just stand there, looking down at the floor.

"I came to say sorry"

I sigh as our eyes meet but she doesn't say anything.

"Can I come in?"
