"So, do you want to explain the change of relationship between you and G?" Johnson asked, his brows raised.

I coughed and cleared my throat. "It's a long story."

He laughed and pointed to Nate and Sam who were playing on the Xbox. "I'd rather hear it than loose brain cells with those two."

Sighing, I told him everything. Starting with Skipping and finishing with me being his wing women.

"Damn, i had no idea Jack had told you all of this. Sam and Nate don't even know and they're hella close to him."

"I know and that's why I'm helping him."

Jack has always been closed off, only letting people see his cocky and rude side. Hell, I didn't even know he was a decent person until he opened up to me. From what Johnson has told me, Gilinsky has always had these walls built up because of his parents.

"If Jack loves Madison this much, I want to help him. I want her to bring out the best out of him and I know that she can." I said, smiling.

"G is very complicated, so give him time. He has more mood swings than Mallory."

I laughed and nodded. "I'm ready for the challenge."

Johnson nodded and stared at me.

"Why are you even doing this? Don't tell me you have some secret feelings and shit."

Slapping Jack J, I shook my head. "Honestly, my life is so boring and lonely. Plus, maybe with this Jack and I can finally get along."

"I wish you the best of luck Liv, for the past two months, Jack and Madison's relationship has been a mess."

"You don't really want me to give you my phone, do you?" I asked glaring at Olivia.

Her face had a look of utter seriousness. "I don't 'want', I expect to have your phone with me for the whole day tomorrow."

"But why? I'm already planning this whole date, doesn't that show how much I care for her?"

She gasped and slapped my shoulder for the 10th time.

"What the fuck?! Can your hoe ass stop slapping me?"

Olivia glared at me and threw up her middle finger as she made her way to the other side of the pool.

I stared at her long blonde hair and wondered what the fuck she thinks. How could a basic, boring rich girl like her possibly know what Madison wants. Olivia would forgive a guy if he bought her a bag or some shit like that

"Jack fucking Gilinsky! Did you even hear me?!"

"Not really."

She rolled her eyes and glared at me again. "I'm trying to help you out, please. . . at least listen."

"It was your choice to help me, stop complaining." I said standing up and coming to where she was.

"Yeah, well I didn't know you were going to be this stubborn!" She huffed, crossing her arms and looking like a mad five year old.

Laughing, I lied on the pool chair. "Anyways, what's the plan for the day?" I asked, browsing through twitter.

"First off,"

Not waiting a second, she grabbed my phone from my unsuspecting hands.

"What the fuck?!"

Smiling smugly, she turned it off and placed it inside of her cardigan.

"Stop being so disconnected with reality. Trust me, this will help you tremendously."

If looks could kill, Olivia would be dead on the ground right now.

"Ok, fine. Tell me what you got."

*5 hours after*

I nervously fixed my tie for the 3rd time and glanced at the mirror.

Olivia walked into my room and threw herself onto my bed, eating hot funyuns.

"Relax, bud. The worst that could happen is that she'll stand you up to fuck another dude and reject your romantic persuasive speech as to why she should give you another chance after you cheated on her by fucking some girls."

I glared at her.

"You know, I really hate you."

She smiled and started chewing loudly, "I know."

I glanced again at the mirror and shook my head. I don't think there's a single time a girl has made me this anxious or just overall nervous. All these new feelings confused me.

Olivia stood up and fixed my collar, her cold hands brushing my neck. The slight touch
made me shiver.

Her blue eyes were shining and she gave me a small smile. "Just bring out the sweet and kind hearted Jack that I know is in you and you'll be fine."

"I'm not sure if you'd like Italian food, so I kinda made a little of everything and if you don't like the lights I can change the-"

"Jack stop, this is breathtaking."

I breathed out a sigh of relief, this was actually a lot more nerve racking than I thought.

Madison looked completely and utterly gorgeous and I mentally hit myself. How was I stupid enough to cheat on her? She's everything I've ever wanted.

Pushing out her chair, I gave her the wide smirk that I know makes girls go crazy.
"I'm glad you like it. A special girl deserves special treatment."

She smiled and blushed. "You know, I never thought you had it in you to do this for me, especially after what happened and knowing your reputation."

Instantly, the smirk left my face. "I know and that's what I wanted to talk to you about. I feel like shit knowing what I put you through, even if we weren't -aren't- official, it was still wrong to do that. You're one of a kind and I'm a stupid douchebag who hurt the only girl he's ever loved and I'm sorr-"

"Jack, did you just say you loved me?"

Her face was full of shock and I immediately froze.

Do I love Madison? I'm not sure what my feelings are towards her, but there's something. Something I've never felt.

Taking a deep breath, I nodded. "It's true. I love you, Madison Beer."
