The One That Got Away (Jared Padalecki × Reader)

~20~

   Friday came quicker than expected and I was a nervous wreck, I was about to ruin my best friends love life by breaking the news to him. I was in an Escalade riding to the fancy place Jared rented out 'just to ask Elizabeth for her hand', Jensen's words not mine, but going on I hadn't talked to Jared this week and today would probably the last.

Jenny🐿- have u told him?

I sigh and slam my phone down next to me not wanting to reply, I take an advil and sink into my seat.
                              🔹️
    As the car stopped my heart was rushing and my mouth became dry, I pulled my short flowy dress down because of my nervousness and the light wind.

"Hey" Jensen who waited outside for me says coming to my side "have you-"

"No, but I'm going too, right now" I say and his eyes widen.

"N-now? Are you insane?"

"You wanted me so I'm doing it Jensen!" I say slightly annoyed at the constant pressure he was putting onto my plate.
We walked into the event and I follow behind Jensen looking for Jared. I stand by Jensen's side with a glass of champagne in my hand I quickly chug before grabbing Jensen's.

"Wanna calm down?" He whispers to me trying to take the drink away from me but I chug that one down as well as I spot Jared who stood across the room looking nervous and annoyed? Why was he annoyed? I nudged Jensen signalling that I found him and would met him later. I walk over to him and with every step my heart kept racing faster and faster.

"Y/n, Jared can I have you autograph?" A young fan says holding out a sharpie and a book, I smiled and grabbed it, quickly signing it than giving it to Jared. "Jared, you must get this alot but you've saved my life" and he gives her a smile and a quick tight hug before walking away.

"We need to talk" I say and he gives me a look questioning what I needed and before he said anything I forcefully pulled him into a room.

"I'm great y/n thanks for asking" he says with sarcasm and I glare. "What's wrong?" I take a deep breath preparing myself for whatever he will say.

"Elizabeth isn't the woman you think she is" I say and he gives me a look obviously hurt by what I said.

"Says the girl who had oral sex in the bathroom" he says and I look at him hurt by the old high school rumor, his eyes widen realizing what he said but it was too late. "Y/n thats not what- shit! I'm so sorry"

"Fuck you Jared."

"Sorry! It just slipped, but you accusing my future fiancé is not okay!" He says starting to walk out of the room before I slam the door shut.

"Jared, look!" I say shoving the photo of Elizabeth and a guy making out in his face.

"Y/n, you out of all people should know that pictures can lie, now move!"

"I'm sorry Jared but I can't let you make a mistake like this"

"Why do you care? Can't you see I'm happy?"

"I DO! I really do but I-"

"Then leave me the hell alone!"

"I can't!"

"Why?"

"BECAUSE JARED!" I yelled getting frustrated.

"BECAUSE WHAT Y/N?" He asked raising his voice as well.

"BECAUSE YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND a-and I see you more than that" I yelled than slowly lowered my voice feeling the water sting my eyes.

"I love Elizabeth" and before I could say anything the door opens and we look at the people who were too busy paying attention to their make out session to see that we stood there watching in shock."E-Elizabeth?" I look between her and Jared.

"Jared" she says breathless. "It's not what it looks like" and I looked at Jared who looked so broken, he looks at me and I walk away.
                              🔹️
    A few minutes later I stood next to Jensen waiting anxiously for Jared to come out and tell me what happened.

"What happened?" Jensen asked as I held my forth glass of champagne tightly.

"I told him everything than we saw Elizabeth make out with a guy" I summarize and he scoffs while taking a sip from his glass.

"Y/n" a deep voice said causing me turn around and see Jared walking toward me than putting his hands on the side of my face than pressing his lips toward mine.

"I love you too" he said softly and I looked up at him speechless than he walked to the front. "Excuse me can I have your attention, due to some cheating and lying I will not be proposing to Elizabeth Terez" and he walked too me and put an arm around my shoulder.
                               🔹️
"Y/n! Hey you okay?" Jensen asked waving a hand in my face, I blinked confused.

"Yeah" I mumble blinking "just day dreaming"

"So what happened?" Jensen asked

"He didn't believe me until he saw it himself, Elizabeth walked in make out with a guy" I say, Jared walks into the room and everybody looked at him. "Jared"

"How long did you have you had that photo?"

"Since the premier" I whispered and he threw his hands into his hair. "Jared I'm-"

"And you pick today to tell me?" He says ''you call me your best friend but you really aren't, you're a real bitch-" He said and I feel people's eyes on me.

"Jared enough" Jensen cuts in "you're saying all of this cause you're mad now stop'' the tears I held in slid down my face and I quickly walked out humiliated as I felt all the eyes on me and all the thoughts that they where probably thinking about me. I get into a cab and start letting the tears spill from my eyes.
