I like the bad boy... - COMPLETED -

Chapter 38

Today it's December 24th. It's been a couple of days since our first mission and Steven's episode. Nobody knows about that except for Aiden perhaps but he hasn't said anything about it so neither did I.

"So, ready to go see my dad?" Lucas asks taking my hand in his. Steven invited us to spend dinner with him and the rest of the gang at his place. Lucas dressed up in the clothes I got him at Davey's and I'm wearing my same red dress. I'm wearing my entire outfit from that day just as he is.

"As ready as always." I giggle as we walk up the stairs to the front door. Lucas rings the bell and it soon opens revealing Jack.

"Hey guys. Emma, you look beautiful!" Jack greets us with a hug.

"Thanks, Jack. You don't look bad yourself." I return the compliment and I can immediately see Lucas getting jealous so I lean up to his ears and whisper "You still look way better!" Lucas chuckles at this and wraps his arm around my waist pulling me closer to him.

"C'mon I'll introduce you to my parents they're really curious to meet you after all they've heard about you." Jack says leading us to a man and woman around their fifties. Apparently, Christmas is spent with family and the gang is sort of family so everyone gathers the 24th at Steven's plays for this every year. This way the 25th is spent with relatives and not the gang but have both their Christmas together.

"Mom, dad this is Emma the newest member of our gang. Emma these are my parents Lidia and Patrick." Jack introduces us.

"Hi, it's nice to meet you." I say extending my hand to Lidia and Patrick.

"Oh, this is the famous Emma! She's the one you went to camp with, right? The girl you loved back then?" The first part Lidia says out loud but the last part she whispers to Jack. My smile drops from my face as I hear those words.

"What?" Lucas demands as I exclaim "You loved me?" Jack gives his mother a deadly glare before looking at us.

"I think this is a conversation for another time." Jack tells us but neither Lucas nor I want to have this talk another time.

"Nope, we're going to talk about this right now." Lucas tells him sternly.

"Let's talk about this in private, guys. It was nice meeting you." I tell the guys before turning to Lidia and Patrick. They both nod in agreement and so the three of us go upstairs. We pass a couple of the others and we quickly say hello but continue going upstairs.

We enter the same room that I took Lucas to when I first came here. I close the door because I have a feeling that there will be a lot of shouting going on.

"Okay, talk." I tell Jack as we all take a seat. He looks between me and Lucas and nods his head.

"Before I start talking I just want to say that what I felt for Emma is in the past." Jack tells Lucas who only nods at this statement.

"So, when we were on that camp I started to get feelings every time I was near you. It were little things that caught my attention like you being a real acrobat and stuff but it was also your laugh and smiles. Everything you did made me happy and at some point I realised I was in love with you." Jack confesses.

"But if you were in love with me then why did you say all those things to me? Why did you break up with me?" I question confused.

"I didn't want you to leave me. I didn't want my heart to get broken by you when we left camp and I never saw you again. That's why I did the only thing I thought would keep me from getting hurt but it did hurt when I broke up with you. It hurt for a long time." Jack sighs.

"I know how fast someone can fall for Emma so how do I know for sure that you don't love her anymore? Because from what I'm hearing now I remember every time you would hang out with a girl and you would come back saying that it wasn't 'her' and I'm suspecting that 'her' is Emma" Lucas demands.
