Only One; Why Don't We

Chapter 22

Dinner was great. We made pizza and just talked. Something us millennials never do anymore.
-
Logan brought me and Aliana home.
-
We walked upstairs. I began to unlock the door. Twisted the handle. And pushed it open. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw someone sitting in a chair waiting for me.

It was Chloe.

"Hello Whore." She smiled.

"Chloe how the hell did you get in my apartment?!" I yelled.

"That doesn't matter. What matters is that you stay away from Zach."

"I thought you liked Jack? What happened to him?" I asked.

"He doesn't want anything to do with me, so now I'm taking Zach from you."

I walked into my apartment more. She laughed as Zach was sitting on the couch staring at her. She sat on top of him and they began making out.

I began crying. "Zach what the hell?! How could you do this to me. I thought you loved me." My voice became quiet.

He pushed Chloe off of him and walked up to me. "How could I love a little whore like you? You sleep with every guy you see. I wouldn't be surprised if you even slept with Jack again. God, and I thought I was in love with you. Chloe told me all about your past. How you were labeled as the school slut, how you got pregnant, then lost the baby at 2 months. I know it all. It's my turn to make a decision and I pick Chloe. She at least told me the truth."

He was right. I didn't tell him any of that. But it was all true.

"Chloe your such a BITCH, THIS IS MY PRIVATE LIFE HOW COUKD YOU DO THIS!??!"

Chloe came up to me laughing, she had a knife behind her back, thinking it was hidden from me. It wasn't.

She pulled it out and went to stab me when I caught the knife with my hand. It sliced the skin open, blood was gushing everywhere. I was helpless. She leaned over me.

"Bye bye bitch."

Then everything went black.
-
I woke up in a panic. Checking my hands.

"Everything alright baby cousin?" Logan said from the drivers seat.

Oh thank god. It was just a dream. It was all just a dream.
-
We walked upstairs. I began to unlock the door. Twisted the handle. And pushed it open. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw someone sitting in a chair waiting for me.

It was Jack. There were candles lit all around the room. He was sitting there in a tux with roses in his hand.

I slowly walked in, waiting for Chloe to pop in again and start stabbing me. But she didn't. This was real.

"Listen Mackenzie. I've been a jealous dick recently and I want you to know that I'm sorry. I miss us, I miss the way we used to snuggle, I miss the way you used to play with my hair. I miss your kiss and your body. I miss your personality and your laugh, your eyes, and that god damn smile that makes me turn red. I fucking miss you Mackenzie. And I know you might not feel the same but...I love you." He got down on one knee and flipped open a box. Inside was a gorgeous diamond ring.

"Jack I can't marry you."

He laughed. "This is a promise ring. This is me telling you that no one else matters to me but you, that I need you in my life, and most importantly what I would do to keep you in it."

I was completely star struck. I don't know wether to be happy. Or angry. Did I even love him anymore. I don't know.

"Just take it, you don't have to make your decision now. Just think about it."

He grabbed my waist. And leaned in for a kiss. Maybe I am a slut. I kissed him back. And I loved it. The truth is I missed him too, but I was in love with Zach and what we have is so great. I pulled away from him.

"I think you should go." I said.

"I understand. Just please think about it." He smiled and walked out the door handing me the roses.

I shut the door and leaned against it in relief.

"What the hell just happened?" Aliana came out of her room.

"I have no clue." I stated.
-
Me and Aliana stayed up all night talking about my situation. We decided to make a pros and cons list.

Hot, caring, loyal, sweet, smells really good, trusting, in love with me.

___________

___________________________
There was still no decision. We had made zero process since we started.

I loved them both. Sometimes one more than the other. But in the end they are always the same.

My relationship with Zach is bittersweet right now.

It hit 12:00 and a reminder went off on my phone.
* three days until trial. *
I forgot about that stupid trial. It's always ruining everything.

I began to fall asleep after we went our separate ways. I heard Aliana get up, open the door, then run back to her room laughing.

It was Daniel. I could hear him. I got up and went into the kitchen. I couldn't sleep. Not with knowing I kissed Jack. I needed to talk to Zach.

* messages with Zach❤️ *
Me: hey baby, can you come over? I want to talk about something.
Z❤️: you mean like how you kissed Jack?
Me: exactly, I wanted to explain to you the situation. Please.

He didn't answer.
-
10 mins later there was a knock on my door.

I opened it to see Zach.

"Let's get this over with." He said pulling me outside the door.

"Zach listen, he was in my house, with roses, and a ring. I didn't tell him yes."

"But you didn't tell him no."

"That's the thing, I thought I was still in love with him. But the kiss made me realize I'm in love with you. It meant nothing. I promise."

"Then why are you wearing the ring?"

"I didn't want to loose it until I could get it back to him. Zach you have to believe me."

"I do. I'm glad you finally decided. I love you." Zach said putting his arms around my waist and pulling me into a kiss.
__________________________
* trial day *

Aliana went back home, and everything was normal again. Me and Zach have been in an amazing relationship, and I think Jack is finally moving on.

The trial was cleared and I no longer had to be reminded of my rape.

I was just excited for tour.
