Chapter 121

Kelsey

It's already past ten when I'm finally laying in bed and have the lights turned off. Yes, I spent at least half in hour in front of the mirror trying to ensure myself that what I did was right, and with "that" I mean not running after Niall. Yes I'm still thinking about it and yes it's still driving me nuts. Why is everything about HIM? Am I really so pathetic?

I take a deep breath and set my alarm for the next morning. I debate with myself whether I should give Niall a call or not. Yes he said that he'll be waiting till I come to him but that's still not a reason to do it now. I quickly go through my contacts and press the call button once I land on the person I could give a quick ring. It's not Niall but Jack.

"Oh I thought you'd never call." He sighs when he picks up.

"So you've been waiting for me to ring you, interesting." I smirk. Two can play that game, Jack.

"I was waiting for you to come over, you know a round of sex I wouldn't mind." He chuckles and I can only roll with my eyes. That boy only thinks with his.. little Jack.

"Shut up and listen." I demand before I go on. "Niall showed up." I wait for Jack to reply but he doesn't. There's a silence, a very very long silence.

"Jack, you still there?" I ask. Maybe he fell asleep, but I seriously doubt it since Jack usually doesn't go to bed before 12.

"Sorry, I was in shock for a second. What do you mean with Niall showed up? Where?" Okay, he's still awake and on the phone with me.

"At my house?" Jack will think I've gone completely mental.

"Wait... He showed up at your house, the one you live in?" He repeats my words.

"Yes he left an hour ago." Should I tell him everything? I doubt he doesn't even want to know.

"Why would he show up? It's not like you've talked for the last couple of months?"

"He wanted to talk to me today. I don't know.. I might or might not have .." I inhale one more time and think about what I want to say.

"You've slept with him.. what the fuck.. Thanks for telling me. Now I dream about Niall and you having sex .. and.." What is Jack actually saying? As I would sleep with Niall the second he shows up. I am not that desperate. Okay maybe I am but Jack doesn't need to know that. I can tell Jack is thinking about what to say and what to come up with.

"Are you okay? Did you really sleep with him?" He eventually asks.

"No and no. I'm neither okay nor did I sleep with him for that matter. How low do you think of me? I'm not a slut." I huff. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to call Jack. Now I feel even worse.

"You want me to come over?"

"Yes." I sob and hang up. Okay change of opinion: it was a good idea to call Jack. Who would have thought Jack would turn out to be my best friend, a friend for life.

Twenty minutes later my phone starts buzzing for a second. I throw the sheets away and hurry out of my room to answer the front door. All the lights are turned off, which means that Deb and Nate must have gone sleeping.

When I open the door, Jack is standing in front of me, giving me a weak smile. He has a bag with him and is holding a bottle of vodka into my face.

"Here. And I decided to bring some alcohol." He winks at me and steps inside.

"What's the bag for?" I whisper and point at the bag hanging from his shoulder.

"I'll be listening to your crying so I deserve to sleep at your place tonight. I'm not driving home in the middle of the night. And I'll be drunk." He raises an eyebrow before he shoves me to the side and walks upstairs.
