Jack POV

I sat in my old bedroom with Isla just thinking. She was playing with my hair and saying something but I wasn't listening. I was thinking about Grayson. I really messed up. Anna still didn't know what was going on and I was surprised Daniel didn't tell her. I broke up with her yesterday. I didn't really give her an explanation as to why either. I just sort of ended it. I really needed to fix things with Grayson. Not talking to her made me realize how miserable I was. I didn't have that same type of connection with anybody except her.

"Are you even listening to me?" Isla asked with her hands on her hips.

"No I'm sorry cutie, say it again"

"I said Ava told me she'd get me ice cream but she never did"

"Ohhh, well what about I take you for ice cream right now?" I asked which caused Isla to immediately jump up and smile. She hugged me then dragged me off the bed. We slipped on our shoes and let our mom know we were leaving. "Do you want anything?" I asked my mom and sisters. They answered no and Isla and I got in the car. I took a quick picture of us and put it on my story. "Ice cream date with this cutie"

We got to the ice cream place and I opened the door for Isla. We got in line to order and thought about what we wanted. "Can I have sprinkles on mine?" Isla asked looking up.

"Of course" I answered. I had been checking my phone every few minutes in hopes that Grayson had texted. She hadn't.

When we got to the front of the line we ordered. "Can I have two scoops of the chocolate ice cream in a cone with sprinkles and one scoop of strawberry please" I asked the cashier and she grinned at me. I handed her a $10 and started to walk away so we could wait for our ice cream. We waited a few minutes and she handed them to me over the counter. There was a napkin wrapped around each. I handed Isla hers and we sat down.

"There's something on your napkin" Isla pointed out. I turned it over to see a phone number with the name Lexi under it. I looked at it for a second before shrugging. "It was her number but I've already got a girlfriend" I told Isla. Her eyes lit up in excitement.

"Really? Can I meet her?"

"She's in California and we're kind of in a fight right now but I'm going to make it up to her"

"Did you do something stupid?"

"Yeah"

"Sounds like you" she giggled

"Isla!" I said and reached out my arm to tickle her.

"I'm just joking" she laughed as I ticked her from across the table. People were staring at us but I didn't mind. It felt great to spend time with her again.
