Jack's POV

She just stood there as if we've never met before. I step a couple spaces closer to her. She backs up. I step forward again, and she backs up and her back hits the wall.

"Jack stop," She says with a scared look on her face.

She's scared of me, I did this. I'm supposed to be the one who protects her from getting hurt, but I can't even do that because she doesn't even want to be near me.

"I'll be back," I say and rush out the door past Caitlin.

I go through the back door and just sit down on the steps. All I can do is cry 

Caitlin's POV

I let out a sigh as Jack leaves the room.

"What just happened?" Corbyn asks.

None of the guys knew except for Daniel of course. I look over at Daniel with a "what do I do" look. He gestured towards the guys as if saying "tell them". I take a deep breath,

"He cheated on me," and with that I exhaled.

"What?" Jonah asks.

"I don't believe that," Corbyn says.

"I mean you guys can believe what you want I guess," I say looking down.

"That's not what I meant, I meant like... that just doesn't sound like our Jack," Corbyn says.

"I mean in a way it wasn't, it was drunk Jack," I say.

Daniel turns towards me.

"That does not make it any less wrong, and why are you trying to defend him," he says as his voice raises a little. Lili puts her hand on Daniel's arm and gives him a "calm down" glare.

"Sorry," He says.

"It's fine," I reply.

"Wait who did he even cheat on you with?" Zach asks.

"I don't really think I should say, I don't want to ruin that persons reputation with you guys," I say.

"I feel no sympathy at all it was Aspen," Peyton says letting go of Jonah.

Zach then stormed out of the room.

We all follow him to wherever he's going. He finally stops in front of Aspen who's sitting in the lobby of the venue.

"ASPEN WHAT THE HELL?" Zach shouts at her.

"What are you talking about Zach?" She asks batting her eyelashes.

"WHY WOULD YOU KISS JACK?" He asks.

"What? I would never," She replies.

"Oh don't play dumb, we know everything," Corbyn says.

Aspen then looks at me, and let me just say if looks could kill I would've been brutally murdered.

"How could you Aspen we thought you were better than that," Zach say.

"I don't think you should continue tour with us," Zach finishes.

"You, you did this, this is all your fault, all the guys hate me," Aspen says while pointing at me.

"This is not my fault, I'm not the one who went out got drunk, took advantage of someone and kissed them, all you are is some stupid princess who thinks she is higher than everyone else," I say.

"Oh shut up, you're just jealous because I won," She says.

"What did you win? Jack? An award? If this is a game then I don't wanna play anymore!" I say and walk off.

(Low key got part of that scene from HSM 2)

I walked away and straight out the back door, only to be stopped by Jack. He just sat there on the steps crying. Why do I feel bad for him he hurt me. But even though he hurt me all I want to do is talk to him, kiss him, hug him, comfort him. But I just can't, things are different now.

By now Jack turns around and sees me standing behind him. His eyes are puffy and red.

"Caitlin?" He asks.

"Yes?" I reply

"I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry for what I did," He says.

"Why?" I ask.

"Why what?"

"Why did you do it? Am I not pretty enough? Did I bore you? Did you get tired of me that fast?"

"No, no that's not it at all,"

"Then what is it?! What did I do that made you go out and kiss someone else? Huh! Because for the past two weeks that's all I thought about. For the past weeks all I thought about was "does he still love me?" "Did he even love me to begin with?""

"Of course I loved you, I still love you now, fu*ck I think I'm IN love with you. You didn't do anything, I never planned on doing anything that night, hell I didn't even plan on drinking. But I guess I did and I swear to god Caitlin I didn't mean to. Yes I kissed back, yes I didn't push her off right away, but I promise it didn't mean anything, it wasn't me, I was drunk. Drunk me was attracted to Aspen,"

"Drunk actions are sober thoughts. I'm sorry Jack, but sort isn't good enough right now," I start to walk past him down the steps and he grabs my wrist.

"Wait,"

"What Jack,"

"I just need to know one thing, do you still love me?"

"Of course I still love you, I'm just not sure if I'm in love with you right now,"
