Average//Jack Avery

Caitlin's POV

"Do you love me?" I ask, looking straight into Jack's eyes.

"What of course I do," He replies instantly.

"Why did you kiss Aspen?"

"I told you, I was drunk and in the moment,"

"Jack, do you have any feelings towards Aspen what so ever?" I ask.

"I don't know,"

"Jack?"

"I DON'T KNOW CAITLIN!" He shouts.

"Jack it's a yes or no question, either you answer now or I'm leaving, and by leaving I mean going back across the country to Virginia," I reply.

"Fine you want the answer? I do I have feelings for Aspen, and you know what I'm glad I kissed Aspen, so go ahead run back to your little city in Virginia!" He yells.

"See, n-now was that s-so h-hard?" I say stuttering. I can't believe he actually said that.

I walk out the hotel room and back into mine. I knock on the door with tears streaming down my face. Corbyn opens the door and immediately engulfs me into a hug. We walk back to where Zach was on the couch. Zach stands up and asks,

"What happened?!"

"I asked him if he has feelings for Aspen, he said yes, he told me he was glad he did, and basically gave me "permission" to go back to Virginia, which doesn't seem like such a bad idea," I answer.

"What an a*sshole, what happened to him?" I ask.

"I don't know, but if you excuse me, I have to go pack and purchase a plane ticket," I say.

"Wait you're not seriously leaving are you?" Zach asks.

"I mean it's not like a have a place here, I was living at your house in a bed with Jack, I can't exactly go back, and I don't have the money to rent an apartment or buy a house," I reply.

"Cait, don't go, if you go then Aspen wins," Zach says.

"Well I guess she won, because I can't stay here,"

Then Jonah and Peyton come stumbling through the door. Peyton sees me and immediately stops smiling.

"What the hell happened?!" She asks.

"I'm leaving," I say.

"The hell you're not," she replies.

"Why not?"

"What about Jack?"

"IT'S DONE, WE'RE DONE, I'M DONE," I shout.

"I'm coming with then," Peyton says.

"No Pey, stay (BARS! I'm sorry you guys are having an emotional moment and I interrupted, continue) you have to," I say.

"I don't have to do anything, if that a*ss of a person makes you wanna go back, then I'm coming with you,"

"No you, need to stay with Jonah,"
