i was sat at a large table, surrounded by several middle aged people, including my mother and her ditsy friends, and i was bored out of my mind.

luke was somewhere around, charming the ladies, probably.

i was, however, very uncomfortable, as at the next table over sat a man i was not eager to see.

i decided to quickly go to the bathroom, as an excuse to leave the room and go on my phone for a bit.

i walked out of the room, making my way to the toilets. i pulled out my phone to see several messages from jayden, making me smile.

jayden - i miss youuuuuuu

jayden - hope you're having fun even though i know it probably sucks ass

jayden - also can i stay the weekend with you? because you love me ;)

ruby - of course you can!

jayden - great xxx

i heard a knock on the door, making my brows furrow in confusion. i walked over and hesitantly opened the door. i frowned.

"what do you want?"

"isn't it obvious?"

i rolled my eyes. "jack, you need to stop. i'm with jayden. whatever we had is over."

"and yet, in the bathroom just the other day-"

"don't you dare bring that up." i snapped. "it was a mistake."

"call it what you want."

he gazed around the room.

"friendly reminder; we are in another bathroom. did you want to continue-"

"shut the hell up!" i scowled.

he shrugged.

"why are you being such a prick? why can't you let me be happy?" i asked softly, tears beginning to prickle in my eyes.

he frowned. i gasped as he pinned me against the wall, his hands on my shoulders and his face incredibly close to mine.

"what about my happiness, huh?" he snarled. "don't i deserve to be happy?"

"y-yes, but-"

"you know when i was happy? when i was with you." he stated angrily. "you made me so fucking happy, all the damn time. no matter how shitty things were with helen, just knowing i had you made everything better."

"i-i-i..."

"and now here you are, asking me why you can't be happy?" he snapped.

tears were brimming in my eyes.

"i-i'm sorry."

he sighed, releasing his grip on me. "goddammit. i don't want to hurt you; i can't."

my eyes widened.

"you're making this really hard for me, you know that?" i mumbled.

he sunk to the floor, head in his hands.

"jack, what happened to never seeing each other again?" i asked quietly. "it makes life so much more difficult when i see you. my feelings resurrect and everything i feel for jayden goes out the window."

his head lifted up and he looked at me, his eyes shining with hope.

"really?"

i sat down on the floor next to him.

"why'd you smash my window last night?" i questioned softly.

he sighed. "i have no idea. i guess i just wanted to remind you of what we had. and scare jayden a little too, i guess."

i leant my head on his shoulder.

"dammit, gilinsky." i whispered. "why do you have to make things so difficult?"

"i thought it would be easier for you." he muttered. "i thought i was the clear choice."

i sighed. "so did i. but now i have no idea."

we sat in silence for a few minutes.

"you really like jayden, huh?"

"i do." i replied softly.

more silence. 

"look..." he sighed. "if you really want me to leave you alone, forever, then i will. you just have to say it."

i gulped.

"i need to hear you say it, so i know you mean it." he continued.

i shook my head.

"i-i can't." i managed to say.

his eyes lit up.

"but, we can't do... this." she gestured between us. "i can't do that to jayden; it would break his heart."

he scowled.

"what about my heart, huh?" jack snapped. "why don't you think about me for a change? my marriage is ruined because of you!"

i frowned. "don't say that. it was fucked before i came into the picture; you told me!"

he rolled his eyes. "whatever."

i sighed.

he stood up and stormed out of the room, leaving me sat on the bathroom floor, tears welling up in my eyes.

prick.
