Heartbreak [Jack Gilinsky]

V - Betrayal

I remember three years ago when I was thirteen and Jack G and I were driving home from school. Back then he was a freshman and I was still in middle school. It was around the end of the year and my brother couldn't pick me up early from school, so Jack came instead.

I remember I was crying silently, looking out the window.

"You know, Julia, no one is worth your tears." Jack had said after a while, breaking the silence. Before he had tried to crack a few jokes to lift my mood but it didn't work the way he hoped to.

"I'm not crying." I hiccupped, my breath uneven.

He breathed a laugh and I knew he turned to me. I couldn't help but turn to him as well, my eyes glossy and my cheeks puffy.

His hand reached out and he softly wiped away my tear stained cheeks.

"Jack," I had whispered breathlessly, leaning into his hand, and he hummed. "Eyes on the road."

"What?" He was looking at my lips.

"Eyes on the road!"

That day I had been crying because I stupidly told Carter I liked him in a really creepy pre-teen kind of way ad he turned me down. That was also the day Amber heard my confession and told the entire school, not only embarrassing me but also Carter.

Jack was the one who eventually managed to calm me down, his jokes working in the end. He had stopped by the store to buy me a box of ice cream and he stayed with me the entire day, watching stupid chick flicks with me.

Seeing her in my house, in the kitchen entrance with one of Jacks grey shirts coming to mid thigh was like a stab to the heart.

I was speechless, my mouth ajar as I just stared at her, millions of questions and assumptions coming to my head.

"What..." I whispered, not believing that she was actually standing there. "Did you?" I turned to Jack. "Did you guys..."

Jack was staring right at me. His eyebrows were furrowed together and his eyes were dark. But then his face relaxed, too calm for the situation and he looked away.

"Are you coming back to bed?" Amber spoke up and it took all of me not to launch myself at her.

"In a bit." Jack said, and I didn't know what else could happen that would hurt me even more.

They had sex. She spend the night. Amber and Jack. In my own house. I have never felt so betrayed in my entire life. I was aware Jack slept around with many girls, but Amber? He knew what she had done to me over the years. Sleeping with her was absolutely ridiculous.

"What the hell is that bitch doing here?!" Lexi yelled, getting up from her seat.

"Excuse me?" Amber said, hand on her hip.

"You heard me! What the fuck, Jack?" She continued, waving her hands around clearly angry.

"What?" Jack muttered, avoiding eye contact.

"Jack say something, she called me a bitch." Amber demanded in her annoying voice. It was even worse in the morning.

"Yeah Jack," I interjected. "Say something." My voice wasn't as harsh as I wanted it to be, but my stare was. His eyes held mine for a second, and he actually looked sorry. But it was gone as fast as it was there.

"Don't call her a bitch." He muttered, before turning and exiting the kitchen. It was like he punched me in the gut. Even Amber was surprised for a second before she grinned like the devil himself, going after Jack.

"I'll fucking kill him!" Lexi screamed almost running out of the kitchen but I was grasping her wrist, and her attention turned to me.

"You ok-- Whoa why are you crying oh my God, Lia."

Her arms instantly enveloped me in a hug, and I frowned. I had been crying? I hadn't even noticed. My hand went up to my cheek to find it wet and I quickly wiped them away.

"I'm not." I muttered, sniffing.

"I'm going to fucking murder that bastard what the hell is he thinking," Lexi continued with empty threats, her voice seriously pissed.

I pulled away. No one was worth my tears. Especially not Jack Gilinsky.

It had been an hour since Amber left, and four hours since the kitchen incident. I haven't said a word to Jack since and I wasn't planning to ever utter a word to him at all.

"But yeah after that Carter asked me if I wanted to go out with him, and I couldn't even speak. I just nodded and just ugh. I couldn't even believe it. I still don't, by the way."

I was laying on my stomach on my bed, scrolling down my tumblr feed while Lexi played with my hair while she tweeted from her phone.

"Well you should. I told you from the start that he liked you but you just wouldn't believe me." She said.

I rolled my eyes. If there was anything Lexi loved it was the I-told-you-so conversation.

"Well I still don't." I said matter-of-factly, before my mind went to how Jack was last night. How I had been so happy and how he just managed to ruin everything.

"Remember when you said my brother was practically dry humping one of Ambers slaves?" I asked and Lexi nodded. "Because Jack was doing the same thing but with Amber, looking at me the entire time."

Her hand ceased movement, her massage coming to a stop. "Are you serious?"

I nodded, turning to her confused expression.

"That is so weird, your brother did the exact same thing." She muttered, looking at the ceiling in thought. "Do you think Jack likes you?"

A weird dying cat-like snort left my lips. "Ha-ha very funny." I said sarcastically.

She turned to me, extremely serious expression on her face. "I'm serious. Why wouldn't he?"

I furrowed my brows. Did she fall down the stairs or something?

"Are you retarded? Did you not just see Amber in one of his shirts?" I said, stupefied. How could she think that? "If he liked me, or even so much as respected me he wouldn't have fucking done that." My anger started to come back. "I mean I know he's a jackass and that he sleeps around with every girl at our school, but Amber? Really?"

Lexi bit her lip, turning to the ceiling again.

"Point made." She muttered. "But do you like him?"

My brows furrowed in confusion and I turned to her to check if she had really had just asked that.

"What do you mean?"

She turned to me with her you-know-what-I-mean look and I sighed. Always Lexi with those stupid interrogative questions of hers.

"No, Lexi I do not like Jack. Never have never will. He's my brothers best friend and I won't ever see him as anything else than that." I said, spelling it out for her.

She hummed and eventually let it go, her nails going back to deliciously scraping my scalp and I put on a song.

"He is hot though." She said after a quiet while, and we laughed.

"He's alright."
