CHAPTER 13
Marina's POV
When I get back from Imogen's, I go to my room and lie down, thinking about everything that's happened.
I keep telling myself that I still love Caleb, and I thought it still might be true.. But that's only because we were together for a really long time. I thought we would be together forever and I had my heart set on it. But at the same time, I can't lose Jack. Everything just feels right with Jack, and kissing Caleb definitely proved my point. It felt wrong and forced. I couldn't help but feel disgusted with myself after it happened. I still feel horrible about it.
I think back to the phone call I had with Jack earlier, and his response.
"I talked to Caleb" I told him as soon as he picked up.
"How'd that go?" He asked, as if he was expecting good news. He was in for a shock.
"We kissed." I blurted, wanting to get it over with. I couldn't take it anymore.
Silence.
"Jack?" I asked, frightened for my life. I screwed everything up already.
No answer. I check my phone to see if he's still there, and sure enough, he is.
"Jack. I felt really bad after it happened okay? It was wrong. I just called Caleb and ended everything with him, for good this time. It's not going to happen again, and I will never talk to him again, I can promise you that." I plead. I didn't want him to be angry with me.
After another long silence, I heard a faint "I trust you" from Jack, and then he told me he had to go and he'd talk to me later.
Even though he had taken it a lot better than I expected, I couldn't help but still worry. How would everything be from now on? Would it be the same, or would everything change?
I stayed up all night, not being able to sleep, stressed. I didn't receive a single text from Jack, which bothered me. I could only hope that everything would turn out ok.
School the next morning was quite awful. I didn't even attempt to do anything with myself, wearing no makeup, sweatpants and putting my hair in a messy bun.
Imogen told me all day that everything was going to be okay and that I needed to stop worrying about it. But I was convinced otherwise. Jack didn't seem too happy yesterday and it's too early to screw anything up.
After school was finally over, I made my way to Imogen's car.
"We're going to go get some ice cream." She tells me.
"Why? Why can't we just go home?" I ask getting slightly aggravated. I just wanted to go home and sleep my problems away. I'm pretty sure she was aware of it too.
"You deserve it Marina. You've had a rough day. We all deserve ice cream on days like this." She defends herself. She's partially right. Ice cream does sound nice right now.
I nod my head in agreement and pull out my phone. Still no texts from Jack. I have truly messed up. I sigh and just stare out the window until we arrive at Dairy Queen.
I get out of the car and order a dilly bar, Imogen doing the same. We sit down, both of us quiet for a few minutes until Imogen breaks the silence.
"Heard from Jack at all today?"
"Nope." I state. It's not really the time to talk about this.
"Everything's gonna be okay, Marina." She assures me again.
"You don't know that." I snap. "I'm tired of hearing that. I've heard that all day."
Imogen just sighs as she finishes her dilly bar. "If only you knew." She mutters and I'm confused but I ignore it. She gets a text and I watch her face light up. It's probably Sam.
