I put away a few of the fish decoration that had fallen down while Shanw mopped.
"Shawn?" I turned to him.
He lifted his head.
"Do you think Aspen is dating Jack?" I asked.
Shawn started laughing and kept mopping, "She doesnt accosiate with them anymore."
"What?" I tilted my head, "but she--"
"Is probably jealous, just brush it off." Shawn said.
I took a deep breath and nodded.
Before I knew it. My shift was over. I grabbed my bag and my phone. Shawn and I walked outside. He left in his car and I waited by the bench.
I waited about five minutes before a silver small car pulled up.
'Jack!' I thought.
I stood up and walked a few steps before a girl got out of the car.
"A-Aspen?" I was surprised and taken off guard.
"What the hell? Are you trying to date Jack?" Aspen hissed, "You know he's mine."
The word mine, coming out of her mouth, made me dig my nails into my palms so that I wouldn't completely go off at her.
"What? I-I don't understand.." I said confused.
She pulled out her phone furiously and showed a picture of Jack and I sharing the milkshake from earlier.
"Yeah. Paparazzi caught it." She was pissed.
"He's not your boyfriend, Aspen. You need to stop acting like he is." I felt myself loose control, "I'm sick and tired of it!"
She grinded her teeth together, "He loves me!"
"Aspen.." I tried to talk to her but she pulled away.
"He was mine!" She started to break down. I stepped closer and she paced to her car, "I'm blocking you out of my life. Stay. Away."
My heart was racing.
"Aspen!" I said right befoe she slapped the drivers side and drove away.
I fell to my knees and started crying.

Jack's P.O.V
"No funny business while she's here ok!?" Corbyn, our dad basically, scolded me as I put the keys in the car door and unlocked the car.
I got in, "Ok, Dad!" I laughed.
I turned on the car and drove to pick her up.
As I arrived she was on the sidewalk, crying on her knees.
I quickly parked the car and ran to her.
"Amora, are you ok? What happened?" I asked, getting on my knees.
"I-I ruined everything." She could barely speak as dhr was pouring tears like a teacup. I tried helping her up but she just, weakly, when straight back to the ground. I picked her up by her elbows and then wrapped my arms around her waist until she got to her feet. Then i helped her into the passengers side and I went to the drivers.
"Aspen...she hates me, because I'm with you guys." She softly said, in between cries.
"What? Thats stupid!" I said, protectively.
"I don't know what to do.." She said.
I had to make her laugh. I felt horrible.
I started messing up my hair.
"What are you doing, Jack?" She started to chuckle.
I made the most serious face i could with my hair probably looking like a side afro/mohawk. She started laughing.
Mission accomplished.
