"Ahh, Jaide nice of you to show up to your job." Mayra said as I walked into the room. Yeah, she's pissed. After me and Jack's date on Sunday I completely shut everyone out and I don't even know why. Jack didn't do anything wrong, I guess I just got a second wave of emotions that made me wanna die in a hole. I stayed home a few more days and didn't even call in sick. Today is Thursday, exactly a week since Valentines Day.
"I'm sorry I just wasn't in the mood and" I began to try to explain.
"Wasn't in the mood? Jaide who the hell is ever in the mood for work?! If we weren't so far into the magazine, you would be losing your spot on the cover!" She shouts at me and I wince. Heartless bitch didn't even ask if I was okay.
"I know." I say quietly.
"Just go to your fucking dressing room!" She curses and my eyes begin to water. I should've stayed in bed. I bypass all my friends who are looking at me with sympathy and make eye contact with Jack. He looks so sad.
I probably look so pathetic.

The day at work is finally over and I'm the last one here. The only smile I've had was fake for the cameras and the only time I talked was when the photographer yelled at me and I mumbled a "sorry". Aside from that, I've just nodded my head at everyone.
As I'm walking out of my dressing room I walk straight into a hard chest. I look up and notice that Jack had been waiting for me. I don't know why but I try to walk around him.
"Jaide, did I do something?" He asks as he pulls me back to him by grabbing my wrist. I look down. Did he? No.
I shake my head no.
"Then why are you ignoring me? I thought we had an amazing time. Did you change your mind about me?" His voice is quiet and hurt. I immediately look up at him and shake my head.
"No of course not. Jack I care for you so so much. I had an amazing time. I guess- I guess I'm just afraid to trust anyone." I say in shame.
"Jaide.. I would NEVER hurt you. Ever. You mean way too much to me to lose you. I don't want you ever thinking that I would do something to fuck what we have up. It hasn't even really started yet" he chuckles making me crack a smile as a tear runs down my cheek. He swipes it away. "Jaide I love you, so much. I promise I would never hurt you." He smiles down at me.
"Jack, I-" do I love him? Fuck.. do I love jack? I need an answer right now. Do I or do I not love him. Well, I like him a lot. Like a lot. And I see myself being with him for a long time.. but do I actually love him? After standing there contemplating whether or not I love him back he sighs.
"Too soon huh." He says before beginning to walk away. Oh hell no. I am not about to let the man I love walk away from me- wait. The man I love? Yeah, the man I love.
I squeeze his wrist and pull him back as he did to me just moments ago, but this time, no words come out of my mouth. It'd be kinda hard to talk while my mouth is on his.
Our lips move in sync for a good minute and a half before I pull away out of breath.
