Café; Jack Avery

Chapter 12

Maggie's POV

I was walking to the cafe and start thinking, about what jack would want to talk about.

Did he break up with Sarah? Is he finally giving up on me? Does he still wanna be friends? Does he miss me as much as I miss him.

I continue walking until I finally reach the cafe.

I walk in and notice his curly hair.

I walk to the table he's sitting at and sit down

"I'm so sorry for not seeing Sarah as the true person she is. I'm also sorry for bringing up your past. I broke up with Sarah. I haven't been the same since you stopped talking to me. This past month I've been a complete mess worrying about if you were gunna forgive me or not" he says while looking into my plain brown eyes.

I hug him and say

"Of course I forgive you, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I didn't"

"I wont screw our friendship again" he says, ah the friend zone. Doesn't feel to good.

"Again I'm sorry" he says

"Stop saying sorry" I say while laughing a bit

"Okay okay" he says.

We order and eat our food.

"Oh um..I also moved back in with my mom" I say and jack almost spits out his food

"Why maggs?!" He asks obviously wondering why I would wanna live with her, but I can't blame him

"Well she is the one person who is legally my guardian. And until I turn eighteen I'm forced to live with her" I respond

"But there has to be another solution"

"There isn't this time, at least not until I turn eighteen. Then I'm finally free" I reply

"Can't arias parents file you a case?" He asks

"She told me she would but is up to me" I respond

"Why haven't you said yes"

"Because if my mom loses the case, where am I gunna live? They're gunna send me to a foster home, who may not even be in this state" I say while a tear somehow manages to slip down my  cheek. Jack holds my hand when he notices the tear

"Hey, we're gunna get through this together" he says with a small smile which causes me to smile back. It's something about his smile, I don't see it often but when I do it just brightens up my mood.

We leave the cafe and jack being the thoughtful person he is decides to walk me home.

We finally reach my house

"Don't worry, your not alone" he says and gives me a hug.

I walk inside and since my mom wasn't home I walked into my room upstairs and lay down.

Maybe one I'll be able to call him mine, but I really wouldn't want to ruin our friendship. He probably doesn't even feel the same way.

Even if he did, he just got out of a relationship.

But for now, I'm just broken inside.
