It's been about a week since Jack stormed out of my apartment.. I've tried calling him, texting him, going to his house. He won't answer me at all.
I haven't been to work either. I've been too emotional. But today, that's gonna change. I'm going to work and I'm going to stay professional and then make Jack talk to me.
I arrived at work and got in the elevator to go up to my level. Each second I could feel my heart beat faster and faster. My stomach was twisting and my palms were sweaty.
The elevator dinged indicating I was on the correct floor. I walked out and ignored everyone's wide eyes in my direction. I'm just gonna go to my dressing room and see what outfits they have for me. I by pass all of my friends and go straight to my dressing room which is locked?.. what the hell.
I take out the spare key Mayra gave me and tried to put it in but it didn't fit. Is this the right one? I step back and sure enough it is. I try putting the key in again and my eyes begin to tear up in frustration.
"Jaide." I hear Mayra say from behind me. I sigh and turn around. "What're you doing here?" She asks and I grow confused.
"What do you mean? I work here." I say with my eyebrows furrowed. She purses her lips in a thin line and shakes her head.
"I'm sorry but if I remember correctly, you quit." She says and my mouth drops.
"No I didn't! Who told you that?" I ask in shock.
"Jack came in last week and said that you resigned and didn't want to work here anymore. I was confused but I let it go and we already bumped Corrine to the new girl for the cover." She informs me and I squeeze my fists as the tears start coming out.
"I didn't quit," I say in frustration.
"I'm sorry Jaide, there's nothing I can do now. I'm gonna have to ask you to please leave. This is for employees only." She says and I blink away the tears, angrily nodding my head. "And I need your key." She motions to my now white knuckles. I look down at it and rip it off of my keychain before handing it to her.
"Can I say bye to everyone?" I ask and she slowly nods before walking back to her office.
I go to where all of the girls were and hug all of them.
"It's gonna be okay Jaide." Kelsey rubs my back and I start crying more.
The girls all form a group hug and I just cry. Why is everything bad happening to me?
"Hey Corrine, you ready for the shoot?" I hear a familiar voice. I look up and his eyes widen. I stand up and the girls let go of me as I walk towards him.
"What the fuck Jack!! First you don't even let me explain, then you MAKE ME LOSE MY FUCKING JOB!!" I yell and push him but he barely moves.
"I didn't need an explanation, I saw what was going on!" He snaps back.
"Clearly! Did you know he called and I was rude to him? Did you know he acknowledged we were together and didn't want to mess it up? Did you know that I allowed him to come over so we could both get closure and move on? I BET YOU DID RIGHT JACK?" I cried as his eyes soften.
"Jaide, I didn't know-"
"Because you didn't listen!!! Instead you ignore me for a week and tell my boss I quit! I fucking hate you!" I yell through my tears and run out. I can't believe him right now..
I'm beyond hurt with him at this point. If you really love someone, you'll hear them out. That thought stayed in my head for a good 10 minutes before I took my phone out and dialed their number.
"Hello?" He asked confused.
"Come over, I'll hear you out." I say and hang up before wiping my tears.
It felt wrong but in that moment I didn't even care. The only thought in my head was :
If you really love someone, you'll hear them out....
