He loves me; He loves me not *Currently Editing*

Chapter 51

I look around at the party. You can tell that a number of people have left, but there's still plenty.

"Emma!" Alisha calls out to me, & I notice she's with her boyfriend Rob.

"Alisha!" I grin as Catherine & I make our way to our friend.

"What happened to you & Jack? Break up again already?" Alisha asks, & Rob looks at me curious. He's buds with Jack.

"Yeah we're so done."

"What happened?" Catherine asks me. Before I can answer, Rob walks away. We all look curiously to see where he's headed. I feel my heart stop as I see his destination. Jack just walked in.

I see them talk to each other for a minute, Jack kept glaring my way at times. Then, they both head in our direction.

"Aw, are we really over?" Jack stares into my eyes. I look away before his eyes shout lies to me again.

"If that wasn't obvious."

"Do y'all wanna go upstairs to talk this out?" Rob asks. I walk away to the couch instead. I have to wonder if Rob is secretly Jack's partner in crime. I rub my eyes, tired. I just want to go to sleep. Instead, I go upstairs to the bathroom & lock the door. Smiling, I go to the bath tub to get a bit of sleep.

I wake up to hear a knock on the door. It's only been 10 minutes, but that'll have to do. I leave the bathroom so others can use it. Going down the stairs, I look around to see where everbody's at. Alisha & Rob are on the couch, Catherine & Danny are dancing. But where's Jack?

I peek in the kitchen to see his back. Ok, he's here. I go to the front door to get some fresh air, thinking that Jack won't know i'm out here. I sit down in the grass, since it appears nobody else is out here, & I let out a big yawn. My eyes flutter a couple of times. Refusing to fall asleep out in the open, I get up again to go to the kitchen to get a soda.

Peeking in, nobody is in here. I grin as I go to the fridge, grabbing the 1st can I see, too tired to notice that it's actually a beer. I sit down on the counter as I take a sip.

"What the fuck..." I mumble, tasting the cold beer on my tongue. Shrugging it off, I take another sip.

"Here's to being an idiot!" I put my can in the air, making a toast with no one. I take a long sip then set the beer down & lean against the fridge, still sitting on the counter. I let my eyes close.

"Ow!" I shrek as I lie on my face on the floor. I roll to my back moaning.

"You ok?" Catherine asks as she walks in. I notice she's trying not to laugh seeing me on the floor.

"I fell asleep on the counter & fell," I explain while rubbing my eyes.

She helps me up & into the living room then up the stairs. Finally she sets me on the master bedroom's bed.

"Get some rest," she says as she leaves.

"I can't be here," I mumble, getting up. I know it's a matter of time til Jack shows up, looking smug because he'll finally win. I slowly make my way to the door to lock it. I grin as I walk back to the bed. Maybe victory is mine. I allow myself to drift off, thinking of Jack. He loves me, no, he loves me not.
