Holding Back

Chapter 12

Chapter 12

I finally make it next door with some shorts and a long sleeved fitted shorts.

I quietly enter their room and slide into the room. Everyone is laughing and talking and I sit on the bed next to them.

"And this is our friend Quinn!" Mahogany says looking at me with a smile.

I shake my head no but she grabs me and sits me infront of the computer.

"Hi everyone." I say and smile. I look and see a bunch of comments I barely even had time to read them because more and more kept getting added each second.

"I love you Maria and Hannah." Johnson said.

"Happy birthday Audrey." Everyone said in unison.

I finally caught on to what was happening they were saying that because the girls asked them to.

I just watched and laughed and we stayed on for like 40 minutes. And Jack finally turned it off.

"Hey we are gonna grab some snacks to bring up." Johnson said and Jack and Sam followed out of the room.

Mahogany pulled in her earphones and started blasting music through them.

It's was just me and Leigh.

"So how are you and Jack going?" Leigh asks. I was about to answer but she cut me off. "Oh and where did you go last night?"

"Oh um I went to go swim." I answer.

"Wow... I didn't hear you come back in."

"I did."

"So... Do you like Jack?" She asks again.

I couldn't help but smile. "I don't know... I mean a little bit I guess."

"Well he's graduating this year... So there's kinda no point ya know? I mean he's gonna be gone for years when he goes to college... I'm just saying, since your a sophomore... You won't see him and you should avoid having your heart broken because it's not a good feeling." She explains

As much as I hate to admit it, she was right. I only have a couple months with him, It would just be better if we stay friends.

I look down at my hands trying to say something but I couldn't.

Then The boys walk back in the room with some drinks and candy and little snacks.

I see Leigh get up and wrap her arms around Jack and hugs him. I look away. I felt so helpless.

"You want some?" Sam asks.

I completely ignore his question and get up and rush out of the room. I just needed to be alone or something.

I rush to the stair case down the hall and open it. I just sit on the steps and cover my face. I knew no one would come through here.

I let out a loud weep as tears fell from my face.

"Quinn?" It was Jack but I didn't even turn around. He closed the door. To the staircase and say next to me and wrapped his arm around me. "What's wrong Quinn." He asked.

"What's the point?" I asked. There was a silence, he was confused. "What's even the point of us even liking eachother? If-if you're just gonna leave me by the summer time?"

"What? What are you talking about Quinn?" He asks.

"You're graduating."

"So... Why is all this popping into your head now?"

"Because!" I yell. Standing up.

"Because what?" He says standing up as well and towering over me.

I calm down and loose eye contact. "I guess Leigh sorta reminded me about you leaving and it sucks."

"Don't listen to that... Just think about now. Worry about now. Focus on us now." He said and lifted me up in his arms and I wrapped legs around his torso.

And wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around my waist.

He kissed me. He kissed me so passionately. I wanted this so bad but I pulled away.

He let me down "what's wrong?" He asks.

"Me and Sam kissed." I told him.

He looked hurt and confused. "Why?" Was all he said.

"I didn't kiss him... He kissed me. And I-I-I" I studdered.

"Talk." He said in frustration.

"I didn't- I didn't want him to his me." I said.

"If you didn't want him to you could have said no."

"Yeah but."

"Yeah but nothing..." He looked so hurt and walked out.

"Jack I'm sorry." I said walking up behind him.

He ran his hand through his hair. "Jack you know that I don't want him. He kissed me!" I still try to plead my case.

He didn't even say anything. I came in and pressed my lips against his. I walk him against the wall. He glides his lips against mine and broke apart.

"I forgive you." He whispered as his lips hovered over mine.

He wrapped his arms tight around my waist.

"I want to be alone with you..." I said and pressed my lips against his lips again.

"I wanna take you out. On a date or something. Tonight." He said after pulling away. He had the cutest smirk.

"I would be so very happy with that." I said.

Eventually we walk back into the room and Jack told me to be ready by 6:00pm.

I was ready to go and I was excited. I couldnt help but be totally stunned by the fact that Jack forgave me.

I didn't dress up or anything. And I waited on my bed.

My first date would be with Jack.
