I slammed the door of Jack's room and later slammed mine behind me as I threw myself onto my bed in a mood.

"Yeah he didn't mean it but that doesn't change what happened, he hurt me, he went behind my back and got with her while I was waiting on his call, he kissed me and tried to do more after he'd been with her, thats disgusting"

I laid there for about 20 minutes, angry in my thoughts. *knock knock*

Me: Go away

*knock knock*

Me: Please go away... (My voice began to crack, I was tearing up)

I waited to hear another knock or someone walk away from the door but instead to door opened and Jack J walked in.

Me: I'm sorry.. (Fighting the tears).. I don't want to talk Jack.

Jack J: Okay..

Jack came and laid beside me, instead of forcing me to speak he let me have my time but kept me company, I do love him.

After about 10 minutes of silence I took a deep breathe and began to tell jack what happened, I figured he would be told anyway...

Jack J: Shit... So you are completely done, you're not going to try?

Me: I can't, our friendship was built on the flirtation, of course I would be able to be his friend but for the time being I need to keep my distance from him because I get too upset, and yes, anything remotely romantic I am completely done with

Jack didn't say anything just rubbed his eyes, and sighed, I could tell he was disaapointed in my reaction but there didn't seem to be another option for me at this point in time.

It was night time now and I was restless, the guys were all in Mahogany's room which was 2 doors down from mine, I could hear them, laughing, shouting, there was 10 or so people in there but I could still pick out Jack's laugh, it tore me up. I had told Jack J to tell them all I was ill and wanted some sleep, then again Jack G was supposedly ill and is still in there. Of course I wanted to be in there but not with him there.

I wasn't getting any sleep and the sound of them all made me upset, I needed to escape. I walked down to the hotel lobby, I was in an oversized jumper and shorts, I walked out of the hotel and around the grounds in my black and white converse, I felt like I was looking for something, I didn't know what though. Instead of walking I picked up my pennyboard and skated for a while, this hotel was lacking facilities, one in particular.

I had to find one, it was the only way to clear my mind right now. I skated out of the hotel ground and down the street.

Jack's pov

Everyone was so hyped up to be together again, we were all so energetic together we could barely keep quiet, but even with this room full of people who are my closest friends I still felt Lola's absence. It was my fault she wasn't here, I wanted to speak to her, I felt guilty.

I managed to sneak out of the room while they were playing truth or dare for someone's youtube channel and I went into mine and Jack's room, it was sneaky I know but I knew Lola had given Jack J her extra room key since Jc wasn't here. It was wrong but I took it and opened the door, I was bracing myself for things being thrown at me or the sight of a sleeping Lola making my heart hurt but instead there was nothing.

Actually nothing no sound or anything. I walked further into the room to see she wasn't there, her room was empty but it was two in the morning, where could she be. I stayed there for a while just standing, trying to listen out for any sign of her, there was nothing for a few minutes but then I heard a noise from outside her window, I looked to see a small figure skate out of the hotel gate down the street, it was Lola.

I went back into mine and Jack's room and grabbed my pennyboard and a basketball, if I knew Lola I knew she had gone to find a court, she always loved to play on tour, especially at night.

I made my way down the street in the direction Lola went, sure enough after a couple blocks I found a court where I found a Lola. she hadn't seen me yet, I watched her for a few moments, my heart sank as I did.

She was sat against the fence, legs up arms crossed ontop and her face buried into herself, just the way she was sitting you could tell she was sad and I was the one to blame. As I opened the court gate the crash of thin metal made Lola's head rise, when she locked into me I could tell she didn't want me here, even on the other side of the court so felt unwelcome but I had to try.

She stared at me as I slowly approached, as I got closer I realised I didn't even know what to say, I pushed my pennyboard so it gentlely bumped into the space beside her, she didn't divert her vision from me, I began bouncing the ball, only about 5 metres away from her, she was sat behind the hoop, I took a shot and it missed, it bounced and eventually rolled to be infront of Lola's feet, she still stared, emotionless, as I moved I saw the light catch in her cheeks, they were wet, I had made her cry.

Lola's pov

He walked towards me to get the ball, should I let him come and get it so I could punch him in the face or should I kick it away so he doesn't come near me, either way I'd be socailsing with him, I wanted to keep my distance...

He was only inches from picking up the ball when I lightly tapped it to move away from me, he frowned at me, I broke my stare by looking at the ground.

Me: Can you leave? I want to keep my distance from you (quietly)

Jack G: Seriously? Lola you know I can't do that, you're my frien-

Me: Friends don't do that to their friends, so please... Jack please leave

He sat so he was at eye level with me, I could feel how his attention was heavy on the top or my head, I continued to look at the ground.

Jack: No, Lola I'm going to make this work, I'll make it better

Me: How? I don't see a way out of this Jack
