I woke up around 12:30 in the afternoon, but I didn't get dressed or anything. I was currently wearing a white tank top with gray sweatpants on. I only put on some mascara and did my eyebrows. I grabbed my phone and went to the living room. I turned on Netflix and started watching Pretty Little Liars. I had watched a few episodes before there was a knock on my front door. I paused the show and got up. I opened the door and saw Jack standing there. Before I could even react, he grabbed me by my waist and pulled me as close to him a possible. He crashed his lips into mine. I hesitated at first, but I knew I couldn't resist. I kissed him back. We stood there for a few seconds. Then he pulled away. I backed away from him, so we weren't touching anymore.

"Please just let me talk," Jack begged.

"Fine," I said.

"I'm really sorry about everything. I don't know what was wrong with me. I regret everything that I did. If I could start over, I would. I really messed up," he started.

"Yeah, no kidding," I said.

"What I realized is that I miss you. You've been my best friend for so long, and I've always had feelings for you. When we started dating, you were actually mine, and I was so happy. Then Aspen came along and pressured me into doing things that were wrong, and I wish I had never gone along with what she was telling me. This is all my fault. You didn't do anything wrong. It was me who screwed up," he continued. "And I'm really sorry. Just please forgive me. I want you to be mine again."

I didn't know what to say. I still had feelings for him, but how did I know he wasn't going to cheat again? After all, I did just catch him with that other girl. Then again, he deserved a second chance at this. He stared at me, waiting for an answer. I smiled.

"I forgive you," I nodded.

"So, will you be my girlfriend again?" he asked.

"Yes," I nodded.

He walked up to me and grabbed my waist before kissing me. We pulled away, and we were both smiling.

"I did mean it when I told you that I loved you, by the way," he said.

I hugged him.

"I missed this," I whispered.

"Me too," he whispered back.

We walked over to the couch and sat down together. He pulled me closer as I resumed Pretty Little Liars.

"Oh, we might want to tell the fans that everything is okay between us," he said.

"Yeah, that'd be nice," I smiled.

"We should make this look professional," he suggested.

"How?" I laughed.

He stood up and pulled me up with him. He set his phone up on the table and put it on a timer for 3 seconds. He moved back to where our whole bodies were in the frame. Then he ran up to press the timer and ran back to me. 3. He grabbed me by my waist and pulled me close to him. 2. Then our lips met as my arms wrapped around his neck. 1. He continued to kiss me even after the picture was taken.

"Jack," I laughed.

He kissed me once more before walking back to his phone and grabbing it. We sat back on the couch how we were previously. I watched as he edited the picture a little bit to make the lighting and everything better so it looked good. Once he did that, he went to his Instagram to post it. He captioned it: I love you, baby. Then he posted it on his other social media accounts as well. I liked it. Then my phone started blowing up with notifications. I ignored it and just cuddled up to Jack.

"I love you," he looked down at me.

"I love you, too," I smiled.

He leaned down a connected our lips. We pulled away and were both smiling. This is what I had missed while we weren't talking. We spent the rest of the day watching Netflix. Around 6:45, I got a text from Val.

Val: Hey. Do you have any clue where Jack is?
Me: Actually, yes.
Val: Would you care to tell me?
Me: You haven't checked social media today, have you?
Val: No. I've been recording music, and I recorded a video for YouTube that I'm currently editing.
Me: Oh, well, Jack showed up at my house, and we are together again.
Val: Oh my god! Are you serious?!
Me: Yeah. Isn't that great?
Val: That's amazing! As long as you're happy.
Me: Thanks, V.
Val: Anytime. Well, I'll leave you alone so you can be with your man.
Me: Yeah, yeah. Text me later.
Val: I will.

I set my phone back on the table.

"Who were you texting?" Jack asked.

"Val was just asking where you were," I replied.

"Oh, yeah, I didn't tell them I was coming over in case things didn't work out," he told me.

"Yeah, that makes sense," I nodded.

"But I'm glad things did work out," he grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers.

"Me too," I smiled.

He pulled me closer, and we just enjoyed the time we had together. I really did miss this. I'm glad things were back to normal.
