Café; Jack Avery

Chapter 36

Maggie's POV
I wake up and shower, I then change into a baby blue off the shoulder top and white ripped jeans. I put on my vans and walk out to get breakfast with Caleb.

I walk to ihop which wasn't far from my apartment.

I got there and saw Caleb sitting there with a girl.

I walk over there and sit down

"Hey" I say

"Hey" he replies

"This is Emily my girlfriend" he says with a smile

"Emily this is Maggie my younger sister" he says

"Nice to meet you" I say.

We order our food and a while later it finally comes.

Emily's really nice turns out we have a lot in common.

Maybe we'll become friends.

"Shit" I mumble remembering that I was supposed to help Daniel with something

"I have to go but it was nice meeting you" I say and order an Uber.

It arrives a while later and I soon arrive to the  guys house

"Sorry I'm late" I say breathlessly and barge into the house

"It's okay" Daniel says laughing

"Okay so what did you need help with" I ask trying to remember

"Just packing some boxes with stuff I don't really need anymore" He says

"Okay" I say and we head upstairs to his room.

We start putting stuff in the boxes and taping them closed. We continue packing until Daniel says

"Okay that was it"

"Okay I know for a fact you didn't make me come all the way over here just to help you pack two boxes" I say and a smile appears on his face

"Okay you caught me" Daniel says laughing a bit

"So why did you really call me here" I say anxiously wanting to know why

"GUYS" Daniel yells and then the guys come into the room except jack

"So you spend most of the here in our house and we're basically like family. Do you wanna move in?" Zach asks

"Hmmmm I don't know let me think" I say sarcastically with a smile

"Of course" I say and hug them

"We were hoping you'd say that" Daniel says with a smile

"You guys wanna help me pack something's" I ask and they all nod their heads.

We take an Uber back to my apartment and pack up most of the things. And head back to their house.

I start unpacking the boxes in the guest room which I guess is now my room.

I unpack things and hang up some lights.

I finished unpacking when I realize that there's still one box about the size of a shoe box I brought with me that I haven't unpacked.

I open the box and see it filled with Polaroids of me and jack. I also see movie tickets from what I'm guessing are the times we went together.

I look at the Polaroids and a million memories flash through my head.

I can't move on if a piece of me is still holding on to these memories. I don't need them anymore, never knew why I kept them so safe in this box.

I close the box and walk downstairs with it in my hands.

"Where'd you leave your old boxes?" I ask daniel

"I left them in the front yard, usually the trash truck picks them up" he says and I nod

"What's in the box?" He asks with curiosity

"What? Uhm you know just old stuff" I reply with a reassuring smile

"Okay I'll be upstairs if you need me" he says and walks upstairs

"You need to tell them today" Zach says

"I know I will" I say and walk outside.

I walk to where Daniels boxes where and hesitantly place the box with all my memories of jack down.

I start walking away knowing that if i stayed longer, I would want to pick it up and take it back to my room.

I walk back in and into my room upstairs. I change into my sweats and a tank top.

Should I just tell them tomorrow morning?

Jacks POV
"See you tomorrow morning?" Aria ask me with a smile and I nod hesitantly

"Your not still thinking about Maggie are you?" She asks me

"No" I lie

"Okay see you tomorrow babe" she says and walks into her apartment.

I drive back home and see a whole bunch of boxes outside.

I open the one on top and see it's all the Polaroids of me and Maggie.

My eyes started forming tears.

It hurts knowing this box with all the memories of me and her were left out here meant to be thrown out.

I wanted to walk into the house and act like nothing happened, I knew that's what I was supposed to do.

But a part of me knew I couldn't just leave the box here.

I pick up the box and walk inside

"What are you doing with Maggie's box?" I hear Daniel says and I turn to look him

"This is my box" I lie, I'm guessing Maggie hasn't told them yet

"I uh helped aria collect some memories of me and her" I lie again, I didn't want to lie but if Maggie hasn't told them yet. I'm guessing she's just not ready

"Okay then" he says and walks into the kitchen.

I walk upstairs into my room and place the box on my bed. I opened it and looked at the Polaroids, wishing I could go back to those nights.
