Chapter 11

(A few weeks later, passed Thanksgiving and Jacks Birthday which was November 11 as it is now November 29th)

Jack's P.O.V

I made it through school and I waited for Kayla to get out. I waited another 5 minutes.

From: Bae 😍 (I changed it)

I'll meet you at ur house. Teacher keeping me in for a little

To: Bae 😍

Ok I love you

I like being able to say I love you so I make sure to say it whenever I can.

I start walking to my house, no reply from Kayla.

I get to my house and immediately just take my shoes and shirt off. I sit on the couch and watch music videos on OnDemand.

After about 10 minutes I hear a knock at the door.

I get up and open the door to Kayla.

"Hey babe" I smile and she returns a small smile.

I scrunch my eyebrows together, open the door wider and let her in.

She walks passed me and I close the door instantly. I follow her into the living room where she sits on the couch.

I sit next to her, wrapping my arm around her but she scoots away. I look at her confused and turned the TV off.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"We can't be together anymore" she says looking at the ground more than me.

"What! Why?"

"It's just..." she hesitates a bit,"not working out" she finished through clenched teeth.

I continue looking at her confused.

"What do you mean? We're perfectly fine. We love eachother" I say the last part sadly.

"Don't you love me?" I ask shakily.

She mumbles something that I can't make out.

"What?"

"I said it doesn't matter!"

"Of course it does Kayla! If you love me we are together, isn't that the whole point" I say and she sighs and stands up.

"Where are you going?" I grab her arm as she starts walking away.

"We are through. No questions. Ok"

"No! No 'ok'! Look me in the eyes and tell me you don't love me!" I yell and she looks at me.

I can see her eyes glisten, showing that she was most likely on the verge of tears.

"I can't, I can't be with you" she says looking back down.

"You can't. Or you won't?" I ask.

"I can't" she looks in my eyes.

"Why not"

"Bye Jack" she says getting out of my grip.

"You're not leaving!"

"Goodbye Jack!"

"I love you, Kayla!"

".....Goodbye, Jack" she says a bit more quietly and more sincere.

She walks out the door and I couldn't help but let a few tears run down my face.

I run my hands through my hair.

Why did this happen?

We were perfectly fine.

Weren't we?

Was I even a good boyfriend?

Did I love her enough?

What did she mean by she "can't" be with me?

There are so many questions and I don't know what to answer.

It's been three days.

School started yesterday from Thanksgiving Break and people started questioning me since Kayla wasn't with me.

A guy told me he saw Kayla and Matthew holding hands after school.

It made sense since Matthew also hasn't been sitting with the rest of us at lunch.

Even Violet hasn't talked to Kayla in a while but whenever she walked passed her and tried to say hi, Kayla would flinch and walk off.

Flinch?

I don't know why.

Some people have even said that she cuts herself.

I tried I get Walker to see but whenever he got close, she'd walk away too.

I do still love her. So much.

I tried talking to her, but again, she'd walk off.

She's been so distant and....unhappy.

Honestly, I have no idea what happened to her.

I was walking down the hall to my next class when I saw Kayla at her locker with Matthew.

He kissed her cheek.

Kissed.

I was mentally dying because I miss her. I love her.

I need her

When he kissed her cheek, she looked away sadly and to the ground.

I wanted to go over there, push him off of her, and kiss her myself.

I missed the smell of her Strawberry Shampoo hair.

The taste of her smooth soft lips.

I missed her.
