lilly's pov
i wake up and immediately find that corbyn is no longer beside me, but it's still dark out. i check the time, and it's midnight.
i try to go back to sleep, but i'm startled when i hear a slight yelling from the backyard.
"THAT is why i care so much. because i like her, A LOT. i didn't ask for you to cheat on her and make her feel like a piece of trash, jack. she was happy, and that's all i wanted. if i never get to be in a relationship with her, that's fine as long as she's happy." it's corbyn.
i hear that and shake my head. i sigh
"damn it corbyn, you're so stupid" i say to myself in a whisper
i can't make out who else it was, so i travel quietly to my window and slide it open. this way i can see who else it is, and hear what else is said.
"yo shut the hell up, everyone will wake up." the other person says in a hushed voice.
"honestly at this point i don't care. you do not deserve to be happy right now. you made her feel like trash, jack. GARBAGE. she doesn't deserve that kind of treatment." i know it's corbyn defending me, but why would he go against one of his best friends for me?
"corbyn, wait." jack said, in a low voice.
corbyn turns around and waits.
"okay look, i didn't want to make her feel that way. she was enough, but i couldn't help my feelings. i know i should've broken up with her when i realized that i never got over my feelings for gabbie. i get that i should've told her. i know i've caused her a lot of pain today; i could hear her through the door every time i walked past it in the last three hours. i will apologize and make it up to her, but i don't want you to hate me as well." he said
"if she forgives you, then i will too. so, we'll jack. we'll see."
corbyn enters the house and i quickly, but quietly shut my window and hop into bed, pretending that i've been sleeping the whole entire time.
he walks in quietly and closes the door behind him. he carefully climbs back in next to me, and i wrap my arms around his waist, sleepily. he kissed my head softly, and i act like i just woke up.
i raise my head a bit, and he notices immediately.
"oh, i'm sorry. did i wake you up?" he asks, concerned, while looking down at me.
he starts to get up, like he was going to leave, but i stopped him.
"stay..please" i say in a whisper.
"of course, always." he says, laying back.
