Jack Avery | Secret love

48.

Taylor's P.O.V

We just finished eating our chipotle Jonah had brought home for us and are now getting ready to go to the beach. Everyone was in their rooms getting changed including Jack and I, however our clothes were a little all over the place and most my bathing suits are back at my apartment.

"Jack!" I called out in frustration as I got down on my knees and scrummaged through the pile of clothes on the floor. "Yes!" He yelled back from the bathroom where he was brushing his teeth.

"Where are my bathers?" I called out again, "Why would I know babe?" He said back in quite a rude tone. I looked over towards the bathroom with a disgusted look.

"What the fuck Jack" I scowled as I stood up and headed for the bathroom, "what?" He said back in a rude tone again as he pulled his shorts up.

"Why are you being such a dick? You could just be nice you know" I said with my eyebrows furrowed in anger. "Well I don't know where your bathers are okay!" He said pushing past me and walking over to make the bed.

"Okay well you could have just said that in the first place!" I said started to yell in an aggressive tone, "can you stop fucking yelling!" he said just as aggressively.

"Don't tell me what to fucking do Jack" I said pointing a finger at him as I stormed into the bathroom and slammed the door. I heard him sigh a heavy sigh before dropping the sheets off the bed and following me over to the bathroom.

"Tay" he sighed as he knocked on the bathroom door a couple times, "tay c'mon babe, open up, I'm sorry" he said with sympathy trying to suck up to me.

I growled to myself as I opened the door with force, "no Jack stop with that petty apology shit! I know you don't mean it so just stop!" I spat before pushing past him and walking around to try and find my phone.

"Oh my god" he sighed dramatically "your so over dramatic Taylor!" He said sliding his hands over his face and rubbing his eyes as if he was over it. "Are you even hearing the way your talking to me Jack? Your being a complete asshole!" I spat once again this time trying to fight back the tears that we're trying to escape my eyes.

"Yeah okay Tay whatever you say" he said with a chuckle as he followed me around the room. I was moving quickly as I continued to search the room pulling things apart and messing up the room within the second.

As I searched under a pile of clothes I eventually found my phone and it was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, as I reached down to grab my phone, Jack's hand quickly snatched my phone and stood up and backed away from me.

"Don't you dare Avery, give it back right now" I said in the most annoyed voice I had, "just stop and let me to talk to you okay?" He said trying to compromise. "No! I already know your being an asshole, you don't have to explain yourself" I said with a chuckle of sarcasm at the end.

"Why don't we just drop it and go to the beach baby come on" he said walking closer to me and reaching out to hold my hand. "No don't touch me. I'm going home and I'm going to see Logan, just, give me some space for a bit? Please?" I sighed because I was so tired of fighting with him at this point I just had to stop and leave.

"Hey no Tay don't be like that" he said finally reaching my hand and softly grasping it, and coming closer to me. I didn't say anything I just stood there and look at the ground letting my heart beat 100 miles per second.

He eventually got so close that our body's were touching as he put my phone in my pocket for me, he leaned his forehead up against mine as he whispered "you know I didn't mean it like that Tay". I closed my eyes and sighed as a tear slowly escaped but was shortly wiped off by jack's thumb.

"I can't, i just can't handle the fighting anymore" I said releasing another tear as I let go of him and began walking over to the door. He didn't call out, he didn't follow me, he didn't yell, he just stood there. "No. I let you walk out on me last time Taylor but I'm not letting you walk out on me this time" he said with a crack in his voice as if he was going to shed a tear as well.

"I just, need time ok? goodbye Jack" I said without turning around because I knew I would fall to pieces if I saw his face, so I kept walking and finally got out of that room.

I started walking so fast that it was almost a run, so I could make it past everyone in the lounge room without them seeing me and asking questions. As I started going down the stairs I heard Jack running behind me and stopping at the top.

"Why are you always saying goodbye?" He said with heartbreak, I kept walking towards the front door without turning around or answering him, I even ignored the boys and Christina when they saw what was happening and tried calling my name.

Everyone including Jack got up and chased after me causing me to start running, I soon got out the front door and closed it behind me before they could get to me. I ran across the driveway towards my Uber that was pulled up at the end of it when I heard voices calling out to me.

"Taylor wait!" And "Tay what are you doing!" Or "Taylor!" Was all I could here and it was driving me crazy. I still ignored it and kept running as tears kept on falling.

I jumped into the Uber as soon as I could and told him my address and then to be quick, as we were leaving I looked back and saw Christina, Zach, Corbyn and Daniel all standing out in front of the door and Next to them, Jonah with one arm around Jack comforting him as tears welled up in his eyes.

On the way home all I could think about was jack's face when I left. How sad, hurt and worried he looked when we were up in that room. I know it was only a fight but it was another fight that added on to all our other ones and it was beginning to become all too much and I couldn't handle the stress anymore. It was like...I was having another one of my panic attacks again...

But it was for the best right? I think we both need some time to just think about what's right and what's healthy...for the both of us.

I need to go to sleep.
