Why Don't We? // Jack Avery fanfiction

Back Again

I guess Jack and I must have lost track of time or something, because it's been 2 hours since we last saw Rachael and Jonah. So much for a double date. Oh well, it doesn't even matter because Jack and I created amazing memories on our own. We took a selfie on top of the ferris wheel, smiling, showing my teeth, and Jack kissing my cheek. The view in the back is incredible since we're so high up in the air. We also ate all kinds of food, and went on some other more delicate rides. Eventually, we get tired of all the activity, so we sit down on bench, and I check my phone.

4 missed calls from Rachael
8 missed texts from Rachael.
2 voicemails from Rachael.

I click the voicemail button to listen to what Rachael has to say.

"Emily?? Jack?? Where are you guys? Jonah and I have been looking everywhere."

End of message.

"Hey Emily, its Rachael.. where are you guys??"

"Crap.." I think to myself, knowing she's going to be so mad at me. Hesitantly, I text her back, telling her where Jack and I have been. All I can do is hope that she wont make a scene.

After about 6 minutes, I see Rachael and Jonah heading toward us, holding hands. Rachael is eating a thing of pink, fluffy cotton candy. "Hey, we missed you guys." She says, non angrily. "Yeah, sorry about that." I say, quietly. "Hey, Rachael, can we go to the arcade like old times?" Rachael nods. Thankfully, Jack gets the hint that I want to talk to Rachael alone, and asks Jonah to come get food with him.

As Rachael and I are walking toward the arcade, I stop. "Rachael." I say, without any signs of a smile. "Why did you do that to me? You know I don't like rides that spin. You've know that for years.. and then when I say that I can't go on that ride, you try to convince my boyfriend to go with you and Jonah so that I'm all alone?? and then you tell me it's just too bad?? What the hell is up with that Rach? You're my best friend, and it really hurts that you would do something crappy like that to me"

I look into Rachaels eyes and see a tear begin to form. Suddenly, theres more than just one tear, there are many. "Rachael? Why are you crying?" I ask. She quickly wipes away the tears, smudging her mascara ever so slightly. "I'm sorry Emily. I knew it was mean, the second I said it..  and I don't know why I did it. Or.. actually.. I do. Emily, you're my best friend, and I love you so much, as a friend, but it's so hard how everyone loves you. All the guys love you, and I know they don't like me. I can tell. They probably all hate me, and even Jonah seems to be getting tired of me.. and I noticed that he seemed more cheerful when you were around.. and I got jealous.. and I'm sorry Emily, I really am. I messed up."

I take into account what Rachael just said. "Oh my God, Rach, no! I don't know about the other guys, but I know that Jonah is in love with you. Okay? He's so in love Rach, I was talking to Jack over the phone a couple of nights ago, and Jonah was literally trying to tell Jack about a date you guys had WHILE Jack was on the phone to me. Rach, he loves you."

Rachael and I continue our conversation, and walk to the bathroom, so she can fix her makeup. After making a few minor touch ups to her mascara, and listening to me rant about how amazing she is, Rachael finally calms down about her and Jonah. I can't lie, it's definitely a relief. Moody Rachael isn't very fun.

We walk back to meet the boys, and all decide together that we should get some food.
