Jack and Jill (formerly Perfectly Broken)

Thirteen.

a/n Sup. Just me, telling you I love you. Okay. Hold on to that, because you may or may not still love me at the end of this Chapter.

I am prepared to lose all my fans *tears up* 

-Tahlia

 PS I am dedicating this to my good friend Tavita, because I hope I can be as good a writer as her one day, and because she is so damn awesome. Oh, and because when you first meet her, she's nothing like how she really is. I love her,  and I'm sure we will be best friends in the near future. Go check her out because her stories are cray-zay good. Okay now read!

We walked through the door around 8:30, sopping wet. Nick was still shirtless, and my hair was practically dripping. I was laughing for no apparent reason.We looked like we had just walked through a hurricane, rather than swimming around in a lake. Molly looked up from her laptop, and her mouth formed the perfect O. I laughed even harder at her reaction, and Nick stifled a giggle.

"W-what the hell did you do?" She interrogated. I kept laughing. Nick just shrugged, and ran a hand through his wet curls. Molly's eyes lighted with fury, and she pointed at me. "Is she on crack? What's wrong with her?" I collapsed onto my bed and forced my face into a pillow, thinking that if death by laughter was possible, I was on my way to the morgue. "AND YOU! WHERE'S YOUR DAMN SHIRT!"  I heard Molly shriek. I finally collected myself and looked up. Nick met my eyes.

"We just... we had a great time," a light smile flashed across his features, and I blushed. I glanced at Molly, and her hard expression lightened slighty.

"Aww, well... the boys should be here in a few minutes. So unless you love birds WANT to get caught, I think it's time to wrap it up..." She said, her tone much more light and free. Nick walked over to me, shoving his hands into his pockets nervously. I smiled. He was nervous!

"Bye," he smiled, his eyes on mine.

"Bye," I smiled back. He waved to Molly, and turned to make his way out.

"No goodbye kiss?" Molly mouthed. I shrugged, and started making my way to the bathroom. I was going to need a shower. My hair was probably tinting green, and I smelled like fish and dirt. I felt a hand on my waist and jumped. A figure spun me around, and I realized it was Nick. He pulled me into him, kissing me more passionately than ever before. He ran his fingers throug my hair, and I melted into him. When he pulled away, I was in awe. I was breathing heavily, as he was too.

"Goodnight." He whispered.

"Goodnight..." I said, breathing in and out.

I just stood there, and Molly laughed once he was gone.

"I guess he does kiss Goodnight."

Boy... does he ever.

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

 I got out of the shower and fluffed my hair. I heard a knock at the door.

"Trin, I'm going to the guys's room. Cece is going to be there in like, ten minutes to talk about where the band's headed." Molly boomed.

"Okay!" I shouted back. I quickly got dressed, just into some sweats and a t-shirt. I put my hair into a high bun, and switched out my red gauges for pink ones. When I stepped out of the bathroom, Molly was already gone. 

I was in the hotel room... alone. I glanced at my phone.

No. Trinity, stop it. 

I twirled my gauge. Why do I do this to myself? I had the most magical night ever with a guy who loves me possibly more than he loves himself, and I'm contemplating on calling a guy I met twice.

A guy I met that totally swooned me.

I'm being dramatic, right?

I smacked my hand to my forehead. What am I trying to do? Fuck up my only chance at happiness? I sighed... One phone call didn't have the power to do that. I picked up my phone and dialed Aaron's number.

"Hi." he whispered on the seconds ring.

I hung up and threw the phone onto my bed. I bit my nail. This made no sense. Nick is perfect in every way, but why did I feel the urge to talk to Aaron? What made him so special? 

I don't know. But whatever it is made me pick up that phone and re-dial his number. 

"Are you going to waste some more of my time now?" he whispered with an attitude.

"If you let me..." I whispered back, being extra cautious that no one heard me, even though this hotel room was obviously empty. I glanced around again. Who knows, these walls could hear.

"Stop," he hissed. I tugged at my shirt.

"Stop what? I just called you, damn.." I let the attitude in my voice show.

"Flirting with me..." he trailed off. I scoffed.

"I'm not even flirting with you! You're the one who showed up at the signing and flirted with ME. Soo.."

"Yeah. And then your little buddy told me you had a boyfriend." He sounded genuinely hurt. I rolled my eyes, and pushed away the small ounce of guilt.

"We met twice." I whispered harshly.

"Yeah, twice. But it only took you one time to stay on my mind. But whatever, fuck it. Fuck lunch on Wednesday."

Click.

I dropped my phone.

He...he's been thinking about me? Why is he so guarded? And angry? I mean... we only met twice!

But he's been thinking about me... I sat on my bed, dazed. I twirled my lip ring with my tongue. I heard a knock at the door. I jumped suddenly.

"Trinity baby? It's Cece. Are you okay?" she asked quietly.

"I'm fine..  why?" I asked.

"Just wondering, you didn't come over for the meeting yet. It's not like you to be late." 

I sighed. Such a worry wart.

"I'm fine Cece, jesus." I spat by accident. She opened my door with her key.

"You don't sound fine. Is it about your dad?" She sat down next to me, and wrapped an arm around me. I glared at her.

Die Cece. 

 I was just forgetting about... all of that. And she reminded me. Now she dies.

Kidding, of course, but still. I slouched.

"I'm... okay. I'm fine. I don't care. He's not waltzing back into my life that easy..." I trailed off. "Let's get to the meeting." Cece smiled sympathetically. We got up and she hugged me, her brown curls draping around my shoulders.

"You are so strong darling." She said, still not letting go. "Stay that way..." She touched my hair gently. I forced a small grin. My phone dinged from the bed screen side up. Cece and I glanced down at the same time.

New Text: Aaron Daniels

I snatched my phone up quickly, but not quick enough.

"Who's that?! A boy?" Cece asked suspiciously.

"No..ah..No!" I stuttered awkwardly. I'm not good at lying directly... Cece smiled slyly, her green eyes lit with curiosity. 

"It IS!" She shrieked. She danced out of the room. "Trinity's got a boyfrieeeennnndddd."

And that's how my cover was blown.
