Why Don't We? // Jack Avery fanfiction

Unforgettably Wrong

After the show finished, we said our goodbyes to Abbey and her mom and headed back to the tour bus. The boys stay back at the venue to take pictures with fans, while Rachael and I get ready for bed. After waiting in our bunks for almost 40 minutes, Rachael decides to go to McDonalds to get some food. Me being the curious girl I am, I put a sweater on over my pyjamas and leave the tour bus. Almost as soon as I step out of the bus, I run into Corbyn. "Hey, where's Jack?" I ask, covering myself up with my sweater. "Uh.. I don't know. He's definitely taking pictures with fans somewhere though. Here, let's go find him." Corbyn says, walking with me. "Okay." I say, smiling. Corbyn puts on a hat, and a sweater so that the fans don't recognize him. I wouldn't think something so simple would work, but together, we walked through the hordes of girls, without a single one noticing.

Corbyn abruptly stops walking. "What is it?" I ask; but Corbyn doesn't respond. I push past him to see something I never thought I would see in my life. Silent tears begin to roll down my cheeks, and a choking feeling takes over my throat. I push my way past Corbyn and run back toward the tour bus. Corbyn chases after me. "Emily!" He grabs my wrist. Suddenly, the crowd of girls recognizes Corbyn's voice, and begin to crowd around him and take selfies. I take this opportunity to run into the tour bus.

After opening the door to the bus, I quickly sit on my bunk and go over what I just saw in front of me. Shortly after I sit down, Corbyn runs into the bus. "Emily.." he says, locking the door to the bus and sitting down beside me. "Emily.. I don't know what to say.. I'm so sorry." I suddenly break out into loud sobs, and put my head in Corbyn's lap. "How could he? I thought he loved me." I choke out in between sobs. Corbyn's takes his fingers and wipes away my tears, but they don't stop coming.

"Emily" he says quietly.

I ignore him and continue to cry.

"Emily.." he says again

I still don't respond.

"A black shirt with a picture of a frog wearing glasses. That's what you were wearing the first time I saw you. From the day I met you, in that stupid English room, I knew... I was going to fall in love with you. Every day that has passed by has been so painful, because as I was falling deeper and deeper for you, and you were falling deeper and deeper for Jack. It's been so hard for me to watch, but I knew he loved you and that you were happy. You being happy is all that matters Emily."

Corbyn begins to cry.

"Emily. I love you so much. And I've wanted to be with you for so long. There are so many things I've wanted to do with you, and so many places I wanted to take you. But I know I just can't. I missed my chance. I missed it."

He pauses.

"Emily. I don't know if this is crazy, and I swear it'll never happen again.. but now more than ever, I need to know.."

He gently puts his left hand on my chin, and tilts it up so that I'm looking at him. He puts his other hand on the small of my back. I feel a strange warm sensation go through my body.

"Emily. Tell me if you want me to stop." he says as he leans his head in. I shake my head gently to tell him it's okay. Before I know it, our lips are moving together, slowly, in synch. It's slow, soft, and full of emotion. Corbyn gently pulls away. "I'll always love you Emily. But I get that I can't have you. Do what you need to do with Jack, okay? You and Jack are both my best friends. This didn't have to mean anything. I just needed to know"

I pull Corbyn in for a hug, and we hold there for a long time. "I know what I need to do." I finally say.

"What are you going to do?" He asks.

I pull out my phone and call the number that Katherine, Abbey's mom gave me.

"Hi, is this Abbey's mom, Katherine?"

"Yes, it is! Who am I speaking with?"

"Hi Katherine, this is Emily from the concert.. this is a bit of a strange question, but did you and Abbey drive to the show, and if you did, are you still here?"

So, did anyone see that coming?
