[ jacks POV ]
i take gabbie back home after our day together, i walk her to her door. "i had fun today" i say with a fake smile.

"me too," she says. "well i should get going" i say, i kiss her on the cheek. i see her blush a little, "bye jack" she says, "bye gabbie".

i watch her go inside and then i go to my car, i head home. i blast music in the car to clear my thoughts, which wasn't helping clear anything.

what is wrong with me?

[ bellas POV ]
i've locked myself into my room all day, olivia has tried a few times to get me out. she even tried to get our mom to come over and try to get me out, i haven't budged yet.

i hear a knock at my door again, "bella sweetie, it's your mom." my mom says, i sigh. "go away, please." i say.

my mom and i always had a close bond, she's mostly busy because she works 24/7. she actually help buy olivia and i's house, she's so supportive of us. i haven't told her about jack or gabbie, i've actually shut her out a little.

i feel so bad about it, we used to be super close. now it's just different, and it's my fault. i tend to shut everyone out when i'm mad at myself, which i need to stop doing.

i give in and walk to the door opening it, "hi mom." i say, she turns around and her eyes widen. she pulls me into a hug. i can hear her start to cry, i start to cry also. "i'm so sorry mom." i say.

we pull away from each other, "don't be sorry, it isn't your fault," she says. i let her into my room and close the door behind me. she sits on my bed and i sit next to her, "it's pretty messy in here." she says.

i nod, "yeah i guess," i say. we sit in silence for a while, we both don't know what to say. i turn to her, "his name is jack avery, and he was gabbie's boyfriend. i started to like him and then gabbie got mad, then sh-" my mom stops me and giggles a little.

"you don't need to explain yourself bella, i know it isn't your fault," she says, i nod. i hear the door open and olivia walks in, i look up at her. "finally you've decided to talk," she says sarcastically.

i roll my eyes, "what do you want?" i say, olivia bites her lip, "you have company." she says. i furrow my eyebrows, who could possibly want to see me? i think to myself.

my mom gets up from the bed, "cmon, let's see who it is." she says, olivia stops her. "no, no it's bellas company" olivia says to mom, she nods and motions me to go downstairs.

i get up and walk past them not saying a word, i walk downstairs to the door. i see who's there, my whole world stops. i stand there for a second, i don't say anything.

i just stare.
it's jack.

i cant lie, i'm pissed at him. not even pissed, i'm furious. but it's been almost 6 months, i've missed him. seeing him makes my world make sense again. even though he hurt me, he broke our promise. i can see the hurt in his eyes, it's like he's apologizing to me without even apologizing.

he walks up to me and grabs my hand gently, "i
love you, it might sound like a lie coming from the guy who hurt you, but i love you so damn much" he says, i look him in the eyes trying my best not to cry.

"i don't know what i would do without you," i say, "i love you, but-" i say but he cuts me off, "i know, you can't trust me, and i'm not asking you too" he says.

"i just want things to go back the way they were, when no one was hurt." he says, i shake my head. "it can't go back to the way it was, i want you in my life, it's just so hard to trust you jack" i say sobbing to him.

he holds my hand tighter, "bella i-" he says, not able to get a word in. my crying is filling the room, he stands there speechless, he tries to pull me into a hug but i deny it. "i don't want a hug" i say to him, he nods.

"i'm so sorr-" he starts to say but i cut him off kissing him, he kisses back and our lips move in sync, it feels like he never left. everything just makes sense.

the kiss lasts for a long time, we eventually pull away trying to catch our breaths. "i miss you." i simply say, "me too." he says.

i hear the stairs creak and look up to see my mom and olivia, my eyes widen and i quickly wipe my tears. "guys! what the hell," i say almost yelling. jack laughs at them. "you guys are so in love" olivia says smiling big, my mom nods. "this is like a movie" she says.

i roll my eyes, i motion them to go back upstairs. they leave and i turn back to jack, "so, where does this leave us?" i ask him, "can we just make it work one more time" he asks.

i hesitate to answer, i know he doesn't love gabbie i'm not worried about that. it's just that when he feels guilty he runs back to her, and i don't want that to happen. "only on one condition" i say to him.

he nods, "what is it?" he asks. "you can't run back to gabbie, and you have to end whatever you have with her if you honestly want this to work" i say.

he agrees, i smile and kiss him on the cheek, "ice cream?" i ask, he smiles and nods. "ice cream everyone!" i yell to olivia and my mom.
