My Brother's Best Friend: a Jack Avery imagine

Part 19. I Can't Make Any Promises.

Previously in My Brother's Best Friend

The three of us just laugh and walk out of her room, downstairs and to the door. Rose walks to where Anna can see her through the window and sticks up her middle finger. That's my girl, I thought. Jonah calls an uber and we all head to the airport, just laughing. We get on the plane and head back to LA, back to home.
-----------------
Rose's POV

The next day was really chill, we didn't do much. Well, the boys didn't. Jack and I, umm, we had a little fun. The night before, on the plane, Jack and I had a couple drinks. Well, maybe more than a couple. We got home around 4 AM and stayed up until 5. Doing what? If your mind is in the gutter, then this is the one time you're right. We made out, which kind of morphed its way into a very fun night. Now that I'm I'm thinking about it, Jack didn't use a-

I get up from my bed and run to the bathroom, throwing up. I sit back and run my hand through my hair, reaching up and flushing the toilet. Jack walks in with his hand on his head, asking me if I'm okay. "Jack, did you, umm, use.. you know.. last night?"

"....fuck."

"Oh. My. God. Jack, Daniel's gonna kill me!"

"Shit."

Jack runs out of the bathroom and into the closet, grabbing some clothes for himself and throwing me one of his hoodies and a pair of jeans. "Where are we going?"

"Babe, let's go somewhere the boys aren't. And where my family isn't."

"Where are we fucking going, Jack?"

"Wanna go see a movie?"

"Sure."

"You know where we're stopping first."

I nod and get dressed, putting my messy hair into a bun and walking out of the bathroom. "Hey," Jack says, "whatever happens, I love you." I smile at him and we walk out of my room, it's about 10 on a Saturday, nobody's awake. Well, I hear Ava and Isla, but they don't care. We get in the car and drive to the drugstore, as I walk in and grab a pregnancy test. It was the most awkward thing, being a 17 year old and grabbing this. I walk to the check out and buy it, running to the bathroom after. I take the pregnancy test and shove it in my purse so I can run out of there. I head out the door and walk to the car, getting in. Jack looks at me, smiling desperately, wanting me to be happy. I fake smile at him back, so we can just drive. His right hand leaves the wheel and moves to my leg, squeezing it. I look over at him to see him mouthing, I love you. "Both hands on the wheel, I really don't feel like dying today," I laugh. We pull into the movie theater parking lot and Jack drops me off at the door to buy our tickets. It texted him, since I didn't know what he wanted to see.

Rose-
Babe wht movie r we seeing?

My Love-
Ummm.. I dont know

Rose-
How abt pirates of the Caribbean

My Love-
That's fine.

Rose-
K

I buy the tickets for the movie and wait inside for Jack. He comes in and walks to me, grabbing my hand. "Theater.... 13."

"Right down there," the ticket taker says.

"Thank you," Jack says to him as we walk down the long hallway to the door of our theater. We walk in and sit down in our seats. "Baby, do you want me to get any snacks or something?" I ask, and Jack shakes his head.

"I can do it."

"No. Sit your ass down and give me your card."

"Wow, pushy."

"Shut up. What do you want?"

"A pretzel, please."

"Ok."

"Thank you," I hear him say as I walk out of the theater. I go to the concessions bar and get a pretzel for Jack and a bag of popcorn for both of us, since God knows Jack's gonna finish this damn pretzel in about 10 minutes.

Jack's POV

Jesus, she's so mad at me. If she's pregnant then she's gonna kill me. I grab the test out of her bag and look at it as she walks in to the theater. She hands me my pretzel and says, "promise me you'll never love another girl the way you do me."

"I can't make any promises.." I trail off, smirking.

"Excuse me?"

"This other girl, she's wonderful.. she's cute, and smart, and funny. I'm surprised you don't know her."

"Jack fucking Avery."

"And one more thing, she'll call you mommy," I say, pulling the small stick with the double marking on it, showing she was pregnant. "Oh, you ass," she says, smiling and pecking my lips. She sits back in her seat as I take my arm and wrap it around her shoulders, pulling her closer to me. Then I realized: the armrest between us, since we were sitting at the very top, folded up. I pushed it up and pulled her closer to me as she layed her head on my shoulder. "I love you."
------------
Once the movie was over, we headed back home to break the news to the rest of the family.

"Guys, we need to tell you something," I say with my arm around Rose, looking down at her and smiling.

"Oh God, what did you two do," Sydnie says, making everyone laugh.

Rose pulls the pregnancy test out of her bag and hands it to Daniel, fear in her eyes. Daniel's smile slowly faded into a frown as he looked back up at her, saying, "What the hell did you do?"

"What do you mean what did I do?" Rose asks him.

"Mom and Dad are gonna kill me. You're 17!"

"Keri and Jeff should be fine with it, quit stressing."

He raised his hand up and slapped her, yelling, "Get out of my house. I'm disappointed in you."

Rose's POV

"Get out of my house. I'm disappointed in you."

Those last four words were the ones I never wanted to hear again. I heard them from Logan, from Michael, and now from my own brother. Jack turns my head to look at him, but I keep my eyes on Daniel, giving him the death glare I gave to Gabbie and to Logan. "I hate you."

I turn around and run out of the house, sitting on the driveway crying into my hands. Jack comes out soon after, picking me up and putting me in the car. "Come on, I have the perfect spot."

"Can I grab a bag?"

"Yeah I'll probably need one too." We walk back inside and into our room, grabbing a few pairs of clothes and shoving them into a backpack. "You ready?"

"For what?"

"To run away with me."

"Of course," I say, smiling at him. I grab his hand as we walk towards the door, but before we could go, Isla comes and grabs onto Jack's waist. "Jacky, please dont go," she begs, a tear falling from her eye. "I'm sorry, princess."

"Jack, you cant just walk out like that," Ava speaks up as she walks towards us. "Tell Daniel that," he responds sarcastically.

She grabs Isla and holds her, watching us walk out the door. Isla buried her face in her sister's neck, sobbing.

Jack and I get in the car as he starts driving to this 'perfect place.'

"Where are we even going?" I ask as we get on the highway.

"You'll see," he tells me as he looks over and smirks.
