Done

*Next Day*

I woke up at my house, on the couch. I got up and walked into the kitchen.

"Hey honey, how was Yogurtown?" Mom asked.

"Great! Did you know that Matt is staying here for a while? He came when we were there."

"Really? Has he changed at all."

"Kinda. He seems a little nervous or shy around me." I told her. "But other than that, he hasn't."

"That's nice." She said, flipping a pancake. "Your dad and I are going out to the football game tonight so we won't be back until the morning."

"Okay, love ya."

"Love you too sweetie." She kissed my cheek and I walked upstairs to my room.

I got dressed in a croptop that says 'I Woke Up Like This', high waisted shorts, and a beanie that says 'FLAWLESS'.

The time was 12:21.

I walked downstairs to my bathroom for my makeup.

I put on the basics. Mascara, foundation, blue eyeliner, and light pink lipstick.

I walked over to Jack Js house and knocked.

No answer.

I tried opening the door but it was locked.

I got the key, which was under the 'WELCOME' mat, and unlocked the door.

I walked in and called out his name. "Jack?"

I walked into the kitchen, "You in here?"

No sign of him.

I jogged upstairs and his door was closed. I opened it.

And there he was. Making out with someone. Jack was ontop of her, and he was definitely loving it. They obviously didn't hear me.

"Jack?" I choked out, tears forming.

He stopped, sat there for a moment, and looked at me.

He got off her and said, "Shelby, it's not what it looks like."

He started walking towards me slowly, and started to put his hand up.

"Oh, it's exactly what it look like, Jack. It look like you're fucking cheating on me!" I pushed him back.

A tear ran down my face.

"Babe, who is this slut?" The girl asked, like she's mad.

"Shut the fuck up." I said, sternly.

Jack looked scared, wide-eyed, open mouth, not a clue what to say.

"You know what Jack? We, we are done."

I stormed out of the house, placing the key back under the mat. I called Gilinsky.

"Jack? Can I come over for a while?" I asked, almost breaking into tears.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Ill tell you when I get there." I said. I hung up.

I continued walking, and looked back at his house. I took a shaky breath and ran over to Gs house.

Before I knocked, he pulled me in.

"Here," He handed me a sweatshirt and a pair of boxers. "We're having a sleepover!" He smiled, which caused me to smile.

I walked to the bathroom and got dressed.

I walked out and noticed that Jack got some ice cream.

"Ooo, ice cream!" I yelled.

Jack looked up at me and smiled.

"What movie we watchin'?" I plopped down next to him.

"Pick one." He gave me three.

The Conjuring, Mama, and Maze Runner.

"Oh come on! I can't choose one. Maybe we can watch all!" Joy sprung onto my face.

"Okay." Jack put in The Conjuring first.

............

"That wasn't scary at all." I told Jack. "But it was pretty cool."

"You weren't scared?" He looked at me with a surprised look.

"No, I don't get scared often. Were you scared?" I smirked.

"Phhhttt! No."

I crossed my arms. "Out of the corner of my eye I saw you hugging your pillow."

"Fine, I was scared. Lets just watch the other movies." Jack put in Mama.

I shook my head, smiling.

............

I woke up, with Gilinsky's arm around me.

I yawned.

"Morning." Jack said, not taking his eyes off the T.V screen.

"Spongebob? Really?"

"What? A guy can't watch spongebob?"

I got up walking into the kitchen, making myself a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

When I finished, I ate the sandwich.

After five minutes of silence, I spoke up.

"Jack? Can we talk about what happened last night?"

"Uh, sure, what about it?" Jack turned towards me.

"Before I came here, to your house, I was going to his house," I told him, meaning Jacks Js house," when I walked into his room, he, he was making out with another girl."

Jack looked at me, with a sad look on his face. "Shelby, I'm so sorry. You don't have to go on-"

"No, just let me explain. She wasn't forcing him to make out, he was enjoying it like he wanted more than that."

A tear ran down my face.

"What did she look like?"

"Bright green eyes, dirty blonde hair, and way too much makeup."

"Anastasia, the schools biggest slut. She's been trying to date Jack for years."

"School starts in ten days, so should I watch out for her?" I asked, thinking about Ana and her slut posse knowing that I'm dating Jack, which will result in many fights and drama.

"Yes, Ana's posse is in the top five drama filled posse in the school, and yes, we have that."
