heartbreak, when a heartbroken guy is trying to move on. he stays home. he binge watches his favourite tv shows. maybe even wonder why him and his ex broke up. pitying himself. in no mood to party or go out, when his best mate jack johnson, drags hi...
did i hear that correctly, did my ex boyfriend just announce to the whole party which included both benji and i's extended family and our friends that he was going to sabotage our special day. i couldn't believe what i was hearing, i mean i didn't expect him to love the idea of our engagement but at least be happy that i was happy. i am beyond mad at him right now, i thought we were finally good, i mean as friends. friends don't do this, friends support each other no matter what their final decision is. i maintained a poker face in front of everyone, but i was dying to go over to jack and scream in his face. i had no idea what i was supposed to do after that outburst, so johnson saved my ass, as he always does, "amazing food has just arrived! enjoy!"
i wasn't planning on going over to jack, i didn't want to deal with the truth at the moment, I wanted to have a good time. maybe my silence will show him that what he said was wrong, and that he will stop whatever he had planned. i couldn't even grasp that he had thoughts of ruining what would be my happiest day of my life. i really do love benji, he makes me happy and the happiest girl alive. but so does jack, he makes me feel special and like the only girl in the world, but we have failed so many times it hurts me each time a little more.
by now it has been a few hours since the official start to the engagement party, it was scheduled for me the bride to be to make my speech, "hi everybody! firstly i'd like to thank you all for coming to my love and i's engagement party, clearing your busy schedules to come and celebrate the second most happiest days of our lives, the wedding being our happiest. but i just can't express how grateful and happy i am to have met benji here on a spontaneous trip to paris with my best friends, shoutout to them. it couldn't have been at a more horrible time though, but i mean even me being a sad grown women he managed to make me fall for him still, so props to him. but i guess that's all i'm going to expose for tonight, cheers to getting married!" i cheered, everyone raised their glasses except for one. jack, he stood near the bar with his eyebrows in furrows with pursed lips, he was mad, well obviously but i knew him to well, when he was angry he would try get wasted and drink his problems away. as much as i wanted to ignore him, i still cared for him and needed to help him. i told benji that i needed to go help jack, as i told benji his ways and of course he trusted me enough to let me go help him. although i was stopped on the way, by none other than the gilinsky family. i mean i was excited to see them because they mean the world to me, but after the outburst i had mixed emotions seeing them here, did they feel the same way jack does?
"omg bella ! you look absolutely stunning, we just wanted to come say congratulations to you and your new fiancé" exclaimed katherine as she pulled me in for a hug, molly and lauren squealed in excitement and jumped on me. "hey sister! i mean you were supposed to be our sister if jack wasn't so stupid! but congratulations you got yourself a handsome french!" molly said ecstatically, "yeah! we are planning on moving to paris not long after the wedding, but keep this on the low, we haven't really told anyone", i thanked them for their wishes and we continued to talk and catch up not long before i excused myself, "sorry, as much as i love talking with you all, i got to go make sure jack is ok because as of right now he alcohol intake is beyond normal limits" i apologise as i rush over to the bar.
he was still facing the other direction, "jack you need to stop drinking, you are going to be so hungover tomorrow and we know you hate being hungover" i scold as i snatched the red solo cup from his hands. his eyebrows frowned even more and his face scrunching up into a scowl, "why would you care anyway?" he spat, taking another solo cup filled with tequila and sculled it down. "why do i care jack? because you are my friend, and i care for my friends because that is what friends do!" i shout as i stormed away, out to the backyard hoping jack will follow and he does, following in suit.
"i don't want to be your friend bella!" he exclaimed as he chucked his empty solo cup into the surrounding plants. "clearly! because friends don't tell everyone they care about that they plan on ruining and sabotaging the happiest day of their friends life!" i frustratedly cry placing my head in my palms. i felt jack moving closer to me, "stop jack, get away from me, i hate you" i cry a little more desperately. now i hear whimpers but not from me but jack, he was crying and his never cried in front of me. "bella, please, i'm so sorry for fucking up tonight. but please don't hate me, i don't think i could live with you hating me" he cried and pleaded taking my hands in his. "jack why would you say that in front of everybody" i continue to sob into his shirt and he pulled me closer. "I know it was wrong, it didn't mean to say it out loud and it was still wrong to be thinking it, but i guess i was still shocked that this is real life and not a dream, that the only girl I've ever really loved is getting married to someone else. but if that is what will make you happy then I'm gonna have to learn to be ok with that. if that is what it takes to keep you in my life then that is the way it's going to be. bels you mean way too much to me to lose you, i love you" he comforted me, patting my hair down and kissed my forehead.
i finish crying into his shirt, "i'm still mad but i forgive you, and yes benji makes me extremely happy and i'm so happy he proposed. once you give him a chance you will see, thank you jack and love you too my little silly bean of a bestie" and he had a sad smile on his face but agreed to giving benji a chance. now that we both finished our crying fest we moved back inside the house where more guests come up to me and congratulate me on the engagement and to see the ring. jack left me to go stand with johnson, sending me a small smile as i do my part as the bride to be.
