And Then I Met You (J.G.)

22. Trust

Chapter 22

You had decided to try and ignore how strange Kelly had been acting lately, because you really needed a friend right now. The tv was off and you were sitting on the couch on your phone. You heard a simple knock at your door. You walked over and swung it open.

"Thank god you're-"

you stood there with one hand on the doorknob, and the other holding your phone. Your grip tightened on the doorknob, wanting to slam the door shut.

"Why are you here?"

Standing there was Jack in the shirt he knew you loved on him. You used to always tell him how it made him look like he actually cares about what clothes he puts on in the morning. Most boys don't.

"I wanted to talk to you. After what happened I-"

his voice trailed off and he reached his hand up to the back of this neck. He looked up at you you with hurt in his eyes.

"You deserve to know the full story."

He brought his arm back down by his side and you wanted so desperately to hug him. To just forgive him and feel his arms wrapped around your body, pulling you closer again, but you couldn't. Jack cheated on you and broke your heart. There was no chance you could ever trust him again.

"May I come in?" You thought about it for a moment.

"I guess."

You wouldn't be able to trust him, but you did deserve to know the truth. You led Jack to your living room and sat down on one end if the couch. He walked over and sat on the other end. You sat there in silence with your hands cold and tears rimming your eyes.

"Hey, remember that one time when we were watching tv and nothing good was on so we started flipping through channels, and we came across that weird game show and that mane ugh the cowboy hat walked into that-"

"How could you?"

"What?"

You looked up at him while tears started falling down your cheeks.

"Tell me Jack,"

you wiped away the tears with your sleeve. "did you know you were going to have sex with her before, or after, you had sex with me." You felt your hands getting sweaty. Something they almost never did.

"I didn't mean-"

"And tell me how you knew that this, this would be the thing that would hurt me the most. It was hard enough for me to trust another guy after what happened with- with- and then you, you had to go and fuck everything up for me."

You struggled to get the last few words out.

"Now-"

you looked at your hands and saw them shaking.

"Now, I'll never be able to trust you again. I want you to leave."

You stood up and started walking to your room.

"Olivia, wait!"

You started walking faster and faster before opening the door to your room. Just as you sat down on your bed, Jack walked in.

"I thought I told you to go!"

He walked over to you and sat down on your bed. He enveloped your small hands in his and looked you straight in the eyes.

"I'm never leaving you again."

Okay so I know it's been a long time since I updated and not much happened in this chapter but, the first two weeks of school are over (yay!) so now I'll try to update at least once every two weeks.

Would you rather have me publish shorter chapters, once a week? Or longer chapters once every two weeks?

Again, I cannot thank you guys enough for the reads, votes, and comments, it makes my day when I see you guys commenting about how you like my story or just your reaction to something that's happened in a chapter. 40+ reads is absolutely incredible and I love you all so much! Hope everyone has been having a good start to the school year (as good as going back to school can be) and thank you again for all the support.

Xx, Olivia
