Jack Avery | Secret Love 2

19.

Taylor's P.O.V

I gave him a funny look and he just shook his head, "how could you not tell us about you and Jack? AGAIN?" He said with emphasis on the 'again'.

"I was scared Corbyn I didn't know if i could tell you guys" I said as I continued to cry, "I thought we were closer than that Taylor, you know we would've all been beyond happy for you two" he said effortlessly as if he was giving up on me.

"We were going to tell you guys when the time was right, we aren't even officially anything yet" I whimpered, "so what, you waited to tell us on the night we'd planned to spend for my girlfriend before she moves back to the other side of the country? This whole night has just turned into the Taylor show" he said adding a chuckle as he shook his head.

"Corbyn stop, that's enough" Christina said as she furrowed her eyebrows at Corbyn, and I let another tear roll down my face as I thought of how selfish this whole situation is when we were clearly here for Christina. "I'm so sorry Christina, I'm a mess. He's right this is your night" I said wiping my tears away, "It's fine don't worry about it, i just want you to be ok" she said as she fixed up my hair.

"Can we all just at least be nice to each other for the rest of the night? Please?" Zach said with sadness in his tone. "Yes. I'm sorry guys, I really am. I'm sorry I dragged you into this mess, I should've never come back I'm just a burden in your lives and it's not healthy. I'm sorry Jack and I ruined your guys' night" I faked a smile as I began walking away from them.

I texted for an Uber as I heard them yell out to me, "Taylor!" Daniel yelled as well as Christina and Zach. I stopped and turned around, "your coming home with us and we're going to sort out what to do from there, we will find Jack and we will work this whole thing out ok?" Jonah said as him, Christina and the guys walked up and hugged me.

"Thank you" I smiled as I hugged them back and cancelled my uber.

We pulled up at the why don't we boys' home and Stopped the car, "so Daniel, Zach and I are going together to go look for Jack and Christina and Corbyn are going together. Tay can you stay at the house in case he comes back here?" Jonah said turning around to face me.

"Yeah that's fine" I smiled as I got out, Corbyn and Christina got out and went in Jacks car while the boys stayed in the SUV. I smiled and waved as I walked up to the house and opened it using Jacks key he left with me.

I walked in and the house was dark and empty, it felt lonely. I locked the door as I walked up stairs to make sure Jack wasn't in his room, I noticed there was a hoodie missing from his hoodie pile that I had seen there earlier today. Has he already been home?

Then it came to me, I know where Jack is.

I walked down stairs and out into the backyard, I went around down the side of the house and climbed up the ladder that lead to the roof. That's when I saw him, he was sitting down bundled up in blankets with a tired face and red puffy eyes. He was holding a beer bottle in his hand.

I sighed and tears started to well up in my eyes again as I looked at him, I climbed up onto the roof and walked over to him. I sat down next to him and looked out at the beautiful city that lay before us.

"What are you doing up here Taylor?" He said with sadness taking over him, "everyone's worried about you Jack, they've gone out to look for you" I said with guilt. "Well then why didn't you go with them?" He said brushing me off as he held hid knees up to his chest and looked out into the night.

"Jack stop, please. I just want to talk, I don't want to fight I just want to talk" I said as I watched him. "What is there to talk about? You fucked up, big time. I don't know what to tell you Taylor, I'm mad. I'm really fucking mad" he said in a frustrated tone.

"I know you are Jack and you have every right to be, I'm not going to sit here and try and tell you what I did doesn't matter because it does. It was wrong and I should never have done it, but it was 3 years ago and we weren't together. It was an impulse move and Jonah and I both regretted it straight away, not once did I catch feelings for him. How could I ever? We Almost had a kid for Christ's sake I would never do that to you. Believe me when I say it's you, only you. It always has been" I said as I fiddled my thumbs and looked out into the distance.

He looked at me with furrowed eyebrows and the look of relief on his face.
