Oh boy, I hope he was right.
And he was, for the most part.
I haven't heard from Jack in about, a week or so.
But I did get a text message today.
Jack💘: I know you really don't want to hear from me probably. but I just really need someone to talk to.. School has been a little rough with everything. I just want to hang out like before. just consider it?
I hate it when people say, 'like before'
It makes me think of the past and everything that occurred with it.
I text back saying:
"I would love to hang out. does five sound good to you? at your? "
He texted back almost instantly.
Jack💘: sounds perfect.
It was only 10 and only Cameron was home.
So I pushed myself up the stairs and knocked on his door.
"It's open," he said and I turned the knob and walked in.a
"Hi." He was sitting on his bed on his laptop, with one leg off the bed.
"What's up?" he asked smiling at me.
"Bored.." I looked around the room and then back at him. it was nice and neat. I sat on the bed.
"Same. just typing something for English." he typed really fast.
He closed his laptop and smiled at me.
"Done now." he smiled again, putting his laptop aside.
He stretched and sprawled out more on the bed.
"So," I started talking. He looked up at me and patted a spot next to him.
I scooted closer.
"Who's this girl you like at work?" I smirked and wiggled my eyebrows.
He chuckled and looked down.
"It's no one, really." Cameron slightly blushed.
"C'mon cam. pleeaassee tell meee" I pushed his shoulder
"I'm serious. there is no one."
"Then why di-"
"I'll explain later," he cut me off and I playfully rolled my eyes.

I changed and headed over to jacks.
I am only doing this because I kinda feel bad for him. plus I miss seeing him all the time. hopefully nothing occurs.
"Hi," Jack answered the door and smiled.
He had on a navy blue shirt with sweatpants, ruffled hair, plus his glasses.
"Hi." I replied back and he let me in.
I saw they had new pictures hanging around in their house. they looked like they were done recently.
"Well, come on," he widened his eyes at me then rolled them turning around and proceeding to walk up the stairs.
I stared at the back of him for a second then followed.
We went upstairs to his room.
He went over to his desk and sat in his spinny chair.
"So what have you been up to lately..? you know, with your "beloved boyfriend" Nash?" he scoffed and did the quotations with his hands.
My mouth dropped. it was defiantly not like him to ever snap and say something like that.
"Umm," I brought in my eyebrows.
He chuckled and went on,
"What do you see in him anyways? he's a jerk and I treated you way better." he twisted around in his chair.
"Excuse me? who's the one I caught cheating on me?" I folded my arms.
"That was a mistake babe. plus she was a hideous beast anyway." He rolled his eyes.
Okay, something was up. something wasn't right. He never ever acted like this.
"No she isn't Jack. and don't call me babe." I scowled at him.
"I will call you whatever I want," he snapped, raising his voice.
" And oh yes she was, and you aren't far from her.." He said a little more quietly.
That hit me like a wall.
I turned around Nd went or the door handle.
His cold fingers wrapped around my wrist and pulled me closer.
I could smell alcohol in his breath.
"Jack your drunk." I said surprised.
"I only had a couple drinks. I am not." he gripped tighter.
"Let me go." I kicked him where it hurts and booked it out of his room.
I quickly drove away back to my house.
