Café; Jack Avery

Chapter 94

Maggie's POV
"Aria hurry up your gunna be late" I say trying to rush her out

"Dylan's probably already at the restaurant" I add

"I'm going" she says and heads out the door.

Since aria left for her date it's just me at the apartment.

I decide to text Corbyn

Me: hey

Corbyn: hey Maggie, I know you probably don't want to talk to jack right now and trust me I understand why but he's really lost without you Maggie. It's driving him crazy that you won't hear him out. Please just consider talking to him?

I don't reply after that.

A part of me wants to hear jack out, it's difficult not to. Because you can't just go from loving someone to not in a week.

I hesitate as I type in his number since I deleted his contact. He answers

"Maggie" he sounds surprised

"Can we please talk?" He asks

"Ok can you come over in like 10?" I ask

"Yeah of course I'll see you then. Bye I love you" he replies and I hang up, I love you?

I then get a text from him

Jack: sorry about that, I'm just so used to saying it.

Arias POV

I arrive at the restaurant and see Dylan already there, just how Maggie predicted.

I walk over to our table and sit down

"Hey Dylan" I say with a smile

"Hey" He replies returning the smile.

We order our food and get to know each other a bit more.

Our food arrives and we begin to eat.

"So how long have you known Maggie?" He asks me

"Me and her go way back" I say and the memory of me dating jack appears in my mind, how could I ever do that to her?

I was younger and reckless I guess?

We continue eating.

Jacks POV

I knock on the door, Maggie opens it.

"You can come in" she says letting me in.

"Maggie I'm so sorry for everything, I know I fucked up so many times but your always the one I've loved. My feelings towards you never changed even when I thought they did, they were still there Maggie. I love so much Maggie I need you to know that. I was so jealous of the thought of you being with someone else it caused me to do something that I shouldn't have done, I hurt you Maggie and I'm so incredibly sorry for it" I say on the verge of tears

"Jack I wanna forgive you I really do. But how do I know you won't do this again? You've done this too many times. Jack you make me happy but you've also hurt me so many times. I just don't know what to do anymore." She says as a tear slides down her cheek.

It hurts seeing her like this, especially because I caused it.

"I-I think we should just take a break from each other for a while" she says wiping away the tear.

"I think this is the best for the both of us right now" she says sniffling.

Maggie's POV

The second those words leave my mouth tears start slipping down his cheeks.

It hurts doing this, but it's the best for the both of us.

"No Maggie, the best for me is being next to you, being able to make you happy" He says

"Jack I still love you, but I can't be with someone who's hurt me repeatedly. I accept your apology but we need to take a break" I repeat

"I'm not going to give up on us Maggie" he says sniffling

"Please Maggie just one more chance, I can't live without you, god I love you so much Maggie. Just please don't do this" he says holding my hand.

At this point we were both crying.

It hurts doing this, but I have to.

"goodbye jack" I say holding back my tears as he walks towards the door.

"I love you Maggie, more than you'll ever know" he says as tears slip down his cheeks, he walks out.

The second the door closes I fall to my knees and break down crying.

Arias POV
"Thanks for tonight" I tell Dylan

"yeah no problem" he replies.

I go in for a kiss but he pulls away, I really regret doing that now.

"I'm sorry aria" he says

"No it's okay" I quickly say

"You were an amazing date aria. But I'm not sure if we can go on another date" he says.

Right then and there I just wanted to go home.

"w-why not?" I stutter

"I'm so sorry but I think I might like Maggie" he says barely whispering.

Tears start forming in my eyes, but I'm not gunna let him see me cry.

"ok" I manage to say and start walking home, thankfully it wasn't to far.

As I'm walking I can't help but feel dumb, of course he would choose maggie. It's always Maggie.

She always gets the guy no matter what. She always gets everything.

She got jack, Luke and now Dylan.

I didn't realize I was crying until I saw myself through a store window.

I'm a complete mess.

I don't know if I should be angry or sad.

I arrive home and open the door.

There I see Maggie sitting down on the couch.

"How did it go?" She asks but she's not facing me.
