The Choice // Jack Gilinsky

Chapter Seven

I grinded on all types of men at the club but I couldn't really control myself, I mean I was wasted. I made out with almost everyone I grinded on. I remember the night ended when Jack came over to me and said "Come on Amy, you can barely stand up lets go back to the hotel" I used his arm to steady me as we walked back to the hotel. It's s good thing I came with Jack because he was smart to not drink as much as me to make sure we made it back to the room. It was about 3:50 am when we got back to the hotel room.

This wasn't the first time Jack and I got drunk together so he knew that I couldn't stop laughing when I got drunk. When we made it to the room he led me to the bed and I collapsed not able to contain my laughter while Jack went to the bathroom and I heard him start to take a shower. I thought I would be sound asleep by the time he got out but I was pretty aware of myself but still not able to control myself. I was singing and laughing to myself on the bed when I heard him turn the shower off. I kept singing and lauging quietly when Jack walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel and being in my drunken stupor I said "Damn Gilinsky you look fineeeeeeeee" in between giggles, his face blushed when I said that and he said "I thought you were asleep...I'll just grab my clothes and go change in the bathroom" he quickly walked over to his bag "No no no, come here Gilinsky and help me get my dress off" I started hysterically laughing when I said that and Jack stood there unsure how to react "Jack I have a confession" I started to get tired and closed my eyes, Jack came and sat next to me "Amy what is it" his curiosity overcame the fact that he was only wearing a towel "I like you Gilinsky" I started laughing after I said it and then rolled over and knocked out.

I woke up bright and early at 6am and ran to the bathroom to throw up. I only threw up twice before Jack was there rubbing my back and holding my hair back. After an hour of throwing up I was able to lean against the bath tub. Jack moved so that he was sitting next to me "Are you okay?" He asked with such sincerity, I shook my head and felt the tears start coming Jack turned to me and wiped the tears away from under my eyes I looked up into his brown eyes and defined jaw line "I know it hurts but it will get better" he leaned in and kissed my forehead causing chills to run through my whole body "I'll go down to the lobby and get you some water" I nodded and watched as he stood up and walked out of the bathroom. When I heard the hotel room door close I started crying again because my memories of the night were starting to come back bit by bit to me and the last thing I can remember was telling Jack that I liked him but I passed out so I don't know how he reacted. What if I ruined our friendship by getting too drunk and saying how I really feel? I heard the hotel room open again and I wiped away my tears as fast as I could.

"Here Roberts" Jack said handing me the water "Thanks" I didn't realize how thirsty I was until I drank the water. "Hey let's get you into something a little more comfortable" I looked down seeing I was still in my dress from last night he helped me up and brought me over to the bed. He went to the closet and brought me my bag, I got my Advil out and took two pills, I was about to pour two more into my hands but Jack took them away from me I groaned in anger even though I'm glad he did that because even in my norml state of mind if I felt sick I would try to take medicine until I felt better, I also got very depressed in 10th grade and when I almost downed bottles of cough syrup no body trusted me to take medicine alone. I looked through my bag and pulled out my leggings but I couldn't find the hoodie I thought I packed. I started to cry and Jack pulled me into his arms "Whats wrong Amy?" He asked running his fingers through my hair "I feel like crap and I don't have a hoodie and all I want to wear is leggings and a hoodie and now I can't" I couldn't control all the tears that came Jack leaned me up against the back of the bed and went to his clothes and grabbed his hoodie and handed it to me "Gilinsky you don't need to do this for me" I said wiping away my tears "Roberts, I want to do this for you" I smiled as he got up and went to the bathroom. I got changed and then crawled under the covers. Jack came and got into the other side of the bed and stared at the empty tv screen for a while before speaking "Amy I know you might not be in your right mind at the moment and you definatley were not in your rigt mind  last night, but last night you told me a really big secret and I'm ready to tell you who I like." My heart started racing and I turned toward him with a very confused expression "Amy Roberts you are the girl I have a crush on and the only reason I didn't want to tell you right away was because I didn't want to ruin our friend ship and I just hope that what you said last night is how you really feel." my heart started racing, I thought I ruined our friendship but I actually opened up a doorway to a new different kind of relationship. I smiled and turned to face him, I looked up at him and saw how nervous he looked "Gilinsky, I meant what I said last night and trust I'd love to stay up and do cute romantic things but my headache is not getting better and you won't let me take more advil so I just want to take a nap" he smiled at me "ok babe" I smiled and put my head on his lap and he played with my hair until I fell asleep.
