Wrong Number Dude // JACHARY AU

Chapter 28

"Jack, when do you plan on going back to visit Zach?" Jordan asked, biting into his hash browns. Jack could feel the pain of hearing his name.

"I won't be." Jack's voice cracked, notifying how hurt he was. "I have no reason to look him in the eyes. He wouldn't even remember, what's the point?" Jack said, not making eye contact with Jordan.

"I'm going back in 2 weeks, I would consider-"

"I'm not going! He clearly hated Corbyn when he saw him! What honestly makes you think he would want to see me! Corbyn gave me clear instructions. Never to show my face to Zach. Zach is going to have a normal life without Corbyn, without Daniel, without Nate, without you, without me, without Andrea." Jack's voice raised, his heart racing.

"You let your guard down, and you all got hurt. I am not going to just forget our friend, and your boyfriend-"

"HE IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND, JORDAN." Jack yelled, throwing the glass plate that he was currently cleaning onto the ground, shattering into tiny pieces on the hard floor.

Jordan looked from the plate to Jack's face, which was flooding with tears and regret.

"You may want to forget the only person you truly loved, but I won't." Jordan cried out, seeing how Jack was already over the edge and going through a tough time.

Jordan gave in, walking past the broken plate and hugging Jack close. "I may be mad as hell right now, but to see you this way, it hurts me so fucking much. I have had a crush on you for over years, but it's obvious your person is out there and needs you. If you don't get them, I will lose all respect and love for you and giving up. That is not the Jack I loved. He wouldn't give up, he got what he wanted." Jordan whispered in Jack's ear, letting go of his friend and old crush, leaving him to think.

"Do I go..." Jack cried.
