chapter thirty nine

Jacks pov
After that whole conversation, I shut my phone off and shoved my face into Brooklyn's pillow. Everything that I had said ran through my mind. I feel bad for being rude but I just get so much adrenaline around him.... I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to sit with him for 5 or 6 hours and not get so worked up. I love him but hate him at the same time.
I hadn't realized I fell asleep until until I felt someone shaking me like crazy.

"Get up Jack, we have to leave soon." Brooklyn said. I glared at him.

"I don't wanna go." My face went right back into the pillow.

"We have a reservation, Jack."

"If you don't get up I will pick you up and get you dressed myself." Sonny butted in.

"Fine....." I trailed off.

"Did you get my stuff?" I asked rubbing my eyes a bit.

"Yeah." They both said while Brooklyn threw my bag at me.

"Hurry up and get ready, the others will be here in 15 minutes." Sonny said as him and Brook walked out of the room and shutting the door behind them.

I groaned.

After a few minutes of procrastinatin,  I finally went through my bag and found a mildly nice top and a pair of black jeans then went to go fix my hair and all that.
When I was done with everything, I walked downstairs just as the doorbell ring. Brooklyn went to answer the door as I got behind him to see who it was.

It was Mikey.

"Hey Mike." Brook said.

"Hey." He paused for a second. "Andy and Rye will meet us there to keep our reservation. They figured Jack would take a while." He said.

"Okay sounds good. Is everyone ready?" Brooklyn asked Sonny and I, scanning the room.

"Yup." We both said as Sonny walked into the room.

"Let's go then." He said. We all got into Brooklyn's car because it was the biggest but of course he made me sit in the back with Mikey.

The ride was short. Really only 15 minutes; but it was still super awkward.

When we got to the restaurant, we told the hostess the name out reservation was under and he lead us to the table where Andy and Rye were.
The hostess left after telling us our waitress would be around shortly

As we sat down of course the couples sat together, so that left me to sit next to Mikey...again.

After a few minutes the waitress came to order out drinks.

"What can I get everyone to drink?" The waitress asked. She went through everyone and when she got to me, I responded with..

"Could I have the strongest drink you've got?"

Everyone looked at me with slight wide eyes.

"..I'll be back your guys drinks." Then she left.

"Why Jack?" Andy sighed.

"If I'm going to get through this night, I'm gonna need it." I said then slouched in my seat looking at the menu.

I could see Mikey shaking his head in the corner of my eye.

A few minutes later, the waitress came back with our drinks, then we ordered our food.

"Jack, have you decided if your moving back here yet?" Rye asked when the waitress left.

"Yeah. I think I'm going to move back. I just have to talk to my parents." I replied.

"If you need a place to stay you're always welcome." Brooklyn added.

"Thanks Brooky." He nodded.

No one really knew what to say at this point. The tension was two high.

"Okay, why did you drag me here if there was going to be nothing but awkwardness?" I asked Brooklyn.

"Well, first off, you made it awkward and second, we haven't talked to each other in a little." He responded.

"Don't blame it on me." I fought.

"You started it."

"Alright you two. Wasn't it you, Brooklyn, who said no arguing?!" Andy said looking at us.

"I meant it for them, not me." Brooklyn stated. Andy rolled his eyes.

I took a huge drink of alcohol in front of me.

Then everyone started a conversation while I slouched back into my seat again but this time I was on my phone.

After a few minutes of scrolling through instagram and twitter, I got a message from Sonny.

New messege from Sonnydrobertson

Sonnydrobertson- talk to him

Me- who??

Sonnydrobertson- you know who

Me- I have nothing to say to him.

Sonnydrobertson- just talk to him.

Sonnydrobertson- no arguing. We don't need to get kicked out of this place.
Seen

I looked up at Sonny and he gave me a "do it" look.

I sighed.

"Hey." I said to Mikey in a slightly quite voice.

"Hey?" He said more like a question.

"I didn't think you would want to talk to me." He looked up at me. His eyes looked so lit. Like he was in love.

" I don't... Sonny made me." He nodded his head flickering his eyes between both of mine and my lips. I couldn't take my eyes off of his. Their just so beautiful.
When the waitress came back, she had our food which made Mikey and I break contact. All the other boys were smirking at us.

After we were done, we decided to go to Brooklyn's house.

"Could I talk to you for a minute, Jack?" Mikey asked when we got inside. I nodded my head and walked to the kitchen. He followed.

"Go ahead." I told him hopping up on the counter top.

"I'm sorry.... I know I've said it so many times but you always told me that you would believe me when I mean it; and I do mean it."

"What about her?" I asked.

"I ended what ever was going on. I told her I didn't want to string her around and that she was a rebound. I told her I like you."

"You're forgiven." I smiled at him reaching my hand for him to take it. When he did, I pulled him between my legs, wrapped my arms around his neck, and kissed him.
He was taken a back a bit, but eventually kissed back wrapping arms around my waist, pulling me closer.

His lips were just as soft as I remembered. The kiss was slow but at a perfect rythme for us.
When we pulled away due to the lack of air, I rested my head against his smiling like a big dummy, he was too.

"I'm sorry I was being, in Brooklyn's words, "over dramatic"." I pulled my head away from his and looked him in the eyes. That same in love glow was in his eyes again.

"You were kind of being over dramatic." He smirked but smiled.

"Hey"

"Sorry." He leant back in but this time he just lightly brushed his lips against mine then pecked my lips.

"Come on." He grabbed my hand intertwining our fingers and walked me back to the living room where the others where. When we sat on the couch I immediately cuddled into his shoulder.

"Looks like you two made up." Andy smirked." I just nodded my head.

The last thing I remember about that night was Mikey kissing my forehead then I dozed off.
