I'm Out Of His League (Jack Griffo fanfic) COMPLETED - EDITING

Chapter 15

{Melanie Fox}

Our lips move in sync slowly and I was starting to get a hang of it. He didn't push too far. He stayed at his limit and that made me happy. I pull back from the kiss, smiling. It was finally time to show the winners of the competition. Jack looked at me. It wasn't with happiness or excitement. It was...empty.

"Jack?" I began.

He looks away and runs a hand through his hair. "Look, Mel. No, that was mistake. That kiss was a mistake. Never should've happened. And it cannot happen again." He stated.

My fast beating heart came to halt and shattered in millions of pieces. I stared at him, dumbfounded. And as cliche as I was, I punched his chest rapidly a lot of times. "Jerk! Jerk! Jerk!" I screamed, but not making it that loud to let the whole auditorium hear me. I stopped punching him and looked at him in the eyes. "I thought you were better than this. I can now see that I was wrong. What an idiot I am. Falling for a jerk." I scoffed.

"If I was jerk, you wouldn't have liked me in the first place." He muttered.

"You kissed me!" I retorted.

"And you kissed back." He shot back. He places his hand on his lips and dramatically wiped off an invisible mark on his lips. "Probably the worst I've ever had."

I resisted the urge to murder him right on the spot. Instead, I let my tears flow down my face. I walked away, heading out the auditorium. I wiped my tears using my fingers. I slipped my phone out of my bag and my fingers jittered as I tried to contact Anna.

"Mel! Where are you? Are you with Jack?" Anna answers, clearly with a worried tone in her voice.

"I was with Jack. I'm at the Ryman. Please get me. I don't like it here." I reasoned.

"Okay, we're on our way."

I held the urge to cry. I thought he finally realized his feelings for me. I thought he finally see me for who I truly am. I thought it was time. I thought it was the moment. But it wasn't. Why didn't I see this coming?

Matt's car pulled over to where I was. I glanced at my back, hoping that Jack would run to me for forgiveness. But it was empty. So I hurriedly ran inside the car.

"Where's Jack?" Matt asked.

"I don't know. Hopefully he moved to Mars." I muttered sarcastically.

"Should we go get him?" Anna says, holding the car handle.

"If he can get himself in here, he can get himself out of here. Let's go." I said, beginning to be impatient. Matt and Anna looked at other. Then, we head off home.

As soon as we got home, I made sure I wouldn't get bombarded with questions. I quickly ran into my room and locked myself in. Someone knocked on my door a couple of times.

"Mel, you can't lock yourself in forever." Anna called out. "We're sharing it?"

Right, I forgot about that. I dragged myself up from the bed. I unlocked the door and let Anna in.

"Spill." She snapped.

I sigh. "We kissed."

"Oh my gosh!" She squealed doing a little happy dance. "Then what's with the face? And all that Jack stuff?"

"He... He was rude." I muttered. "I didn't understand. I thought he liked me back. But he said that it was mistake. That it was the worst kiss he ever had."

"That jerk!" Anna yelled.

"Anna, don't. I don't want to be tangled in some kind of drama." I replied.
