Part 16

"You saw him?" Corbyn pushed past Jack and kneeled next to you.

"Yeah.... but it was almost like he wasn't here completely, like last year if he showed up he would appear then disappear, but this time he like turned into ash...," you frown, sitting up.

"Well, you kind of stopped talking midway through a sentence, your eyes rolled to the back of your head and you fell out of the booth seizing....," Jonah whispered worriedly.

"I— what?" You look down at your hands, they were shaking nervously.

"Yeah... you looked like Jack when he turned half-demon for the first time...," Corbyn whispered with a look of disgust.

"Minus the crazy amount of pain that comes with my fucking wings stretching and ripping my skin from my back every time....," Jack smiles.

"So graphic," Kate whispered to him and he nodded.

"So, what do we do then?" You look around at the group.

"I think we have to wait till you see him again, did you hear what he said to you?" Jonah questioned.

"He just said a stupid comment and then turned into fucking ash...," you shrugged, pulling yourself up with the help of Corbyn holding onto your arm.

"What was the comment?" Zach whispered sitting next to you in the booth.

"Nothing important.... just something stupid about Jack...," you assure.

"Okay, yeah we don't need to know....," Corbyn nodded, Jack flashing him the middle finger.

"Should we leave and re-cooperate at the academy again?" Daniel asks, poking the table with a fork.

"No, we have to wait.... I'm getting a cheeseburger," Zach whispered, folding his hands together.

"And I'm getting french fries and a milkshake....," Jack admitted leaning back into the booth seat and placing his arms behind his head.

"We don't have to wait for that...," Corbyn reassured.

"Yeah, we do... I want my burger," Zach whined, flipping a menu open and closed.

"I don't really care if I get anything...," Jack shrugs.

"But I paid for it!" Jonah points to his chest looking over at Jack confused.

"I know... that's why I said I don't care," Jack admits, placing his feet on top of the table.

Zach's cheeseburger finally arrives and everyone waits for him to finish it while Jack munches on a couple french fries.

"Okay, we're going!" Corbyn exclaimed pulling himself up from the table and walking out of the diner; Daniel followed along with Jonah, Kate, and Zach.

"Are you done?" You whisper to Jack, staring at him picking at his french fries.

"Yeah...," he pushed the fries in front of him and got up.

You quickly put on your jacket and walked out of the diner along with Jack very close behind, he placed a hand on your ass, squeezing it, and keeping his hand hovering there.

"Why do you keep doing that?" You turn to him.

"Doing what?" He asks pretending to be confused.

You take his hand off of your butt, "You don't get anymore.... we're not dating and it's not fair to me...," you continue walking.

"Hey.... that's not what you said last night!" He says catching back up to you.

"Yeah, but that's because I thought that it would be beneficial for both of us.... kinda thought you'd take me back... as usual I was wrong....," you sigh.
