Chapter Sixteen

Present Day

I pulled up to Jack's house, I parked on the side of the road, so I slowly got out looking for cars. I pulled my purse over my shoulders and walked his drive way.

I was wearing Victoira's Secret long sleeve, grey joggers, ugg boots, a black northface jacket and my glass with my hair in a messy bun, without makeup. I felt like shit, I wasn't sick, just really lazy.

I walked inside to see Mr and Mrs Gilinsky, I said hey to them. They told Jack was getting the shower right before I walked in. I said thanks and walked to his room. "Jack, I'm here!" I said walked over to his bed and fell into his covers.

I turned on his xbox and clicked on YouTube , I typed in a song Jack and Johnson made that people enjoy, they had many out, but my favorite was Coldhearted. As I listened to the song I played on my phone.

Jack's phone vibrated, so grabbed it and unlocked it. It was a message from Cole. Someone I've never heard of. I pulled out my phone and called Sam.

"Hello, Layla."

"Hi, um Sam who is Cole?"

"Ha, that's a code name Jack, Johnson and I have. Why?"

"Sam, what does the code word stand for?"

"A girl... Wait, shit, Layla! Does Jack have a Cole in his phone?!"

"Yes, I'll call you later." I hung up and tossed my phone on the bed and grabbed Jack's phone.

Call me a sneaky girlfriend, but I have trust issues. The last thing I need is Jack to cheat on me. Plus, he told me that I could got through his phone when ever I wanted too, I knew his password to many things.

I unlocked to the messages and braced myself and started scrolling up. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, and it brought me to tears. Pictures were sent, and it was another girl. I knew it. I couldn't find the girls name, so I kept scrolling until the girls name was reached.

- Ashley, I had fun with you the other night. Remember to stay on the downlow. I miss your body, ;). I'll see you when Lay's at a soccer game.

That message was when I was at practice and he said he was going home. That means he sex after my birthday? With Ashley. He's fucking ex girlfriend.

The shower turned off, and a few minutes later he walked out in boxers and a t-shirt. He walked over towards me and tried to kiss me. I pressed my hand to his chest and pushed him away. "You okay?" He smirked and walked back towards the bathroom.

"I didn't realize you were gay, Jack?" I faked a short laugh. "And that gay people send pictures of a girls body?"

"What the hell are you talking about, Layla?" He walked back into the room. I let out a huff and held his phone in the air. He went silent and walked towards me. "Or that my body wasn't good enough for you."

"Layla-"

"No, but Ashley's is better, right? You know the girl that fucking cheated on you." I yelled. "How much sense does that make to you?"

"Layla, I don't know I was drunk."

"You were drunk after school? I know when you had sex with her." I stood steal and took a deep breathe. "Jack, I'm not going to waste my time on you, you really fucked up. I hope you have a great time with Ashley."

With that I walked out of his room, and he was screaming my name a couple times. I started crying, has I pasted his parents they stood up and asked me if I was okay. I nodded and ran out, "Jack Finnegan Gilinsky!" His dad screamed.

I was out in my car by now and I looked back at the door, David, Jack's dad, was holding him back from running out the door. I started the car and started driving off. I wasn't going home, if I did, I'd be coming back with my dad. I headed to Sam's, I took one last look in the rear view mirror and saw Jack standing in the road, with his hands in his hair.

I reached over to my purse and digged for my phone. I pulled it out and dailed Sam's phone number. I put the phone my ear and listened the dail tone and waited for him to answer.

"Are you okay?"

"No, Sam. It was fucking Ashley, like are you kidding me?"

"I'm sorry, Layla. I had no clue."

"You better hope you didn't have a clue, or I'd kick your ass for not telling me. I'm coming over."

"Um, okay."

I hung up and drove for a couple more minutes. I pulled into his drive way, I got out and walked to his door. I knocked and waited. His mom came to the door, with a smile then frowned. "Did Sam do something?" She instantly said.

"No.. no, I just really need him right now." I faked a smile, she nodded stepping away from the door. She let me in, I said thank you and ran upstairs to Sam's room. I busted in, scaring Sam. I stood there for a second, he stood up and I ran to him, wrapping my arms around him.

His hands connected to my back, and he held me close. He whispered in my ear that he loved me and Jack messed up. He was right, Jack did mess up and I don't know how to feel. I mean obvisouly I was sad and heart broken because I really liked him. I just couldn't beilieve he was like that.

I ended up lying to my dad and told him I was staying at Alexis', but Sam's mom said I could stay and use some of Sam's sisters old clothes for school tomorrow, and some to sleep in. I thanked them for understanding, and they told everything was going to be okay.

I took a bath in Sam's bathtub at like one in the morning. He was playing video games when we both should've been asleep. I had my knee's to my chest and my lips pressed to my knee's. My makeup was dry and crusty on my cheeks from crying. I cried more the tub, and Sam knocked on the door, then walked in.

"Layla, please stop crying. You're better then that to waste tears on some guy you can replace at any time." He said as he sat on the floor next to the tub.

"I'm sorry, Sam. I'm just really hurt." I looked over to him with my head still on my knee's.

"I know, babe. I know you're hurt, but with every rain comes a rainbow. Jack and you are the rain, and someone will be the rainbow." He grabbed my hand and held them to my knee so I wouldn't flash him. "Okay, I'm going to sleep, get out and get some sleep." He stood up and kissed my head. "If you want one of my shirts, they're in the closet."
