You're My Forever

Hunch | 33

Friday... 

I got out of bed and went to get dressed for today. I put on a grey cropped t-shirt  with some black ripped jeans. I put my hair half up, half down, brushed my teeth, then went to school with Jack.

I went up to my travel and tourism class and sat beside Jeremy. Both of us greeted each other happily. 

"So have you decided whether or not you're gonna come on the trip?" Jeremy asked me. "I mean.. I guess I'll just go. Maybe it really will be more fun with you and plus I don't want to miss out on any school work." I told him. I have been thinking about it for a while and decided to just go because what would I be doing better if I stayed? 

"Wow, really? Well great, I'll look forward to spending more time with you then." He smiled. "Yeah, it'll be fun." I smiled as well.  

That Evening... 

Jack and I had our movie night tonight at 9 but right now it was around 7 and Mrs. Meyer asked me to come over to her house because she wanted to talk to me about something.

I was very confused because I had no idea what she'd want to talk about. Did I do something wrong? Was it about Jack again? I had absolutely no idea. I guess I just had to go there and find out. 

So I changed into sweats, tied my hair up into a messy bun, then headed over to Jack's house to meet with Mrs. Meyer. 

I knocked on the door and Mrs. Meyer opened it. "Hi Roni." She smiled as she let me in. "Hi Mrs. Meyer." I smiled as well. Well, she was smiling so hopefully that meant that I didn't do anything wrong...

Mrs. Meyer took me to the family room and we sat beside each other on the couch. 

"What did you want to talk to me about?" I asked her, still with a smile. "Jack." She said bluntly. "Oh.. What about him?" I asked her. "Remember when you told me you have feelings for him?" She asked me. "Yeah." I said with a small nod. 

"I strongly believe he feels the same for you." Mrs Meyer told me firmly but also with a small smile. I almost laughed hearing this. "Yeah, sure.." I said sarcastically with a small chuckle. "I'm serious Roni. I mean, obviously I don't know 100%, but I strongly believe he does." She told me. "No he doesn't Mrs. Meyer.. Unlike me, he stuck to what we're meant to be which is just friends." I told her. 

"He's my son, I can tell he likes you too." She said, crossing her arms and smirking a little bit. "If he liked me back then he would've told me by now since he knows I like him." I crossed my arms as well. "But the thing is, he doesn't even know he has feelings for you. It hasn't come to hi mind that he likes his best friend." She explained.

"Why even do you think that he'd like me back?" I asked her, furrowing my eyebrows. "Because unlike you, I can see the way he looks at you. Roni, when you're looking at him all dazed, he looking at you the exact same way. He looks at you like you're his entire world..." he spoke quietly with a soft smile on my face as she held my hand in both of hers. 

I sighed. Why was she telling me this? It was only making me more sad and frustrated that Jack didn't like me back. I just couldn't believe what she was telling me, it was too bizarre. 

"Mrs. Meyer, please... don't tell me these things.. I just, won't be able to believe that Jack likes me too unless I hear it from him, which I know I won't.." I sighed again, almost beginning to tear up. She sighed as well, nodding. 

"I'm sorry, Roni.. I just thought maybe I should tell you what I've seen from the way Jack acts around you.." She told me, sounding very apologetic. "It's alright," I smiled a little bit. "I appreciate you telling me." I told her. 

She smiled a bit as well as she pulled me into a hugged. I took a quiet deep breath as I hugged her back.

Anyway, after I finished with Mrs. Meyer, I went back home since it was only around 7:30. The next hour and a half went by pretty quickly. Soon enough it was 9 and it was time for Jack and I's movie night. 

I got dressed in my pajamas before going outside and into the treehouse. I went up there, turned on the lamp, then sat down on the pillows on the ground. Jack showed up about two minutes later. He sat right beside me on the pillows. We both greeted each other with smiles.

I just then remembered that I didn't yet tell Jack about my decision on going to Louisiana. So I decided to tell him right now. 

"Oh yeah, Jack." I said, turning to him. He looked at me. "I decided that I'm gonna go on the trip to Louisiana." I told him with a smile. 

Jackson's P.O.V... 

Was she freaking kidding me?! She was going to go on a three day trip to Louisiana with JEREMY?! Wow, did she even like me anymore? 

About a month ago, she gave me 100 points for her feelings for me.. Would she still give me 100 points? Well if I still had the 100 points right now, I definitely wouldn't when she came back from that stupid trip. 

Why did I care so much about my 100 points though? It's not like I could give her even 1 point back.. right..?

Veronica's P.O.V... 

"R-Really? But w-what about the fact that y-you've seen everything?" He asked me. "Yeah but, if I go then I definitely won't miss any school work. And also.. I think Jeremy would make the trip much more fun." I explained to him. 

"A-Alright well..have fun on the trip then.. I guess.." He smiled a little bit. "Thanks." I smiled, giving him a quick side hug. 

And so, after that, we got our movie on, laid down and watched.
