No Matter What ~ Jackxpenn

Chapter 22 - Done?

Jenn POV

Days continued to pass, and I still haven't told Jack. He should be done school this week so I guess I'll just wait until he comes back to LA so I can tell him in person. The thought scared me; what if he gets mad? I closed my eyes and shook my head. No Jenn, Jack loves you, he will forgive you, it was an accident. Everything will be fine.... Or will it?

Jack POV

I was so excited that I was done school. I never had to go back to hell ever again. Truth is, these past couple of months have been hard. I was called names and beat up sometimes for being the "youtube kid," and it was terrible. I have come home with bruises that I could never explain truthfully to my family, not to mention how bad my self esteem was dropping from the insults I got almost everyday.

Usually, these kind of things don't bother me. I usually had a "I don't care what you think," attitude. I couldn't exactly explain why they got to me so much recently, put I have a feeling it has to do with being without Jenn. I thought of what Jenn the night we were on the roof; I saved her from giving up. In a way, she's saved me too. That's why it's so hard to be without her for so long. At that aside, I would get to see her anytime I wanted now that I was moving to LA.

Suddenly, I heard a knock on my apartment door. Ugh. I just remembered Claudia was taking me to the airport. I groaned, and opened the door. She was all over me, as usual. Finally, after what felt like the longest car ride ever, we made it to the airport.

I was just about to get out of the car, when her voice stopped me, "Hey Jack? I'm sorry, about everything. I really am. I know you love Jenn, and I wish the best for you two," she said, smiling slightly.

I sighed with relief. I thought she was going to say something else, thank god. I turned around, grabbing my bag from under the seat, "Thanks, Claudia," I said. I shut the car door and waved goodbye before walking into the airport.

Eventually, I had landed in LA, and I took an uber to my new apartment. As much as I wanted to see Jenn right away, I had to unpack and sort some stuff out at my new place.

I checked the time, 2:30 pm. Not bad. I quickly pulled out my phone and texted Jenn. I wish I could see her this very second, being able to hold her and kiss her cheek, telling her how much I missed her and that I loved her.

Jack: Hey Jenn Jenn, guess who's back in LA?

She responded almost instantly, as if she read my mind.

Jenn Jenn: Omg yay! Come to my place?

Jack: Sure baby. We can get some dinner later :)

I quickly got ready, making sure my hair was on point. The excitement built inside me as I drove to her apartment, jamming out and blasting music in my car. I'm pretty sure that I caught a few people's eyes, but I didn't care.

I went to knock on her door, but I stopped myself. I wanted to surprise her. I smirked, and opened the door, knowing she left it unlocked for me. I snuck into the apartment, making sure the door didn't slam as it closed. I stopped and listened for any noise. Then, I heard the sound of a door close in the back of her apartment; her bedroom.

I walked quietly up to her bedroom door, hiding in the small closet next to it. It was kinda gross in there; it was obvious Andrea and Jenn never cleaned it, but it was worth it for the reaction that came next.

I heard the bedroom door open, and footsteps heading down the hallway. I opened the closet door, and snuck up behind her, wrapping my arms around her waist and picking her up.

She screamed loudly, fighting to get out of my arms, not realizing who it was. I put her down safely on the ground, and she turned to face me with a scared look on her face. When she realized it was me, she laughed, and wrapped me into a tight hug. Her laugh was so cute, I missed hearing it while I was away from her.

"You scared me, Jacky!" She laughed, buring her head in my chest, and hugging me tighter.

I laughed too, and kissed the top of her head, "I'm sorry, baby. But I thought I would give you a little surprise," I admitted.

"Well, it was definitely a surprise!" She laughed, then looked up and me, "I missed you so much," she said.

"I missed you too, Jenny," I said, brushing her hair out of her face, making her blush a bit.

She leaned in for a short, but sweet kiss, then pulled away, taking my hand and leading me to sit on the couch with her.

"Mean girls?" she suggested.

"Of course, what else?" I laughed, wrapping my arms around her while she put her head on my shoulder as he movie began to play on her laptop.

We came back to her apartment after going out to dinner. We ended up going to Cheesecake Factory, one of both of our favourite restaurants.

Jenn and I were sitting on the couch, cuddled together in blankets watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians, when suddenly she looked up at me with a worried expression on her face, then looked away.

"What's wrong?" I said, turning her face back towards me.

"I... I need to tell you something," she said, shutting off the tv.

I turned my body to face her, "What is it?" I said, kind of worried myself. What did she want to tell me?

She opened her mouth, then closed it along with her eyes in pain. I could tell that whatever it was, it was hurting her to keep it inside.

She took a deep breath, and said it so fast I almost didn't catch it, "Jack, I'm really sorry but, I kissed.... Jc," she said looking down.

My heart dropped to my stomach. Wait what? How could this happen? I found myself lost for words. How? When? Why? A million questions swirled around in my head, even though I could not manage to actually get one word out.

Eventually I closed my eyes, and managed to speak, "Jenn, I don't understand," I said, holding back tears.

Why would Jenn do this to me? I thought about what Claudia said. Maybe it was a sign all along, and I was too stupid to listen. Suddenly, fury built up inside me, realizing what had occured; Jenn kissed Jc, meaning she cheated on me.

Jenn looked up, and seeing the pain in my eyes she croaked, "Jack, I... Please just let me exp-"

Then, I cracked. I got enough bullshit at school, now with Jenn too. I didn't care how much fun I had tonight, or how much Jenn meant to me, I have to do this.

I bit my lip, trying to contain my anger, then spoke. "Jenn... We're done.." I said, almost in tears. It hurt so much to hear those words come out of my own mouth. I loved Jenn, and I thought... Well I thought she loved me too. But I guess not....

I ran out of her apartment, afraid to cry in front of her and got into my car. I hit the steering wheel with frustration. Why did this have to happen?
