You're My Forever

Cry | 48

A Week Later... 

I haven't cried for s pretty long while now and I was starting to get a bit concerned for myself. I still felt every bit of pain since the day I lost Jack but I just wasn't crying physically anymore. Somedays I just laid in bed, feeling the need to cry but it just wasn't happening. It was very confusing... 

But anyway, once my alarm went off this morning, I got out of bed and went to my closet to get dressed. I put on a black cropped t-shirt with grey sweatpants. I put my hair half up half down, brushed my teeth, then drove to school. 

Lunch... 

Today I just didn't feel like talking to anybody at all. That included during lunch. So instead of sitting with my friends, I decided to find a table by myself in the cafeteria. Since I didn't feel hungry, right when I sat down, I put my head down on the table and wrapped my arms around it. 

I again felt like crying but of course, no tears managed to form.

Griffin's P.O.V... 

Jack, Calum, Dean, Elijah and I sat together at a table in the cafeteria once lunch started. This was Jack's first time sitting with us again since that day he left when Elijah made him mad. He was still mad at him today but he decided to sit with us anyway. 

All of us were just chilling, talking to each other, when I noticed someone in just three tables over from us. Even though her head was down, I could still somehow recognize her to be Veronica. 

Not going to lie, I kind of wanted to talk to her.. I mostly was on Jack's side but there was also a tiny piece of me that thought that she possibly could've been telling the truth. I had a feeling she wouldn't talk to me since we weren't close but it was worth a try. 

And as for Jack, I didn't see why he'd care if I talked to her when he didn't want anything to do with her anyway. But I guess it'd be best for me to ask before going either way.

"Jack, Roni's alone. I'm gonna talk to her, yeah?" I said, beginning to stand up. He looked up at me. "I don't care man.. Go ahead. Just don't even think about talking about how much of a freaking mess I am with her.." He said, sighing. "Cool." I said as I fully got up from my seat. 

I walked away from my table and over to where she was. Even when I got to her, she couldn't see me since her head was still down. I sat down at the seat across from her and she didn't hear me because the cafeteria was loud. 

Veronica's P.O.V... 

"Veronica." I heard after like twenty minutes of my head being down. I recognized that voice but I couldn't remember exactly whose it was. Slowly, I looked up. I was a bit surprised to see Griffin, one of Jackson's friends.

"W-What're you doing here..?" I asked him a bit quietly, clearly sounding confused as I slowly sat up properly. "I wanted to talk to you." He said, shrugging a bit. "About?" I asked him, leaning back against my seat. "You know what about." He said, crossing his arms. 

"I'm assuming you're on Jack's side of this?" I asked him, sighing. "How can I not be?" He said, not sounding angry right now though. "That makes sense but if you're here to scold me or anything then I'm really not in the mood for it right now..." I said quietly. "I'm not here to shout at you. If possible, I was just curious to hear your side of the story." He told me. 

I didn't see why I'd have to tell him anything but he seemed genuine and he wasn't being rude so I decided why not. So I began explaining everything from my side of the story, including how Lucas made a fool of me for over a month. But even after explaining everything, I still couldn't somehow begin to tear up. Have I cried out all my tears or something?
