You're My Forever

The Next Day...(Veronica's P.O.V)

When I woke up this morning, I honestly just felt like turning over and going back to sleep. I felt very depressed and upset. I felt like crying but it was like I ran out of tears or something.

At the same time though, I just wanted to get out of bed and get today over with. I was going to have to go back to school sooner and see Jack sooner or later so might as well just go now. 

I sat up in bed and rubbed my eyes that were a little puffy from all the crying. After that, I looked down and my eyes immediately moved to my tattoo. I sighed as I continued to look at it.

Of course I didn't regret getting the tattoo, even after what happened with Jack but it hurt to look at. I knew that eventually Jack and I would come back on good terms, whether that meant as friends or more but as of right now, neither of those were happening any time soon.

After thinking for a while, I got up from bed and went to my closet to get dressed. I got dressed in a black fitted sweatshirt with black ripped jeans. I kept my hair inside the sweatshirt and put the hood over my head. I brushed my teeth, then drove to school. 

Jackson's P.O.V... 

I drove to school a bit early today because I knew Ema did that and I just had to attempt to fix everything. I pretty much sped the whole drive there because I woke up feeling very angry again.

Once I got to school, I walked around quickly, trying to find Ema. I found her in the gym hall, talking to Dara. I didn't hesitate to walk up to them.

Right when she turned to me as I walked up to her, I could see the slight fear in her eyes. I looked over at Dara.

"Leave." I said to Dara bluntly. "Why?" She furrowed her eyebrows. "Just get the fuck out." I told her loudly and firmly but not in a shouting tone. Usually I'm not this mean to people who haven't done anything to me but when I say I was mad, I was fucking MAD. "Good luck.." Dara mumbled to Ema while sighing before walking away.

Once she left, I turned back to Ema. 

"Give me your phone." I said to her firmly, holding out my hand. "What, why?" She said quickly, also sounding a little nervous. "Just give me your goddamn phone!" I shouted at her, feeling myself turning a little red again. "Ok!"

She quickly got her phone out of her pocket and unlocked it before giving it to me. 

I was quick to go to her messages app. Almost at the top of her text messages log, there was a chat conversation with a person called '❤Jack❤'. I scrolled a tiny bit lower and found my real text conversation with her. 

I scrolled back up a tiny bit so both of the contacts were visible on the screen before quickly grabbing my phone from my back pocket. I had to take a picture of this so I could prove to Roni that it wasn't me who sent those flirty messages to her. 

I quickly got on the camera app and held my phone over Ema's. "What are you doing?!" Ema said just as I was about to take the picture as she quickly grabbed her phone from my hand.

That just made me ten times more angry. 

"Give it back!" I shouted at her. "No!" She shouted back at me, putting her now locked phone in  her back pocket. 

"Why the fuck would you do that to me Ema?" It was like a sudden switch turned on inside me that made me suddenly really sad now instead of mad. I gripped the roots of my hair with both hands as tears began filling my eyes to the max, making my vision blurry. "She means literally everything to me, w-why would you do this?!" My voice began cracking a tiny bit because I was on the very brink of crying as a tear fell down from my eye.
