" I've changed "

Next Day

Chapter 27: Next Day

Jackie's POV-

I wake up on the couch. I remember what happened yesterday, it was the best day of my life but then I remember the end. I can't change what happened. I feel the tears in my eyes. I miss you already Ryan. But I have to pretend like nothing's wrong and hope none of my friends ask about him. Just thinking about it makes me want to punch something. I go to my room. Why did I just let him leave I should have stopped him! I'm so stupid. I slam my fists on the surface of my desk but then I punch the wall multiple times. I punch harder and this time my hand goes right through the wall. I carefully take it out making sure nothing hurts my hand. I quickly look for something to cover the wall with. I cover it with a poster and then continue punching another part of the wall.

"Jackie." I hear Finley say. I look towards the door and there he is standing and looking at me with a worried expression. He opens his arms and I run into them. I let myself cry.

"Hey, there's no need to be sad. He'll come back." He says. I cry more and he hugs me tighter.

"Everything will be fine, don't worry." He says. I'm hoping he's right.

"C'mon little sis." He wraps his arm around me and leads me down the stairs. I see everyone's still asleep.

"You see all these people?" Finley whispers. I nod.

"Well, they are the rope that's going to tie you together when you're falling apart. I'm part of that rope and no matter how hard it is we'll always keep you together." Finley says. I smile. Finley really is like an older brother. I wipe the tears rolling down my cheeks.

"Everyone wake up!" I shout. Everyone wakes up except Daniel. I run next to him and get close to his ear.

"Daniel!" I shout into his ear. Since he was laying down on the couch he rolls off. I laugh and he gives me a death stare.

"I now have a death wish." He jokes. I laugh even more.

"You can't kill me." I say through laughs.

"That's what you think." He says getting up from the floor.

"I'm so scared." I say sarcastically. He sits back on the couch. I sit down next to him and begin to laugh. I'm glad this takes my mind off Ryan. But now my mind is going crazy. I wonder where he went? Is he okay? Is he in trouble? Don't think to much about Ryan I tell myself. Cause even though he promised he would come back, I shouldn't get my hopes up. Daniel interrupts my thoughts by pushing me off the couch.

"It doesn't feel good right?" He says through laughs. I just lay down on the floor.

"It's actually very comfortable" I say.

"Sure." He says sarcastically.

"C'mon let's go someplace." Lismarie whines. We all decide to go downtown. Everyone starts to get ready. I run to my room to take a quick shower and change. When I'm done taking a shower I change into my black jeans, a T-shirt, combat boots, an airplane necklace, and a black hoodie. I brush my hair quickly. On my way down the stairs I zip up my hoodie and pull the hoodie over my head. When I get downstairs the only one we're waiting for is Liam. He's always the last one. When he's finally done we run out the door.

"Can we go there?" I ask everyone. They all nod. We go into the shop it's filled with people. We all get separated and I end up in the jewelry section. I stop by a bracelet, it says Forever and Always. When I read those words I think of Ryan. Why did he have to leave? I walk away from the necklace with my hands in fists. I want to punch something so bad but I can't, not here at least. I go to find someone I know. This store is huge. I find a vintage suitcase and I fall in love with it. I grab it and start my way to the cash register. This store is a maze, luckily I see a worker.
