Not Over You // j.g. (wattys 2015)

Seven.

Lia Johnson

I stayed with Jack until the doctor told me that I had to leave so he could do a check up and see how he was doing. I said goodbye and walked back into the waiting room where it was only Johnson sitting there.
"Where are the rest of the guys?" I asked him as I took a seat next to him and put my head on his shoulder.
"They went home, Lia. What were you doing in there?"
I shrugged my shoulders. "We just talked and watched tv. Nothing happened..." He looked at me with a doubting look. "What?" I asked.
"I'm not saying you kissed him or anything, but I can tell by the look on your face that something happened." I shifted in my seat, knowing he was right.
"Jack, he told me," I hesitated for a while.
"What? What did he say?" He said softly and soothingly.
"Jack said that he still loves me." as soon as the words came out of my mouth, I immediately wanted to shove them back in. His face drops and then turns quickly to anger. He stands up quickly.
"What?" His face turns so red. I've never seen him so angry.
"He said it was all an act. He didn't want anyone to know!" I stood up too. Not caring that we were making a scene. He ran his fingers through his hair, obviously frustrated.
"Do you love him back?" He stopped and looked at me with glassy eyes.
"I- I don't know Jack." His eyes filled with tears as he headed in the direction of Jack's hospital room. "Jack?" I asked, chasing after him as he speeds through the hallway. "Jack? What are you doing?"
"I'm going to talk to lover boy in there." He said with anger in his voice.
"Jack, no." I grabbed his arm and he stopped, his shoulders falling.
"Lia, I am so sorry." Then he started to cry and I let him cry into my shoulder, tears soaking my shirt but I didn't care.
"Jack, it's okay." I said, soothing him. He pulled back.
"You know what?" He took a deep breath. "Honestly, I am heartbroken. But I just want to see you happy. And if being with me doesn't make you happy and being with him does," he hesitated. "Then go for it. Just always know that I love you. As a friend and more, but right now Jack needs you. So go to him." I looked into his eyes, wondering what to say next.

Don't judge me. Later I forget that he has a broken leg.
There may or may not be a hashtag for this :)
