Jackie's POV

I was washing the plate I had used to eat when the door banged open, scaring me. I turned around and saw Lucas standing at the door, a frown on his face as he stared at me. I rolled my eyes and turned back to continue what I was doing. He was still looking for a way to fight with me.

"Jackie?!" He called to me angrily.

"What?!" I yelled back, facing him again.

"Come here," he ordered and I scoffed.

"Leave me alone. I'm not in the mood for any of your antics," I retorted and dropped the plate on the sink before making my way to the counter where I dropped my glass of juice.

As I raised the glass to take a sip, Lucas marched toward me and smacked the glass out of my hand. It shattered to pieces, making me shocked at what he had just done.

"What is wrong with you?!" I asked at the top of my voice.

"Shut up! Shut the fuck up!" Lucas barked and I froze.

I have never seen him so angry before. It was so scary that I had to back away.

"What did I ever do to you?! Why are you like this?" Lucas asked, body shaking. "I trusted you! I loved you! I turned into a better person for you! Why do you do this to me?!"

"What are you saying?" I was confused.

"Stop pretending. You can stop pretending now, Jackie. You don't need to act again!"

"What are you even saying, Lucas? What's gotten into you?" I asked and stepped forward, but he moved back. His eyes were so dark in anger. It was then I noticed he was staring at me with disgust.

I heard footsteps and looked toward the door. Maddy was walking in with a shocked look on her face. She shook her head at me and stepped forward, standing beside me.

"Jackie, tell me this isn't true," she said, holding my arm. "I will believe you."

"I don't know what you two are talking about."

Lucas grabbed my hand so aggressively, almost making me topple over but Maddy held me from falling. He slammed his phone onto my hand so painfully that I hissed. He pushed my hand to my face and I focused on what was on his phone.

My heart dropped and my breathing changed at the image before me. On his phone was a picture of me and Clark. A naked picture of both of us on his couch in his house. My jaw dropped and my heart started to beat fast as I took in every detail of the image. I swiped sideways and there was another angle of the picture but now with Clark kissing me.

"What is this, Jackie?" Lucas asked and I looked at him. Tears were in his eyes.

"I... No, I... It's not possible."

"What's not possible?! That you are cheating on me?! Jackie, why?!" He barked and moved away. He slammed his fist onto the counter, making me jump.

"I didn't cheat on you!"

"Then explain those pictures! What do they mean to you?! I can't believe this," he said, running his hands all over his face.

I looked at Maddy. She was looking sad and held my arm a bit tighter.

"Maddy, I didn't do anything. You believe me, right?"

"Jackie, I do. There has to be some confusion somewhere."

"Stop it! Oh, my God! Can you two stop it? You know what? Maddy, leave my house!"

"No! I won't leave you alone with her!" Maddy countered and Lucas hissed.

"Alright," he said and faced me. "I don't know what I did to deserve this. You fooled me! You made me feel like a fucking idiot! You took my heart and now you've stabbed it. Did I not give you everything? Did I not love you enough?"

I was too weak and confused to formulate any answer. Everything was so strange to me because I couldn't remember doing anything of such with Clark.

"Tell me, Jackie. How long has this been going on?" He asked in a calm voice.

"It's nothing like that. I would never do such a thing like that," I said and he scoffed.

"Stop lying. Just come out clean, Jackie baby. Tell me, does he fuck you better than me? Or does he give you enough money? Oh, maybe that's why you don't want anything from me because he's a pretty like rich boy living in a big house."

I walked up to Lucas and slapped him across the cheek. I slapped him again and glared with so much heated anger inside of me. Instead of feeling pain, he started to laugh and stare at me with humor dancing in his eyes.

"I wished that hurt! But it can't because what you have done to me has made me numb to any fucking pain. Lucas Hamilton fell in love and got fooled by a good girl. This is my villain story, everyone! I lost my way and fell for a fucking pussy!"

My breathing picked up, my vision became blurred and my heart beat so fast that I could hear the thumps in my ears. My body became weak I didn't know when I fell to the floor. I hissed at the impact and raised my head when I saw Lucas glaring at me, hate in his eyes. Everything happening ached my heart so deeply.

"Jackie, get up," Maddy said and helped me to my feet. "Lucas, you are a piece of shit for treating the mother of your child this way. You claim to trust her yet you don't even bother hearing her out."

Lucas grimaced. "Mother of my child? Tsk, tsk, tsk. I don't even think that she's carrying my fucking child."

That set me on fire. I rushed to him and started to hit him on his chest, tears rolling down my cheeks as I did. He barely moved as I did. Then, he grabbed my arms and pushed me away gently.

"It's over, Jackie. It's over between us. I don't ever want to see your fucking face again. Leave my fucking house," he said and walked out of the house, banging the door.

I fell to my knees and started to cry out loud, my chest heated and body shaking from the rage, hurt and pain in me.

"Why me?"
