"Uh, sure," I set my bags down next to the couch. My Mother patted the seat beside her as a way of telling me to sit down. I sat down beside her and looked between the two. They looked like they were having a silent argument.

"Y/n I want to say sorry in advance," Jack's Mom started.

"It'll be okay whatever it is," I reassured her, grabbing her hand. She avoided my gaze with a grimace. My nerves started to pick at my stomach.

"Okay," my Mother scrolled through her phone before clicking on something. She took a deep breath before showing me her phone. Full screen on her phone was a picture of two people kissing. I took in their features slowly, a deep sadness filling my body. The boy was instantly recognisable with his brown hair that fit perfectly with his freckled face. The girl with dark hair and the little over tan skin only made my sadness worse. Jack was kissing Ellie.

"W-when was this?" I stared at the picture with an overwhelming sadness mixed with anger.

"Today. We saw them at the park while taking a walk," my Mother's voice was quiet.

I dropped Jack's Mother's hand. I abruptly stood from the couch, head whirling with thoughts. I felt tears prick my eyes. I quickly walked to my bags and gripped them all into my hands. I started up the stairs at a quick pace. The sadness and anger grew with each step. My pace was subconsciously growing until I was running up the stairs. I tripped over a step and dropped all of my bags. I quickly swiped them up and ran the rest of the way.

I threw my door open and slammed it shut. I pushed my bags to the side and felt all of my sadness bubbling up. I locked my door and slid down it. My tears ran down my face uncontrollably. I slid down the door with my head in my hands. I sobbed into my knees, gripping my hair tightly. Why would he do this to me?

Why did he kiss me if he would just turn around and do this?

What did I do wrong?

Why was I so inferior to her?

What happened to what he said before?

Why didn't he tell me before he did it?

Was she that much better than me?

Was I that ugly and boring?

Why was I stupid enough to believe he would like me?

My fingernails dug into my scalp causing me slight pain. My sobs only got worse and were more heavy. My breathing started to quicken and I tried to stop my tears so I could breath. The tears wouldn't stop falling. I gasped for air as my sobs continued. I quickly stood up so I could try to calm down. I stood in front of the mirror but that only made it worse. I didn't want to see what was so inferior to Ellie. I was disgusted by my own mess of a reflection.

My anger for Ellie was the highest it has ever been. I felt anger towards Jack too but I couldn't keep it as steady as the one for Ellie. I wanted to punch something. Preferably Ellie but I only had a mirror as the closest thing to a person. I stood on the other side of the room away from my mirror so I couldn't punch it.

"Are you okay?" my Mom's voice was full of concern.

"Please just g-go away," I choked over my words. I heard her footsteps going down the stairs. I let out a shaky breath.

I tried again to steady my breathing. I still couldn't stop crying. I had never cried so much in my life. I grabbed a tissue and held it up to my eye. It helped only a small bit. I threw the tissue to the side and continued to focus on my breathing.

I started to hear people arguing downstairs. A male voice was involved. A sickening feeling came over me as I realized the voice belonged to Jack. I heard his Mother too.

"I said you should leave," his Mother said.

"Why? What did I do?"

"Because you kissed a girl that wasn't Y/n. She doesn't want to see you!" a sob escaped my lips at her words. I held a hand over my mouth, continuing to cry.

"Was that Y/n? I'm going up there," I heard his voice.

"I said go home Jack!" his Mother's voice was obviously very mad. "And don't even think of going to her window."

And he didn't.

But I was hoping he would and I hated myself for it.

-·☾·-

I woke up sniffling. I felt like complete crap. I despised Ellie with all of my heart now. I grabbed my phone from my pocket and noticed a lot of texts from Jack. I looked over them all.

I got out of my bed and got dressed. He was really annoying. Incredibly annoying. I don't know If I'll cry around him or not. I brushed my hair and teeth. I sat down but heard a knock on my door right after.

"Can I come in?" my Mom's voice came through.

"Yeah," I sighed and unlocked the door. My Mother engulfed me in a hug. I hugged her back slowly.

"I brought you breakfast. I made pancakes but I brought them up for you to eat them in bed. Go lay down," she pushed me towards my bed. I gave her a small giggle.

She grabbed my food from somewhere unknown to me. She walked over and set it down in my lap. "Thank you."

"No problem," my Mom sat down and brushed a hair behind my ear. I gave her a convincing smile.

"Can you leave now so I can pig out on my food?" I asked with an innocent look.

"Of course my little piglet," she rolled her eyes at me. I rolled my eyes back.

"Pretty sure that's not a compliment," I called after her. She peaked her head around the corner and gave an innocent smile.

"I know," she said before walking off.

I moved the plate off my lap and took a sip of my beverage. I had to be prepared for the knock on my window. I cut my pancakes up and poured my syrup on them. I started to eat them and halfway finished them when the dreadful knock sounded through my room. I set my fork down and walked to the window.

I opened the window up and watched as Jack crawled into my room, closing the window behind him. When he turned towards me I felt the tears come to my eyes. He must've noticed seeing as though he offered me a hug. I accepted the hug and sighed into his embrace.

"Why did you do it?" I whispered out.

"She kissed me being honest with you," he sighed. "I agreed to meet her there and she kissed me. But I should've told you I was going."

"Yeah you should've you idiot. But I want you to go for her. That's what you wanted. So let's break the deal off here. We don't date anymore and you get Ellie back. Just don't let her hurt you Jack," I gripped his shoulders and stared into those puppy dog eyes. I was going to miss those eyes and kissing those lips. Tears started down my cheeks. This is the hardest thing I've ever done. "It was good while it lasted."

"Really?" he grinned down at me. "Okay. I won't let her hurt me."

"Good. Now go get that girl," I patted his chest with one hand.

"Okay," his grin grew and he kissed my cheek. "Bye," he waved at me as he exited my room.

"Bye," I looked down with tears falling out of my eyes. Why did it have to be so hard? I did the right thing. I did the right thing. I nodded my head and went back to eating my food.

-·☾·-

"I won bitch," Ellie's devilish smirk unsettled me.

"Yeah you did. Now can I go?" I pointed towards her groupies at the door. She pinned me against the counter.

"Only if you agree to some things," she glared down at me.

"What are they?" I instantly frowned. She was going to make me agree to something about Jack.

"You can't let Jack drive you to school, you can't sit with him at lunch, you can't even talk to him in the hallway. If you break any of these there will be consequences. Are we clear?" she put on an innocent face. I felt like crying again. I was being too emotional.

"We're clear. I'll ignore him," I slowly nodded and accidently let a tear slip down my cheek.

"Awe. Is it that hard for you? That's so cute," she held my head up to look at her, a teasing smile on her face. "Now get out of my sight."

I walked out of the bathroom sadly. I promised Jack I'd still be his friend. But it's better this way. Now Ellie is happy and Jack will live without me. It wasn't hard for him to leave me after all.

I walked to the cafeteria with a grim look and a grim feeling. I wasn't looking forward to the next couple of days. How does one ignore someone like Jack? It's almost impossible. Could actually be impossible.

I saw Ally and Sophia at Jack's table waiting for me. I sat down at our old table alone. If I go over there Jack will try to talk to me. I can't straight up ignore him like that. At least not in front of his friends.

Ellie walked into the lunchroom and smirked at me. I looked down as she approached me. She sat down at my table with her groupies. "Did your friends leave you too?"

I stayed quiet as she looked at me. She grabbed my jaw and forced me to look at her. "Answer the question."

"No. They just haven't noticed me yet."

"Wow you're even invisible to your friends. That's a little sad," she grinned at me, turned, and walked away towards Jack table. I noticed her talk to Ally and Sophia. They turned towards me and quickly started walking over. Ellie started getting all over Jack who didn't pay me any mind. He was too busy kissing his whore of a girlfriend.

"What's up?" Sophia asked.

"Jack has Ellie now. We did it and now we're not fake dating. Pretty simple," I shrugged.

"Oh I'm so sorry Y/n/n," Ally gave me a small side hug.

"I'm fine. I told him to go for it anyway."

"Are you absolutely stupid? Look at how uncomfortable the group is. Her groupies are even trying to seduce some of them," Sophia shook her head and pointed towards Jack's table. They were shifting in their seats and trying to push the girl's away from them. Jaeden, Finn, and Wyatt being the main ones. Lets just say there are more than three groupies.

"Not my problem anymore. I can't even be near Jack according to Ellie," I looked down.

"What?" Ally gave me a wide-eyed look.

"She said I couldn't let him drive me to school, sit with him at lunch, or talk to him or there 'will be consequences.'"

"What the hell? That isn't fair to Jack and much less you," Sophia seemed angry.

"What if Jack talks to you?" Ally asked me.

"I can't talk back. I have to completely ignore him," I watched Ellie make out with Jack. This was going to be really hard on me.
