Make it a sweet, sweet goodbye

Alex’s POV
“Rebecca Thomas, will you go on a date with me?” I ask the beautiful girl in front of me. I can’t believe I actually did it. I finally told Rebecca everything, what I thought of her and how I wanted to go on a date. I felt time stop for a couple of minutes while I waited for her answer.
“Alex Gaskarth, I would love to.” She replies a smile strong on her face. I lean in to kiss her again but she pulls away giggling. I look at her confused while pouting.
“Nuh-uh, you are not allowed no more kisses till you take me on a proper date.” She replies giggling. I can’t help but be so happy to hear her giggle again, especially after everything that had happened. I nod smiling.
“That, I can live with.” I mumble stroking another strand of hair out of her face. Suddenly I hear my phone go off in the corner of the room. All The Small Things by Blink 182 blasts out through my cell phone, I run over and pick up my phone, realising I have been here for a while. I notice its Jack calling, shit I was meant to give him a lift home! I quickly answer the phone to a very angry Jack.
“Where the fuck are you?” he shouts down the phone.
“Errrm Jack I can’t talk right now, really busy.” I mutter down the phone as Rebecca takes the hint and goes to the bathroom to I assume clean up.
“Dude, what the fuck is going on? Your mum just rang me and I covered for you so you better be at my house in the next five minutes.” He shouts down the phone before hanging up. Shit, now I have to go deal with this.
“Oit Rebecca!” I shout to the small girl in the other room. Quickly she appears at the bathroom door looking confused.
“Yes?” she asks.
“I have to go now, Jack wants to see me.” I reply shrugging. She nods and runs over to hug me goodbye, I quickly mumble into her ear that I will text her about the date later, before leaving her house.

I arrive at Jacks soon after, running through his house and up to his bedroom, taking the steps two at a time.
“You dude.” I shout walking into his bedroom, he looks up from the video game he's playing on his tele, quickly putting it on pause before giving me his full attention.
“Where the fuck were you today?” He asks. “Actually new question where the fuck was Rebecca?” he continues, looking more worried than before.
I look at him before mumbling one name that will make him understand. “Kendra” I say before collapsing down onto the bed.
“Well that explains that.” He replies before looking to the ground.
“Explains what?” I ask sitting up, having a terrible feeling about this.
“Dude, you know that ever since you slept with Kendra she’s been fucking head over heels for you so...when you leave with Rebecca, I know shit is going to go down.” He explains. I stare at him confused, gesturing for him to explain.
“Kendra came into afternoon lessons telling everyone that Rebecca is a freak that cuts, that’s she's an emo and uses this against us lot to get us to hang out with her.” He replies looking away sadly.
“WHAT?” I scream standing up, anger coursing through my veins.
“Dude everyone told her to shut up and no one believed it…” he replies trailing off. I look at the way he finishes the sentence, before it clicks in my mind.
“You knew?” I question. Jack quickly looks up, looking like a deer caught in headlights.
“I-I-er-I don’t know what you’re talking about.” He replies, stuttering. I shake my head at his stupidness.
“Jack, I know! I walked in on her cutting.” I reply, the word ‘cutting’ feeling like dirt in my mouth.
“I’m sorry Alex, I found her upset once and she made me promise not to tell, also she told me she would stop and I believed her, she seemed so happy lately I didn’t think she would do it.” Jack rambles quickly looking so distraught.
“Do you know why she does it?” I question crossing my arms.
“She refused to tell me.” He mumbles sadly. “Did she tell you…?” he questions slowly.
“Yeah…but it’s not my place to tell you. And as for Kendra; I don’t want Rebecca to know, I will deal with her myself. I just cheered Rebecca up, I don’t need sadness again.” I explain looking to Jack for agreement. He nods his head.
“Dude be careful with Kendra, you know what she’s like.” Replies Jack looking up at me. I nod my head; unfortunately I do know what she’s like, how manipulative she can be.
“Also how did you cheer up Rebecca?” asks Jack. Slowly a blush spreads to my cheek causing me to look away. Jack suddenly jumps up on the bed screaming “YOU SLEPT WITH HER DIDN’T YOU?”
“WHAT? No, no, no!” I shout causing Jack to sit down on the bed pouting. “All we did was kiss, that’s all I would want to do with her at the moment, she’s not like the others, I wouldn’t sleep with her just for the fun of it.” I mumble looking down.
“Wow you must really care for her?” asks Jack.
“She’s become my world Jack, which is why I have asked her out, she will soon be mine.” I reply looking up smiling.
“Finally!” shouts Jack standing up to hug me with a huge grin on his face. “You do not realise how long the group has been waiting for you to ask her out.” I laugh at his reaction, a smile evident on my face. Suddenly his reaction reminds me, pulling the phone out of my pocket.
To: Becchoe
From: Gasktart
Friday, 7’Oclock be ready. I will pick you up from your house x
I sent the message before realising it was Thursday and I needed a plan of what I was going to do.
“Jack I need an Idea of what I can do for the date?” I exclaim looking at him.
“Hmmmm I have an idea.” He replies a smile growing on his face. I feel my phone buzz twice before I look down to see two new messages.
I open the first to find a message from Becca:
To: Gasktart
From: Becchoe
Can’t wait, and can you give Kara an idea so she will know what I need to wear ;) xx
I smile at her extra kisses before sending back a quick okay along with a sexual innuendo…hey I cant help it! However my smile drops when I see the second message.
To: Alex
From: Kendra (The Bitch)
You either meet me tomorrow night at 6 or the whole school will know about that hoes little secret.
I know I shouldn’t see her so early before the date with Rebecca, heck I shouldn’t see her at all, but I can’t have her tell everyone her secret. I text back a simple ‘Ok’ before sitting down on Jacks bed listening to his idea for the date.
Nothing bad will happen….Right?
“Rebecca Thomas, will you go on a date with me?” I ask the beautiful girl in front of me. I can’t believe I actually did it. I finally told Rebecca everything, what I thought of her and how I wanted to go on a date. I felt time stop for a couple of minutes while I waited for her answer.
