Make it a sweet, sweet goodbye

Jacks POV
I couldn’t believe him; I was trying to help to help him! I was trying to warn him of how Kendra truly was; a psychotic bitch who was out to ruin his and Rebecca’s relationship. At this moment I didn’t give a shit about my feelings, I just wanted Rebecca to be happy and not hurt…a place to my disappointment that was with Alex. I left out a huge sigh as I continue walking down the corridor.
“Jack?!” I hear called from behind me. I turn round coming face to face with Rebecca.
“Yeah?” I question trying to look relaxed and calm.
“Oh so now you talk to me?” she questions, crossing her arms over her chest, a look of hurt and confusion plastered on her face. I sigh, hating myself for upsetting her.
“Becz I’m sorry I avoided you, well everyone really, I just have been going through a lot and so much stress that I needed to be on my own, and please don’t ask what because I’d rather not talk about it.” I reply running a hand through my hair. The look of confusion and worry on her face is enough to break my heart in two.
“Jack, I’m worried about you, we hardly talk anymore…what’s happened to my bestfriend?” she questions. I wince in my head at the prospect of being called her bestfriend….just her bestfriend, nothing else.
“Nothing to be worried about, I’m here now.” I vow more to myself then her whilst pulling her into a hug. It didn’t matter about my feelings anymore, I had to be here for Rebecca, and she would need me if my predictions were to come true.
“So wanna tell me the reason behind you storming down this hallway looking pissed off?” asks Rebecca, I sigh wondering what should I do? Do I tell her the truth or keep everything hidden from her; which could result in her being hurt more, I sigh taking a deep breath, the decision already made up.
Calmly I take her outside to the tree where I would sit and think, sitting her down next to me. Slowly I tell her about the fight and my worries of what Kendra is truly up to…of course leaving out my true feelings for her to save embarrassment for the both of us. She listens carefully not once interrupting me, taking in every word I say. When I’m finished she sits quietly pondering.
“Rebecca?” I question.
“I believe you Jack.” She replies quietly staring down at her hands.
“You do?” I question, my voice laced with disbelief, I thought she would have laughed me off, especially how Alex had claimed to her and Kendra being like bestfriends.
“I do, whenever I am with her…all she wants to do is talk about mine and Alex’s relationship, or just about Alex in general. There’s also the fact she’s started to dress like me.” Replies Rebecca, glancing up at me.
“Why didn’t you talk to Alex about it?” I question keeping my eyes trained on her.
“At first it didn’t seem like a big deal, then when I truly started to notice I thought nothing about it, that maybe she was just trying to find herself, but after hearing everything you had to say, it all makes sense and seems more clearer, and to be honest, I stayed at her house once, there were no such pills like she mentioned, something I found strange at the time.” Rambles Rebecca as she studies her hand again.
“You have to tell Alex, he doesn't realise, he’s too trusting.” I reply, lifting her chin up to make her look at me.
“And you and Alex need to make up, I won’t have fighting between you two, you’re like brothers.” She mumbles.
“For you, of course Rebecca.” I reply smiling. A soft smile appears on her lips causing my heart to ache; to ache at the fact this beautiful girl will never be mine. To her I will always be nothing more than a friend, her best friend at that. I sigh standing up pulling her up with me.
“How about we go and sort all of this out now yeah?” questions Rebecca hugging me round the waist. I nod back as she takes hold of my hand pulling me down the corridor towards the room me and Alex were in earlier. If I knew what we were about to come face to face with…I wouldn’t of let Rebecca enter the room.
