Beauty and the Beast

Ch.14: Jack or Zack

Anna's POV:
Monday. Class with Zack.

I walk into class really early and chose a seat at the far back of the clasroom. I know this area would fill up quickly, and that Zack would have to sit in the front without me, because he would be late.

I was right. He came in 10 minutes late, his nose bruised from Jack punching him on his nose yesterday. "Dude, what happened to your nose?," I heard someone ask him. "Got punched by another guy yesterday, it wasn't worth fighting back." "Was it over a girl?" "Yeah." "Let me guess, kissed his girlfriend." "Yep." "Dude, when are you going to stop?"

Anger boiled inside me and I grip my pen. Even at school I was reminded of yesterday. I got no sleep last night. I felt so guilty not telling Jack myself. I hated that he had to hear it from someone else, not me. It killed me knowing that I cheated on Jack. I just never wanted to admit it, but in the back of my mind, I knew I had. And I hated myself even more for it. So I hope Jack is happy knowing that I'm beating myself up for it.

I no longer had my best friend. Thats the part I hate the most.

After class I went to what used be our spot, and sat down. He never came though. I thought he would leave behind yesterday and come talk to me to hear the whole story from me. Not the version that Kris told him. He never gave me a chance to tell him the whole story.

I put my earbuds in and closed my eyes, letting the music take me away.

Jack's POV:
I walk to what used to be mine and Anna's spot. I reach it and see that Anna is sittting there, blasting her iPod, taken away by the music.

I stood there for a while, watching her. I still wanted to be with her, but all I could think about was that she cheated on me with Zack. If it wasn't Zack, I wouldn't have reacted the way I did.

But standing here, watching her being lost in the one thing that can help her escape from shit. Its making me realize that I just lost my best friend as well. All because I was so angry at her that I ended our friendship as well. I couldn't stand looking at her yesterday, even hearing her voice. But as soon I got home, I knew I had made a mistake, and it killed me. I can't imagine my life without her, even if we weren't dating.

I still wanted to be the one who wiped her tears. Hold her in my arms when she needed to be held. Smell her favorite Pink perfume on her soft skin. Run my fingers through her hair. See her smile and hear her laugh. Hear her cussing at me when I beat her at video games. Laying on each other's beds, holding each other, while watching our movie marathon and eating popcorn.

Being able to sit in this spot, with each other, as friends.

But I fucked it all up yesterday.

Anna's POV:
I slowly open my eyes, I felt so tired, how long was I sitting here? I look around, no one was around. I gather my stuff and look at the time, almost time for class.

I get in class early and see Alex sitting in his usual spot by my seat. "I know you want to sit in the back Anna, but just sit by me, you can't avoid me forever." I sigh and take my seat by him, avoiding his stare. "He really is-" "Go fuck yourself Alex. This is your fault to." "How is this my fault!?" I look up at him and glare, "you could've stopped it. I wanted to tell him, okay? But I knew that he was going to react like that."

I turn away from him, the threat of tears coming.

After class I see that Zack is waiting by my car. I avoid him and go to my car door. "Anna please." He grabs my chin and makes me look up at him. "I really am sorry..." He rubs my cheek with his thumb and I feel tears run down my cheeks. "Believe me, I asked them not to tell Jack. I knew you wanted to tell him yourself. Alex knew as well. But Kris, he didn't behind my back. I didn't want to break you and Jack up, because I knew it would ruin your guys' friendship as well," he spoke softly, his eyes were soft not hard. He was telling the truth. And meant every word.

"Can you come with me Anna," he asked quietly. I nodded and follow him. I don't know what made me. We get to his motor cycle, hands me a helmet, I put it on, and sit behind him. I wrap arms tightly around his waist, holding tighter as he drove off. We reach his house and go inside. It was cleaner from the last time I came.

I put my stuff on the table, and he walks backs out from his room where he had put his stuff. "Why'd you ask me to come here." "Because I know you want to scream at me. Let it all out. And I'll take it. Every word." I stood there, staring at the floor. "Just let it out. I know you been holding it in."

"Because of you..." "Because of me what?" "BECAUSE OF YOU I LOST MY BEST FRIEND!!!," I finally screamed. It felt good. Tears were running more this time, my breathing got fast. "BECAUSE OF YOU!! JACK HATES ME!! BECAUSE OF YOU! I LOST THE ONE PERSON WHO MADE ME FEEL WHOLE BESIDES RIAN!! I PLANNED ON TELLING HIM!! REALLY I DID!! BUT YOU GUYS!!"

I screamed and cried more, holding myself. I started to fall but I feel Zack hold me up. I cry into his chest, him holding me close to keep me from going onto the floor. I felt weak. I wanted Jack. I wanted to be in Jack's arms. I wanted to cry into Jack's chest. Not Zack's.

"Why Zack..." "What do you mean?" "Why'd you do this to me..." "Because I really like you Anna... My feelings for you are real and strong. I never felt this way about a girl before. My world has been turned upside down, I can't think straight. All I can think about, is you. Only you." I slowly look up at him, and he wipes my tears. "I really do care about Anna...more then you know.."

He slowly leans down, hesitant. He slowly places his lips on mine and I close my eyes. I remembered how I felt last time. I felt something that I didn't feel with Jack. I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him back. He keeps his arms around me, pulling me even more close. It was addicting. I felt like I was drugged. I wanted more. I needed more. And I never wanted it to stop.
