Chance.

Alex’s POV

I was so confused on why Jack was waiting outside of the lecture hall for me. He explained that he wanted me back. Part of me just wanted to run into his arms and never let go, but the other part of me wanted to just walk away with Andy and forget he even came here. I can’t put myself up to get hurt again. Not by him. I’m not letting it happen again. I have put a wall up, and I am not letting Jack knock it down any chance he gets. He picked his path almost two months ago, and he chose the one that I refused to go down. I watched Jack continue to walk away from where Andy and I were standing.

“Hey Andy, you remember that guy I told you about that left and broke my heart?” I asked looking to him.

“Yeah, why?” He questioned.

“That’s him.”

“Go after him. You two need to talk about a few things. I’ll be right here waiting for when you come back.”

“Thanks, babe. I’ll only be a minute.” I said as I placed a kiss on his cheek. He took my backpack from me and slung it over his shoulder as I jogged my way over to Jack. “Jack!” I called out. He stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at me. I reached him and looked him in the eye.

“Alex.” He said softly as he put his head down.

“I have a few things to say. First off, I can tell you are hungover, were you drunk when you got on the plane? Is that why you decided to come?” I asked him.

“I was drunk when I got on the plane, yes. But I have been debating with myself for about a month if I should came back and win you over again.” He stated, as he looked at the ground.

“Jack. I’m not just something you can throw away and pick up any time you want. I’m a human being. Someone who has feelings, and a heart. A heart the you, of all people, you broke into a million pieces. I admit, I still love you. And I have a feeling in my gut that tells me that I will always love you. But I’m not ever taking you back, I can’t do that to myself. If I take you back, it’s just setting me up to be hurt again. When I met Andy, he was like some dark angel dropped down from the heavens of something. He protected me, and got Brent and the others to leave me the hell alone, Jack. He takes me out on dates and treats me like a prince. What did we ever do in our relationship other than run away from our problems?” I looked him dead in the eye when I spoke. I waited a few seconds for him to answer but he didn’t. “That’s what I thought. This is good-bye Jack. Never contact me again.” I turned around and started my way back to the black-haired man who was waiting for me.

“Alex!” I heard Jack’s voice behind me. I stopped and turned around. “But, I still love you.”

“The feeling is returned. But will never be acted on.” I spoke. “Good-Bye Jack.” I turned back around and went up to Andy. He smiled at me and I took my bag back from him. He bent down about a inch and placed a kiss to my lips, which I happily returned. It’s time to move on with my life. I have the closure I needed.
