Jack Barakat Imagines
Ice Cream and Hugs
Your POV
“It’s not you at all, it’s just Rebecca is just so different, you know? Like she understands me, she gets me.” Says the guy standing in front of me wearing the most hipster thing I’ve ever seen in my life. No I don’t know. I don’t understand what’s so important about Rebecca or how she even understands you.
“Yeah, I get it,” I mumble to myself instead. I guess this was the end of us. Kevin was really doing this to me. All my friends told me that this would happen. But did I listen? Sadly no.
“You’re a really cool girl, Y/N, it’s just that Rebecca makes me happy.” He took my hands in his and all I wanted to do was to bite his fingers off. That sounds weird.
“I didn’t make you happy?” I winced at his words and bit my lip.
“You did, but she makes me feel special. I felt like you cared more about Jack than you did about me. Rebecca is willing to devote herself to me.”
“Kevin, he’s my best friend.” I was told that he was jealous but I didn’t think he was this jealous. “Of course I’m going to spend time with him. I’m not just going to drop him like he’s nothing as soon as I get a boyfriend.”
“See, this is exactly what the problem is with you.” He dropped my hands and gestured to me like I was some masterpiece gone wrong.
“And what exactly is that? That I care about my friends?”
“No, that you’re a selfish bitch that doesn’t take my wants into consideration.”
“I don’t what? Excuse you, but who was the one that bought you a fucking xbox when my dog accidentally broke it? Who was the one that constantly tried to piece this fucked up relationship back every time you fucked up? Fuck you Kevin, I hope you and Rachel or Rebecca or whatever have fun being isolated in your own little world. Call me when she cheats on you. Or don’t call me at all, because I won’t pick up.”
“Y/N, I don’t want things to end like this between us.”
“Well you fucked that up when you ignored everything I did for you and fell in love with someone else. Tell me this, Kevin: did you fuck her too?”
He didn’t say anything, just glanced at his shoes, his face going red. Of course. I fucking knew it. Why the fuck did I stay with him again. “Yeah that’s what I thought. See you in Hell, asshole.” I waved at him and turned around. I was not spending another minute with that asshat of a human. What a douche.
And yet, tears still fell from my eyes. Why am I crying over this guy? All he ever did was hurt me. He constantly insulted Jack and my other friends. He was never nice to me and yet I couldn’t help but to fall in love with him. I am a terrible excuse of a friend.
Jack was who I needed now, not some asshole with nice arms. Damn, he did have really nice arms. But Jack, even though his arms were smaller than Kevin’s, his hugs were meaningful. He felt like he actually cared about me. And that’s what I needed. A meaningful hug, and an ice cream sesh. I texted him and was on my way.
Jack’s POV
When I read her message, I love you my heart jumped a little. I longed for those words to be told to me, but I knew I had to count my blessings. She was my best friend, the most important person in my life, and I knew that she had a boyfriend. God, I hated that dick.
I had to bite my tongue whenever she would gush about him. She knew I didn’t like him, but sometimes she couldn’t help herself but to talk about him all the time. He was an ass to her, and I wished she’d realize it.
He probably did something to upset her again. Maybe he cheated on her if it resulted in an ice cream session. There was no way in hell he’d break up with her. No one in his right mind would break up with someone that beautiful and charismatic.
She didn’t even knock when she barged through my front door. Not that I minded, my parents weren’t home, May was long gone, so it was just me. I was actually really happy Y/N texted me. But as soon as I saw her crying face, I wasn’t that happy anymore.
“Y/N?” I called to her as she ran to hug me. “What’s wrong? What happened?”
“Ice cream first,” she managed to choke out. I nodded as I rubbed her back soothingly. I wonder what made her this torn up.
When she let go of me, I sat her on my couch with a blanket wrapped around her. I didn’t want her getting cold. I went to grab the ice cream tubs and gave her a spoon and her favorite flavour.
“What happened, Y/N?” I asked between spoonfuls.
“It’s Kevin, he..” A new stream of fresh tears poured out. “He broke up with me.”
He did? He did! Holy fuck this was the best news I heard since Zack agreed to join our band. And that was four fucking years ago. “What happened? Did he do something? ‘Cause if he did, I swear to god, I’ll fuck some shit up in that asshole brain of his.”
Her shoulders were heaving and I put my tub down to wrap her in my arms. No one is ever allowed to hurt my best friend in this way. No one. “He said that I didn’t make him feel special enough that I spend too much time with you.”
“He did?” That asshole, using me as a reason to break up with her.
“He also said he found someone new, and Jack, he.. he fucked her.”
This caught me by surprise. Y/N was a virgin, she hadn’t ever slept with anyone. She refused to do anything with Kevin, and I was actually happy because damn, I wanted to be her first. I lost mine two years ago, and that was the most awkward experience I’ve ever faced. I didn’t want something like that to happen to her. Kevin didn’t want to wait any longer I suppose.
“There’s nothing wrong with being a virgin my age, right? Right Jack? I’m not defective.” She squeezed me tighter, making me feel slightly guilty. I really hope I never put her through this much pain.
“Of course there’s nothing wrong with you, hun.” I knew she loved it when I called her things. Little did she know why I ever did. Maybe it was time to tell her. “You’re not defective, you haven’t done anything wrong. If he wasn’t able to see what an amazing person you are, then fuck him. He’s a terrible person.”
“But Jack, did I drive him away?”
“No, you didn’t. Not at all. He doesn’t see how special you are. He doesn’t see that you don’t have to be connected at the hip to be happy. He doesn’t see the potential you hold to be great. He doesn’t appreciate your beauty or your smarts or anything. He doesn’t deserve you.”
“Do you really think that?” She pulled away, and even though there were crying juices everywhere, I still thought she was beautiful. There was something about crying that made the color in her irises stand out. She is so damn beautiful.
“Of course I think that,” I whispered. I tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear and smiled down at her. “You’re my best friend, and I love you.”
Shit, I didn’t mean for that to fall out. I mean, I love her, yeah. I love her as a best friend, and I love her as something more. Maybe it was time for her to know. Was it a dick move to confess to her the night she was dumped, probably. But I don’t know when I’d ever get the courage like this again.
“I love you too,” she smiled. I knew it, she didn’t take it like I meant it. Why would she? We’re best friends, we don’t fall in love with each other. I do, sadly. And she was either going to know now, or I would never tell her. I took a deep breath.
“No, Y/N, I’m in love with you. I love everything about you. I love your hair, I love your smile, I love your nose, I love your eyes, I love your ears, I love your chest, I love your boobs, I love your arms, I love your hands, I love your fingers, I love your abdomen, I love your legs, I love what’s between your legs, I love your feet, I love your toes, I love you. I love you. I’m in love with you.”
She stared at me with wide eyes. Tears were no longer falling. I was staring intently at her, curious of her response. I let out a little bit more than I intended to. Especially about what’s between her legs, I’ve never seen that before, why the hell did I feel the need to elaborate on that? By god, I’m stupid as fuck.
“What?” she whispered. Her hand came up to her mouth and I saw on her face the recognition. I’ve been waiting for so long, and I told her. What the hell was I thinking. “For how long?” she finally asks after a while.
“I realized one year, 137 days, 42 minutes and..” I checked my clock on the wall. “twenty-seven seconds ago. But I’m not counting.” I gave her a cheeky smile, and she actually returned it. I even heard her giggle. What the fuck, is this even happening to me right now?
“You mean you had to watch me get my heart broken all those times, and you just cleaned up the pieces while loving me? And you said nothing?”
“Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.” I gave her another small smile.
“Wow,” she breathed. “I never thought that my best friend would actually fall in love with me. I feel like I’m living a rom com right now.” I giggled at her statement, and noticed her eyes were dry now. “So do we kiss or something now?”
“Only if you like me back that way,” I mumbled to myself. I can’t believe I just did that, I can’t believe how well she’s taking it.
“I mean, I was always suspicious, but you actually love me. This makes me really happy, and I don’t even know why. Maybe we should try to kiss, and if it feels right then we try it?”
I smiled and nodded, my whole life has been leading up to this moment. I hope I don’t fuck it up.
“Now that I think about it, why haven’t we ever kissed before? Plenty of other people have kissed their best friends. Hell, you’ve even kissed Alex before, and yet, I’m just trying this out now-”
“Shut up, and kiss me now.” I pulled her in to kiss me. She kissed back, and I enjoyed it. It wasn’t weird. I worried for months on end about whether or not it was going to be weird. And it wasn’t. What the fuck is going on.
She deepened this kiss by adding tongue. And holy shit she’s good. She deepened the kiss, does that mean she likes it? That we can try this? Holy fuck. What the fuck.
She pulled away after a while. “Holy shit, Jack. Why did you never tell me you were that amazing of a kisser.”
I shrugged and smirked while thinking about the kiss, having it play over and over again in my mind. “I guess it just slipped. Does this mean we’re gonna try this out?”
“Fuck yes.” She pulled me in to kiss her again, and I smiled into it. I’m definitely going to like this. Damn, am I glad that Kevin broke up with her.
“It’s not you at all, it’s just Rebecca is just so different, you know? Like she understands me, she gets me.” Says the guy standing in front of me wearing the most hipster thing I’ve ever seen in my life. No I don’t know.
