Perviously on "Friends with Benefits"

"Hey babe. I'm gonna go get something to drink, you want anything?" - Jack

"Nah I'm good but thanks." - Me

He got up and left. I continued to listen to the guys rapping. I looked around the room and Madison wasn't here anymore.

The guys then played the song again but with music this time. Me, Johnson and Rupp sang the chorus. Let's just say we harmonized.

Once the song was over they continued rapping other songs. I sat back down and Jack wasn't here yet. He's been gone for a while now so I went to go look for him.

----------------------------------------

I walked around and the studio is actually big. I walked into the kitchen and he wasn't here. The fridge was open but he wasn't here.

I walked around some more, till I found a room. I walked in there and no Jack. The room was big. It reminded me of a game room.

I walked out of the room and walked forward. I found out that this studio has rooms. I saw a door and it was slightly opened. I peaked in there and saw Madison.... With Jack.

Making out on the bed. My heart broke. Tears were forming in my eyes. I felt back stabbed all over again. I walked away with tears.

I found the nearest bathroom and stood in there crying. I tried to wipe away my smudge eyeliner. I didn't want to look like I was crying. I'm a strong person but this... I can't.

I walked out of the bathroom with red eyes cause I was crying but I tried to smile. Fake smile. I walked back into the studio and Johnson and Rupp was the only ones there.

"Hey what's wrong?" - Johnson came up and whispered to me.

"Oh nothing." - I lied

"Then why are your eyes red an watery?" - Johnson

"I'm pretty tired, I was yawning and I don't feel good right now." - Me

"Want me to get Jack and he can take you home." - Johnson

"No. It's fine. I came here to sing right?" - Me

"Yeah. It's all set up for you. Go ahead" - Johnson

I walked into the booth. I put on the headphones.

"You ready?" - Rupp

"Yeah." - Me

I decided to sing "All in my head by Tori Kelly" (Songs above)

"Okay! Here we go" - Rupp

I looked at Johnson and he gave me a thumbs up and smile.

"I see you with her and it crushes me inside
Guess I should stop thinking about you all the time
Maybe this is what I needed maybe this is a sign
Maybe I've been blind to reality baby tell me
Every little glance my way
Every time you wanted to hang
You seemed so interested
Could you tell me was it real or was it all in my head
Was it real or was it all in my head" - Me

I then saw Jack walk in with Madison. Most girls would've walked out but I decided to sing through my pain. I looked at him straight through his eyes while singing.

He looked guilty. He gave me an apologetic look.

"She's so pretty you two look so great
Time for me to move on now it was probably just a silly crush anyway
But I just cant help but think that we, we could've had something"

I started to break down in tears. But keep singing.

"Have I really been blind to reality baby tell me

Every little glance my way
Every time you wanted to hang
You seemed so interested
Could you tell me was it real or was it all in my head
Was it real or was it all in my head

Was it real or was it fake?
Was it all a mistake?
Boy, I just gotta know was it all in my head, all in my head?
Did you ever feel the same?
Was my mind just playing games?
Boy, I just gotta know was it all in my head, all in my head?

Every little glance my way
Every time you wanted to hang
You seemed so interested
Could you tell me was it real or was it all in my head in my head
Was it real or was it all in my head"

After the song was finished. I walked out of the booth and got my phone and purse and walked out of the studio.

But before I did Jack pulled me back.

"Let me go!" - I yelled

"Acacia. Let me explain." - Jack

"Stop with the bullshit Jack! I'm done!" - Me

"Acacia please." - Jack pleaded

"Let me go Jack. I'm done with your lies. I'm done with your secrets. And sure as hell I'm done with this relationship!" - I yanked my arm and ran.

I heard people calling my name and I ran. I don't know where yet but I just kept walking.

Until a truck was coming towards me. Before I could even get out the way. Everything was happening to fast. I started seeing black. I was in my dark place again.

Everything was a blur. The truck was moving to fast before I could even think. Is this really over? Am I at peace where I can't get hurt anymore?

You win Madison. You win.
