Café; Jack Avery

Chapter 77

Maggie's POV
"Aria I'm trying to figure all this out, Luke treats me to so well yet my heart wants jack. I don't know what it is about him that makes me feel differently then when I'm with Luke." I say

"So your gunna call off the engagement?"

"I have to, i know I'm only hurting Luke if this goes on any longer" I respond

"I'm proud of you maggie, your getting through this" she says with a small smile.

"Now we just wait for Luke to come back" I mumble.

Jacks POV

"What the hell jack?! You know she's engaged and the you tell her that you still lover her?! Are you trying to ruin her relationship?!" Daniel exclaims as I tell what I told maggie

"I just needed her to know how i felt just in case there's even a slight chance she might love me" I say

"Jack what can't you understand that she's in a relationship where she's happy" he says

"Way to make me feel fucken better" I say rolling my eyes

"I just don't want her to get hurt" he says sighing

"You think ima hurt her?"

"You've done it once I wouldn't doubt you'll do it again" he says

"That's low even for you" I say and shove him back and he realizes what he just said

"i didn't mean it" he mumbles and I walk away.

I didn't think Daniel would be the one to tell me that I would hurt her again. I know I don't deserve her but I can't help but want to hold her in my arms and be able to kiss her without worrying about anything.

I probably shouldn't have reacted the way I did with Daniel but it hurts hearing someone tell you that your just gunna hurt the person you love.

MAGGIES POV
"hey mags" luke says and gives me a kiss on the cheek, he puts his guitar down since he just came back from the studio

"Hey" I mumble

"Everything okay?" He asks

"uh actually can we talk?" I ask him

"sure" he says with a small smile showing off his dimples.

We sit down on the couch "are any of the other guys home?" I ask

"No I dropped them off at the grove" he replies

"Oh okay"

"So what did you wanna talk about?" He asks, here we go

"i-i can't get married" i say and my eyes start to water knowing that what I'm about to say next is gunna break him

"w-why not?" He asks stuttering, i can tell he doesn't want to know the answer yet he still asked

"i don't know how to say it any other way and i hope you don't hate me after this" i sniffle

"i still love jack" i say and put my hand over my mouth as tears roll down my cheeks. It's the first time I've actually admitted to it out loud.

I look over and see tears roll down his cheeks but his face shows no emotion.

"please say something" i say but it comes out as a whisper

"i don't know what you want me to say." he says

"i didn't mean to hurt you" I say quietly

"but you did" he says quietly and walks away leaving me there alone on the couch.

I go upstairs and grab my bags that I packed and leave the house.
