A/N: I imagine that this is how Jack and Sammy appear after their little skirmish. :{
~Rylee's POV~
The next day was horrid. I got there and couldn't find Sammy or Lexi. Olivia and her cheerleaders decided to pester me. They kept throwing insults at me like, whore, slut, bitch. You know, the usual. It's alright though. I don't really let that stuff get to me. They're just attention seeking sluts who feel stronger when picking on people.
Later on in the day I finally found Lexi and just in time for Biology. I asked where she had been and she said she was at a doctors appointment. Lexi is clinically depressed. So I'm assuming they went in to check on her. I'm also assuming that she's doing a lot better now that I'm around. I did notice that Lexi was awful at being noticed or making new friends. She was so awkward when asking if She could sit with me at lunch. I said yes, obviously, and slowly she's been coming out of her depression shell. I'm super happy for her.
When we walk into biology, people won't shut up about me. They talk about Sammy and I and Jack and I and it's driving me nuts.
"Did you hear? Jack and Jack are becoming pretty famous on Vine!" What?
"Oh yeah? Well that Rylee bitch will be sorry for leaving Gilinsky then!" They laugh and look at me. Then they shut their mouths. Everyone does when I walk in the room. Great, I'm the talk of the school. And what's this about Jack and Jack becoming famous on Vine? I know the other Jack, Jack Johnson. Him and Gilinksy have been best friends since 5th grade. But what the hell is vine?
Anyways, I've been thinking about Jack lately. I mean, sure he did cheat on me and every thing but, he made me a better person. In the end I was beyond upset but I've realized that it's not so bad. I'm practically over it. I'm honestly, not a very hateful person. I mean sure, if anyone hurts me or Lexi then I am going to beat them up but I don't hold grudges. Jack just wants me to forgive him. I don't see why I shouldn't. Jack texts me all the time so I still have his number. I decide to send him a text.
Rylee: hey Jack, can you find me after school, we need to talk.
Jack: yeah, of course why do you want to talk tho?
Rylee: you'll just have to wait and see ;)
Jack: there's the girl I miss :)))
Rylee: anyways, I'll see you after school ;)
Jack: alrighty ;))
I set my phone down and just keep waiting for the day to roll on by. Still haven't seen Sammy all day. I'm wondering if he even came to school.
After school, I say goodbye to Lexi and wait around for Gilinsky. I mean Jack. Shit, Sammy is growing on me...
"Rylee." I hear Jack say my name and turn around to face him. He looks terrible... His nose looks busted and the only way I would know that is because it's all bandaged up. Sammy really did a number on him. I mean, I saw his face yesterday but it was all bloody. Now I see his face is a bruised and his nose is wrapped up.
"Oh my gosh, Jack..." I whisper, feeling genuinely sorry for what Sammy and I did... "I'm so sorry." I walk up to him.
"It's alright. I'm really sorry for punching you. It was meant for Sammy." He smiled slightly at me.
"I really wish you guys wouldn't fight." I look up into his chocolate eyes.
"Then he should stay away from you." Jack looks mad again.
"You can't blame him. His girlfriend cheated on him with you. He can't help but be mad." I try to reason with him.
"Whatever." He rolls his eyes.
"Please, Jack. I want to forgive you but, you and Sammy need to make up first. You guys can't go on fighting." I grab his hand and try to convince him. Jack has always been a little difficult.
"Fine. But I'll only do it for you." He keeps smiling at me.
"Thank you Jack." I return his smile.
"So does this mean that your taking me back?" He smiles, enthusiastically.
"Jack... I can't... You hurt me really badly... I still want to be friends with you but I don't think we can get back together. It's too painful for me." It hurts just thinking about what he did to me.
"I understand..." He looks down, and away from me.
"I'm sorry Jack. I just can't do it again. It would bring back too many terrible memories."
"So, just friends?" He looks back up and slightly smiles at me.
"Just friends." I smile back.
"Gilinsky! You little fucker!" I hear a familiar voice yelling at us.
"Sammy!" I quickly say and turn away from Jack.
"What the fuck are you doing with Rylee! I thought I made it clear when I broke your nose! Stay away from her!" Sammy is beyond reasoning at this point. He's beyond pissed.
"Sammy, he wasn't doing anything wrong." I calmly reply and step forward to meet with Sammy.
"He's trying to get in your fucking pants again! He just wants to fuck you and then leave you again! Don't fucking listen to a word he says, Rylee!" I take another step and place a hand on Sammy's chest to stop him.
"Sammy, calm down. I'm never going back to him. I just want to be friends with him. I don't like holding grudges and this one has almost been a year. He's not going to ever hurt me again."
"You don't fucking know that. He could screw you over by luring you into a fake ass friendship and then fuck you over. I don't fucking trust him. Not after he slept with Olivia." His tone calms down a bit and the rise and falling of his chest slows down.
"I know he's hurt you just as much as he's hurt me. I understand your anger. But it's been a year, Sammy. I think we should let it go. It's not good to keep all this anger boiled up inside you." I put my hand over his heart.
"I'm sorry, Sammy. I know how angry you are with me. I would have been beyond mad if I heard Rylee had cheated on me. I don't know why I did what I did but I'm
Sorry about it." Jack speaks.
"I'm still not over it. But I'll forget about it for Rylee." Sammy look at me after he says that. I smile at him, gratefully. As if I could tell him "thank you" through my smile.
"So, can we all just be friends again?" I ask after a minute.
"Yeah." Jack nods
"I guess." Sammy shrugs.
"Good." I smile at both of them.
"I'll walk you home." Sammy offers and takes my hand.
"Okay, well I'll be heading home now. Bye Rylee." Jack comes over and hugs me, quickly. Sammy glares at him viciously. Is Sammy jealous? That's cute.
Jack lets go and walks off, leaving Sammy and I alone.
"So you decided to forgive him?" Sammy grumpily asks.
"I said I wouldn't forgive him until you and him made up. So if you're still not over what he did, then no. I didn't forgive him." I look back over at him.
"Good, because I'm not getting over it anytime soon."
"Okay that's your decision." I smile at Sammy.
"Why are you such a fucking angel?" He stares into my eyes.
"What?" I laugh at his question.
"Why do you have to be so fucking perfect?" Sammy gets dangerously close to me.
"S-Sammy..." I respond and watch as his forehead leans against mine.
"You act all innocent and shit, but I've seen you lash out. Like you did on Olivia yesterday. Why are you fucking bipolar?" He smiles at my shyness.
"I don't know... I just feel like acting different whenever it's necessary." I try to explain myself to him. Why has his personality changes all of a sudden. "I could ask you the same." I finally say.
"I just feel like acting differently, whenever it's necessary." He smirks at me. He just repeated my words back to me.
"Are you going to back up so you can take me home, or...?" I trail off.
"Yeah, why not." He says and gets out of my face. Sammy walks me back home with my hand in his the whole time. His personality changed again. We joked around and just talked about each other until I got home. Then we said goodbye and I knew I would see him again tomorrow. He's so great. I don't know how I became so lucky to have Sam.
But... I don't think I can do this any longer... I still have mixed feelings about Sammy. I'm afraid that he's going to hurt me. I guess I'm still upset over Jack. He makes me feel like I can't ever trust anyone with my heart, ever again. But, I can't just shut Sammy out because of my own insecurities. I should give him a chance. It's not fair, to him, to just not trust him when he's done nothing wrong. I should just give him a chance to see if he's worth giving my heart to. I care about him a lot, and we only met two days ago. It's weird, how love works. But this isn't love. I don't love Sammy. Not yet.
I get a text from Lexi.
Lexi: so I heard about Sammy sticking up for you when Jack came around😏
Rylee: where did you hear that from?
Lexi: that's not important so you and Sammy are a thing now, huh😏😏😏
Rylee: no we're not a thing. We just met, two days ago😑
Lexi: awwww😩😩😭😭😭
Rylee: sorry.
Lexi: that sucks! Sammy is a hottie!😍😘😝
Rylee: yeah, well I'm trying to get him and Jack to stop fighting. Did you see Sammy's and Jack's faces? They were awful😔
Lexi: yeah, damn do those boys know how to fight😏 they will be fighting over you till the day you die☺️
Rylee: not if I can help it. Sammy and Jack already agreed to not beat each other up anymore.
Lexi: well that's good I guess😕 still would have preferred having them fight over me.
Rylee: who is this Shawn Mendes that you mentioned to me earlier?
Lexi: he is a boy from Canada who can sure siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing😗🎶🎤

Lexi: nope! He's popular on vine! He's going to be apart of a tour called Magcon!
