JACK'S POV
Our lights are off and me and the boys are in our beds. I am scrolling through my Instagram feed to get my eyes tired. Kim's new post interrupted my before-bed scrolling. It was a picture of her and a boy. I opened the boy's profile. Wow, the guy on the picture was really tall, good looking, fit and basically hot in every way possible. She's in Miami, so the typical beach boy. Damn, Kim forgot about me really fast. How could she do that? She probably never had strong feelings for me. It wasn't even a week and she already has a new boyfriend. This picture really got me thinking right now. What should I do? Am I supposed to like the picture and act like nothing happened? Or shall I text her? How do I keep myself from feeling sad? Suddenly, a notification popped up. It was Tiffany, the girl Brooke picked for Trevor. That's a sign. I think I should ask her out. Kim moved on, now that's a sign I should move on too. I asked her out. We agreed on tomorrow after she finishes school and we're done with our practice. "Bro, are you okay?" Cole asked me out of nowhere. "Yeah, I'm totally fine. Why?" "I saw Kim's- you know what? Whatever." I put my phone down and tried to fall asleep. I couldn't. Thoughts about Kim and Tiffany are filling my head. Do I want Kim back, or do I want her to regret what happened? Maybe both. God, I have to fix the mess of thoughts in my head.
ALEX'S POV
I'm still staying in Owen's room. Patrick is also here. They didn't know what exactly happened to this day. I was still too hurt to talk about it till now. I finally decided to explain them everything. "Dude, it's not your fault. Try to not think of it. What is supposed to happen, happens," Patrick tried to comfort me. "I know, but me and Brooke dating was what's supposed to happen, not her cheating on me. And now I can't decide if I was a bad boyfriend or she's just a basic bitch." "What are you talking about? You and a bad boyfriend?" Owen fake laughed, "you were the best boyfriend possible. She's the bad one. Like, look at yourself. Handsome, in a really good shape, smart, but not creepy smart." "That's what's pissing me off the most. Thank you so much for listening to me, but let's sleep now, I don't wanna think or talk about Brooke anymore." "As you wish," they both stood up from the extendable sofa. I laid on my side and looked through the window as I was trying to fall asleep. It was hard, because I couldn't stop looking at the street lights and cars. How the rain outside was hitting the window and changing the whole picture. That's exactly how I feel right now. I feel like there's a sad rain inside of me. There's also a pain in my chest. Not like I hurt myself, but it comes from somewhere deep inside. Am I right when I don't talk to Jack? Yes, he's not on my side, but am I doing the right thing? What if Brooke wasn't actually kissing Peter? What if the bitch is Sabrina? It was pretty weird that she knew who I am and even recognized me. I don't know. It's too much to think about. I'm gonna try to finally close my eyes and fall asleep. I closed my eyes and continued thinking about Brooke and the whole situation.
I heard knocks on the door. Should I get up or not? I waited a few seconds and no one stood up, so I decided to go and open the door. I hope I'm not going to kick something with my pinky, it's dark and I'm kinda scared it's going to hurt a lot, because I've never done that and I can only imagine the pain. As I was thinking about it, it happened. The pain was just as I expected. "Ouch, stop, please stop," I whispered under my breath. Wait, it actually stopped. That's weird, I didn't know pain works that way. I got to the door and opened it. What the- "Brooke? What are you doing here?" "I came to explain you everything. Let's sit first." She grabbed my hand just like when we dated. I hope she's gonna tell me that Sabrina showed me something that I got wrong or just that I don't know the truth. "Where can we sit here?" "Well, I sleep on this sofa, we can sit there." "As you say." We sat there. God, I want to kiss her so bad. She looked me in the eyes. I leaned to her and kissed her. I don't know why, everything is weird, it was impossible to control myself. "S-Sorry, I didn't want to do that. Well, I did want that, but I should've controlled myself." "It's fine, but give me a few minutes without a kiss, I want to explain you what happened. So, you don't know the truth. Sabrina didn't show you the whole conversation. She's the bitch here. And yes, you got it all wrong. I actually didn't cheat on you. Please forgive me. I want everything to be exactly like it was before. No drama, no jealousy, no other people involved in our relationship." "Really? That was exactly what I was thinking? That's actually what I wanted to happen. You're really reading my mind." "So we good now?" "I guess." "Finally! I really missed you. I promise I'll never even do something that will make you think I'm cheating on you. Especially with Peter." "Thank you. And what about Jack? He's mad at me." "It's gonna be fine. You just need to-"
I blinked and when I opened my eyes I saw Owen and Patrick above me? "What are you guys doing here? Am I dead?" "Thank god you woke up," Patrick mumbled. "Wait what? Woke up? Was I asleep?" "Yes, and you were moving a lot, walking, talking and making sounds," Owen explained. "B-But how? It was so realistic. I could even think and do whatever I wanted to do. It wasn't like the most dreams when you're just kinda watching." They looked at each other and then at me. "You had a lucid dream!" They both exclaimed in one voice. "What dream?" "A lucid dream. A lucid dream is something like an upgraded dream. You can control actions, thoughts, I'm not sure about places, but I think you can control them too. Basically like the scenarios you imagine before bed, but more realistic," Owen explained. "Wow, so you're telling me I was dreaming and that's why I could control what others think and stuff?" "Yep," they both agreed. "Well that's crazy!" "Yeah, it's 3 am now, it's really, really crazy," Patrick joked. "Sorry for waking you up. But I have good news. I think I figured out what to do with my life." "Good to know," Patrick continued. "Alright, i can see everyone's fine now, let's go back to bed." "I'm already- Wait a minute. Am I laying on our bathroom floor?" They both laughed and tried to say "yeah". "Oh stop laughing, it's not even funny." They laughed even harder. "Okay, maybe it is a bit funny," I laughed with them. Then we all went back to bed. I could fall asleep now, because everything seemed to slowly get back on it's place. I know it was just a dream, but it gave me the answers I needed. I have to figure the thing with Jack on my own, but this dream tried to tell me that my brain knows how, because Brooke was about to tell me how I'm supposed to do that. We'll see how it goes, but I'm sure it's gonna go well.
*the next (same) day*
JACK'S POV
We're at the rink now. Alex is different today. Yes, we haven't talked since the horrible night, but I was watching him and I can tell the difference. He even said "hi" to me today. Something's definitely going on. Does he miss me? Nah, he probably just had a good dream or something like this made him super happy. I don't think he would want to talk to me. But who knows, maybe his jerkiness faded away. Whatever, I'll just mirror his actions and see where it goes. There's no time for him today, because I'm going out with Tiffany after the practice. We finished our practice and nothing really interesting happened. Well, except for the little talk I had with Alex in the locker room. "Hey Jack, do you have free time today? Maybe half an hour, I wanna talk." "I don't know, I have something now and don't know when it's gonna end." "Alright, hit me up when you know." "I will." I'm really curious about the topic he wants to discuss. He either wants to know something about Brooke, or he wants her to know something. These are the only things that came to my mind. Anyway, I'm gonna take a fast shower and then head to the place me and Tiffany are gonna meet.
"Hey Tiff!" "Hey Jackie!" As you can tell, we met. It's fine, the same as our conversations through the phone. Everything is pretty chill and we're actually having fun. It was cold outside, but we had warm clothes on, so we just bought Starbucks and sat outside. I've been thinking about the picture I wanna take the whole time. A really cold wind came out of nowhere. She moved closer to me and I wrapped my arms around her, because I think that's what I'm supposed to do. Like, I can do the jacket thing, but she already has her own, she doesn't need mine. I pulled my phone out. She turned her back at me and kinda posed for the picture. It turned out good, so I immediately posted it. After that, the wind stopped. Our conversations were still normal, but now I wasn't thinking about the picture. I actually didn't have a thing to think about, so I started noticing the differences between Kim and Tiffany. Like, not the way they look, but the way they act. Damn, why do I feel like Kim was better? Tiffany is amazing and all that, but there's no other girl like Kim. At least for me. She makes me smile in a way nobody else does. Just the thought of her makes me happy, but then I remember the new boyfriend. He immediately pisses me off. But then I imagine how happy she is with him and that makes me feel goo- Bullshit, I can't lie to myself. I hate him with my whole heart, because I know she won't make her the happiest girl alive. And I want her to be the happiest girl alive. No, actually, I want US to be the happiest couple alive. Yeah, that's exactly what I want. Happily ever after. God, why did I post that picture?
KIMBERLY'S POV
@jackhughes_: we cute
👥: @t.i.f.f.a.n.y
Oh my god. I can't believe Jack posted this. And I can't believe he's with that girl. Did they start dating? Probably. I guess I was right when I broke up with him. This jerk was cheating on me! I felt bad when I saw he hasn't liked my picture from yesterday, and I also kinda regretted posting it in the first place, but now I see that I shouldn't have felt bad at all. Jack really pissed me off with this post. Do I still have feelings for him? Yes. Do I have feelings for Adrian? I think so. Do I know what to do? Absolutely not. I can't decide, what's wrong, what's right. I want them both, but I can't have any of them. Adrian lives here and we'll have to be long distance. And you already know what happened with Jack and why I can't have him back. I don't know what exactly I'm feeling. It's like my heart wants Jack more, but my mind is telling me Adrian is better for me, but my mind also says it's gonna be hard when we're apart. Wait a minute, I'm doing online school, I don't have good friends in D.C. anymore, I think I can live here! Yes, it sounds crazy, but I think it could work. But no, I want to stay close to my family, and to actually go to college with Peter. Yeah, when we were little, we promised each other that we'd go to college together. That's the main reason why he still hasn't gone. Anyway, I have to figure this out soon, because me and Adrian agreed to watch the sunrise tomorrow. If only I knew what my heart was telling me...
JACK'S POV
I was on my way to our room when Alex stopped me. "Hey, do you have time now?" "Sure." "Alright, come to our room," he opened the door of his new room. We sat on two armchairs facing each other. "What's going on?" "Okay, I know a lot of things happened between me, you, and a few other people. There's no way I can fix the past, but I want to fix the things now. The silence treatment we're giving each other is getting on my nerves. We also aren't as good on the ice as we were before. Yes, we make it work, but it could be better. So, now I'm asking you to forget about what happened that horrible night and just pretend nothing happened." "Thank god, yeah, I'd love to forget about it. To be honest, I missed you. And yes, the silence treatment was the worst." "We fine now?" "Absolutely." We laughed and just stared at each other. "Bro hug?" I asked. "You just read my mind." We hugged. "Oh, and do you wanna come back? Your bed feels lonely." "Sure," he laughed. Great! One more problem is solved, the things are slowly getting back to normal...
