Chapter 24

                                    

                                          
Sage's P.O.V.
                          
I ran out of the room and ran to the Jacks' room. I began knocking on it like crazy, just hoping they haven't fallen asleep. 
                          
Jack J opened the door, rubbing his eyes with his fist. He squinted his eyes and stared at me. “Sage?” he said tiredly. “Are you alright?”
                          
I grabbed Jack's hand and pulled him outside, shutting the door. I looked up into his blue eyes. “Please,” I whispered. “Tell me it's not true.”
                          
Jack looked down at my hand grasping his, and then looked up into my hazel eyes. “What isn't true?” he asked. He seemed genuinely confused. “You have to explain to me what you're talking about.”
                          
I took my free hand and smacked his arm. “You know darn well what I'm talking about Jack!” I cried. “Is that why you've been acting so strange around me?” 
                          
I saw fear flash through Jack's blue eyes, but just as quickly as it'd appeared, it disappeared. He snatched his hand away from mine, and tore his gaze away from mine. “I don't know what you're talking about.” he muttered. 
                          
“Yes you do!” I almost shouted. “You like me Jack, please tell me it's not true!” 
                          
Jack sighed and put his hands over his face. “Sage, I-” he stayed silent for a couple seconds, before exploding. “Yes, I do Sage, I like you. I've liked you since I came to Canada to visit you. But I knew I couldn't like you. I knew Jack would kill me, but my feelings for you are so strong, I don't think I can handle them anymore!”
                          
I felt tears prick at my gaze, as I stared at him. Jack just stood there, staring at me, tears streaming out of his now grey eyes. “Jack...” I whispered. “I'm sorry, I-”
                          
“Sage, I know you and Jack like each other, but I need to do this. Please tell me this doesn't feel right.” he interrupted me, cupping my face in his hands, and he placed his soft lips onto mine. 
                          
I froze for a second, trying to process what he was doing. He was kissing me! I quickly responded to the kiss by grabbing his hands, placing them on my waist, and then putting my own hands around his neck. I began to softly kiss him back, pulling him closer to me. 
                          
I felt Jack smile into the kiss, as he swiped his tongue against my bottom lip, asking for entry.
                          
I was about to open my mouth, but then I pulled back. I started at him, trying to catch my breathe. That kiss felt... amazing. I felt butterflies exploding from me as I'd kissed the blond haired blue eyed boy. I continue to feel them now. 
                          
“Sage, tell me you didn't feel something,” Jack begged. “Tell me you felt absolutely nothing, and then I'll leave you to be with Jack.”
                          
I moaned, and began to tug at my hair. “Jack, I-I definitely felt something, but I-I don't know what to do. I really like Gilinsky, you know that, but now I'm confused, I don't know what to do anymore,” I dropped to the ground, and I began to cry. “Jack, I'm so confused now, you, Jack, and Taylor like me, and now I like you as well as Gilinsky. I-”
                          
Jack sighed and bent down beside me. “I'm so sorry for confusing you Sage. I'll give you some time to think.” he said before standing up and going back inside his room.
                          
Jack J's P.O.V.
                          
I walked back inside the room, where Jack G was sitting up. “Who was it?” he asked.
                          
I nervously bit my lip and thought back to the kiss. “Sage...” 
                          
I watched as Jack's face brightened up. “What did she want?” he asked.
                          
I sat down on my bed and cupped my chin with my hands, resting my elbows on my knees. “She wanted to speak to me...” I mumbled.
                          
Jack raised an eyebrow. “What did she say to you?” he questioned. 
                          
I sighed. “She accused me of liking her.” I finally admitted.
                          
Jack's eyes flew open wide and I flinched. “What? Did you tell her that you like her?” he asked me loudly. I nodded. “What? What if she liked you back? Did she say she likes you back? ”
                          
“Jack!” I exclaimed. “She likes you, okay? She knows you like her, and she likes you back! She's just scared of losing you!” 
                          
Jack froze. “She... what?” he stammered. He stood up. “I have to go talk to her.”
                          
I stood up and stopped him. “Wait until tomorrow. She's probably upset with me.”
                          
Jack sighed and nodded. “Yeah, you're right,” he went back to bed, pulling the cover over his body. “Thanks for telling me Jack.”
                          
I smiled, turning off the lights and getting under the covers too. “No problem.”
                          
...
                          
I have nothing to say about this chapter...
                          
I'm literally freaking out inside I love this...
