A/N: I know it's been a long time, and I apologize. I have been in a very intense creative block, but I hope you like it, this is the second and last part of this story, I'LL LEAVE THE FIRST PART HERE to refresh your memory!
days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into a fucking month. Your heart was so heavy, after a year of talking to Jack every day you could now count on one hand the number of times you'd talked in the past few weeks, and it was always short conversations that ended with "I'm not ready to talk yet."
Obviously, you didn't talk to Urban either, from time to time you saw his stories and you felt that you weren't so alone in your heartbreak, but then you remembered that you were the reason for his misery, and you felt even worse.
For a while you thought about going out to partys and posting everything you were enjoying as if it were real, but that was not your essence. You felt bad, you felt more than bad, you felt like your heart had been ripped into a thousand pieces, and while you weren't going to share it with the world, you weren't going to pretend otherwise either. your socials had been empty for a month, and although you evidently didn’t know it, Jack was losing his mind without even a shred of your day to day, so that’s why he was right now in his car looking at your house from the distance.
His heart jumped when he saw your figure walk out the front door, you were wearing a baggy T-shirt and sweatpants, your hair was taken carelessly, and your face didn't have that usual glow, but despite that, you smiled, the reason for your smile was your puppy. jack had been the one who had given it to you months before, and you thought that there was no better name than "snoopy", since its black and white colors reminded you of the cartoon.
snoopy was playing with you in your front yard when suddenly his attention was diverted to something behind you and he ran off desperately. your heart skipped a beat at the possibility that some car was passing and hit him, but quickly a tall figure with curls took him in his arms. It didn't take a second for your pup to start licking his face excitedly, making him laugh. You didn't even realize when you started to smile at the scene… shit, how you'd missed him. quickly your smile faded and tears began to fall down your cheeks, your heart felt heavy and you just wanted to hide. you loved him so much that it hurt, it hurt to see his smile after a month of just seeing photos on a screen, it hurt to see how beautiful he was and how good he was while you felt like a complete mess.
you didn't even care about snoopy in that moment, you knew he was safe and would be fine, you just ran to your door and went inside your house for shelter. in your desperation you couldn’t hear the footsteps that immediately followed you, and in a few seconds his arms surrounded your sobbing body lying on the chair.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry" his soft voice said as a chill ran through your body.
"stop" you replied weakly after a few moments, pulling away from his body, but turning to look at him. despite the pain and the tears on your cheeks, you had to face it, "I know that our relationship is not strictly over, and that you needed time to think, but you can't pretend that the last time we saw each other you let me go sad and angry"
"That's exactly what I'm not trying to do, y/n. I came to apologize, to talk things over, as it should be, face to face and not through useless texts. I wasn't ready to talk to you because I didn't want to do it through a screen, I didn't want to apologize to you through a phone. I know I didn't handle things well and I'm here to try to fix them before it's too late, because that would kill me. you and urban are some of the most important people to me, and you can't imagine how miserable I've been away from you, I just... I just hope that urban can forget his feelings for you and we can all be okay again. that's all i want, i never wanted anyone to get hurt.”
"I know, Jack. Me neither." you took a deep breath, "and I can imagine how difficult and strange this situation has been for you, but…"
"but that doesn't justify my behavior, I know and I admit it, and I'll apologize a thousand times if necessary, I just need to know that our relationship hasn't died forever"
"jack" you sighed, "as much as I wanted, that could never happen. You know that I’m yours forever”
you watched as a tear fell down Jack's cheek, "I can only think about how lucky I am to have you, and how I wish my best friend could experience this with someone who reciprocates. I've thought so much about him…trying to think about what he must be feeling, and... I just want him to be happy, he's my brother"
"I know, Jack" you said, taking his face in your hands, "and he's a great guy, you'll see that soon there will be a girl who loves him for who he is, it's not very difficult to fall in love with urban wyatt, it's just that he has I've been in his own world all this time"
"yes, yes, it's not difficult... but it has to be impossible for you, you're mine"
"what? I'm making a joke about it, isn't that a good thing?" he told you smiling, and his smile spread to your face.
Jack contacted Urban that same day, bringing back the two people most important to him in less than 24 hours, making all the anguish he had felt in the last month go away. But 6 months had already passed, and although you had discussed it with Jack a couple of times, you still hadn't decided if it was a good time for you to share space with him again.
Until, one day, Jack received a message from Urban that left him completely confused.
"what's happening?" you asked, seeing how he was staring at the screen of his phone.
"urban...says he...has a surprise for both of us?"
at that moment you didn't know who was more confused of the two, but jack replied that you could meet him at that very moment. Urban responded with an address, and you and Jack got in his car.
once there, you realized that it was a restaurant, although nothing very elegant, just a simple place to hang out. Urban was sitting alone at a table for four.
jack and urban greeted each other as usual, but when his friend's eyes landed on you, you didn't know what to do. urban just gave you a warm smile and walked over to give you a little hug. that simple gesture made you feel like you could breathe in peace again.
The three of you sat down and started talking, there wasn't any tension or awkwardness in the atmosphere, which made you feel grateful that the bad time you all had was finally coming to an end, and all of that was reinforced when Jack asked " and what was the surprise?”, and as if by magic, a lovely girl walked through the front door, quickly meeting urban with her eyes and apologizing for the delay.
The eyes of your boyfriend's best friend shone like the sun at the mere sight of that girl, much, much more than when his heart was trapped by you, and the best thing is that this time, that shine was reciprocated.
the girl smiled at you, and greeted you enthusiastically. although before sitting down with you, she excused herself to go to the toilet.
Jack looked at his friend with a raised eyebrow, but a playful expression on his face, and Urban began to speak rapidly.
"This wasn't planned, not at all. Sophie isn't someone I'm using to make me forget about how I felt before," he explained, not wanting to refer explicitly to his feelings for you, "I think...I don't know, life is giving me something that I really wanted to experience for a long time, which is... to love someone and them loving me back in the same way. For the first time in a long time, I feel happy, and now that I think about it, I wouldn’t have met sophie if this bad moment hadn't happened between us, so I think that was the twisted way in which fate led me to what I wanted"
"fate, huh?" taunted jack
"Jack!" you said, giving him a reproachful look
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding" he said with his hands up, "I'm very happy for you man, I really am" he said this time, sincerely.
"Me too" you said, placing your hand over his for a brief moment.
"I know I never told you, but you guys are my example of true love, I think that if I get to have half of what you have, I'll be more than happy”
your eyes quickly filled with tears at his words.
"aw, baby" jack told you, hugging you, and urban just smiled, as the girl who had stolen his heart came up from behind and kissed the top of his head before sitting down with you.
