DRABBLE 018 | I’ll Get You Back
This is sort of weird. It was made based on Wyatt’s reaction to news of Audrey and Brayden dating. I changed it because one of my forever otps is wydrey. I wanted them to hash some things out and see the issues that they have to work on. Natalie is at fault too, but only Jack’s came up in this drabble.
Jackson leaned back in his chair as he read what Danielle had texted him. He had suspected such, but he didn’t know that her new boyfriend would be one of his supposed best friends. He honestly felt betrayed and even more as he found out all his friends already knew. He had to hear that his heart had been taken from him by someone he wasn’t really acquainted with. He wondered when and how Joshua found out and also why he didn’t tell him the first chance he got.
Did he already know when he had warned him a couple of weeks earlier? He warned Jackson that someone would take her if he didn’t get to her first. He had naively given Jacobs the benefit of the doubt.
He didn’t blame Natalie.
He couldn’t blame Natalie.
He sure as hell blamed Lucas though.
He was pissed, extremely pissed.
Nathan told him that he was heading back to school before they ended up getting caught by one of the teachers. Jackson was too focused on getting drunk to remind him that he just so happened to be the current Head Boy of the school. So, instead, he only nodded as Nathan left him alone.
He told the bartender to keep sending drinks to a back table.
“Here are your dri-”
“He doesn’t need anymore.”
Jackson looked up to see who had taken away his temporary pain reliever and found himself staring into a pair of familiar blue eyes.
Natalie.
“What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to take you back to the dorms.”
“Why?”
“Because you’re drunk.”
“So…”
“Jackson!”
“What? What? What do you possibly have to say to me? I’m sorry for lying to you?
“No, because I’m not sorry since I never even lied to you. Unless I did? Look, I’m not even sure why you’re mad at me.”
Jackson rolled his eyes. “Lucas.”
“What about Lucas?”
“I saw the pictures.”
“That’s why you’re drinking?” Natalie sat down next to him close enough that their thighs were touching. “You’re such an idiot. I’m not dating Lucas. The two of us are just friends, okay? That kiss meant nothing. We were just trying to see if there was anything more.”
“Danielle said..”
Natalie groaned. “Danielle is a fucking troll. She’s been having a tough time lately and destruction makes her feel better. I love her, but I’m going to kick her ass soon.”
Silence.
Neither of them spoke a word until Natalie looked at her phone to check the time.
“Look, if we’re being honest here. I came here this year hoping to get over you. If we’re being honest here then I… I regret breaking up with you, but a part of me also feels like it was needed. I..was hurt because of Hanna. I… why Hanna? You two have always been close. I don’t know. Who knows?” She paused for a quick second. “Maybe I kissed Lucas because he was my closest friend and he’s also yours. I don’t know. I don’t know anything anymore. All I know is that I…my heart still hurts and maybe I wanted you to hurt too.”
“I see. I guess I can understand that too. I’m going to win you back.” He replied determinedly.
“Let’s go back before we’re fired on the first day back.”
Natalie stood up and waited for Jackson to get his bearings. Jackson threw some money down on the table and the two headed outside.
