Amaryllis:I super promise it was just a coincidence! Lol, I had it written out before I read your review and was like 'man, they can tell what's going to happen next' I'm sure everyone saw that coming though. lol
Again, I just have to say that I super appreciate all the reviews, follows, and favorites! :D
Oh, and I guess those of you that read You Are My Dream can totes tell that I lied about an update being put up by Thanksgiving, and I apologize for that! I'm still working on the chapter, but I PROMISE it will be up soon.
Also, I realized halfway while writing this chapter that I started out the story by calling Flynn, Eugene, but when I actually made him appear I started calling him Flynn. I'm so sorry if it confused anyone(although they are the same person, hopefully everyone knows that) but I plan on editing it once I'm finished with the story(it's coming close to an end) sorry for any confusion c:
Enjoy!
Is This How It Should Be?
I fell back onto Merida's bed and threw my hands over my face as Merida paced back and forth, processing what I told her.
"Punzie, you're still with Flynn! You are aware that you just cheated on him too, right?"
I moved my hands away from my face and sat up, shooting her a glare "I know that, Mer. And it's obvious that I need to break up with him. Plus, if you hadn't of let me leave I wouldn't have gone to Jack's!"
Merida sighed and walked over to her bed, sitting next to me "It was going to happen whether I let you leave or not. You're stuck with the guy everyday." I shrugged and leaned forward, elbows on my knees and face in my hands. "How did he react when you kissed him?"
I let out a laugh and shook my head thinking back to what happened.
I don't know what made me do it. I reached a hand up and put it on the side of his face, making him look at me. He opened his mouth to say something, but before anyone words came out I pulled his face closer to mine and put my lips on his.
I could feel Jack hesitating before he kissed me back. I adjusted myself so it would be easier and less painful for my neck. I slipped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer, if that were even possible. I felt his hands move to my waist. He pulled away and I groaned. He smirked "Punz, I don't think we should be doing this."
I had so many thoughts running through my head. Mainly that Flynn cheated on me, and that I realized I liked Jack. More than I thought I did. "Why not?"
He chuckled and started moving away from me "You just got cheated on. You're upset, you'll most likely be regretting this later."
I shook my head, my hands now moving to grip the front of his sweatshirt and pulling him towards me again "I won't regret this, Jack. I want you, not Flynn."
Jack said nothing else. He kissed me. And if I have to be honest, it was better than before.
I smiled to myself thinking about what happened. Yeah, it turned out good, but now I have to deal with Flynn "He only pulled away from me because his sister came in and asked how long I was staying this time."
I could tell Merida was trying to hold back her laughter "So you booked it?"
"I'm pretty sure I was the color of a tomato." I was the first one to start laughing.
I had to admit that the situation was pretty funny, and once I laughed, so did Merida. "So, Jack was okay with it? Even though you're still technically with Flynn?"
I nodded slowly and then sighed "Actually, I don't he knew I was still with him. All I told him was that he cheated."
Merida shook her head and handed me my phone that I had thrown on the bed, in hopes of avoiding any calls/text from Flynn "You need call Flynn, meet him here, and end things with him." I took my phone from her and she gave me a smile "As much as I hate to say it, I like Frostbite better than Flynn. He's good for you."
"I thought you said Flynn was good for me too?"
"That was until I saw him cheatin' on you!"
"Well, what if Jack cheats on me too?"
Merida chuckled "I can't see him cheatin' on anyone. Besides, I've seen the way he is around you. He really cares about you, Punz."
I rolled my eyes and laughed "And you say you hate him. Wait until I tell him that you actually have a soft spot for him."
Merida's eyes widened and she quickly shook her head "Don't even think about it Rapunzel! Now you go out in the hall and call Flynn!"
I bit my lip and nodded before standing up. I've never had to break up with someone before. I quietly shut the door, but I knew that Merida was going to be listening. Although I was only calling him to tell him to come over.
I put the phone up to my ear and listened while it rang. I sighed when I figured he wasn't going to answer "Punzie?"
"Flynn, hi!" I did my best to sound excited to be talking to him, but I'm sure he knew it was fake "Can you come over to Merida's?"
I heard him moving around and then I think it was the sound of a shutting door "Yeah, I guess I can come over there. When?"
"Now. Now would be good."
I bit my lip waiting for him to answer. It took him a few seconds but he finally started talking again "I'll see you in a few minutes then."
I hung up and turned around right as Merida was pulling the door open. "He's on his way over now."
"Good!" she threw an arm around my shoulder and started leading me towards their kitchen "What are you going to say to him?"
"I don't know, Mer. I've never broken up with anyone. Or you know, ended anything with anyone."
I sat down at the table and Merida walked over to one of the cabinets and got something down for her to eat. "You just tell him straight up that you know he was cheatin' and you don't want to be with him anymore."
I sighed and looked down "What if I can't do it?"
"Either you do it, or I'll do it for you! And that wouldn't turn out pretty"
"You'd shoot him?"
She took a bite of an apple and nodded "You bet I would shoot him, Punzie!"
I gave my best friend a smile before standing up when I heard a car door shut outside. I gave Merida one last look as she ran to the kitchen window to watch. I walked out of the house and over to Flynn who was leaning on his car, staring down at his phone.
"Flynn?"
He looked over at me and gave me a smile before walking over and pulling me into a hug. I wanted nothing more than to just push him away but I figured I'd be nice. "Listen Flynn, we need to talk."
"About what Punzie?"
"Us." I took a few steps away from him and crossed my arms, looking at the ground instead of at his face "I... I don't think we can be together anymore."
I looked up at him and his eyes met mine. I in a way felt bad, but I shook my head "Why?"
I didn't take my eyes off of him when I said "I know you're cheating on me."
His eyes widened and he took a step towards his car "Merida told you, didn't she?"
"Did you think she wasn't going to? She's my best friend, Flynn! How could you? If you didn't want to be with me, why didn't you just leave me?!"
Flynn opened his car door "Rapunzel, you have to believe me. She meant nothing to me, and I do like you! A lot."
I heard the front door slam and Merida appeared next to me "Likely story, Rider. That's what they all say! Now get going before I get my bow and arrow and use you as my target" I uncrossed my arms and sighed, glad that it was over. Merida started pushing me towards the house "You need to get some sleep. You've had a long day. And come tomorrow you have to see Frostbite again and figure out that relationship."
I nodded my head and sighed. I felt like getting in a relationship right now was way too soon. But I believe Jack was worth it.
