Chapter 4
I was confused to say the least. I really liked Jack, and he was really nice. But then Mason, Mason is amazing. I love him, but if he hates what i do so much, how can we be together? I will never give something up that I love to please someone else. But if I love them both, then am I really not giving up something that i love\\?
So many thought ran through my head, I couldn't get to sleep that night. I just lied in bed, waiting for morning to come faster. I stared out my window listening to the sound of dogs barking, cat fight, sirens, the cars driving buy, the subway moving underground, the air planes flying by.
After what seemed like forever, the sun started to rise. I was just going to stay there but then remembered Justin's note, and knew i had to open the sub shop.
I groaned, annoyed with Justin. I got up, not bothering to get dressed or anything. Wen t downstairs and opened up. The morning wasn't very busy. A couple came in fro breakfast, but other then that business was slow. Finally Justin came home with Max, so i went back to my room. I thought about trying to go to sleep, but then just took a shower.
When I came back into my room, I went to my phone and saw i had a new message, I opened it up and saw that it was from Jack.
From: Jack
Hey, How 'bout a second date? ;) Friday night? 6:00p.m?
I stared at the text, not really sure what to say. I sighed, and hit reply.
To: Jack
Yeah Sure, that'd be great.!
Send.
I put my phone away not bothering to read his reply. I fell back on my bed and at some point fell asleep.
Friday
It was an hour before my date with Jack. I was honestly kind of excited. I felt a little guilty though, because all I could thing about was Mason. My brain was like the train who could. I think i can I think i can but instead it was just Mason, Mason, Mason, over and over again in my head. I was staring to get a headache. I was just coming downstairs when I saw Jack come in,
" Hey, Alex. Wow you look great~!" He said with a bright smile.
I smiled back. " Thanks, So do you."
We walked out the door, and got in his car. We were headed to an arcade Jack had told me. It was the same one Dean took me too. It felt like suck a long time since i had went out with dean. He was my first love but we grew apart. It was awhile until i met Mason.
As soon as i thought of mason, i couldn't stop. I missed the whole conversation in the car. All I was thinking was, I wonder where Mason is right now? Is he thinking about me to? Does he miss me? And then remembered talking on the phone with Harper. Is he really jealous? He said he was sorry. But I still felt mad at him. We arrived at the arcade. I snapped out of my mason daze, and got out of the car. Jack was already at the door. We went inside and took a seat deciding to eat something first.
" So is this more your kind of date?" Asked Jack with a grin.
I laughed. " Yeah, I guess you could say that."
He grinned again. We ordered some french fries and a pop. After we ate, we went to play air hockey. I won the first game 6-2. The second game it was tie. After that he wanted to play pool. I agreed and grabbed a cue.
We hung out there for a few hours, and then he drove me home. I said bye and walked inside before he could have a chance to kiss me. I ran upstairs and grabbed my bag, that I hadn't brought with me on the date. I had to work tonight, so I was leaving in an hour to catch the bus. I took a quick shower, since i probably smelled like ski ball and fast food.
I walked to catch the bus, and quickly took my seat.
The bus ride there seemed really short, as soon as i saw my stop i stood up and went to the doors. I jumped off, and jogged up the street to mu work. I went in the back door like usual and saw Adam. He waved at me and signalled that i go backstage. He put up 1 finger meaning to get ready for act one. I nodded and went to get ready.
I put my coat on the back of my chair and set by bag down immediately starting on my makeup and hair. I did my hair in loose curls and then did a smokey eye. I grabbed my outfit and got dressed. I was dressed and ready to go in 20 minutes. A new record. It seemed i was always in a rush when i was hear. But it was different then if you were going to be late to class for something, this was almost exilerating.
I went to the side stage and talked to a few other girls that i liked. While we were talking, I started to zone out, and think about Mason. Again. I missed him a lot. A lot more then a lot. I just wanted this fight to be over. But even though i knew i could end it and get back together with him, i just didn't want to yet. I couldn't figure out why though. My thought led me to Jack. I thought about how i had been the last week. All i could remember was being rather mad or sad. Except for when i was with jack. He made me happy. Without mason, i feel as though there's a whole in me that's missing something. But when I'm with jack its like its being temperately filled.
I walked on stage and got into position. I made my mind go blank. The curtains went up and the spot light was on me. All my worries went away in that second. I could deal with them later. For now i was happy to just dance, and do what i love.
