Its A Kind Of Magic (Previously 'Deciding')

Chapter 53: I Missed You

"So where are we going?" I asked Jack as we sat in his bedroom while he finished packing.

"That my love, is a surprise" he winked as I groaned.

He chuckled at me before placing a kiss on the top of my head.

Just as he'd zipped up his suitcase, the door bell rang. I inwardly groaned. Whoever was at the door was going to delay us from getting wherever it is we are going. As if I wasn't already anxious enough already.

Jack grabbed my hand and his suitcase as we made our way down the stairs.

When we got to the door, the bell rang again.

"God man, keep your wig on" Jack moaned playfully.

"Well in future hurry up and open the god damn door!" Callum complained as he strolled in.

"Sorry, we were upstairs"

Callum looked between the two of us then smirked.

"Oh I see" He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively and it was only then that I caught onto what he meant.

I blushed furiously. "Shut up Callum. We were packing his suitcase"

"I bet you were" He smirked causing me to glare and Jack to laugh. So I redirected my glare at him. He shut up straight away, what a smart man he is.

"Anyway come on, lets get going" Jack said, picking up both of our suitcases and putting them into the boot of his car. He tossed me the keys and I locked up the house.

I have to say, I was both shocked and fairly annoyed that Callum is coming away with us. Its our first mini holiday as a sort-of couple... I didn't want Jack's older brother with us as well.

I got into the car and I heard Jack ad Callum talking.

"Follow us in your car Cal"

"Okay bro, I don't get why I'm coming on holiday with you and Jess though"

'Yeah me and you both, buddy' I thought.

"You'll see"

I didn't hear the rest, I stuck my headphones in and waited for Jack to get in the car.

I was glaring out the window when all of a sudden Jack nudged me.

"What?!" I snapped, taking out one of my earphones.

"Woah, what crawled up your ass and died?" He chuckled.

I shot him a glare and put my headphone back in.

"Hey" he said pulling out my earbud again. "I was talking to you"

"What did you want?" I said in a monotone voice.

"What's wrong with you?" He asked.

"Nothing" I said coldly. "I'm fine"

"Well thats a load of bullshit. I know for a fact when a girl says 'I'm fine', she is not fine. I've heard you and Beth talk about Tumblr posts about that enough to realise its true. So whats wrong?"

I said nothing.

"Jess, talk to me. Tell me whats wrong. Have I done something?"

"Yes"

"Well for god sake tell me what"

"Why did you bring Callum along? Its our first holiday together since we admitted our feelings for each other and you went ahead and brought your brother along with us. I mean I get you haven't seen him in years and I understand that, but why couldn't you have just hung out with him when we got back?" By the time I was done with my rant, I was breathing heavily and I could feel tears in my eyes.
