Forbidden Love/ Fack/ Jyatt (Book 1) FINISHED

20- Friendship & Dms

JACK's P.O.V.
My dad calls me
- Hey
- Can I take you to set today?
- Sure. I'm on the bus. You can pick me up at the bus station
As he said, he takes me to the MMI studio, but the trip is pretty weird. He doesn't speak much. Something is different.
- Is everything okay?- I ask
- I have something I need to tell you
- Are you okay?
- Not exactly
- Is it getting even worse?
- Not that worse. But that's not the point
- Then what is?
- Listen son...
- What's wrong?
- As you may know, I can't really keep being the one to manage your career; Jana left, and your mother is not really the most conscious person.

That's true. After the divorce, mom has been medicated by lots of doctors because she suffers from depression, and right now, her depression is worse so her medication is stronger and she goes blank a lot of times per day.
There's no way she can handle my career
What's his point? Is he going to make me quit? Is my dream over?
- So it's time you manage it yourself
- What?- I heard him perfectly, but I can't believe what he just said
- It's time you manage your career. I think you're old enough, Jack. You can do whatever you want, but don't screw it up. Every decision you take is important
- I won't
- Promise?
- Promise
We hug
- Okay, daddy. Bye
- Bye son. Have a nice time. It was a pleasure working with you- he says, with a smile
I haven't realized how sad this actually is. If he's letting me manage my own career, is just because he's freaking dying, and he knows it
He knows he won't be able to be by my side much longer.
When I go in the studio, Reylynn and Chris are crying. I run to them, confused. I have no idea what's happening, but no one is filming.
- What happened?- I ask
They hug me
- They just cancelled Me, Myself and I
- What? Cancelled? That's impossible. We're already starting season 2...
- They don't care, apparently.- Chris looks at Reylynn and fakes a smile
- Is this some kind of joke?
- No! Idiot! We're done... this is all done.
I suddenly start crying. I can't lost MMI too. It means a lot to me.
- So this is the end?
Chris nods
- This is ridiculous. I can't believe it.
The director looks at us and fakes a smile
- Are you going to be okay?- he asks
- Yeah... I'm just sad because there are worse shows that lasted much longer. I mean... Me Myself and I was really good
- I know, kiddo. It's not fair, but there's nothing we can do about it. They took a decision.
- What if we sign a petition?
- I don't think that's possible, but you can try if you want
We go around set, take a lot of photos to remember everything, and finally leave.
The three of us go to Reylynn's house
- I can't believe it's over
- Me neither
- What's next for you guys?
-  I'm coming back to NYC- Chris fakes a smile
- I'm just gonna stay here, and audition for all the roles I can, until I get one...
- What about you?- Chris asks me
- I guess I'll just get things together and try to get some roles...
They nod
- Oh, by the way. I need to get to New York, so... can you take me when you leave?- I ask Chris
- I'm leaving by bus
- Oh. Okay. I'll take that bus with you then
- Okay
- You're leaving too?- Reylynn can't stop crying
- Sorry. I'm staying at Finn's house now and he lives in New York
- You're living with Finn?- Chris asks
- Yeah
- Why?
- Because he's my boyfriend
They look at me and I finally tell them everything about dad
- Wow, Jack. I'm...
- Oh c'mon! Don't do that. Whoever I tell about my dad's problems, the reaction is exactly the same. I don't need a hug, or anyone's pity. I didn't want to tell anybody, but now everyone knows.
- Are you...?- Reylynn starts
- I'm okay!- I scream
Those last two words, take me back to when my parents got divorced, four years ago
- Jack?- my mom asks, still crying.
She knocks the bathroom door where I'm in
I suspire and lock the bathrooms door. She can't see me like this. I can't afford to stress her even more
- Son? Are you okay?
- Yes mom. I'm fine...
I look down at my wrists and clean all the blood that's now covering my new wounds.
My soon-to-be-scars, are now all around my arm. I feel miserable and to be honest, I can't help but hurting myself. That's the only thing I can do in moments like this. Although it makes me feel more useless than I normally do, I don't think there's any other way to feel my pain as much as I want to.
I just don't think it's fair for them to be suffering that much. I feel totally guilty for their divorce. I'm probably not the reason they decided to do this, but for some reason, I can't help but feeling the guilt
- I'm okay- I whisper

- Jack?- Reylynn asks, confused- You just went blank for a minute
- Oh, yeah. I'm here. What's up?
- Finn's calling you
- Okay
I answer
- Hey Finnieboy
- Hey. I just fired my manager
- Wait. What?
- Yeah. He had another delation for abuse
- Finn! That sucks. He didn't touch you. Right?
- What!? No!
- Oh, thanks Fack
- By the way, I saw some account uploaded some of Ellie's dms? She's ridiculous
- What has she done now?
- She said she gets a boner when she sees me? I haven't even met her in person
- A boner? She doesn't even have a...
- A lady boner, she said.
I close my eyes and bite my lip
- Ugh what? That's disgusting
- Please check those dms
- I will
Finn says goodbye and I hurry to open my Instagram. I'm sure a thousand accounts are already tagging me on the dms
- A THREESOME!?- I scream
Reylynn and Chris get closer to me
- What happened?
- Ellie happened
- Ellie? How is she?- Reylynn asks, with a smile
- Ugh. I can't believe you actually like her
- Why?
- She's the worst
- She is...- Chris nods
- Okay, Chris? I need to go now
- Let's go then.
He kisses Reylynn and we walk to the bus station
- I have a few calls I need to do so please don't bother
- Rude
- Sorry. This is just so stressful
- What is?
- Some of Ellie's private conversations were leaked, and she talks about how hot Finn is, and how I offered her to do a threesome, and how small my dick is, and everyone's going nuts.
- What? She said you dick was small?
- That's not the point! She's a fucking bitch! Why is she even talking about me?
Chris nods and I call my manager
- Jack! I got you an...
- You're fired.
- What?
- My dad's pretty bad, and my mother's so medicated she doesn't even know where she is. So now I'm the one who's taking over my career. You're fired
- This will cost you
- Oh, shut up.
Chris looks at me, overwhelmed
- That was awesome
- Thank you. There's still one more call I need to make
- Ellie? Please tell me you'll fire her too
- Of course I am
- Hell yeah!
I call Ellie
- Hi love
- Don't you dare calling me that
- What? Do you remember MY dad is YOUR manager?
- Well, not anymore. I fired him. And you? You're fired too.
- What? Why?
- Because the threesome plans failed and my dick's too small for ya.
- What?
- Check instagram.

FINN's P.O.V.
As soon as Jack gets home, I walk to him and he kisses me on the lips. He seems... happy
- I'm free
- What do you mean?
- We're free! I fired Ellie!
- I thought you had already fired her...
- I did, but this time for real
- What do you mean?
- It's time
- Time?- he asks
- Time to go public, Babyboy
