Rather than someone else waking me up,as per usual.I actually woke myself up this morning.I woke up around 10am.And just laid in bed going through my phone for a while.I noticed I had another message from Payton.

Morning 😘😘~Payton

The emojis he's used send my mind into an instant flashback to yesterday at the park.We kissed,it wasn't a big kiss,more like a small peck.But we kissed nonetheless.

Why did I do that?I feel so bad,I'm a terrible girlfriend.What am I gonna tell Jace?With all the questions running through my head I decide to call the one person who I know I can talk to.

"Hello" I hear Lara's voice say cheerfully on the other line.

"Morning,hey Lara have you got anything on for today?"

"Nope,I've got a free day."

"Great" I say getting an idea,"we can spend the day together.Then I can tell you my news.I'll text Stella."

She seemed to give me her full attention when I mentioned the news,"What news.Ooh I hope it's juicy."

Rolling my eyes I answer her,"I'm not telling.Get here by 2.See ya"

She says goodbye and ends the line.I quickly message Stella the plan for today and then I lock my phone.I'm about to get up and get ready when Jace forwards me a message.It was a photo if me and Payton at the park yesterday.It wasn't good quality,but you could clearly see is together about to kiss.

I let out an annoyed groan falling back onto my bed."What's wrong honey?" My mom asks from the hallway

"Mom?"

"Yeah" she says walking in and sitting on the edge of my bed

"What do you do if your in a relationship,where you love the other person and they love you but you start to feel things for someone else?"

She gives me a sympathetic smile,almost as if she knew why I was asking,"Then you were never really in love,So I think you should be honest with the person your in a relationship with.And take some space and time for yourself."

I give her a small nod,then pull her into a hug,"thanks mom" she smiles kissing me on the cheek then getting up to leave and carry on doing the laundry.

So I needed to be honest with Jace,I needed to take a break and figure out my feelings.But what if Payton doesn't feel the same way?What if he's just playing me?Maybe he saw the person there with the camera and decided to kiss me so the photo could've been taken.

Pushing the thoughts to the back of my head I get up and go into my bathroom so that I can get ready for the day.

Abigail's Outfit

Once I've gotten ready,I decide to call Jace and let him know that I'm coming over

Once I've gotten ready,I decide to call Jace and let him know that I'm coming over.Who knew there was a such thing as tiktok paparazzi.

"Abi," I hear him say on the other line.

"Jace I'm coming over we need to talk" he ends the call instantly without saying goodbye.Shits about to go down.

"Bitch,wait up!" I hear Emmy say as she follows after me down the stairs.

"What Em?I have somewhere to be and it's important" I say turning to face her.

"I need a lift to work"

"No"

"Mom!" She shouts causing my mom to shout back down to us,"Abigail,give your sister a lift."

Rolling my eyes I let out a frustrated huff,and grab my keys to go.I don't bother eating breakfast.I'll just buy something at the mall when I drop of Emmy.

As I get into the car I turn to Emmy and say,"your job can wait I have something to do." Then I drive off in the direction of Jace's house.

Once we get there I step out of the car and run up to his driveway.Knocking the door and waiting for someone to open it.I don't have to wait long until his mom opens the door.

"Abi,nice to see you" she says smiling down at me.

"Morning Grace,do you mind if I talk to Jace?"

She nods stepping back so that I can enter the house."He's probably in his room,if he's asleep just wake him up."

I thank her giving her a polite smile as I head up the stairs into Jace's room.

"Jace" I push the door open to see him sitting on the bed.He has his head in his hands and his leg is shaking uncontrollably.I'm ridden with anxiety,as he stands up and looks down to make eye contact with me.

"You like him don't you" he says in a deep voice

My heart breaks within seconds of him saying this and I pull him into a hug wrapping my arms tightly across his waist.I told myself I wouldn't cry but I do,tears begin to fall as I sob in hid arms.

He instantly hugs me back resting his cheek on my head and gently rubbing my back.What did I do to get such a loving and sweet guy?And why did I mess it up so badly?

"I'm sorry"is the only thing I'm able to say through my crying fit.

"It's okay Abi,shhhh just calm down"he says as he continues to hug me.

It takes me a while to calm down but when I do I pull back to look him in the eyes.Jace lifts his hands to cup my cheeks and he brushes away the tears with his thumbs.

"I really do love you.But you were right.I don't know what's real and what's fake with me and Payton.And it's confusing me." I whisper

"I know,Abi I think we should take a break,"

"You mean,b..break up for real." This causes me to break down in tears again,I must look like a maniac right now.

"It's a good thing you didn't wear make-up"he laughs causing me to chuckle a bit.He wipes away my tears again and says,"it's the best thing for us.Abi you have to be in this public relationship and you may not realise but it hurts seeing you together when you're supposed to be with me.Its toxic and we can't do it like that."

"B..but I love you"

"And I love you.But we need some space.I'l wait for you Abi,the whole six months.And if when it's over you still feel the same way about me,we can go back to being a couple."

It takes me a minute to process his words,but when I do I can't help but give him a small smile,"will you still be my bestfriend?" I ask pouting my bottom lip

"Yes" he chuckles,"I'll always be your best friend." His words make my heart melt and i pull him into another hug.Why does he have to be so god damn cute?It makes me feel like even more of a douche bag.

A/n:Oh I love Jace 🥺🥺 I think he's the first nice boyfriend I've actually written and I love it.He's so cute,but he needed to go.Now Payton can come in and take his place.But keep Jace in your prayers,the poor boy thinks she's gonna come back for him.
