No One Else Will Have Me Like You Do.

05.

The car ride to my favorite spot was silent. Jack kept fidgeting in his seat like a little child, he definitely had major ADHD. It wasn't awkward or anything like I thought it would be, for some reason it was semi relaxing. Usually when I'm with someone who I dislike with every fiber in my being, I tense up and curse them off repeatedly until they figure out I wanted them to leave. But with Jack, I didn't feel that at all. I actually liked not wanting to rip his balls off and shove them down his throat like I normally want to do when I see him.

He was different when he wasn't with his annoying little douche of a best friend. Just thinking about Alex Gaskarth made my blood boil underneath my skin, I felt my hands gripping the steering wheel tightly at the thought of his trademark smirk.

"Hey, you okay?" I was brought of my thoughts when I heard Jack finally say something. When I looked over at him he had his eyebrows furrowed and was staring at my hands. I followed his gaze and noticed that my knuckles were turning bright white, and shaking slightly. Letting out a long breath, I loosened my grip and gave him a small smile to tell him I was fine.

My smile grew wider when I saw the scenery in front of me. I loved coming up to this little place I had found a year or so ago. The dirt road that I grew fond of had Japanese Cherry Trees on either side of it. The flowers were falling off, which was covering the road and landing for a split second on my car. It was beautiful, and I couldn't help but feel extremely happy at the reaction Jack produced.

He was staring out the window with his big brown eyes wide, and his mouth was hanging open. I giggled a little bit, and shook my head slightly. When we reached the end of the dirt road, I slowed to a stop and turned off the ignition. In front of us was a small lake, with trees and flowers surrounding it once more.

"Jesus, how did you find this place?" Jack asked once we got out of the car and took a seat in front of the lake.

"A few years ago I stumbled upon it. It was a week or two after my parents' funeral when I took a midnight ride. Morgan was pissing me off to no end, acting like he was the boss of me and acting like the father figure, so I stormed out on him. I wasn't paying attention to where I was heading, or where I was turning, and I somehow ended up here." I could see out the corner of my eye Jack staring intently at me. I shifted in my crossed leg position, and shadily scooted away from Jack a little bit. I didn't like how our arms were almost touching.

Dammit, I definitely didn't like the situation right now, I don't even know why I brought him here! I haven't even shown Zoey, my best friend, this place before. I wanted to keep it a secret, but instead I brought the one person I could care less about here.

I always pictured bringing the one I cared about more than anything here, not Jack fucking Barakat. Not the one who tormented me for years, the one who made my life a living hell. I wanted to smack myself in the forehead for bringing him here. Now he's going to bring all the girls he slams here, and make this beautiful place into a one night stand club.

"Thanks for showing me this Chase." I snapped out of my thoughts once again, I should probably stop getting lost in my own head sometime soon. I looked up at Jack and saw that he had an actual sincere smile on his face. He turned his head and stared out into the lake, which was now illuminating different shades of oranges, pinks and reds. I couldn't believe I was sitting here with Jack, watching the sun set in one of my most favorite places of all time.

"I love it here Jack. It's always so beautiful, even in Winter." I smiled, remembering the fresh snow landing over the road, trees and the lake.

"Yes, beautiful." Jack repeated, looking over at me again and nudging my shoulder. I rolled my eyes and shoved Jack away from me. I couldn't help but smile when he laughed at my push.

Maybe Jack Barakat isn't so bad after all.
