"Somethin' inside of me's broken I hold onto anything that sets me free."
~*~*~
Jack and I have spent the week going to various places with the purpose of being seen together. It has definitely worked, my phone has been blowing up. Some good and some bad.
We have been attached at the hip once again and it's a familiar feeling that's snakes itself around my gut. As much as I don't want to admit it, I've been having fun.
All the places Jack has taken me to are places I never thought i'd get to go. I've been hanging out with the team, with the women and it's been amazing.
Noelia and I specifically have been getting along really well and I appreciate her more than anything. She's become like my bestfriend and I haven't had one of those in forever.
We are currently sitting on Noelia's balcony with plates of food in our laps. Jack and Sam went on a short road trip to play a few games so she invited me to hang out while they are gone.
"So, how's it going?"
"Really well actually. New Jersey has been treating me wonderfully."
She flashes me a smile. "That's great. I'm glad to hear you are settling in well."
"Thank you, I appreciate that."
Bringing the fork up to my mouth I take a bite of the food she made. I can't remember what it's called but it tastes amazing.
"I tried to hold off for as long as I could but I need to know. What's the story behind you a Jack? He's been a miserable little shit for as long as I've known him and then he walks in with you and I've never see him happier."
It takes a lot of effort not to roll my eyes. Good to know Jacks really putting on the performance of a life time.
"There's honestly not much to tell. We met though mutual friends about two years ago. There wasn't anything romantic to begin with but then all of a sudden it changed and, here we are."
She looks at me like she doesn't believe me and honestly, I don't believe myself. I don't have it in me to act when it's just the two of us. I'm tired of acting.
It takes only a second of Noelia staring at me for the dam to shatter. I break down into tears.
"Oh honey come here."
Noelia wraps her arms tightly around me and for a moment I feel my broken pieces fit together. It's not a permanent fix but it's more than enough to help me feel some sort of peace.
