savannah's pov

i moved my lips in sync with jack's, remembering how much i missed them after all these months. his hands held me at the waist and my fingers naturally found their way into his hair.

his lips soon descended to my neck, causing my breathing to hitch a little.

"i've missed this so much" he muttered in between kisses. "...i've missed you so much".

i bit down on my lip to control any moans until a knock on the door suddenly interrupted us.

we immediately separated, exchanging looks before jack headed to the bathroom and i sat down on my bed.

the door slowly opened and tristan came in.

"hey" he nervously entered, wiping his hands on his pants.

"hi" i said back, trying not to look so flustered from that make out session.

"can we talk?".

i nodded my head, allowing him to sit down beside me and find his words.

"look, savannah" he held onto my hands. "when i told you that i loved you, it just came out and i didn't say it to expect a response. i mean, it would have been nice, but what i'm saying is that i'm not rushing you. if you're not ready to say it back then that's fine".

i lightly smiled at his words without any idea of how to reply. i just kissed another man when tristan's here, saying that he loves me and i just completely betrayed him.

he pulled me in for a hug and wrapped his arms around me.

"i don't want to loose you over this. i like where things are going with us, you make me really happy and i'm just excited to see what the future holds for us" he told me over my shoulder.

i hummed to somewhat agree and with jack still hiding in the bathroom, we were left discussing our relationship for another five minutes, but tristan really did most of the talking.

"let's go back downstairs" he took my hand and i followed him out, looking back at the bathroom door.

"actually," i let go. "i need to use the bathroom, so i'll meet you down there".

"okay" he placed a small kiss on my cheek and i waited for him to walk all the way to the bottom of the steps.

i turned to go to the bathroom, but i instantly bumped into jack who cupped my face and went straight to kissing my lips.

by his hands, i harmlessly pulled him off.

"jack, wait" i sighed.

"what?" he questioned, taking a small step back but he looked at my doubtful expression and dropped his shoulders. "you and tristan, you're not actually staying with him?".

i shrugged, "what did you expect?".

"something along the lines of you and him are over" jack told. "what about us?".

i anxiously rubbed the back of my neck, "i need time to think".

i began leaving the room with jack following.

"tristan is a good man, i can't just drop him like that and act as if i was never interested in him. he loves me and—".

he cut me off by gently turning me by my shoulders, "i, love you".

jack whispered as we both stood at the top of the steps and it amazed me how, to this day, my stomach still fills with butterflies every time he says that.

"and the difference between you and tristan is that i at least know that you love me too" he added.

his words left me running a million thoughts in my head. i had to continue walking down the steps since i would never be able to comprehend any of them, if jack's brown eyes are staring right at me.

he quickly came after me, letting out a small groan, "he's lying to you, savs!".

i paused just in the front door hallway, slowing facing him.

"tristan. he's keeping things from you about his past" jack elaborated.

as if on cue, tristan walked in from the kitchen, "sorry, i'm what?".

he had a chuckle in his voice as everyone else soon followed to see what the drama was about this time.

"jack, what are you talking about?" i questioned him, feeling my heart sink by the second.

"go on, tristan. tell her, tell her about your dirty little secret with this alexa".

tristan smirked, "i think that you're a little confused, jack. i know that you and my girlfriend have history, but would you really stoop that low to make up lies about me?".

i shook my head, "jack wouldn't do that. he wouldn't lie to me, especially now".

"tristan's married, okay. he has a wife...and a child too" jack explained.

just as that left his lips, my palms grew sweaty whilst i turned to face tristan.

"is it true?" i questioned him and he was quick to step closer towards me.

"can we not do this here? in front of all your friends?" he whispered as i could only feel so hurt when i looked up at him.

"we'll give you some privacy" sammy announced, causing everyone to start going back to where they were.

"no, stay" i stopped them with my voice beginning to crack. "tristan, whatever you have to say, you can say it in front of them too".

he let out a deep breathe, pulling his hands down his face, "okay. yes, i'm married".

i stepped back from him in disbelief.

"but we're on the verge of getting a divorce. i'm trying to get her to sign the papers, but she's also carrying my four month old baby".

i shook my head, barely grasping what he was telling me.

"four month old baby? so you two had sex—".

"just before you and i got together" he continued for me.

"but what about all that stuff you said about not being in a serious relationship in years and—".

"it just happened, it meant nothing. but now there's a baby involved and she thinks that i won't be involved if me and her not together, but i'm working on convincing her that it won't be true".

"and where do i get a say in this?!" i exclaimed. "were you just expecting me to be okay with it all, rise to the challenge and become a step mom to your secret child?!".

he tried to hold onto me, "no, it wasn't like that".

"when were you going to tell me?" i spoke in a much softer tone, feeling my eyes water slightly more.

"i'm guessing he wasn't" jack answered.

"this is between me and her, so you can back off" tristan aggressively pointed his finger at jack, who scoffed with no sort of care. "i don't even know why you were eavesdropping on my conversation in the first place".

"if i hadn't have been listening, you would have carried on lying to savannah for who knows how long" jack started to argue back.

"at least i wouldn't have cheated on her or better yet, gotten so jealous that i stupidly land myself in prison" tristan retorted, causing jack to hastily come forward and retaliate.

"guys, stop! tristan, you know that jack never did anything wrong and you had no right to bring that up" i sternly told him.

they both calmed themselves and took a few steps back, giving one another a hateful glare. i stood in front of tristan, watching as he now stared at me with hope that i would have some sort of understanding.

"i told you that my trust levels were so thin now, because for some reason, i'm constantly being lied to by the people closest to me. yet you still went ahead and did this" i spoke, my developing tears quietening my voice.

"savannah, i-i love you and—".

"but you don't, tristan!" i yelled at him. "you kept all of this from me, so clearly don't".

i exhaled heavily, pushing my hair back as i could feel the height of my emotions on the verge of exploding any second.

"i can't even be here right now" i told. "where are the car keys?".

i started to desperately search for them since getting in that car and driving away was my only option to be somewhere where all of this bullshit can't hurt as much.

"savannah, you shouldn't drive when you're this upset" johnson advised.

"and you've already had a few drinks tonight" lauren added.

"just tell me where the keys are" i said a little louder.

i noticed most of their eyes turn to one direction, so i followed their glance to see them looking at nate.

i held out my hand, "nate,".

"savannah, come on. just stay here, so you two can at least talk it out".

i ran my fingers through my hair, "no! just give me the god-damn keys!".

nate eventually dug into his pocket and threw the keys for me to catch. as soon as i had them, i headed for the front door.

tristan quickly held my arm back, "savannah, please! let me explain".

i yanked out of his grip with my eyes narrowed at him, before going outside to the car. i unlocked it and tried to open the driver's seat door, although someone's hand pushed against it to restrict me from getting in.

i looked up and jack stood over me, "savs, look at me".

"no" i said, tears falling down my cheeks as i used all of my force to try and open the door more.

"look at me!" he held on my face with both hands, directing my attention to him. "i'm not letting you get in this car. just come back inside and we can talk about—".

i pulled him off me, "no! what good does talking ever do, jack?! just...just leave me alone right now".

he stared at me defeatedly as i finally got into car, stared the ignition and immediately drove away from the cabin.

i wasn't sure where i was going, but i was driving down this dark and empty road with tears heavily falling down my face.

i'm just so fed up with being lied to and being treated like shit.

i hate how i put so much trust into people who only ever end up letting me down. maybe it's just me and i'm the cause of this all — i'm gullible, i trust too easy and stupidly tend to think that if one or two men have already fucked me over, then it's unlikely for the next to do the same.

i continued to drive, trying my best to hold in the rest of my tears. my phone constantly rang with calls and texts on the seat beside me. a few from my friends, then tristan, and also jack.

jack. kissing him today just reminded me of how simpler things were before tristan, or nadine, or max. just us and i never even managed to tell him that i still love him too.

the calls and texts were starting to make me go insane, so i figured that if i texted jack back then they'd all leave me alone.

the roads were pretty empty, so i held onto my phone and started typing a message to him to say that i was sorry for being the way i was and that i love him.

but i was suddenly disrupted by the loud noise of another car aggressively pressing their horn.

i glanced up, seeing that i managed to get myself into the wrong lane. my body instantly flinched back with no space to swerve, as the car started coming directly at me.
