i could feel the day light reflecting against my eye lids - the brightness penetrated through them and onto my eyes, just as i heard the sound of camera clicking beside me. my eyes flickered open as they tried to adjust to the daylight, and i woke up to jack standing over me.

"what are you doing?" i chuckled as i rubbed the sleep away from my eyes. "did you just take a picture of me?".

"uh, no..." he hesitantly answered as i sat up in the bed.

i ran my hand through my messy hair and gave him a look to signal that i knew he was lying, then he gave in and took his hands away from behind him - revealing his phone in his hands.

"okay, you caught me. but only because you look beautiful when you're sleeping" he told me and leant down to my level, allowing me to cup his face in my hands and give him a kiss.

once he pulled away, i groaned and looked up at him. "why are you up so early? come back to bed and keep me warm," i pouted.

"not today," jack rejected and made his way to the bedroom door. "i'm currently making breakfast, so come on" he quickly winked with a smile across his face, then turned around to leave the room.

i questionably wondered what he meant since jack can barely even make himself a sandwich, but i threw on one of his shirts any ways and got out of bed to follow him downstairs.

i walked into the kitchen and the smell of pancakes immediately waved around my nose. jack stood over the stove and i jumped up to sit on the counter with my legs dangling down.

"since when do you cook?" i laughed and took a bit out of one of the strawberries.

"ever since google decided to be my little helper today" jack smirked and i playfully shook my head at his words.

"you're adorable, you know that?" i chuckled as jack moved away from the stove and came to stand in between my legs.

"thanks for stating the obvious" he joked as his large, warm hands ran up and down my thighs until they snaked around my waist. "...i'm sorry about yesterday by the way".

i pushed my hair out of my face before resting my arms on his shoulders.

"no, don't apologise. i understand" i assured, before feeding him the last bite of the strawberry. "plus, you made it up to me pretty well".

i bit my lip and a smile grew on his face. he then pecked my lips and began to prepare me some pancakes with blueberries, strawberries and powdered sugar.

jack and i were sitting at the kitchen island, eating and talking until the doorbell suddenly rang. we both exchanged looks and he shrugged to show that he didn't know who it could be, then dusted his hands off to go and open the door.

"johnson, nate, sam!" jack called out. "what are you doing here?". he waved his hand around behind his back, which i assumed was a signal to go and hide. so i did, and hid in the study room downstairs.

"bro, we're here to hang out" i heard johnson say.

"apparently madison's gone to stay with her parents for the weekend, so we thought that you'd be lonely" sammy added and i cursed at myself, because i knew that it would be hard to get rid of them.

i nervously scratched the back of my head and tried to find the nicest way possible of saying please get the fuck out of here to the guys.

"look, i really appreciate you all coming over, but i'm really tired and i just want to sleep today" i pretended to yawn and gradually tried closing the door.

"stop being such a grandpa, g" nate chuckled then barged past me to let himself into the house.

"wait, i smell pancakes. since when do you cook?" johnson suppressed a laugh alongside the guys, and i prayed silently that they wouldn't go into the kitchen and notice that there were two plates set out.

i happened to meet eyes with sammy and he gave me a look, that in my mind read; i know that savannah's here. i exhaled and subtly nodded my head at him.

"hey guys, if jack wants to be left alone. let's leave him alone," sammy suggested. "we can go visit big mike or something".

i gave sammy a small smile to say thank you and he nodded his head at my gesture.

"fine, we'll see you later bro" nate called out to me.

"we'll be back tomorrow, so expect us this time" johnson added before sammy practically pushed them out of my house.

"thanks, man" i told him once again and he patted my shoulder, as i held the front door open for him to leave.

once the door shut, savannah hesitantly came out of study room. "have they all gone?" she asked and i sighed while nodding my head at her, before we went back to the kitchen to continue eating.

i walked out of the bathroom with my towel wrapped around my body and with another one drying my wet hair. jack was sat on the bed wearing jeans and a shirt, and with his laptop in front of him and his eyebrows furrowing with concentration.

"hey, what are you doing?" i asked, and came to stand beside him to view the screen.

"there's just this paperwork that i left on my desk at work, and i really need them signed before monday" he explained before shutting his laptop. "so i just really need to make a stop there today...".

"do you have to?" i pouted and he pulled me closer by my waist as i began to stroke my thumb down his cheek.

"yeah, they're already a week overdue, so i need them to be completed asap" jack continued to tell me. "but, i'll be quick, i promise".

i sighed and pressed my lips onto his forehead. "...fine".

"cool, i'll be right back, okay" jack hastily assured me and i smiled at him before he grabbed his phone then hurried downstairs.

even though jack said that he'll be quick, i knew that work was all the way up in town, so i decided to fill up time by going down to the grocery store so that i could cook him something nice tonight.

i blow-dryed my hair then threw on some jeans, a sweater and converses before i left.

i turned off the ignition and took my keys out of my car. i checked my phone for any messages then went around to the car trunk to take out the grocery bag.

jack's car wasn't here, so he obviously wasn't back yet but i knew where he hid the spare key - under the flower pot by the door. i turned the key in the lock and dusted off my shoes, just as i looked up and took off my sunglasses.

"madison," i said, completely stunned at her presence.

she was sitting on the staircase with her head resting on her hand and mascara running underneath her eyes from crying.

"savannah, what are you doing here?" she spoke while trying to dab at her ruined make-up.

"um, i was just...you know how useless jack is at grocery shopping, so he told me to go out and get him some things" i explained, and mentally congratulated myself for lying so quickly. "just so he could cook you something nice, and i was just dropping them all off".

madison scoffed and shook her head then started to cry a little more. "yeah, right".

"why? what's wrong?".

she used a tissue to wipe her eyes then looked back up at me, "i-i think jack is having an affair".
