Jeggy v.s Laurgelica
This is going to be a cute one-shot including Jeggy and Laurgelica in a college AU! Thx for reading!
Angelica's POV
I came back from my classes that afternoon to find Peggy crying on her bed and Eliza trying to soothe her.
"Ssh. Peggy, it's okay. Hey, look, if he can't see how wonderful you can be, he's not worth it. Understand? Please, stop crying. Do you want to tell Angelica what happened or would you like me to?" Eliza really was an amazing comforter.
"C-could, y-you?" Peggy said between sobs. I gave her a warm hug as I sat down beside her.
Eliza began, "So, today, Peggy met John at the coffee shop, near professor Washington's class?" I nodded, "Well, they met there for a date. They stated talking and John said that maybe they weren't right for each other, at least not anymore. He said, 'We just don't click the right way' and 'You've become like a sister to me' and 'We should see other people.' Can you believe that?" Peggy's sobs started again as I rubbed circles on her back.
At her last sentence, I shot up, "No! I do not believe this! I think I'm going to have a talk with John. He's in his dorm?" Peggy nodded. "Good. I'll be back soon."
Before I closed the door, I heard Eliza say, "Angie, go easy on him, please."
I muttered, "Oh, I'll try." And I started walking.
*le time skipperoo*
Knock knock knock.
"One sec!" I heard Alexander yell from the other side.
The door opened and Alex looked confused. "Angie? What's up?"
I spat, "Quite a bit of things. Is John here? I'd like to speak with him." I put my hands on my hips to add to my impatience.
"Uh, yeah, he is. Would you like me to step out?" I felt kinda bad for Alex, he looked awkward standing there.
"If you could. Eliza and Peggy are in our dorm if you want to hang there," at the mention of Eliza, Alex's face brightened. He really did love her, and I was glad that they were happy together.
"Alright, come on in. John! Angie needs to talk to you! Ok, I'll be back later. Bye John! See ya, Angie," he yelled to John and walked out, closing the door behind him.
I stood in the middle of the room as John walked out into view. "Hey Angie. What's up?"
"Don't, 'What's up' me! You know what you did to Peggy and I'm not happy. You have 5 minutes to explain yourself. Please, enlighten me."
His face became apologetic as he started, "Well, last night, I realized that I really didn't like Peggy the same way she liked me. I know that she wants a future, but I knew I couldn't give her the future she wanted. And..... I like someone else." He lowered his head at the end as my eyes widened.
"What?! Who?! Who could you possibly like more than Peggy, who, just as an fyi, you were the first boy she had the courage to confess her feelings to?!" I yelled at him, outraged.
"Angie, calm down, please."
"Calm down! I am calm!" I took a deep breath, "I'm calm. Go ahead."
"Well, it's, um, it's....... You, Angie."
"What?! Me! No!"
"Yes, Angie. And," he chuckled nervously, "If I'm being perfectly honest, I think I'm in love with you."
He grabbed my hand, "Angie, please, hear me out. I broke up with Peg because I couldn't keep lying to her. Everytime, I, uh, I kissed her, I thought of you. I'm sorry if I hurt her, but I was trying to protect her from being hurt more. Don't you see?"
"Perfectly...... But, why me?" I was mega confused now.
He looked surprised, "Because, Angelica, you're smart, beautiful, kind, loving, thoughtful, an incredible sister, and...... How could I not like a girl like you?"
"John, I won't do this to Peggy. I can't like you because it would hurt Peggy too much. I'm sorry." Two of my three sentences were true. I can't like John because I don't want to get hurt again. Do you know how hard it is to fall in love with a guy who you have to put behind you because he loves your sister? It takes time to heal.
I could see the hope flicker out of John's eyes as I looked at him with pity. "No, I understand. Just," he kissed me on the cheeck, "I get it. Let me know if you change your mind." He dropped my hand.
He sat down on his bed and lowered his head. I put my hand on the handle of the door when he spoke up, "Angie, tell Peggy..... Tell her I'm sorry."
"Okay. Goodbye, John." I shut the door behind me and just stood there for a second. What was I going to say to Peggy? If tell her the truth.
Before I left though, I heard John's soft sobs through the door.
John's POV
After Angelica left, I started crying. Now, I know, some of you may think that's unmanly, but everyone can cry.
I just sat on my bed with my head in my hands and cried. What have I done? I hurt Peggy, myself, and if Angelica tells her sisters what I said, I could possibly break the unbreakable bond of the Schuyler sisters. This sucks.
I hear a soft knock on the door and Angelica's voice, "John. Please, listen. I'm sorry, but I really can't do this. I'll think about it, but there's also my sister. I know you were trying to protect her, but she's still upset. I hope you can forgive me."
"Angie, I get it. You did nothing wrong. I'm okay. Go talk to your sisters. I'll talk to you later."
"But- okay. Bye John." Silence. I sniffed and curled up on my bed.
I hope she comes back.
Angelica's POV
Poor John.
I feel bad for him, but I really can't be with him.
I enter my room and see that Peggy's calmed down much more than the last time I was here. She looks up at me and I explain what John said, but using minimal details. I left out the part about him saying that he likes me and just leave it at he likes another girl.
"But, who does he like?" Peggy asked
"Well, you see, uh, this is gonna be hard."
"Angie, I can leave if you'd like. This seems like a sister matter," Alex awkwardly got up.
"Umm, yeah, Angie, I think Alex and I will just take a walk," Eliza also stood and walked out with Alex, hand in hand.
The door closed and I slumped siren next to Peggy who was now eating pineapple ice cream, her favorite.
"Peggy, look, I'm sorry. But, John told me that he likes..... Me," I told her, not looking her in the eye.
"Really?! Angie that's amazing! What are you waiting for?!"
"Wait- what?! You're happy?"
"Of course! You haven't had a boyfriend since John Church when we were in high school. You deserve this Angie." I couldn't believe my ears.
"So, you're not upset?"
"Not anymore. I understand now and I know that you secretly like him!" She nudged me. "So, why are you still here?"
"Because, Pegs, I don't know if I want to get involved in that way yet. I don't want to be hurt."
"Angelica, I get that you don't want to be hurt, but you can't be happy if you don't take any chances! You need to go talk to him and tell him these worries. He'll get it and if he truly loves you, he won't hurt you again." Wow, Peggy really is good at consoling.
"Okay," I took a deep breath, "I'll talk to him." I give Peggy a hug advanced stand up.
"And, Angie! Don't talk too fast!"
"Haha! You got it Peg!" I close the door and jog down the hallway to John's dorm. I take a deep breath, straighten my pink sweater, and knock.
He opens the door and my breath hitches. This is it.
"Angie! Come on in. So, is Peggy okay?"
I nod, "Yeah, she's totally okay now. But I'm not here for her. I need to talk. Sit." We sit on the edge of his bed and I turn to look at him.
"John. I think I like you, too. But, you have to understand. I don't want to be hurt. I've lost too much in my life already, and if I love you, then I want to share that love. This sounds so cheesy, but, John, don't break my heart." I look him in the eye and he looks right back.
"I would never in a million years have dreamed I would be with a girl like you. And never in a million years wild I break your heart, Angelica. I love you." He scooted closer, "I won't break your heart if you promise not to break mine." I nod.
He leans forward and our lips connect. We pull apart and it's my turn to speak.
"I won't break your heart, John."
He grabs my waist and kisses me again. "Good." He hugs me and I lean my head on him.
Not gonna lie, I kinda loved the feeling of being in his arms.
I sat up, "Well, I gotta go."
"Wait," he pulled me into another hug and I looked into his eyes. "Hey, do you wanna be my girlfriend?"
"Yes! Can we go on a date tomorrow?" He smiled.
"Definitely." I kissed him and we just sat there, holding each other.
I got up and he grabbed my hand.
"Peggy can wait," and held my face in his hands before kissing me again.
John's POV
I love Angelica. I really do. Standing there, kissing her, I realized just how much.
I know now that I want to spend the rest of my life with her. Eventually, her arms snaked around my waist and she hugged me tightly.
I knew then and there, I would never hurt this girl. I couldn't.
She kissed me again and I whispered, "Angie, I really love you. Like, a lot." I felt her smile.
We pulled apart and she looked up at me, a new sparkle in her eyes. I smiled and we left.
We walked back to her dorm to talk to Peggy. Her fingers intertwined with mine and I pulled her closer to me.
We walked in like that and Peggy's reaction was priceless.
MWAHAHAHAHA! There will a part two coming soon! Bye!
