You let out a long sigh as you continued to scroll through Instagram. You were currently sitting on your best friend's sofa. Jack was doing what he did everyday at this time: recording videos. Although it was pretty cool that you were best buds with a famous YouTuber, it got frustrating at times. Everytime you wanted to hang out with him, you'd end up having to wait for a few hours while he recorded. After multiple occurences of this, you began to feel like you didn't really matter to him. Usually you left these feelings hidden, but today you couldn't help but show it.

You reminisced on the "old days" when you and Jack were in high school. You remembered how he hung out with the jocks while you didn't have any friends. You remembered the day you first met and the way he looked at you; it caused your heart to do flips. The two of you got closer and started to become good friends. Then the jocks found out. They thought you were a total nerd and loser and didn't deserve to be around Jack. They pressured Jack into leaving you alone, and he listened. He made fun of you in front of them and broke your heart. You remembered finally confronting him and him realizing he was wrong. He soon apologized and left his jock friends for good. You two have been best friends ever since.

A hand waving in front of your face snapped you from your memory. You realized Jack was kneeling in front of you. He had a wide smile on his face.

"Hello? Earth to (Y/N)," he said as he chuckled.

"Yes, I'm here, sorry."

"I'm all done recording, what do you wanna do?"

"I kinda just want to listen to music like we used to do. Do you remember?"

"Of course I do. We'd lay out on the top of my car and look at the stars while the radio would play."

"Yes. I miss the times we'd have 'real talk'."

"Wanna go chill in my room like old times?"

"Of course," you said as you rose from the couch and made your way to his room.

Jack plugged his phone into his speaker and shuffled his songs. You flopped down onto his bed and so did he. You both stared up at the ceiling as memories began to flood back to you.

"Jack? Do you remember high school?"

"Of course I do. Why?"

"I was just thinking about how we first met. Remember when you were friends with all the jocks?"

I'm not a perfect person

"Ugh, yes," he said with distaste. "That was probably one of the worst decisions I made in high school," he chuckled.

There's many things I wish I didn't do

"Do you remember that first day we saw each other? We stared at each other for a good 2 minutes."

But I continue learning

"Of course I do. You just caught my eye."

Your heart fluttered. "Why? Did I look weird?"

"God no. You are so beautiful; you captured me."

I never meant to do those things to you

His words rushed over you and made you feel amazing.

"Why did you reject me when you were around your friends?" The question blurted out of your mouth before you could stop it.

I'm sorry that I hurt you/ It's something I must live with everyday

A long sigh escaped Jack's lips. "I'm sorry that I hurt you, (Y/N). I don't know why I did that to you. I think I just wanted to look cool, even though I realize how stupid that was now. I'm sorry."

And all the pain I put you through

"I know, Jack. It's okay. I just never knew why you did that."

"If I could take it back, I so would, (Y/N). You deserve so much better than that."

I wish I could take it all away

You two sat in comfortable silence (besides the music) for a few more moments before another question pressured in your mind.

"Jack? Can I ask you another question? Just don't get mad."

"Of course, shoot."

I found a reason for me

"Why do you always have to record videos when I'm around? I feel like you don't want me around."

To change who I used to be

Jack propped himself up on his side so he could see you. "(Y/N), don't you ever think that. I will always want you around. This is going to sound stupid, but you give me the motivation to work and record videos. I feel encouraged around you."

A reason to start over new

"That's really sweet, Jack. Thanks for explaining it."

"You will always be valuable to me, no matter what I have done in the past. If I could take that pain I caused you away, I would. I totally would."

"Thanks, Jack. That means alot coming from you. I was really nervous what you would say because I need you. You're my reason to do what I do. You basically my reason to breathe."

And the reason is you

"You're the reason I'm happy. You're the reason I can smile in my videos. You give me hope and make me want to do my best in everything I do," Jack replied.

You subconsciously wrapped your arms around his neck. You ran your fingers through his hair and sighed before pulling him towards you. He leaned in close until his lips finally met yours. He was everything you needed and so much more.
