Song of the chapter-

One Last Time - Ariana Grande

I knew I had to tell Jack. It was inevitable. If I didn't tell him now, he's find out sooner or later, and that'd be worse than it coming from me.

"Hey babe" Jack kissed my forehead and hugged me as I entered the house.

"Hey... we need to talk" I was beyond nervous, but I kept my cool. Inside I thought I might die. I needed to cry and let everything out, but I couldn't right now. I could save that for the plane ride home, because there's no doubt in my mind we're over and he's sending me home.

"What's wrong?" He asked me as we sat down on the couch.

"That party last night...I got so drunk and I don't remember anything. Only bits and pieces."

"Same" He laughed, but I remained emotionless.

"Something happened" I looked at my lap. I couldn't even look him in the eyes at this point.

"What do you mean? Hailey you're scaring me..."

"I woke up in bed this morning... and I wasn't alone." I shamefully looked down again.

"With who?" He asked. I didn't even need to look up to know he was angry.

"Cameron" I choked out. For a second, it was silence. Everything was still and quiet. And then Jack jumped up, yelling.

"WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU SLEEP WITH CAMERON?! AFTER EVERYTHING WEVE BEEN THROUGH. I LOVED YOU, HAILEY!"

"Loved?" I asked, finally looking up at him with tears in my eyes.

"Past tense" He spat.

"I was drunk. I don't remember anything."

It was silent again, but I continued to speak.

"Did you know that taking advantage of someone who's drunk is rape..... Jack, Cameron raped me." More tears came out of my eyes.

"IM GONNA KILL HIM WHERE THE FUCK IS HE?!"

"On a plane back to California. I flipped out on him and made him leave this morning. I'm so sorry."

I got up and ran to the room, beginning to pack my bags. Jack followed after me.

"We can get through this, you know." He said. "You were raped. You can tell the authorities."

"He's Cameron Dallas. What do you expect is gonna happen?" I folded clothes, putting them neatly in my suitcase.

"You're Hailey Reneé. What do you expect is gonna happen?" He took my hands and stopped me from packing. "We can get through this Hailey, I know we can. We've gotten through worse even when we weren't dating. I lied earlier. I still love you, and I'll never stop."

"I'm sorry Jack. This is what's best. I.....I need to go home." I put my hands on the sides of his face. "I will always love you Jack. But I'm a terrible person. I don't deserve you. You can do so much better than me. I want you to find the best girl out there and I want you to grab her and don't let her go, okay?"

"I can't" He said. I saw his eyes getting glossy. I pulled out my phone and looked up plane tickets back to California. Fortunately, there was one for 10 at night, 5 hours from now. I bought them and went downstairs to the printer, which was attached to a Mac computer.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

I went on my email, printed out the tickets, and turned to him.

"Please please please don't do this Hailey" He cried. His voice cracked and I felt my heart break.

"I'm so sorry. I love you" I went back up to the room and shut the door, locking it.

I finished packing everything and it was 7, which meant 3 more hours until I had to board a plane. The airport is 30 minutes away, so I'll have to leave at like 8 to make sure I was early and had enough time.

-

Once I had to leave, Jack insisted on coming. I told him not to, but that wasn't enough.

We arrived at the airport and sat down in the waiting chairs.

"I can't believe you're leaving" He sighed.

I didn't know what to say, so I didn't say anything.

"Is this it? Are we over?"

"Yes, I'm sorry. You deserve a girl so much better than me."

"But I don't want anyone else. I want you." He put his head in his hands.

"I love you so much" I felt tears come out of my eyes as I spoke.

We waited in silence as the hours passed. Finally, they called my flight to be boarded.

"I can't believe it. This is it." Jack spoke. "I love you Hailey, never forget that."

"I love you too Jack, I always will." I leaned in and softly kissed him on the lips. "I guess this is goodbye."

"I guess it is."

"I love you" I hugged him tightly.

"I love you more Hailey" He held onto me.

We let go after a minute and we said our goodbyes. I walked to the terminal, but when I stopped to look back, I knew I couldn't bare to see him, so I kept walking. This is it. It's over.

I ruin everything I touch.
