Chapter 11
~Anthony POV~
Jas and I have been packing up her apartment since we left Lin and Pippa at the hospital. I'm so glad Pip woke up. Lin would be lost without her. I would be lost without Jas. I love Jas so much, and I'm pretty sure she is the one. I want to ask her to marry me, but not right now. It's still to early in our relationship. Jas is currently out grocery and furniture shopping, and I'm assembling her furniture that we had to take apart. When I finish assembling the last piece of furniture, I sit on the couch and go on Instagram for a while. While I'm scrolling, I get a notification that somebody tagged me and Jazzy in a photo. Probably just a fan shipping us. I decide to check it out anyways. What I see breaks my heart.

~Jasmine POV~
I finished furniture shopping and went to the grocery store. We don't need much, just bread, milk, and eggs. I put the bag in my car and then realized I forgot to grab butter. I head back to the store entrance. Before I can get there I am shoved against a wall. A man smashes his lips onto mine. I start crying in a panic. I hear a camera click.
"That's all I need." The man says, and walks away, leaving me crouched against the wall, crying. I am too fear stricken to move. I don't know who that man was, or what he is going to do with that photo. But I am scared. I force myself to get up, since it's September, it's getting windy. I convince myself we don't really need the butter and get in my car. I drive home. When I walk in, I don't see Ant anywhere. I find a note on the table.
'I saw the Instagram post. I'll come back later, but you need to be ready to talk. -Ant' It says. The Instagram post? What Instagram post? Oh no. I quickly open Instagram. I see that Ant and I have been tagged in a photo. I click on it. It's the photo of the man kissing me outside the grocery store. When I zoom in, I still can't see the man's face. So I won't know who it is. But you can clearly see my face, and the tears streaming down it. Had Ant not noticed that? But this photo has ruined my relationship with Ant. I'm lost without Ant. I don't know what to do. So I call Renée. She picks up on the second ring.
"Hey Jas!" She says.
"Hey. I need your help." I reply, a solemn tone in my voice.
"I'll be over in 10 minutes, you sound sad."
"Thank you so much Renée." I'm so glad I have friends like Renée and Pip. They are there for me always. I would call Pip, but y'know, she's still in the hospital. I start to cry. Ant doesn't love me anymore. He thinks I'm cheating on him. He's going to break up with me. He said I need to be ready to talk. He's going to break up with me. I love him so much, I don't want him to break up with me. But he probably thinks I'm a cheater. Why did this have to happen? I am full on sobbing now. Then Renée knocks on the door. I get up to answer it. (A/N aaaaannnnnddd Scott shows up. JK😂 [sorry that was crap]) Renée walks in.
"Oh Jas! What happened? Where's Anthony? Are you okay?" She asks, frantically.
"I don't quite know how to explain what happened. I'm okay, I guess." I choke out between sobs. Renée leads me to the couch and we sit down. She scoots close to me and puts an arm around my shoulder. She sits there and comforts me until I'm ready to talk. I open my mouth to speak.
"Wait. Before you start talking, we need to FaceTime Pippa. She can't be left in the dark." Renée says. I nod. Renée pulls out her phone and FaceTimes Pip. Pip picks up fairly quickly.
"Hey!" She says. Then she sees my tear stained face. "What's wrong?" She asks.
"Lots of stuff." I reply.
"Well, Lin is out in the hallway checking something out, and I'm bored and lonely in this hospital bed, so, spill." She says.
"Well, I was walking from my car back to the grocery store because I forgot the butter, and a man shoved me against a wall. He started kissing me, and I started crying and trying to get him off me. I heard a camera click and then the man was like 'that's all I need' and he walked away. I never saw his face, so I don't know who it was. When I finally got home, Ant was nowhere to be found. I found a note on the table. It was from Ant. It said: 'I saw the Instagram post. I'll be back later, but you have to be ready to talk.' So I checked Instagram, and the picture of the man kissing me. I haven't seen Ant since, but I know he thinks I was cheating on him. He's going to break up with me." I say, my voice fading into tears at the end.
"No, Jas. He loves you too much to break up with you. You must know that." Pippa says.
"Yeah, he loves you too much to do that. I'm sure if you explain to him what happened, he won't be mad. He said he would come back to hear you out, so just tell him. He'll probably apologize and then be all overprotective of you." Renée says comfortingly.
"I'll show you guys the post." I say, and show them.
"Did Anthony not notice the tears streaming down your face?" Pip asks, and I shrug my shoulders. "Because if he didn't, show him this as well when he gets back." I nod. Then my phone buzzes. I look at it. It's a text from Ant.
Ant🐜❤️: I'm on my way back home. Please be ready to talk to me.
I decide not to reply.
"Renée, Ant just texted. He's on his way home." I say. She nods.
"Ok. I'm going to leave. Is that okay?" She asks.
"Yes, its fine. Thank you for helping me." I say. "You too Pip."
"No problem, Jas. Anyyyywayyyyyys, Lin just ran back in here to tell me something so I have to go. Bye!" Pip says.
"Bye!" Renée and I say in unison. Then Pip hangs up. Renée gets up to leave.
"Bye Jazzy. Good luck." She says.
"Goodbye. And thank you." I say, and she leaves. I just sit on the couch and cry. I don't know what I'm going to do if Ant breaks up with me. Suddenly, the door clicks. Ant is here. I don't move. I just sit there, still crying. Ant walks in.
"Jas?" He says. He sounds hurt.
"Ant?" I sob.
"Jas are you okay?" He asks. I shake my head. He gives me a questioning look.
"I'm not okay. You're going to break up with me."
He looks hesitant, but he takes my hand in his. "No, Jas. I just want you to explain what happened. After I saw the post I was heartbroken. It wasn't until after I left the house that I realized you were crying in the photo. I tried to get back in a hurry, but I got stuck in traffic. I texted you to be ready to talk to me because I was worried about you. I kept asking myself who that man was and what did he do to you." He said solemnly. "I love you. I'm sorry I put you through that. I should've known you would never cheat on me." He apologized. I take a deep breath.
"I'm sorry for thinking you were going to break up with me. I love you too." I said, calming down and stopping my sobs. I squeezed his hand three times and he smiled. He squeezed mine three time back. "All he did was kiss me and take a photo. Nothing else. I'm fine, just a bit shaken that I don't know who it was." I explain.
"Jas, thank gosh you're okay. I love you." He said before leaning in and passionately kissing me.
