True Destiny

Chapter Thirty-Two

Corbyn's POV

I was staring blankly at my wall, laying on my side, on the bed. I just couldn't believe it, Jack rejected me. It didn't seem real. I thought we were perfect for each other, but I guess I was wrong.

I hear the bedroom door open but don't bother to turn around to see who it was.

"Corbyn?" I hear Jack call out gently. His voice making me squeeze my eyes together to prevent myself from crying.

"Corbyn please. Look at me, I have something I need to tell you. I have to explain myself." Jack said.

Yeah okay, he owns me that at least. I slowly turn around and look at him, Jack moving closer to me with a sad look in his eyes. I knew I must of looked like a mess. My eyes red and puffy from crying so much.

"Oh Corbs, am so sorry." Jack say, reaching out and holding my face between his hands. I can't help myself and snuggle into them, making Jack laugh a little.

"Corbyn...when I was six years old I was visited by a wizard that said I needed to follow my destiny when I turned sixteen. I know that sounds crazy bu-" Jack begins to explain to me.

I cut him off through, jumping straight up, my eyes wide. "THAT HAPPENED TO ME!"

Jack's eyes widen before he smirks, eyes saying he knows something I didn't. "Well that settles it then."

"What?" I ask, not getting it. Settles what?

"You are my destiny." Jack says, holding my hands.

My mind seems to white out. Jack was my destiny? Everything got fizzy for a moment and I am in a daze. My mind taking me back to when I was seven. I would constantly dream about one person, before after about two years it stopped and I just forget about it.

That person...it was Jack! That's why he seemed so familiar when I first met him, why it was like I already knew him. My unconscious has been trying to lead me to my destiny all this time. Holy shit! Jack was my destiny.

A smile breaks across my face, my first one in a day. "And you are my destiny." I say, pulling him into me. His body fitting against mine perfectly.

"Is that the only reason you rejected me, because I don't know there just seemed to be something more." I say, remembering how he avoided me.

Jack looks up at me, biting his lip deciding whether or not to tell me.

"You can trust me." I tell him, tone soft and inviting.

"The night we played truth or dare, I went back to the room and the wizard showed up. He told me about a magical garden in his world that needed help. He warned me about it though, saying that it could bring your dreams to life or your fears." Jack started off, taking a breath.

"I went there and fixed up the garden but my thoughts got away from me, I started thinking about you and was scared that I wouldn't be able to be with you because of my destiny. And that's when Evil Corbyn showed up. He was nice at first and confessed his feelings for me. I returned them and when we were hugging h-he..." Jack trailed off.

I give him a reassuring squeeze and nuzzle my face into his neck, placing a light kiss below his ear. "It's alright. I am here, not Evil Corbyn, he can't hurt you."

Jack took a deep breath. "He started laughing and said he couldn't believe I fell for it. That he could never like me because I was nothing and that I should leave him alone. That he didn't want to deal with me. Then he pushed me to the ground and walked away."

I was shaking with rage. I wish I could go to that garden and make Evil Corbyn appear so I could deck him.

"Jack, none of that is true. I have always liked you. You are perfect. I love your personality and the way you can always make me laugh. I love how your brown eyes shine so bright when your happy and how you play with all your rings on your fingers when your nervous. I love how excited you get when you talk about gardening. You are everything to me. I don't know what I would do without you. After a hard long day at school, I know I can count on you to make me feel better. You are amazing and I want to call you mine." I say, it all pouring out of me. I was looking into Jack's eyes, hope in mine again.

Jack smiles. "You can."

Yes! My arms if possible hold Jack tighter. Jack was mine! And I was Jack's! We were completing our destinies and couldn't be happier. Well...I can think of one thing that would make me happier.

I look down at Jack with a smirk that makes Jack blush. "May I kiss you?"

Jack give a grin, hands wrapping around my neck and pulling my face down. "Yes." Jack breathes out against my lips.

I need no further invitation and capture his plump lips between my own. A moan coming out of Jack's lips and I can't help the answering groan back. It was too good, fireworks going off like I thought. My body being ablaze in the best of ways. Jack's lips soft and flawless against my own, our lips moving in harmony. There was no doubt in my mind that Jack was my destiny, my soulmate.

Air becomes a need and if I want to keep kissing Jack, I will have to let go of his ample lips now. I lean away, my eyes opening. Our foreheads still pressed up against each other.

Jack's own eyes flutter open and we were both panting lightly, catching our breath. Our eyes lock onto each other, and there is the bright shining brown eyes I was talking about when Jack was happy, it brings a smile on my face.

"Jarbyn is real!" Eben shouts out, tearing Jack and I out of our world. We whip our heads around looking at the door, only to find Eben, Daniel, Zach, and Jonah all there watching us, smiles on their faces.

"Creepers!" Jack shouted at them, making all of us laugh.
