Taken

Chapter17- Don't.

17.

   I starred into his eyes. He looked at me passionately. I gave a pathetic grin. Then I turned my back to him an walked on. I looked back and saw him standing there looking at me his arms were tense. I continued.

   When I reached the table Natalia and Daemon were standing, talking to each other. I walked in on there conversation. I listened and I looked to my left, there was Jack paying for the dinner. He looked at me an smiled. He then gestured me over to him, I walked and leaned up against him. I did it with out and intention, it just happened. He put his hand around me and gave me a light kiss on my forehead. Then Alex and Natalia were together an Daemon, being a Daemon was acting goofy. I looked at Alex he looked up at me and he put his head back down and put his hands in his pockets. We all walked out to our cars, and went our ways. Jack talked a lot to me in the car, more than any other time. I sat in the seat quietly thinking of what I could have said to Alex, or should we have run off while we were together.

"Jenna, you're the best thing that ever happened to me." He said glancing at me while driving in the dark.

"Really?" I looked at him, my eyes started to tear up. I gave a little sniffle.

"Yes, you are my one in six billion."

"I am glad you feel that way about me."

   Jack grabbed my hand and made little circles using his thumb on my hand. I am actually starting to like this guy a little more that love. He was nice, sweet, romantic, and he knew how to treat me. He was funny, handsome, smart, loving, and a whole bunch of other things I love about him that can't pop in my head. We finally reached his house. We walked in, I went to the couch and took om my heels. I gave a sigh of relief. After that I went up to the bed room and got into one of Jack's sleep wear. Once I was done changing I walked down and there was Jack he was on the floor, unconscious.

"OH MY GOD!"

   I screamed and ran down the stairs, I had almost tripped over my two feet. I leaped off the stairs and went to his side.

"Jack! Jack! Wake up."

   He didn't respond, I got up and ran to the kitchen to where he left his phone. I looked for someone I knew on his contacts. I couldn't find anyone but Alex. Alex I am not going to call the jerk. I should call 911, but they will find out who I am and take me home, and put Jack, Alex, Daemon and Todd in jail. I don't wanna do that. I had so choice. I tapped on Alex and called him.

"Alex!" I yelled through the phone.

"W-what?" He sounded sleepy.

"Help! Help me please!"

"Whats wrong, are you okay?"

"Jack! Its Jack I think he's dead!"

"I'll be there."

   I hung up the phone and ran back to Jack. I checked his pulse. He was still breathing, thank god. I tugged at him. He didn't move or anything. About ten minutes later Alex drove up, I could see the lights pass through the window. He banged on the door, I ran to get it.

   He grabbed my arms, and asked were he was. I was in tears, my makeup must have been all over my face. I moved out of the way for Alex to see Jack.Alex jogged to his side. Alex told me to go wait in the living room. I turned back and saw Alex doing SPR. I started to cry even more. I sat on the couch in a ball. I waited on the couch for what seemed to be hours, then I heard a choking sound. I got up and went to Alex an Jack. Alex was knelt down holding Jack up. Jack was choking.

"Get Jack some water."

"K-K."

   I sprinted to the faucet and got him some water. I handed it to Jack. I sat on the stairs starring at Jack the whole entire time he drank and coughed. I never noticed that Alex was starring at me either. Some while later Alex helped Jack up. I walked Jack to his room, and tucked him in bed. I was about to hop in bed with Jack, but I realized that Alex was still here. I gave a huff and went back down the stairs.

"Thanks for helping Jack out." I said on the first step of the stair case with on hand on the railing.

"No problem. What happened?"

"I have no clue, I went up stairs to change and I came back down and there was Jack laying on the floor."

"Wow, lucky you called me. He could be dead right now."

"Yeah. Well that's all I needed, you can go now."

   I started to walk back up but on the second step Alex called my name.

"Jennifer, I see how you look at him.... You love him."

"How would you know that?"

"I know that because you use to look at me the same way."

   I bite my lip, and looked down. I had no clue what to say to Alex. So I gave a grin.

"Can we talk about this." He said moving his foot around in a circle.

"Whats there to talk about, whats done is done."

"Please let us talk about this."

"Alex. I don't mess around with married men! I am not that kind of person!"

"I know you're not that's why I cheated on her for you."

"It doesn't work like that Alex."

"C'mon sit with me."

   I walked down to Alex and followed him to the couch. He started to talk about all his mistakes, and how he wished things were different.

"I wish I met you way before Natalia. I wish I could lived every second with my life with you."

  I pulled my knees to my chest and rested my head on it. He talked an talked. Then it got interesting.

"My wife Natalia, she isn't the one for me. We met in college, we were young and stupid. We must have been only dating for some weeks. One night I felt like she was the one for me. I proposed to her and we had a very small wedding. Only my boss showed up. We moved to Oregon, and ever sense she has been acting strange. She's not the same. I think shes having an affair."

"And you are not? I know people like you who do this, and I don't like it. I am not going to become a victim of it."

"I love you more then Natalia on our first date, and I have felt that way even now. I don't wanna stop what we have, even though it may not be there. So please lets runaway together."

"I love you to, but I can't afford to think like that. You took me away from my family and friends, played with my heart."

"Please Jennifer, What can I do to change that? I love you and that's all that matters right now."

   I started to cry, Alex reached out to me and hugged me tight. He never let go of me.

   We heard someone walking down the stairs. Then on to the ground floor. Alex looked up. I looked up too. There was Jack standing there watching us.
