JACK

i still feel awful that i made y/n cry. i'd never try to hurt her, or make her think that i was interested in someone other than her.

"baby?" i speak, as y/n is rummaging through her boxes. "hm?" she mumbles, continuing to search the boxes. "nevermind." i sigh, grabbing a pair of blue plaid boxer-shorts and a t-shirt. y/n looks up from the boxes and looks at me as i approach the bathroom. "jack-" she says, grabbing my arm and stopping me. "i didn't mean to-" "it's okay. you were obviously busy with something. i'm just gonna change." i assure her. she nods, kissing my cheek before i go into the bathroom.

after i change, i walk out of the bathroom and see y/n lying on my bed with a small slip of paper in one hand, and her phone in the other. she's changed into one of my shirts, and a pair of her own sweatpants. "what's that?" i ask, as she sits up on my bed. "it's uh- it's nothing. come sit." she puts her phone on my nightstand and the slip of paper underneath it.

i sit down on my bed next to her, and she wraps her arms around my torso and nuzzles her head into my chest. i smile and wrap my arms around her, kissing the top of her head. "is everything okay?" she murmurs into my chest. i nod, and she looks up at me from my chest. she sits up and looks at me with a concerned look on her face. "are you sure?" she asks again, rubbing my shoulder.

i shake my head slowly, as she sucks in her upper lip and lies down on her back, opening her arms for me. i smile slightly and lie my head on her shoulder, wrapping my arms around her waist. i bury my head in her neck, kissing it a few times softly. "okay jack, tell me what's wrong." she says, ruffling her fingers through my hair. i love when she does that.

"i just feel bad. about earlier." i sigh, and she takes my hand in hers. "don't feel bad, i'm passed it." she says, kissing my forehead. "jack! jamie and i are home, is y/n still here?" my mom yells from the front door, as jamie bursts through my bedroom door. "y/n!" he exclaims, jumping up in my bed and hugging y/n. "hey james!" she replies with her perfect smile.

"i'll take that as a yes." my mom says with a laugh, as she walks into my room. she looks around at the boxes and gives me a, "what are these?" look. "i'll be right back." i tell y/n, kissing her cheek and getting up from my bed. i walk out of my room and close the door behind me, so that my mom and i can talk without them hearing us.

"what're all those boxes in your room?" she asks me sternly. "y/n's mom took all of their stuff and left. the only things that were left in the house were the things that y/n had in her room. that's everything in the boxes." i sigh, giving her a pleading face. "so her mom just- left? is she selling the house?" she asks. i nod. "wow. i mean- jack, i don't know if we have enough room for another person. we barely have enough room for us." she sighs apologetically.

"she can stay with me in my room." i assure her. "you two are only sixteen. i don't know if i'm comfortable with you both sleeping in the same bed." she says,
and i roll my eyes. "don't roll your eyes at me, jack." she says sternly. "i'm sorry, but you're being a little dramatic. y/n and i have slept in the same bed before, you were okay with it then. why is it different now?" i ask, and she sighs again. "because she would be living with us."

i sigh and brush my hand through my hair. "she has nowhere else to go, mom." i sigh, fiddling with my hands. she sits down beside me and rubs my shoulder. "okay. okay, yes. she can stay with us." she says with a soft smile, and a smile grows on my face. "thank you, thank you, thank you! i love you, mom." i hug her tightly, before walking back into my room. jamie is still hugging y/n, except now he's almost asleep and y/n is rubbing his back to help him fall asleep.

"do you need me to take him?" my mom asks y/n with a chuckle. "no, it's okay. i like this little guy." she replies with a smile, making me smile. "okay, just let me know if you want me to come get him." my mom says, leaving my room and closing the door behind her.

i lie down next to y/n, gazing up at her. "what'd she say?" she asks me. "you can stay." i reply with a smile, kissing her cheek. "jamie?" i whisper, and he groans. y/n and i chuckle a bit, as she lies down beside me slowly, not trying to wake jamie. jamie is latched onto her like a koala bear, it's honestly adorable. "damn, jamie's tryna steal you from me." i say, and y/n laughs.

jamie soon falls asleep, so y/n moves him off of her chest and lies him down in between us. "well, this weekend has been crazy." i say, as y/n smiles and nods. "yeah it has." she replies. "i hope julian doesn't have any hard feelings. i'd hate for him to start being a dick again." she adds, and i chuckle. "yeah. that would suck. i'm still gonna show you off though." i say, and she laughs. "can you guys keep it down?" jamie groans, looking up at us. "sorry bud." i say, rubbing his back.

he drifts back to sleep, and i can tell y/n is getting tired. "i'm gonna take him to bed." i say, standing up from my bed and scooping him up into my arms. "okay, i'm gonna go wash my face." she yawns, getting up from my bed. "i wanted to sleep with you and y/n." jamie whispers, as i lay him down on his bed. "i know jamie, but y/n and i have to get up early for school tomorrow." i explain, and he frowns. "fine. goodnight jack." he says, and i kiss the top of his head. "goodnight jamie." i say, then walk out of his room and head to mine.

y/n is half-asleep on my bed, wearing the same pair of sweatpants, but she's taken off my shirt that she was wearing, and she's wearing a sports bra instead. i lie down next to her and pull off my shirt since i usually get hot in the middle of the night.

^(none of this was written with sexual intent, just giving detail.)^

"you're back." she mumbles through a smile, taking my hand in hers. "i didn't mean to wake you." i reply, kissing her hand. "it's okay. we should probably go to sleep though." she says, kissing my lips. "you're right." i say quietly, pulling my blankets over the both of us. she lies on her back and i rest my head on her chest and wrap my arms around her waist. "goodnight y/n/n." i say into her chest, moving my body so now i'm hovering over her. "goodnight jack." she smiles, kissing my lips once. i smile down at her, still hovering over her.

my hands are on her hips, and i kiss her cheek softly. i flip her on top of me, so now i'm on my back and she's sitting on my lap. she yawns before leaning down to kiss me. "i love you." she says quietly, kissing my cheek, then my forehead, then my nose, then my lips again. "i love you more." i chuckle, as she lays down beside me, putting her head on my chest. she yawns, as i put one hand on her waist, and brush the other through her hair.

"goodnight, again." she mumbles, making me laugh. "goodnight beautiful."
