Addicted To You

Chapter 2

  Everything I want is on the other side of my fears.

  I can't believe that just happened. Jack Gilinsky actually talked to me and he kissed my cheek.
  "Wow." I mumble plopping down on my bed.
  *Bing Bing Bing*
  I hear something hit my window. I ignore it.
  *Bing Bing Bing*
  I force myself to get up and look what it is I fling the blinds open, and theres Jack standing in his room with his window open leaning out.
  "Sup neighbor!" He waves.
  "Sup!" I giggle.
  "I'm bored."
  "I have to get ready."
  "But I'm bored."
  "You're impossible."
  "Come over."
  "I can't I have to get ready!"
  "Please."
  "After I get ready?"
  "Fine."
  "See you in an hour!"
  "What!"
  "I'm kidding chill." I laugh and close my window and my drapes just to be safe. I go to my closet and pick a yellow dress (the one in the picture) that I've been saving for a special occasion. I have to tell Ashley that I won't be able to go to her house before the party. So I text her.

Me: Hey! I won't make it to your house before the party. Sorry. :( xoxo
Ash: Why?
Me: Because I'm going to Jacks house before.
Ash: What? Why?
Me: He asked if I could come over.
Ash: Oh okay... What are you wearing?
Me: That yellow dress with my black heels. You?
Ash: A little blue dress with white heels.
Me: Okay well see you later. Xoxo
Ash: Bye...

  I put my dress and heels on and do my make up and hair. When I'm done I go over and open my window.
  "Jack! I'm ready!" I yell he opens his window.
  "Woah."
  "What?"
  "You look amazing."
  "Thank you! Not bad yourself Mr. Gilinsky." I blush he rubs his neck nervously.
  "Come in." He says reaching his hand out.
  "Are you fucking crazy or something!"
  "What?!"
  "You expect me to jump from my room to yours?!"
  "Yeah?"
  "No way!"
  "Fine use this." He groans walking out of his room. A couple minutes later he comes back with ladder. "Watch out." He says putting the ladder through his window then through mine.
  "Such a gentleman." I laugh getting on the ladder climbing across. He grabs my arm pulling me in he stops and looks at them then at me.
  "Twinkles why?" He sighs pointing to the scars on my wrists. I pull my arms away and my face turns red.
  "What..."
  "Why would you do this to yourself?" He gently puts his finger under my chin so I'm looking at him. Tears well up in my eyes.
  "I've been clean for a year now. I wouldn't ever do it again." I mumble the scars are fading but the memory isn't. I don't think it will. He wipes the tears off my face.
  "Please don't do it again." He sniffles.
  "I won't." I break eye contact.
  "Promise me?" He says looking in my eyes again.
  "I promise." I slightly smile.
  "Thank you." He puts his hands on my face so gently and kisses my forehead. Sending the shivers up my spine again.
  *Ding Dong Ding Dong*
  Someone rings the doorbell. Jack groans and walks downstairs I follow him. He opens the door.
  "Sup Jac...What's my little sister doing here?!"
  "I'm not your little sister Sam I was born only a couple minutes after you." I grunt.
  "Why are you here?!"
  "Dude calm down she just came over before the party." Jack says calmly.
  "Why?"
  "None of your business!" I hiss.
  "It is my business! Answer the question Gilinsky!"
  "I invited her over! She just got here!" He started getting mad.
  "Whatever but just know she's my sister don't touch her Gilinsky! I know how you are with girls!"
  "Samuel get out!" I glare.
  "No Skylar you're coming home now."
  "No she's not." Jack interjects.
  "Fine Sky but don't come crying to me when he breaks your heart!" He spits Jack grabs my hand.
  "Sam go away." I say through my teeth tighting my grip on Jacks hand.
  "You've got her fooled good Gilinsky. Good luck Sky." He sighs and walks away.
  "I'm sorry about him. I don't know what he's talking about half the time. He's wrong about you." I apologize.
  "It's not your fault." He smiles. Its six-forty-five people should be coming soon. Jack and I sit on the steps waiting in silence.
  "So why do you call me Twinkles?" I break the silence.
  "Because every time I see you there's a twinkle in your eye."
  "Really?" I giggle.
  "Maybe." He hesitates.
  "I think that's cute."
  "You do?"
  "Yeah." I smile he puts his hand on mine. Sending the shivers up my spine. Every time we touch this happens and he's the only one who's ever affected me like this.
  Ashley walks up with Bailey. Baileys jaw drops when she sees me with Jack. I laugh and Ashley stands there slightly glaring at me.
  "Hey Sky!" Bailey giggles.
  "Hey!"
  "Hey Ash!" I say excitedly.
  "Hi." She spits.
  "Okay..." I mumble Jack takes my hand again and everyone follows inside. After a bunch more people show up Jack and I go our separate ways to hang out with different people. A few hours pass and I go to tell Jack goodbye I search through the crowd and finally find him but when I do I wish I hadn't.
