Love is a drug and a curse

Y/n

I have never wanted to jump off a cliff more than I do right now. "Jack, get out." I say spinning on my chair to face him.

"I don't think I will, you see-" he started, "mommy!" Malu came running from behind him and basically harassed me with hugs.

"Woah- Hey there baby!" I exclaimed as I picked her up and put her on my lap. I smothered my daughter with kisses and hugged her tighter while she was in a fit of giggles.

"Where are my hugs?" Jack says. I rolled my eyes and placed malu down. "How was your time with daddy baby?" I ask her while moving some hair out of her face.

"It was fun! Daddy brought me to the waterpark, we went to the zoo, we ate tons of candy and on the last day we went to disneyland!" She beams as she throws her little arms up in the air.

"That's good, aw you must be tired from all of that huh?" She nods and turns to Jack. They started whispering something to eachother.

I couldn't make out what they were saying but I assume it has something to do with Jack trying to win me back. I saw him reach into his back pocket as Malu encouraged him.

She then turned to me with a sly smirk on her face. "What's this about?" I laugh. Malu giggled and turned back to Jack, signaling him to come over.

He came over to us and sat down at the edge of my desk. I looked down at his pale hands and saw that he was holding a dark box, with gold silver linings in the middle of it.

"Daddy picked this out at the most expensive jewelry place!" She exclaims as she threw her little arms around my neck. Jack really is desperate, isn't he.

I seemed to have lost my breath when Jack opened the fancy box, revealing a beautiful gold and silver locket. The locket was star shaped and it had my initials and Malu's in it.

The more I looked at it the more I melted, no. I cannot fall for another one of Jack Dylan Grazer's bloody traps.

"Well.. do you like it? It was custom made, as you can see." He asks softly. I instantly snapped out of my daze and cleared my throat.

"It's lovely Jack but I can't possibly accept this." I felt the tension of my daughter around my shoulder change from a happy one.. to a desperate one.

"Please mommy, he waited a long time to get this for you" she begged. "Yeah, and if don't want it it's fine. I could just give it to malu." Jack reached out his hand to my 6 year old but she wasn't having any of it.

"No! You bought it for mommy!" She pouted and hurried her head in my shoulder. Jack chuckled and turned back to me with a grin on his face.

"Well you heard the lady."

I rolled my eyes and took the item from his hand. "Thankyou." I wasn't technically mad at this necklace, I just would have liked it to come from anyone else.

Someone else.

"Yay!" Malu basically yelled. I laughed and kissed the side of her head. "Also, I have something I wanna tell you which is part of the reason I'm here." I raised a brow and he got up from the edge of my table and stood right next to me and malu.

"In uh, private." He says, his vision altering from Malu to mine. I was sure he was gonna try some shit, but I didn't need malu here to
Witness it.

"Okay." I nod and grab the phone dialing the front office downstairs. "Malu darling, Millie is going h to come get you and put you in your play area. Would you like to wait for mommy there?"

She nods carefully, making me smile at her and kiss her cheek before Millie came rushing up. "Sorry madam, here's your coffee and I believe someone told me to take malu downstairs?" Mille placed the coffee on the table.

"Yes, have fun baby. I'll take you home soon, Xavier is preparing your favorite dinner tonight." She smiled brightly and hugged me one last time. "Bye bye mommy." She coos.

A few minutes after Millie left there was an immense silence between the two of us. I know Jack will take some time to process what he has to say to me.

He's immensely ashamed, who wouldn't be in his situation. I shifted my eyes to face him and saw that he was looking down, playing with the sleeve of his shirt.

"Jack, talk." I say, he almost instantly looked at me. "Sorry uh let me start." He apologizes.

"I already apologized. Thousands and thousands of times.. and I probably won't stop but y/n. Please I am begging you. Don't go back to him, give me another chance."

He was looking at me directly in the eyes. Those eyes that I once was in love with, I've always wondered how brown eyes were always my favorite thing.

I tried to divert my gaze to another part of the room but I couldn't manage. My eyes were glue to his. Damn you grazer.

"I cannot go through that pain again Jack. I just can't." He leaped forward and held my hand. "You won't have to. I've changed, believe me there is no one else I would rather be with, I love you and I love malu. You guys are the best thing that has ever happened to me. Please.. be mine again"

I hated to admit it, I hate it but there's some part of me that is telling me to take him back, telling me to just jump into his arms and say yes over and over again.

I loved Jack, not on the same level as Finn but I adored him so much. I would always tell my friends about how he was such a sweetheart, a prince.

Something about the way he's speaking, the way his expression is so soft, is leading me to believe that he's telling me the truth. Telling me that I could crawl back into his arms and not come out broken.

My priority since I came here was Finn and Klaus. I want to make things up with both of them, but maybe I could just focus on Klaus. And not Finn, although he had confessed he loves me, Finn would never want to be in a relationship with me.

He would never think twice about making me his, which hurts me the most out of all of this, I love Finn. But why did these words come out of my mouth.

"Okay."
