Loving the High School Bad-Boy

Chapter 29

I helped kick open the door to Jacksons hospital room, it was in the psych wing of the hospital and I was fucking furious.

He sat in the chair, flipping through a book. He was wearing a t-shirt, and I could see the scars that had only just healed on his arms. I cleared my throat and he slowly and weakly turned his head to me. His eyes widened and he began crying.

"I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD, AMY!" He shouted before running across the room and jumping in the bed next to me. I could see the pale scars on his neck and I almost slapped him. But the joyful eyes on his pale face made me stop.

"I want to kill you myself. I really do. Your an asshole. Did you seriously think that killing yourself would help anything? How do you think Chase would have felt? How Hunter would have felt? How Evie would have felt? How I would have felt? I may be falling in love with you, and you shouldn't date think that trying to commit suicide, would have helped one fucking thing? IT WOULDNT HAVE. NOT A DAMN BIT. I would have ended up killing myself, and Evie would grow up without a father. She would be confused, and how do you think, her two year old brain, COULD HAVE POSSIBLY COMPREHENDED THAT YOU WERE JUST GONE. VANISHED INTO THIN AIR. MISSING FOREVER. You would have been dead..." I trailed off, my voice quiet and sad. "you don't know the pain you have put me through. and yet I still come crawling back to you, like a lost puppy, looking for her owner. I CANT HELP THAT IM FALLING FOR YOU. I CANT HELP THAT YOU, HAVE STOLEN MY HEART, AND ARE UNDOUBTEDLY GOING TO BREAK IT AGAIN."

Jackson leaned in closer to me and I buried my face in his chest. He started playing with my hair, and kissing away the tears that were falling from my wet eyes. And just then, the world seemed to stop. And Jackson and I were just there, sitting, frozen in time.

He leaned in and kissed my cheek, then moved my face and rested his forehead against mine. "You know what the best thing about falling in love?" He whispered.

I sniffles and forced out a laugh. "what?"

He lightly kissed me on my lips and leaned back quickly enough that I was begging for more. "That there is someone to catch you when your about hit the ground."

Jackson smashed his lips against mine and rubbed circles with his thumb in my cheek and pulled away.

I pulled my head back and stared at him in awe.

And then I slapped him.
