chapter 5 ~ comfort

You two chatted for a while before he had to go back to work. He gave you a paper with his number on it before he left. You looked at it and smiled.

Your lunch break came to an end and you went back to work. Sometimes you got random waves of sadness, and this time was one of those many random times. As a lady told you her order, your mind went blank, and your gaze became dead. You took her order nonetheless since you still had to do your job.

Throughout the day, a few customers yelled at you for getting their orders wrong. You made it up to them and tried your best to move on. At the end of the day, you took off your visor and left, "see ya later Y/N!" You heard jack yell to you, but you just responded with a small smile and a wave. He looked at you worriedly. Something was clearly wrong.

You got home and plopped down on your bed, staring at the ceiling. You distract yourself by scrolling through Instagram, TikTok, and even youtube for hours. It was about 11 at night now, and you didn't feel any different. You tried texting jack but he didn't answer. You sat in the dark with your thoughts and suddenly you break down into tears. You didn't even know why but you were now a sobbing mess.

Your phone rings, it's jack. You smile slightly and wipe away your tears. You pick up and sniffle a little, "hello?" You say with a congested voice.
"Y/N? Are you okay?" He asked in a panicked tone
"Yeah," you lied, "why?"
"I noticed you were acting a little off today, also you sound a little congested like you were just crying. Are you sure?" He told you.
You sighed, "No, I-"
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"I don't know, jack. I just... I don't really know." You explained to him.
There was a pause before jack finally spoke up, "I'm coming over."
"What?! You don't even know my address!" You said, shocked at his response.
"Do too," you heard a car door shut in the Background, "you put it on your application " he explained.
'Damn.. I did you thought.

He hung up and you couldn't help but cry some more. There was a knock on your door and you forced yourself up since you knew it was jack. You wiped your tears and opened the door, looking at him. He looked back at you with a small frown, "Y/N, are you okay?" He asked, inviting himself in. You just shrugged and looked down, walking back to your room. He followed you, still worried. You sat on your bed, feeling empty. Jack sat next to you and soon after pulled you into a hug. "I'm here Y/N. It'll be okay," he told you. You hugged him back tightly and tried to hold your tears back but couldn't. You cried into his shoulder. He held you and kept reassuring you that it would be okay.

After a while you fell asleep, still in his arms. Jack lay down on your bed, you on top of him. He felt a little tense and didn't want to move and wake you up, but He managed to relax eventually and go to sleep.
