That Girl

Chapter 46

*Ariel's POV*

I woke up the next morning, clinging onto Ken, who was still asleep. I yawned, getting up and walking to the bathroom, noticing that I left my shopping bags full of stuff. I went to the bathroom, used it, and grabbed my glasses on the way out. I looked through my bags, admiring all of the things Jackson had got me the day before, 'Why are you so goddamn sweet to me..' I frowned as I looked at the dress he'd bought me.

*Flash back*

I stared in the display window of the fancy store, admiring this one dress I thought was literally made by the hands of Athena. Apparently Jackson noticed my amazement, "You like it?" you could hear the amusement in his voice. I was too caught up in looking at the dress to turn towards him, "Mhmm." was my only reply. The dress was a smokey pink colour, and the dress flowed down to about ankle length, except it's floor length on me because I'm only like 5'3. I'm a midget. It had two slits on both sides in the front that started at the top of the thighs and lined with black lace around the hems. The torso was straight lined across the chest (also black lace lined) and had a thick ace belt around the waist, it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. Jackson walked around me and went inside, snapping me out of my daze, "Wha-?!" I followed him in, curious as to what he was doing. He went and found one in my size and took it to the cash register, "Jac-" "Sh." he stopped me then paid for it, handing the bag to me, and awestruck mess. I followed him out, speechlessly staring at him with big eyes. He turned to me and grinned, "Calm down." he chuckled, leaning over and kissing my forehead, making me blush.

------------------------------------------------------

I stood and walked to the closet with it, closing the door. I changed into it a gasped looking in the mirror, "Oh wow.." I whispered to myself. I was amazed at how good it actually looked on me; it showed off my curves and it covered all of my scars except the ones on my arms. I felt fancy and girly, and it made me grin like the joker cause I loved the feeling so much. I blushed, feeling arms around my waist and looked seeing it was Ken. He was smiling at me, "You look beautiful." and then kissed my neck softly. I giggled and blushed a little, "Thank you." "No problem, gorgeous." He walked back out and I changed into some other stuff I had bought the day before. I finally walked back out in a pair of white shredded skinny jeans, and a tank top that was black cotton in the front and fishnet in the back, held at the seams by safety pins. I felt like a punk rocker and it was awesome, the outfit was comfy too, surprisingly. Ken's jaw dropped when I walked out and I giggled a little, "Yah, might wanna close your mouth before you catch a fly." I grabbed his ass as I walked out, causing him to squeak slightly. I walked to the kitchen and made some food for myself and noticed Ravi was asleep, cuddled up to Jade on the couch, making me giggle. I waved at Jade and she waved back smiling, then went back to messing with his hair. I snuck past them to Leo and Candice's room to go talk, and this time I knocked on the door first, "Yah, y'all awake?" I whispered to the door and it opened, revealing a tired and shirtless Leo. "Long night?" I chuckled to myself and he blushed hard, shrugging, "Do y'all want any food?" I asked gesturing towards the kitchen, "I'll gladly make y'all some." "Maybe some waffles for Candice, I'm good, but I know she'd want some coffee and I do to." He said sheepishly. I nodded and walked toward Hakyeon and Cora's room after he shut the door. I knocked and Cora came to the door, I had to contain my giggles seeing her troll hair and her in Cha's T-shirt. She was adorable, "Yah?" She asked groggily and I stifled my laughs, "Would you like waffles?" I asked quietly and she brightened up a little, "Ne, and some coffee." She answered. I nodded, "Same for sir Cha?" I asked before turning, and she nodded.

I made everyone breakfast and coffee, and everyone came in, sitting at the table. We all gathered and talked, eating and hanging since it was our last day together for awhile. We played games, talked, laughed, everything. Then 2 o'clock came, "Yah, we need to get ready!" Ken stated as he walked to his bed room to pack,everyone sighed and started getting ready. I waited in the living room as they all packed, pouting and on the verge of tears. Ken came back out and noticed I was sad, "Yah, jagyia.. I'll be back before the baby's born I swear." He rubbed my stomach and kissed my nose gently, making me blush, "Ne.. I know.." I sighed.

We drove them to the ariport and watched as they took off, waving goodbye. Then Candice drove us back, stopping for milkshakes on the way. When we got back we were greeted by the guys, well all but Jackson, which worried me a lot. "Yah, where's Jackson?" I asked, tapping Mark on the shoulder. He frowned, "He's been in his room all day. I tried to get him out, but he won't answer and he locked the door." He looked me up and down, making a low whistling noise, "You look good in that outfit." He half smirked, making me roll my eyes, "Shut up, Mark." I laughed hitting him in the arm playfully, at which he also laughed. I went up to their apartment while they were all hanging out and went to Jackson's room. I'd only been in there apartment once since we met and I'd only gotten his room pointed out to me once, but I still found it.

"Yah? Jackson?" I knocked at his door. No answer. I frowned slightly. "Jackson? It's Ariel." No answer. I pressed my ear to the door, hearing water running. I froze, breath caught in my throat. I barely choked out, "Jackson?" No response. The water running was loud. I remembered that there was a fire escape next to his window, and I immediately ran out of the apartment and around the outside to the ladder leading to his window. I climbed until I got to his floor and I found his window. I opened it and slid in easily. I might not be athletic, but if I think someone I love's in danger, my adrenaline is that of an Olympic gold metal runner's. I same his bathroom door open and I shakily walked forward towards it. The water was running and I didn't know what to expect. "Jackson?" Still no goddamn answer, "Fuck it.." I pushed the door completely open.
