Angel without a halo

Not So Bright On The Other Side

We stayed in the same position for like 5 seconds. Little by little he would lean in closer. I could feel his minty breath on my lips. Just lean in a tad closer..

*PHONE RINGS SO LOUD THE WHOLE CLUB TURNED TO LOOK AT US*

Jack leaned back. Damn. It was Theodor again. I answered and passed the phone to Jack. "Hello- listen, listen, there was a big, 'screw up' that happened here in the club and a lot of people got injured- yes we're fine. We're on our way don't wait up on us though, get some sleep." He said before a few more "ok"s and hanging up. "We should go." I said standing up.

The car ride was silent. Not a word said while we were driving on our way to the hotel. It felt awkward, and weird. He parked far back where he knows someone won't scratch his car or whatever. He took the keys out of the ignition and leaned back on the car seat. Now it was 10x more quiet than before. I looked out the window hoping something would come and break this tension. "I know what you're thinking." I looked at Jack his head was way back stretching out his neck. His atom's apple would bounce every time he swallowed or talked. "What am I thinking?" He didn't look at me he just kept staring straight. "About what happened over there, outside the club." He looked at me serious. I looked down at my legs without saying a word. "I'm sorry I don't even know what got into me, I mean I like you. Well not that I didn't before its just," He struggled to spit it out as he chuckled nervously and looked down. "I wish I could just ugh- never mind i'm just making a fool out of myself." He went to go open the door but I stopped him, pulling him back in the car. "No, tell me more." I said real kinky. "Wait what?" He said in shock. I pulled the collar of his shirt closer to me. "You told me you like me, well tell me more." I bit my lip. "Well I, you, um." I looked down at his lips and back up at his eyes. "My fuck you're hot." He crashed his lips on mine and kissed me rough. We never parted. His lips were like air and I was dying to breathe. They were plumb and addicting. He bit my bottom my lip and kept sucking. I felt myself about to faint and I backed away to breathe. I gasped for air and so did he smiling. He licked his lips giggling. I laughed along with him. "That was unexpected." He said in his Brooklyn accent. "I have a lot of surprises up my sleeves." I stuck my hair behind my ear. "I like surprises." He said getting out of the car. What a night.-

Theodor bitched at us like crazy when we got to the hotel room. But I couldn't stop thinking about that kiss. I snuggled into my sheets and cuddled into the pillow. Could this be the start of something new?

~Jack's pov~
Carlie, the name makes me feel in ecstasy. I can't believe I had the balls to kiss her like that. Honestly I didn't even know I had it in me. Maybe next we can move it up a level. Who knows what will happen when I wake up. I looked at the time 3:22am.-

I don't know where I am but I like it. I'm with Carlie which makes the situation twice as fun. She's holding my hand and laughing like crazy. I laugh along with her since her laugh is contagious. All of a sudden I start getting these awful chest pains. I fall to my knees in pain. Carlie starts crying and screaming but everything is mute. The only thing I could hear is the annoying beep going through my mind. It starts getting louder and I start getting more paranoid. "Stop! Stop! STOP!" I cover my ears and shut my eyes. It stops. It finally stops along with everything else. I'm no where? Just in a vast white area. Then I see Carlie walking towards me. What a relief. I run towards her and out of no where she falls to the ground with an arrow sticking out of her back. The blood spreads like fire chasing gasoline. "NO!" I fell to my knees. The blood spread around me. I was now in my own little circle. Then I see a familiar man who carried a bow and arrows. The arrows had hearts. I knew who the bastard was. He aims an arrow at me and shoots me right on my flower tattoo. I fell back only remembering the dim lights turning dark. Everything shifted. I was in complete darkness. I could hear my heart beat through my ears. I'm panting breathlessly. Images of Carlie flash through my mind. She's laughing, crying, yelling, singing..dead. I see her lifeless body on the ground, and I'm hovering over it. I did this? No, I'd never hurt anyone. "STOP! THIS IS BULLSHIT!" I see the gates of heaven shut close. A loud siren starts to go off. "FUCK! STOP ALREADY!" I cover my ears and scream trying to get the sound out. This is fucking chaos! My name starts being called out in a loud whisper. "Jack! Jack! Jack!"

I open my eyes and see Theodor shaking me wildly. "Are you alright? You've been yelling and groaning all night. I got worried and came to see you." I sat up on the bed and noticed I was sweating bullets. "Was it a bad dream?" I slightly nodded. "I think it was a vision." Theodor perked up. "What'd you see?" I shook my head. "Nothing good. The gods are not happy with me. and I got a bad feeling something awful will happen if I don't keep my distance from Carlie." Theo looked down not knowing what to say. "We need to find those heirlooms quick. Before I go head over heels for this girl.."
