My soldier in Neverland (Jack Barakat)

Chapter 23

Jack

Brook starts to move after the movie is finished, I thought she was sleeping and that I was alone with my thoughts. She gets up and fiddles with compartment above the tv trying to get her clothes. She must of thought that I was sleeping because she is tip toeing around, she struggles to find her boot on the floor.

"Need help?" I ask sitting up and acting groggy. She flys up and puts her hand over her heart.

"Did I wake you?" She asks.

"No, I just woke because the movie was over." I try convince her.

"Oh, I was just going to leave so I can feed Midnight." She flicks the light on and finds her boot on the top of the couch. I see that she is still in my shirt and a pair of sweat pants courtesy of Rian's stash of Cassadee's clothes.

"Are you going to be able to drive? You arn't too tired are you?" I say getting up and trying to get every thing together so I can drive her.

"Oh no its okay Jess will be with me. I may need help with getting her off of Zack though." She says with an evil smile.

"Come on they are cute together!" I whine in protest.

"Yeah right." She finishes straping on her boot and we go through the bus stumbling over empty glass bottles. "Looks like someone had a party." She laughs as I kick them out of our path. When we get outside we see the trail leads behind the bus to the dying fire and people dancing to music blaring from a speaker. "How did we not hear this in the bus?" She yells over the music.

"Hey look!" I point to a camping chair ment for one but clearly had a shirtless man and a woman on it sucking eachother's faces. Brook walks up to them with me trailing behind, she taps on her shoulder and trys ripping her off of Zack.

"Jess its time to go!" Jess protests ans stays in place. It seems like Brook has given up, I run up behind the chair at least I know where his ticklish spot is. He gets really pissed that I made him laugh and stomps off into the bus. "Well he is cranky." I pull Brook into a hug and breath in the campfire smell of her clothes. "Are you coming back tomorrow?" I ask as we release.

"Of course. Why would I not use this baby." She pulls out her laminate.

"Okay bye." I give her a small peck and watch her car pull out and the tail lights fade. I go back to the bus and look at the time.

Brook

I was dreaming about the water fight on the roof, but this time I am in a princess dress and Jack is kneeling down infront of me while I tap a sword on his shoulder. He stands up and takes me into a kiss then a splash of water breaks us up. I am roughly woken up to a knock at the door, wow I haven't been getting much sleep lately I think as I quickly splash water on my face then run through the hall. When I get to the entry way Midnight is pawing at the door and meowing so I pick her up and take her to the living room and place her behind the baby gate. Going back to the door I hear my name being slurred over and over again. "Jack?" I'm worried, how did he get here when he is drunk. I open the door and he falls into me, but this person is the same height as me not taller.

"Jason?! What are you doing here?!" I push the drunken sloppy mess out the door.

"Brook, I'm sorry!" He pleads as one of my neighbors comes out with a worried look, I wave them off as I pick Jason up off the cement ground and bring him into the entry way.

"Jason what are you doing here?" I ask hearing Midnight's meows from her make shift jail.

"Please give me another chance!" He pleads with tears streaming and landing on my shirt as he clutches me.
