Whiskey and Heartbreak(j.g.)

Chapter 22

I have to be dreaming right now. It couldn't really be him. He was with his girlfriend. Wasn't he? I'm too intoxicated to feel my body. My vision keeps going in and out and the room is spinning. I was drifting out of consciousness.

I felt myself being propped up in a chair and the next thing I knew I felt a cold liquid pour down my throat. It wasn't alcohol anymore... it was water. I don't know how I'm drinking because my body is numb and my muscles are too weak to move. I focused my vision to see Jack pouring the water into my mouth.

"Swallow this Kelsey. Come on drink it all" I heard his voice echo in my ear. I missed him saying my name.

The next thing I knew I was laying on the bathroom floor. I must have blacked out again. I lifted my head off the ground and felt the nausea kick in. I leaned over the toilet seat and threw up what felt like everything I had in my stomach. I felt like I wasn't ever going to stop.

Once the vomitting slowed down I felt a hand rub my back. I turned around to see him sitting there in the bathroom with me. I laid my head back down on the ground without a word.

I think I blacked out again because I awoke with my head back in the toilet yet again throwing up violently. After this time I started to realize the reality of the situation. I think I was starting to sober up a little.

"Water" I croaked out with my voice hoarse from throwing up. Jack reached over to the counter and handed me a water bottle.

"Drink it all. You need to flush the alcohol out of your system."he told me

I did as he said and then just sat there staring at his beautiful face. He looked back at me with those captivating brown eyes and I could see the hurt inside of them.

"Do you want to go to your bed now?" He asked me never once breaking eye contact.

I just nodded as tears still streamed down my face. I tried standing up and tumbled over. I thought I was sobering up but I guess I was still pretty drunk. I felt Jacks arms wrap around me and suddenly I was lifted off the floor.

He carried me to my bedroom and gently placed me down on the bed. After tucking me in and getting me some more water he turned to leave my room.

"Jack"

"Yeah?"

"How'd you know?"

"I saw your tweet and knew something was wrong."

I stayed quiet and he went to turn around again.

"Don't leave me"

He stopped in the doorway and walked back over to the bed.

"Are you sure you want me to stay?"

"Don't leave me Jack... please" I sobbed as the warm tears fell down my cheek

"Shhh don't cry. I'm right here" he wiped the tears off my face and climbed into bed with me. Feeling him wrap his arm around my waist was something I have longed for for what seems like forever.

"I love you" I whispered and everything was quiet for a while.

I think he thought I was asleep after a while of me not moving but I was just thinking and admiring the feeling of being in his arms again. My thoughts were interrupted by a few words leaving his mouth that I never thought I would hear.

"I love you more than anything" He said in a whisper. I stayed silent acting as if I was asleep but the shock was almost too much to handle. As much as I wanted to stay awake and enjoy this feeling, the alcohol in my system forced me to eventually fall asleep in Jack's arms.
