Jilly Stories

Jax's Father is a bit-

The title of this chapter is solely my opinion.

"Jax, time to get up," someone calls me. I groan.

"5 more minutes," I mumble.

"Dad is here for breakfast," the person chimes. I jolt awake.

"Dad? Here? NOW???" I whisper-shout. Raz nods, and she gives me a sympathetic look. I sigh. I know what's coming. Dad has been trying to get me to marry someone for so long. I change and go downstairs. At the edge of the table, there sits Kind Arnald, my father.

"Hello Father," I greet him, forcing myself to smile.

"Hello son," he replies. We eat the first half of breakfast silent, and for a second I think I'm getting out free, but then he starts to talk.

"Son, I think it's time you finally get married," he hesitates, "I have a proposal already, so you just have to accept-"

"No," I cut him off, "I am not getting married to some random princess I have never met."

"You must do what your kingdom needs," he snaps.

"The kingdom doesn't need a miserable prince forced to marry a random person!" I yell.

"IT'S WHATS BEST FOR THE KINGDOM!" he roars.

"NO. What's best for the kingdom is if I don't get married at 17!"

"You know nothing of what the kingdom needs," he snarls.

"Then maybe, I shouldn't be a prince," I whisper so quietly, it's scary. With that, I get up and head back to my room. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I pack my bags to head back to FTRS, as I'm here for the weekend. I knock on Raz's door.

"Hey," I call, "I'm heading back to school early." She nods. I turn to leave, but Raz stops me.

"Jax," she starts, "Did you tell Father?" I shake my head no. She frowns.

"He's going to worry," she tells me.

"See if I care," I mutter. Once I'm outside, I get into the carriage waiting for me.

"Fairy Tale Reform School," I tell the coachmen.

-----Time skip-----

Once I get to the school I head straight to my dorm, where I drop my stuff off. Next, I walk through the nearly empty hallways. Because of the break, almost everyone is gone. Just as I turn the corner, I see a familiar face.

"Jax?" Gilly asks incredulously. I wave quickly then start walk around her. I can see the confusion on her face.

"Jax, are you ok?" She questions, her voice filled with concern.

"I'm fine," I snap. I can see her flinch, but she doesn't move.

"Jax, answer my question," she orders me.

"I did! Now leave me alone!" I yell. I realize what I just did, and turn around.

"I- I'm sorry," I mumble, ashamed of myself. Gilly walks up to me, and when I think she's going to punch me, she hugs me. 

"It's okay Jax," she whispers in my ear. I start to sob, snd she brings me to my dorm. There, we sit on my bed, and I cry.

"It'll be fine Jax," she soothes.

"I hate him," I choke out as I cry, "I hate him, I hate him, I hate him."

"What happened Jax," Gilly asks softly. So I tell her. I tell her how he wants me to marry a princess. I tell her how he yells at me about my duty. I tell her how I'm too young.

"I don't want to do this," I finish, "not when I-I"

"You what?" she asks, locking eyes with me.

"Not when I like you Gilly," I whisper, barely audible. She looks momentarily shocked. But then, she grabs the collar of my shirt and crushes her lips against mine. At first, I'm too surprised to do anything. But I quickly get over it, wrapping my arms around her and pulling her close. She runs her fingers through my hair. It feels nice. Right, in a way. Gilly is mine, and no other princess could ever replace her. No matter what my father says. When we finally pull apart, her face is red. Which, mine is too, of course. But she's smiling.

"Like I said," she starts, "it's going to get better." I return her smile.

"It already has," I wink. And it has. I feel like nothing else matters right now. I could stay here forever.

Sooooooooo, what do u guys think? I feel like everything I read is about Jax comforting Gilly, so I made it different. Now, it shows how the comfort- and love- goes both ways with them. That, above all, is why I ship them so much. Their care for each other is amazing and in a way, unreal. Anyway, thats all for now.
