I'm in love with my teacher

chapter 12

((Jessica's P.O.V))
Roger did keep his promise and I awoke the next morning with him by my side. After looking around my hospital bedroom once that morning it was clear the other three boys had stayed the night as well. John and Brian had both slept on chairs, whilst Freddie had sprawled out on the sofa in the corner of my room. However, there was no sign of my parents.
That day was two weeks ago and you have probably already guessed, I have been in hospital for two weeks. For the time I have been locked up in here the boys have visited me constantly. Roger would visit after school most days and the others would visit almost every day when Roger was in work....so I wouldn't be alone.
It was a pleasure having them come to visit me. Being locked up in a small room on your own can get rather boring and claustrophobic, it was great having the guys to entertain me. However, I always felt a wave of disappointment go through me when they announced they had to leave.... I knew they couldn't stay forever but how I wished they could.
My parents visited a few times, mostly to drop of clothes or things like that. They didn't visit too often because of 'work'. Truly I just think they enjoyed the time alone, without me. But it doesn't bother me too much, they have always been busy people and I have sort of got used to it growing up.
Back to the point of this chapter, tomorrow is my escape day and I truly can't wait. Even though the boys have been bringing me magazines, Roger's been bringing me school work and the boys come to entertain me, I have been bored stifles....especially when they leave. All I'm capable of doing in this hospital is sit in bed. The good news is my wound has been healing nicely and I should be up and back to school in no-time...and after two weeks in this hospital, I can't wait.
I am pulled out of my thoughts by the door to my room creaking open. I snap out of my daze and my eyes dart to the door. I watch as the blond I love a little more each day creeps into the room.
"Heyy" He says, closing the door behind him and walking into the room. He approaches the bed, taking a seat on the edge and grasping my hand.
"Hey" I respond as I try my hardest to sit up a bit.
"How you feeling?"
"Still sore, how was school?" I asked, everyday he visits I always ask him how his day was and how school is. I remember him visiting the one day with a smile on his face as well as a relieved expression. He later on told me that veronica had been kicked out of the school and the police were dealing with her case. I couldn't help feel sorry for her, I know she stabbed me and all but I think she has mental problems, I hope the police pick up on that and take put her where she belongs.....in a mental hospital.
"It was okay, everyone misses you...." he smiled that sweet smile of his, making my heart flutter.
"Well I have good news, tomorrow is my escape day...and I should be back to school next week, as long as I'm careful" his smile grew and I knew he was happy with the information I had told him.
"That's amazing Jess. I can't wait to see your face back in school; it has been so boring without you around"
His comment made me blush, I knew Roger cared about me deeply but no-body in the world had ever showed me so much love and admiration. Okay, yes, I had like one boyfriend two years ago...but he cheated on me and called me all sorts of names putting myself-esteem down majorly. After my short and horrid relationship with him I gave up on guys for a while, and swore I would wait until I was older when guys would be more mature. But once I met Roger my thoughts changed, maybe it was because he was more mature or just because he truly cared about me and I cared about him.
"I can't wait to get back to school either, oh my god did I just say that" we both laughed, amused at the fact I want to go back to school, the person who hates school and has very bad grades that have probably dropped more in the time I have been away.
"Don't laugh, it's boring here and at least at school I get to see your sweet face everyday" I smiled, he stopped laughing and for a brief moment we just stared at each other.
"Well I can't wait for you to come back to school because I will get to see your beautiful face everyday" he spoke, his lips connecting to my cheek for a brief second.
"Heyy you just copied what I said but changed the descriptive word. And I am not beautiful"
"Heyy look at me you are beautiful no matter what you say"
"No I am not"
"Yes you are"
"No"
"Yes, you are the most beautiful girl in the world" my cheeks, which were already a light pink, were now a tomato red. I hide my face in my hands, trying to hide my brightly coloured face.
"Hey don't hide, I don't care if your blushing the only reason I'm here is to see you" I lifted my head from my hands and was instantly embraced in a hug.
My arms wrapped around Roger as he held me close, my face buried in his chest.
((Roger's P.O.V))
I didn't want to let her go. I had never felt this way towards someone in all my time alive. Yes, I had dated many girls, had many one night stands. Yet this was different, I actually loved Jess and each day I fall more and more in love if that is even possible. But what blew my mind was the fact that she was 17. I had always promised that I wouldn't fall for one of my students, or a teenager at all in that matter but I have. I guess love is crazy in that sense, it doesn't matter about your age, weight, gender, appearance, and anything really...if you love someone there is nothing you can do about it.
I let go of Jess, pecking her on the cheek before I did though. The one thing I was finding hard with Jess was how I could express my love towards her. She is still so young and I have no idea of how I can tell her, or even show her how much I love her.
I watched as a yawn escaped Jess's lips, her eyes watering as they did.
"Are you tired love?" all she could do was nod. I got off the bed and helped her lay down, pulling the blankets up and around her.
I leant forward connecting my lips with hers, closing my eyes as our lips moved in rhyme. I slowly pulled away, not wanting to disappoint her but desperate to catch a breath.
"Get some rest now love" I whispered, kissing Jess on her forehead. I watched as her eyes closed and she snuggled up, appreciating the warmth the blanket had given her.
((Freddie's P.O.V))
I stood outside Jess's hospital bedroom, not wanting to disturb the moment she was having with Roger. I tried entering the room only moments before, but was met with the sight of Roger and Jess kissing...something I was surprised about.
I knew something was going on between them, the way they snuggled together two weeks ago and the way Roger reacted when she got stabbed was a clue. I should have guessed after what happened at the bar weeks ago, I guess I just thought they were close. Roger hadn't directly told us something was going on between them, though he didn't need to tell me after what I just witnessed.
Though I don't want Roger to mess this up. he has used many girls in the past, just like many girls have used him... yet Jess is young and if he played with her it would break her. She seems like such a fragile girl on the inside, something that could break and be destroyed easily. And I can already tell she loves him, really loves him...if Roger messes this up I swear to god.
I jumped at the sound of the bedroom door swinging open.
"Oh hey Freddie, what you doing here?" Roger asked, standing in front of me now, looking tired.
"Oh I just came to drop this magazine off for Jess, but when I entered I witnessed the both of you with your lips looked. Want to elaborate?"
"Oh haha, about that yeah....we are kinda together though nothing is official"
"Rog, she's your student"
"I know, I know. I promised myself that I wouldn't fall for any of my students but I couldn't help it...she's just soo..." he didn't finish his sentence but just looked at me.
"Roger I swear to go if you hurt her. She is young and fragile and I can tell that she loves you...don't mess this up, don't hurt her." I said frantically. In the two weeks Jess has been in hospital I have gotten to know her very well and we have bonded quite a bit...even though she neglected in telling me about her and Roger, though I presume she thought Roger had told me. Anyways we have become good friends and I do not want to see her get hurt.
"I'm not planning on hurting her Freddie" his voice was soft as he spoke and a loving look was in his eyes.
"oh my god you love her...you like really, really like her" it was at that moment I did discover that he loved her, the sheepish smile on his face and the way his eyes sparkled at the mere mention of her name said it all. He was in love.
