FLASHBACKS ➳ JACK GILINSKY

Chapter 32 - Still Into You

So hello guys! I posted the very first chapter of my new Jack Johnson fanfic, so if you guys can check it out, it'd mean so much to me.

//32//

"What the hell?" I muttered, turning to the other side of the bed when I heard rapid knocking on my door. I slowly opened my eyes, and left it drift to the clock that was above the TV. "6:00?" I questioned mostly to myself, but also to the person who thought it'd be a smart move to wake me up this early.

I groggily got out of bed, still dazed from my lack of sleep. I only got a few hours of sleep, due to the fact Jack couldn't stop talking last night. He'd mention things about us placing Top 5 in the competition, the humorous drama between the fans that were against us and those who shipped us, and a bunch of ridiculous things I never payed attention to. He would constantly peck me here and there, and give me one or two firm kisses which lead to brief make-out sessions. By half an hour past midnight, I was barely keeping my eyes open as he tried to engage in a conversation with me, so I just kicked him out. Of course he complained and begged to stay, but I was too tired to argue with him about anything and just shut the door in his face.

I opened my eyes the same time I opened the door. I was ready to yell at Jack for making me wake up early again, assuming it was him. To my utter surprise, it was Ivy that had woken me up from my peaceful sleep.

I was surprised for many reasons, and one of them being, she never came to my room this early. Sometimes I did find myself waking up to her knocks on my door, but that's only when we had a sleepover in my room, and she went out to get breakfast, only forgetting to either leave the door unlocked or had forgotten to take my keys with her to reopen the door. The other surprise was how awful she looked. She had dark bags under her eyes, indicating that she had probably had less sleep than I did. Her eyes looked sad, and a bit guilty?

"Listen I need to talk to you," she said rather quickly, but strongly.

"Uhm, sure?" I phrased it in a form of a question, because I was honestly so confused at what was going on right now. "What's wrong?"

She cautiously walked into the room, as if she didn't know what she was doing. "Before I say anything, you know I love you, right? And I would never do anything to ever hurt you, so I'm just going to say this for you. I'm only thinking what's best for you, and hiding this from you is making me go insane."

"What do you need to ask me?" I questioned, scrunching my eyebrows together, anticipating on her next words. "You're scaring me," I whispered.

"You see-"

She was interrupted by another knock on the door.

"Does everyone just love to come to my room so early in the morning?" I muttered, going to open the door.

"Hey!" Jack exclaimed, just as I opened the door and revealed my face to him.

"What are you doing here so early in the morning?" I asked him, confused. "Shouldn't you be sleeping?"

"I wanted to show you something."

"Actually," I said, looking back at Ivy to see her weirdly widening her eyes in a form of panic, I'm assuming, "Ivy wanted to talk to me. Since, she got here first, it's only fair that I hang out with her this morning."

His eyes also widened, but I think it was due to shock. "Ivy, you say?"

"Yea, she's right here," I told him, opening the door a bit more, so he could see Ivy who was currently sitting down on the bed.
