Bumper Cars [EDITING]

- Henley POV -

It's the day that I'm supposed to leave... And honestly... I still haven't truly made up my mind.

"Hen...", Jackson said, pulling me out of my internal debate.

"Yeah ?"

"Do you know what today is ?"

"Wednesday", I replied jokingly.

"Seriously. My 3 weeks are up. Are you staying ?"

"I don't know yet, Jackson."

"You don't know yet ? It's easy.. You want to try to work shit out with me. Or you're leaving...", he said, with an attitude.

"How do I know that once I completely give myself to you, again that you won't hurt me, again ?"

"Because I love you... Because you go to the hospital and read to my kid... Because you pick up the clothes I always leave on the floor in the bathroom... Because I'm promising that this time is different... I'm thinking about what's best for my kid... YOU are what's best for my kid..."

I hadn't even realized that I started crying. I wanted to believe every single word that was coming out of his mouth, but it was so hard to...

"If I stay...", I started before he cut me off with a kiss.

"No if. You're fucking staying", he said into my lips.

"Jackson..."

"Do you love me, Henley ?"

"More than I can say with words."

"Then stay."

"Jackson... My job."

"There's schools here."

"I don't want to get hurt again. If I'm with you... You gotta be all in. No more bullshit, Jackson."

"No more bullshit."

"Okay... Then I'll stay."

"You're staying ?"

"Yeah. I love you, Jackson. Don't make me regret this."

"I won't. I fucking love you, too."

He kissed me with more passion then he's ever kissed me before.
