Across the Country

Chapter 7

Gemma's Pov:

"Wake Up," yelled my mother. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. "Change into these," She said handing me some clothes. They were the same thing from yesterday. "I will be back to take you to breakfast," She said leaving the room. Finally, I thought. I got up from the bed and went to the bathroom located in the back. I needed to shower so I got undressed and stepped in the shower. After I was done, I left my hair as it was and put on the clothes.

There was a knock on the door. I went to go get it and it was my mother. "Time for breakfast, darling," She said. She led me to the a room. It looked just like my room but it only had a table and chair with food on it. I sat down in the chair. "You can eat now," Mother said. I looked at the food. It was eggs and toast. The toast was a bit burned and the eggs had something red in it.

I took the fork and ate. What else was I supposed to do. If I didn't eat it my mother would have hit me or worse. I also didn't want to not eat. I was starving. My mother was standing there watching me eat. When I was done, eating my mother was going to take me back to my room.

Jack came in. I glared at him. I am so mad at him if I had a brick I would throw it at him, I thought. "Mrs.Woods, can I take Gemma to her room," Jack said.

"And why would you want to do that," Mother asked.

"I have some rules to go over with her that your husband asked me to deliver," Jack responded.

"Yeah sure," Mother said. Jack grabbed my hand and led me out of the room. When we got out I pulled my arm back. "What are you doing," I barked. "Helping you," Jack said calmingly. "And how are you helping me," I demanded. "Look Gemma," Jack said looking around. "I want to help you escape this place," He whispered. "And how can I trust you after what you did to me," I spat. "Do you want me to explain everything," Jack asked.

I looked at him. "No I don't want to know in fact I love it here. Of course I want to know Jack I hate it here," I whisper-yelled. We made it to my room. Jack walked in and closed the door. "Okay this is the whole story," Jack began. "I was in the before the town you lived in. Your parents found me and gave me an offer. I needed money for myself as selfish as that seems. I needed to money because I was struggling getting everything I needed with the small amount I had then." He said.

I looked at him as he spoke. "At first, I liked your personality and I was attracted to you. As I got to know you in the week before we drove here. I started to have feelings," He concluded. He had a faint blush on his cheeks. I smiled. "Well, it's nice for you to know I have feelings for you too," I said. I walked to him. He held my hands. He grinned at me. "Nice to know," he said.

We leaned in. Our lips connected. I put my hands around his neck. He wrapped his arms around me. He pulled me closer deepening the kiss. I felt so many emotions in the kiss. We pulled apart and put our foreheads together. We both smiled.

"Jack, Thanks for telling me the truth," I said. He smiled in return. We just stayed there enjoying each others company.
