JESS POV:

I woke up to an annoying tapping sound. I noticed it was dark outside since my room was now pitch black so I glanced at my phone to check the time--12:17 am. Crap I slept all day.

Where was that tapping coming from? I spoke too soon, seconds later a big rock shattered the window and landed on the floor next to my bed.

I cautiously walked over to the window and peeked my head out hoping to not see Jason from Friday the 13th waiting below to kill me. I jumped when I saw a figure, but then realized it was Michael standing in the back yard scratching his head.

I sighed and locked eyes with him to motion that I was going downstairs to let him in. I turned around and walked quietly down stairs to the front door.

"Hi," he said walking in with an apologetic look in his eyes.

I closed the door behind him and turned to face him before wrapping my arms around his neck to hug him. He pulled my hips in to tighten the hug.

After a couple seconds I pulled away and giggled through the tears forming in my eyes. "You could have rang the doorbell you know, like a normal person."

"Yeah but that's not romantic," he smirked.

"Well neither is throwing a mini boulder through my window and shattering it,"

"Yeah tell Holly i'll pay for that," he gave me a smile before grabbing my face and pulling me in for a kiss. He pulled apart but kept our foreheads pressed together and wiped away my tears with the pads of his thumbs.

"God I've missed you," he breathed.

"I've missed you too, it was so weird sleeping alone last night."

"Luke came over and explained everything to me. I'm such a dick I didn't listen to anything you were trying to say to me," he kissed me again.

I sniffled and stayed silent looking up into his green eyes.

"I love you. I'm so fucking in love with you Jess. Will you please forgive me I don't think I can stand being away from you for another day," he pleaded.

I sighed running my hand through my hair. "Michael, I love you too, it's just this past day has been so terrible I.. I can't go through that again."

"Shhh babe it's okay," he cooed.

I couldn't help the tears falling still so I just sobbed into his neck. "Why didn't you listen to me, you know I'd never cheat on you. Especially with Luke!"

"It's complicated," he stated kind of coldly.

"No, it's really not. You know you can tell me anything, please I know you're hiding something. What happened in your past Michael to make you get so upset?" I asked. I know I was pushing the subject I just wanted to know.

"I promise that is a story I will tell you in due time. Let's just put this behind us it was a huge misunderstanding, but I'm here now and I'm not going anywhere," he replied rubbing my arms.

I wiped the last of my tears and nodded. "Okay good because I'm not going anywhere either, I promise" I stuck out my pinky and he interlocked his with mine.

He then picked me up and threw me over his shoulder.

"Michael put me down!" I yelled not containing my laughter.

"Shhh you're going to wake up Holly and Ash," he whispered back and we both laughed quietly.

Once we reached the sofa in the lounge he gently laid me down on my back and hovered over me. "Wanna watch a movie? We're long over due for some cuddling," he asked.
