The Unexpected (Jacksgap FanFic)

Anger or Sadness?

Jack's POV

I had never felt this pain before. I had known the girl for a month and she already knew how to break my heart. More than that, smash it. But I got to the end of the street and felt myself walking back, i wasn't controlling myself. My brain was. I took one step onto the step that stood outside her door and heard her sobbing. I didn't even knock. I just opened the door. But something was in the way.

"Jessie!" I shouted. And I felt the thing move and the door fully open.

"Yes?" She said quietly, tears still dripping down her face. I wipe them away but more just keeps coming. "Im sorry Jack I-"

"I know you didn't mean it Jess, there's something wrong isn't there?" I ask trying not to make her more upset. She sits down on the step so i sit next to her to comfort her one arm around her back.

"Jack..." She says and starts hiccuping in her breaths.

"It's alright Jess, you can tell me." I say making small circles with my hand on her shoulder blade to sooth her.

"But i don't like goodbye's!"

"And why would you need to say goodbye?" I ask. Tears starting to fill in my eyes too. I didn't know what was going to come out her mouth but i sure did know it would be powerful.

She took one breath and said it. Those words. I didn't want to take them in. "Jack, I'm moving." I found that i had put my head inbetween her neck and shoulder. Crying my eyes out. And two words came out. Not three, not those three little words. Two.

"You can't."

"I can." She said and took another deep breath. "I'm going to have to."

"When? How long have we got together? Why didn't you tell me sooner? Do you know how hard this is? Why Jess? Why?" I rambled out all these questions, some of anger and some of sadness.

"Next week. We have until my plane takes off. I couldn't i just didn't have the guts. It's harder for me than it is for you. And because my mum. My mum thinks. She thinks i need a new background." She rambled back, but finished in her usual soft voice. Looking up so the tears didn't stream any further.

"It's okay to cry Jessie." I say. "But lets get you inside, it looks like its going to rain cats and dogs." I smiled at her, trying to hide this pain. This pain of nothingness inside me. This pain of her. She got up without saying a word and took me inside. I want to spend as much time with her now as possible.

The thoughts in my head were building a wall. Layer by layer, thicker and thicker. I did not want her to move. I didn't. And she can't and will not move.

"If you move, I'm coming with you."

"But Jack you have your whole year ahead of you here and you can't let me ruin that. No, I don't want to move and it breaks my heart leaving you here but I'm afraid it's already done." I know she's trying to say it the nicest way possible.

"I know its done, but have you sold your house here? There's been no 'for sale' signs up." I say quite curiously.

"No, my mum says we might come back over the holidays."

"What about your dad, doesn't he have some say in this?" Some hope in me tells me theres a way with her dad.

"Oh, you don't know do you?" Her head drops, her her bowing between her knees. "My dad passed away 5 months ago because of heart failure..." She cut herself off and again the tears down her face. I pull her close and reassure her it's alright.

Her mum comes in from the garden and gives me a smile and tells us that she needs to go out to help her friend. So she left.

"Hey, Jessie. Do you want to watch a film?" I say and look down at her asleep. I kiss her on the forehead and put my head leaned on hers and fell asleep myself.

Finn's POV

Jack still wasn't home yet, he had been away since we got back from school which was 3 and a half hours ago. I wasn't sure if i was to be worried or not so i phoned him. He didn't answer.

"Man, nobody answers they're phones these days!" I thought out loud and realised i better stop talking to myself before my mum or dad thinks I've gone mad. But of course - I'm Finn Harries, how could they think I (out of all people) could be mad.

After contemplating with myself I finally come to the agreement that I, Finn Harries, is not mad. I, Finn Harries, must go look for my brother. I, Finn Harries, is the better twin.

I got up out of my computer chair and walked outside to the pouring rain. The heavens had opened. So i walked through it to Jessie's house, it was only a few minutes away. The window was open so i had a peek in. Both of them lying on the couch, i couldn't just wake them up. I felt like being a good twin and giving them some peace and texting Jack when he was to be home for... If he woke up. Mum said it wasn't too much of a problem.

I put my head phones in and watched a few more videos. And checked Jack's channel to pass time. Whatever was wrong was Jessie must be better now, or getting there. I'll talk to her at school tomorrow if she still isn't avoiding us. I felt lonely. I hadn't had anyone to talk to since Jack went to Jess's and i was just basically sitting in silence like an unsociable child. I heard the front door close and i sat on my bed with a rubix cube. I know old schooled but it had the effect.

"So why are you back so late?" I say twirling the cube in my hand.

"I fell asleep, then i put Jessie to bed... I didn't want to wake her." Pretty good reply i guess.

"Well what was wrong with her then?!" I exclaim awaiting the gossip.

"I don't really want to talk about it, she should tell you herself."

"No Jack just tell me!"

"FINE! She's moving!" And he stormed back out of our bedroom and i heard the front door slam again. Where he was going i had no clue but i thought I'd give him some time to cool off.
