The Unexpected (Jacksgap FanFic)

Scrap Books and Memories

Kat's POV

It was the second day i was back at school and i went to the 'meeting point' to walk with Jack and Finn. When i saw Jack and JESSIE there. Yes, Jessie! I hadn't spoke to her for days i was so excited!! I got closer and saw her on the floor, it looked as if she was crying. I ran over to her, picked her up and hugged her.

"Jessie what's wrong?"

"Finn, tell her?" That's when I realised i was wrong, it was Finn. Not Jack. Where was he? It was odd to only have one of the twins here.

"She's moving." He said with his hand covering his mouth and turning to face the other way trying to escape his own space bubble.

"What? Jess?" I say, my knees weakening, my heart aching. My body shutting off. I found myself crying and people had been talking to me but I wasn't taking any of it in.

"Are you okay Kat?" I hear Finn saying to me.

"Yeah... Yeah I'm fine."

"I'm sorry Kat." Jess said to me. "Finn, where's Jack?"

"Eh... I don't know..." Finn says.

"What do you mean you don't know?!" I stay out of it. Jess and Finn could sort this out between them.

"Well... He walked out last night, and never came back." Finn said. He looked worried.

"What have you done? Where is he? We need to find him! We can't just stand here and do nothing!" Jessie was on a rampage. She started shaking.

"C'mon Jess. You and Finn go to school, I'll look around for Jack and come in later." I say hugging her, comforting her. She didn't say anything except walk. Not talking to Finn, in tears.

I know i shouldn't be skipping school and everything but i thought it would be best for Jack. I started looking near his house and worked my way back. I walked past the park and never noticed this tall boy sitting on the swings. He was looking down so i hid behind the closest bush and shouted.

"JACK!" And hid behind the bush again. If he turned around and reacted i knew it would be Jack. The boy looked up and round about and he looked like Jack but wasn't acting like him.

So i walked over and took the swing next to him. "Everyone's worried sick about you."

"Why would they be? Nobody cares about me..." He replied. This was not Jack. The Jack i know was never this depressed or upset.

"What about Jess, she cares about you." I say trying to make him remember that he needs to be there with her to spend every last minute they have together.

"If she cared she wouldn't move!" And with that he got up and walked away. I grabbed my bag and followed him. Putting my arm around him steadying him, to make him see sense.

"Jack, this is hard on me too. But you have to stay strong, for Jessie's sake." I see him turning round to look at me, like i had came up with the best plan ever. Stay strong. He started walking towards his house.

"Going to get changed for school, i can get my mum to give us a lift if you want?" He asked. That would be great. Then we won't be that late.

And I was right, we were only about 10 minutes late and never got into that much trouble... People sleep in all the time. Jack was in Jess's class so i thought she would be glad to see him. The sooner the better. I hugged Jack and went off to my class. Which was English. Great.

Jessie's POV

I couldn't concentrate. Not without knowing Jack was fine, it was all my fault. If we didn't have to move none of this would've happened. Why mum? Why?

I had this empty seat beside me. And an empty feeling inside. And I felt my heart sink. I felt like i was nothing to anybody. All i wanted was for Jack to be alright, for my heart to fill back up with joy.

Someone came to the door. I didn't realise who it was until the chair next to me was taken.

"Excuse me thats Ja-" I said, not finishing my sentence. "JACK!" I hugged him, making sure he couldn't get out of my grasp again. I don't care that we're in class. Jack is fine, that's all that matters.

"That's me!" He replied. I know he wasn't up for talking. I know this must be hard on him, but its hard for me too.

"Jack, i don't want to move..." I bursted out crying. In the middle of the class. I ran out, i couldn't just sit there with everyone staring at me. So i bolted. I wanted Jack to follow but he would get into trouble. I sat outside the classroom door.

Jack came out a couple of minutes before the bell, he was the only one that understood my pain. He sat down right next to me and told me that we would be together when I came back. I promised him that no matter what happens i will come back. I will.

The time came that i had to tell Gavin and Selena the news about me moving. And the best way to tell them was face to face with Jack there by my side.

"Okay... Gavin, Selena. This is the hardest thing I've ever had to tell you." I took Jack's hand and took a breath in.

"OMG are you pregnant?!" Selena laughed. And I couldn't help but look at her in a "ugh" way.

"No Selena... This isn't something to joke about."

"What's going on Jess?" Gavin asked and Selena moved her lips saying sorry without the words coming out. But I knew what she was saying and i wasn't mad at her.

"I'm... I'm..."

"She's moving." Jack put his head down and i hugged him, i didn't want to see him cry and i did not want him upset anymore. The others joined in our hug and i heard the two of them sobbing. I had caused all this commotion and its all my fault they're upset.

"When do you go?" I heard Kat say wondering up to me with a book in her hand.

"6 days." And with that Kat handed me the book in her hand.

"It's my scrap book of all of us and our short and long times together." She said looking at Jack and Finn then me, Selena and Gavin. I took it and hugged her so tight.

The end of the day came pretty quick. And that just meant one thing. It was another day sooner to leaving. I had organised a sleepover with Kat and Selena before i left. And I had also arranged to go iceskating with Gavin, Jack and Finn. And tonight Jack was coming back round.

He came over a couple of hours after school and we sat outside for a bit talking about what was going to happen while i was gone. Although it didn't turn out well talking about it as it only brought us sadness. So we sat there on the step. His arm around me. Watching the world go by.

"We will be reunited again." I say to Jack. I was positive that we will.

"I know, i have to make that happen." We sat in silence for awhile when i hear him say something to me.

"I love you too." I say back. And in that moment of time i knew it, I loved Jack Harries. Nobody else in the world existed to me right now except this boy right here.
