The Story Of My Life ( A Jacksgap Story )

Chapter Eight, Back on Track

Light shone through a tiny gap in the curtains. I lay there and look at the arm placed carefully over my waist. I roll over and rest my head on Jacks smooth chest. I look up and I'm greeted with his emerald green eyes. I smile and sit up and rest in his arms.

"Morning" I smile as I look up at him. 

"Morning" He smiles. I'm glad to be back with him, I had spent over a week thinking I had lost him forever. But being back in his arms just felt right, like I was meant to be here. 

"Look, I'm sorry for everything, I didn't mean to put you through anything. When  I saw you I was filled with guilt and I hated my self. You are the best thing to ever happen to me, I almost waved that goodbye. I love you Jack and I always have. I'm so sorry" I say trying to clear the air between us. 

"You have nothing to worry about, I know I didn't exactly react in the normal way. But you mean everything to me. I honestly don't know how I would function with out you." He stops mid-sentence, and cups the cheek he slapped. I flinch and his eyes widen " Oh my god! I'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I'm so so sorry" He apologizes. I smile and his whole body relaxes. 

"It's fine, don't worry about it" He lets out a relieved sigh. I pull him in for a hug, and rest my head on his shoulder and we just embrace each other for a while. I get out of bed and grab my t-shirt, jeans, and my underwear and walk back in to the bathroom. I get dressed and wash my face. I tie my hair back into a pony tail. I look in the mirror and see my cheek. It looks red and slightly swollen. It grab some tissue and soak it in cold water and hold it to my cheek. It stung, and I flinch. Ow! After a while, the pain dulled down slightly. I dried my face and walked out. I see Jack dressed and sitting on his bed. I sit down beside him. 

"Are you ok?" I ask

"Is Finn okay?" He responds

"What do you mean?"

"I never even took him in to consideration. I mean I just locked myself away. I mean Mel cheated on him. I never asked if he was okay. He must have been feeling like shit, and I certainly hadn't helped. Is he okay?" 

"Yes, he was worried about you. We both were after he told me about everything. But he's your brother. Nothing will ever change that, not some cheap slut who doesn't understand relationships!" I go into my own angry world when she is just mentioned. I get snapped back into reality as Jack grabbed my hand. "Don't worry" I smile looking back at him. A smile tugs at his lips. I stand up and pull him up off the bed. I drag him to the door and we walk down stairs. We stand outside the living room door, and I look up to Jack. I kiss him gently, before we walk in. We walk in to the living room, we see Finn sat there looking worried. He slowly looks up and his eyes widens. He gets up and runs up to Jack and leaps into a hug. I let go of Jacks had, as these two brothers share this moment. I then suddenly realise that I had spent the night. I hadn't left the apartment for over a week, then I stay out all night. Uh-Oh! LEWIS! I rush to by bag and rummage around to find my phone. Yep! 9 missed calls and 15 texts asking where I was. I felt bad, but I knew that it would be better to tell Lewis that I was bad with Jack in person. I put my phone away and go back in to the living room. I sit down next to Jack, as he wraps his arm around waist. I rest my head on his shoulder and he softly strokes my hair. I look over at Finn and I realise that he hasn't got anyone anymore. I feel guilty and sit up and slide over next to him.

"Forget her" I say gently.

"I know, but it's hard" He replies

"Your better off with out her, you could have anyone you wanted. Forget about her"

"Thanks" He replies with a smile. I pull him in for the hug. His body relaxed into mine. I think it had been the first time in a long time, since he could properly relax. I pull away, and realise I've left Lewis long enough and I had to get home.
