vanessa pov

jack has been acting weird lately..

all he wants is sex, which i let him.. i mean we are married and sky is with my parents for a week.

but something has been bugging him and whenever i ask he rolls his eyes and gets mad...

so i stopped bringing up the topic.

"jack? where are you?" i call from the top of the stairs.

"down here, in the kitchen!" he somewhat shouts back so i can hear him.

i trot down the wooden stairs and go into the modern kitchen.

"your lunch is in the fridge, don't forget it," i laugh. he tends to do that a lot.

"uh- yea ok." he blankly said.

"jack, please talk to me."

"no! i said nothing is wrong so fucking get it through your head that nothing is wrong!"

I'm taken aback at his sudden outburst.

"um, ok yea sorry." i murmur walking back up to our room.

i hear the door slam and a car start. i can't believe that happened. he's never really yelled at me over something so stupid.

i'm currently driving to jacks work to drop off his lunch. i do not want to do this at all after this morning.

he's lucky i still bother to make his lunch when he is perfectly capable of walking his ass down to the cafeteria or making himself one.

i walk in the glass doors and see no one at the front desk. great, now i have to actually deliver it to him.

i walk into the metal elevator and press 5.

the doors open slowly and i step out. walking down the hall to jacks office. i see gilinsky printed on the door.

i knock three times before hearing a bunch of muffled sounds and some one say 'come in'.

i do so and open the door. seeing jack sitting at his seat as a brunette was gathering a bunch of papers on his desk.

"oh hey, set my lunch down on the chair by you." he says glancing at me then back down at his computer.

"ok. how's work so far?" im not trying to be a bitch.

"fine, busy. so you can leave now." he says getting up and walking to the door where i was standing.

he opens the door wider motioning me to leave. my eyes start to water at how rude he's being. a tear or two falls and i quickly wipe them.

"bye see you at home," he stares at me blankly.
"i-i love you.." i hesitate.

"ok good bye." he says with no emotion.

he didn't say it back..

"jack? who is this?" the brown haired girl says coming over grasping jacks hand. he pulls it away, looking at her somewhat weirded out at how she just grabbed his hand.

"oh, sorry it kinda just happened. anyways who is she?" she laughs, while jack gives a small smile back.

"shes just-"

"his wife. im just his wife." i say while tears are spilling out of me.

"goodbye jack."

"wait! no nessa!"

i just keep walking and don't even bother to take the slow elevator, so i take the stairs.

i can't believe that happened.

slamming the front door behind me, i stomp upstairs to my bedroom and slam that door as well.

i walked into the bathroom and stripped from my clothes and hopped into the steamy shower.

i thought i could hold it together, but i couldn't.
i broke down right when i stepped into the shower.

i sobbed and sobbed.

why would he act like that? does he really not love me? am i just his wife?

then it hit me.. he's cheating. with the brunette girl i bet. i already thought he cheated on me with another girl at his work, but he didn't. or did he?

no vanessa, think positive.

i got out of the shower, drying my damp body.
i changed into an oversized tee-shirt, jacks to be exact, and cotton shorts.

i laid on the bed and cried softly.

suddenly jack bursts through the bedroom door.

"vanessa! holy shit, i thought you packed your bags and left me. baby.. im sorry, work has been stressing me out lately, and i took it out on you.." i look up at him astonished that he blamed work and not that hoe, "have you been crying?" he adds, looking at me with eyes full of sorrow.

"are you cheating on me? with the brown haired girl, your assistant i think?"

"madison?" oh, that's her name. "no, vanessa, i wouldn't, ever."

"do you love me?" i ask.

"what? yes of course i do? nessa why would you ask-"

"because you didn't say it back today, and im just your wife and all."

"god damnit! vanessa i love you so god damn much! i would never want to be with anybody else," here come the tears." your the only one i want."

and they came. i start balling my eyes and hold my head in my hands.

"i need time, time away from this. im getting sky tomorrow and we are going to stay somewhere for a few days."

"what should i pack?" he asks, looking around the room.

"nothing, because your not going. i need time away from you."

"no, your not ending things are you?"!

"i don't know jack... i don't know," i say just above a whisper.

"please don't go.. at all. we can work this out." he pleads.

"can we, jack?"
