The Unexpected (Jacksgap FanFic)

"Hey it's Finn."

Jessie's POV

I sat on my bed. Under my covers, thinking of a way to get out of this labrynth of thoughts. The maze of love. The maze of Jack. The labrynth of life. There was one thing kept popping into my head but I kept dismissing it as I was too scared to put a blade to my skin. It was not the answer. Not for this. He said he would phone me, now all I need to do is wait.

But waiting came with pain. And pain came with thoughts. Waiting on a phone call that wasn't coming. What if something happened to the plane? What if he's forgotten about me already? I need to clear my heads, clear my thoughts from all this. It's my mums fault, she's the one that wanted to move up here. And that Ewan. He disgusts me. Trying to take the place of my dad? I think not. My dad. His grave is back in London... I normally go and see it every so often but I forgot to say goodbye to him. But saying goodbye often led to never seeing each other again. And my dad is always here.

I figured Jack wasn't calling. I hadn't ate all day and I still wasn't hungry so I decided to crawl into bed and contemplate myself to sleep. Thinking of what tomorrow will bring me.

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing, hoping it was Jack. I answered and gave a sloppy "hello."

"Hey, it's Finn."

"Hey, what's wrong that your calling at this time?" I asked.

"Well... You know my twin, Jack?" Of course....

"Yes." I answered.

"My twin, the guy that looks like me." He said. He's taking the piss now.

"What about him?" He paused. "Finn?"

"Eh... Um... Lets just say this quickly." He mumbled. "Jack's plane went down and he's in hospital."

My mouth dropped, I had nothing to say. I felt bad for everything I had thought and just wanted to go, right there right now. I pulled myself together and finally brought myself to say something. "What?"

"Yeah, I know and I was wondering if you could come back to London to see him, for when he wakes up?"

"What?..." It's all I could say.

"For when Jack wakes up. My twin? Your boyfriend?"

"Yes Finn I am aware of who it is. But what?"

"Just get back as soon as possible. Please."

"Okay, I'll try." I hung up. Cuddling myself back into my duvet. Crying. Screaming. When eventually my mum came through.

"Is everything alright hunny?"

"What do you think mum?" I sniffled.

"Aw, my poor baby. What's happened?" She came over hugging me. Rocking me back and forth to calm me.

"It's Jack. It's my fault, if I hadn't let him go home so early it wouldn't of happened." I cuddled into the crook of her neck. "It's all my fault."

"What's your fault?" She asks confused.

"The crash. The hospital. The pain." I say. "Everything."

"I'm sure everything with be alright." She loosed her grip. "He'll be fine."

"I'm flying back to see him." I stand up. Getting a bag out. This was a lot of traveling for 4 days but I don't care. It may be the last I'll get to do for Jack and I'm not risking it.

"But hunny you have school."

"But mum he's dying. Don't you wish you could say goodbye to dad before he died?!" I ranted. Tears streaming down my face again. "Dad was your love. And he is mine."

She sat there in silence. Her mouth opened as if she was going to speak but nothing came out. She just sat there. And I packed. It was 4am. The next flight to Heathrow was at 7:45, which gave me a short time to get there if I wanted a ticket.

"Mum, call me a taxi?" I ask.

"Um.. Um... Yeah sure." She got up from her stiffened gaze. Still looking at the floor. I'm sure Kat or Selena will let me stay with them so I'll be fine.

I walked off the plane. Finn knew I was coming and he was coming to collect me and take me straight to the hospital.

"Finn, what's happened?" I was still a state and I doubt I'll look any better until I know he's alright.

"The plane crashed. Haven't you seen it on the news? Well there's 6 already confirmed dead and 10 body's still not recovered."

"We're lucky Jack was found then and I'm grateful he is still alive." Oh god.

Finn rushed me to the ward Jack was in. White bandages wrapped around his forehead and a steady pulse. Eyes closed.

"Jack... It's me, Jess. Surprise." I whisper. Hoping he can still hear me. I sat in the chair next to the bed while Finn went and got another. I took a firm grasp of his hand.

A tear runs down my cheek and Finn walks back into the room. He sat next to me. He put his hand on mine and Jack's... His head on my shoulder hiding his emotions from me.

We sat for a while. Just waiting for Jack to open his eyes. Those green eyes I want to see so badly.

Something started to beep and I immediately got up panicking. Hugging Jack almost collapsing on the floor.

"Miss, I'm afraid your going to have to leave the room."

That was my que to whisper in his ear.

"I love you." Me and Finn watched in through the window in the door for a bit and saw him getting worse. He hugged me when I saw them put a white sheet over his face.
