The Unexpected (Jacksgap FanFic)

Too Much at One Time

Jack's POV

I heard my mum open the door again. But I then heard footsteps up the stairs. I walked over to my door and held it shut.

"Mum, I don't want to talk to anyone." I say hoping she gets the message to go back downstairs and tell Kat to go away again.

"Not even me?" The hurt voice said behind the door.

"Who is it?"

"It's fine I'll just go... Sorry to bother you." The voice I had been wanting to hear forever was walking away. I opened my door and before I knew it I was stopping her. Holding her arm. Butterflies erupting in my stomache.

"Stranger." I say. She looked beautiful I just. "-you look good." I stutter out. Now I just sound like an idiot.

"Thanks..." She replies. "You too."

"About-"

"It's fine Jack, Kat told me everything. I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions." Was this real? Or?

"So do you want to talk about things?" I ask.

"Yeah, that's if you want to talk to someone now." Her laugh was there. That sweet little laugh.

"Sure, come in. Um... Sorry about...." I stop. "That." I motioned to the mess in my room and rushed to clean some it up.

"It's fine Jack, just leave it." I swear this is the least she's ever spoke. One problem, small talk was not my area.

I stumble back and sit on my bed. "You can sit down you know."

"I know." She sat down next to me and my heart stopped for a minute with the tension. It is possible for your heart to do that, I did my research. Or well Finn did...

I broke the silence in the most awkward way possible. "So.... How's life"

"Good, yours?" I've got to get something out of her.

"Hell." I reply honestly. Looking around my room. I think about everything we've ever done and been through and I then understand why it's so awkward...

"Nice desktop." Finally. "I've always wanted an iMac. But they were too expensive. I just settled with the MacBook Pro." It took me awhile to understand what she just said. I was staring at the smile that had formed on her lips and the dimples at the side of them. I swear that's new. "Jack?"

"Hmm." In a trace. I feel hypnotised.

"Are you alright?" She starts clicking her fingers in front of my eyes and I snap out of it.

I cough. "Yeah, yeah. I'm fine." I stall. "Did your mum finally agree to move back then?"

"Ha. No, my mum has only not long figured out that I've moved back. I never told her."

"Good choice. But isn't it strange living yourself. Don't you get lonely?" I ask. I wouldn't like to live myself.

"Yeah, but I've learned to like being alone. It's peaceful." Her smile goes. "Okay, right. I'm here to say I'm sorry. I never should've broken up with you before I knew the whole story and picked which one I believed. But Selena got me into believing the story I thought. I know you'll never forgive me and you have a reason. Possibly more than one. But I'm sorry." It sounded like a big blur she said it all that quickly.

She looked sad now, almost... In tears. I just wanted to hold her but I knew it wouldn't be right to. "Friends?" She asked. Never thought I'd be sad if she asked to just be friends but it seriously broke my heart even more. I wasn't expecting her to come begging for me back. But in some ways I hope she did. Because I want her back.

"Sure." I smile. I wasn't sure if she was convinced it was a real smile or not.

She gave me a quick hug which I wish lasted a lot longer. And she started rambling again. "But if you don't want to be friends I'm totally okay with that and we can just go back to being like strangers. But I didn't like that because I missed you and I didn't know what to do so-"

I don't know what made me do it but I felt something dragging me in. I kissed her. I shut her up. I'm glad I did. I pulled away from her and her eyes were still closed. She opened her eyes slowly. Her big brown eyes glistening.

"Friends then?" She said catching her breath.

Finn's POV

I stood standing at the door of Jack's. It was slightly open and I could see Jess moving her hands about ranting on and on about something I couldn't even understand.

Jack finally kissed her and shut her up. I wasn't sure if I should be looking but I couldn't take my eyes away. It was like watching a film. But in 3D.

"Friends?" She asked.

"Woah." I but in. "So he loves you and you clearly love him. But you just want to be friends?"

"For now." Jessie says.

"Right, I see." I turn to Jack. "Don't get hurt."

I don't know what came over me but I walked back out and slammed the door behind me. I knew I was rude. But it seemed to me as if she was playing him. I never should have went to Jessie's house the other day. That's the second time I've seen them.... Kissing. But this time was more powerful. I just don't understand. I walked back into my room and looked out my window to see her friends leaving her house.

My opinion totally changed.

"So she ditched them just to see..." I say to myself. "Hmm."

Then I saw Selena on her penny board. I ran and got mine and made sure it was an "accident" that I may bump into her.

"Hey." I say trying to keep my cool.

"Hi." She says back picking her penny board up off the ground.

"I see you have a penny board too then?"

"For ages! Did you name yours too or am I just weird?" She asks. I laugh.

"This is Sham." I say holding up Sham.

"Mine is called Finn....LAY." She turned red and faced the other way. Finlay? Cool name for a penny board.

"That's a pretty cool name." I say smiling. She turns back around.

"So do you want to go boarding with me?" She asks shyly.

"Of course."

Jessie's POV

My heart was beating fast. I didn't know what to do. I didn't trust him. Not yet. But he kissed me? Finn saw? Now he thinks I'm going to hurt Jack? Now I feel bad. Can't I tell him?

"Well that was interesting." Jack says getting up. I could tell he was getting hot-headed.

"I'm sorry Jack." I say.

"Care to explain?" He rubs his hands on his face. "I share the same thought as my brother. Surprise surprise."

I take a few breaths.

"I don't know if I fully trust you." I blurt out. Head in my hands. Batting back the tears.

"I did nothing wrong!" Yep. Definitely hot-headed.

"Jack... I saw you with another girl. That girl; my best friend." I felt bad but now I had to explain. "She may say you did nothing wrong and I believe her. But I felt like shit Jack. And what did you do? Did you try to explain? Did you try to cheer me up? What did you do Jack?!"

"How do you think I felt? You showing up out of the blue?" I wish I could take back my words. I felt really light headed. Dizziness taking over. "And how do you greet me? Oh that's right you didn't." I stood up and he started making his way towards me. "So don't try and put this all on me! A relationship works two ways!"

My head wasn't taking anything in. I started breathing quicker and I sat back down.

"Don't give me that fake shit!" He yells at me. Everything was beginning to play back in my head. The swings. The first time he told me he loved me. Scotland. Everything. Things started going blurry but one picture stayed in my head.

Him.
