My eyes shot open, I could hear an alarm but it wasn't mine, I went to sit up but there was something holding me down, I looked and Jack had his arm over me, still on top of the duvet and still fully dressed. Shit, we fell asleep
"Jack" I whispered, he groaned and snuggled in to my side, my heart melted, I smiled at him, "come on you"
"Baby five more minutes" he mumbled in his sleepy voice, wait, baby? I ran my hand through his hair,
"Did you just call me baby?" He nodded and nuzzled in,
"Jack come on" I whispered louder, he gave a loud groan and rolled over, I smiled to myself, he's like a grumpy teenager. I was lost in my own thoughts when he sat up as fast as he could,
"Fuck"
"Mhm"
"We fell asleep?" I nodded and got out of bed too, I found jacks phone on the floor and turned the alarm off, without saying anything I made my way straight to the shower, was it wrong of me to want him to come in and join me? Although after last night...

"This can't happen again" Jack said yet again as we got in his car
"Of course" I agreed, knowing not to even take it seriously anymore
"I'm being serious, how do you think it looks, both of us leaving your apartment together, my car has been there all night, my clothes all creased which I now have to work in, not just any work, work as your teacher" he was winding himself up the whole way to school, I'd texted Ben not to bother coming to get me but I had a feeling like he probably wouldn't anyway quite like yesterday after school. Jack stopped on a quiet Estate round the corner from the school, "ok I'll see you later have a nice day" he said without even looking at me,
"You know, I'm glad we didn't go further last night if this is how you would treat me the next morning" I got out the car and started walking, he overtook me in his car and sped out of sight. I shed a couple of tears on my walk to school, I couldn't help it, he was so sweet when he wanted to be but other than that? He was an asshole.
*****
School dragged by all day, I was sat in the carpark yet again waiting for Ben, absolutely nothing. I started my walk home, all I wanted to do was curl up and cry, I just don't know what I can do anymore, Ben seems to have ditched me for his new boyfriend, I didn't know what I would be walking in to when it came to Zoe, I couldn't go to school without thinking about how used I felt by one of my teachers. It started raining again, but instead of wanting to get out of it I just walked slower, letting it soak in to my clothes, enjoying walking through the new puddles it was creating,
"Need a lift?" I knew that voice. I turned to see jacks passenger window open
"No. thank you." I replied bluntly and kept walking, I was past the point of caring if he followed me home, I just didn't want to be close to him anymore, don't get me wrong I felt something I've never felt before when I was around him, it was exactly what I've read about, the butterflies, tingles, the craving each other, and I think we've both been experiencing it. I like that feeling. However the feeling I don't like, Is the feeling of being dumped 50 times a day when he gives me the 'we can't do this again' speech.
"long slow drive for me then" he called out of his window and carried on driving next to me. I stopped and looked through his window at him.
"look, I'm going to run, you're going to follow in your car. If you're scared about what people thought before, you'd better be scared about what they think now because you're just going to look like a creepy man in a car who's following me home. Your choice. I'm happy to walk." I stormed off down the road, his car was still stopped and I smiled a little to myself. I win.
