Even If. {A Jacksgap Fanfiction}

The Harries who Stole My Heart.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. There are some actions that no matter how small, can change everything. Sometimes it's just one single moment, one single decision. In my case, that's what it was.

Here's the thing, no matter how hard the journey I took turned out to be, I wouldn't take it back or change one second of it. Every high and low of the past few months led up to this moment, and it made every single bad feeling that I felt, worth it.

His arms were wrapped around me and for once, I felt no ounce of regret or doubts. I knew that I wanted to be in his arms forever, just like this; my face nuzzled up against the warm fabric of his tee shirt that smelled like him. Even the very smell of him made my head spin.

Neither of us wanted to unlock our embrace, but I yearned to see his face. Now that I'd made my decision on who I wanted to date, I was going to be seeing it more often, so I might as well get used to it.

He cheekily grinned down at me and cupped his hands around my cheek, pulling me in for a chaste kiss. Once his lips touched mine I felt exhilerated. Even at the smallest kiss and the lightest touch, he made my head spin and I could barely remember my own name.

"Beth," he muttered, his voice still raspy from the morning. Just the sound of his voice made my knees go weak.

"Jack," I breathed out and couldn't hide my grin.

"I have to ask, but when you said something like... I don't know... 'I knew it was you' did you like... mean it?" he asked me with a raised eyebrow while scratching the back of his neck. I could see his muscles flex as he did this and I almost swooned. It was almost like before I made my decision, I was holding back from noticing how striking he actually was, and now it was all hitting me full force.

I could hardly contain my excitement as I bit my lip and nodded excitedly.

"I meant it," I broke into a grin.

"So... just clarifying," he assured me with a smile,"that means... that it's me you choose out of me or Finn?"

I chuckled and playfully hit him on the shoulder. "What, do you want me to change my mind?"

His expression grew panicked, "No, no, no, n-" he repeated quickly before I cut him off by placing my lips on his.

"Kidding," I said on his lips and he chuckled before deepening the kiss. His arms wrapped around me once more and he pulled me closer and rubbed small circles on my lower back while I rested my arms on his shoulders, lacing my fingers through his soft brown hair.

He detached his lips from mine and with a smirk he began placing small kisses from my neck to my jawline. I almost sighed as he lifted his head and bore his eyes into mine.

"Mine," he whispered, almost inaudibly before his lips found mine once more.

Both of us were no longer holding back. I was his and he was mine and nothing could come between us anymore. I had no doubts in my mind anymore that we would no longer be together.

Instead of kissing needfully like usual, we kissed lovingly because I no longer needed an answer.

"Jackson Frayn Harries is the love of my life and I will do anything for him," I thought as we kissed. It was a good thing that I loved him so much, because who would've known then what was to come for us.

I knew I had to say goodbye to Finn once we got back to London, but I didn't care anymore. I forced the thought out of my mind and just focused on Jack.

"I think," he muttered on my lips and placed one more kiss before pulling away, "we need to talk."

I groaned. I wanted to keep kissing him now that he was mine, and he could totally read my expression, because he chuckled and leaned in close. "Oh you'll get more," he whispered into my ear, and he was so close that I could feel his warm breath tickle the side of my cheek.
