My Blinded Sweetheart BEN Drowned/Eyeless Jack Love Story

Jack

Jack's P.O.V.

"Lacey...?" BEN said in his gentle voice. "Hey Lacey get up!" I yelled. My voice was really loud. I guess it kinda freaked people out sometimes. I didn't mean for it to! I just had no inside voice. It wasn't a choice, I just couldn't talk quietly.

"Shut up you oaf!" snapped BEN. His voice was too nonthreatening. I couldn't feel scared. "Lacey! Come on!" I took her from his arms. I rocked her until I saw her eyes flutter open. I used my foot to keep BEN away, who was going ape shit.

"Jack?" I nodded my head. "It's me..." She and I locked eyes, or lack there of, for a few minutes. "I thought you left." Her eyes were immediately filled with hurt. "I thought you didn't care but... You did." I nodded. "Of course I cared! I still... I still do."

Her in my arms, I wouldn't have minded if that moment never ended. That would have left me content. However, that isn't how it was. Masky yanked her away from me. "Give her back you douche!" I snapped. "Don't call him a douche!" yelled Lacey. "Sorry!" I yelled in my uncomfortably loud voice.

We all sat in awkward silence until Lacey spoke. "BEN... Told me he loved me." The room was silent. "Well... That's stupid. 'Cause I love you too." I stated dumbly with a dopey smile on my face. Lacey froze. "You do?!" I nodded. "I wouldn't have gotten that necklace for you if I didn't.

I felt something grab me and pull me away by my hoodie. "Stay away from Lacey!" screamed BEN. "I've been trying to earn her affection since we were younger! I love her! I'm not letting you walk in here and take her from me!" I uppercut him. The jackass had it coming. Knocked back a bit, he had a bruised chin and a fat lip. He lunged at me, but Masky grabbed him.

"Will you two knock your shit off?! Lacey is-" Simultaneously, BEN and I screamed "Get your head out of your ass and actually look at her!" Sending a quick glare at each other, I picked her up. "She's smart. She's got tits. Her ass is big like a pillow. She's kind. And she's mature. She's not a little kid, dammit! Stop treating her like we're all twelve and this is her first date!"

I watched as slowly, Masky pulled his mask off. "I want you out of my house. Both of you." he hissed patiently. "You know what? No! If I'm going, I'm taking Lacey!" Holding Lacey tight in my arms, I ran out. I knew Masky was steps behind me, but I managed to lose him when I ran into a forest.

Leaning up against a tree, Lacey in my arms, I sighed. She was beautiful. She looked back up at me. "Jack..." We locked eyes for a minute. "I feel like for those first few months together... We barely got to know each other... But I'd like to get to know you..." Pulling my mask up slowly, I bent down, lips trembling, and kissed her. "I'd like to, as well."
