Zoophobia:Tears to blood

Chapter 2: The Reunion

Jack sat on the steps of his front porch resting his head on his right hand as he waited, two days had passed since he got the letter and he had begun to wonder if Damian really had forged the letter just to get him to give him some money but Jack just couldn't believe it and he continued waiting. The past two days the news of Jill coming over was enough to cheer Jack up the entire time even through school and his curse and now was the day Jill was coming and he waited on his steps almost praying that she would come because the anticipation at this point was killing him. suddenly on the driveway of his house a glowing red pentagram appeared with a glowing pillar in it and he recognized the shape that walked out of the pillar of light "Jill!" Jack said getting up quickly only to trip and accidentally knock his head off his shoulders Jill smiled and she picked up his head and screwed it back onto his body "hey Jack!" she said a little hesitantly and Jack frowned as he got up and they sat there awkwardly for a while "look Jill why don't we go inside first?" he suggested as he opened the door and she walked in with her luggage "My mom got a room ready for you" he said as he beckoned her towards the guest room and she stepped in then put her luggage down and sat on the bed. Jack sat down next to her, what was he gonna say? he looked over at Jill "so um...are you alright? I read on the message about you and Drake, what happened?" he said showing genuine concern and Jill looked up at him and suddenly she hugged him tightly as tears began to come down her cheeks and one of Jack's eyes popped out of his head but he grabbed it and put it back into it's socket then hugged Jill back as she cried on his shoulder and Jack closed his eyes as he listened to Jill's story "W-we were going on a date it was going fine until two girls came over and asked him what he was doing here and they explained to me that he'd been cheating, I trusted him Jack!" Jack heard this and felt a fury that made him want to find Drake and make him pay for what he'd done but right now that was not important, right now he had to comfort his friend. they sat there hugging for awhile and Jill continued crying but after about 20 minutes Jack broke the hug and went to the kitchen then came back with some water and offered it to Jill "here, drink some water" he said handing it to her "I don't think even I've cried that much before, you must be pretty dehydrated" he said sitting down beside her "y-yeah you're right" she said after she finished the water and set it on the night stand and she wiped away what tears remained on her tear stained cheeks "I'm so sorry Jack, for leaving you like I did" she said looking away "Hey it's ok" Jack said shrugging it off even though it really had been a big deal to him  "I just feel so bad, you trusted me and I just threw our friendship away like it was nothing and now here you are, even after I'd done that, comforting me and letting me stay over as though I never did anything wrong to you" she said as tears began to rise again and Jack put a hand on her shoulder and she turned around to look at him "Jill admittedly when you stopped talking to me it hurt, a lot, but that doesn't mean I'm going to be angry at you, Jill your important to me I'd never hold a grudge against you" Jack said comfortingly and Jill just dove in hugging him once more and Jack hugged back as they went back to the long hugging ritual. After a while Jack began to realize how heavy she felt and looked at her face only to see that she had fallen asleep so Jack rested her on her bed since they were already sitting on it and he heard her whisper while in her sleep "Thank you Jack" he smiled and put a blanket over her then he just stared at her for a second and his eyes kept flickering towards her lips, he shook his head and was about to walk away but then he looked back at her and walked back to the bed then crouched down and prayed that his curse would stay away for just one second as he lightly pressed his lips against the lips of Jill who was asleep and then backed away to see a smile on her face even though she was asleep and he left the room then closed the door behind him as a huge blush hit his face and he put his hands over his face "why did I do that?" he grumbled.
