Between These Lines (JacksGap)

{ chapter 28 }

Finn's POV

I didn't hesitate to punch Jack straight ahead. I know Jade, and for the fact that she is kind, she will never do that. She won't do that with Jack at her state.

Jack fell on the floor, obviously surprised by my action. But it didn't take time for him to take his shot. She fists me right up my stomach, making me hurl.

"Fuck you Jack," I shout, as loud as I can. "Jade will never do that, not with you. You're a player, as if you would take her seriously."

A smirk appeared on his lips, making my blood boil. "Finn, Finn, Finn. After what you've done to her? Friendzoning her? You think that's not enough for her to become desperate for love? Well guess what? She already is."

"You don't love her, do you? Or do you love her too much that you're losing your mind." And with that, out parents barged in.

"Finn, Jack. Stop this shit right now!"

And that's how i managed to go back to my room

I was driving down the streets, on my way to Shayne's house. After knowing what Jack did and by managing to force myself to not give up, here I am.

Sometimes I try to think to myself, why did all of this happen in the first place? But then it hits me hard, I'm the answer to my own question.

 I still didn't get the reason to why Im still in love with this girl. But still, you can never question love right?

As I parked infront of the house, I started to think what I'll say to Jade. Should I be cheesy or should I get emotional. It's not easy for me to get emotional but if thta's what Jade wants, then be it.

I knocked on the door and it only took a minute until it was opened by Shayne. I tug my hands in my sweater pockets and greeted Shay.

"Hey..." I shyly greet her while managing to give her a small smile.

"Ugh Finn...? Okay... What's up?" She asks while she gestured me to come in.

"I'm pretty sure Jade's here... Could I talk to her?" I ask as I made my way to the couch. Luckily her parent aren't here.

"Don't ask me that, ask that to her." 

"Well can you just ask her then?"

"Sure, no problem. Just give me a sec." She stands up from the couch and hurried up the stairs.

Jade's POV

I was sitting on Shay's bed when the door bursted open. It was Shay, her facial expression was worried. Kinda made me feel scared.

"Uhm Shay...?" I asked her.

"Finn..." She whispered. "He's downstairs, he wanted to talk to you..."

"What?! Why'd ya let him in?" I started to panick, how am I supposed to face him now. Now that his face reminded me of him.

"Jade, the dude wants to talk to you. Im not bad enought to leave him outside where it's cold." She sits besides me as she talked.

"I... I cant." My tears started to spill as the thought of what happened lately flashes back. I've been staying with Shay the past week, because she insisted.

"Jay, Jay look at me. You can do this, Finn is harmless. As much as I know, he's a great guy. He's smart, he's a gentleman, he's funny, but you know what made you love him?" Shay gives me a heart warming smile before pausing.

I looked up to her, "What?" I ask

"You loved him because he's Finn. You never really did love Jack, did you? You just felt lonely that time. I know I was too busy with Caspar that time. Im sorry..."

"That's fine." I smiled at her while I wiped away the tears. "You really think so?"

"Yeah. Now go get things settled with him, I'll jus be by the stairs okay?" She smiled back and pulled me in a hug.

I walked down and saw Finn sitting on the couch, fidgeting with his fingers.

"Hey..." I greeted him. I tried to avoid eye contact to prevent myself from crying.

"Hey Jade. Look I need to tell you something..." H elooks so nervous, probably as nervouse as I was.

"What?" I ask as I join him on the couch, still avoiding eye contact.

He kissed me. He kissed me unexpectedly, though I can't resist kissing back. That sudden move sent shivers to my spine, making me even nervous.

He pulled back and he now looks relaxed. "Now that that kiss made me less nervous, I guess it's time to tell you..."

He got down on one knee, and my heart started to beat fast. Is he proposing in some way?

"I love you Jade, with every bits of my body. I have managed to not see you for a week, but I cant take it anymore. I can't help myself but go here and tell you that I love you. That I need you. And I hope my journey here is worth when you say yes to my question.

Jade Thompson, will you be my girlfriend?"

I fell on my knees, remembering what Jack asked me that night when we were together. I never had the chance to answer his question. Just by that, my eyes landed on Finn. And it reminded me a lot of Jack.

My eyes started to water as I busted out the tears.

"No Finn, you dont love me. You're just pity enough to make yourself hink that you actually love me. You just feel pity dont you? In fact, you're just wasting you time. You're wasting your time on an ugly, stupid and suicidal girl that cuts her fucking wrists.

You're just wasting your time Finn. Stop wasting it on me. Stop making me thing that you actually love, because for I second I believed that.

Jack almost raped me, isn't that enough Finn? Isn't that enough?! Well guess what, do all that you want, but-"

"J-Jack did what... He... He did that to you." It slipped out of me, shit. "He told me- He told me you guys almost did the thing. He was drunk. He did that to you Jade? Did he?"

I fell silent, avoiding eye contact. I shouldn't have stayed here. I shouldn't have met them. I should've died. I should've been left alone.

"Tell me!" Finn shouts, he was furious. I just covered my eyes with hands and kneeled on the floor. My body is too weak. My scars on the wrists are already showing, but good thing he didnt notice them. "Tell me, Jade! Did he?!"

"He did... He did that, last week after I went home from your Uni room. I thought he was only drunk, i didn't know he would do that... I-I..." I was sobbing on the floor, but Finn picked me up and hugged me. I hugged back, like my life depends on him, and it really did.

"Im so so sorry I've put you through a lot of shit. I didnt mean to. Im sorry Jade. Dont ever cut again, dont be like..."

{a/n} Im so so sorry for the long wait. Im just so lazy. I cant help myself. But I do have a new JacksGap story that will surely make you laugh and cry. It's called How To Be Cool. As you can see, it's Finn on he cover I made.
