Never leave (Jack Maynard X Reader)

-18-

Chapter 18:

I feel one of Jacks hands reach out, opening the door to his car, placing me gently in and buckling me up. He quickly closes the door, running round into the drivers seat. My hand still covering my cheek, tears still finding their way down my cheeks and my knees brought up to my chest. I've gone in full blown panic mode, I haven't had this while I've been here. I'm shaking and uncontrollably sobbing. I feel cold but warm at the same time and I feel like the whole world is spinning at my feet.

"Baby? Are you okay? Your shaking?" Jack question, his hand resting on my thigh, looking over at me with worry written all over his face.

"C-Con" I can barely make words come out of my mouth, the pain is unbearable. Conor knows about my anxiety and panicky moments, he usually knows what to do.

"Conor?" Jack questions, sounding a little confused.

"Y-y"

"Okay, Conor. I'll ring him" I feel Jack's had lift from my thigh, and I hear the quiet rings come from Jacks phone.

"Come on Conor" Jack moans.

I'm still shaking so much and I can't help it. I don't know how to control it, I feel defeated and useless. The pain. I can't describe it. That's what's worrying me, the pain. What if something is really wrong with me? I know it was only a punch but it hurt, badly. To think, Caspar would have got that punch and he would just shake it off. I've been in a few fights before but nothing like this. Never.

"Conor! Finally" Jack half shouts. "It's Y/N. She's gone in full blown panic mode and I don't know what to do" Jack looks at me, nodding his head ferociously when I hear a voice from the other side of the phone.

He drops his phone somewhere in the car, taking his hand into mine, "baby, it's okay, think of something or someone that makes you happy, okay? Someone you love?"

His eyes search mine as I try to think of something. I know any normal person would think of their family or friends but it's not working. I look deep into Jacks eyes, the sparkle that I've always loved is still there, in his deep blue eyes. The smell of his cologne suffocates the air, the smell I love, the smell that keeps me calm. Jack keeps me calm.

"See baby, your okay" Jack smiles, I realise when I was lost in my thoughts I stopped shaking, sweating and the world is still. I am okay. "Does you cheek still hurt?"

I nearly forgot about the whole situation. The pain is still hitting every part of my cheek, I bite my lip to stop more tears coming out. I nod my head, yes.

"Okay, were going to the hospital" I nod my head slightly and lock one of my hand into Jack's as he speeds down the motorway, parking up at the hospital.

We got out of hospital a little while ago, the doctors said that my cheek may bruise a little and they gave me some painkillers to take twice a day for about a week. Jack has been really protective of me since we got out of hospital, making sure that I stay put while he gets me whatever I want. It's really cute, I have to admit.

We came straight to Conor's place because he wanted to see how I was, obviously really panicked about me. He looked so tired and hungover when I got here, so I'm guessing he went out last night. I feel quite bad because if that was me, I'd want to sleep the whole day. Which we did let him do after about 2 hours of chatting. Me and Jack came back to mine and are now on the sofa, my head softly laying on his lap as he plays around with my hair a little.

"So, what made Joe and Caspar get into a fight in the first place?" Jack asked, I'm explaining what happened as I didn't get to fully explain it before.

"Well it was basically my fault. Joe kept staring at me, like he really hated me so I asked him what his problem was and he started saying stuff" I said, trying to avoid what Joe said because I really don't want to go through it again, although I know Jack deserves to know everything.

"What did he say?" Jack asks, trying to keep calm about the situation but I can tell he is really to go and do something he will regret.

"Erm, that I was using people and taking advantage of the fact that they liked me to do it. That I'm a slag. That no one likes me. That I'm ugly. That's your just using me for affection, like everyone else" Honestly, the words Joe was saying did feel like a bullet to the heart. They hurt. Almost as much as the punch itself. I know none of it is true, that he was saying it out of anger but what he was saying must've had some meaning to him if he even thought of saying it. I feel Jack's hand stop playing with my hair as he looks down at me.

"I won't let him get away with it you know?" He smiles lightly. "I'm not using you for affection, that's crap. I really really like you. More than Ive ever liked anyone and it feels like I never left. I want to call you mine again, I want to show affection in public without people questioning us. I want to tell you I love you and it not be weird. I want you to be my girlfriend" Jack looks into my eyes as I lift my head up from his lap.

"I want to be your girlfriend" I smile.

"Well then, Y/N, will you do the honour as to be my girlfriend?"

"Yes! Yes, yes, yes" My smile becomes larger as I leap into his arms, first kissing him lightly on the lips but it eventually turning into a passionate kiss. My hands finding their way behind his neck, holding onto his hair as his hands lay on my back, my legs wrapped around his waist as he picks me up, leading into the bedroom.

Eh. A lil' 'romantic' scene for you there, although it was rubbish. I might start doing them but you guys may not want it or you may find it weird? Let me know what you want!
Anyway, I hope you like the direction this story is going and this will not be the end of the 'Joe situation' ;))
Love you all, J xxx
