How did I fall for him? (Jaegan Fanfic)

Chapter 8 😕

Justin's pov:

I woke up the next morning to the sound of what sounded like slight crying. I got out of bed and rubbed my eyes. Yes rhat was definitly crying. I got out of my room and followed it. It lead right to Raegan's room? I knock and the crying seems to slowly start to stop.

"Rae its Justin can I come in?" I ask. He doesn't answer.

I open the door, surprised it's unlocked, and walked in. Raegan was on his bed, crying his eyes out. I closed the door and went over getting next to him.

"Hey hey what's wrong Rae?" I ask I lift his chin with my finger and look into his eyes.

"I-i-" He just kept crying. He couldn't then tell me.

"Please tell me." I say to him.

"M-my dad-" he stops. There was a knock at the door. I went to it and opened it. Eddie pulled me out of the rooom.

"His dad commuted suicide last night." He said.

"What? Why?" I ask. He shrugs.

"Thanks for telling me." I go back into his room and close the door again. I get on his bed again and get closer. Basically on top of him.

"I'm so sorry Rae." He looks at me and shakily opens his arms a little. I get on his lap and hug him. He cries into my shoulder, leaving my shirt soaked. I didn't care.

"I-i can't think of why he would do that. I loved my dad so much Justin." He told me.

"And I'm sure he loved you." I said.

He pulled away and looked at me. He sniffed his nose. I moved his hair from his forehead.

"I miss him." He told me.

"I know." I said and put his head on my chest. I played with his hair he just held me in his lap. He calmed down and we just stayed there.

"You're very comforting." He tells me.

"Thanks." I giggle a little.

"Why are you so nice to me?" He asks.

"I don't know." I say.

"But...how could you possibly-"

"You want to know why?" I ask cutting him off.

He pulls away from my chest and nods.

"Because, from the time I've been here, I've realized you're a really good person. Yes you kill people, but that's not my business. Inside you have a good heart Raegan. You deserve a little comfort and love. So you got me. It doesn't seem like you would hug your other friends like you hug me. You can come to me anytime." I tell him.

"Wow. Who knew you would actually talk to me like that. Thank you I really appreciate it." He says.

I kiss his forehead and run my fingers through his hair.

"Are you still tired?" I ask.

"No I'm okay." He says.

"Ok. Let's go downstairs."

We get up and go downstairs. We see his friends watching tv.

"Look at the two love birds." John says.

"Shut up." Rae says.

"We saw you two hugging."

"So? I was talking to him." I shrug.

They all smirk and I look at Rae. He rolls his eyes and walks out. I follow him to the kitchen. He goes to the counter and leans on it.

"You okay?" I ask.

"Yea. Just thinking about some stuff." He told me.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Not really no."

"Ok. That's fine." 

He looks at me like he wants to say something. He just can't it get out.

"Come upstairs with me." He tells me. I nod.

We go up to his room and he shuts the door. I sit on his bed and he goes over to his closet and opens it. He reaches on the too shelf and pulls a little box down. He shuts his closet door and comes over to me.

"What's that?" I ask.

He opens the box carefully and stares what's inside. I'm sitting down, I can't see it. He slowly pulls out a long chain, and at the bottom, a little locket. He drops the box and stares at the necklace. He looks like he's about to burst into tears.

I stand up and look at the necklace. Wow it's so pretty. Where did he get it?

"Where did you get this?"

He looks from the necklace to me and doesn't say anything. He takes the whole necklace in his hand and his eyes fill with tears.

He takes his arm in the air and throws the necklace against the wall. It making a sound like the little glass locket shattered.

"Rae why would you do that?" I ask going over to it. The now broken glass locket has a little picture inside.

I be careful of the glass and take the picture. The chain is okay so I pic that up too. The picture has a little boy in it with a grown man next tho him. The little boy looks like Raegan. And the grown man, his dad?

I look back at him and he's sitting on his bed staring at the floor. He's crying, I can see the tears soaking the ground. He's just trying to stay quiet. I walk over to him with the chain and picture in my hand. I sit next to him and give him the picture. He doesn't take it.

"You don't want this picture? To remember your dad?" I ask.

"No." He chokes over his tears.

"Why?"

He takes it and turns it around. He gives it back to me and it has words on the back.

"I will always love you, and I will never leave you. I promise. -Dad

I look back at him once I read it. So that's why. He broke his promises.

"Oh Rae, I-"

"You don't understand Justin." He cuts me off.

"What?"

"My dad abandoned me here when I was 15. He became a drug addict and hurt my mother. Then he brought me here and drove away. I never left this place. Then my friends found me. And they got me into this whole criminal thing. My dad wrote that when I was eight. He broke his promise and he broke my whole family." He starts to cry again.

Oh my god! This boy is not a criminal. I mean, he is. But it's not who he really is.

"Raegan-"

"No it's okay. Don't say anything. You can keep the chain if you want. Just- just get rid of that picture." He tells me.

He gets up and walks out of his room. I look at the picture one more time and I let a tear slide down my cheek. Now more than one. I feel so bad. He had such a bad early teenage hood. Inside he's just a man who never really wants to hurt anyone. He feels like he needs to.

I put the chain in my pocket. I also take the picture, fold it up a little, and stuff it in my pocket. I'm not getting rid of it.

Woah woah woah. Deep? Damn 😂😂 TeA. Hope you liked this chapter. It bouta start getting interesting😉😊
