How did I fall for him? (Jaegan Fanfic)

Chapter 21 🏩

Justin's pov:

"Raegan? Baby?" I say loud enough so he can hear me.

I hear slight sobbing coming from one of the stalls, the biggest one. The one for handicap people. I go up to it and knock.

"Rae let me in please." I say. He doesn't answer.

"Don't make me climb under the stall."

I hear the lock turn and then the door opens slightly. I put my arm in between and door and the wall and open it more. I walk in the stall and Raegan backs up. He has tear stains on his face, it's also really red.

"What's wrong love?" I ask.

"I-i hated seeing that. I feel terrible." He says choking on his tears.

"Oh don't worry baby. I chose to stay with you, I don't want to leave you." I tell him.

"I know but, I took you in the first place. Your friend, he looked so upset. That broke my heart because I know he wants you back so bad. I also know a small part of you wanted to go with him too." He explains.

"What do you mean?" I ask confused.

"I know you thought about your family, your friends. Everyone at the moment. You hesitated. That means nothing, But I know you wanted to go with him. I would have let you too." He says.

"Raegan-"

"You thought about leaving me, and I don't blame you. I would have thought about that too if I were you. But at this point I love you so much that I would have let you go." I can see the hurt in his eyes and how much he's holding back his tears.

"Babe please, I'm happy with you. You would let me leave, that makes me feel even more safe with you. I told Damon, I will be home someday. But I'm not going home without you. I'll never you alone Rae. I love you too." I tell him. He smiles a little and nods.

"Can we go home? I'm not hungry anymore."

"Uh sure. Let's go." I say grabbing his hand and bringing us out of the bathroom.

We grab our bags of clothes and start walking to the exit of the mall. We get there and go out to his car. We put the bags in the backseat and get in. He starts the car and just starts driving without any words. He still seems upset. He was right, I was thinking about my family, friends, and just my old life in general. But I didn't even consider leaving him so fast. No way. I could never do that to him, or me.

I close my eyes and lean my head against the head rest. I'm short so my head is not on the whole rest, but it's still comfortable. I want to say something to him. I feel bad. But I should just leave him alone for the ride.

•1 hour later•

I've just been staring out the window the whole ride. We are on the dirt road that leads to his house right now. 

We stop and he parks the car. We sit in silence as I play with my thumbs. I see in the corner of my eye, him looking at me. I look at him and smile.

"Today was fun. Thank you " I tell  him. He just nods with no emotion.

He opens his door and gets out. What's wrong with him? I do the same and we go inside.

"Rae?" He walks out of the room, going up the stairs. I stand here, conflicted.

"How was it?" I hear. I turn around and see Max.

"Umm....fine." I tell him.

"He seems upset." He says jerking his towards the stairs signaling he's talking about Rargan.

I sigh and sit down at the table. "He is." I say.

"Why?"

"Long story." I tell him. He starts to look around like he's thinking. He looks back at me and moves closer to me.

"I-i should go talk to Raegan." I say awkwardly trying to get out of this situation. He's making me uncomfortable, how close he is to me.

I get off the chair and try to maneuver my way around him but he grabs my arm. He gets a good grip on it and pulls me against him. I look at him with a scared expression.

"What are you doing Max?" I ask. He ignores me.

"Stop!" I say trying to back up. He won't let me go.

Max brings his face very close to mine. I can feel his warm breathe. He's looking at me with such soft eyes.  His face gets closer to mine by the second.

I then see him back away from me. But it wasn't him who did it by myself. It's Dean, he pulled him back.

"Dude whay are you doing?" Dean asks max. He doesn't answer.

"You alright Jay?" He asks me. Max looks at me and smirks.

I don't answer and run past them, going up the stairs. I run straight to Raegan's room and knock on his door. 

"Raegan?" I yell. My eyes fill with water as I hit his door repeatedly.

It finally opens and I run inside, shoving Raegan back so I can get in. I shut the door as fast as I can and start to cry.

"Baby what happened?" Rae asks hugging me. I cry in his chest.

"Justin?" He asks. I pull away from him and sit on his bed.

"I-it's Max." I say.

"What did he do?" He asks.

"He tried to make a move on me." I tell him.

"What the fuck is wrong with him?" He raises his voice. "I'm going to fucking kill him." He says.

"No wait." I calm down a little and stand up again. He looks at me.

"What's your problem? You've been acting weird ever since we left the mall. When we got home, you totally ignored me and just went upstairs. This whole talk you have about protecting me, but you failed. Why?" I ask.

"I'm so sorry babe. I just can't get that image out of my head of you and your friend. I care about you so much I want you to be happy. I'm sorry, you know I love you."

"But I am happy Raegan. I'm happy with you. I'm glad I got to see Damon, but I didn't for second think of just leaving you right then and there, I promise. I love you way to much to do that to us." I tell him. He smiles.

"Ok. I think I just need some sleep, I'll be okay tomorrow." He says.

"Can I sleep with you?(Lmao not like that) I don't feel safe." I ask.

"Of course."

I lay down and he lays next to me. We lay so we are facing each other. I smile at him. He moves closer and kisses me. I blush and hide my face in his chest. He lifts my head up and looks into my eyes.

"Promise me something?" He asks.

"Whatever it is, I promise." I say. He makes a embarressed cute face.

"Don't ever leave me. I can't live without you. I love you more than anything else, even myself."

"Again, I promise." I tell him.
