Never Good Enough-Taylor Caniff/JackG fanfic

Chapter 5

SOOO sorry that I didn't update :( but here's chapter 5! ;)

Kayla's POV

After I left the park, it was about 9:30.

I skated home going kinda fast until I tripped on the sidewalk edge.

I fell, scraping my knee.

"Oh my god are you ok??" I heard someone yell from in front of me

"Uh yeah I just-" my voice trailed up as I looked up. I realized it was jack.

"Hey uh what are you doing out?"

"Just going for a walk..., how about you?"

"I actually met Taylor in the park, about earlier today."

"Ahh I see, well my house is actually right here, you can come inside to clean off your knee and get a bandaid"

"Sure! Thanks!"

As I walked inside his house, only 3 doors down from where I fell, I understood why he was outside late at night.

He had two little brothers screaming and throwing pillows at eachother

And a sister, about a year younger than the boys, yelling at them to stop.

His dad was in the living room, watching a football game on tv. The volume was up really high, probably to try ignore the other noise.

I didn't see his mom around.

"Wow nice place you've got here" I said

I wasn't lying, aside from the pillows everywhere and Cheerios spilled in the kitchen, he had a really nice house.

"Thanks, and sorry about my siblings, they get out of hand easily." He said back

"Here just wait here."

He showed me a chair in the kitchen and he went to go get the band aids

"This may sting a little," he said, putting peroxide on a cotton pad.

"I'm kinda an expert at this, with my little brothers and sister always getting hurt" he said

"Ow ow" I said quietly as he dabbed my scrape

He rubbed my arm, to comfort me.

I kinda just looked at him, but it didn't bother me I guess

"There we go, all good!" He said, putting a bandaid on

"So uh- is your house always like this?,

I'm sorry that was really rude and I-"

"No no you're fine, and yeah lately. My mom died unexpectedly a few months ago. My dad kinda stopped caring about us kids and focused on work and well, that TV."

"OMG I'm so sorry I didn't mean to-"

"No no you're fine... I don't really get to open up to people"

I feel really bad for Jack now....

I didn't know all this about him.

I guess never judge a book by it's cover??

Jack's POV

As soon as I saw Kayla fall I knew I had to help. It was my chance to make my move.

I brought her back to my house only a few doors down from where she fell.

I was utterly embarrassed when I walked in the door.

My siblings going crazy, and my workaholic/ football fanatic father staring at the TV screen.

My house was a complete mess.

She started asking questions and before I knew it, I accidentally opened up to her.

I try not to tell people about my mom.

When I first told some of my closest friends, they started saying I was just looking for sympathy.

First off that's not true but let them think what they want.

Anyway before I knew it, she had her knee all cleaned up and I forgot to ask her out (whoops!)

Well there's always tomorrow, right?
