Helpless - Handsome Jack × Reader × Rhys

Part 4

*Em POV*

Throbbing. Pounding. Aching. Everything my head is doing right now. I woke up with a massive headache, enough to make a woman cry. Which it did, although I can't tell if it was just because of the headache or the realization from yesterday.
Handsome Jack is in my head. And most likely will be until I die. Even then, he'll still be. I have got to find away to get rid of both these boys, I want to just call the guards on Rhys right now, but something in me is telling me not to. I want both of them gone but just the thought of it is making me sick. What's wrong with me? It's not like I'm enjoying either of their company. That's it, today is going to be about getting rid of Handsome Jack.

"Is he here?" I suddenly heard Rhys whisper.

"Jack? No, not yet." I whispered back, for no reason.

He chuckled, "Good."

He walked from the bed to the stool I was sitting at and wrapped his arms around my waist, from behind me.

My immediate thought was the shrug him off, i don't want him touching me. But when he layed his head on my shoulder, and the warmth of his body melted into mine, I just couldn't.

I wanted him to go away, I wanted to get to work. I was angry at him for distracting me. But I just couldn't push him away. I wanted him closer to me and I didn't know why.

We stayed like that for a moment, breathing deeply, basking in each others warmth. I had no idea what was happening. I didn't know this guy and I had no reason to trust him but for some reason, I did. I felt so comfortable around him...and Jack. Suddenly like when both were there, I could fully breathe. I know I'm going crazy but I can't stop it. Since yesterday morning, something has happened. I don't know where this sudden bond came from but I could tell that Rhys was just as confused as I was.

We stayed like that for a bit, and while usually I would think it was really awkward, it wasn't. I felt like I could do this all day.

He very, very slowly tightened his grip on me, like he could finally relax with it, when suddenly I hear,

"Oh god! Fuck! Seriously?"

I gasped, hitting my head against Rhys' and him leaning back in pain.

"Can you stop coming at the worst times!" I yelled, completely frustrated.

I looked back up to see both Rhys and Jack blankly staring at me. I looked away awkwardly, hoping that they caught the hint. As I looked back up, they were still both staring. Except for Rhys looked confused and Jack looked angry.

"God I hate you guys. You guys came in and ruined everything good I had going and both of you keep ruining everything for me! Ugh!" I yelled in sudden frustration.
I stood up, walking away from both boys. Both had snapped out of their strange trance due to my outburst. But they still had the same facial expressions, except I could tell it was because of what I just did, now.

"Oh my god! I can't believe he picked you to be my host! You're so fucking aggravating!" Jack yelled back. I had an obvious reaction of intimidated so Rhys knew that Jack was yelling at me back.

"Yeah well I don't even fucking know what I'm doing here either." Rhys mumbled and put on his shirt. Silently standing up and walking towards the door.

"Rhys, no, wait."

But he still left, slammed the door before I could even finish speaking. It hurt. I don't know why it hurts, but it hurt.
I turned back towards Jack,

"Ugh! See what you did!" I yelled at Jack, feeling better knowing that he can't leave.

"Are you fucking serious? God you know what? I guess I was fucking going crazy, because you are one of the most annoying women I have ever met! I hate you too!"
