I felt his lips press against mine, softly. I rested my arms off his shoulders. It felt like a movie. It was perfect. He, was perfect.
We heard tapping on the glass which made us break the kiss.
It was Corbyn, being a dad.
"AYE! I SAID NO FUNNY BUSNIESS JACK!" Corbyn scolded.
"Sorry dad!" Jack laughed.
I looked down and smiled and then looked back at him.
"Want to go back inside?" Jack asked.
I nodded, I could feel my face burning.
We went back in.
"Alright, go Amora." Zach said, gesturing it was my turn.
"Truth or dare...." I looked around at the boys, "Daniel."
"Noone has none truth yet so I'll do it." Daniel said.
"Hey! Not fair! I wanted to do truth and you guys didn't let me!" I complained.
"But you're happy you got dare thou, huh?" Jonah smirked.
My face went a bright red as I tried to forget what he said.
"I-If you were a girl which guy would you date." I asked Daniel.
"Charlie Puth. Duh." He said.
"I meant of these boys dork!" I said.
"No! I already answered the question!" Daniel said over me.
"Hey!" I hit him over the hesd and he hit me back laughing.
"Ok! Ok! Yo calm down!" Zach pushed his hands out towards us seperating the hitting.
Bzzt bzzt
I looked down at my phone.
The Devil Himself
Im here to pick you up at your house.
Im not there right now
Why?
Because im busy somewhere else
If you are with those boys so help me I will find them and
I'll send my location.
Good.

I stood up, "I need to use your car."
I turned to Jack.
"Wait what why?" Jack got up confused.
"Dont ask. Just, please let me use your car." I begged.
"O-ok but I'm coming with you." He said taking out his keys.
"Jack--"
"No, I'm coming."
He took my hand and we ran to the car.
"Jack, just stay here, it's really quick." I said.
"Is someone trying to hurt you?" Jack asked.
"N-no Jack I--"
"I can see it in your eyes, you're im trouble" Jack said, brushing his thumb against my cheek.
"Jack.." I looked down, "If I don't do thiz. You will get hurt, ok?"
"What? What the hell?" Jack confusingly asked, "H-hurt? What? So someone is hurting you. Talk to me."
"I just need to send a location. I dont want them to know I'm with you guys." I said.
"Is it your dad?" Jack lowered his voice.
"What? No!" I looked up at him, "my dad protects me."
"Then who is it?"
Bzzt bzzt
I pulled out my phone and Jack quickly snatched it from me. I tried to grab it but he quickly tutned away from me.
"Jack! Give it back!" I said reaching over him.
"Amora, what's your password?" He asked strictly.
"Jack, I'm not giving you my password--"
"What is it?" He asked again more strict looking directly into my eyes. As if he was begging, but being dominant.
"Th-three, five, seven, zero.." I respomded softly.
He typed it in and started typing.
"Jack you dont understand, it's not--"
"Is he an ex?" Jack asked looking bacj at me.
I nodded.
"He's very demanding." He scrolled through texts.
"Jack, you don't understand what he will do if he finds out that I'm with you guys."
He went to my contacts and blocked him, "There."
"Jack!" I took my phone back, "Y-you don't understand!"
I felt tears start to form, "when I broke up with him he came after my dad. And he beat me. We couldn't win any trials to press charges. He'll come after you guys."
Jack took my wrist and jerked me against his chest, "I won't let anything happen to you, or your father."
"But you guys..he's not a guy who reasons especially if--"
"Amora, nothing will happen, ok?" Jack held me by my shoulders, "If you still want to go out and get some fresh air or something."
I wrapped my hands around his waist and hugged him, "Please." I whispered into his ear.
He rubbed my back and smiled, without teeth, "Ok, there's a really pretty park nearby we can go there?"
I nodded.
We got in the car and drove off.
As we got to the park it was an open feild with green grass, and big trees, and a playground and a little pond. It was so beautiful.
I pulled Jack out of the car and ran to the tallest tree, that I could see, in the park and started to climb it.
As I started to get higher I pulled him up, and if I was having trouble, he pulled me up. We were like mangets. Its like nothing could seperate us in that tree. If i slipped a little he would do whatever it took to get me back up.
We got to the top and sat in the crease of two branches. I sat in his lap and layed the back of my head on his shoulder, and faced his face.
He wrapped his arm around me as the other one kept us steady.
I closed my eyes and we just relaxed.
He layed his head on my head.
Bzzt bzzt
I felt his phone buzz from his jeans.
"Hold on, " Jack pulled his phone out of his pocket, "Zach texted me."
"What does it say?" I asked, lifting my head off his shoulder.
"He wants me to call him." Jack said dialing his number.
"Hey, Zach whats going on?" Jack asked into the phone.
"Yo theres a guy outside our house, we called security to come get him but, he is acting really strange.." Zach said.
There was a little bit if silence before I saw in Jack's eyes he was trying to be calm for me to stay calm.
"I think it's for Amora." Zach said low into the phone.
I felt my heart drop. Ringing in my ears.
"It's Paul." I said in fear.
