A STEP FURTHER

Episode 17

    Jack came close to me. He stared into my eyes, then picked up a cup and poured some alcohol into it. He chugged it down.
We walked out of the kitchen and into the living room. Zach, Corbyn, and Jonah went off into the gaming room, while Daniel hurried off into the smelly room full of hippies to play music.
That leaves Jack, Y/BFF/N and I. Y/bff/n looked over at us, "I'm just going to go pour myself a drink. Don't wait on me." She winked and walked away.
We walk over to a couch that was close to us. As we sat, I kept filling myself with more and more alcohol. I was starting to feel buzzed. I looked over at Jack, he was gazing at me. I smiled, "what?"
      "Y/N." He said with a strong, raspy voice. He picked up his hand and slowly moved it towards my face, grabbing my jawline, pulling me in for another sweet kiss.

ZACHS POV

     I need a fucking drink. I walked out of the gaming room, passing Y/N and Jack, on the couch TOGETHER. Y/N was sitting on his lap, thighs spread apart across his, and they were having a full make out sesh.
    Seeing that made me realize, well one, how lonely I am, but two how I thought Y/N was actually really hot.

End.

     Tonight. Tonight could be the night. I mean, shouldn't we just get it over with. IM FUCKING 18. OUT OF FUCKING HIGH SCHOOL, wanna tell me why the fuck not?
     I mean, I was going to wait til marriage, but... I got nothing, imma just do it.
   

JACK'S POV

     She pulled away, once again. "I'm ready."
     "Right here?" I said with a slight chuckle beneath my bare breath. She leaned in again and we continued. It's not like I didn't want her, but shes buz- she's had one cup it's fine. But, the problem is she "experienced." I don't want her first time to be at a stupid party. A large, scary woman came close to us. "Get a fucking room!" She said as she records us on snapchat.
 
END.

      I stopped and laid my head on his chest as I giggled myself away. I got off of him and we sat there in silence for a moment. "I really like you." Those words jumped from his mouth, crashing the silence.
     "I like you too." I said, grabbing his hand. He squeezed it. "Room."
     "What?"
     "We need to get a ROOM."
     "OHHH, I thoug-" I cut him off.
     "Let's go." We rushed upstairs.

DANIELS POV
    I was in the middle of playing guitar, when Jack and Y/N appeared. I took a good look. Y/N held his hand as she pulled him up the stairs. "Where are they g0-" I thought, "ZACH WAS RIGHT!" I put my guitar down and went to go find him.

END

    We found a empty room, nice bed, and clean floors. He sat on the bed, I went back to my original position, kissing him. I felt safe. SHIT PROTECTION. I brushed that off for a second. He slowly moved his hands away from my face and down my waist, to the bottom of my thin shirt. He slipped it off of me and turned me around. He pushed me onto the bed and started kiss trails down my neck. Now he was at my stomach. This felt right. He looked up at me. "Hey, you have done this before right." SHIT. He's too sweet to want my first time to be at a party. "Y-N- stop talking." The door behind him flew open. "FUCK! ZACH, privacy!"
     "OH SHIT SORRY I DIDN'T THINK YALL WOULD BE ALREADY- sorry."
     Jack crawled over me, covering my exposed skin.
     "GET THE FUCK OUT."
     "Good idea." Daniel says with hands over his eyes. Zach stands there in shock. Daniel blindly punched this left arm."
     "Dude lets go." Daniel pushed him out and shut the door. Jack crawled off of me and handed me my shirt.
    "Here babe."
     "Thanks.." I said shyly.
     We both get properly situated and sat in silence. The moment sadly broken.
"We should go back downstairs." I said.
He nodded and grabbed my hand and led me out the door and down the stairs, but before we got down there I let go of his hand, causing him to give me a knowing sad smile, because I felt a little embarrassed.
     Once we approached the bottom of the staircase, Zach and Daniel appeared on the left of us. Jack looked at me, and grabbed both of my hands, "Can you give us a sec."
     "Uh, yeah." I walked away, still looking at Jack. He turned towards the boys with a very angry expression on his face.
ZACHS POV
     What am I supposed to say? I did it on purpose, But I will only admit that to myself.
Jack got much closer.
     "What?The?Fuck?Zach?"
     "I-I-I I'm so sorry."
     "You know what Zach?"
     "Wh-" he cut me off.
     "Your just too fucking much. She was so close to being MINE. And you fucking ruined that. You made her feel exposed. That's FUCKED up. Do you even get that? What's your fucking problem?"
     "I honestly don't know." That's a lie. "I didn't want her to feel that way." That's the truth.
     "That's almost like making her feel like a sexual object. Like I'm just a stupid guy, with STUPID FUCKING FRIENDS, trying to get in her pants."
    "Jack, I think-" Daniel attempted to interrupt.
    "I don't care what you think Daniel." His voice calmed down. "Just leave me alone."
    "Fuck, Jack." I whispered as i went to grab his shoulder and pull him back. Jack harshly pushed me away. "FUCK. OFF."
END

JACKS POV

     As I stomped away, I bumped into Corbyn, coming around the corner. "Woah, what is wr- are you okay?"
     "Do I look okay?" Jack said looking back up at him. We went onto the empty porch outside where I would explain everything.
A FEW MOMENTS LATER...
     "Well, why are so upset?"
     "Because I." I looked at him and he looked extremely concerned.
     "Dude say it."
     "I- I think I'm falling for her." The door behind us opened, it was Y/N.
END
     I heard him, he has a secret, but I guess we all do.
