THANKS FOR 1K READS !!! <3

chapter 14: j + m

irl

mel waited anxiously in the lobby of her hotel waiting for jack. she played with her hair and bit her cuticles. (same tho) she didn't wanna be on her phone when he showed up so she left it in her room. which was a big mistake.

you see: anxiety can easily be distracted for mel. if she bites the inside of her lip too much to the point it starts bleeding, she knows she needs to pull out her phone or take some deep breaths to calm her thought. she used to but her cheek until it bled or pick at the back of her hand, leaving scars that she now has to see everyday. it wasn't self harm, it was occupation.

once she say the spinning doors from the corner of her eye, she scrambled to her feet, flattening the non-existent wrinkles on her yellow plaid pants and black cropped shirt.

mel (besides the people behind the desk) was the only person in the lobby (thank god) so the two for once didn't have to worry about any negative publicity from fans and critics.

jack speedily walked to mel and wrapped his arms around her waist. she smiled on his shoulder and wrapped her arms around him too. he was wearing a white shirt and black pants (greyhound music video*wink*) not to mention he smelled really good. mel was impressed.

"i'm sorry." mel whispered into jacks ear (hey how u doing lil mama lemme whisper in your ear).

(i hate myself bye).

"please don't apologize, i shouldn't have ignored you." he pulled away. "it's just fans trying to hurt us."

us. mel thought. she liked that.

mel led jack towards the elevator, going up six floors, they exited and walked to mel's room.

when they got to her suite, mel led jack into the bedroom. (lmfao) and they both sat down, jack on the end and mel up against the head board hugging a white pillow.

"i wanna tell you something." the two say in unison.

"you first." jack says.

"no you first."

"lady's first."

"uno reverse card."

"okay fine." mel smiles in victory. "uh okay so i-i uh," he clears his throat. "i like you. a lot." he smiles. "like, like, like more than a friends type of like you know?"

"i do know," she smiles. "i, uh really like you too."

"oh wow." they both chuckle nervously. jack awkwardly scoots next to mel, close.

they were practically hip to hip when jack looks over to her. she turns her head with an anxious look. "uh
hey, so if you're cool. maybe we could go out on a date or something?"

"or something?" mel laughs.

"this friday. you and me. bowling. movie. curly fries." he smiles. "and i'll bring oscar."

"i'll only go if oscar goes." mel smiles wide.

jack laughs. "yeah i'll bring oscar."

mel smiles even wider at the blonde boy next to her. "uh, so i rented a movie, do you wanna stay and watch with me?"

jack nodded frantically. she laughed at his eagerness to stay with her.

she reached to the side and grabbed the remote, finding the rented movie. The Conjuring and The Conjuring 2. jacks eyes widened at the movie choices.

"y-you like scary movies?" his voice cracked.

"i love scary movies." she chuckles.

"okay." he looks away nervously.

"don't worry, jack, i can protect you." she scoots a bit closer to the boy. jacks cheek heat up at the close vicinity of the two.
