Jack was unlike anyone you'd ever met.
He was quiet.
But had a way of being the light of any room he entered.
He didn't have to say a word to make you smile or laugh, even cry.
But when he did it made him even better.
When he let you into his heart it was different from other people.
The way he thought and felt.
It made you wonder why he was so insecure. He was so beautiful, inside and undoubtedly outside.
His hair he started growing out after you met him was now curly brown locks. The way his eyes shined when he smiled made it impossible not to fall in love with him, which you did.
You fell in love with him so hard. You promised yourself you wouldn't fall in love with anyone that hard but it was no longer your choice.
You loved the way his mouth moved and the sound of his voice. You loved the way he looked at you, even when you didn't realize.
But most of all you loved the way he loved you.
So recklessly and effortlessly. He loved you just as much as you loved him. It took him longer to fall in love with you but he did.
You knew the exact moment too.
The moment you made him yours.

It was a simple day. Not one particular special or different from any other.
You and Jack were laying in bed, you literally had gotten up once to get food and go to the bathroom and it was nearly 4 in the afternoon.
You both loved days like this, no pressure to do anything or be anywhere.
Just laying with your boyfriend in bed watching television but mostly talking.
He was telling about his childhood while you distracted him by playing with his fingertips. You could feel him watching you while you studied his long slender fingers.
When Jack finally noticed you and took the time to talk to you, it was obvious he was intrigued by you. Though he made it clear he didn't want a relationship at the moment within a couple weeks he couldn't stay away from you.
Now here you two were, having such a closed off boy share his most vulnerable stories. He stops talking, too preoccupied by you laying with him.
You stop fiddling with the tips of his fingers and just interlock your boney fingers with his. You notice the absence of his voice and glance up at him. His hair is fanned out over his forehead.
His eyes are pouring into yours so intensely you are drawn to him. You smile at him, knowing that look on his face.
There is no way explain it but pure love. You pushed his hair out of his eyes with your free hand and he leans down to kiss you.
"You're my best friend." He says quietly after you two pull apart.
They aren't the words you expected him to say but it almost meant more.
That night has been imprinted in your brain ever since. Though it was months ago, you remember it like yesterday.
And it was days like this where you wish you could go back to that exact moment.
"What are we doing for dinner tonight?" He asks, climbing into the passenger seat of the car.
You liked driving, which worked out because Jack will never admit it but driving makes him kinda nervous.
He slides his dark sunglasses off his face, giving you a look at his beautiful eyes you love so much.
"Oh, I was actually going to tell you I was planning on getting pizza with Marcus." You back out of the parking spot.
You could feel Jack's harsh gaze just as you expected.
Marcus was an old friend from high school. You two had kept contact and he has been wanting to meet up.
You have been putting it off because you were honestly afraid of how Jack would react. Jack wasn't overly jealous, but if a guy looked at you for too long in public he would make sure to show him you were together.
You were okay with it because you loved Jack and wanted to make him feel secure in your relationship.
"Well. Okay..." He says shortly before looking out his window.
You were surprised that was all the fight he put up.
"Okay." You say clicking on the radio.
Jack scoffs and harshly turns it back off.
You knew you were getting away too easy.
"Marcus? Is he the guy from your high school?" He spits.
You wanted to smile from the difference in your language. Sometimes it like you two spoke different languages but you had been around him so much you understood.
"Yes. He has been wanting to hang out for a while. I've put him off as long as I can without being disrespectful." You say simply.
You look over in Jack's direction, glancing back at the road every couple seconds.
His eyebrows are tightly knit together and his brown eyes are almost black like they always are when he gets angry.
"Why? So he can make a move on you? Does he know you have a boyfriend? You graduated school like three years ago. Have you been talking to him the whole time we've been together?" He shoots question after question at you.
"What a dick." You hear him mutter under his breath.
You can see him clenching and unclenching his jaw over and over again.
"I... we were really good friends in high school. He found my Facebook and messaged me. Why is this any different than if a old girlfriend wanted to hang out with me?" You question him right back.
You don't like him accusing you of anything. It actually hurt you more than you like to admit, almost like he doesn't trust you.
You have never done anything to make him think that way.
"Because I don't know what his intentions are. What if he tries to make a move on you?" You looks out his window again.
You glare at him this time. "Then I shut him down and leave. I have my own personal boundaries. Do you really think I would let him do something like that?" You raised your voice.
You stop at a stop light which gives you a moment to look at him. He finally looks in your eyes and you raise your eyebrows.
He shakes his head, biting his bottom lip deep in thought.
"I just don't like the idea of you hanging out with him alone." He says continuing to shake his head
"When did I ever say we were hanging out alone?" You say getting a little frustrated. "We will be with a group of other people we went to highschool with. Plus even if we weren't we would be in a PUBLIC place." You say in hopes of making him feel better.
You almost want to invite him just to ease his mind but this whole thing has kinda pissed you off. You shouldn't have to go everywhere with him. You love spending time with him and at the end of the day with him is where You want to be but you are two different people. Though you two are in a relationship you both need to be able to have your own lives.
That's called a healthy relationship. Your hopes of easing his mind fails when his glare intensifies and he looks ever more angry. You can practically hear his breathing quicken and he stares into your soul.
A honk behind you breaks you from his lock he has on your eyes. You realize the light is now green and you step on the gas pedal.
"Well why didn't you fucking tell me that in the first place." He is now yelling. "Is it- is it because he was the only person you can think about and- and the only person you look forward to seeing?" He is so mad he can barely speak which ends up making him more mad.
"No-" he doesn't give you a chance to finish.
"You know what. Go. I don't give a shit anymore. Fuck who you want. See who you want. Get pizza with who you want." He slams his hand on the dash making you jump.
What is he saying.
"Jack-" You say softly, trying to reason with him.
He wasn't having it. He now keeps his gaze out the window, shutting down the conversation.
You wouldn't be that happy if he wanted to hang out with a girl he went to school with but you wouldn't act this way. He was being unreasonable and almost scaring you, which he has never done before.
"Fine then I won't fucking go. If it's that big of a deal to you." You look at him.

He shakes his head, still looking out the window. Refusing to look at you.
"No I just said I don't give a shit." He says. His voice is still very angry but he isn't yelling anymore.
From what you can see of his face it is very red. From anger which was very obvious.
"Jack I don't want to fight about something that isn't even a thing." You say, reaching with your hand that isn't on the wheel and grasping his hand that's laying on his thighs.
He snatched it away quickly but still doesn't look at you. He leaves you wondering what shade his eyes were and you want to see them so bad.
"Don't fuckin' touch me." He puts his hand back on his thigh. It is clenched in a fist, his knuckles turning white.
He finally looks at you, his eyes not at all what you expected. They were like you've never seen, so wild with anger. A sickening color of brown.
"I'm so fucking pissed you have no idea." A smirk plays on his lips. But not the usual one where he wash playing around. It was one that looked almost evil.
"I can't even fucking look at you." He looks back out his window.
He was furious. You had expected him to be mad but this was outrageous. You feared this would be the day it all ended. The days in a warm bed with Jack. The secret glances you two shared that only you guys knew what they meant. The last time he looked at you with love in his eyes.
You are so caught up in your thoughts now that when you finally look at the road you were barreling towards a car stopped at a red light. You stomp on the brake, your car making a horrific noise as it skidded to a stop just in time.
Jack's head snaps forward, his hands pressed against the dash to stop him from flying forward.
Your hands are gripping the steering wheel so tight, your heart pounding so loud at the close call.
"FUCK!" Jack yells. "Pull the fuck over. Pull over." He is back to yelling.
You obey, turning your blinker on and making your way to the shoulder of the road.
"Why weren't you paying attention we almost got in a fucking accident! Get out. I'm driving." He says.
You park the car, turning it off, still trying to catch your breath.
He goes to open the door but you quickly lock them.
He turns his head painfully slow toward you. "Don't fucking do that." He practically growls.
"Jack." You say as he turns back to his door once again trying to open it. You again lock it and he starts punching the door.
Yelling as he does it, you have ever seen him so angry. This time he just couldn't handle it and all the anger he had built up comes out.
Fucking unlock the door, I can't even fucking look at you. Fuck you! Fuck you!" He yells and you can't help but start to cry.
"Jack." You say again, your voice cracking. "Jack." You say louder.
Your hand reaching out and literally forcing him to look at you. He tries to push your hand away but you grip his jaw and force him to look into your eyes.
"Jack! Stop. Please stop!" You yell louder than he was. Your tears falling freely down your cheeks.
His breathing is unstable and he is still fuming but he is finally looking at you.
"I won't fucking go. I can't understand the reason you are so mad but I can't lose you. I fucking love you and would never do anything to hurt you." You say.
You are still gripping his jaw, not harshly and he isn't trying to pull away. His lips are extra pouty because of the way your holding his face.
"I fucking love you, Jack. You are my best friend." You repeat the words he once spoke.
He almost looks like he is about to cry. He falls forward, laying his head on your chest. His nose buried in your neck.
He kisses your neck repeatedly, his hot breath hitting your skin.
"I'm so sorry." He says repeatedly.
The tall lanky boy falling apart in your arms.
"I love you so much. I'm so sorry." He says again.
You hug him, overwhelmed from how this afternoon turned out. You had fought before but never like this.
He kisses your neck again, but it wasn't in a sexual way. It was in a loving apologetic way. Almost like he was giving himself to you.
Like you had when you first met him.
