Jack Johnson's POV:
I carry myself through the woods, it's a shortcut to my house. Hopefully my mom won't be home.
I walk upstairs and care for the bruises Colton left me. I stay home for the rest of last period. Later Jack texts me.
Jack: Dude where are you??
Jack: Did you leave early?
Jack: Please tell me I'm worried..
Me: I'm fine.
Jack: Why'd you leave?
Me: It doesn't matter
Jack: Well it does to me
I put my phone down, not answering. I sit by myself letting a few tears out, from the pain that will take a few days to go away.
I lay on my bed looking at the ceiling. I hear a knock at the front door downstairs. I get up sighing that I have to go all the way down there to answer it.
I open it expecting my mom, but it's Jack. "Hey- what the hell, what are those bruises on your face?" He asks getting angry quickly.
"They're nothing why are you here." I say not really questioning, I just want him to leave.
"I came to check on you because you left school early. Now what are those bruises?" He asks stepping closer to touch them.
"They're nothing go away." I say shutting the door. He stops me and opens it.
"Leave Jack. Now." I say stepping back slowly. I turn to walk upstairs. He follows of course.
I walk into my room, trying to shut the door and lock him out.
He pushes the door open, "Tell me who hurt you like this.." I can hear him almost crying.
"It's none of your business, go away." I say turning away from him.
"It is my business! You're my best friend I want to know, I want to take care of you! Just tell me and I can help you.." He says turning me around to face him.
"You really don't know yet? You seriously can't tell.." I say heating up.
"Don't know what!" He says
"Colton! Colton did it! Now leave!" I yell pushing him.
"No I'm not leaving I'm going to tell the school that he did this I'm gonna take care of it." He says shutting my door.
"Where else did he hurt you?" He asks stepping closer to me.
"H-he punched me in the stomach.. And pushed me down and I hit my head." I say shaking worrying that Colton would hurt me more for telling.
"Let me see the other bruises." He says taking my hand, walking me to the mirror.
He lifts my shirt, I freeze, why is he doing this. He gasps when he sees the bruises. He lifts my shirt over my head throwing it on the bed.
I'm shirtless in front of him, he touches the bruises on my side. My spine shivers at his touch.
He pulls me into a light hug, "I'm sorry I didn't notice they were hurting you." He says holding me.
I put my head into his neck again, feeling safe. "No more interruptions." He says, I hear him smile slightly.
"Good." I say hugging him a little tighter. He starts to rub my bare back. He walks me to my bed laying me down.
He goes to the other side and lays with me. I've wanted this almost our whole lives, to cuddle with Jack.
My back is to him, he rubs my back for a little bit. Afterwards he puts his arm around me, sliding closer to me.
I turn over to look at him, we stare at each other. "I love you." He says running his fingers though my hair lightly.
"I-I love you too." I say blushing.
"You're so cute when you blush." He smiles at me.
I hide my face in his chest. "Can I try something?" He whispers. I pick my head up looking at him.
"Sure." We're looking each other in the eyes again. He looks at my lips, and back to my eyes.
He leans closer to me, I lean in too. He looks at me with an "are you sure" kind of look.
He looks down to the end of the bed, and holds my hand in his. He looks back to me and gets closer, our foreheads are touching now.
Am I really about to kiss Jack after all these years? This is perfect.
He puts his lips closer to mine, we're closer than we've ever been right now. He slowly kisses me, making sure I'm ok with it.
I kiss him back, he pulls away looking at me. He kisses me a little harder, he pulls away and hugs me.
I snuggle into him, "You don't know how long I've wanted to do that." I say smiling.
He laughs kissing my forehead, "Me too babe." He squeezes me not wanting to let go.
