On The Run

Chapter Three

Liz's P.O.V

The next morning I woke up and felt a pair of arms around me, I slightly glanced over my shoulder to find a still sleeping Jack, rolling over I gently placed my hand on his chest "Does this man have any body hair?" I asked myself quietly, not that I'm complaining... I absolutely hate body hair "No, I hate body hair and laser hair removal works wonders" Jack answered, slightly startling me "I thought you were asleep" I said, pulling my hand away "Well I was... I woke up an hour ago and you were still asleep, I didn't wanna wake you so I stayed here" Jack smiled "Honey, you could've had a concert in here and I would have slept through it" I chuckled "And I didn't want you to panic thinking I left you" He smiled shyly "And I don't wanna leave" He said quietly "Awe" I smiled "You're cute" Jack grinned "No I'm not" I said covering my face "No you're not... You're gorgeous" Jack smiled, moving my hands from my face, kissing my nose "Last night was great" I smiled, glancing over to my nightstand I spotted Jack's blue and black flannel.

Jack's P.O.V

Elizabeth grabbed my flannel and quickly put it on "I'm gonna go shower, if you wanna join" she grinned, rolling out of bed "Oh, I've got clothes in my closet that should fit you" She added, stopping at the door "Oh" I replied in a questioning tone, slightly panicking at the fact she had other men's clothing here "What? I can't have a couple one night stands?" Liz asked as I walked up to her "I never said that" I smiled "Not that you're a one night stand" Liz said quickly "I hope I'm not" I smirked, resting my hands on her hips "You're not" Liz smiled leaning in towards my face "Good" I smiled closing the gap between us...

Liz's P.O.V

After Jack and I finished showering we got dressed then I threw my bed sheets in the washer... We were now sitting in the kitchen in a comfortable silence "I think my house is haunted" Jack said, breaking the said silence "What?" I asked looking up from my phone "I think my house is haunted" He repeated "What makes you think that?" I asked "Well, when I'm there I wake up with scratches on my arms and legs and sometimes it gets cold then goes back to normal... and I had to take my dog to my Sister's because he would start barking in the middle of the night... at nothing... I told my Mom and she laughed and said it was just my imagination and I started to believe her until my friend came over and woke up with scratches on his arms and legs too... Then I had a picture come off a shelf like someone had picked it up and purposely dropped it... and I see shadows... all the time" Jack explained nervously "Why don't you move in with your parents or Sister?" I asked "Nala doesn't have room, Mom is in a nursing home and Dad won't let me move in with him" Jack sighed "Well... I've got an extra bedroom" I smiled "I couldn't" Jack started "Don't give me that bullshit, you want to and you know it" I grinned "I feel like I walked in on the wrong conversation" Lilly commented from the door way "No" I laughed "Jack is moving in with us" I smiled "He is?!" Lilly asked excitedly "I am?" Jack asked, clearly confused "I mean... If you wanna" I answered. I smiled sweetly as Lilly gave him puppy dog eyes. Jack sighed "I'll go get my stuff" He smiled "Yay!" Lilly clapped...

Lilly's P.O.V

It's now been three months since Jack moved in, and it's currently 1 in the morning, I woke up to yelling then I heard Jack and Liz both yell "fine" then the front door slammed then Liz's bedroom door slammed. I reluctantly rolled out of bed and made my way to Liz's room...

As I walked in I found Liz laying on her bed crying "What's wrong?" I asked, sitting down beside her "I don't wanna talk about it" Liz answered, "Where's Jack?" I asked "He went outside... Probably to his car" Liz answered, I simply nodded then went to talk to Jack...

"Ya know, you really shouldn't do that" I said, walking up to Jack, who was leaning against his car smoking a cigarette "And you shouldn't drink at 18 but ya do" Jack retorted, accent a little thicker than normal, that's something that tends to happen when he gets mad "What happened?" I asked leaning against the car beside him "She wanted me to come to bed and I wouldn't and she kept prying then I snapped and asked why the hell she was so goddamn clingy and it escalated from there" Jack answered "So you got into a fight because Liz was trying to get you to come to bed and you are still stressing over work?" I asked "Pretty much" Jack answered, lighting another cigarette "Why are you so stressed about work?" I asked "Because I may work for my Dad but I have to have that damn paper done by Monday or I don't have a job" Jack answered "It's only Friday Jack, you've got all weekend... well technically it's Saturday but you know what I mean... So put your damn cigarette out and go the hell to bed" I said, making my way back inside "What if she doesn't want me to?" Jack asked "She does" I said, turning around "How do you know? For all I know she could want me to leave and not come back... Lil, we've been together three months and already been in three big ish arguments... maybe we're not gonna work out... I mean we did start out as just a one night stand" Jack said, voice dripping in pain "I know, because Lizzy isn't like that... All she needs is some time to cool off and she's ready to work through the problem. If you want to leave then leave just know, Liz wants you here more than anything, if she didn't she would tell you. You're both just stressed and tired.. Also, I understand he's your Dad and all but it sounds to me like you need a new job" I said, then walked off...

*Time Skip*

Roughly about ten minutes later Jack came back inside and but a bag down by the door "I knew you'd stay" I smiled, getting up from my spot on the couch "Also, it's finished and I corrected a couple things" I said handing him the now finished papers that were on the coffee table "How?" Jack asked "It was simple" I answered, then explained what I did "Lilly... This is scientist level shit... How the hell?...I mean thanks but... How? This is amazing" Jack said, looking at the paper in astonishment "I don't know... I just looked at the papers and figured it out" I answered "I'm gonna go back to bed now" I said making my way back to my room "Ok, goodnight Lil" Jack said as he started to pick all of his work things up...

Jack's P.O.V

I pushed aside the fact that Elizabeth's 18 year only sister is a hundred times smarter than I am and picked up all of my work papers that were scattered on the coffee table... I then made my way down the hall and to the bedroom that I now share with Liz, as I walked in and found Liz fast asleep with her arm over my English Bulldog Otis, who was curled up beside her. I smiled and carefully got into bed and gently wrapped my arms around Liz. I placed a small kiss on the back of her shoulder, where she has a tattoo of her Mom's favorite flowers and soon let sleep take over...
