Bad Boy Frost

Chapter 19

He sat up still staring at me. I was shocked to realize that this time, he was the one with fear in his eyes. Something I thought I would never see in him. He was always strong and now, that's not the case. His eyes pierced into mine. But I stood my ground. I made sure to show him that I knew something happened, and I wanted to know the truth.

The room was quiet. All except that constant beeping from that stupid heart monitor. I really wanted to freeze it. I don't know why, but I just do.

Jack was still staring at me. I sat there waiting for a response. He looked down playing with part of his blanket.

"Jack." I said almost too quietly, and with a hint of anger.

He looked up. But almost too quickly, his fear vanished and was replaced with an emotion I couldn't read.

"Elsa. You have-" he started.

"No. Jack you have to listen. You know who I bumped into today? Zack. Yeah. That asshole. And he wasn't alone. But that's not why I'm here. I'm here because of what he said. And I need to know the truth Jack. And if you don't tell me, I'm walking out and never coming back," I said as I felt a lump form in my throat. But I quickly swallowed it. I needed to stay strong. I needed to be the bigger person.

He looked not surprised. Which made me angrier. I wanted him to not know what I'm talking about. I wanted him to tell me that this was all Zack trying to scare me. But he didn't. Instead he sat there with the guts to lie to me. Oh how much I wanted this to all be a dream. All of it.

"Elsa." He said in a whisper. I didn't respond though. The tone of his voice was pleading for understanding from me. But I just don't know if I could.

"It wasn't an accident that I fell into that lake. And I knew you would come here. And want to know the truth. But I'm afraid if you find out, you're...you're going to leave. Leave me. And just loose feelings. But I was stupid and let this happen so it's best if you find out. For better or worse," he said.

I stood silent. Waiting for more. I needed answers. Or else I couldn't sleep tonight. Or ever. The look on his face made this look very important.

"But Elsa. Before you find out this nasty truth," he started.

I was so angry. Just spit it out! I wanted to scream that. Why was he not just telling me already!?

He reached his hand out and gently placed it behind my neck. I was shocked at his actions, but I didn't resist. He then pulled in and touched his forehead with mine.

"I need to feel your lips one last time. So if you leave," he said.

His other hand found my lower back. He then leaned in, gently setting his lips against mine. Just like all of the others we shared, but this one was, for some reason, more meaningful. His cool lips against mine. They made the world stop. His touch was heaven. Soon, he parted. The anger I had, was still there, but not as strong.

He looked me in the eye. His eyes more gorgeous than ever. He then looked away, and turned his attention towards the wall in front of him.

"I can remember how your lips felt against mine. Because it's the best feeling ever," he finished in a hushed whisper.

It was quiet again.

"Jack. I need to know," I said, while the sound of my voice surprised me in the quiet room.

He took a deep breath, and looked down.

"Elsa. The reason I fell into the lake wasn't an accident. I am much more than you think. I know more people than you think. And I knew when I first saw you, that I shouldn't mess with you. Because, as they say everyone has a soulmate, and I knew you were mine. But unlike others, I could see mine before I even meet them. What I'm trying to say is, we were meant to be," he said.
