Falling For Him

The Others: Part Two

THE OTHERS: PART TWO

•JASON'S POV• 

"You haven't missed anything too important." Cody said, he was sitting on the floor with Lucy.

"Oh good. So I have an announcement to make." I took a deep breath. "Izzy, will you go to the dance with me?" I pulled the flowers from my jacket pocket and held them out to Izzy.

She smiled a smile so big, I thought her face was going to...

Don't say explode. If you say explode I don't even know what I'll do.

was going to implode.

... That was not much better.

"Yes, I will" Izzy said and took the flowers from me.

I wrapped my arms around her and gave her a kiss, she smiled as she pulled away and lent her head against  my chest.

"I thought you'd never ask her." Jack laughed, he was standing with his arms crossed leaning against the far wall.

"Have you asked anyone yet?" I was curious to know if he had.

"No, I don't know who to ask." Jack replied unfolding his arms and walking over to us.

Izzy pulled away from my embrace, "what about Jenna?"

Jack shrugged, "Jason?"

"Go for it, like I've told Izzy, I'm over her." I laughed, "you don't need my permission you nugget."

I aimed a lazy punch at his head which he ducked, everyone laughed, Jack, Izzy and I sat down in a circle and continued to talk and play games for the rest of the afternoon.

 •JACK'S POV• 

As I walked home that evening I thought about the dance and Jenna. I really wanted to ask her, I knew that much. And I definitely wasn't normally afraid of rejection. I was used to that.

I just felt that if she rejected me, then I wouldn't know where to go. There was no doubt in my mind that she was special, I mean, that's why Jason fell for her in the first place. I knew that I just had to take a risk and go for it. She may not feel the same way, but at least I would've tried.

With that thought in my mind I pulled out my phone and dialled her number.

"Hello?" The voice that belonged to Jenna came through the line, and I suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Jack? Is that you?" Jenna asked, "Are you alright?"

I finally plucked up the courage to speak, "yes, I'm great uh, actually I wanted to ask you something."

"Really? What?"

"Would you, um would you... go, come, uh help me with my Maths homework tomorrow?" I asked whilst silently cursing myself.

"Of course Jack, see you at school." She replied and the phone line disconnected.

You should've gone for it.

I know, I know. I'm so stupid.

Not stupid, but not clever either.

I'll ask tomorrow.

Yeah, sure.

I promise. You'll see.

I knew that I had to ask her or someone else might and then it'd be too late for us.

  •JENNA'S POV• 

 I looked down at my phone in my hands, slightly mystified. 

I was so sure that he would ask me to the dance, I wish he had. 

He doesn't even like you.

How do you know? He might like me. 

If he did, wouldn't he have asked you by now?

I didn't reply, instead I looked out the window and watched the rain drops dart down the glass, matching my turmoil inside.

I wasn't used to feeling so vulnerable, after Jason left me, I was a tough independant woman. But when I was with Jack, I felt like I needed him for myself to be whole. It may be some stupid crush but it's some stupid crush that I would have to live with until we part ways.

I was going to ask him myself. Tomorrow when I help him with his Maths homework, I was going to ask him to the dance.

Good luck with that.

I just rolled my eyes and switched off my bedside lamp so that the darkness could take me away to a land of dreams.

Whoops, I've had a lot of homework recently and my mum is about to tell me to get off my computer and go to bed but I just had to publish this. I know it is short and probably has many mistakes (which you should please point out) but it's something and I'll try to publish another chapter next week.

Sorry again for the tremendous wait for the second half, here comes my mum! Bye!!!
