Fatal Redemption | J.J.K.

LXXIII

PAIGE;
Jungkook thought that we should act more like a normal couple and watch a movie. It was good timing because 'Ant-Man and the Wasp' just came out.

We both loved marvel movies so much that we thought the second Ant-man movie would be a good one to watch together.

"Two, please"

Jungkook handed the man behind the counter a fifty dollar bill and chuckled to himself. The theatre we had in town was small and it was the only one we had.

I'm sure the man hasn't seen a bill that big at a place like this.

"Let me get your change" He said before turning away.

"Thanks" Jungkook said.

"Paige" I heard from beside me. I turned to see my friend Timothy from cross country.

"Hey Tim" I said facing him, I had a feeling I would see him here. We were both big Marvel fans.

That reminded me that Xavier was going to watch the movie tonight as well. I left Kook alone for awhile to talk to Tim about the season and could hear that he was already causing trouble.

I apologized to Tim but he understood, I said bye before walking to the commotion.

"Hi" I heard Jungkook say. I hoped to god it was one of his teammates but it wasn't.

"Get a load of this" I hear Dalias annoying voice say.

Gavin chuckled stepping up to Kookie, "You know, maybe you have Paige fooled, but not me. God will condemn you " he spoke.

"Oh, shucks" Jungkook said, the veins in his hands start to turn black.

I was shocked, I've never seen him in full vampire mode or whatever they call it, before.

I rushed up to Jungkook and turned him around not wanting anyone to see his eyes change.

I fake coughed and pulled his head to the crook of my neck and rubbed his back, "Chill boy, chill" I said as I could feel him inhale my scent and grip my waist.

"Hey" I said to Gavin and his puppy, trying to make them go away. Jungkook calmed down and stood to my side.

If the situation couldn't get worse, Xavier walked up and decided to join in on the fight.

"Gavin, don't you got to walk on water somewhere?"

"Get lost Xavier!" Dalia gritted at my best friend.

"Hey!" I growled at her as Jungkook grabbed my hand. No one tells my best friend to get lost except me.

"All of you stop!" Gavin shouted as I rolled my eyes. He looked at Dalia, Xavier, me then at Jungkook.

"You see the trouble you cause" He told him.

"C'mon Gavin" Dalia said before walking away and dragging him along, all while giving me a death glare.

I returned it, she didn't scare me.

"Hey" Xavier said to Jungkook, "Don't mind Gavin. He can't actually walk on water but his bullshit makes him float"

That seemed to loosen Jungkook up a bit that he chuckled in return. I smiled and grabbed his hands and kissed his palm.

"Let's go in" I told him as he nodded.

"Mike and Ike's?" I asked Xavier as we walked towards the movie theatre entrance.

"Yes and a coke please" he answered as I nodded.

We walked into the movie theatre and inhaled the smell of butter and popcorn.

I loved the movie theaters. I've visited this place almost every weekend during the summer to watch the old movies they played.

We both got in line for snacks and waited. I noticed Jungkook looking around, "What's the matter?"

He looked down at me, "This is my first time being in a movie theatre" he answered as I frowned.

"What do you think?" I asked. This was one of my safe places.

"It's nice, I like it" he smiled as I nodded.

We grabbed the snacks and sat down in the back, I didn't want Gavin or Dalia bothering us.

"I see right through him" I heard Gavin say to her as I rolled my eyes and held Jungkook's hand.

"Do not let them bother you, okay?" I said as he smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, he's just jealous that you're treating Paige better and making her actually like you" Xavier said as he walked up and sat behind us.

I chuckled and shook my head as I passed him his drink and candy.

The lights started to dim and everyone got quiet. I looked at Jungkook, he kept looking around like he was scared until I gave his hand a reassuring squeeze.

He looked at me as I nodded, "It's okay" I whispered to him as he softly smiled.

The movie previews were showing when I leaned over to open my pocket more.

"You want some Mike and Ike's?" I asked Jungkook in a whisper.

He chuckled, "Why do you put them in your pocket?" He asked as he got a few pieces and put them in his mouth.

"I have to hide some for myself, because Xavier never shares" I said and put a few in my mouth as he smiled.

He put his arm over my shoulders and brought me in closer to him. I smiled and snuggled my head onto the side of his chest.

I loved being held by him, he made me safe.

I felt more protected with him than Gavin. It isn't because he's a vampire but because he actually cares about me.

I looked up to Jungkook to see him engrossed into the preview. I softly smile and looked back to the screen.

I caught a glimpse of Gavin looking back at us but I didn't pay no attention to him.

I have Jungkook, and he's all I'll ever need.

The post credits played and I was shocked. I stayed in my seat with my mouth hung open.

Jungkook and Xavier wore the same look on their faces. The end was totally unexpected.

There were so many theories going through my head that I couldn't think straight.

'Ant-Man and the Wasp will return.'

Then the period turned into a question mark.

"What the fuck?!"
