Jack P.O.V.

I was currently out to lunch with my friend, (Y/n), waiting for the waitress to come back with my credit card. It was one of those rare times where she actually could go out. Secretly, I was in love with her. Gorgeous, smart, funny, talented, the list goes on. The only problem is, she is dating some bastard named Hunter. Hunter never hit her, at least of what I've seen, but it was definitely an abusive relationship. He controlled where she went, and when. He controlled who she hung out with. He forced her to come home when she was out, told her what to wear, what to do, belittles her, and more. Hunter especially prevents her from going out with guys, so it's hard for us to see each other in person. Not only have I tried to tell her she needs out, other friends have as well, but she always replies with one of the three same excuses. "No, he isn't like that." "He can change." And when she is really down, "If I leave, he will come back."

Shared friends of ours have even had an intervention, but she refuses to leave him, to believe that he is that bad. I've even tried telling Hunter to leave her alone, which got the shot beaten out of me, a few people calling me stupid, and concerned comments from fans. "Earth to Jack." She says. I look at her. "Yeah? Sorry. Spaced out." She laughs. Music to my ears. She shifts a little, like she is embarrassed, and I know what's coming. "I should get going. I have a few drawings I want to finish." While she is an avid artist, I know that really Hunter wants her back at their apartment. "Will I get to see them?" I play along. She blushes slightly, it's so cute. "I don't know. They aren't that good." She shrugs. I scoff. "Yes they are. You could teach classes." Now she is even pinker. "Thanks."

"Of course. You're amazing." She chuckles. "I don't know about that, but thanks. It's nice to hear." She mumbles the last part, probably hoping I won't hear it. "If you ever need anything, you can come to me." I blurt out. She smiles. "I know. See you later, SepticBro." She stands up to leave. I sigh. If only I could be the one calling her mine. If I could tell her how I felt, could feel her hand in mine, wake up to her snuggled up to me. The waitress returns with my card. I thank her, then head back home. On the way back to my place, I grew increasingly more frustrated. If Hunter treated her right, if she were happy, I would leave it. But she isn't, and it makes me more desperate to save her. Once I get home, I record videos to pass time.

I wake, startled, to a knock at the door. I must of fallen asleep at my desk. I check the time. 2:43? The hell? I stand, stretch a little, and go to the door. When I open it, I'm shocked. (Y/n) is standing in the doorway, tears streaming down her face. Bruises and blood cover her, and she looks scared. "(Y/n)! What happened?" I pull her inside. "H-He-He, you were right. Everyone was right." She sobs. "Shh. It's okay." I pull her into a hug. "I won't let him ever hurt you again." She cries into my chest. After a few minutes, she pulls back. "Sorry about your shirt." She says. I look down to see it now stained with tears and blood. I shrug. "It doesn't matter. Let's go get a cloth to clean off the blood."

We stand, going to the bathroom. I hand her a damp cloth, then look for a first aid kit. There isn't much I can do besides clean and bandage a few cuts on her face and arms. The bruises will heal in time. I make coffee, and we sit in the couch together. "Thank you, Jack." I pull her close. "I will always help you. Do you want to talk about it?" She is quiet for a few moments. "When I got home, he wasn't there, which I had done on purpose. He wanted me wearing some skimpy clothes, so I wanted to make sure I returned in time to change. When he got home, he was drunk. He wanted to have sex, but I told him no because he was drunk. He got angry, he tried to force himself on me, but was too drunk to actually do anything. He smashed a beer bottle, and started hitting. It, It is t the first time he has hit me, but it's usually once then he leaves. At that point I realized that everyone was right. You were right."

She is crying again at this point. I hug her tightly. That bastard. He doesn't deserve you. "He won't hurt you, not with me around." She looks up at me. "Thank you, Jack." "Of course, (Y/n). Come on, you need to rest." She shakes her head. "I won't sleep." "Okay, let's watch a movie." She nods. We watch her favorite movie on the couch. Halfway through, she falls asleep on my shoulder. By the end of the movie, I'm asleep too, cuddled into the woman I've loved for a long time.

~~~~~~~A Month Later~~~~~~~~

I stare into her beautiful (e/c) eyes. "(Y/n). There is something I've been meaning to tell you." After the incident with Hunter, we got all of her stuff out together, she officially broke it off with him, and she has been staying with me. Hunter tried to get her back for the first couple of weeks, but now he has given up. Now I'm ready to tell (Y/n) how I feel, sitting across from her as she shows me her newest drawing. This first one I've seen. She looks curious. "Yes, Jack?" I clear my throat. "I have loved you for a long time. The way you light up a room. The way you focus when you read. The way your bite your lip when you draw." I gain confidence the longer I talk. "I love the way you hum when you think no one is listening, how you try to make everyone happy. You are so amazing, beautiful, talented, and kind. I love you, (Y/n), I really do. I understand if you don't feel the same, you just got out of a relationship, but I can't hold it in anymore. I love you."

She looks at me, shock evident in her eyes. I screwed up. Before I realize what's happening, a pair of lips lock with mine. They're soft, and sweet. I kiss her back with passion. When we break, our eyes meet. She gives a cute little smile. "I wanna see where this goes. Part of me knew that I wasn't meant to be with Hunter. That part wanted to be with you. I should have left a long time ago. I want to make up for lost time. I love you too, Jack." I kiss her again, grateful that she is in my life.
