Tough Guy Dies (bad boy Jack Johnson fanfic)

Chapter Seven

(This is in Rileys pov fyi)

I bite my lip. What am I doing here? I shouldn't have come, he probably thinks I'm some crazy lunatic. "Hey, Jack," I say. I shift my weight to my other leg.

He looks so shocked and confused. Oh god, why did I come here? Oh, yeah. I was forced by my loving best friend and grandmother.

"Wh..what are you doing here?" Jack startles me out of the thoughts of strangling Lilly tomorrow. 

I take a deep breath. Well, here goes my dignity. "I wanted to talk to you," I say. His gaze on me is soft, unlike the one he had when I was last here.

"Okay," he says while looking down at his feet and sits on his bed. "About what?"

I narrow my eyes. Does he not understand a thing he's done? My insides have been twisted for days, and he acts like it's normal? Wow, okay. "You seriously don't know?"

He looks up at me and raises his goddamn eyebrows. "I'm sorry?"

I shake my head "I can't believe you," I mummble. I let out a huff through my nose. "You know what? I actually thought that coming here was a good idea, but I clearly see it was just a waste of time." I grab the door handle and twist it, before quietly saying, "Your just like him."

I open the door and was about to walk out, but I was stopped by a cold hand on my bare arm. I turn around and see Jack staring back at me. "What?" I spit.

"Please don't go," he oh-so  desperately pleads.

"Why?"

He hesitates. "Because." I give him an 'are you serious?' look. He drags me into his room, and I oblige with his hand still on my arm.

"What?" I say again, after a long moment of silence. 

"Please...let me explain-"

"Explain what!? That I was obviously just a toy for you to play with? Sorry, but I kinda got the message," I sneer. I know I will regret this later.

"No! Listen, I'm sorry for ignoring you, but-"

I cut him off with a scoff. It hurts to hear him admit it, though.

He continues. "But I don't know what to do."

"You don't know what to do? You don't know what to do!? How about not acting like I'm invisible!"

"I'm not!"

"Really!? Please..." I roll my eyes at his lie.

"I'm not the only to blame here! At least I didn't stalk you, like you fucking did!"

I gasp. "I did not stalk you!"

"Really? Well explain all the texts twenty-four-seven! And that your here now!"

I growl in pure rage. "WHY CAN'T YOU JUST GO BACK TO NORMAL?"

"YOU WANT ME TO ACT NORMAL!?"

"YES!"

"FINE!"

I feel a pair of chapped lips roughly connect with mine. I was confused, but kissed back, our lips in sync. Sparks fly everywhere as our bodies get pressed up against eachother. I wrap my arms around his neck, standing on the tip of my toes. His hands are slightly touching my jaw, but the cold feeling is erased from his fingers.

We both pull away, gasping for air. I feel my face heat up, but I ignore the tingle sensation. Our foreheads touch, our eyes locked.

"I was ignoring you because I didn't want to hurt you," he says in a low voice.

"I thought you would be another Jake." I look down, but hands pull my chin back up. He holds my head in his hands and caresses my cheeks with his thumbs.

"I will never be like him. I promise," he says. I don't think he knows what happened, but I won't ask.

I smile at him, and he does the same. His eyes light up like never before as he embraces me in a hug. I wrap my arms around his torso, a sense of safety and cologne mixed in with the air.

We pull apart after what felt like forever. "You can definitely hang," he says and I laugh at the cheesy joke, refering to If You Cant Hang by SWS; the song we danced to.

"Good thing's the door closed," I say and he chuckles.

<><><>

I would highly recommend listening to if you can't hang by sws.

Also, in the last chapter, the quote wasn't from Drown by BMTH, it was Can You Feel My Heart by BMTH. Whoopsies.

Anyways.......I hope you liked the chapter. Idk if I liked the last one, so I might edit that :/
