Chapter Twleve

I woke up, but there wasn't any sun light. I sat up and notice everything around me, Jack was passed out next to me, shirtless, Bella was on the other side of me, Sam, Johnson and Alexis were on the floor asleep.

I tried to crawl over Jack, and it almost woke him up. Once I got over him I walked outside to the balcony. I sat on the chair and looked out over the yard. I looked down at my phone to check the time and it was 3;30.

I honestly had no clue why I was up. Just when I locked my phone, and stood up, a car pulled in the driveway. I stood up and looked over at the car, the door came open and it was my mom. Just when she got out, a man got out of the driver side. Let's just say, it wasn't my dad.

I walked off the balcony and back I walked back to the room. I snuck out to the door and downstairs, just in time for my mom to walk in the front door.

"Wow, dads gonna love this." I said with my arms crossed, she jumped off the ground and looked at me.

"Layla, hey baby girl!" She slurred.

"Shut up." I starred at her. "If you honestly think you can come home after being gone with another man, and cheat on dad again, you're a dumb ass."

"Look here bitch," She had a strong scent of beer from her breathe. "This is my house and if you dare try to tell your father anything, I'll tell him you fucked Jack." She crossed her arms like that was gonna hurt me, "and tell him you're smoking weed."

"Wow, bitch tell him a lie-" A sharp smacking sound echoed through the room, and a sharp pain fled over my face.

"Jess? What the hell are you doing!" I looked up and it was my dad.

I stood up and held on to my tears and ran upstairs, holding my cheek. I ran into someone and I didn't care who. "Hey, hey." A soft muscular voice said, and pulled my chin up. It was Jack. "Why is your face so red? Come here." He picked me up and put me in his arms. We walked through the room to my bathroom and shut the door. He turned in the light and sat me on the counter.

He traced his finger across my cheek, as I clinched at the feeling. He stepped back and looked at me. I closed my eyes and let the tear fall. Jack hugged me as I instantly wrapped my arms around his neck. I cried for a little, then I pulled away. "She hit me, I fucking hate her. She cheating ass bitch." I said, and he looked at me with such worry in his face. "You can go back to bed, sorry to bother you."

He looked at me, still, but he connected our lips together and didn't pull away so fast. I literally wanted this to last forever but it didn't. He pulled away to the sound of my bathroom door opening. My dad walked in and asked if I was okay and looked at my cheek.

"She went somewhere. I'm so sorry she hit you." I nodded, and looked back at Jack. He was between my legs shirtless with a little bit of tears in his shoulders. "Y'all get some sleep."

I looked at Jack and got off the countertop and walked to my balcony. My balcony wasn't huge but I had a chair and a bunch of big body pillows and blankets in the corner of the area. I sat on the pillows and pulled a blanket over me, Jack sat next to me and put the blanket over his body too.

I put my head on his chest and traced my thumb in circles on his stomach. He kissed the top of my head, and wrapped his arm around my side and we sat there for a second. "Jack?"

"Yeah?"

"In the kitchen, earlier, did you mean what you said?" I asked. "You said you liked me?"

"I did say that." He said. I sat up and looked at him. "You said you did to, but I don't think you're serious."

"I didn't think you were." We sat there for a moment. In silence.

"I did." He smiled, placing his hands on my waist, pulling me on top of his torso. "I was hoping you were too."

"I do like you." I said then he pulled me and kissed me. He moved with his lips like we've never done before. I pulled away and looked at him.

"What are we doing?"

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Why am I stupid, why haven't I made you mine yet?"

"I don't know?" I blushed.

"Well that's what I'm gonna do!" He smiled. "Layla Smith, will you please be my girlfriend." He smirked.

"You're so cheesy," I smiled and went in for a kiss. "Yes." I said in between the kiss and he laughed and tightly wrapped his arms around my waist. He pulled me to the side of him and we cuddled up to each other.

I couldn't help but smile. I looked up at the stars and felt his hand on the bottom of my back, touching my skin, tracing circles on my back like I did. My eyes became really heavy.

I continually blinked to tried to stay awake. They felt dry, so I completely closed them and fell asleep.
