The Shadow 2

The Marriage (1)

"I love you Jen.." Jack said, leaning into me pressing his lips against mine. I murmured, "I love you too." We stopped kissing and looked around. Everyone had their phones out, recording and cheering. I smilied and looked back at him. A voice in my head saying, Don't marry him. He's dangerous... I didnt bother listening to my head. I listen to my heart. Even though he is from my dreams in my weird noggin of mine, Jack is very charming and a nice person. Well, I think he is. Is he?

We left the restaurant and went back to the apartment. "How old are you? I know that is a stupid question to ask but, really?" I said looking at him for a moment l, seeing details from age. "Don't worry 'bout my age. Just worry about our love."

"I can't do this......" I whispered to myself.

"What was that? Is something bothering you?" He looked at me, his eyes filled with anger and fear. "N-n-no...nothing is wrong.." I stuttered and swallowed the huge air in my throat. I wanted to cry. Not in front of him. We got back to the apartment, I knew that I had to get out of here. In the night, I'll hide in the shadows.

12:30 in the morning

I woke up feeling, scared. This is going to back fire. It's going to be fine and just run outta there! I believed that I could do this. Phone started to ring and I looked to see who it was. "Emma? Who's Emma" I whispered loudly.

I answered the phone.

This is the phone call...
J is Jen and E for Emma

J: Hello?

E: Hi Jen! Do you remember me?

J: I'm sorry whoever Emma is... I don't know you. Plus..can we do it over text?

E: No problem. I'll explain to you over text.

END OF CALL

I hung up and clicked the text button. After a few minutes of talking. I remembered who she was. My old pal. I explained that I need help and if she can pick me up. Of course she agreed and stopped texting. I didn't really know why, but I grabbed my clothing, phone, charger, laptop, and some other stuff. I opened the bedroom door and saw Jack sleeping on the couch. I felt bad leaving him. I didn't care. Something was wrong and I need to leave it alone.

Pulling the door open was a big huge regret. He got up and saw me standing there in the door way. I stood still thinking that he wouldn't see me. I was wrong. "Babe? Where are you going?" He asked about to get up. I bolted out the door along with my suitcases. I pulled out my phone and called Emma. "Hello? Jen! I see you! Lemme pull up." I hung up and ran to Emma's car.

I opened the car door and yeeted my suitcases in the back seats. Slamming the door was another thing that I regretted. Why did I do this? I looked behind me and seeing Jack running in a black hoodie. He seriously looked like a robber. Flinging the passenger seat door and closing it as I jumped in. Right when the door shut, Emma locked the door immediately. Sighing in relief was the biggest thing I loved.

"Jen! Oh my god! Are you alright?!" Emma screaming while trying to drive off. I nodded and closed my eyes. I woke up to the sounds of yelling. I opened my eyes and saw Emma yelling at a guy. Maybe her boyfriend. He pushed her into the wall and yelled, "Where is she?!" I got up slowly and grabbed a empty beer bottle. I held it up high, right when I was behind him. Smash! "AHHHHH Ugh..what the heck?" He fell on the floor groaning in pain.

I felt happy that he was in pain. Okay okay. That is a bad thing to say but, he brought a bad vibe when he proposed. "WE ARE DONE!" I yelled in his face. His eyes fluttered open and slapped me in the cheek. I held my cheek from the sting and bursted out laughing. "Why did you smash a bottle on my head?!" Jack yelled trying to get up.

My eyes were open from fear. No one is able to get up like that. Jack's body was floating around the room. I spun around in confusion.

I opened my eyes and the room was dark. "Jen are you alright? You know you can't be paranoid before the wedding right?" Jack asked calmly before getting out of bed. "Sorry.... I just had a bad dream thats all." I said, chuckling it off. Although that was a bad dream and it's not becoming reality.

Today was the big wedding and I was actually nervous because I was worried about the dream. I got dressed in my normal clothes which is a crop top and ripped black shorts. Looking in the mirror was the most important thing ever. Seeing yourself, beginning of a new chapter.

I walked over to my phone and opened it. Unlocking my password that I remembered years ago. I clicked the phone and called Emma. We chatted for a bit and I asked to her to come over. She agreed and hung up. "Hey babe? What is this." Jack asked holding something girls have.

My jaw dropped. Where the heck did he find it?! "It's nothing!" I ran to him and snatched it out of his hand. I ran out of our room and went to the bathroom and sat in the corner.
Ding dong! Emma's here. I got up and unlocked the bathroom door. "Oh my god! Jen!" Emma yelled running in her high heels.

I smiled and hugged her forever. "Care to tell me?" I nodded and led her to my old room. I wasn't embarrassed that it was dirty but, she didn't mind it. I explained the nightmare and she said break the wedding when you are about to say "I do". I nodded and asked, "After the break off, do I kick him out of my house?" "Yes... I will live with you because ever since we were kids, I wanted to live with you." A tear rolled down my cheek. "And that will happen."
