Inevitable Love ≫ J.G

Chapter XLIII

"Jack, babe stop looking like that." I pouted faintly, watching Jacks expression. He's been moping around since he woke up, his facial expression never changed.

His eyebrows were lowered and he was slouched. He would always lean his head back and take deep inhales and exhales. He would run his hand down his face, rub the back of his neck or play with his fingers every now and then.

"I'm sorry," he sighed, "I just don't want you to leave."

I walked over to him as he sat on the kitchen counter and stood in between his legs, "I don't wanna leave either, Jack b-"

"Then don't. You can call Alexis and Chase and tell them you'll be coming back later than planned." He suggested, placing his hands on my waist.

I shook my head, "I can't do that."

"You can't or won't?" He raised his eyebrow, his tone was faintly harsh.

"Both,"

He sighed and leaned his head back in frustration, "God, this sucks!" He groaned.

I intertwined our fingers together, bringing his hand up to my lips and kissed the back of his hand, "I know, baby. C'mon, we gotta go."

Jack sighed loudly and hopped off the counter, wrapping his arms around my waist. He hugged me tightly, leaning his head on mine and rocking us from side to side. I wrapped my arms around his torso, hugging him just as tightly.

"Jack," I mumbled, "you're gonna make me cry."

He let go slowly, "Sorry, c'mon."

He grabbed my hand and held onto it basically for dear life.

I was gonna miss this more than anything.

As we finally arrived to the airport, Jack never let go of my hand. Johnson and and the rest of the guys decided to tag along so Jack didn't have to leave alone.

It was evident that Jack was upset, it was understandable since we didn't get to go out as much as we planned due to his hectic schedule. To make matters worse, the day he had another full day off, I had to leave.

We all went through the metal detectors and then we sat over by my gate. I sat down my luggage and went to take my seat next to Jack but he grabbed my waist and pulled me ontop his lap, wrapping his arms around me tightly and leaning his head on my chest.

I wrapped my arm around his shoulder and hugged him back, running my fingers through his hair.

"This is such a depressing day." Cameron sighed, slouching down in his seat.

"Tell me about it," I mumbled, kissing Jack's head.

"When do you plan on coming back?" Matt asked.

I shrugged, "I don't know honestly."

Jacks grip around my waist tighten slightly, sighing quietly against my chest. He was taking this a lot harder then I expected, it broke my heart to see how upset he is.

"Guys, Jack and I will be right back. I need to talk to him real quick." I said, removing his arms from around my waist and pulling him up.

We talked over towards a pretty isolated area, only about three or four people sitting there but they either had earphones in or were completely into a book they had.

I leaned my back against the nearest wall by the huge windows that outlooked the planes arriving or leaving and held his face in my hands, "Talk to me, why are you taking this so hard?" I said in hushed tones.
