My Warped Love - Jacky Vincent Fan Fiction

Chapter 7 - Oh, The Webs You Weave

Once again we found ourselves in the executive lounges of the big warm building that was set just aside from the field where the constructions for the stages were just about happening. This time I was in the presence of the person I hated the most. No matter how hard I tried, there was something I couldn't help but notice.

This was just how messy and tired Josh looked compared to before I left him, but it could be just a coincidence. No matter what, I didn't feel any sympathy towards him. This was his fault and to be completely honest, I'm glad it happened. It was for the best. There was something that Jacky and I had, that was never there in my relationship with Josh... Probably respect.

I strolled across the grey carpet, propping myself on the arm of a black leather sofa, hoping that this could be over and done with in the matter of seconds. But when did anything ever go my way?

I could tell that Jacky felt the same awkward tension that I did as he passed Josh anxiously, attempting to seat himself next to me, but before he could make any further movements,  Josh had grabbed the front of Jacky's t shirt once again, pulling him closer and closer every second.

"Get your hands off my favourite t shirt" he glared, staring into Josh's eyes coldly, becoming less aggressive as he was gradually released.

"You think it's okay to steal my girlfriend?" Josh growled in a harsh tone, attempting to click his knuckles, suddenly becoming so infuriated by the laughter I had found myself bursting into.

Honestly, I found this guy hilarious. I swear I didn't even know him anymore and to be perfectly truthful, I didn't want to know him anymore either. He always used to go on about how he'd love me more if I had blond hair, tanned skin, knock-your-eye-out breasts and wear clothes that only playboy bunnies wear. Without sounding judgemental against people that enjoy looking like that... I had more respect for myself.

I was myself and that's all I ever wanted to be. As far back as I can remember actually. I vaguely remember in reception (for american's: kindergarten) sat on the rough brown carpet in the worst shaped circle I had ever seen. Even then, we were already discussing what we wanted to do or be in the future. When it came to my turn, I stood up proud in front of all my classmates and announced that when I was older I wanted "to be different". And I always proved truthful to my words. It wasn't like one of those crazy child fantasy's like "When I'm older I want to sneeze unicorn dust" It was realistic and It shows me that I've always been the same. But different :S

"I'm not your girlfriend" I sneered towards Josh, feeling my nose ring move with my sinister smile. I felt my eyelashes flutter crazily as I sensed the motion of Josh's fist colliding right into my cheek bone, knocking me back on to the couch. My face burned for a few seconds and I couldn't even see a thing. It didn't really come as a surprise to me, he had hit me before, but never did I think he'd have the guts to hit me in public because I warned him what I'd do before. I'd take it further.

Jacky's voice shredded through the silence that prevailed as I blinked perpetually, hoping that the dizzy feeling in my head wouldn't last long. It felt like concussion but on a less serious scale. "DONT YOU EVER TOUCH HER AGAIN, YOU HEAR ME?" He yelled furiously, smashing Josh into the wall to the left of me, attempting to let all his anger out on Josh, "WEREN'T YOU EVER TAUGHT NOT TO HIT GIRLS?" he continued yelling viciously, throwing Josh onto the carpet beneath him.

"Clearly not" Josh snapped back as cool as the wind, letting Jacky tear at him without even flinching, "Because you have no idea how much I want to hit you..." he laughed sarcastically, throwing his first punch at Jacky, watching him stagger backwards for a few seconds while the room seemed to spin through my eyes.

"I didn't like you from the minute I heard your name" Jacky jeered, dragging Josh up from the carpet, unveiling his true strength... Then again, Josh wasn't the strongest of guys at all, so that would be an easy thing to do even for me.  It was such a massive change to see Jacky this confident because usually he seemed so shy and nervous.
