No Matter What ~ Jackxpenn

Chapter 17 - No Permission

Jenn POV

It was so perfect. We were laying on the roof on a mattress, cuddling in blankets, while looking at the stars. I was so thankful for Jack. I layed my head on his chest, while he played with my hair.

I couldn't tell you exactly what triggered the depression on the first place, but it was a pile of things, stacking on top of another. Something in me cracked; I wasn't myself. Looking back on it now, I was so stupid, so stupid to think hurting myself would solve anything. I turned over my wrist, looking at my five scars. Jack grabbed my arm, turning it towards him, and kissed each one. I smiled, looking up at him.

Jack turned my wrist back over and pulled down my sleeve, so the scars weren't visible. He continued playing with my hair, while looking at the stars.

"You're perfect, you know that?" He said.

I turned slightly, looking up at him, "Jacky, I'm not perfect. We both know that," I said.

"Well you're perfect to me. Don't ever forget that, okay? No matter what," he said quietly, near my ear, making me shiver.

I layed my head back on his chest, feeling it move gently up and down as he breathed.

"No matter what," I repeated, nuzzling my head into his chest.

"How did you get this idea anyway, Romeo?" I laughed.

He laughed, looking down at me, "I've seen Jc come up here a few times. I've had it in mind for a while now, but I had to wait; for the perfect girl, and the perfect moment,"

"Wow," I said, "Well know I feel special," I smirked, blushing.

Just then, I felt a drop of water, then another. I turned towards Jack to see him as surprised as I was, as a drop hit him right in between the eyes.

"Crap," he laughed, but didn't get up.

I didn't get up either. Suddenly, a downpour of rain began, soaking the both of us.

"Sorry about the rain," Jack laughed.

"It's okay. I kinda like it, it's like the Notebook," I laughed back.

"Well minus the fact that we aren't in a boat, and that you aren't mad at me because you thought I didn't write you, there is another thing missing," he shouted, sitting up and trying to be heard over the rain.

"And what would that be?" I said.

"This," he said, so quietly I almost didn't hear. Suddenly, I felt his lips on mine. I smiled in the kiss, feeling stupid I didn't catch on. But I was glad I didn't, it made it more romantic that way. I kissed back, wrapping my arms around his neck. It was like they belonged there; it felt so natural to me.

He pulled away, and the both of us were smiling at each other, and I was biting my lip.

"Hey, what did I tell you about doing that? Jack smirked, gently pulling my lip out of my teeth. I smirked too, forgetting about that little gesture.

From the backyard, I heard Jc yell, "Hey that's my spot! You can't make out up there without my permission!"

We turned to each other, both laughing and our cheeks turning pink.

"I'll get back at him later," he laughed, standing up.

I laughed too, standing up beside him. "I'm sure you will," I smirked.

He reached out to grab my hand, "Do you trust me?" He said playfully, joking about earlier that day.

I smiled, "Maybe," I joked, putting my hand in his. But he and I both knew that I trusted him more than anything.

"Are you coming down to get a beating or not?" Jc yelled from the backyard.

We both laughed, walking hand in hand, soaking wet, and climbed down off the roof into the backyard, hoping Jc won't go too hard on us.

A/N: Hey guys!!!! I just wanted to let you know, starting this week, I go back to school after the Christmas break. That means that instead of doing daily updates, I need to switch to doing one or two chapters a week. I was thinking Friday as my update day. Sound good?
Oh yeah, if anyone has an idea for a new story once I've finished this one, let me know :)
