Jackson's POV

After we watched 3 movies, Violet passed out on one of the comfy cinema seats. Allexandra asked me if I wanted to play just dance which I sucked at.
After 3 hours of just having fun I was exhausted, but I didn't want to sleep.. I could see myself falling inlove with her in the near future. But now? It was 3 am and   I am going though my Emma's, my ex, instagram account. I know she's up cause she updated her story 2 minutes ago...
...so I did something stupid...
I called her.

"Hey, Jack? What are you doing?" She sounds mad
"Uh hey Em, I don't really know I just wanted to talk and hear your voice...."
"You know I've moved on, you should aswell,I-"
"Look Em I'm sorry but I miss you and I can't stop thinking about you, -you....,"my voice cracked, "you've been gone 5 months and after 3 years of dating you have a new boyfriend...."
I heard her wimper on the other end of the phone
Her small sad wimper broke me even more.
"Look I don't know what you want from me, Jack, you're a great person-"

I tuned out when I heard Allexandra's sob
"Look I'll leave you alone, I need to go check on something..."

The heart wrenching sound made me cringe and want to cry all over again.

She hasn't even been asleep an hour and she's sobbing.
"No jackson- that's my name-please I can't please help me..."
"Daddy...?? What are you doing I thought you're dead..."
"Jackson please don't he's a good person...."
I heard a soft sorrowful "no" and seconds later a loud heart breaking "nO! You can't do that, he was innocent. Daddy no!!!! You hurt him."
After that I couldn't and I woke her up. She woke up with a jolt, panic evident in her ocean star eyes. She was sobbing and soaking wet, in my arms she laid, crying her heart out and holding on to me.

"I thought you were dead, Jackson I could smell it, he burned you. Please don't....," she sobbed," please don't leave me . I can't ,I just,I just can't lose you two. I saw you burning I saw him he hurt you."
She was shaking uncontrollably in my arms. I couldn't think of anything to say so I just rubbed her back.

Soon after her sobs died down and I felt relieved, I know she was still sad so I tried something -
" Do you wanna go for a swim, I mean you don't have to, I'm going to get all of this out of my system and ya know you can join me if you want I mean yeah ok imma shush now."
She interrupted my thoughts by asking the question and I smiled softly at her. She was Nervously chuckling at herself ;I stood up and held my hand out to her.
She beamed and took it. Holding tightly as if I would disappear at any moment.
And to be honest, I was afraid I would disappear aswell.
