I Knew You Were Trouble
Cahpter 16
Jack’s pov
I woke up to voices near my bedroom. I was certainly awake, but my eyes weren’t open. They were still closed and next to Elaina’s neck. Oh, Elaina and how I loved being with her right now. Not because I was sleeping with her or because I was in bed with her. No, not at all, but because I get to call the most gorgeous human being that I’ve ever laid eyes on, my girlfriend. As I left my own dream land of llama and koala babies I listened to the voices near my room. I could hear my mom talking to someone. It got closer and closer then louder and louder. “They look so cute together. We can’t wake them up” the undetectable voice said. “She’s sleeping with him already. How long is this one going to last?” Mom had a sickening tone in her voice. She didn’t like Holly and probably didn’t approve of Elaina sleeping with me already. From where she was she probably couldn’t see who it was. When Elaina came over before my mother loved her. She was so polite, and nice. Now she was thinking she was a onetime thing. I opened my eyes to find my mother and brother standing in my doorway. “You guys aren’t very quiet at such a…early time in the afternoon” I paused as I stopped to look at the time. “I wasn’t aware you were in a relationship with someone new already Jack” my mother tried playing like I didn’t already hear her earlier conversation. I swung my legs out of my covers and got up quietly as to not wake Elaina. “Its Elaina mom” I whispered as I pulled her out of my room and closed my door.”She’s perfect. You know that she’s far from what Holly was like”.
Her face seemed to soften and when she spoke she didn’t have such a harsh tone,” She’s a very sweet girl, Jack. Don’t hurt her” my mother warned me. “I promise mom I have no intentions in hurting her”. She looked at me with a stern look then turned away to walk back down the stairs. I went back in my room to see her still asleep. Instead of waking her up I let her sleep while I texted Alex and played some games on my phone.

When I woke up Jack was sat up next to me typing furiously. “What’s up?” I asked tiredly. “Oh umm nothing texting Alex” he said not once moving his sight from his phone. “Okay then. Would you mind giving me a ride home?” I asked quietly. He nodded while still texting furiously and grabbed his coat, shoes and keys. I then followed him to his car. We both go in, but he didn’t start it. Five minutes we sat as he texted. “Any day now Jack” I said grabbing his attention for at least a moment. He nodded then put his phone in the cup holder before starting the car.
“Jack! Would you stop texting already” I raised my voice. I wasn’t one to scream. I wasn’t one to raise my voice either. He was texting while he was driving barley looking at the road. Twice he almost ran a stop sign if it weren’t for me. “What’s going on that you HAVE to be texting?” I asked. He mumbled something and continued to text. “Stop this car right now” I demanded. He then noticed me and followed as I told him. “What?” he asked almost as furious as his texting was. “Well first of all I don’t want to die” I grabbed his phone and put it down my shirt. Like that was going to stop him. “Second, what is so important that you must risk both of our lives?” I was nearly screaming. This is so unlike me. He was just lucky his car hadn’t caught on fire yet. He seemed at loss for words. Instead of answering or demanding his phone back, he started to drive again.
We then made it home safely and without any accidents. The whole time I could feel the buzzing that was coming from my shirt. Each time it buzzed he would look directly at the bump where his phone lay in my shirt. I would then glare at him making him move his focus to the road. I got out of the car and grabbed my clothes from yesterday, also making a mental note to give Jack his many pairs of sweats back. After I shut the door harshly he stomped over to me ready to dive his hand down my shirt to get his phone. “No, you’re going to tell me who was so important that you had to be texting them while you were driving” I crossed my arms on top of his phone. He sighed dramatically and mocked me. Is he fucking serious? “You know what have your phone back. Just don’t expect any messages from me” I fished the phone out of my shirt roughly handing it over before stomping inside my house. Instead of slamming the door dramatically I closed it swiftly but quietly as to not wake poor Willow. “Elaina” Kaitlin called from the top of the stairs. “I’m here” I called back walking to meet her at the bottom of the staircase. “I could hear you yelling from upstairs. What happened?”
I then went on to explain how beautiful the night was and our fabulous fail of a sandcastle. Then I went on about this morning and the events that happened a whole five minutes ago. “You could always text your brother. See what’s going on. Maybe Holly is so upset that she’s crawling back to him already”.
“That’s not possible. She said we’d be a cute couple. She said we were friends”
“She could have lied. She could have wanted a way to make you trust her”
“I don’t know Kaitlin” right then Willow decides to announce she’s awake with a siren like wail. I jog up the stairs to hush the baby while Kaitlin started making her bottle for lunch.
~5:00 p.m. that night~
Five whole hours Kaitlin and I sat around playing with Willow and watching TV. Cassadee and Jane popped in about 2 hours ago to take care of Willow while Zack took Kaitlin on a date. I continued to sit on the couch sulking in Jack’s sweatpants. “Maybe you should go over there and talk to him” Cassadee suggested as she bounced the sleeping baby that was in her arms. Maybe she’s right. I should just go over there and talk to him. I mean I’ve barley had any relationships at all. This is still new in a way. I grabbed a coat and my key’s before walking out the door and into my car.
It felt as though it didn’t take nearly as long to get from my house to his. I slowly drove to a stop outside his house, right in front of his window. I can do this, I told myself over and over. As I chanted the motto to myself I could see light out of the corner of my eye. Looking in the direction of Jack’s room I saw his light was on. Faintly I could make out his shadow propped up on his bed. Then another shadow came in, one with long hair at that. It wasn’t his mother because she has short hair and it wasn’t his sister. She was away at college. That means it could only be…no. No, no, no, no oh hell no. Holly was in his room. Right now I was lucky my car didn’t burst into flames. Acting on pure anger I got out of my car and walked towards his driveway until I fumbled over a rock. It was no pebble and definitely not a boulder. Perfect. I stood right in front of his window, my arm pulled back ready for a perfect aim. Then I threw it hearing it smash through his window. Now scared I darted for my car taking off in the opposite direction I wanted. At least it got me somewhere away from here.
