Come back, please Jackypoo.

I’m in class baby.

So? You have my car keys. My parents won’t be home until around 3, and even when they come home they won’t care.

What about your brother?

I’ll see if he can go to Jason’s. If not, then you can always go back and pick him up.

I’m on my way.

I sigh in relief and relax into bed. Ever since I became Jack’s girl, I’ve felt much more confident. That kiss that we shared earlier? I started. And I did not want that to end. Jack makes me feel unbroken.

But I need him now.

I feel like I’m about to lose it. I want to cut so badly after what happened today. All I can think about is the feeling of a cold blade as it slices across my skin, parting so blood can flow out. I need that release. The only person I can ever see stopping me from doing it is Jack, so I need him. Now.

Before I realize it, my feet have carried me into the bathroom. I look into the mirror at my wild hair and crazy eyes. Carefully, I brush my hair avoiding the staples. I put the brush back on the counter when something shiny catches my eye. I look to see my brothers razor sitting on the counter top, glistening, begging for me to use it. I pick it up carefully and examine the blades. They are so sharp and so perfect. It looks like a brand new razor.

I start pacing the bathroom floor with the razor in my hand. I perch myself on the edge of the bathroom tub and lift my shirt up. Just as I press the razor to my stomach, Jack comes barging in.

“EMMA STOP.” Jack yells and strides to me.

“I’m so sorry.” I look up at him in humiliation. “I’m just scared.”

Jack grabs the razor out of my hand and scoops me up. Immediately, I start bawling as he carries me back to my bedroom. He pulls back the comforter and lays me in my bed gently. I watch as he reaches over to my iHome and hooks up his iPod, playing an unfamiliar tune. He lies next to me in bed and cuddles us under the comforter. I rest my face on his chest. I sniffle and kiss his chest lightly.

“Why?” Jack slips his arms around my waist.

“To be totally honest, I wanted to cut. I needed to. All of this stress with Sasha and the hospital is just too much for me.” I admit quietly.

“And how are you feeling right now?”

“Still a little anxious.”

Jack pulls me on top of him and pulls the cover tightly over us. I rest my chin on his collarbone, looking up at him. Jack’s fingertips wander aimlessly under my shirt on my back trying to soothe me. I relax and inhale Jack’s scent.

“And now?” He murmurs.

“A little better.” I smile.

I inch my way up to Jack’s lips slowly, not wanting to seem too eager. I rest my forehead on his letting our noses touch. I kiss him lightly, wanting to pick up where we left off. Jack catches on pretty quickly.

Jack laces his hands together at the small of my back pulling me closer. My mouth parts and a small moan escapes my lips. Jacks breathing picks up matching the speed of mine. I’ve never wanted something so bad in my life. I’m a virgin and plan to stay that way for a while, but why not have a little fun?

My hands wander down Jack’s shirt and play with the hemline. His breathing catches and I feel a stiffening in his pants. I smirk against his kiss and he groans.

“This is fun and all, but where is this going?” Jack asks me behind his dark eyelashes.

“I’m still a virgin.” I blurt out, blushing immediately.

Jack chuckles and carefully places a strand of my hair behind my ear. “I am too. Don’t worry.” He kisses my lips tenderly but softly.

I collapse onto Jack’s body and cuddle close to his chest.

“Do you still want to cut?” He murmurs while stroking my back.

“Not right now. More hungry and tired then anything else.” I yawn.

Jack sits up slowly, keeping me attached to his body. He stands up and I wrap my arms and legs around his thin frame. As Jack carries me to the kitchen, I hold on tight to him. I swear, just when I think he can’t get anymore perfect, he does. I’ve never been treated like this before. Jack makes my heart throb and my stomach flutter with butterflies. He makes me feel safe. Jack sets me down on a kitchen counter lightly and turns to the fridge.

“What do you want Emmabear?” Jack grins at me.

“Waffles. Two of them.” I groan and stretch.

He reaches into the freezer, finds the waffles, and pops two of them into the toaster on the counter. Jack turns and strides towards me. I continue to sit on the counter, but wrap my legs around Jack’s waist.

“You’re the best.” I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him in for a kiss. “I’m so glad I have you.”

“Are you sure?” Jack mumbles against my shoulder.

“Of course. Why wouldn’t I be?” I pull back from his embrace to look him dead in the eye.

“If it wasn’t for me, none of this would have happened. Sasha wouldn’t have hurt you so badly and you wouldn’t have had to go to the hospital.” I watch as Jack’s eyes drop lower and lower to the ground as he talks.

I grab his chin and angle his face towards me. “Jack. If it weren’t for you, I’d be sitting alone in my room. I would still be cutting. Sasha would still beat me up and hate me. Now that I have you, I have a best friend. I have a boyfriend. I’m learning to trust people again. I’m happy with you.” I touch my lips to Jack’s.

He smiles softly and kisses me right as the waffles pop up. He walks over and grabs the waffles, placing them on a paper plate.

“Syrup?” Jack asks me.

I shake my head and hop off the counter. I grab the plate out of Jack’s hands and walked back to my room, signaling for him to follow me. We sit criss-cross on my bed and turn on my xbox. I hand Jack the remote and tell him to play whatever he wants while I eat.

Everything is kind of silent as Jack picks Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. I eat my waffles in silence, lost in thought. All I can think about is Jack and how he must feel. I never thought of it that way until he told me. I still have no idea what to do about Sasha. I’m so scared to go back to class. I need Jack to stick by me the whole time, but I’m still going to worry about Chris. I love him so much and there’s no way I will let him get hurt.

I finish my waffles and set the plate on the floor. As I crawl off my bed, I glance back at Jack who is 100% invested the video game.

Boys.

So easy to please.

I waltz over to my pajama drawer and pull out a pair of batman pants, two sizes too big, and a tank top, two sizes too small. Perfect. Jack isn’t really paying attention so instead of changing in the bathroom, I change behind a closet door. I pop back out and see Jack staring at the closet door.

“Oh shit. Could you see me?” I freeze.

“No but I wish I had.” He smirks.

I grin and straddle his lap. Jack strokes my calves softly and nips at my neck. I tangle my fingers in his hair as he leaves little love marks near my collarbone. Just as Jack’s mouth starts to travel a little lower, I hear the front door open.

“Emma? Who’s here?” I hear my mom call.

I groan and get off of Jack. I waddle out to the living room and give my mom a kiss on the cheek. “It’s Jack. You met him at the hospital didn’t you?”

“Oh the boy with the strange hair. He seemed sweet enough. I’m happy he was there for you. He talked about you like he has a crush on you.” My mom winks at me as she sets her purse on the counter.

“Mom..he’s my boyfriend.” I laugh nervously.

She freezes and looks back at me. “You have a boyfriend?”

I nod and she smiles softly. “I’m really happy with him mom.”

She shakes her head slowly and gives me a small hug. “Well I’m glad. You know our rules, or really, lack there-of. He’s more than welcome to spend the night.”

“I know mom. Thank you.” I smile at her.

I prance back in the room to find Jack hiding under my covers. Slowly, I tiptoe up to the covers and pounce on him. He freaks out and flails a little. I giggle and wait for him to crawl out of the covers.

“Does your mom mind that I’m here?” He asks.

“No you goof. But you need to go pick Chris up. Please make sure he’s safe.” I wince at a sudden pain on the back of my head. Oh yeah, the staples.

“Alrighty. I’ll be back beautiful.” Jack says as he tucks me under the covers.

I kiss his lips lightly and smile as I watch him leave my room. How the hell did I get so lucky?

I guess good things really do come to those who wait.
