Chapter Fourteen

I jump awake and look over and I see Jack asleep right next to me. I hug him and just try to calm down. He wakes up and says"are you okay" I say"yeah just had a nightmare about Logan" and Jack says"don't worry it's going to go smoothly". I say" I really hope so I'm so scared Jack the last time I saw him his hands were around my neck trying to kill me". Jack says" I won't let him touch you" I say" I know but I'm still scared" Jack holds me close and kisses my neck and says" I will protect you even if it kills me" I say" you are a vampire you can't die" and I laugh. He says"but I made you laugh so I win". I kiss his chest and say"please don't leave me" he says"I won't leave you". I say"what time is it" he says" 5 am we still have to go to school" I say"yeah. We have to tell Eric and Liam that we are getting our GEDS and I will call at lunch today" Jack says"okay and I will be right there with you. To help you" I say" you are an amazing boyfriend" he says"because I have you". He kisses me and I kiss back he pulls me close to him and he pulls back and says" I love you so much and I won't let anything happen to you" I put my head on his shoulder and say" Thank you and I love you too". He gets up and says"lets go get ready for school". We take a shower and get dressed. I grab our backpacks and give him his and he grabs the keys and opens the bedroom door and Christen says" we have people coming to fix the window" Jack says"thank you make sure they don't touch anything else than the window". He says"yes sir". We walk past him and head to his bike. We get on his bike and head to school. We pull up and Eric jumps and runs towards us. We park and get off I hug him and say" Jack and I are getting our GEDS" Eric says" I know Sun told me yesterday" I say" how did Sun find out" Eric says" I don't know but I'm happy for you guys we would but Liam wants to take me to prom" I say"that's awesome I'm okay not going to prom". We start walking towards the school and I say" Eric I have to tell you something but please hear me out until the end" he stops and says"what". I say"I'm calling Officer Simon at lunch to set up a time to go talk to Logan" he's about to say something but he stops and nods. I continue" Logan called Simon and asked about me and where I was. So I wanted to take the opportunity and meet with him the safest way possible. I'm going to be in a room with him,Jack,Simon,and I and two police officers outside". Eric says" why meet him at all" I say" if I don't go and see him he will track me down and find me his own way and that could be dangerous so I took control of everything and made sure I was safe" he hugs me and says"you have grown so much I'm so proud". I say"thank you but get to class" Eric says"oh shit let's go baby". Liam comes and grabs Eric's hand and they walk in and I say"we have to go tell them we are here and where we will be". Jack says"okay let's go". He puts his arm around me and we walk in and tell them everything and then go outside to the tree and I take out all the work and Jack pulls me onto his lap and he says"I love you baby" I say"I love you too. So I think we should finish the math part before lunch and then after lunch we can work on another topic because our test on Monday and I'm so scared I'm going to fail" Jack says" we can do that baby don't worry we got this" he kisses me and I feel all the nerves just leave my body. He pulls back and I say"thank you" he says"always baby I'm here to help you and love you" I say"I love you too" he says"shall we begin" I say"yeah". I'm about to move and he says"no stay" he grabs my book and notebook and then grabs his. He says"I'm a chair" I laugh and kiss his cheek and say"okay". So we finish the book right at lunch. Our notebooks are halfway full of notes and I sigh and grab the other books and notebooks. I put my head on his shoulder and say" I don't wanna call" Jack says" I know honey but you gotta so we can get past him and leave him in the past". I take a deep breath and take my phone out and bring up Simon's number. Jack puts his arms around my waist and says" I'm right here" I kiss him and he kisses me back. We stay there for a second and I pull back and look down at my phone and push the number.

-End Of Conversation-

A tear falls and Jack says"aw honey" he wipes away the tear and I say"tomorrow at 2" Jack says"baby" he holds me closer and I put my forehead against his jaw and close my eyes. I say"why do you think he wants to see so bad" Jack says" I don't know but I won't let him touch you" I say"thank you but you have to promise me something" Jack says"yes baby" I say" if I say I need out you gotta get me out of there" he says"I promise no matter what I have to do I will get you out of there" I look at him and say" Jack I need to. Please make sure that I won't be stuck alone with that thing again" Jack says"of course nobody can take my baby away from me you are mine". I say" I'm hungry" he says"do you want cafeteria food or somewhere else" I say" I want pizza" he says" okay I will order some and some cheesy bread" I kiss his cheek and say" can you get a root beer for the drink please" he says"of course baby". I get up and stretch and he calls and telling them the order and Eric yells" Zhao!" and runs up I say"shhh he's ordering pizza" Eric says" sorry man" and Liam comes up and puts an arm around Eric. I bend down to put our math books and notebooks away and then grab the English books and their notebooks. I put them to the side of Jack and Jack gets off the phone and says"it will be here in 20 minutes". I say"thank you baby". He says"you're welcome" I say" Eric I see Logan tomorrow at 2 so I'm not coming to school"Jack says" I will go tell the principal and Liam goes with him and Eric and I sit. Eric looks at me and I start crying. He hugs me and says"don't worry everything is going to be okay. Jack is going to be right by you and so is Simon they won't let him touch you" I say"I'm 17 he can legally try to adopt me again" Eric says"you know Simon won't let him have you again and legally you have parents you aren't up for adoption anymore so no he can't". Jack and Liam come back with the food. I say"wanna eat with us" Liam says"we just got back from eating tacos but thank you Zhao". I say"you're welcome" the bell rings and Eric gets up and says" stay strong Zhao I love you brother" I say" I love you too". They leave and Jack sits and opens the boxes and says"aw food" I smile and say" I love you" he says"I love you too". He kisses me and then grabs a slice of pizza. I grab a cheesy bread and bite into it. I take a deep breath. I put it down and grab my English book. Jack says"honey"I say" I will eat later". He puts his slice of pizza down and grabs the book from me and comes in between my legs I say"what are you doing" he puts his head on my chest and says"please eat you can study later" I say"it's hard I used to be starved before a test because if I was eating I was failing". Jack says"honey you do better if you have food on your tummy" I say"I know" he kisses me and licks my lip I open my mouth and he slips his tongue in and I kiss back and he pulls back and says"see that easy just with food" and he laughs. I push him and say"you're gross" I grab the piece of cheesy bread and eat it. He says" but it worked though". I say"shut up and eat, we need to start studying". I ate one slice of pizza and two cheesy breads and started studying. Jack ate 4 slices and 3 cheesy breads and started studying. By the end of school we finished the English book and that means we only have science and history left. We got up and headed to the bike. I say"work time yeah" Jack smiles and gets on the bike and I do too. He starts it and drives to Blue Sky. We get there and we walk in and Sun says"thank god come here Zhao. I need you" I kiss Jack and run to Sun. He says" we have two study groups coming and a table of seven coming so I need your help". I wash my hands and put on my apron and Sun says"Jack! Rain and Mork are upstairs playing video games you can go up there with them"Jack says"okay! I will be up there if you need me" I say"thank you". Jack goes upstairs and people start rushing in and we get to work. Three hours later everybody is gone and I have done all the dishes and tables. I finish cleaning the bathroom. I walk in and Sun says"thank you so much I was stressing out" I say"of course I work here remember" he says"I know thank you". I go behind the counter and start cleaning everything. I say"oh Sun I have something at 2 tomorrow it should be done before 4 but I might be a little out of it". Sun says" it's okay tomorrow we are only open from 9 to 3 because Magnus wants Mork and I to come over for dinner" I say"okay". An hour later we are done and Jack walks down and says"ready to go home" I say"yes. Can I go Sun" he says" of course go have fun you two". I take off my apron and Jack and I walk out and head home. On the way home he pulls over onto another road and rides up the mountain until we get to the top of it. I get off the bike and say"this is beautiful" he says"I wanted to show you this place. I found it a while ago and have been wanting to show you". I turn around and hug him and say"I love you it's so beautiful". He grabs my hands and says" I love you too and tomorrow will not change it". I say"how do you know me so well". Jack says"because I love you". I kiss him and he kisses me back and I wrap my arms around his neck and he wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me closer. We stay there until I can't anymore and I pull back and take a deep breath. Jack says" I keep forgetting that you have to breathe" I laugh and say" I do too". We laugh and Jack says"wanna go home"I say"not yet" I turn around and lean on him. I grab his arms and put them around my hips and say" I wanna stay this moment". He puts his head on my shoulder and says" I'm down" he kisses my cheek and puts his head back on my shoulder. We stay there for a few more minutes just cuddling and enjoying each other's embrace. After a couple more minutes I say"we gotta go home". He says"I know let's go". We get on the bike and he drives us home and he picks me up and carries me to our room. He puts me on the bed and lays on top of me and says" I love you so much Zhao". I say" I love you too Jack". We get up and go take a shower and I put on his hoodie and get into bed and he puts on sweats and gets in. He puts his arms around me and I put my head into his neck. I sigh and say" oh I'm so scared". He kisses my temple and he says"I know baby but I will be with you the whole time and I won't leave you" I say"thank you Jack" he kisses me and I kiss him back. He puts his hand on my face and pulls me closer. I get on top of him and I feel a tear fall down my face and Jack pulls away and says"it's okay baby you will be safe". I lay down and say"thank you". We cuddle and I fall asleep not having any nightmares.
