Never Letting Go; Three

Never Letting Go; Chapter Three

Gracie P.O.V

Jack and I just sat there starring at each other until one of the guys started to feel akward and spoke up at the table. "Hey Gracie," I looked up to see the boy from the hallway. At least I thought it was from our table.

"hi," I said turning my attention to him.

I felt Jacks glare, and heat rushed to my cheeks. I had no idea why. The boy leaned across the table toward me, "what class you go next?"

Jack answered for me, "she has gym."

I nodded smiling over at Jack hoping to calm him down so this didn't turn into a fight. After all, it was only my first day, and things were already moving fast. "so do i, i'll see you there." he winked at me and left the table.

"Jackass." Alex said.

I looked over at Alex, "who is that?"

"That," Alex said starring at him, "is Corey Jones."

"Sounds like a player." I said.

"he is." Jack said.

"plus hes always trying to be better than Jack at everything," Zack said.

"thats not hard to do," I joked trying to lighten the mood.

Jack glared at me. "Just kidding Jack," I said laughing a little.

The bell rang. I stood up, "come on you boys lets get going!"

They all got up and we walked to our next class, Jack was quiet until we were alone walking to gym at least I was determined that was going to happen. "whats the wrong," I asked concerned.

"nothing," he said looking away.

I stopped him with my arm and put my hand on his cheek forcing him to down at me, "i don't believe you."

Jack starred into my eyes.

"nothing," I said avoiding eye contact.

I was so upset over Corey talking to her and already trying to take her away. Gracie stopped me and put her hand on my cheek. My instant reaction was to look into her eyes. "i don't believe you," she said.

I felt my self leaning closer to her, i'm not even sure if I was doing this kissing a girl I just met today. But I leaned in and kissed her more passionate than I ever had with any other girl, and as unreal as this sounds, she was kissing me back. Until I felt a tear drop land on my cheek. Oh, God she was crying. I pulled back, WHAT HAD I DONE? I've ruined it now, shes going to never talk to me again. "I can't do this," she whispered.

She wiped her tears, and I wished nothing more than to wipe them away. But she was already walking away. JACK, your a dumbass.

Gracie P.O.V

Jack leaned in and kiss me, and I couldn't resist kissing him back. I think our chemistry was just colliding and we couldn't help it. We were full out making out when I really started thinking about my last boyfriend and what he did to me. I couldn't hold the tears backs and they kept falling. Jack stopped kissing me, and I pulled my face back. "I can't do this," I whispered wiping the tears.

I walked into the girls locker room quickly, leaving Jack behind. Feeling terrible what I had just done. I went to the bathroom first and cried myself out. Girls were starting to go into the gym, so I went to find the teacher. It was a guy, a very perverted one at that. He told me I wouldn't have to start till tomorrow. I was glad about that, because I was certainly not ready to be physical today. I saw Jack not dressed in gym clothes, go figure this bad boy would take a no dress. I walked over to him, wanting to tell him that it wasn't him. I sat down next to him. "i'm sorry." we both said at the same time.

I smiled a little, "its not your fault."

"yeah," he said not believing it.

"its my first day here Jack, and i'm not ready for another relationship. Especially since my last relationship..." I gulped, "was heart shattering."

"do you like me?" Jack said nevously.

"yeah, i do, I just," I felt the tears coming on again and almost choked out the rest, "i can't do this now."

I made sure to emphasize the now part. Because I did like him, and I was possibly thinking of dating him, in the future though. Jack nodded, "okay."

I put on a fake smile, "thanks jack."

I put one arm around him and squeezed and he did the same. The rest of class Jack told me a bunch of jokes that had me laughing on the floor, and all about his friends. AND his band. I had to admit that was a turn on that he was in a band. Hopefully they were decent. Corey didn't say hi to me at all, which I think made Jack a little bit more happy. When the bell rang Jack and I walked together to my locker. "don't you have to get your stuff?" I asked.

"yesh, I should go," he said, "but before I do give me your phone."

I took my phone out of my bag and we switched phones. I entered my name Gracie and put in my phone number. Jack took a little longer than me and we switched. "bye," he said.

I gave him a quick hug, having to get on my tippy toes to reach and he hugged back.

I shoved a bunch of stuff in my bag and put my earphones and walked threw the hallways and out the door. It was still chilly, damn maryland weather. I sighed and clutched my bag tighter to me for warmth. I walked quicker to my house than I had before. When I got home I went straight to the shower to take a nice hot shower. After that i did some of my homework, too bored to finish it all. Dad came home early, and the bitch from hell hadn't got home yet, so my dad wouldn't ignore me. I ran down stairs my hair still wet. "hey dad!" I said.

"hey honey, have a good day," he said looking threw the one envolope we got today.

"yeah, it was okay, I made some friends." I said.

"thats good, they're free to come over anytime they want." dad said.

Dad always let me have friends over. whenever. But, i believed he had alternatives to it. I think he just wanted me to be busy with them, so he wouldn't have to be a real dad. It made me sad that he did this, but i understand how much I reminded him of mom. So I never said anything. After talking for a few more minutes the conversation died. I went to my room and decided to text Jack. I went to find his number. Jackaroo. Ha, he made up his own nickname. Little fucker took away my job.

to; Jackaroo

meanie. :P you took my nickname job away.

A few minutes later I got one back.

to; Gracie

to; Jackaroo

to; Gracie

to; Jackaroo

you boring little boy!

"Dinner," I heard my step-mother call.

"skipping," I yelled down to her.

I was tired from this long day. It felt like I was at school for years. Of course, first days were always that way. Oh, well tomorrow would be fun. My phone buzzed.

to; Gracie

you know you like it that way (;

to; Jackaroo

sure i do, I'm going to bed. night, jackass.

I laughed silently at my nickname for him, and turned my phone off. I changed into pajama's and turned off the light. I found my way through the darkness to my covers and snuggled into them. When I woke I was sweating all over and felt something cold touch me. I screamed. I looked around franticly and saw nothing. It nothing, I told myself. I put my head back on the pillow and went back to sleep, dreamless. Scared to death of the dream returning to me.

 so, thats chapter 3.  I was going to post yesterday, but I got a little aggitated with this chapter. So I waited. I hope this isn't completing boring. I can promise a good chapter 4 so look for it. It going to be killer amazing.
