Body

Part One

Jake lay back on her bed resting her head on the pillow she had propped against the wall. So much had happened in the last five months. She had 'enrolled' in Rawley Boys to get her mother's attention. She hadn't wanted to give the school a chance, she hadn't wanted to meet people, after all what was the point? She'd be leaving just as soon as Monica Pratt, the woman who called herself Jacqueline's mother realized she didn't know anything about her daughter. But things hadn't gone to plan. If they had 'Jacqueline' wouldn't be still laying in a Rawley Boys dorm room thinking about the reasons why she was thankful her mother was so wrapped up in herself.

Hamilton

Everything came back to the boy who with the most piercing blue eyes she had ever seen. The boy who had become her best friend and more. The first person to know her secret. Hamilton and 'Jake the boy' had shared so much and became so close. Eventually all that even lead to a kiss. Jake laughed. That most probably wouldn't have happened under normal circumstances, but she was thankful for it anyway. That moment led to her telling Hamilton all about her secret and eventually led to the many conversations, moments, touches and kisses they had now shared as a couple.

Jake got off her bed and walked over to the window. She hated nights like these. It always went the same way. She's lay in bed thinking about how much she wanted Hamilton with her, how much she wanted to be able to stare into those deep blue eyes of his and she'd end up falling asleep feeling sad and depressed. She looked out the window. The Rawley grounds looked beautiful at night. The stars twinkled above the empty field and Jake picked a star and wished Hamilton could understand how she felt.

Jake sighed and blew a kiss goodnight to the stars hoping they would deliver it to Hamilton considering that she couldn't, and then she sat back down on her bed and slipped under the covers. She was about to close her eyes when she heard the slightest tap on her door. At first she thought she was hearing things, but then she heard it again. She got back out of bed thinking that shed never get to sleep at this rate. She opened the door and was pushed back inside by Hamilton. He had a sly grin on his face. He closed and locked the door once he was inside. Jake was standing near her bed trying to put her thoughts together. "Ham" she was cut off before she could even ask what he was doing there. Hamilton wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her, as if he hadn't seen her for months.

"God, baby I've missed you so much!"

"I've missed you too, but what are you doing here? Your Mom and Dad will kill you if they find out you aren't at home"

Hamilton sat down on the side of Jake's bed, still with the sly grin on his face. "Baby, you said you missed me." He patted his lap and Jake went over and sat on his lap, wrapping her legs around his back. "mmm I did" She put her arms around his neck and kissed his lips quickly.

"Well what if I said that I came to steal you away" Jake looked at Hamilton, almost losing herself in his eyes. She couldn't believe how much she loved him, or that it was even possible that she did after such a short amount of time. She knew she had never felt this way about anyone, ever, and she loved how comfortable she always felt with him. He seemed to always put her ahead of himself.

"What? Like one of those knight in shining armor types, riding a white horse?" Hamilton watched Jake's face as she laughed at the idea of Hamilton riding a horse. He had to admit the idea was rather amusing, but he was serious about this and was too eager to tell Jake what he was going to do, to join in with the joke. "Jake, I'm serious. I want you to come with me, tonight. Now, actually." Jake saw that he was serious and stopped laughing. "But Ham, what about your dad. He'll kill us if we leave campus. Not to mention what the guys will say if they see us leaving." She lifted her hand and placed it on the side of his face. Hamilton moved against it. Even her slightest touch had such a large impact on him. "You know what they'll say baby. There is nothing I want to do more than go somewhere with you, but you're the dean's son. You have to think of the reputation it'll create for you."

Hamilton tightened his grip on her waist, grabbing her attention to what he was about to say.

"Jacqueline I love you. I don't care what the others have to say, especially not tonight. As for dad, he wont care. Its fall break tomorrow. He'll just assume I've gone somewhere with Scout or Will, and I'll let him know where I am once we decide how long we're going to stay. I don't care about any of it baby, except you. All you have to do is tell me that you want to come with me. Just say yes, and we'll go."

Jake looked into his eyes one last time, and smiled. "Yes"
