Ok so I had a dream kind of like this with Jack and Sally and everything and I thought that it would make a really good prequel to my other story 'Love is Scary' please read this and that doesn't matter what order. Just in case you didn't read the summary it is set when Jack and Sally are teenagers and alive!
Sally sat in her room on her black bed. She had her head agenized her wall and was a total wreck. She had dark purple skinny jeans on, a black skin tight v neck shirt with a black tank underneath. She was wearing black converse and had a choker that had a skeleton head on it. She had black makeup on with black nail polish, black biker gloves, and her red hair was parted over to the side and was hanging over her right eyes.
She sat in the dark room with eyeliner and mascara running down her face. She was listening to Marilyn Manson crying. Sally knew this guy Jack and they had been friends since they were six. He dressed similar to her and they had so many things in common. Sadly things grew apart in their tenth grade year.
They didn't have any classes together and never saw each other during school. The only time Sally saw him was when she walked home but he would always look at her funny so she assumed he didn't want to be friends anymore.
At first I didn't really bother her, friends never stay friends forever, right? She was a mess today because when she was walking home she saw him but this time he wasn't alone. He had a girl dressed almost exactly like Sally was but her hair was black and she had something Sally didn't, Jack.
The two walked to Jack's house holding hands. When Sally saw this she felt a pain in her heart that she never felt before. She ran home locked herself in her room and cried her eyes out. She had hard rock music blasting in her ears so that she could take her mind off of things.
At that point Sally's father crashed through her bedroom door. "Sally!" she jumped up and ripped the headphones out of her ears. "I have been calling you!"
"I'm sorry I-I just was umm…" he walked up to her and slapped her across the face.
"Get down stairs and make me dinner." He pointed at the door. Sally got up and cautiously walked down the stairs waiting for him to hit her. Sally's mother died while giving birth to her so she never got to know her. Her dad said that it was Sally's fault so he took his anger out on her. He wasn't always like this, it had just gotten worse when she became a teenager.
Sally finished his dinner then went back to her room. She looked out her window to see Jack through his window. 'Oh Jack, why can't you see that I still love you?' A few tears came down her eyes at this thought.
She sat on her bed and put on My Immortal by Evanescence. Thoughts raced through Sally's mind as she looked at the black bracelet Jack had given to her when they were thirteen. 'Who was that girl Jack was with? What did she want? Why doesn't he ever talk to me? Is he mad? Why can't I talk to him?'
She sat on her bed listening to music for an hour until she had cried all of her tears. She looked out the window to see Jack sitting at his desk. "It's time I talk to him." She sighed. She looked at the clock that said 11:46 p.m.
When Jack and Sally talked a lot they would throw pebbles at the other ones window to get their attention and once they did that they would sit on their windows and talk, and their parents never knew. There houses where only a few feet away from each other.
"I hope this works." Sally said as she picked up a few pebbles and started chunking them at Jack's window. It worked, Jack looked up to Sally and slowly walked up to the window and opened it.
"Yes?" he asked as Sally opened her window.
"Can we talk?"
"Of course."
"Are you mad at me?" There was a long moment of silence.
"No why would I be?" he asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"I don't know, we just stopped talking…"
"Well, I just thought you didn't want to talk." He sat on the window seal as Sally did the same. "So how has life been?" he asked.
"Fine, I guess." She looked down.
"Sally, is everything ok?" he put a hand on her lap.
"Everything…is just….fine." she choked back tears. Jack didn't say anything until he saw the bruise on her face.
"Sally! What's that!?" he rubbed her face. She pulled away from pain.
"It's…..nothing!" she burst into tears. Jack climbed onto her window and wrapped his arms around her.
"Who did this to you?" he cooed.
"It's nothing really I am fine now." She might hate her father but the last thing she wanted to do was go to an orphanage.
"It doesn't look like nothing."
"SALLY!" Sally's dad yelled at her from downstairs. She quickly pulled away from Jack and fell back into her room. She rubbed her head then stood up quickly.
"Umm….you should go….NOW!" she ran downstairs. Jack sighed as her went back into his room and shut his window.
When Sally came back to her room she had another mark on her face. She climbed into bed without bothering to change into pajamas. She cried about Jack and about her father until she fell asleep.
I am super happy about this and I can't wait to write more. Please review and tell me what you think.
