Here's the second chapter! I hope you all didn't hate the first chapter too much! I know it was boring, and there was no talking in it, which sucks, but these first few chapters will come quickly, which makes it go by a bit better. Jack and Jamie will soon be awesome together, it's just gonna take a couple chapters! I promise the wait won't be TOO horrible. Anyways, onto the next chapter!
Five Years Old.
"Nooooo! Mommy, I don't want to go!" Jamie's voice came out in a shrill cry as his mother tried to get him out the door and into the car. He was dressed in nice clothes, ready for his first day of school; kindergarten. Jack was sitting on the fence, watching the small boy make a fuss. He had a small smile as he thought it was quite cute.
Young Jamie was scared of being somewhere without the comfort of his parents; something all young children did, Jack supposed. It still felt odd to think about someone scared to be on their own for a couple hours, when he himself had been on his own for over three hundred years.
Jack wasn't sure when visiting the small boy had become a habit, but he had a strange fascination with Jamie and his family. They just seemed so perfect; so happy. Jack loved watching them because it didn't seem to matter when he stopped by, the family was happy; having fun. They were perfect, and Jack loved them. They were his secret family, one he loved to pretend to be a part of.
Sometimes, when Jack was feeling especially lonely, he would stop by the Bennett house and pretend that he was right alongside them, enjoying a nice dinner cooked by his mother and laughing over jokes their dad made. He would even make up conversations, since they never left the window open so he could hear what they were really talking about.
In reality, Jack was somewhat jealous of Jamie. He got this perfect life, the one Jack wanted. He watched almost every week, pretending to be part of their life, when in reality; none of them could ever see him. And whenever he would realize this, he would fly off in a hurry, tears stinging his eyes.
Jack's mind returned to the small boy as his mother picked him up to put him in the car. It seemed that Jamie had given up fighting when his mother promised to stay with him for a bit. Jack chuckled at how cute the boy instantly agreed at that.
The silver haired boy got up to leave and let them enjoy the day when he caught something out of his eye. Turning back to the family, his eyes widened in shock and he went still. Little, five year old Jamie was waving at him. Jack felt like all the air was kicked out of his lungs. The little boy saw him. He saw him.
Sorry for another short chapter : (
