"Jack." (Name) breathed, hand still resting on the frost covered window. Jack's breath caught in his throat. "I-is it really you?" She questioned, the silence making her doubt herself.
"Y-yeah, I'm here." He answered. (Name) sighed in relief.
"Good. Now that I know I'm not crazy," She laughed nervously, "Where did you go?" She asked, still not being able to see him. Jack frowned, he didn't go anywhere.
"I never left. Well, I mean, not for long. The longest I ever left was about a month, maybe two tops." Jack sighed. "I guess you just stopped believing. Which is completely understandable, seeing as how you're in Highschool now, but-."
"Jack." (Name) cut him off. He looked towards her curiously.
"Hmm?" He turned to face her completely, not that she could see this. (Name)'s hand slid down the frosty window.
"What happened to me?" She sighed. Jack was taken aback by the question.
"What do you mean?" He asked, a bit shocked. She had changed over time, yeah, but everyone did. The way she said it, though, it pulled at Jack's heart. "(Name), what are you-?" Jack was cut off by a man coming barreling into (Name)'s room.
(Name) yelped as the man came towards her. His hands wrapped themselves tightly against her shoulders where, Jack had just realized, there were bruises. How did he not notice those before?
"N-Nate, I thought you were out of town." (Name) squeaked, though, it came out more like a whisper.
A vicious smile crept upon the man's face as he leered down at (Name). "Oh, I was. But I thought that I'd come back early and visit my favorite girl. Make sure that you weren't fooling around on me." He growled. "Let's face it. I've got to keep little sluts like you in line." (Name) flinched at his biting comment.
Jack could feel the rage rise inside him.
"I promise you, Nate. I'm not cheating on you. I'm not like you." (Name) stated, but quickly realized her mistake.
"Like me?" Nate laughed. "You couldn't be like me. I'm actually desirable." He gave a nasty smirk. "No one could ever possibly want you. I'm doing you a favor here, doll." He let go of her with a shove. Then throwing a plastic bag towards her. "Here are more appropriate dresses for you. We can't have you going around town showing every man your body. Remember, I know how their minds work. You're safer with me." With that he walked out of the room, slamming the door shut.
Moments later, Jack and (Name) could hear a car door shut and then engine roar to life. He was gone.
