Jack's POV
I walked into the room to find Kat already asleep. I climbed into the bed and thought about all that had happened in the past 24 hours. I turned on my side to look at Kat's sleeping form. I sat up to get a better look, and she rolled over. Holding my breath, I slowly lowered myself back onto the bed. As I laid there, I got a better look at her face. The moon shone on her face, and it gave off a beautiful glow. Her lips were slightly parted, and her eyes were lightly closed. There was a peaceful calm look on her face, but then it changed. Her breathing came quicker and she started turning around. I didn't know what to do, I thought she was having a seizure!
"Kat! Kat whatta ya doin? Wake up, Kat it's alright I'm heah!" I called to her and she stopped rolling, but she was shivering. Its tha damn blankets…a dog wouldn't even use 'em! I looked from Kat, to my bed and sighed. I grabbed my blanket and carefully laid down next to her. I spread the blanket over us, and put my arms around her, smiling as I felt her body relax.
"Jack…" she mumbled before sighing. I closed my eyes, and fell asleep listening to her breathing.
Kat's POV
Wow, it's awfully warm in here. I wonder if it just gets cold at night. That's probably it, the house gets drafty because the sun's gone. Ugh, I guess I have to get up and go greet the boys…why can't I move my arms? Oh my, who is this! I opened my eyes, and took in Jack's sleeping form next to me. I looked at our position, his arms protectively wrapped around me, and our legs tangled up.
"Oh!" I gasped, and flew off the bed. Jack quickly sat up, and laughed as he saw me sitting on the floor, my face bright red.
"Whatta ya doin? Oh, don't worry bout last night. Youse was just havin a nightmare is all, sos I tried ta wake ya up. Ya calmed down, but youse was shiverin, so I'se just though I'd warm ya up. Guess I fell asleep, sorry bout that." He was staring at me with a strange expression. I stood up and brushed myself off with as much dignity as I could muster.
"We should probably get started, I mean I do have a lot to learn" I turned and walked down the steps, only to be greeted by Race.
"Heya Kat, hows it goin? You and Jack-y boy have a good time last night? I went in dis morning ta see if youse was up but then I saw what was goin on and..ya know.. just decided ta leave before youse woke up and things got awkward." He winked at me and smiled, but one look over my shoulder made him turn around and walk the other way.
"Hey, um can I talk ta ya real quick? Here let's go up to the roof." It was Jack. Funny how just looking in his eyes made my heart speed up. I found myself staring at him longer than I intended to, and quickly snapped out of reverie. I followed him out the window, and up the fire escape. We stood facing each other, not saying anything. Not knowing what else to do, I turned around and walked to the edge of the building. Everyone in the streets below was busy preparing for their day, and the sun was casting a pink
and orange glow over the city. The skyline of the buildings stood out against the light sky, and I stood mesmerized. I was so lost in my thoughts I didn't hear Jack walk up behind me. He was so close I could feel his breath tickling the back of my neck, sending shivers up and down my spine.
"Kat…" he whispered. I went to face him, but my knees went weak. I went to grab the railing, but missed. I felt myself falling forward, and I closed my eyes.
