06.
Now I`m seeing clearly
How I still need you near me
I still love you so
There`s something between us
That won`t ever leave us
There`s no letting go
We had a once in a lifetime
But I just didn`t know it
Till my life fell apart
A second once in a lifetime
Isn`t too much to ask
Jack's Pov…
"Jack what is wrong with your so called new friends?" Becky demanded at me but all I could hear was my heart breaking, I had seen the pain in Molly's face, pain I had caused damn it all to hell. "Jack are you going to talk to me" Becky demanded again.
"Becky just shut the fuck up will you" I shouted at her, she looked at me with the piercing eyes of hers I knew what was coming next before she had said anything.
"Jack do you want Daddy to cut off your money you won't have anything you won't be able to stay here you know that" Becky hissed at me. I hated that her father had agreed to put me through university. I hadn't told anyone about this not even Evan and I was rooming with him. Since my parents had been killed in the car crash three years ago I had nowhere to go, they had left no will, Becky and her family had been amazing to me I knew this but there was no way my feelings for her could be compared to what I felt for Molly. I didn't care if her Dad cut me off I would find funding somewhere else. I had to do something I couldn't leave Molly I was finally in love for real this wasn't just a passing thing like Becky had meant to be all those years ago.
"You know what cut me off! Phone your god damn Father right now and cut me off! I don't give a damn Becky. I've had enough of your bullshit I'm not taking it anymore ok. Just tell your Dad to cut me off and get the hell out of my life" I said Becky was standing there just staring at me.
"Jacky you don't mean it" She said trying to cuddle me.
"You know me well enough to know when I mean something Becky" I said pushing her off me. I reached for my keys which were in my back pocket and practically tore her house key off and forced it into her hand.
"You just need time to think it over" Becky said trying to sound like the innocent victim I had seen this act before I was not going to fall for it anymore. I was about to say something but her phone went off. "Hey Daddy... no I'm not ok Jack told me he doesn't love me he's broken my heart daddy... no Daddy he hasn't hurt me it's just my heart Daddy..." she said trying to fake tears to match with her act of victimization. "Daddy there's nothing you can do just cut him off he says that's what he wants... oh and burn his stuff he doesn't need it" She said she had now got the crazy bitch look in her eyes she knew what was in my stuff.
"Give me the phone Becky" I said trying to remain calm.
"No daddy that's fine I will be home soon" She said hanging up the phone. "Well then Jack all your stuff will be going up in flames you will have nothing I am so good at playing the victim with my Dad it's funny. You know all I have to do is bat my eye lashes and he will give me anything I want. Your life is over Jack you chose to mess with the wrong girl" she spat at me. I tried not to break down to let her get to me. I turned to walk away from her. "Where you going Jack I am not through with you yet" Becky spat at me.
"Yes you are" I heard Evan say beside me. "You get the hell of this campus you're not welcome here" Evan said as he glared back at her. She turned around and walked off fast but Evan and I had heard something.
"Rebecca Martain you didn't hang up properly" I heard Becky's father say in her pocket, she had accidently put him on speakerphone instead of turning the phone off. A smile crept over my face she was going to be in trouble now and I knew that, if I had nothing then at least I knew I wasn't the only one going down in flames. I turned around everyone who was downstairs was staring at me. I started to walk up the stairs with Evan.
"Jack I think you need to tell me a few things" Evan said. I started to tell him everything and he was pretty much filled in when we got back to our room.
"Jack I'm not going to let them get rid of your stuff I swear that's not on" Evan said. "And you can't leave here what about Molly... what about me?" He said as he sat down I felt my phone vibrate, I pulled it out and looked at the call it was Becky's father.
"Hello sir" I said. I didn't catch much apart from the fact that he said he would put my things into storage at the storage depot in town and would send me the key. He said there wasn't anything he could do about the money as Becky had access to the account and she would notice, it looked like I wasn't the only one who had been wrapped around her little finger in her lies and deceit but there was nothing that her parents could do unlike me, I could walk away I had walked away. "Thank you very much and I will try and sort something out I wish the best for you and Mrs. Martain too" I said hanging up the phone.
The rest of the day I spent wondering around campus trying to find a job anything that would help me out. Evan had said he could cover three months of my being here but he would need paying back. Finally I tried the library to see if I could work there and I got accepted. I would be able to work a lot as not many people wanted to work there. I headed back to the dorms and took myself to bed and lay there. Evan brought me something to eat after he had been to dinner with Vikki; Molly was apparently refusing to come out of her room so Vikki took her some food. I tried to write to Molly but I couldn't find the words or where to start so I left it not knowing where to turn, I felt lost without her.
"Did you sleep?" Evan asked as he woke up in the morning? I shook my head. "You should try you have your first shift at the library this afternoon" He said I said I would try. I saw him head out and knew he was spending the day with Vikki. I felt guilty they hadn't gotten their night together because of me and because of Becky. I got a couple of hours sleep before I had to head out to the Library. I paused outside Molly's room hearing her on the phone, I went to knock but stopped myself, I sighed she had probably heard that but right now I didn't care I needed her I needed to tell her everything but I couldn't do it right now I wasn't strong enough to be rejected.
Vikki's Pov…
"Are you going to be ok?" I asked Molly, she hadn't slept and her eyes were red and puffy from so much crying.
"Yeah don't you worry about me Vikki" she said, "I'm just going to sleep today" she said I nodded and gave her a hug.
"Oh and just because you said don't worry it isn't going to stop me from worrying" I said at the door, she smiled weakly at me. "Just so you know" I said before I closed the door and Evan wrapped his arm around my shoulders.
"How is she?" He asked as I kissed his cheek.
"Not good how bout Jack" I said as we walked off and went to the field; Evan had brought some food so we could sit there and not be disturbed. We had come across this field the other day no one ever came down here so it was like our own little patch of heaven, our little secret.
"There's something I need to tell you" Evan said when we reached the field and we were lay next to each other.
"Oh god not you too" I said looking at him, worry trying to wrack itself across my face, he looked at me confused. "You don't have a secret girlfriend, fiancée, wife and family do you" I said staring at him, he laughed.
"No no I aint Jack you know" he giggled. "No that's not funny. It's about Jack though..." he said and carried on to tell me the whole story.
"Oh my god the poor guy to be treated like that for so long and this Becky is an evil bit of skirt let me at her" I said growling. "And Jacks right we never did get our night" I said. I suddenly felt overly hot and steamy and I attacked Evan's clothes wanting him so bad.
We lay next to each other me stroking my fingers down his chest. I was in semi shock at what had just happened but we pulled the blanket that Evan had brought with him over us to preserve a little bit of dignity if anyone had walked past.
"Well it looks like we got our night after all" I giggled kissing him.
"I have never done that before" Evan said kissing me back.
"Which bit the act of exhibition or the having sex bit?" I asked him snuggling close to his side.
"Both" he whispered, I looked at him, he was blushing badly.
"Me neither" I whispered kissing his cheek. "But I am so glad it was with you" I said, he wrapped his arms tighter around me. After a while it got a little cold so we dressed and walked back to the dorms and went to dinner together I was hoping that Molly had gotten some food during the day but I still got a sandwich and a drink for her and took them back to the room.
"Hey girl thanks" Molly said as she accepted the sandwich and drink. "Something's different about you Vikki, there's a glow about you" She said, she looked at me with one eyebrow raised.
"I'm going for a shower" I said as I grabbed my towels and shower gear and hurried from the room before she figured it out. I let the water cascade over me I felt tingly when it hit places that Evan had gotten acquainted with in the field but a smile spread itself across my face and then I couldn't stop giggling. As I dried myself off and wrapped the towel around me I headed back to the bedroom.
"Hey girl" Evan said walking up behind me. "Damn if I had been a few minutes quicker from going downstairs I would have sneaked into the girls showers and had my wicked way with you again" He said sliding his hand through the fold of the towel onto my skin.
"Evan the field is one thing but in the hall of the bedrooms is pushing it" I said as I reluctantly pulled away from him. "What time is Jack working till?" I said as I pushed him against his door teasing his lips with my own.
"Late about 11" Evan breathed at me.
"You in there give me 10 minutes" I said as I went into my room. Molly was standing by the window looking out she spun around when I came in.
"You and Evan you had sex" She said, I blushed and hurried to dry myself. "I knew I would figure it out" She giggled at me. "Oi you high five" she said as she high-fived me. She then noticed the lingerie on my bed, she winked and went and lay down again putting her mp3 on. I threw on my lingerie and told her I would be back before grabbing my coat and walking across the hall to Evan's room.
"Hey Bourne told you I would be back" I said. He walked up to me and pushed my coat off revealing my lingerie.
"Damn girl!" He said as he led me over to the bed. "I love you" He said as he kissed me.
"I love you too Evan" I said, I meant it too. Although I more than loved him I adored him.
Jack's Pov…
I finished at the library and headed back to the dorms. I heard noises coming from our room so I left Evan and Vikki to it and headed back down to the canteen. I got myself a coke and turned around to see Molly sitting in one corner she had her mp3 on, her eyes closed and was nursing a bottle of coke. I needed to talk to her so I headed over but she saw me coming and got up to leave.
"Molly please" I said begging her to stay.
"You I don't want to see" She said. I reached out and grabbed her hand. "Jack Swagger you better let me go right now" She hissed at me.
"Please I need to explain to you, please stay! You have half a bottle of coke to finish give me till you finish that and if I haven't changed your mind by then I will leave you alone and never speak to you again" I said.
"Fine Jack but this better be good" She said as she sat opposite me at a table. I started to tell her everything starting from the day I was born to now.
Molly's Pov…
I didn't want to say but I reluctantly sat down, I had till the last of my coke. I took a big swig when Jack started to talk but I forgot about it fairly soon after. When he told me about his parents I cried, he reached over and took my hand and I let him. The story about Becky just made me so angry how anyone could treat the Jack I knew like that. I wanted to kill her I actually wanted to kill someone and that thought scared me but I knew if she ever came near to Jack again I wouldn't be able to control myself.
"Well that's it" Jack said, I stood up as he tried to say something else.
"Don't talk Jack" I said as I pushed his chair back a little and uncrossed his arms I rested my lips on his as I straddled his lap and intensified the kiss.
"I'm so sorry I hurt you" Jack said as we rested our foreheads together.
"Jack take me to bed or lose me forever" I whispered using one of my all-time favorite film lines. He stood up and carried me to the lifts and within minutes we were in my room fumbling with clothes not caring that we looked like shit just longing to be one.
"Who would have thought this morning we would be almost strangers and now were together again" Jack said as I lay down on the bed.
"Jack next time just be honest with me from the start oh and never hurt me again" I said as I held out my hands for him I pulled him down onto the bed onto me.
"I love you and I always will I have never felt this way about anyone before and I mean that" He said as he pushed into me.
"Jack don't talk just be one with me" I said as I leaned up and kissed him deeply. "Oh and Jack you will probably get bored of me saying this but Jack Swagger I love you" I said as our kiss intensified as the beat started and I meant it and I always would.
Where you and I will be together once again
we'll be dancing in the moonlight
just like we used to do
and you'll be smiling back at me
only then will I be free
when I can be, where you are
~ The End ~
