Note from the Author: Hello my little Jackunzel lovelies! Sorry I've been missing so much. I literally work ALL the time. I haven't had a day off in like 18 days and I'm always so exhausted between cleaning up after my boyfriend and dealing with my roommates that I have no energy left at the end of the day to write. I promise that I will keep writing and this story will conclude at some point, but it will take me awhile to get to here. I'm also writing three other stories so bear with me. But anyways! Here we are! Let me know what you think :)

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Chapter 10

"You're not going to the lacrosse party?" Merida asked Rapunzel as she walked into their dorm room and put her gym bag down.

"No", she shook her head. She was a little frazzled after her being with Jack and him consoling her in the way only he could.

"Look", Merida started," I just wanted to say I'm sorry Punz. I didn't mean any of the things I said... I was just mad and I wanted to hurt you because I was upset with myself."

"I know", Rapunzel sighed and went over to Merida's bed to sit next to her," I forgive you."

Rapunzel was tired of being mad. She was exhausted both emotionally and physically. And Merida was her best friend. She could never stay mad at her for long...

"I only wish Hiccup would say the same", Merida frowned and looked down.

"Yeah, well a broken heart can do that to a person", Rapunzel shrugged.

"It's no worse than you dating Flynn and hurting Ana who was your friend", Merida reminded her.

"That's different! I didn't want to date him. We weren't even dating! I was only hanging out with him to make Overland jealous", Rapunzel informed her.

Merida looked completely dumbfounded," Wait - what?"

"I don't want to talk about that yet!" Rapunzel snapped," We are talking about Hiccup and you."

"Rapunzel, it's more complicated than that! I mean, I always thought he had a crush on me and I never was sure if I liked that idea or if it freaked me out. He's like my brother. We've been friends since childhood. Won't it be weird to date him?" Merida brainstormed out loud.

Rapunzel hung her head feeling so defeated all of a sudden. She loved how Jack made her feel and she was falling for him every day, but a part of her just wanted things to go back to normal. This was supposed to be her perfect senior year and so far it's just been filled with complication and drama. She needed to tell Merida. She took a deep breath.

"I want to have sex with Overland", I looked at her from the corner of my eye.

"Don't we all?" Merida snorted.

"No, I'm serious", Rapunzel shook her head," I think I almost did this morning."

Merida's eye's widened so much that Rapunzel laughed.

Rapunzel filled her in on everything. She told her how she was always catching his eyes and their playful flirting. She told her about the night of the concert of how he finally kissed her.

"So that's why he let you go?" Merida asked.

"I think so", Rapunzel told her," I think he just felt bad about the whole thing and let me go."

She told her how she went back that night and he let her in to his office. How he pressed her against the door and how he awakened something inside of her. Of how she never felt so desirable and ready to just give him all of her.

"Gross", Merida jokingly stuck out her tongue.

And then Rapunzel got to Flynn. How she started it out just to be friends with him, but when Jack was starting to get jealous, she kind of fed the flame a little. Of how she felt uneasy with herself for doing it, but couldn't help it. She told her about last night... In the classroom with him.

"Wait, did he-?!" Merida yelled and her cheeks flared up.

"No!" Rapunzel shook her head," No, thank God! Jack showed up. I thought he was going to hit Flynn."

"He's a teacher."

"I don't think he cared in that moment", I shook my head at her.

Merida grinned," What a fucking white knight."

"That's what I thought", Rapunzel laughed.

"So this morning...?"

"Well he brought me back to his room after everything and I slept there... And one thing led to another this morning", Rapunzel grinned at the memory.

"And you almost had sex?"

"I don't know. I think so?" Rapunzel frowned," I don't really have anything to base it off of."

"Holy shit", Merida mumbled and looked at the floor," You almost had sex with Overland."

"I know", Rapunzel laughed.

"This is insane!"

"I know."

"Stuff like this only happens in movies", Merida smiled," To people way cooler than us."

"I know", Rapunzel repeated.

She looked at Rapunzel, in her eyes," Are you- are you going to have sex with him?"

Rapunzel smiled at her," I hope so."

Merida squeled and smiled, but then calmed down," You know, I really am sorry about everything that happened today."

"It's okay", Rapunzel told her, even though it wasn't.

"We're cool?"

"Forever and always", Rapunzel smiled. Merida jumped off her bed and smiled at Rapunzel.

"Good, because we need to get you ready to lose your V-Card!"

"Merida!" Rapunzel laughed and covered her face.

Rapunzel was ecstatic walking to Jack's office the next day. Her life was finally getting on the right track with everything. She had a smokin' hot man who desired her every waking hour of the day, her grades were great, she finally told Ana off, Flynn was no longer in her life, and her best friend knew everything.

She burst through Jack's classroom door and practically skipped to the front of his desk.

"Hello lover", she cooed. He didn't looked up at her though.

"Hello?" she laughed and waved her hand in front of his face," Is anyone there?"

"Not now Rapunzel", he kept his head down.

"What's wrong?" Rapunzel frowned, her heart starting to beat faster.

"Look, I'm just really busy", he said shortly.

"Oh", her eyebrows knit together.

"I don't have time for this."

"Don't have time for what exactly?" she asked with confusion.

He looked up at her and she couldn't tell what his emotion was etched on his face," This. You."

"I don't know what -"

"I'm busy", he snapped again.

And then it hit her. He was tired of her. This was her biggest fear with Flynn and that was exactly what had happened with Flynn. He got tired of her because she didn't put out so he moved on and now Jack was doing the same.

"Is this really happening?" she said more to herself, than to him.

He looked up with a frown, but didn't say anything.

"Are you seriously..." she laughed a short humorless laugh," Are you fucking kidding me! You are just tossing me aside like I'm nothing! You made out with me against this desk!" She slapped it with the palm of her hand. He opened his mouth, but she held up her hand," Don't make any excuses for yourself! I don't want to hear it! You're just going to toss me aside because I won't fuck you! You are the biggest piece of shit I have ever known."

She turned to go, but then thought better of it," You're a dick you know that? You -!"

She turned around and stopped yelling. He was right there when she turned. He grabbed her shoulders and looked at her long before kissing her hard.

"Get off me!" she shoved him backwards," You are just throwing me aside! What? Are you going to move onto the next student? You said you would always be there for me."

She had to turn her back to him so he wouldn't see her cry.

"Rapunzel, that's not what this is about!" he pleaded with her," Please try to understand."

"Bullshit", she sobbed and turned to face him," I know what you're doing. He did that exact damn thing to me! You get tired of me and then just move on."

"Who are you talking about?" he looked at her with confusion," Who's he?"

"Flynn!" she screeched out," Who do you think? He's did the same God damn thing your doing! I didn't put out and you just move on."

"Rapunzel, god dammit!" he grabbed her shoulders and shook her," I would never do that! Black came and saw me."

"What?" she asked him," I don't fucking care about -!"

"STOP!" he yelled at her and she inhaled sharply," He recieved a letter saying I was sleeping with a student."

Fear gripped her heart.

"What?"

He pushed her away and ran a hand through his hair and looked at her deeply. He spoke in a low voice," I don't know how this could have fucking happened."

She looked away. She knew exactly how it had happened.

"I don't want to, but I think we have to cool it", he told her, pain dripping in his voice," I just don't want to get to reckless. I mean, obviously I care about you. You're... God... But I love this job, and you could get expelled, so-"

"I sent it."

"We just..." He kept saying, but then stopped looking at her with confusion," Wait, what?"

She inhaled deeply and with all of her courage said," I sent the letter to Black."

He took an angry step foward," Rapunzel, why the hell would you do that!"

"I did it- I - it was before everything! Before us! I don't know..."

"What the fuck are you talking about?" he hissed and she felt herself cower.

"I was mad at you", her voice so small," It was after the concert... I was made that you gave me a detention."

"I let you fucking go!"

"You let me go after you felt guilty about what you did", she reminded him," You knew I didn't do that prank."

"RAPUNZEL!" he roared.

"I was mad!"

"You're going to make me lose my fucking job for a fucking detention!"

"That was a once in a lifetime oppertunity that you took from me!"

"Are you insane! You came back after the concert like everything was okay", he said loudly.

"Yeah and you rejected me!"

His face fell and he stepped backwards," Is that... Is that what this is about?"

She looked down," I don't know."

He marched forward angerly and snapped her chin up," Someone hurts you and this is how you respond?"

He gave her a moment to respond, but she didn't say anything.

"By, what, trying to ruin someone's life?"

She yanked her chin out of his hand and crossed her arms across her chest.

"This isn't a way normal people respond to getting hurt, Rapunzel!"

"Who are you to tell me what's normal?" she yelled at him," You've been trying to fuck one of your students!"

"Stop it", his jaw clenched and she closed her mouth. "I think you should go."

"Jack -", she tried to reach for him but he shoved her hand away.

He turned from her and hung his head," If this is the kind of person you are..."

"I'm not, Jack, I'm sorry... It was a mistake. Have you never made a mistake?"

"Go, Rapunzel", he said. His voice so quiet she almost didn't hear him.

She let tears fall down her cheeks freely and turned to walk out of the classroom. With one last look, she looked at him and his shoulders were shaking. She wiped away her tear and walked out without another word.

So there it was. Let me know what you thought.

Cadet-of-Deductions: Thank you oh so much loyal reader :)

Ribanoid: I removed 'Switched' because I wasn't happy with it and I act irrational when I get frustrated. I will probably post it back up. I wasn't happy with the last few chapters of it so I decided to get rid of it.
