Chapter 12
Rapunzel felt like she was going crazy. She was constantly going between being furious at Jack and hating him to wanting to run into his arms and begging him to have her again.
But she refused. She was not going to be that girl who needed a guy to make her happy or make her life complete. She was completely fine before she met him and she will be fine now. At least that's what she kept telling herself.
It had been three days since her and Jack's confrontation and everyday she could feel it hurt a little less, however, only slightly less. She felt like a gaping hole was left in her heart and nothing could help. Not even Merida, Hiccup, or her new friend Nod.
She knew Nod had feelings for her, but she hadn't been returning any of it. She didn't want to get his hopes up or make the same mistake she made with Flynn. Having him around, though, was helping her a lot. He was funny and nice, and it didn't hurt that he was easy on the eyes. He was just a pleasure to be around and Rapunzel needed that right now.
She wasn't sure where her and Jack were right now, but she didn't want to be the first one to cave. He didn't even look at her in class and when he did happen to glance at her, she looked away. She caved only once and he didn't even want to talk to her. She gave up after that.
Rapunzel was currently zoning out in Jack's class when Merida poked her side," Are we doing the talent show tonight?"
"Huh?" Rapunzel snapped back into reality.
"The talent show?" Merida pulled out the flyer," Remember? Are you doing it?"
"I don't know", Rapunzel shrugged," I don't think I want to preform in front of anyone right now."
"Rapunzel, I know you're hurting, but you have to move somewhat on with your life", Merida told her.
"You're so understanding", Rapunzel rolled her eyes and stared holes into Jack's back as he was writing on the board their homework for the day.
"Punz, I understand it completely, but I am your best friend and I order you to start getting better", Merida ordered her with such authority Rapunzel couldn't help but laugh. Her laughter caught the attention of Jack and he turned to face her.
"Is something funny Miss Corona?" he raised an eyebrow. Rapunzel stalled for a moment. This was the first time he had spoken to her at all.
"Punz", Merida whispered and nudged her side.
"Uh, uh...", Rapunzel stammered," No. No not at all."
"Then please pay attention", he eyed her and Rapunzel thought she saw something else in his eyes, but she didn't want to get her hopes up.
"Yes...", she nodded and just as he was turning back to the board she breathed,"... Jack."
She saw his back tense and his breath caught. She smirked to herself as he cleared his throat and rolled his shoulders.
"Yeah", Rapunzel smiled and nodded," I think I am going to do the talent show."
"Are you nervous?" Merida asked Rapunzel who was fidgeting.
"A little", Rapunzel frowned," I've never preformed solo in front of people."
"You will do great", Merida smiled at her. She hugged her friend for good luck and went to watch Rapunzel in the crowd with everyone else.
Rapunzel peeked around the curtain and saw almost everyone in school there along with teachers. She was thrilled when she saw Jack in the back with Mr. Black. She was counting on him being here.
"Hey", she felt a soft hand on her arm. She jumped and turned to face Nod.
"Hey Nod", she smiled.
"Just came to wish you luck", he smiled at her," You're going to kill it."
"I feel like I'm going to throw up", she frowned.
"You're going to do fine", he smiled at her and she smiled back.
"I don't know what I would do without you", she laughed and ran a hand through her hair. She wanted to look like a sweet, innocent girl with her acoustic guitar. She was wearing a white crochet dress and her pink ballet flats. Her hair was curled and hung around her softly.
Nod sighed and gave her a smile. He leaned forward and Rapunzel momentarily stopped breathing. She didn't know whether Nod was going to kiss her or not and she wasn't sure if she wanted him to or not.
He smiled and kissed her quickly on the cheek and walked quickly out of the stage and into the crowd.
"Now give a big round of applause for Miss Rapunzel Corona!" she heard Mr. North say. She sucked in a deep breath and walked out on the stage, head held high.
She smiled and gave a small wave to the crowd and she could hear people, especially Merida, shouting her name and cheering for her.
"Miss Rapunzel, what will you be doing for us this evening?" North smiled at her.
"I will be singing one of my own songs and playing my guitar", Rapunzel said quietly into the mic.
"A personal song, eh?" North smiled," May I ask what it's about?"
"Well, uh..." Rapunzel stalled and looked out into the crowd. Even beneath the glare of the bright stage lights, she could see Jack. He was looking dead serious at her and he looked like he was holding his breath.
"It's kind of a last resort to someone who is really important to me", she looked at North and he smiled.
"The stage is all yours love", North smiled and adjusted the mic so it reached her mouth. She put her guitar strap over her shoulder and smiled at the crowd.
"Alright guys", she smiled," Please go easy on me. And to who I'm singing this for..."
She stalled again and saw Jack looking not at her, but past her.
"Know that I don't know what else to do", Rapunzel said quietly and saw Jack glance at her. She strum her guitar softly and soon became at ease being on stage.
Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'll be the one, if you want me to
Anywhere I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I am feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all
And I will stumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl
Say something, I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
And I will swallow my pride
You're the one that I love
And I'm saying goodbye
Say something, I'm giving up on you!
And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you!
And anywhere I would've followed you
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Say something, I'm giving up on you!
Say something, I'm giving up on you!
Say something...
She had her eyes closed and only opened them when she heard the thunder of applause and cheering for her. She opened them and felt her cheeks wet from crying softly while singing.
She gave a small bow and walked off the stage behind the curtain.
"Rapunzel, that was so great!" North smiled at her," Whoever it was for, if they don't want to talk to you now, then they aren't even worth it."
Rapunzel inhaled shakely and nodded," I think you might be right."
North smiled and walked past her onto the stage. Rapunzel was about to join her friends in the crowd and see if Jack was still there, but she suddenly felt so exhausted. She turned and walked out the back exit of the auditorium and sucked in a breath of fresh air that hit her in the face.
She felt the frost crunch under her ballet flats as she walked back to her dorm. She didn't know what to do anymore. She didn't know whether to confront Jack or just let what was between them alone and move on.
Her mother always told her that if you love something, you have to fight for it but maybe she was wrong. Maybe somethings are worth losing because what you had while you had it was great and amazing and that is okay.
"Do I even love him?" Rapunzel quietly said to herself," Love is mutual and he doesn't love me..."
"Now how could you possibly know that?" she heard behind her. She looked behind her and saw Jack standing there in his black jacket and jeans. His hair was sticking up everywhere and the moonlight only complimented him.
"What do you want?" Rapunzel asked, guarded.
"You wanted me to say something", he told her,"... Your song?"
"I didn't think you would actually listen", she looked away from him. She heard him step closer to her and when she looked back at him he was only about a foot away.
"So say something", she figdeted from foot to foot.
"Not here", he shook his head," Come on."
He walked towards the main building and she followed. She knew he was taking her to his quarters and she wasn't about to argue. As much as she was mad at him, she was thrilled that he wanted to finally talk to her.
"Alright", Rapunzel sighed and put her guitar on his chair in his room," What do you have to say?"
"Sit", he pointed to his bed and she rolled her eyes.
"I'm not a dog", she told him," You can't just tell me to seat and expect me -"
"Rapunzel!" he faced her and his cheeks were red," Sit down on the goddamn bed and just shut up and listen, okay?"
She gulped and walked over slowly, sitting on his silky sheets.
"You -! I don't -", he ran his hand through his hair.
"Jack, what is it? I'm tired and -" she rolled her eyes, but Jack interrupted her.
"Rapunzel, these past few days have been horrible", Jack finally looked at her in her eyes.
"They have?" her heart fluttered.
"Rapunzel", he walked towards her and put his arms around her. He leaned on his hands on the bed, Rapunzel between his arms, his face inches away from hers. Her heart stopped and she held her breath.
"I have been in absolute misery", he breathed into her face and Rapunzel felt herself shiver," I have been trying to get you out of my head for days and nothing works. You're everywhere. Everytime I see you at meals, in my class, in the halls, my dreams. Everytime I close my eyes, I see you."
With every word he said Rapunzel felt her heart lift with happiness and relief that finally he was saying what she was dying to hear.
"I just... God dammit, I can't take this anymore", he growled and crashed his lips into hers. She squeled in her mouth at the surprise contact. Her eyes flew open and she saw that his were screwed shut and his eyebrows were furrowed.
He brought his hands to the sides of her face and held her head as he kissed her. She closed her eyes and relished in the feeling of his lips against hers. She moaned softly and felt Jack open her mouth with his tongue. She gladly opened and felt Jack tilt her head back to kiss her deeper.
He brought his arm behind her back to lift her back and flip her around so she was being pushed against his pillows. She laid back gently and felt Jack lower himself onto her with ease and she loved the feeling of his weight on top of her.
"I've missed you so much", he detached his lips and leaned his forehead against hers.
"I've missed you too Jack", Rapunzel looked into his eyes and finally realized just how close she was to losing this man. She felt her eyes brim with tears and Jack smiled softly.
"Oh, baby, don't cry", he smiled at her.
"I am just so sorry Jack", she sniffled," I was being immature and a bitch. I was so close to losing you."
"Rapunzel..." his tone suddenly serious," You could and will not ever lose me. You're mine... Forever."
She grabbed his face and kissed him deeply, her heart soring. She felt him place his hand against her thigh and he spread his fingers. He ran his hand up her thigh and started to lift the hem of her dress with his hand. She arched her back so her dress could slide up easier. He lifted her up to pull her dress over her head and threw her dress across his room.
She pulled his shirt up and he slipped it over his head and threw it too. He leaned back and gazed at her with longing.
"You are so beautiful", he smiled down at her," I've missed you so much Rapunzel."
"You keep saying that", Rapunzel smirked.
"I mean it", he told her," Now, I am going to lavish you because I have been rude and have been neglecting my duties."
Rapunzel laughed and squirmed as Jack bent down slowly kissing up her abdomen and between the crevice of her breasts.
"Jack, that tickles!" she giggled.
"Your skin is so smooth", he moaned. He reached around her back and unclasped her bra, slowly peeling it away from her breasts and casually tossing it to the floor. He instantly covered her nipple with his mouth and started to suck and nip softly causing Rapunzel to moan.
"Jack, I want more", Rapunzel complained, but he ignored her. She reached down and began to fumble with his belt buckle, but his hand instantly gripped her wrist and he looked up at her. The cool wind hitting her breast caused her to shiver.
"What?" she asked breathing heavy.
"We can't..."
"Can't what?" she demanded. She took her free hand and cupped his through his jeans," I know you want this."
"Of course I do", he told her through grit teeth.
"Then make love to me", she pleaded, trying to yank her wrist free.
"You- I can't. You're a..."
"I don't care!" she yelled in his face," I want to be yours in every way possible. I don't understand why you won't do this. I love you Jack Overland! I want you, all of you!"
His eyes went wide and his breathing hitched," You- ... You love me?"
"Y- Yes..." she admitted quietly. She didn't mean to say it. All of a sudden she was filled with fear. Fear of being rejected again. Fear of him not feeling the same way about her.
He started to breath faster and faster and then he smiled. A smiled that dazzled her with it's whiteness and he laughed.
"Y- You love me?" Jack smiled," No one... No one has ever said that to me. You really love me?"
"Oh my fucking God... Yes, Jack!" Rapunzel laughed awkwardly," I do."
"Rapunzel, I love- " he started to say but Rapunzel cut him off.
"Show me how much you love me", she placed her finger on his lips," Don't tell me. Show me Jack."
His breathing slowed down and became shallow and a dark look shadowed his eyes. Before Rapunzel knew it he had quickly disposed of his belt and his jeans. He lowered himself onto her and she felt him there.
She was shocked with how much heat she could feel coming off of him. He curled his fingers over her panties and slowly rolled them down her legs. She leaned on her elbows and watched him throw her panties away. She all of a sudden felt vulnerable and leaned her head back into his pillow trying to calm her heart.
She saw that his boxers were still on and figured she should be the one to take them off. She brought her hand to the top of them and pulled them down, looking into his eyes.
The only time she looked away from his eyes is when he sprung free from his boxers. Rapunzel was rather shocked at the size and was unsure how all of that was going to fit in her.
He eased onto her and kissed her deeply. She felt him between her legs and she automatically tilted her hips into his.
He pulled away and looked deeply into her eyes," Rapunzel, are you sure you want to do this?"
She nodded frantically and smiled.
"It's going to hurt a little just to warn you. If it does, just squeeze my shoulders. Okay?" he raised his eyebrows.
"Okay", she breathed. She felt him ease in and she squeezed her eyes shut at the pressure she felt. Soon he was completely inside of her and she heard him groan into her ear. She wasn't sure what happened next, but her question was soon answered when he pulled out slowly and then pushed into her again.
She gasped and moaned as he pulled out slowly and pushed into her again. Soon he built up momentum and she didn't feel as much pressure anymore. She enjoyed it now. She felt slick down there and began to enjoy it.
"You feel amazing", he moaned into her ears. He brought his arms up and pressed his elbows onto her shoulders as his hands dove into her hair. He gripped her hair softly and pulled her head back so he could kiss her. She felt something she never felt before. It was like a pull she felt in her womanhood.
"You gotta come for me baby", he breathed," I don't think I can hold out much longer."
She wasn't sure what he meant, but she assumed it was what she was feeling. She heard about what happens during sex about how people climax and she assumed this was it. She just wasn't sure how to let it out.
Soon enough, however, she got her answer when finally the feeling was just to much that she felt herself go higher and higher until she couldn't take it anymore.
"Oh, Jack!" she yelled and felt herself blackout for a moment. When she came back she realized Jack was still thrusting into her, but he was thrusting much faster and harder than before.
"Oh, oh!" she screamed as she felt him push into her harder.
"I'm about to come", she heard him groan. He thrusted once more and then stalled, his back arched. She felt him twitch a couple times and then he relaxed. He slowly laid himself onto her and she felt him twitch once more before going completely limp on top of her.
She felt him breath deeply and could feel his sweat dripping onter her, but she didn't mind. She wrapped her arms around him and squeezed tightly.
He looked up at her and smiled softly," No regrets?"
"None at all", she smiled and shook her head," That was amazing Jack. I'm so glad I waited for someone like you."
"Can you say what you said before?" he looked at her with big innocent eyes.
"Say what?" she inquired.
"The thing I'm dying to hear again", he smirked.
She was confused and then she realized what he meant. She smiled at him and whispered," I love you Jack."
He closed his eyes and cherished the words she just told him.
"Really?" he opened his eyes.
"Forever and ever."
"Rapunzel?"
"Yeah?" she smiled at him.
"I love you too."
So there it was! Stay tuned :)
