"Where the fuck have you, fucking been," Bobby said, standing behind Jack,
"I uh… I went to go check on Mia for Charlie," Jack said taking his jacket off,
"I asked him to go check on her for me, Bobby," Charlie said
"Yeah, I uh… checked on her last night, she was already asleep, and then I went to go check up on her again, just to make sure she didn't leave the house or anything,"
"Thanks Jack, I owe you one," Charlie said,
Jack nodded, as he walked upstairs and into his room, Jack kicked off his shoes, and threw his shirt on the floor, before going to sleep.
Mia slowly opened her eyes, groaning at the massive headache she has, she raised her hand up to rub her forehead, when she felt something cold between her fingers, frowning she looked down at her hand. And saw a dog chain necklace with a cross pendant, she looked closer at it and remembered, i was crying in the bathroom last night when Jack found her, he carried her to the bed and i… they both fell asleep.
"Did I just sleep with Jack Mercer?" she asked her self,
Mia got up and put her jacket on, she put jacket on, and went downstairs, she found her cat wondering around downstairs, she picked her up and was about to go feed her when she saw, she already had food and water. Mia, checked the clock, it was already, 12:30
"Jack should be up by now," she said putting her cat down and walking out the door,
She crossed the street and knocked on the door,
"Hey, come on in," Bobby said opening the door,
"Uh thanks, is Jack here?" she asked,
"What do need from Jack," Charlie asked from the kitchen,
"I just wanted to… say something, to him," Mia smiled,
"Uh huh, we have to go back to work, Jack's upstairs I'll give you another night to think, I'll sleep over here tonight again okay," Charlie said kissing her on the forehead,
"Yeah, okay," Mia smiled,
"Here, just in case you know, you need anything," Charlie said handing Mia money,
"Thanks, chuck," she said hugging her brother, as he kissed her forehead,
"Hey chucky boy, we got work to do," Bobby called from the door,
"Go fuck your self Bobby," Mia smirked,
"Yeah, you do that princess," Bobby smirked back,
After they left, Mia walked upstairs and stopped in front of a door, where she heard someone singing, she tried to listen but the voice was so soft she couldn't hear, so she knocked on the door,
"Leave me alone, Bobby," Jack said,
"It's me," Mia said,
Jack opened the door, and looked strait into her chocolate brown eyes,
"Hi," Jack said,
"Hi, you uh… forgot this, in… my room," Mia smiled, handing him the necklace,
"I was beginning to wonder where this went," Jack smiled,
"Sorry, I must have grabbed onto it last night or something,"
"Could you turn around for a minute," Jack said,
"Why…"
"Trust me… please," Jack, said, as Mia had a sudden flash back,
(Flashback)
"J-boy, its dark I'm scared, where are we going?"
"Trust me… please, Mimi?" J-boy said holding his hand out,
(End of Flashback)
"Mia, you okay," Jack said waving his hand in front of her face,
"Uh… yeah… I just uh, spaced out, sorry, here," Mia said turning around,
Mia felt a sudden chill as the cold metal brushed against her skin,
"Jack… what…"
"It looks better on you than it ever did on me," Jack smiled,
"Thanks," Mia smiled
"Your welcome and about last night I… didn't mean to fall asleep on your bed or…"
"No Jack, I should be thanking you, I really don't know what I was thinking last night, and you saved my life, I really don't know how to thank you,"
"Just don't do that again," Jack smirked,
"I promise," Mia, said looking at Jack as their eyes locked, staring at each other,
"Well… I uh, better go on home, I have a lot of cleaning to do today so,"
"Yeah, I uh… noticed that last night," Jack, laughed,
"See yah Jack," Mia said walking backwards towards the stairs,
"See yah," Jack said staring at her,
"Bye," Mia said smiling while biting on her lower lip,
(Flashback)
"Bye Mimi," J-boy said as he watched Mimi walk off, she turned around,
"Bye," Mimi said, smiling while biting down on her lower lip,
(End of Flashback)
Jack shook his head realizing that he was zoning out, once he heard the front door close he walked over to the window and watched Mia cross the street and into their house,
"What the hell is wrong with me," Jack said shaking his head,
A few hours later, Jack was bored, he decided to visit a new friend, so he put his jacket on and ran across the street the front door was open, he walked in and saw the living room and kitchen clean,
"Mia," Jack called out,
"Yeah… Jack is that you," Mia called out from upstairs,
"Yeah, where are you," Jack said walking up the stairs,
"Hey, in here," Mia called from the bathroom,
"You clean fast," Jack laughed,
"Yeah well, Mushi here isn't much help," Mia said sitting down on the bed next,
"I was wondering since this morning, does Mushi have some kind of meaning or something," Jack smiled, petting the cat,
"No, she just looked like a… Mushi to me when I got her, she's my best friend,"
"I can see you guys are really close," Jack laughed, "So you need any help,"
"Oh no, I'm… fine…," Mia smiled,
"Come on, I have nothing better to do with my life anyways," Jack smiled,
"Ok then, I do, need a little help, with the bathroom,"
"Sure, come on," Jack said taking his jacket off,
A couple hours later,
"Well, I guess we're all done," Mia smiled,
"Yeah, you did a good job," Jack smirked, looking around the house,
"Oh come on, you did most of the work for me,"
"I did, didn't I,"
"You are insane," Mia punched him in the arm playfully,
"Aw, that's going to bruise, you know," Jack, teased,
"Yeah, sure, fine,"
"Hungry?" Jack asked,
"A little… here's a wacky idea, why don't I cook dinner for you, a little thank you dinner for helping me clean u, it's the least I can do, you saved my ass twice already,"
"Okay, as long as you don't poison me," Jack teased,
"Oh don't worry, the poisoned apples are on the table," Mia smiled
"You know what, why don't I help you cook, and we'll cook for everyone tonight,"
"Sounds good, I didn't know you cook," Mia smiled,
"Well someone had to feed my brothers past couple of years, before Sofi came along,"
"Well, let me go change my shirt real quick, I'll be right down,"
"Take your time," Jack smiled watching her run up the stairs,
Jack saw something shinny on the carpet, he bent down to pick it up, it was an anklet, gold with the initial J dangling from it, Jack was lost in thought for a minute when,
"Hey, you ok," Mia smiled,
"Uh… yeah, you uh… dropped this," Jack said handing her the anklet,
"Oh, thanks, I thought I lost it," Mia said putting it on,
"So what's the J mean, ex-boyfriend?" Jack teased,
"Uh… no actually, it's… complicated, an old… friend," Mia signed,
"It's ok; I uh… kind of have the same problem,"
"Oh really, and how is that?" Mia asked, facing Jack,
"First love never dies right," Jack smiled,
"Yeah, I do believe that,"
"Good, let's start cooking, why don't you start, I'll make the calls,"
"Ok, here's my phone," Mia said grabbing her cell from her bag,
Three hours later,
"Are we having dinner here, or at your house," Mia asked,
"Well, with all the cleaning today, I'd say its best to do dinner at our house,"
"Ok, then we need to get moving and transfer all the food,"
"No, let me do that, and you go on and… pamper your self, you deserve it,"
"Uh, Ok then, I'll meet you at your house then,"
Jack was finishing the table settings, when the doorbell rang,
"Wow," Jack said opening the door,
"What do you mean, Wow," Mia asked raising her eyebrow,
"You look… uh… very… beautiful," Jack stammered,
"Thank you, you don't look too bad your self, love the shirt," Mia said walking inside,
"Bobby and Charlie called their on there way,"
"Oh, lovely,"
After dinner,
"Hey Mia, thanks for dinner," Bobby said,
"Thank your brother too, he was a big help," Mia smiled cleaning the table,
"Jack, you helped her?" Bobby teased,
"Shut up man, I am not in the mood right now," Jack said,
"Whatever man, come on Chucky, lets go out, same place," Bobby said,
"Again, you are crazy Bobby," Charlie laughed,
"Hey, you were gone too long," Bobby smiled,
"Hey, Mia I'm going out with Bobby for a while, don't wait up for me,"
"Yeah, that'll be the day, Chuck,"
"Bye you too," Charlie said from the door,
"Their not coming home tonight are they," Mia asked as she wiped down the table,
"Good guess, they never come home, they go strait to work, you'll see them tomorrow night when they get off work,"
"Oh the joy," Mia mumbled,
After cleaning up the kitchen and the living room and putting all the food away, Jack and Mia sat down in the living room to watch a movie,
"So, what do you want to watch?" Jack asked,
"Anything's fine with me, as long as we have this," Mia said, raising up a bottle of whiskey,
"Oh, I see, you want to get me drunk now," Jack, teased,
"Oh get over here, and over your self will you," Mia smiled,
They sat on the couch, Mia had her back against Jacks arm, drinking while watching the movie, when Jack lit a cigarette Mia took it from his hand and smiled up at him,
"Well, your welcome then, I didn't know you smoke," Jack smiled back,
"Yeah well, my brother likes to pretend he doesn't know,"
"Hey its tuff being the youngest, I should know,"
"Yeah, you're right,"
The movie was almost finished when Jack looked over to Mia, who fell asleep on the couch, Jack smiled to himself seeing how peaceful she looked, Jack got up and slowly picked her up, took her upstairs into his room, he laid her down unto his bed and took her shoes off. As he pulled the covers over her, Jack walked out leaving the door cracked open. Jack walked down stairs, and cleaned up their mess in the living room, he turned the TV off picking his cigarettes up he walked to the top of the stairs and sat down lighting a cigarette. Staring out at blank space as old memories started coming back to him,
(Flashback)
"J-Boy, come one lets play over there,"
"No thanks Mimi, you go, I'll stay here,"
"J-Boy, what's… who did that to you, was it him?" Mimi asked touching the bruise,
"He said… he called me a…" J-Boy said, as he pulled Mimi into a hug,
"It's ok J, I'm here," Mimi said hugging him tighter,
"Why does everyone hate me, why can't I get adopted by someone who wants me?"
"I don't hate you J, why does this have to happen," Mimi said with a tear down her face,
"Don't cry Mimi, I'll be fine,"
"No you wont, he's going to hurt you more and more," Mimi cried,
(End of Flashback)
"Jack," he heard as he felt someone shaking him, "Jack wake up,"
"Mia," Jack whispered, opening his eyes,
"Yeah, its me, why didn't you just wake me up last night, I could've gone home, and you wouldn't have to sleep on the floor," Mia said as Jack stood up,
"I could tell you were tired, and besides I wasn't really going to sleep on the floor I was smoking a cigarette last night, must have fallen asleep then," Jack smiled,
"How did I end up in… you room, I'm guessing, anyway?"
"You fell asleep on the couch, but you didn't really look very comfortable, and it was really cold down stairs last night so I carried you to my bed, but don't worry I didn't see or touch or even look at anything, I was just trying to be… nice,"
"I should get going though, why don't you go back to sleep, in your bed, I have to go home and wait for Sam anyways," Mia smiled,
"Ok, I'll uh… see you later," Jack smiled,
"Thank you, Jack" Mia smiled as she reached up and kissed Jack softly on the cheek,
"Bye," Mia said biting on her lower lip looking up into Jack's eyes,
"Bye," Jack said, getting lost in her gaze,
