CHAPTER 11
It was the day after Jack had left for L.A. and I was a wreck. I didn't get hardly any sleep the night before because I missed Jack being by my side and I was scared to sleep by myself. I cried myself to sleep, but only stayed asleep for an hour. I layed there in the bed, with Cocoa snuggled up next to me. There was a knock at the door.
"Come in," I said as I continued to lay in bed.
The door opened and Bobby stood in the doorway. I looked over at Bobby.
"Hey, kiddo. How you holding up?" Bobby asked as he came in and sat down on the bed.
"Bad. It's hard without Jack here," I said as tears came down my cheeks.
"I know it is. He'll be back soon, hopefully. Ma wanted me to come up here and see if you wanted anything for breakfast."
"No, thanks," I said as I shook my head.
"Okay. Well, if you need something, just yell for one of us," Bobby said before he left the room, closing the door behind him.
A couple of days had passed and Jack and I talked only once since he went to L.A. I was working at the hospital. It was hard for me to even go to work because Jack would always be there to tell me that he loved me and to be careful. Work seemed to drag and I couldn't wait to just get home and lay down in bed. Work finally ended and I walked out of the hospital to my car. I got in and turned the radio on. I pulled out of the parking lot and drove to the house. I got out of the car and walked up the steps slowly. I walked in the door. Cocoa was waiting for me.
"Hey there, girl," I said as I closed the front door behind me. "How are you?" I asked as I pet Cocoa's head.
She wagged her tail as she followed me. I walked into the living room and stood in the doorway. Evelyn and Bobby were sitting there watching T.V.
"Hi," I said as I stood there.
"Hi, dear. How was the hospital?" Evelyn asked as she looked up from her sewing.
"Busy. We had a lot of patients today and I'm beat. I'm going to actually go upstairs and rest," I said as I turned around and made my way up the steps with Cocoa behind me.
Bobby and Evelyn looked over at each other and smirked as they already knew what was upstairs waiting for me. I walked down the hallway to Jack's room and I opened the door. I saw Jack sitting there on the bed with a smile on his face.
"Jack!" I yelled as I dropped my purse and ran over to him.
"I missed you!" Jack said as he picked me up in his arms and kissed me.
"I missed you so much!" I said before I kissed him again. "I didn't know you were coming back today."
"Well, I wasn't supposed to. I found out this morning and I wanted to surprise you when you got home from work. Are you surprised?" Jack asked as he put me down and held me close to him.
"Yes. Oh my god. I'm so happy," I said before I kissed his lips. "Did you get signed?"
"Yes," Jack said as he nodded his head.
"Oh my god! Jack, that's awesome!" I said as I hugged him again. "When do you leave again?"
"Well, I think next month we have to go back and then we will do a complete album and then the touring will start, hopefully," Jack said as he looked into my eyes. "I don't want to talk about that, though. I'm here now and that's all that matters," Jack said before he started to kiss me again.
Later that night, I was getting ready for bed. I walked into Jack's room and closed the door behind me. I turned around and Jack pulled me close to him and we started to kiss. We made our way over to the bed as we continued to kiss. I sat down and Jack layed down on top of me. He reached up and turned the lamp off. I scooted up towards the pillows and layed back down as Jack got on top of me. He kissed along my jaw line and over to my neck. He sucked on my neck as I placed my hands on his back and pulled him closer to me.
"I missed you so much," I whispered as Jack sucked on my neck.
"I missed you too," Jack whispered in between kisses.
I reached down and slid his jeans down. He kicked them off and then pulled my shorts and panties off. He slid my tank top up and I sat up as he took it all the way off. He tossed it to the floor and leaned back down to kiss me again. He entered me and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He started to pump into me as we continued to kiss. We both moaned in pleasure as Jack sped up a little. We pulled each other as close as we could as we both released. Jack leaned down and kissed my lips.
"I love you," Jack whispered.
"I love you, too," I whispered back before I kissed Jack again.
Jack pulled out and layed down on the bed beside me. I rolled over and rested my head on his chest. We both were breathing heavily. I was so glad that Jack was finally back.
"So, you missed me?" Jack whispered as he held me close.
"Yeah. I couldn't sleep without you here beside me," I whispered back as I kissed his chest.
"Same here. You can ask any of the guys. They yelled at me because I would sit there and play my guitar. I couldn't help it. They wouldn't understand because they don't have anyone to love."
I layed there with Jack and held him close to me. I couldn't believe that he was finally back in the house. We both dozed off holding each other. Jack was finally home, but how long would he be gone for the tour?
The next month came and it was getting close to Jack leaving for L.A. I didn't want him to leave again, but he was finally going to be able to pursue his dream. I walked out of the hospital and turned my cell phone on. I noticed that I had a new voicemail. I dialed the number and put my password in.
"You have one new message. First message."
"Lacy, it's me. I don't know how to tell you this, but the manager called me and I have to hurry up and go over to L.A. They want us over there ASAP. I know that you are working right now, and I'm sorry that I have to leave without saying bye to you. Just know that I love you and I will miss you. I will try to call you when I can. Take care of yourself. I love you, babe," Jack said before he hung up.
I looked at my phone and tears started to form in my eyes. I hurried up and got into the car. I drove to the house as quick as I could. I got out of the car and ran inside.
"Jack!" I yelled as I quickly walked into the house.
"He left, sweetie," Evelyn said as she walked out of the kitchen.
"I didn't get a chance to say bye," I said as tears rolled down my cheeks.
"He was in a hurry. He said that he loves you. He didn't want to go, but he had no choice," Evelyn said as Bobby came down the steps.
I shook my head and went up the steps. I walked into Jack's room and sat down on the bed. I couldn't believe that he left again and I didn't even get to say goodbye this time. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I looked over at the picture that was sitting on top of Jack's dresser. It was a picture of me and him kissing. I pulled out my cell phone and dialed Jack's cell phone number. I held the phone up to my ear as it started to ring.
"Hey, this is Jack. I'm not able to answer my phone right now, so leave a message after the beep!"
"Hey, Jack. It's me. I just came home from work and now I'm sitting on your bed in tears because I didn't realize that you were leaving today," I said as I started to choke up. "I wished that I would have been able to say bye to you, but I hope that you call me soon. I already miss you," I said as I wiped tears away. "Just call me when you can, okay? I love you," I said before I closed the phone shut.
I changed out of my work clothes and into my pajamas. I heard Cocoa scratching at the door and I let her in. I layed down in bed and covered myself up. I cried myself to sleep that night not only because I missed Jack, but I also had something that I needed to tell him. I just hoped that he would be okay about it.
I know that this chapter isn't as long as the rest of the chapters, but this is all I wanted to write for this chapter.
