Disclaimer: you know.
Previously on The Great Escape:
Jack's POV:
We were all in the dojo waiting for Erin to come, she was running late today, which is unusual, and she always was on time for everything.
"I wonder what's wrong; she's never late for anything." Kim says.
Soon she came walking through the door, and she looks like she had been crying.
"What's wrong?" I ask.
"Nothing, it's that I fell in practice causing me to twist my ankle and I also pulled a muscle in my leg." She said.
"Er, you need to take a break; you have been working too hard in practice, both here and at the studio. Now come on, let's take you home." Kim says as she helps Erin up and I let her hop on my back, while Jerry grabs her dance bag, and my bag, while Milton grabs an ice pack.
At Erin's house*
Erin's POV:
When we get to my house, Jack sits me down on the couch and I sit while elevating my ankle while Kim go grabs a bandage to wrap my ankle up and an ice pack to help the swelling go down.
We were all talking, laughing and they would help me with what I needed, needless to say, we all have an unbreakable bond.
"Guys, I appreciate you helping, but I can do things myself too." I say while trying to get up, but when I put pressure on my ankle and feel a sharp pain shoot up my leg, I sit back down.
"Ok, maybe I need you guys to help." I say sheepishly.
We all giggle while Jack comes to sit down next to me and I lean against his side.
Milton, Jerry and Kim start to have an argument on what are the best movies Marvel has made, while Jack and I are making out on the couch.
"Hey lovebirds, cut it out." Jerry said jokingly when he notices that we weren't paying any attention to their argument.
Jack and I pull away smiling and I give Jerry and angry look jokingly and we all start laughing.
"Ok, so the best movie Marvel has made is Captain America, Thor, The Avengers, and Thor: The dark world, so far." I say and they all look at me impressed that even though I was kissing Jack, I still manage to know what they were talking about.
We talk and we sing karaoke on the TV in the living room and joke around while doing it until my uncle walks in with a letter.
"It's for you." He says and hands me the letter while everyone looks curious to see what it says. I open it and I am shocked.
"There's two letters in here. One is from Ally and the other is from Austin." I say and everyone encourages me to read them out loud.
"Dear Erin,
It has been a while since we came to Seaford and saw you with your new friends; I know they are true friends to be there for you through thick and thin, I know that I haven't. Also, be kind to Jack, I can tell he loves you, and you love him, I see in your eyes and actions towards each other. Just know that I am thinking of you, and hope to see you again soon.
Love, Ally." I read with a smile on my face.
"That is really sweet of Ally." Kim says smiling.
"Read Austin's." Milton says. I agree with a smile, but on the inside I'm freaking out thinking it is just going to be another argument. Jack notices and gives me a smile that makes me feel so much better.
"Dear Erin,
I wrote you this letter because Ally found out about our fight and made me apologize.
Anyways, here is my apology.
I'm sorry that you chose to leave Miami to be in Seaford with that so called boyfriend of yours, I'm sorry that you are too scared to hurt someone so you give up on your dreams, and also, I'm sorry that you are too terrified to say what you really think.
Anyways, I'm sorry.
Austin." I finish, anger overcoming me. Everyone is shocked that Austin would say something like that.
"He's just jealous, jealous that he couldn't heal your pain. Er, don't let it get to you, he is not who you thought he was if he was supposed to apologize and still tears you down." Kim says.
"You're right, thanks Kimmy." I say.
We all group hug and watch Thor: The Dark World together while laughing at all the funny moments Thor and Loki have together.
At the dojo, the next day*
Erin's POV:
I walk into the dojo, healed from my twisted ankle from yesterday.
"Hey Kimmy!" I say with a smile before warming up.
"Hey Er! How's the ankle?" Kim asks.
"It's doing a lot better, thanks to you guys helping me yesterday. I say while stretching.
"Hey Erin." The guys say while they grabbed a water bottle.
"Hey." I say still stretching.
"I see the ankle is better." Jack says walking over to me, and I finish stretching.
"Yes it is." I say as I turn to face Jack and give him a quick kiss.
"You want to go somewhere after practice?" He asks.
"Yes, I would love to. Where are me going?" I ask.
"It's a surprise." He says with a smile.
"Of course it is." I say jokingly and return the smile.
Chapter 10: Kick Higher
Jack's POV:
After Erin says that I smile.
"Could you give me a hint?" She asks.
"If I do that it wouldn't be a surprise I say wrapping my arms around her waist.
"Please?" She asks.
"Ok, so we are leaving this building." I say teasing her.
"Well I knew that." Erin replies sarcastically whole rolling her eyes.
"You don't know how to not be sarcastic do you?" I ask her jokingly.
"No, I really don't." She answers and goes over to the punching dummy.
I laugh, that's one of the things I love about her, she makes me laugh, she has a fiery side to her that never burns out, she is beautiful inside and out, she is kind and caring, and she speaks her mind.
I walk over to the punching dummy to hold it steady while she hits and kicks it, then finally I told her to try to kick a little higher, I forgot to duck when she kicked, causing her to kick me upside the head.
Erin's POV:
I went to kick the dummy again when I kick Jack upside the head and he fell down.
Everyone runs over to see if he is ok.
"Jack, are you ok?" I ask.
"Yeah." He says.
"I am so sorry." I tell Jack we help him up and sit him on the bench.
"It's ok." He says as I hand him an Ice pack.
"Geez Erin, Jack told you to kick higher not to try to kill him." Jerry said.
"I said sorry." I say sheepishly while looking down.
"It's ok Angel, I'm fine. It's just a little bump." Jack says.
"Are you sure? I kicked you pretty hard." I ask while sitting down next to him n the bench.
"Yeah I'm sure." He says standing up and walks around before he gets dizzy and falls, he looks down at the floor embarrassed.
"Ok, I need to sit down for a while." He says causing me to giggle a bit.
"He seems ok, we just need him to sit down for a while, and Erin?" Milton says turning to me.
"Maybe you should stay away from the punching dummies for a while." He says.
"Oh yeah, that was totally what I was thinking." I say to him sarcastically.
"Good, so we are on the same page." He says.
"Don't you know sarcasm when you hear it?" I ask causing Jack and Kim to laugh.
So, I know it is kinda short, but I thought the date could be in the next chapter. I hope you like it!
I love ya'll! Keep Kickin' It!
Btw, the line "don't you know sarcasm when you hear it?" is from It's Christmas, Charlie Brown!
