Hey guys! I'm back! If you guys are wondering why I didn't update yesterday, was because I updated twice on Saturday, and I was really busy on Monday. I have to go out of town on a retreat for church so I will update a bunch of chapters before this weekend.
I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Previously on The Great Escape:
Jack's POV:
We get done with practice and I walk over to Erin and hug her from behind.
"You ready?" I ask her.
"Yeah, mind telling me where we are going?" She asks.
"Just change into your bathing suit." I tell her.
"Why?" She asks.
"Just go change." I say.
When Erin comes back, I blindfold her and grab our picnic basket and bag with towels and clothes in it.
We walk until we get to the park and walk to the riverbank.
"Keep your eyes closed." I say as I take her blindfold off.
"Ok." She says with a smile.
I smile and push her into the river, when she pops back up, she is shocked.
"Jack!" She screams and runs out of the river to chase me.
"Crap." I say and run when she gets closer.
I run until Erin catches up with me, which happened to be back where we started, on the river bank.
She pushed me in but I pull her in with me.
We both laugh and swim a little then we get out and sit down to eat.
"Jack, some days, I wonder how I got so lucky to be with a guy like you." She says.
"I could say the same about you." I say causing her to smile.
"I love you." She says.
"I love you too." I say and lean in to kiss her.
We pull away smiling and I walk her home.
At Erin's house*
Erin's POV:
"Wanna come in?" I ask Jack when we get to my house.
"W- Where's your uncle?" he asked nervously.
"He is at the dojo doing some paperwork." I answer.
He looks at me confused and nervous.
"Jack, it's ok. Now come on." I say gently pulling his arm.
He comes inside nervously, and looks nervous when we head up to my room.
"Why can't we stay in the living room?" He asks nervously.
"Ok, what's up with you? You have been nervous since we got here." I say.
"Nothing." He says and looks away.
"Jack, please tell me." I say sweetly.
"I am nervous that something will happen." He says.
"Jack, nothing will happen, I just wanted to come up here to be alone with you, to talk, and just be with you." I say before crying, and Jack hugs me.
"He sent another letter did he?" he asks angrily and I just nod, still crying as I hand him the letter.
"I can't believe he would say that to you." He answers after reading the letter with anger.
"I just want to forget about that for now. I should let you go, the first day of school is tomorrow." I say.
"Ok, I love you Angel and you are beautiful no matter what anyone says." Jack says looking at me with love and adoration.
"I love you too Darling." I say then kiss him.
"Good night." He says.
"Good night." I answer.
Chapter 12: First Day
Erin's POV:
I walk to my locker, thinking of how much I love it here, the classes are very interesting, well, to me anyways, the music and dance programs are awesome, and everyone is friendly.
I am lost it thought when I bump into someone causing me to drop my books.
"I am so sorry." I say as I went to pick up my books.
"It's ok Angel." When I hear that I look up to find Jack helping me pick up my books and I smile at him.
"Thank you." I say as h hands me my books.
"You're welcome, how do you like the school so far?" he says as he holds my hand.
"It's great, everyone is very friendly, and the classes are fun." I say.
"Great." He says with a smile and just then, my phone goes off saying I have a text message.
I look at it and start to put it away while crying, only to have Jack grab my hand gently so he can read the text message.
"Dear Erin,
I heard that you and Jack are still going strong, but I am convinced that this is just an act, that he doesn't really love you. Why can't you see that he is just using you?
Austin."
"That's it! I'm tired of him tearing you down with these letters and text messages, you don't deserve this pain." Jack says and copies Austin's number into his phone.
"Wait, what are you doing?" I ask him.
"I'm going to call and confront him; I'm not going to let him do this anymore." He says and takes off; good thing school is done for the day.
"Jack! Jack!" I say as I run after him.
In front of the dojo*
Jack's POV:
I dial Austin's number and the phone rings, on the third ring he picks up. (Jack: Bold Austin: Italics.
"Hello?"
"Austin, its Jack. I need to talk to you about something."
"What is it?"
"I want you to stop sending these letters and text messages to Erin, do you know how much pain you cause her by the words you are saying?"
"I'm just proving a point to her, that you are just using her."
"I love her! And I am not going to sit here and just watch you hurt her by these cruel words."
"Wow, you really love her huh?"
"Yes, I do. I love everything about her, I feel so lucky that she was willing to give me a chance to help her through her pain, I wouldn't change anything about her."
"Wow."
"Oh, and I heard what you said to Erin about me leaving her pregnant or heartbroken. And you are dead wrong, I would never leave her heartbroken, and I will not get her pregnant before marriage."
"Wait, so you haven't…."
"No, I am not one of those guys."
"Then you must really love her, I'll promise to stop sending letters with cruel words."
"Thank you."
I hang up to find Erin walking towards me.
"What did he say?" She asked.
"He said he would stop sending letters." I told her.
"Thank you for standing up for me." She says with a smile.
"You're welcome; I will not let anything hurt you." I say returning the smile leaning in to kiss her.
"I love you." She says.
"I love you too, forever." I say.
"And always." She finishes and we walk into the dojo together.
