Hey guys, I'm back with another chapter! I hope you like it!
Previously on The Great Escape:
Erin's POV:
I was at my locker getting my books for my next subject, biology, when someone bumped into me.
"I'm so sorry." He said.
"It's ok." I say as I help him pick up his books.
"Thank you; I'm Jonah by the way." He says.
"I'm Erin." I say, shaking his hand.
"So Erin, what class are you heading to?" He asks.
"Biology." I say.
"Ugh, me too, too bad it's my worst subject." He says.
"I could tutor you." I offered.
"Really? Thanks! Today after school?" He asks.
"Sure." I say as we walk off to class.
Jack's POV:
I overheard Erin's conversation with that Jonah guy, while I was at my locker.
Jealousy built up in me like a roaring fire.
Is she purposely doing this? Does she want to break up? I am so confused.
I am snapped out of my thoughts when Donna Tobin walks up to me.
"Hey Jack, shouldn't you be in biology?" She asks.
"Yeah, I'm going right now." I say as I grab my books and walk off.
At the dojo*
Erin's POV:
I ran into the dojo to find everyone staring at me.
"I'm so sorry I'm late guys, I had to tutor someone." I say.
"It's ok." Jack says snappish, he never snaps at me, or anybody for that matter.
"Whoa, what's up with you?" I ask.
He pulls me aside so we can talk alone.
"You tutored someone today, and you were late." He says.
Yes, I did, and I'm sorry." I say.
"Did you kiss him?" He asks me looking away.
"What?!" I ask, surprised he asked me that question.
"Did you kiss him?" He repeated looking me in the eyes, I could see anger, confusion, and hurt in his eyes.
"No! I would never hurt you like that, I love you!" I say and kiss him.
"I love you too." He said as we pull away with a smile and a look that said 'I'm sorry.'
"Forever and Always." I say returning the smile.
Chapter 16: May I Have This Dance?
Jack's POV:
I walk into the dojo to find everyone but Erin there; I was confused since very few times she is late.
"Where's Erin?" I ask Kim since she and Erin are like sisters.
"She won't be coming today." Kim says quietly with tears in her eyes.
"What?! What's wrong?!" I ask fearing the worst; Milton notices my nervousness and quickly responds.
"She's ok Jack, she's just upset today." Milton says, about to cry himself.
Realization strikes me and I remember that today it has been 2 months since Emmylou died.
"Where is she?" I ask starting to choke up.
"In the dance studio at her house, she called in sick today for school and I stayed with her, that's why we weren't there today." Kim says.
I nod and we all walk to Erin's house.
At Erin's house, in her dance studio*
Jack's POV:
"Hey Er." Kim says as we walk into her dance studio.
"H-Hi guys." Erin says then starts to cry again, and we all walk over to her and hug her.
"It's will be ok Angel; we are going to help you through this with God's help." I say, and I give Kim, Jerry and Milton a look that says 'Can we be alone?' They nod and walk out of the room.
I get up and walk over to the stereo and pick a good song and walk back over to Erin.
"May I have this dance?" I ask her. She gives me a small smile and nods. I help her up and we dance and dance and she starts smiling.
We try to do a lift and when I put Erin back down, she slips and falls, hitting her head on the floor and goes unconscious, making me panic.
"Rudy! Kim! Jerry! Milton! Help!" I yell upstairs.
They come running down and we carefully pick Erin up and take her to the hospital.
At the hospital*
Jack's POV:
We were waiting in the waiting room for 1 ½ for news on Erin.
I am freaking, this is entirely my fault, if only I was more careful, Erin wouldn't be here right now.
"You can she her now." A nurse said to us and we all go to Erin's room
"Hey Er." Kim says.
"Hey Kimmy." Erin says with a small smile.
"How are you feeling?" Rudy asks.
"I'm ok; my head is hurting a little." She says jokingly.
"The doctor said you get out tonight." Jerry said.
"Yeah…" Erin said kinda like she was uncomfortable.
"Erin, are you okay?" Milton asks.
"No…" Erin says doing the same thing again.
"Erin, what's wrong?" I ask.
"I don't know you guys." She says.
"Wait what? Who do you not know?" I ask panicking.
"You guys." She replies, pointing at me, Jerry and Milton.
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no!
Wow, that was some drama. What's going to happen?
What was your favorite part?
I love ya'll!
Keep Kickin' It!
