Mavis's POV
Mavis didn't really listen to the meeting. There were two things distracting her. The first, and most dire, was the fact that she just punched the boogie man in the face. Not that Mavis ever got scared. Horror movies, haunted houses, and even old friends trying to scare her never could. She couldn't really think of anything that scared her. The other thing that was distracting Mavis, which was lesser in scale to the former, was the presence of Jack's arm around her shoulder. She was pretty used to it though. Often times now, Jack would do that when he thought Mavis's safety was in question, which was both endearing to her and infuriating her. It was so cute and flattering, but it also kind of implied that Mavis couldn't handle her self. However, Mavis couldn't get mad at Jack. He was the only person who really seemed to care about her. Sure, her dad in the morning for breakfast, but never really anybody she could talk to. It was nice having him. At least he got her out of the house, made her laugh and smile, and occasionally try to help her study for her mid-terms. Not that he understood most of what was going on. It was also evident that he just wanted we to be okay, but there was a new intensity of his protecting nature of Mavis. After she told him about her mom, he looked at her with wonder, but she couldn't be sure of what the wonder was for.
Jack's POV
Jack drifted in and out of paying attention to the meeting. He was thinking about Mavis. After she told him about her mom, he was amazed. Mavis was just a 14 year old girl, but she was so strong. When she was Jamie's age her mother died, and as much as she doesn't talk about it, not many people could handle that, but she has. For six years. And then add a father that she barely sees? Forget it. Most 14 year olds Jack had seen couldn't handle it. Mavis was definitely one of a kind. And he definitely wasn't losing her anytime soon.
