CrystalXRose: Thank you. :)
Black-Death-646: Ya, I mean, I'm trying to make it somewhat realistic (character wise I mean). And yes, yes they do. :( Ha, ya. Jack trying to act all innocent and polite around Ms Bennett is a tad bit funny. XD Ya, I was hoping for that. I don't want her to be boring... I want her to be fun, ya know? Aw, thank you! :) OH! I am super happy you like my replies to your comment. I love reading your reviews! They're so kind and nice and they make me smile. :) I'm nice? Agh, so are you! :') *Bows back?* XD
sky of Flames: Ha, you'll have to read on to find out how they end up! :P Ya, I don't like when characters are way OTT, but it is Evil they are dealing with here. I try not to make every chapter dramatic because that'll only bore people. I don't mind your rambling! XD Thank you! :')
SomeoneFromEarth: Oh gosh. Ya, I forgot about that. I suppose the last part isn't exactly for younger audiences... My bad. XD Ha, you flatter me. :) Meh, it'll have to do. :P I was so pissed off that it wasn't in the movie! : I was expecting it to be exactly like the book, but it wasn't. I was like: LqjedhalkdjhalhLKJDH! I was just so mad that they didn't show his death more considering I was crying during the whole book. XD
AshadowByTwilight: I'll be honest. I felt awkward while even writing it for them. I was like... This is so embarrassing for them. :/ :L Pfft, I know right? Mothers these days! XD :') I'd be weak laughing at 'em.. :D Aw, so glad you liked this chapter. :)
Thorina2245: Aw, thanks. :) I'm glad you love it. :'D
Zillah: I made you change your ship? Wow, I feel powerful (JOKE!). I don't know, I just started shipping them after I saw a fanart of them and I was like: A:LDKADSJKHA:LK! THEY ARE PERFECT! :') Maybe... Ya, Tooth and him... I don't know. She is WAY too obsessed with his teeth, and if I were Jack I'd be totally freaked out. XD :P Thanks for the review. :)
Leslie: Ha, hope the waiting was worth it! :) Aw, that's nice. :) Your reviews make my day! :O Ha, ya, school does suck! I'm glad my fanfic cheers you up! :) Pfft! I DO NOT! :O I bet you're amazing at writing! Don't doubt yourself. :) Ha, ya. I'm very close to 7000 reads. I was like.. 'Whaaaaatttt...?' XD Ha, thanks for the review. :)
A/N: Oh god. It's so annoying! After I post the chapter it's then that I see all the mistakes. In the last chapter I said something and then I read it and I was like: I'm slow. XD Please, please tell me when ye see mistakes, okay? I would truly appreciate it. :) I love honestly, honestly! :P
Anyway, just so you know, a large proportion of this chapter is kind of trough the eyes of JACK. :) Just thought you guys should know.
(Jack's POV):
Jack lay awake feeling humiliated and stupid. Sure, Sophie had said it was no big deal, but to him it was. He couldn't believe his actions. Sure he was immature and whatever, but honestly, he's not normally like that. He thought it was due to the fact that Sophie was his first... Well, anything really. He doesn't recall kissing a girl before her, or even liking another girl. Well, possibly during his old life he might of, but he doesn't remember. Jack barely remembers anything of his old life at all. He wish he could just remember... Maybe then he might know his sisters name. Was it stupid that he missed her even though he doesn't remember?
So here he was. Just lying in bed beside Sophie who was sleeping peacefully. Gold sand whirled around her head. During the course of the night it had changed to many things. First it was at it usually was: a butterfly. But then it began to change. It transformed into a pencil and a paintbrush, then to hearts- Jack personally thought that was cute. Though, he couldn't concentrate on her dreams.
Even though he felt humiliated about saying that he loved her, he also felt a lot of relief to get that off his chest. When she said those three words it felt like Jack was in a dream. No girl ever said to that him before and it made him feel like he could take on the universe. He couldn't put into words how great he felt right now. He just wanted to freeze everything this very moment and stay beside her forever. Hm, Jack thought he might be getting a bit cheesy... Oh well.
He wanted to hug her, to hold her she slept, but he felt too embarrassed after what he had done.
"Jack?" Came a whisper. Obviously it was Sophie. Jack was shocked that she was still up; he hadn't expected her to be. He didn't even notice that the gold dust had vanished. He really needed to pay more attention.
"Ya?" He replied.
"Just seeing if you were still awake," she said. Jack moved his hand a little. He wanted to hold her hand. Holding her hand wouldn't hurt, right? Jack wanted to say something to her too. He didn't like the silence while they were both up. Ugh, he felt completely stupid right now. What was this girl doing to him? He felt like she was changing him. He didn't think that was a bad thing though. Was it? Honestly, he would always be his immature self (he is the Guardian of FUN after all), she just changed him in other ways. Jack never really thought of girls that much. He was too preoccupied with helping the younger children lately that they never crossed his mind. But then he laid eyes on Sophie and BAM! She never left his mind.
Uh, but don't miscomprehended what he means. He didn't mean looks wise (though, her looks were a bonus). He's noticed her before their encounter before anyway. Jack remembers when she had turned fifteen he thought of going for a visit but of course Jack was with Pippa, so he went to go to see Sophie. She was up in her room, just drawing. She hadn't noticed Jack. She was too absorbed in drawing to notice him.
Jack found himself in a trance, just watching her hand guide the pencil across the page. It wasn't until it was done that he realised what it was.
Him.
At first he was shocked that Sophie even remembered what he looked like after three years absence. Then he thought it was sweet- trying hard to remind himself that this was ankle-biter here! It was Sophie Bennett. He flew off before even talking to her or before she noticed him. He felt a a small but guilty for not visiting as much, but he assured himself it would be fine. And it had been.
He just didn't expect to really fall hard for Sophie when he showed up last week.
Last week? It's felt longer than that. Not in a bad way, of course. But considering the amount of drama which has happened during the week, it has felt way longer than it should have.
Thinking about what had happened, Jack's stomach twisted. What if something had happened to Sophie? Sure, he liked her more than a friend, but she was one of his best friends. He'd hate himself if something happened to her. He knew he'd do anything to keep her safe. He made that vow for her and Jamie after the battle against Pitch. Sophie wasn't involved, but technically she was his first believer. He remembered back to when he brought her home and he tried to place her gently in her bed... That had not ended so well. He smiled at the memory.
"What are you thinking about?" Sophie asked him. He jumped a little in fright. Jack had not realised that she was even looking in his direction. How could he of been so oblivious? He had been to distracted by his thoughts.
"Oh, nothing really," he sighed.
Jack was fully aware of the gap between them.
"Do you think we're stupid?" she asked him after a brief silence. Jack felt a sharp pang in his chest. Was that her way of saying she regrets saying those words? Jack hoped not... But then, he thought of their whole situation and realised what she was talking about. All of this. Them. Jack first thought about that too. Maybe it was stupid to like each other. Jack enjoyed doing stupid stuff so if that were the case. He knew in the end it wouldn't work out, but these moments would live with him forever. Literally forever.
Jack looked at her. Even in the darkness of the room he could see the sparkle in her emerald green eyes. Plucking up courage, he took her hand in his. Hers was so warm compared to his. It was comforting, really. "Nah, I don't think we are," he finally replied after thinking about it. "I like to think that we're just two young teens-" Sophie snorted at this knowing Jack's real age and all- "trying to enjoy ourselves."
"Wow, that's deep," Sophie replied with a light chuckle that always made Jack's heart race faster. "Who are you and what have you done with the real Jack Frost?" she joked, poking him in the side. He squirmed away from her, laughing quietly. Sophie was just so easy to talk to and get along with. It was absolutely impossible not to fall for her.
"I can be deep," Jack protested sarcastically.
"Ya, about as deep as a puddle," Sophie said.
Okay, Jack first thought he was imagining it, but then he heard it a second time. Three quiet knocks coming from the window. Jack arched a brow and sat up. Sophie mustn't of heard the knock as she gave a questioning look towards him. He slipped his hand out of hers and went to the window. He drew back the blinds to come face to face with... Sandy.
Bewildered, Jack opened the window.
Sandy pointed up the sky and Jack immediately saw what he was indicating. The northern lights. Well, in other words, that was Jack's cue. Ugh, right now? That sort of sucked considering he had planned to go there in the morning. Plus, he didn't exactly want to leave Sophie right now. Sophie rushed out of bed and smiled at Sandy who returned it. She looked up to where Jack was looking and frowned. She knew that signal too.
"Well, there's a shocker," she muttered. "See you sometime tomorrow?"
"Duh," Jack replied. Should he kiss her goodbye? Man, he hated being new at this. He had no idea what he was doing at all, and he was afraid in case he messed something up somehow. Also, Sandy was there and that would be awkward. Agh! Too much confusion. "Uh, Sandy, I'll catch up with you in a few." Sandy smirked at Jack as though he knew... Jack wouldn't be surprised if Sandy did somehow know.
When Sandy had vanished, Jack turned to Sophie. "Sorry, duty calls," he apologised.
"Stay safe?" Sophie said, not very sure.
"Me? Stay safe? I should be saying that to you," Jack told her, laughing as she pulled a face at him. She'd be fine for a few hours... He hoped. No. He needed to stop having doubts. She would be fine. "Uh, goodbye kiss?" He suggested, a playful smirk on his face.
Sophie pecked him on the lips, and laughed. Jack couldn't help but smile. Her laugh was beautiful. Uh... Ya. Sorry, he got distracted a lot.
"Bye, Frosty," Sophie said as Jack jumped out the window. He winked at her before flying off.
Man, he felt absolutely amazing.
