10. Dance and run!
The next evening the girls came over to do my make-up for the dance and to wrestle me into that god forsaken dress.
"I'm not used to wearing make-up" I told them as they got out holly's make up bag.
"That's why you need as much of it as possible" said Elizabeth as she played my cheeks.
I laughed, then backed away scared as they came closer with the make-up and hair curler and had evil smiles on their faces.
XxX
When I came down the stairs jack and will were playing cards at the coffee table.
"Got any three's" will asked jack.
"Go fish" said jack.
"Liar!" said will taking a card from the deck.
Holly cleared her throat as she stood at the bottom of the stairs with Christie and Elizabeth, The boys looked up.
"Okay, it took us a whole twenty minutes…" said Elizabeth.
"…and almost half of the stuff in holly's make-up bag…" said Christie.
"… but here she is… ruby get down here!" holly yelled up the stairs.
I came down and everyone smiled, jacks smile was the biggest. I wore a Caribbean blue cocktail dress and really uncomfortable high heels. My hair was put in waves and my face felt like it had a hundred pounds of make-up on it. But as long as jack was smiling I figured it was worth it.
"Ruby… wow!" jack said to me.
"Why captain jack, are you speechless in front of me?" I asked.
He smirked "I guess so."
"Aww!" the rest of the gang said.
I laughed.
"Well, get going you guys!" said holly ushering us out the door "Go! Go! Go! Scoot!"
As they shut the door jack looked at me "are you seriously going to wear those high heels all night?"
I smirked and took a pair of blue high tops out of my purse and put them on.
XxX
We got to the school gym, we could hear the music blaring but Jack looked hesitated to go in.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"I don't really know how to dance" he replied sheepishly.
I raised an eyebrow "really?"
"Yes, I never really had time to learn" he said.
"Well, I'll teach you" I said "right now!"
He looked at me nervous "why now?"
"Because their playing my favorite song" I smiled, took his hand and dragged him onto the dance floor.
"Just put your hand on my waist and the other in my hand" I said guiding him through it.
"Okay" he said his voice shaking a bit.
"Don't worry about looking weird" I said "just look at me and try not to step on my feet."
"Alright" he said as the song started to play.
(AN: song is heaven is a place on earth by Belinda Carlisle)
When the night falls down
I wait for you
And you come around
And the world's alive
With the sound of kids
On the street outside
When you walk into the room
You pull me close and we start to move
And we're spinning with the stars above
And you lift me up in a wave of love..
Jack was doing amazing at dancing, he hadn't even stepped on my foot once since we started. I smiled at him, he smirked back with soft eyes. Oh, those beautiful eyes.
Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
they say in heaven love comes first
we'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
I rested my head on his shoulder, I could tell he wanted it there. When I was with jack at a moment like this, it was like all my troubles, all my worries, everything that was wrong with the world melt away.
When I feel alone
I reach for you
And you bring me home
When I'm lost at sea
I hear your voice
And it carries me
In this world we're just beginning
To understand the miracle of living
Baby I was afraid before
But I'm not afraid anymore
Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
they say in heaven love comes first
we'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
I loved him, I didn't care if he was a fictional character. He was a lot realer then the guys I'm used to. It's amazing our love started out as some crazy fangirl obsession, but the more I came to know him the more I came to realize the soft and sweet side to him that I never saw before. That I don't think anybody got to see before. And out of all the girls he's kissed and all the people in the world he showed that side to me and opened up to me. He must truly love me.
In this world we're just beginning

But I'm not afraid anymore
Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth

we'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
As the song ended we kissed, I didn't kiss him and he didn't kiss me. We just kissed and I loved every second of it, I wanted it to last forever, but he broke it breathing heavy.
"I love you, you know that right?" he asked.
"Of course I do, I love you too jack" I said.
"Remember it, remember me" he whispered in my ear.
As he said that something caught my eye by the fire exit of the gym, a guy. A guy that I knew. I looked him over and I knew him, it was Davy Jones in his human form.
"Jack, we have to get out of here" I said.
"Ruby, what is it?" he asked.
"Don't panic, but Davy Jones is here and there's only one reason he can be here"
Jack turned and looked that's when Davy recognized him.
"Ruby get in front of me and run" he said his voice terrified.
"What?" I said panicking.
"Just go, run back to your house, I'll follow!" he said.
I nodded and ran out of the gym, jack hot on my heels.
But so was Davy Jones.
