A/N: I know this seemed faster and definitely longer compared to other one shots but it's because I've actually been working on some part of this since last year, one of my first but I ditched it for a while. Now, I felt like continuing and finishing it and hope yall enjoy. Also, sorry with the non frequent uploads. I've been busy but Ill try to keep up. Okies, bye2.
Lightning struck the sky of Safe Haven, painting the dark night with a flash of white before a thunderous roar engulfed the city. The noise filled rain adding to a mixture of gloominess that was already present for a certain jackal.
Jack was seen lying down on his couch, unfazed by the loud thunder and rain. The sound of dripping rain was somehow soothing to him. It's as if he was cut off from the rest of the world on his own private space, free from his worries, a peaceful world unlike the usual chaos he brings along with him. With his back rested perfectly on the couch, his fingers sliding down his phone and his eyes glued to the bright screen in front of him, he feels truly relaxed.
Jack was strolling down memory lane as he looks at the gallery in front of him. What was displayed were pictures of when he was young and fresh. The time when he was enjoying his youth with his friends from the theatre club at the Zoophoenix Academy.
His lips curve upwards as he views the comedic antique and joyful days he lived 8 years ago.
He smirked at the picture showing Spam joyfully jumping in a field of flowers while his young self was running away from a swarm of bees in the background. He still remembers how swollen his face was from all the stings. It scared kids for weeks.
His smile was then joined with a chuckle as he looks at a picture showing a frantic Kayla and Zill burning up a pan of bacon with Vanexa being totally oblivious of the fire. A lesson learnt for them to always leave the cooking to him next time. As he swipes up, again and again, soon, he reached the end, one final picture on their final day.
It was a picture of all of them together. Not just them but people who were close to him as well. His devilish cousin, Damian, their joyful music teacher, Jackie, and one person who always had lend an ear to him, Ms. Cameron. The students all wore their robe while tossing their hats while posing many unique postures as the picture was taken.
His finger traced the picture slowly as his mind was brimming with nostalgia. It was their last day and... he never saw them again.
His smile reversed into a frown as a feeling of longing starts to develop. As he looked at the picture, longer and longer, he realised something. He looks at Spam with his head resting on Vanexa's. A relationship that no one expected but welcomed.
He then shifts to Kayla and Zill hugging each other with a bright smile on their faces. They were always the power couple in their school. And then there was him. He looks happy in the picture, it was probably one of the best moment in his life but it's as if he was missing something, or at least... someone.
All his life, he was alone but it's not the fact that he doesn't have friends, obviously that's not the case. It's the fact that he doesn't have that special someone. He crushed easily back then but he didn't make a move on any of em. He was just too afraid of the disasters that could happen. Trust him, he knew a thing or two about disasters.
He frowns over the fact that he relied too heavily on his friends. Always causing trouble, always being a nuisance. His friends doesn't think like that about him but he does. It was why he was afraid to make the first step in a loving relationship. He stood frozen, scared of the rejection he might receive, the pain his someone would take because of him.
After graduation, he realised that love might not be a thing for him. He felt afraid that his friends wouldn't always be with him now. It's probably why he sheltered himself in his house right now in the rain.
He lets out a deep sigh as he covers his eyes with one arm. His other arm rests as he flips the phone, placing it down.
"I'm just thinking too much cause of the rain... yeah... definitely the rain..." He thought to himself as he hoped this was the real truth.
His eyes than laid on the windows of his house stained by a thousand droplets of rain. He then flips his phone back up and raises in to his face. He looks at the time and it was already getting late.
He then pushed his leg at an attempt to get up from his couch. He then stood up as he walks slowly towards the windows looking outside. He looks around to see the streets being bombarded by rain.
"Well, it'd suck if the forecast is true!" He wished so that the downpour wouldn't last for very much longer.
His hand then reaches for the blinds as he closes them to obtain his privacy as he went to the stairs to go to his bed. Out of nowhere, he froze in his tracks before something came inside him.
"Did... did I just see someone on my door?"
He rushed back to the blinds as he frantically opens them only resulting in them falling apart and breaking down as they came crashing down towards him.
"Fuck! You gotta be kidding me!" He curses his bad luck as the blinds was lying on his feet.
He then grunts from sheer annoyance before choosing to ignore it as he takes another look outside his window. He turns to his side as his mouth gaped open. He saw someone lying low against his door in the heavy rain.
"What the...
He was completely baffled as he quickly made his way to the door. He didn't even think twice as he turns the knob opened. He didn't care how reckless it was, it could have been a robber but he couldn't leave someone in the rain like that.
The door than swung open revealing a female red kangaroo. Her body immediately dropped inside the house as if it was lifeless.
Jack's eyes bulge as he immediately recognised the frozen figure.
"Oh my god! Kayla!"
He immediately wrap his hands around her armpits as he pulls her inside, immediately closing the door. He laid her down with her body facing upwards on the floor to see her condition as he gasped. One of her eyes was swollen as her arms display some atrocious grip marks which shows some swelling. What's worse was that she was bleeding from her head.
"Kayla? Kayla?!!!" He yells at her but she wasn't responding.
"Is she...no!!!" He immediately cancels that thought as he places two fingers on her neck.
However, his fingers was just too cold to receive any sort of pulse. He couldn't feel anything. He tried not too panic as he immediately rests his head above her chest trying to pick up any sign she was alive.
He was silent but he prayed hard that she was still alive.
"Please, please, please, please!"
He waited then... badump, badump.
He breathes a sigh of relief, knowing she was still alive. But it wasn't over, he knew that he immediately need to treat her. Luckily, he took medicine as his minor in astronomy so he might be able to help her a little.
He then gently lifts her and places her on his couch. He then places a blanket and some heat packs on her so she wouldn't suffer from hypothermia before he scrambled to his kitchen for a first aid kit.
"God! Where is it?!" He panics as he search everywhere, in the cabinets and drawers before finding in hiding on top of his fridge. Luckily, nothing went wrong so far.
He immediately went back to her as he knelt down besides her placing the kit on the table in front of him. His hand then zooms for his phone as he quickly dials Zill's number. Just as he was about to press the call button, something suddenly grabbed his arms catching him by surprise.
It was Kayla with ber bruised face as her mouth was muttering something weakly. He couldn't hear what it was so he tries to tell her.
"It's okay Kayla, I'll get Zill!" Jack says to her but she then carved a horrified look. It was then Jack was able to pick up what she said.
"D-dont... c...c-call... d-don't..." She breathes out as she was too weak to speak louder.
"Don't call? Don't call who?" Jack asks her with a confused look.
"Don't c-call... Z...Z..Zi...Zill..." Kayla mutters softly before her eyes give in as she passed out.
"Kayla?!" Jack tries to wake her but he then realised she was unconscious. His eyes then switches back to his phone. Zill's name was directly in front of his fingers.
"Why would she say that?" Jack questions himself.
Was he hearing her correctly? Why would she stop him from calling her boyfriend? The question rang in his mind for a long time but he knew he shouldn't ponder too long. He knew it would be the right thing to do since Kayla is his girlfriend but he knew what he heard so he immediately turns off his phone, choosing to trust Kayla before immediately opening the kit to treat her wounds.
He examines her more closely, his eyes scanning her injuries. He couldn't help but dread on her current condition.
"What happened to you?" He spoke to himself before shaking his head trying to not dwell more about it. His hand soon moves closer as he begins to treat her injuries.
All Kayla could feel was pain and grief. She couldn't see anything else but the dark abyss staring back at her. She was lost in a strange world with no prior memory of what happened. She felt as if she was walking but it's as if there wasn't any floor. Her heart sunk at the thought of no escape as she continues to wander in the dark. Suddenly, something else was shining upon her. A bright light in the far distance. For the first time, she could see it, she reached out to it. Her hands extends as she tries to grab the last bit of light in front of her.
Kayla's eyes flickered slowly as a ray of light penetrated her eyes. She groans from the annoyingly bright light but she couldn't move her hands to block it. She became confused but she tries to adjust her eyes slowly instead. Soon, she was able to open it fully as she examines the light in front of her.
It was the morning sun peeking from the window in front of her. Somehow, she doesn't recognise the window design in front of her. It wasn't her house or even her parents. She turns her head to the side to see a small tv and some frames of pictures hung on the walls that she doesn't recognise. Her hand touched below her to feel the leather of a couch but this wasn't her couch.
"W-where am I?" She thought to herself as she tries to get up.
As soon as she tries to lift her arm, an extreme amount of pain surge through her making her yelp in pain. She tighten her lips at the sudden pain as small tears escape her eyes.
She looks down to see herself only in her bra and pants as her shirt was removed.
"Kayla! Don't move!"
She then hears a familiar voice but she couldn't move her head due to the pain. She picks up the person's footsteps closing in on her before stopping right besides her.
"W-who?" She whimpers with a mixture of pain and fear.
"It's me! It's me, Jack!" He says as he tries to calm her down.
"J-Jack? Wh- How are you here? W-where am I?! W-where's my shirt?" She asks him confused. Suddenly, she winced in pain but she couldn't do anything.
"Wait! Don't talk!"
He tells her as he grabs some pills from a bottle.
"Eat this, they should reduce the pain!" Jack hands her the pill but she couldn't move at all.
"Oh right... ummm open wide Kayla!" He tries to feed her the pills instead.
Kayla was confused about the situation she was in. She didn't know anything and she couldn't remember what led her to this but what she knew was she can trust Jack. She the opens her mouth slowly to reduce the aching as Jack drops the pills into her mouth.
He then grabs a glass of water and tells her, "Here, drink this!" He then tilts the glass a little bit so she could drink the water and swallow the pills with it.
"Well, that's done, you'll feel better soon!" Jack reassures her.
"Where am I?" Kayla croaks at him which made him raise an eyebrow.
"You're at my house! Don't you remember coming here last night? You were all drenched and bleeding!!" Jack asks her back.
"L-last night? I can't remember." She was utterly clueless of her situation. Her memory was a bit hazy.
"You were passed out in the rain in front of my door, bruised and everything, honestly, I wanted to tell Zill but you-" Jack frantically explains to her.
"ZILL!!! Don't call Zill! DON'T! Please!!!" She suddenly bursts out begging at him even grabbing his arm despite her pain. He paused at her sudden reaction, confused on her statement.
"W-why?" He asks her softly but she just stares at him. She bit her lip as she closes her eyes. Jack could see waves of grief and regret flowing down her face. He knew that things were starting to come back for her.
"Kayla... I need to know... Who did this to you?" He asks her but she didn't respond. She even turns her face away and Jack could see tears flowing down her face.
He reaches his hand out to her as he touches her elbow. She could feel his warmth as she turns back to him. Jack didn't know who did this to her but... as much as he wanted to believe, he needed to ask her one question.
"Was it Zill?" He asks her softly. She saw the genuine concern flashed on his expression. She then nods slowly which shocked him. A wave of anger flowed through him but he chose to calm himself down for her.
"It's alright Kayla... just rest up... you've been through a tough night!" Jack reassures her as Kayla nods slowly.
"A-and... my... clothes?" Kayla shyly asks him about her topless condition.
"Ohh... I'm sorry... I uhhh... had to cut them apart so I could, treat your bruises. I rushed so I had no other choice!" Jack says while turning away with a blush.
"It's... fine..." Kayla says weakly before closing her eyes, passing out. He knew how much pain she must have went through so he chose to let her rest and not bother her with the questions flooding his mind.
A few hours later,
Kayla's nose twitch at the smell of spaghetti and mushroom... her favourite meal. Instantly, her eyes shot open to the sight of Jack putting down a plate of the meal on the coffee table in front of her and a clear glass of water.
"I thought you might be hungry..." Jack states as he puts down a set of fork and spoon. However, Kayla didn't move from her spot as he realised the reason.
"Ohh, does it... still hurt to move?" He asks her as he puts his hand on her shoulder.
Kayla bit her lip and nodded slowly. He could see Kayla grimace at her condition.
Kayla bit her lip as she tries to hold back her tears. Her face dove down as she tries to hide it from Jack. Suddenly, she was surprised to feel Jack's arms circling around her. She then could feel herself being lifted up slightly before being put in a sitting position on the couch. He then sat next to her and pushed her to lie on his shoulders.
"J-Jack?" She exclaims confused.
"It's okay, I'll just feed you then..." Jack responded as he grabs the piping hot plate of spaghetti and mushrooms and a fork.
He slowly spins the fork to grab a roll of the noodle before bringing it in front of Kayla's mouth.
"Open wide..." Jack says to her as Kayla looks down at the fork. She then bites on it, pulling it off the form before chewing and savouring the umami flavour. It's been a while since she ate such a good meal. Jack continued to feed her as she enjoys the taste of her favourite meal but she failed to notice something dripping off her face.
As Jack was spinning his fork again, his ears perk at her voice. He instantly turns to his side to see tears dripping down Kayla's face. She couldn't contain her sob as she looks down trying to hide whatever emotion she was displaying from Jack.
Suddenly, she could feel Jack's hand cupping her cheeks as he directs her gaze towards his.
"Kayla, please, I'm worried about you... tell me what happened? Why... did Zill do this to you?" He asks her as Kayla looks away in shame.
"It... a long story...
Me and Zill decided to stick together after college. He went off to join the force, or at least he was trying to get hired and I got accepted as a starting intern at a music company.
We were doing well for quite some time. We got a cheap apartment to rent, quite a bunch of savings to survive on and most importantly, we had each other. We were... happy.
It all changed a few months ago, when Zill came home all frustrated and angry. It seems that his last hope of getting accepted for a job at the force was declined. He got home all drunk and cranky but... I didn't think of it as anything at that time.
I'm so stupid, so so stupid!!!
Kayla wipes off her tears as she cursed herself. She then feel Jack's hand resting on hers. He wants to comfort her in her pain.
Where was I? Oh... yes... At that time, it seemed trivial but I knew how sad and disappointed he was that he didn't get to join the force. I knew he felt cheated that others who were unqualified like him was able to be accepted and he didn't just because of his... 'kind'.
But... after that, he kept returning later and later every night. I was just so worried for him everyday. One night, I couldn't sit still and just left to look for him cause I was so worried. I kept track of the general location of nearby bars and I was able to find him. Instead, I was horrified at what I saw. I saw him... with another girl... They were acting all friendly but I know... I knew... him. I knew he wouldn't do it.
I tried to stop him that night, I tried to enter the bar and tell him but... I was too afraid if he answered. What if... he didn't love me anymore? So I left... and I didn't say anything to him. I...*sniff*... I just wanted him to stay with me.
But another problem came. We needed money to pay our rent. At first, I wanted to ask my parents to help me but... I don't want them to know about Zill... What would happen to us if they knew... I loved him to much for that...
Jack gripped his fists tightly at that statement but he kept his anger hidden from her.
So, I decided to pick up a part time job. It wasn't much but it was barely enough to put food on the table and keep our apartment. But, one day... we were... arguing... about 'something'.
Kayla bit her lips as she pushed her hands on her thigh.
That was yesterday... He didn't want me to leave him alone. He said I was a terrible partner for not looking after him. He said I was selfish and useless. For the first time in my life, I snapped at him. I told him all his secrets, the stuff he'd been doing behind my back. I let out all my feelings at him, all my frustrations about him but he didn't budge.
I told him I had enough and I wanted to leave to stay at my parents house for a while but he didn't... take it to kindly. Just as I was about to leave, he grabbed onto my wrist...
Tears flowed down Kayla's face like a river as she told Jack. He could feel her anger and grief as all he could do was stare.
He shoved me to the ground, pinning me down. He looked at me with a look, as of I was the cause of his pain and suffering. As if he didn't... love me anymore. He screamed at me, telling me not to leave and how he would stop me no matter what.
I couldn't stand it so I knew I needed to run. I shoved him back. Luckily he was drunk so it didn't took much effort but it was a struggle. I tried to reach for the door but he bashed me into it. My head came crashing at the door but I was desperate. I managed to shove him back before running outside and sprinting. I didn't even know if it was the rain or my tears that kept running down my face. I just ran and ran but I wasn't aware where I was going or what am I supposed to do.
I just kept thinking of all the good times we had back then, and how has it led to this. How much of a selfish and cowardly person I was to let my partner drift off like that? If I...*sniff* maybe it is my fault... maybe Zill was right... If I hadn't froze, if I wasn't so useless maybe he and I would still-
Suddenly, she felt a warmth engulfing her. She turns to her side to see Jack sobbing as he hugs her.
"NO!! It isn't your fault!! Don't tell yourself that!! No matter what!!! He's out of order this time!! Don't blame yourself!!"
Jack speaks in his tears as he felt her pain. He was ignorant of all his friends conditions all this years and to think he was warm and comfy in his own house while his close friend was suffering every day.
Kayla couldn't hold her tears back as she was bawling her eyes out. Her hand gathered enough strength as they make their way behind Jack as she grabs him and embraces him.
For a while he didn't think of anything but a thought came to him. Isn't Kayla currently topless? Well, she had a bra covering her but still the thought of her skin and him touching suddenly makes him flustered. He wanted to separate but he felt Kayla's arms tightening around him as he tried.
"Please... don't go..." Kayla whimpers at him causing him to pity her.
That night, both of them comforted each other as Jack embraces his forlorn friend.
Morning came as the rain from a couple of days ago stopped as the morning dew greeted the couple. Kayla was wide awake as she was sipping on a cup of hot coffee Jack made as he was looking outside at the morning atmosphere.
"Hey, Jack..." She suddenly calls him.
"Hmm?"
Jack immediately sat besides her to hear what she'd wanted to say.
"I was going to ask you... but... how did you know about what I liked?" Kayla asks him as she took a sip from her coffee.
"What'd you mean?" He asks her while raising an eyebrow.
"I mean... the spaghetti last night, and... coffee in the morning... How did you know I like them?" Kayla asks him.
Jack blushed at the question as he scratched his cheeks.
"W-well, I always observed what you like since we're in school, I mean not as in a creepy stalker kind of way, ya know, like, when we're always hanging out, I always memorise which meals you usually order, again, please don't strike me as a creep, I... oh man..." Jack immediately covered his face with his hands as he was flustered about it.
Suddenly, he could pick up Kayla's giggles from besides him. He looks to his side to see Kayla suddenly bursts out in laughter making him embarrassed.
"Please don't laugh at me..." Jack begged her as his ears droop.
"I'm sorry... haha... it's just..." Kayla suddenly trails off as her chuckling stopped. She suddenly looks at him with a warm look.
"... I... missed you..." Kayla says to him as Jack's eyes grew.
"I... I missed you t-
Suddenly, there was a series of hard knocks on his door making both of them flinch as Jack instantly shot towards the door. Somehow, he had a bad feeling as to the reason for the knock. He looks into the peephole and matters couldn't be worse! It was Zill.
He immediately looks back frantically as Kayla picks up the change in his expression. He immediately puts a finger on his lips notifying her to keep quite.
He then opens the door ever so slightly as he looks outside. He only revealed a partial view of his home but it was blocked by his body standing in the way.
"Z-Zill, what brings you here?" Jack acts surprised as he tries to keep his emotions composed.
He could see how Kayla's story checks out about his new drinking habit. His clothes look messy and he had stains on his shirt, probably alcohol. His face looks like he had just recovered from drinking last night, as his eyes had dark bags underneath. His facial hair wasn't taken care off in anyway and he smelled as if he hasn't showered for a week. He was a total mess but he isn't someone Jack could, well... 'mess' with.
"Ohh, I... It's nothing, just wanted to check on an old pal!" Zill grins at him as he rubs the back of his neck. Jack didn't know of his intention as he just laughs back.
"Oh well, missed you too buddy!" Jack replies with a fake smile and happy tone.
"Umm anyways, Kayla hasn't drop by did she?" He immediately changed the topic of the conversation.
Jack immediately figured out his intention.
"Kayla? Why would she be here? What happened?" Jack lies to him.
"Oh nothing! She went out today and I thought she dropped by to look for you, haha!!" Zill chuckled uneasy at Jack's sudden question.
"Drop by to look for me? Why?"
"It's nothing to worry about!" Zill says with a smile that almost caused Jack to flip. No matter how calm of a person he was, Zill's action had really pushed him to the limit.
"Nothing to worry about? She arrived half-dead and you want me to calm down!!" He was fuming inside.
"Anyways, can I come in? I haven't visited you in a while?" Zill asked him.
"Bullshit!! You just wanted to check for her, how dare you, you fucking piece of sh-
"Oh, noooo... you actually can't... I kinda have an online meeting for work in a couple of minutes, and it's kinda important... I'm sorry but I think you came at a bad time. Maybe next time, I can even show you around the neighborhood!"
Jack smiles at him as Zill sighs heavily. Somehow, Jack noticed he was staring at him as if he was trying to figure out his intention but in the end, he gave up and looks away. Suddenly, he easily puts on a smile as he looks at Jack.
"Aw, that's a bummer! Thanks for the offer though! Well, great seeing ya!" Zill holds an arm to shake with Jack. Jack wanted him to leave right away so he took his arms to shake. However, unknowing to him, Zill had a devious plan up his sleeve for the unaware and unlucky jackal.
He suddenly tugged on Jack's hand as he pulls him outside. Jack didn't see it coming as he was forced outside from his home as Zill took the opportunity to enter through the door. Jack who stumbled instantly gets up to stop him but it was too late.
He closes his eyes to prepare for Zill's wrath but it was silent for a while. He looks inside to see that it had no one. Kayla wasn't present on the couch that she was resting on earlier.
"S-so this is your house!!" Zill tries to cover up for his mistake as he acts interested in his house. Suddenly, Jack appeared in front of him with scorn on his face.
"What did you think you were doing? Leave!! I'm busy!!" Jack's anger was evident enough for Zill too take note as he walks out not even saying an apology or looking eye to eye with Jack. Instead, Jack could even hear him clicking his tongue at Jack's order. Jack could pick up his grumbles as he clenches his fist. Just as he was about to close his door, Zill suddenly spoke.
"You know, I really hate it when my friends... well lie to me. Just don't be a hero, ya know. You might just end up hurt!" Zill suddenly says to him in a threatening tone as Jack just took it in. He breathes too control his anger as he smiles at Zill.
"What're you talking about?" Jack asked with a hint of anger as he didn't appreciate the tone of the message.
"It's nothing, just... wanted to give some 'life' advice to my friend!" Zill responded with a smile.
"Just a friend huh? What happened to you Zill?"
Jack thought inside.
"Haha that's funny! Maybe you should learn some manners now you've grown up as well! At least, Kayla should deserve a man like that, right?" Jack throws an insult back and he could see how Zill is trying to hold up his anger.
"Yeah, yeah, anyways see you later Jack!" He waves at him as Jack waves back. He then walks away as he puts his arms inside his jean pockets.
"Prick!" Zill muttered under his breath as he walks along the pavement onto his next destination.
"Douchebag!" Jack mutters as well as he closes his door. He them breathes a sigh of relief before instantly looking around for Kayla. He then could pick up muffled voices from the kitchen.
He could see her lying against his fridge as he reached the kitchen. He could see her painting as she held her stomach as he knew how much pain she was in too move that far.
He then lifts her up and gently rests her back again on the couch as he sighed as he looks into her condition.
"Is-is he gone?" Kayla asked while wincing in pain, one of her eyes shut.
"Yeah... he's gone!" Jack sighs in relief. He then another close look at her before saying.
"Kayla, we need to get you into a hospital! Your condition's only going to get worse if we don't get you treated!"
Kayla looks at Jack for a while as she understands his intentions but... she was worried at the same time that Zill might find out about her. Then, she could never escape from his grasp. Somehow, Jack also knew what she was thinking. He then looks away as he tries to think of something to help her.
"J-Jack..."
He then turns as Kayla softly calls for him.
"It's okay... I'll leave... Thank you for taking care of me..." Kayla spoke with an evident hint of sadness. Suddenly, she could hear him let out a long sigh.
"You'll leave... and go where? I know you're not going to go to a hospital since Zill might find you! You ain't going to your parents house either cause of him... So what? You're going to stay at a hotel somewhere? You can't even walk properly, how're you going to eat?" Jack asked her this series of questions.
"I... don't know... but I can't keep troubling you... What if Zill finds out and he hurt you?! I can't let you-
She suddenly feels his hand on top of her shoulders.
"And what? Beat me up? I can't die! I'll just stand back up again, so let's just see who goes down first!"
Jack says with a smirk and a determined gaze.
"W-why, *sob, why are you doing this for me?" Kayla asks him as tears ran down her cheeks. Suddenly, she could feel his thumb, brushing off her tears.
"Because I care for you!" Jack answers before hugging her tight. Kayla replies him embrace with her own and somehow even with her grief, a small smile formed on her lips.
"Now, you'll still need some medication, especially since you're heavily injured. I can get a doctor to come by and check up on you once in a while, plus, I know a... guy that probably can get us some healing potions... you wouldn't mind if they're made in the underworld right?" Jack asks her as she shakes her head.
"I don't mind!" Kayla says to him as he brought out his phone.
"Good, now I gotta make some calls..." Jack says but he was interrupted by her.
"But Jack? What about your work? Are you sure I won't bother you?!" She asks him with concern as that question never came to mind. He needed to take care of her but since he'd probably be busy, he wouldn't have enough time most of the week.
"Well, I guess it's time for a holiday!" Jack replies nonchalantly as he dials a number.
After a few second, the receiving end picks up.
"Yo, Jackster, what's up?" The voice asked him.
"Hey, uhh, d-do you know anyone that can make me some, healing potions? For broken bones and maybe some for bruises and bleeding?" He asks the other person through the phone.
"W-why? You're immortal anyway right? What'd you need them for?" The person asks back in curiosity.
"It's for something important! Please, can you just make it happen?" Jack asks but he was met with a long pause. Suddenly, a sigh could be heard through the phone.
"*sigh* Fine... I'll get them to you as soon as possible! Just don't tell the old man, okay! He'll be pissed if he knew I was smuggling hell products outside!" The person says as Jack was thankful.
"Thank you, thank you so much!" Jack says as the other person groans.
"Yeah, yeah, just know that you owe me one! Anyways, ciao!" The person says as he hangs up.
"So, that thing's done, just one more thing!"
He dialed up his phone once again as the other side immediately picks up.
"Jackson Wells's office, how can I help you?" The person says in a monotonous voice.
"Hey, Lisa, it's Jack...
"Oh... director, what can I help you with?" She asks Jack.
"Umm, can you schedule a leave for me...I'll be taking some days off now!"
"Ohh sure!! How long would you like?" She asks him.
"Maybe a couple of months... maybe more?" Jack responded.
"A couple of months? Well... that shouldn't be a problem since you're the director but... ~can I ask why?~" Lisa suddenly asks in an interested tone.
"W-well, short story, I... need to, umm... spend some taking care of someone..." Jack didn't know how to put it without getting into more details.
"My, my, who's the lady that stole your heart!" She teased him as Jack became flustered.
"W-what? No? It isn't like that! She's just and old friend!"
"Oh she eh? She's an old friend that stole your heart! Jacky, didn't know you were such an old-school romantic?" She cooes making blush even more.
"J-just, could you do it or not?!!" Jack responded with a frustrated look.
"Of course I can, don't worry about it! Now, take your mind off work and spend some time with your lady, just... don't forget to tell me the details about your wedding when you come back, okay then, tata~ hehehe"
The lady on the end ended the call with a mischievous giggle making Jack baffled at the behaviour of his secretary. He just sighs in defeat knowing at least all of his problems has been taken care off.
"Well, everything's taken care of Kayla, you'd have nothing to worry about!" Jack reassures her as she couldn't help stand up using her remaining strength and hugs him again.
"Thank you, thank you!" She repeatedly chants as Jack couldn't help but feel appreciated by her.
This marks the start of them living together with each other as Jack helps nurse her back to health.
After a month passed, with the help of the potions he got from a certain demon prince in hell, Kayla was able to recover a great amount of her health. Naturally, she was able to walk around again which made Jack glad and happy but somehow he feels sad knowing, that one day she would leave and he'll be all alone again.
One night, it was raining again, this time it was like a thunderstorm... The constant bellows of the thunder and flashes of lightning really made it quite the downpour. Somehow, it felt familiar to him but he didn't mind it.
Besides him, was Kayla... she was gazing at the tv with a pillow in between her arms. He knew he shouldn't think like this but, she was so beautiful. Every part of her which is unsurprising why most male students used to compete for her back when she was single in highschool.
She suddenly turns as she beams at him before suddenly going in for a hug. It caught him by surprise as she questions her.
"K-Kayla, what're you doing?" He asks her as she cheekily respond.
"What? I can't hug someone I care about?" She nonchalantly respond making him blush.
"Well, you seemed healthy!" Jack tries to make conversation as she suddenly pouts.
"Why... you're gonna kick me out?" She suddenly asks him as his flustered self went berserk.
"W-wha! No! I didn't mean it that way!" He raps out but he stops when he heard laughter.
"I'm just kidding Jack!" She laughs as she sends him a nudge on the shoulder.
"Don't kid around like that!" Jack sounds upset as he looks away.
"Why? You're gonna miss me?" She asks him but didn't expect him to immediately answer, looking straight at her.
"Yes.." He says to her with a straight face. Honestly, she turns away scratching her cheek feeling flushed.
"I'm gonna miss you when this is over..." He continues.
"I'm... gonna miss you too..." Kayla replies as both of them looked away from each other. Actually, this wasn't the first time they felt this way towards each other.
"Well this is awkward!" Jack scratches his head. Suddenly, Kayla moves closer towards him which caught him off guard as she lies her head next to him.
"Jack, I'm actually really thankful... for everything... You've been by my side ever since that day and... I don't know how I can repay you..." Kayla tells him as Jack listened intently.
"You don't have to... I did it because I care about you as... as a friend..." Jack responded trying to keep himself from blurting the actual truth of his feelings. Both of them stayed silent for a while before Jack spoke up.
"Kayla... I've been meaning to ask you..." Kayla's attention was put on him as he turns with a serious face.
"After all of this is over, what happens between... you and... 'him'!" Jack carefully avoids the mentioning of Zill's name.
"I... I don't know... but... what I do know is him and me are over!" Kayla said which made Jack surprised.
"The way he treated me... after everything... I lost my faith and love towards him..." Kayla continues as Jack couldn't help but feel pity.
"I'm sorry..." Jack couldn't help but say but Kayla shook her head at him.
"Don't be sorry... At least, because of him, I found a man that truly loves and cares for me..." Kayla suddenly said which made Jack's eyes wide. He shot towards her to question her.
"What do y-
He was suddenly met with a kiss, catching him off guard. He was panicking at first but he got a close look at Kayla's eyes. A warm and loving flame was filling her gaze as Jack couldn't help but return the same passion. He then pushes his lips towards her as he opens his jaw. Their tongue met and was circling around as they got a taste of each other. Kayla tasted heavenly in his opinion. The smell of sweat and saliva filled his nostrils as they kissed. Soon, they separated for air as both of them were left panting after the kiss, a trail of saliva breaking of between their tongues.
"K-Kayla, I didn't know you felt that way!" Jack states as Kayla smiles warmly at him.
"I always felt this way, ever since you took care of me. I wanted to tell you but I was afraid, though, I knew... I couldn't make the same mistake again... Still, I took the risk... but I... didn't expect that you liked me as well!" Kayla says to him.
"You're kidding?! I had a crush on you ever since you arrived... Truth be told, I was always lonely but ever since you arrived, I had this feeling deep inside of me. I want you to know that I love you Kayla! I'm really happy for all the time you've spent with me and I know now, the only person I ever want to cherish my time with, is you!" Jack smiles at her as he sees a drop of tear flow down.
"Me too Jack!" She confesses as both of then went in for a deeper kiss this time. Their arms wrapped around each other as they forced more of themselves onto each other.
As they were indulging in their kiss, Kayla suddenly felt something poking her legs. She broke off from the kiss much to his dismay to look at the object. It was a boner from his pants that made her blush.
"Getting excited are we?" Kayla asked him despite her blush as Jack couldn't help but scratch his head in embarrassment. Kayla giggles but was suddenly caught off guard when Jack suddenly lifted her up bridal style.
"J-Jack?" She asked him in confusion.
"Let's take it to the bedroom!" Jack responded with a makeshift dominant gaze making Kayla slightly giggle.
"Okay... big boy!" She whispered the last part in his ears sending tingles down his neck.
Jack laid her down on the bed before climbing on top of her as he took off his shirt and tosses it aside. He immediately dove down for a feral kiss as Kayla was put to his mercy.
"You probably waited until I healed so you can go this wild huh?" Kayla cooed at him as he grinned, revealing his fangs.
"So what if I did?!" He responded bravely which was unlike him making her eyes filled with lust.
Her hand suddenly makes it way to his cheek as she brought his face closer to her.
"Then... why don't you undress me?" She whispered as Jack couldn't help but grin. He crashed his lips onto her again as his hands begin removing her shirt.
She lifted her arms as they separated for a while for her to ditch her shirt before he went in again. This time, his fingers was busy undoing her bra while her hands slid his jeans off revealing his huge boner resting in his boxers. As her bra was undone, Jack took the opportunity to go in as grope onto her bra, squishing it and playing with her nipple. He could feel her moan into his mouth as they missed.
Both of them then separated as Jack slid off his boxers making his dick spring off as Kayla removed her pants and panties revealing her moist sex.
"Didn't know Jack Jr was this excited!" Kayla commented as her hand snakes its way towards his dick as she touched the bottom side making him groan slightly. Jack also didn't miss his chance to put a finger in her moist pussy as he begins massaging her.
A sweet and loud moan escaped her mouth as she rised for another kiss. Both of them begin jacking each other off as they indulged in their smooch. A trail of saliva was always present as they separated for air as both of them looked into each other's eyes filled with lust.
Kayla could feel precum dripping onto her hands as she rubs his dick. Jack on the other hand could easily feel his fingers getting wetter as he thrusted deeper. Both of them was getting excited before Kayla spoke.
"Please, p-put it in me!" Kayla spoke softly in between her moans but Jack didn't catch it.
"What?" He begs her pardon before he got a look at a totally feral and lust filled kangaroo.
"I said, stick your large dick in me and destroy my pussy, Jack!" She cooes at the last part but she sounded so dominant for Jack but he couldn't help but agree.
Jack then directs his penis towards her pussy as he aligns it with her entrance. With a nod from her, he pushes his rod deep into her as both of them moaned at the initial touch. Jack then pushed into her deeper as Kayla puts her arms around him. He was forced deeper into her because of her embrace.
Soon, his entire length was in as they waited for a while. After that, Jack slides his penis out a bit before going in again. Kayla moaned at his movements as Jack kept his pace. He was moving in a piston motion as he goes in and out of her. Kayla's sweet moans filled the room paired with the sounds of his balls slapping against her.
As time went by, he picked up his pace as he begins smashing her insides. Kayla's arms went weak as they felled to the side. She instantly clawed onto the mattress as the bed frame rocked at his movements. Kayla could feel him picking up his pace making her go crazy.
Kayla looks into his eyes as it was filled with the same urge for dominance she was fueled with a while back. More importantly, he had the eyes of a man who was seeking her love as she was to him.
She goes in for one final kiss as he was pounding her. Jack accepted the passionate kiss as he went further inside her. He begins pounding against her g-spot making her moan loudly inside him. He could feel her walls closing in on his dick and hugging it. He knew she was close and her actions was making him close as well.
They separated from the kiss from air as Jack maximize his speed. The sound of his balls slapping onto her was shadowed by her moans.
JACK!! JAAACKKKK!! I'M... I'M CUMMMING!!
Her walls completely squeeze his dick as she came. Her liquid came flowing down her pussy but Jack kept slamming into her. He knew that his orgasm was imminent.
KAYLA IMMM...
DO IT INSIDE... CUM IN ME JAAACK!!!
She moans with her eyes closed as Jack pounds his pussy one last time, smashing into her womb.
AARRGGHHHH
He groans as he came. His dick throbbed as he released his sperms inside her. Euphoria filled his mind as he was balls deep inside her. Kayla couldn't help smile at the feeling of his seed entering her as she hugs him tightly.
Soon, both of them overcame their sexual high as Jack laid besides her. Both of them was panting heavily, gasping for air. Kayla could feel some of her juices still leaking out of her pussy. She looks beside him and somehow knew they weren't done.
"You wanna try... anal..." Kayla asked him as he couldn't help feeling surprise. Is this the Christian girl he knew from high school? Anyway, it was still a good day for him.
Jack then starters getting up before kneeling. Kayla smiled at his decision as she took his wet cock which he was displaying in front of her. She then puts it in her mouth, licking of any excess cum that was present. The taste of their essence mixed together.
After a while, she lets go of his penis as she giggled at him. She then proceeds to crouch on all fours as Jack went behind her. She then proceeds to dove down, raising her ass up, revealing two jiggly orbs that enticed him.
She smirks as she gave him a teasing wiggle to see his reaction as it was filling Jack with the urge to grab them. He grabs a handful of her ass and smacks the other with his hand earning a sharp moan from her.
However, he didn't waste time as he grabbed his cock before inserting it at the entrance of her hole. Kayla moaned a bit at the tight sensation.
He then pushed his length into her anus, filling her up which made her moan each passing inch. After that, he slowly slides out until only his tip was still inside before he comes slamming down.
Kayla moaned at his movements as her tongue suddenly escaped from her lips. He pistons in and out of her making sure to pound her ass.
Kayla's moans became more vocal and it only helped fueled his lust. He even took the opportunity to slap her orbs as they jiggled making Kayla moan. He thrust harder into her as Kayla could feel herself coming closer to her climax.
As it was tighter than her pussy, Jack couldn't help but feel his orgasm nearing. He increased his pace to the max, slapping her ass even harder and more frequently. Their moans of pleasure filled the room in unison as their orgasm was imminent.
J-JACK!!
KAYLA!!!!
Both of them came simultaneously as Jack thrusted his rod deep inside her as Kayla claws towards his bedsheet tearing them apart. Kayla's eyes rose to the back of her head as she smiled at the feeling of his warm seed entering her. Her tongue was panting like a thirsty dog as her orgasm pursued. After a few seconds of orgasm, they spun as Kayla was on top of Jack as they laid down.
"You...ha, wanna, ha,... take a shower?" Jack pants as he asked her.
"M-ha, maybe,ha, tomorrow" She says before giving one last peck at Jack's lips. He happily excepted her soft peck as Kayla passed out on top of him. Both of them stayed that way as they slept through the harsh rain outside.
Somehow, Jack felt lucky despite his curse. On how his luck may have brought him a greater fortune. Someone that he could spend the rest of his life with, someone to protect, cherish and love. As for Kayla, she finally found a man that loved her and was willing to protect her. A friend to lover.
