"Only You" a Jackson Passaglia Fanfiction

Part 60: Trust is a Process

"Well that's going to change."

Jackson's POV*

I rub my eyes as I get up from Gia's couch.

I see the door open and Gia is holding coffee and food.

"You were asleep and I didn't want to wake you." She smiles and I look at her suspiciously.

"Thanks." I say my voice drowsy.

She sets it on the table and I walk over examining the food. She hands me coffee and I look down at it.

"This is my favorite...how'd you know?" I ask.

"Just a lucky guess. I always come here." She says shrugging.

"Also...I'm sorry for everything. I know I already apologized but, I was being stupid." She says apologetically.

"Yes you were." I say smiling and she hits me.

"Hey it's only okay when I say it!" She yells and I roll my eyes.

"I get to say it since you have potentially ruined my relationship." I snap.

"You got me there...have you heard from her?"

"No..."

"Text her."

"I'm nervous."

"How long have you've known y/n?"

"Like over 10 years-"

"ARE YOU SERIOUSLY THINKING SHE'S GOING TO BREAK UP WITH YOU?! THERE IS TOO MUCH HISTORY." 

"I know, but this is hard for her. Her life isn't easy." I say frowning.

"Yes but try. You need to be persistent and understanding."

"Okay." I say taking a sip of my coffee and message y/n.

Message:

J: Good Morning love... I'm sorry for everything. Can we please talk soon?

Y/n<3: Why?

J: I want to see you.

Y/n<3: Go see Gia.. she's probably around you anyways.

J: It's not like that..Y/n please can we talk?

Y/n<3: I need space.

J: Okay I understand. I love you.

Y/n<3: Alr talk to you later.

--

"She didn't say 'I love you' back...she needs space. I'll give her today and maybe in a few hours I'll check." I say looking at Gia across from me.

"Okay...wait where is she?"

"I think she's with her Da-. DAD!" I stutter.

"Woah what's wrong?"

"Her dad can be abusive...she has no one over here like family."

"What are you going to do then?"

" I'm going to go check on her." I say standing up.

Your POV*

"So...I'll explain that later." Vincent says searching for a reaction.

"How much later?"

"When the time is right."

"Okay will that be soon?"

"You can say that." He says and I nod going upstairs.

I get ready and rush downstairs to go with Vincent.

I hate that all I really want is a Dad.

"Ready?" He says smiling.

"Yeah I am...bye Dad."

"Bye honey see you later." He calls out to us as we leave.

Vincent opens the door for me and I get in awkwardly.

"Something wrong?" He asks.

"No it's just no one really opens the door for me." 

" Well that's going to change." He says shutting my door.

"Let's go to the mall?" He suggests.

"Umm..sure." I say and he starts the car heading towards the mall.

When we get there I walk into almost all the stores. I grab clothes that make me feel confident.

"That will be 232.76.$"The lady says and I pull out my card.

"Hey I got it." He says and I look at him surprised .

"I mean it." He continues and I smile.

"Thank you." I say and he beams at me.

"No problem." He says and I walk out the store with him.

"Hey I wanted to ask you about something...or in this case someone."

"Yeah?" I say feeling a little better now to talk to him about these things.

"Jackson... I mean I've seen him before but I never thought you guys would end up together."

"Yeah me too. " 

" So what's going on?" He asks with caution.

" A girl kissed him in front of  me and now I just ugh." I say my face cringing a bit. 

"I'm sorry...guys can be stupid." He says looking down and clenching his fist.

Why is he so pressed over it?

"Yeah... so I just need space for a second and maybe we can talk it over." I say.

"He is so lucky to have you y/n. Many girls would have just walked off without a word or destroyed his things."

"That doesn't sound so bad."

"It doesn't." He says and we start laughing.

We bond for a couple more hours and we head back home.

"Thanks Vincent." I say.

"No problem hon- I mean y/n." He says and I smile walking up to my room and changing into some comfy clothes.

I look at the window and I see the sun setting. I look around the room and tears prick at my eyes. This room is filled with memories of us. I hug my bear and sob into it as the memories consume me. I stop suddenly as I hear a slam against the house.

"SHUT UP I'M THE ONE DOING THE TALKING BOY!"

A/N:  AHHH I AM SO EXCITED I HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE IT LOL!
