the next day I got dressed and then kinda hung around the house.
I was planning on getting the ring today.
so I texted Jack, I didn't really want to get the ring, but I didn't want to lose it.
me: hey.. I left a ring at your house. I was wondering if I could drop by and grab it real quick?
20 minutes, no answer.
I made myself some lunch, and flipped through the channels on tv.
"hey pretty girl." Cameron came walking downstairs.
I smiled with a mouthful of sandwich.
he sat next to me on the couch.
"what's that?" he asked referring to my food.
"turkey BLT," I answered and offered him some.
he grabbed it then took a bite.
he got up to make himself one.
I turned my attention towards the cooking channel and he sat next to me once again.
"we need to hang out, and go do something." Cameron suggested.
"I can today, but I have to go get my ring from jacks first. after would be good."
"I'll plan on it," Cameron smiled and I gave one back.
I finished my sandwich, and cleaned my plate.
it's been one hour, no answer from Jack.
I decided to just drop by real quick and grab the ring then leave.
I put on some comfy slip on shoes and grabbed my keys.
I just had on black leggings, with a white shirt and one of Shawn's flannels on, with my hair in a messy ponytail.
"I'll be right back," I told cam, then walked out the front door
I got into my red Mini Cooper and turned the key.
I plugged into my phone so I could listen to my music.
I put on Lana del Rey and drove off.
while I was out, I passed a Starbucks and got some. why not, I don't have to be anywhere.
I passed Nash's house, then my old one.
I turned the corner and parked In front of jacks.
his car was in the driveway, so he was home, and I know he was because there was a light coming from his window, I could still see it even in the daytime.
I locked my car and walked up the cobblestone walkway towards his door.
I rung the doorbell ad waited a minute.
then I knocked. the door pushed open with a creak. it wasn't locked, or even shut all the way. I pushed it open a little more.
"Jack?" I yelled looking up, walking slowly.
no answer.
he was probably not even here.
I'll just go up to his room and grab it, then leave, like I was never here.
I put one foot on the step then slowly made my way up.
when I reached the top his bedroom door was shut.
I fearlessly went up to it and put my hand on the knob,
but I'm such a wimp that I let go walked backward.
I don't know why I'm scared. I just don't like being in a house alone, it was kinda scary actually.
I took out my phone and called Nash.
he answered.
"hey, can you come to jacks? I'm scared, don't ask,"
"yeah I'll just walk," he agreed and hung up.
I let out a breath of air and tightened my fists. I lifted my shoulders and opened put my hand on his bedroom handle.
I turned the handle and pushed it open.
Jack was laying on his bed sleeping with his back facing the door.
I let out a breath of relief.
I quietly walked in and looked around for my ring.
i spotted it on his nightstand next to a soda can and a crumpled piece of paper.
I grabbed it then took another look at Jack.
then I noticed something..
he wasn't breathing. his back wasn't moving up and down.
I slid my ring on and got into his bed
I was shaking. my hands were trembling like crazy.
I flipped him over.
he had a cut on his forehead and it was pretty deep.
"oh my gosh" I breathed in.
his face was white and his lips were a pale color.
"Jack. wake up." I yelled sternly. tears came streaming down my face.
"Jack!" I screamed and tears dropped Onto his skin.
I cradled his head in my arms.
"Jack wake up!" I screamed and put my head to his chest.
no sound at all.
I dropped his body and opened his bathroom door.
empty pill bottles laid everywhere.
"no!" I screamed and cried.
I tugged on my hair and held my eyes shut.
"this is. not happening. this is not happening." I whispered and cried.
I ran out if the bathroom and held his now stiff body.
"Jack!" I yelled and cried into his shirt.
"ashlynn?" Nash's voice said from downstairs.
I ignored it and yelled again.
"this is all my fault! I am so sorry!"
"what happened!" Nash yelled running up the stairs.
"oh my gosh." he gasped.
"this is all my fault Nash!" I could badly make out the words I was crying so hard.
"i came I get my ring and saw him like this after I called you. Nash none if this would have happened if it wasn't for me." I bawled into jacks t-shirt.
Nash rubbed my back. he was crying too.
"it's not your fault."
I grabbed jacks phone and looked at the lock screen. a picture of me kissing him when he took me to watch the one direction movie in the back of his truck.
"yea. it is." I whispered and clicked the lock button.
"Jack is dead. and yes it is all my fault." I looked at his body and then tightly shut my eyes.
Nash had me sit on my lap and he rocked my side to side to calm me down.
"it's going to be okay. I promise." he repeated over and over again, stroking my hair and softly ran his fingernails up and down my back. he was choked up.
I cried softly in his arms.
