~Chapter 21~

Amy's POV~

I sniffled softly, just listening. Did he leave? I slowly lifted my head up and opened my eyes. I wish I hadn't. Jack was sitting in front of me. I screamed and quickly got up and I tried running again. "Amy! W-Wait, please!" Jack's voice sounded desperate and hurt. I didn't listen. I tripped on a rock and landed directly onto my back. I groaned, and saw Jack approaching me. I quickly started crawling away in fear, feeling my heart racing. I was terrified. I kept crawling away until I felt my back hit something hard. I turned to see I had hit a wall. I quickly looked back to see Jack a few feet away from me. I curled up, bringing my knees to my chest and quickly hid my face. I started crying again. I was too scared to look at him. After a few seconds, I heard something fall to the ground. It was Jack. I knew he had sat down in front of me. I didn't dare to look up. I just continued sobbing. It was silent, minus my sobbing, for a long time. But the silence was broken by a soft voice.

"......Amy......?"

It was Jack. I didn't look up, for I was too afraid. I realized I was shaking so much. I was really afraid.... "......Amy.......please......." He sounded hurt. I still didn't look up. but......that's when I felt two arms wrap around me.

Laughing Jack's POV~~

When I saw her run, she looked terrified. I gently followed her, until she was against one of the walls. She curled up, and hid her face in her knees. I could hear her crying softly. I slowly sat down in front of her. She wouldn't look up at me. That's when I realized.......

......she was scared........

..........of me.

"......Amy......?" I called her name softly, but she didn't respond. I could see her shaking slightly. ".......Amy......." I slowly moved closer, but she still wouldn't look at me. It hurt me. I could hear the pain in my voice. Was she......really that afraid of me? Did she think......I was going........to........to hurt her? Did she think I would hurt her........because of what happened two years ago........and.......did she think........I would hurt her........just like her father did.......? I didn't know what to do, so I did the only thing I could. I gently wrapped my arms around her and pulled her towards me. She was shaking so much....... "........Amy........" I muttered her name softly as I nuzzled her back gently. ".........Please........look at me........" She tensed up in my grip. It hurt me so much to see her like this. I wanted her to look at me. I wanted to see her face.

Amy's POV~

I opened one eye and was shocked to see Jack.......hugging me. "........Amy........" I heard his voice close to my ear, "........Please........look at me........" He sounded.......so hurt and sad........ I sighed and finally lifted my head up, still not directly looking up at Jack. "........Amy........?" He spoke my name softly, but I still didn't look at him. I......I.....couldn't. "........." I didn't say anything, but instead fresh tears slowly slid down my cheeks. "........Amy........" He gently cupped my face into his hands, and turned my face up so I was looking at him. His eyes.......they looked........hurt. "Please........" He murmured, sadness spreading across his face. "........Talk to me........" I sniffled, my body shaking still. I was too scared to talk. "........I'm not gonna hurt you........" He pulled me into his chest, nuzzling me. His words.......they were full........of hurt........ I couldn't take it anymore. I finally wrapped my arms around him without realizing, and cried into his shoulder. I heard him gasp lightly, but he quickly sighed and rubbed my back gently. "........J.........J.........J........ack........." I cried his name, tears flowing down my cheeks. I couldn't stop. "Shh........." He whispered softly, not letting go of me. "It's okay........" I couldn't stop crying, no matter how hard I tried. I couldn't stop the tears. After a few minutes, I slowly calmed down but still sniffled. Jack.....he never stopped hugging me. It was silent for a long time. "........Are you okay now?" He softly spoke, breaking the silence. I nodded slightly, sniffling. He gently cupped my face in his hands and brought my face up to his. "Amy........." He leaned his head against mine, his eyes locking with mine. ".........Why did you run?" I sighed, fresh tears forming in my eyes once again. "........I........" I finally spoke quietly, "........I.........I was.........afraid........" Jack gently lifted my face up a little, bringing me inches from his. "........Were........Were you........afraid........o-of me........?" He asked softly, his eyes glowing slightly. I said nothing, but instead I started trembling as tears fell down my cheeks once more. He reached a hand to my cheek and I flinched. "........Amy........" He pulled me back into his chest again, and nuzzled my head gently. "........I.......I.......I can't believe........you thought.......I......I would.......hurt you again......." I could hear his voice shaking, and I felt something wet on top of my head. He.......He was.......crying......? "I........I would........never........h-hurt you again........n-never." I could feel him trembling slightly. He never let me go, but slightly tightened his grip. ".......J-Jackie......." I whimpered his name, before I gently pressed my head against his chest. ".........I.........I-I'm........s-sorry........" I was crying again. "I........" I gasped, choking through sobs, "I........I w-was.......just........s-scared.......and.......I.......I was......scared.......of.......m-my.......f-father......." I felt him gently rub my back, and I could hear him sniffle softly. "Shh.......It's okay......." I heard him softly murmur, and he gently kissed my forehead. "You don't have to be scared of me Amy......." I sniffled softly, gently wrapping my arms around him once again. "I.......I love you.......J-Jack......." I said, still sniffling. He sighed, but lovingly kissed me. I melted into his touch. He separated from me, and gently nuzzled his head against mine. "........I love you too, Amy........" He smiled softly, and never let go of his embrace around me. We stayed silent for a while, and just hugged each other. He gently ran one hand through my hair, while his other hand was wrapped around me. I had my arms wrapped around him once again, sniffling slightly while pressed against his chest. ".......We should go back home Amy......." He spoke softly, still holding me close. "Your mom must be worried about you." I immediately stiffened up. Jack took notice right away. "I promise, I won't let your father hurt you. Okay?" I looked up before I nodded gently. My mom probably was worried about me since I had ran off without explaining anything to her. "........Hold on to me." He said gently, looking down at me. I looked right back at him, and my grip around his torso tightened. His arms slightly tightened, and I closed my eyes. When I opened them again, I saw we were back in my room. "I'm just gonna go talk to Carly for a little." Jack said, as he slowly got off my bed and started to walk away. "W-Wait......" I whimpered and as he turned around, I gripped his waist tightly. He was startled a little by my action. "A-Amy?" He stammered, as he looked at me. "W-What ar-" But he stopped when I spoke again. ".........C-Can you please stay tonight........?" I saw his eyes widen as he looked at me. "A-Amy........" He stuttered softly. "P-Please..........?" I sniffled, as I felt more tears start to form. "I.......I don't want to be alone........" I was crying again, but then I was pulled into Jack's chest and he nuzzled me gently. "J-Jackie.......?" "Of course I'll stay Amy." His words caught me completely by shock. "........Truth is.........I don't want to be alone either." I hid my face in his chest as I let my tears fall again. "Especially when you need me so much right now." It was silent for a long time, minus my occasional sniffling after I calmed down. Neither one of us spoke for a while. "I........" I sighed softly, "I should........go talk to my mom........" Jack smiled softly, before kissing my cheek. "I'll be right here, waiting. I promise. Okay?" I nodded lightly as I slowly got off my bed and made my way downstairs. Thankfully my father wasn't home so it was all clear. Once I had told my mom everything that happened after I ran out, and we hugged, I made my way back upstairs and went inside my bedroom. Once I had closed the door, I went over to my bed and sat beside Jack while wincing. "I-It hurts......" "Shh......" Jack gently cradled me. "How about we clean you up?" I nodded, and before I knew it, Jack picked me up and carried me into my bathroom. Once the water was turned on, he gently undressed me and himself before setting me into the bath and got in himself. He smiled, before picking up a washcloth and gently washed my body. I whimpered from the stings and tears started to form. "Shh....." Jack murmured, as he gently washed me. "I know it hurts love. Just hold on for me a little longer." After a few more gentle washes, Jack turned off the faucet, gently dried me and himself, and bandaged my wounds before carrying me back out to my bedroom. I looked through my drawers to see which pajamas I wanted to wear. I eventually picked out a nightgown that was one of my favorites, and quickly changed into them. Once I had changed, I slowly got under my covers and Jack followed. He slipped under the covers with me and wrapped his arms around my waist before pulling me gently against his chest. I wrapped my arms around his torso, tightening my grip a little.
