Eyeless Jack x Reader: Part 2

Your POV

  I wake up to hear more fighting downstairs. I sigh and shove my head back into my pillow until I realize that today is a school day. I sit up, going to look at the alarm clock. Oh good. It says 6:40, five minutes before my time to get up. I smile out of pure relief. I get out of bed and decide to get ready. Little do I know, someone is watching me.

Jack's POV

  Yes, definitely the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I watch her sigh, before bolting back up. As she got ready, I climbed down to the bottom. I could see her parents in the kitchen fighting about something. I then watch her enter the room and can't help but to frown slightly. She suddenly looked almost.. Sad, as she walked into the kitchen. She didn't even grab anything to eat, nor did she try to speak to her parents.

  "Oh, good, you're up [Name]," her mother says. So.. [Name] huh?

  "I know that you wanted to hang out with your friends tonight, but you have to stay home. We're going to be gone for awhile, and we want you at home when we get back."

  [Name] looked at her parents in disbelief, before they shot her a warning look. The air suddenly felt a bit thicker. She straightened out before nodding a bit, and heading out. Her parents only stopped to watch her close the door. They resumed fighting soon afterwards, which was beginning to annoy me.

  I had to find out something about her, even if it's just the school she goes to. Yes, that will work nicely. I disappeared from the window, moving to follow [Name]. It would be easier to get the answers where she has friends that know about her, and I can observe her more. Ah, [Name].

  There's that strange feeling in my chest again. Jeff said that it was probably love, and then BEN decided to make jokes about me falling in love. I don't think they took me too seriously.

Your POV

  As I walked to school, I couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching me. I had my music in to play [Song], and I kept turning my head. Every time I looked there was nothing. This suddenly made me suspicious. I shrugged it off as nothing, and continued to walk to school.

  I got to my locker, and I saw the group of popular people. They were intimidating someone who was half their size! I narrowed my eyes and put my backpack up on my shoulder again. It seemed like every time I came into school, those same people were always beating up on someone.

  I called to them as I walked up. They turned to me with a mischievous look on their faces. They towered over me with mock confusion in their eyes. A small surge of courage suddenly filled my body, and I stood up to my full height.

  "What do you want, tubby?" one asked. The others snickered.

  "Well I want you to stop beating up on that kid." I said back. The boy slipped out of their watch, and soon one of them was whispering into the leader's ear. He growled and glared at me. Suddenly all of the previous courage left my body, leaving me frozen. I couldn't move. I couldn't even speak.

------Time skip, because I don't want to write a fight scene------

  Yeah, well... Let's just say that I wasn't the person to win. In fact, I was probably just about as far from winning as I could get. Not that I was physically weak or anything, I just happened to not have the courage when I needed it.

  I sighed, looking down at my arms. More bruises, great. I sat there as the nurse patched me up, before heading back to my locker. When I opened it, I knew it was past classing period. I was late for my first class- not that anyone would notice. Nobody noticed when I was gone, except for Bobbi.

  I saw something.. A note. I picked it up and flipped it over a few times. There was no name or anything, but it was addressed to me. I opened the letter to read it, and I covered my mouth. This was one of those secret admirer notes that those girls in the movies got! And now look, I had one too! I smiled, and read the last line.

  Don't worry, [Name]. I will protect you.

  I couldn't help but to grin at the letter, and put it into my bag. I was definitely going to keep this. Soon I ran to class, giggling happily at the thought of the note.

Jack's POV

  She looked so confused when she opened the locker and looked at the note. But I noticed when she covered her mouth, looking like she was going to cry out of happiness right then and there. I sighed happily, watching her smile grow as she read every line. And then I watched her run off to class, and I felt so joyful.

  Maybe tonight I should visit her again. I tried to think of it. After all, her parents would not be at the house. They were probably out doing something completely stupid.

  And then I realized that I couldn't stand [Name]'s parents. I could tell that they weren't all that much of an actual family, with her parents fighting so much. Oh, my sweet [Name], I thought. I promise to protect you.
