Chapter 9
Jill's pov:
"Lying so useless, we start to holler Hey, get up you worthless Circus Monster!" I finish my song, Circus Monster, and I wait for Jack's reaction. I still can't believe he's here, next to me apologising. The Great Jack Ridens never apologise. I stare at him and I see he zoned out.
"Hey Jack" I said softly "I think it's time for you to go home now" He returns from Wonderland and says
"Your right. I must finish my homework and I need to talk to Mandy" He answer. I'm happy he finally realized how horrible Amanda is. I accompany him to the front door.
"Okay, Jack, see you tomorrow at school" I attempt to go back to the living room, but I'm pulled in a hug. I freeze in discomfort trying to struggle away, but he's far to stronger than me and I can't free myself.
"Relax freak, it's just a hug." He whispers to me. I relax a bit and I start to feel comfortable and protected in his arms. After a while he pulls away and salutes me:
"Goodnight, my little nightingale." I blush a little and look down. Nobody, parents excluded, ever hugged me like that. Maybe Jack isn't so bad as I thought. I stay in front of the door smiling like an idiot for a while, then I get back inside just in time before it starts to rain. I go upstairs and stare out of my window and thinking about Jack. He makes me feel better and I think I'm starting to like him. This is not good: Jack is popular and I'm only a freak. It'll end badly and I'll be broken hearted. I decided to interrupt my thoughts and to read some good horror stories on wattpad.
"Good" I say to myself choosing a story "this seems gory enough." I click on the Origins of Laughing Jack.
After a while I'm crying on my bed thinking about the abandoned monochromatic clown. I was looking for a distraction, not for a touching story. I'm too emotional. I sob a little bit more on my pillow and then I change myself into my nightgown.
"Jill! Come down please! Dinner's ready!"
"Yes mom"
While we are eating, my mom asks:
"Jill, it was you who finished all the candy?" I laugh
"No mom, a friend came over to help me with homework. I offer him some candy, but he likes sweets so much that he finished them"
"If you say so....."
After dinner I pack my things so that I'm ready for tomorrow. I then lay in bed and fell asleep, thinking about Jack.
