siena's pov

i was sitting on my bed, tapping my pen against my cheek as i had a bunch of homework spread out around me.

my current focus was on algebra and solving all of these equations that looked almost impossible, whilst regretting taking it as an ap class.

although, i soon got distracted when i heard sounds of a small object being thrown against my window. i shook my head and took no notice of it, until it carried on and began getting on my nerves.

i quickly rose from my bed, marching over to the window and lifted it up so it opened. my eyes instantly diverted down to where i saw jack standing at the bottom and looking up at me.

"try not to break a fucking window, romeo" i loudly whispered. "what are you still doing here?".

"what are you doing right now?" he called out in the same level of whisper as me.

"algebra, european history, the cello...".

he dropped his shoulders, "hang out with me, i'm bored".

i lightly laughed at how cute he was and blushed at how he came to me to relieve his boredom.

"did you not hear the amount of homework that i have?" i questioned him.

"well then, can i at least come in?" jack suggested.

i raised my brow, "you want to watch me struggle to simplify quadratics?".

"it's a dream of mine" he opened his arms up.

i smiled whilst shaking my head, "fine, come up then" i said, opening the window as far as i can so he could get in.

there's no way that my parents would let jack up here if he used the front door, so sneaking in was the only way.

once jack reached the top, he stepped through the window with a loud thud and i immediately shushed him.

"my parents are just downstairs and isabella's next door!" i quietly informed him.

jack ignored my words and shut the window behind him. he took off his leather jacket, whilst his eyes panned around my room - the posters, the vanity, the walk-in wardrobe, the white and black themed walls.

"so this is your room?" he said as i sat down on my bed. "i always pictured it differently".

i narrowed my brows with a smile on the corner of my lips, "you picture my bedroom?".

he carelessly shrugged, "always, and i just add my own touch of me and you in your bed" jack teased and i chuckled, looking back down at my books.

"you're an idiot" i told him, before he dropped himself on my bed beside me.

numerous minutes past and it consisted of me being focused on my homework and jack sitting back against my headboard, watching me struggle from behind.

he suddenly sighed a loud, "siena, talk to me".

"can't, i'm writing the last paragraph to my essay" i said without looking up from my laptop.

"forget the essay" he groaned.

"says the guy who has already graduated".

"dropped out, remember?" jack corrected me.

"well then you haven't experienced the terror of senior ap classes" i replied, leaving the conversation there.

jack sat silent for a while and i didn't take any notice of it whilst i typed on my laptop, but that was until he moved closer towards me.

"so tell me about these ap classes then?" he asked.

"well i'm currently doing an essay for european history on the british monarch during—" i paused as jack came even closer, moving my long hair off my shoulder and breathing down my neck.

"d-during the, uh...eighteen hund—" i aimed to continue as jack hummed and placed a kiss on my neck.

i bit down on my lip as the kisses didn't stop, and small moans happened to escape my lips. jack smirked at my reaction and continued, until i shut my laptop and turned my head to attach my lips to his.

our lips stayed connected as jack moved back against the headboard and grabbed onto my thigh to pull me onto his lap.

my arms locked behind his neck whilst his plump lips forcefully moved in sync with mine. i pulled my body in closer, sliding my tongue across his bottom lip, so it eventually danced with his.

i finally pulled away from the kiss and rested my forehead onto jack's, trying our best to regain our breathes.

with my arms still around his neck, i dropped my bottom lip, "you distracted me from my essay" i said and jack just chuckled, before giving me another small kiss.

silence fell upon us and i was now still seated on jack's lap, playing and intertwining with his large hands.

"this is weird" i suddenly spoke.

his eyebrows immediately knitted together, "what's weird?".

"this, us. we just kissed for the third time and now i'm sitting on your lap, playing with your hands" i pointed out. "a few weeks ago, i hated you".

"you hated me?" jack narrowed his eyes, then shook his head. "i don't believe that".

i rolled my eyes, "okay fine, i just found you annoying and cocky, and you still are both those things—".

"but now you can tolerate it" he added for me and i giggled.

"exactly".

a mere silence filled the air again, and jack let out a deep breath before taking hold of my hands, "you know, after i dropped you home from that party, i drove down to the beach".

"why?" i wondered.

"just to think - it was the first time i went at night actually" he replied.

i looked into his eyes, hoping to get something more out of him today, "what did you think about?".

"everything," jack began. "mostly stuff i regret".

i subtly sighed at how he didn't continue. i don't know, sometimes i feel like he's afraid to tell me something ever since that day at the basketball court.

but i can't force him to tell me - i'm just hoping that he will when he's ready.

"well, when i get stuck in my head and start thinking, it's usually after my dad yells at me" i said.

"how comes?" jack focused his attention on me.

"he's always telling me to do this, do that, be this, be that. him and my mom have practically got my whole life planned out for me - my college, my major, my husband and i'm pretty sure they even have my future kid's name listed down somewhere".

i took a small pause before continuing as jack waited patiently for me.

"but it's completely unfair. isabelle is allowed to be carefree and do as she pleases, but me? i think since i could talk, it's been like this".

"have you tried talki—".

"no, i've tried that" i interrupted. "god, i've tried that for as long as i can remember. but unless it's about school or my future, they don't want to hear it" .

i tried my best to break out a smile to avoid from becoming too emotional around jack, but he rubbed his hand against my thigh gently.

"hey, it's okay" he whispered, but i shook my head to disagree.

"it just frustrates me, because i have a whole other plan set out and i'm not even going to be able to live by it".

he rubbed my thigh again, "babe, you should just do it any ways".

i scoffed at his response, "that's easy for you to say when you're not in my position" i slightly snapped. "...sorry, i'm just dumping all of this on you".

"no, no, it's fine" he assured me, tucking my hair behind my ear.

"i don't know, i just wish that i could just go away and never come back...actually even if it's for a few weeks, it would still be nice to have that weight lifted off me for a while" i explained.

jack nodded his head, "yeah, me too" he agreed. "...but-but why don't we?".

"huh?".

"go away" he elaborated.

i slightly retracted my head at the far-fetched idea, "yeah, right. there's no way i could just disappear like that" i muttered.

after my words, i started to climb off jack's lap but he gripped onto my arm and pulled me back, so that i was wrapped into his arms.

"jack, what are you doing?" i muffled into his chest that distinctly smelled of cologne. "i still have homework to do".

he groaned, "five more minutes".

i exhaled, deciding to give in and laid with my head against his chest.

jack's arms snaked around me more as he smoothed my hair down, "things will be different one day, siena".

i nervously bit my lip, "i hope so" i said, hugging him tighter.

jack's five minutes soon turned into forty-five minutes. i was beginning to drift into sleep in his arms until he gently patted my back.

"it's ten thirty, i should get going baby".

i shook my head, "no, five more minutes".

"i said that nearly an hour ago" he snickered, kissing the top of my head. "plus, your parents might walk in".

"i don't care".

he lifted his head and raised his brow, "seriously?".

i nodded and pushed him back down, "let them see".

"you have school tomorrow and you have homework to finish that i distracted you from".

he was right.

i sighed and finally sat up, pulling out of his hold, "way to kill the mood, jack" i said and he just chuckled and stood up from my bed.

when jack climbed back out of my window, he stood on the ledge and cupped my face with one hand.

"i'll see you" he said stroking my cheek and i smiled, nodding my head, before he began going down the drain pipe.

i shut the window and decided to go downstairs to get a quick drink, before finishing off my essay.

the lights were all out, so i assumed that everyone was in bed. but when i reached the bottom, i was instantly startled by my little sister's figure.

"shi—issy, why are still awake?" i whispered, clutching onto my chest.

she showed me her glass, "i came for some milk".

"well, you should be in bed, mom and dad might hear" i told and switched on the light in the kitchen as i entered.

"what is that on your neck?" isabelle said whilst i ran the tap over a glass.

i stared at her in confusion as i sipped my drink, then checked my neck in the mirror by the kitchen. my eyes instantly fell onto the red hickey that jack must have left, so i quickly began rubbing it.

"i-i fell over" i lied.

"how do you fall on your neck?" she questioned.

"i don't know, i was cartwheeling. issy, just go to bed now" i rushed, lightly pushing her towards the staircase so she'd go straight upstairs.
