18. Said too much

Gemma's POV

Walking into the class I couldn't help but smile at my darling Ada her smile so wide and beaming. Proudly I wore my ring just as she wore hers. It was our little secret though it felt like people knew more than we'd have hoped. And due to the fact we engaged in some very saucy intercourse this morning it felt like the world was an oyster and we we're the pearls.

I calmed down about Anastasia she's not such a bad kid after all. Gazing around the room my life felt complete. Till I'd noticed something, Jack. He was being really off, I know I shouldn't pity him. I shouldn't even want to talk to him after the way he'd treated poor Ada and I. Carelessly I walked over and looked towards him from across his desk. It wasn't a hang over, or drugs, or illness. "Jack go into the store cupboard for a moment." He stepped up slowly and made his way to the little room in the back.

I felt coopers eyes praying on my back but she couldn't hear. "Jack what is it? I know you." I looked to him as his little eyes grew teary. "I can't say." He turned his face away from me glaring into the gap of darkness between the books. "You can, we can talk about things in here. You're safe with me." I felt more and more worried the more he seemed to close himself off from me. Cooper coughed loudly as I turned I could see her looking towards us with that resting bitch face.

Turning my attention back to Jack he looked towards Cooper who was now copying from the board. " I can't because he'd kill me or worse he'd kill her." My mind went into overdrive in thought about what it could be or what could happen. "Ive said too much." He rushed out past me and into the open where eyes we're on him and I could say nothing.

Walking back out I noted Cooper out of her seat speaking with Ada. "They weren't doing anything but talking." I heard Coopers voice whisper into Ada's small ears. "Love, what is it?" She said turning to me and placing a sly finger to brush my hand. "Well talk about it later." I couldn't disrupt her day and so we all got on with our lives for a little bit longer. I knew my curiosity would kill me though. I have to find out more.
