"Are you kidding?" He scoffed. "That was like, really painful. I don't know how you can handle that all day." He looked to her. "You're heckin strong."

She shrugged. "You get used to it, believe it or not. I've dealt with migraines for years now."

"Well, you shouldn't have to." While he knew that she could last it, he didn't want her to have to. "Look, if it helped take away the pain, I'm always here for you, alright?"

She cracked a small smile. "How sweet. But really, I'm fine." Just as long as I can keep the voices at bay considering I left my medication in my locker…

Jackson took her hands. "But I don't want you to be fine. I want you to be great, to be happy! No pain!" He intertwined their fingers. "I would do anything to make sure you're more than happy."

"Then just be here." She smiled softly. "Because you make me happy." That was super cheesy.

He smiled. "I do?" He had never really made anyone happy besides his sister. Even then, it didn't seem quite like that all the time.

"Of course you do! I wouldn't keep you around if you didn't." Her smile brightened. She loved his smile so much.

"Are you sure you're not lying?" He teased. Everything about her was amazing. He couldn't believe that for once, someone actually wanted him around.

"Absolutely sure." Everything about him made her smile, she couldn't help it if she always wanted him around to keep her mood up.

"If you say so…" A call came from upstairs. "Are you done yet?!" He chuckled, but didn't bother to respond.

She rolled her eyes with a smile. She didn't respond. If they didn't, maybe she wouldn't come down. "Of course I say so, I think it's true."

(Ooo…this is evil but it works…)
Then, something caught her attention. A black line on her wrist. At first, she didn't think much of it. She was an artist and she'd been drawing that morning, it was probably just pen. Well, that was until it started moving and spreading. And then it clicked. The darkness flowed like black ink, traveling through her veins up her arms and neck. She swore under her breath. "Not today, why today?" She pulled herself back, leaning against the counter. She just had to wait it out.

(Evil tends to be a good plot twist)
A confused look spread across his face. "Uh, everything okay?" It took a second for him to notice the shadows in her veins. "Whoa whoa whoa whoa. What's that?"

It travelled up her neck into her face and she squeezed her eyes shut. When she opened them again, they were pitch black. She hated this, she always hated this, but there was nothing she could do about it for now.

He backed up as a reflex amd immediately hated himself for it. "Uh, umm. Ivy?" His back hit the counter which stopped him. "Are you okay?"

"Just stay back." Her voice almost seemed to glitch, like it wasn't hers. "It'll pass, it always does." She dropped to the floor, her eyes squeezing shut again. She could almost feel the blackness pulsing in her skin.

He rushed forward and caught her in his arms. "Whoa whoa whoa!" He watched at her veins continued to darken. "What's going on?"

"Power withdrawal." The glitchiness had only increased. "Just give it a minute." She opened her eyes again, looking up at him. "Please don't be scared, I won't hurt you."

"I-" He couldn't lie and say he wasn't scared, but he trusted her. "Alright. I believe you. What do I do?" She seemed to be in so much pain and it hurt him to see her like this. "Really, anything. I'll do it."

Relax! You have to relax! "Just…stay still for a second." Before she could think this completely through, she pulled him down onto her lips, hoping it would relax her. And sure enough, it did and the darkness started to fade.

Jackson was surprised at first, but just went with it. He kissed her back a little, careful not to move too much. Whoa…
