Meant To Be ~ {Jack Skellington X Reader}

Chapter 5 ~ They Call It Love

Your POV

'i cant believe this!' you sob into Jack's bed. 'hypnotized?!'

You lift your head up. 'i should talk to Jack...'

Slowly, you pry yourself from the bed and head downstairs.

"Jack?"

Nothing. You see a note on the kitchen counter and go over to it.

Y/N,

I've gone to sort this out. Stay here. I shall see you shortly. Stay safe.

With love,
Jack

You feel your face heat up as you keep reading over 2 words.

With love

"He loves me...?" you whisper.

"I dont think so." someone says from behind you.

Before you can react, you are knocked out and on the ground.

The last thing you saw was a flash of red. [anyone get that? Hair? No? Ok.]

You are dragged out of the house by your feet and the person leaves the door open.

Jack's POV

"Im not hypnotized." i say sternly to the mayor.

"But you usually always listen when we talk about halloween!" the mayor whines. "Instead you talking to her!"

"And there was a good reason too!"

I shout at the mayor. The mayor crosses his arms and huffs.

"And what is that?"

"Shes so beautiful..."

"HYPNOTISM!" the mayor shouts and waddles over to his desk.

"ITS NOT HYPNOTISM!" i shout, shaking the office. People are gathered outside the mayor's building awaiting new news.

"What is it then Jack?" the mayor asks, a little shaken up.

I'm silent for a few moments.

The mayor taps his foot and waits for a response.

"They call it love."

I say and turn to leave. The mayor is speechless as i walk out the door.

"False alarm everyone!" i call to the people.

'i need to go see how Y/N is doing.'

I trudge through the town of curious people right back to my house to find the door open.

"Huh?"

I push open the door even more and notice nothing out of the ordinary.

"Y/N?"

I call through the house. No reply.

I go over to the counter where my note once was.

I find it on the floor with an extra note on it.

The word 'love' is crossed out in the letter and at the bottom it now also reads:

She'll be safe alright

"Oh no..."

I rush out of the house.

'oogie wouldnt do this... He wouldnt care about something like this... The mayor was with me...'
