Jack stared at Sally's concerned face, "what?" he asked her.
"I saw Dr Finklstein today, Jack. He told me that they are going to get Jackie." she answered.
"Where could he have possibly heard it from?" Jack asked.
"From them, they threatened him and they talked about this."
"I'm keeping an eye on Lock, Sally. He's not going to get any where near her. And 'they' better watch out." Jack said getting out of the car. Sally sat in there alone, worried. Was she really going to let this happen? She's going to have to, isn't she?
Moogie carried Jackie all the way, Jackie sometimes woke up and passed out. She was a mess. Moogie thought of his dad, how Moogie has once again had a clash with him, how Oogie never respected Moogie's descisions. And he'd have to go back to it.
Moogie got to the Skellington household and put Jackie down while he knocked on the door. Sally answered it, a huge smile spread across her face, she looked relieved.
"Moogie, thank goodness you've got Jackie. We were worried." she sadi helping Jackie up.
"Yeah, she needs some rest and care. She should be OK though." Moogie said. Moogie gave Jackie a kiss and walked home.
Sally helped Jackie to the living room and sat her down. Jack came downstairs and his eyes immediatley slapped to Jackie, he rushed over and gave her a hug. Jackie looked up at him, her eyes looked hollow, no life in them at all, "you left me," she whispered "you never came back".
That night, Jack and Sally helped her upstairs to her room, she had a shower before she went to bed. She woke up the next morning refreshed and happy, she turned over to see Lock's face next to hers. "What the hell are you doing here?!" she shouted, falling off the bed.
"Well good morning to you too." he said smirking.
"How did you get in here?" Jackie asked.
"I had to stay here, your dad took me to hospital." he said.
"your lying," Jackie said quickly.
"How else could have I got in?" Lock said narrowing his eyes, his hair falling over his eyes. Jackie got up and went to the door. Lock stood in front of it.
"Move" she said.
"Why would I do that?" he said, slowly getting closer to her.
Jackie was stronger this time, at least she thought. She tried pushing him out of the way, but that only made him grip on her tighter. Lock pushed her to the ground, he sat in front of her. "Your wrong for him," he suddenly said "Moogie doesn't love you."
Moogie got home and went to his room. He sat on his bed, just like he does every day. He heard someone coming up the stairs, he knew it was Oogie, he lay down on his bed, ready for the next arguement. Oogie gently opened the door, "Moogie?"
"In here."
"Im so sorry," Oogie said. Moogie sat straight up, staring at Oogie
"What did you say?" Moogie asked.
"About Jackie."
"What about her?"
"She's dead.." he answered. Moogie sat still.
Lock told Jackie what Moogie had supposedly had said. "he didn't say that," Jackie would say, but Lock always had a way of convinsing her.
"Have you every thought why Moogie has never said he loves you?" Lock asked her "it's because he doesn't." Jackie's heart at that point broke in half.
"Come with me Jackie," he said picking up Jackie's head gently "come away with me, somewhere where we wont be desberbed, where we can be happy." he said.
"Im not happy with you." she said.
"what about after this," his head came closer, as soon as his lips nearly touched hers, she slapped him. She got up and ran for the door, she whacked her leg against her draw and cut her leg, leaving drops of blood on the floor. She ran out of the front door, Lock closely behind her. Jack and Sally would have gotten up, if Lock hadn't had put sleeping tablets in their tea.
"What?" Moogie asked.
"Jackie was announced dead this morning, I'm so sorry." Oogie said sitting down next to Moogie. "apparently Lock had whacked her across the head with something, it caused damage to her head and she died in her sleep." he explained. "a complete accident.". Of course, this is Oogie explaining this, and he's the master of lying.
