Jack shook her head, still laughing- everytime she thought she had gathered control her mout twitched like mad. She would reach up to straighten out the corners before snorting and bursting back into laughter. The problem was she KNEW that it was plausible. That Calvin definitely would have fainted had Chase kissed him.. It was hilarious.
Jack shook her head, chuckling still. Before she could stop herself, she said, "Man, oh man, Chase. I wish I had your problems." She stopped and stared forward, her breath caught. ""Uh... I mean, that's.. cute?" she coughed. What she did not want to go into was how all of Chase's problems- the ones that seemed to bother her most- were ones Jack could never take seriously or even begin to understand because they seemed to revolve around relationships. Jack had no experience. One kiss with Ari that had almost ruined everything. Pretending to be a steady couple to piss off her parents. Her worst 'relationship' problem had been Keith announcing she had a relationship, which had been a lie, and she had denounced it. But when Jack was used to problems like being unable to hate a murderer, nearly being killed by someone she would die to protect, having to be the villain of all her friends, being unable to protect those she wanted to, being attacked by werewolves.. Well.. Liking someone who fainted when you kissed them seemed like a nice break.
Not that she would handle that any better than she could Vito. She'd take murder to serious relationships. At least she sort of understood Vito.
Chase continued to rant and ramble and Jack had no idea what to say. She would never call her a slut, of course, but Jack had only even had one kiss. That whole sex thing.. it was an ambiguous concept to her. To get pregnant this young did not seem possible to Jack. She just did not understand honestly. All she knew was she adored the irony of Chase's full name.
"Chase, you're not a bad person," Jack said. "The only things I could ever say is that you can be naive and misguided. But you're not a bad person, you've had bad things happen to you. As far as i can tell, Chase, the real problem is you have so many people that want to protect you, but then you try and be strong for them and protect yourself.. and it ends up hurting everyone. If people are willing to protect you, let them."
