The Visitor - Chapter 4

Short Summary: Jack finds Sally sleeping outside his house, so he invites her inside.

Pairings: Jack/ Sally

Chapter Four

Back to the Tower

Sally awoke the next morning to the sound of the skeletal rooster crowing nearby. She yawned, reaching up to rub her eyes which were struggling to adjust to the golden sunlight that was pouring in through the window across the room. For a second, she had forgotten where she was, finding it strange that her blanket was so unusually warm. But it all came back to her rather quickly. She sat up against her pillow slightly, yawning one more time as she attempted to wake up the rest of the way.

‘Oh, that's right..’ she remembered, thinking to herself, ‘I’m still at Jack’s place…Jack...’ She smiled even just at his name. Her face tinted slightly pink as she recalled more of last evening- bumping into him in the kitchen, having a talk with him about the Doctor, getting him to agree to speak with him, flattering each other with kind words, and then..

‘He kissed me…’

Sally brought a hand up to the side of her face.

‘Jack Skellington- the one man I’ve been dearly in love with for so long- he really kissed me..! That had to be real, right? It wasn’t some dream..? No...he did. He really did..’

She remembered it vividly.

Surely, this had to mean something, right? Could it really be possible that..Jack was in love with her as well?

Her smile widened as a new feeling washed over her. Hope.

Maybe she would be able to prove the doctor wrong after so many nights thinking he was right. Maybe she in fact wasn’t crazy for having such feelings for the skeleton. And who knows? Maybe they could end up together after all.

The ragdoll giggled, standing up off the couch and unwrinkling her dress. She had a feeling today was going to be a good day. Slipping her shoes back on, Sally walked over towards the door. She couldn’t wait to talk to Jack.

‘I wonder what he might say to me today… he will bring up the kiss right? Surely, he must..’ Her mind swirled as she walked down the hallway, her face continuing to blush.

‘I wonder if he’s awake yet…’ she thought, but a scent reaching her nose from the kitchen caught her attention and answered her question pretty quickly. He must be making breakfast.

Sally found herself hesitating at the kitchen entrance. She had already told herself that Jack kissing her last night surely meant… something. But, a part of her still felt nervous to see him again. It made her feel shy. What if she was somehow wrong? Maybe she was thinking too far into it and it really didn't mean anything? She didn’t want to assume… but oh, how could it not? This was a KISS for crying out loud! And not even on the hand or cheek. No. He kissed her lips. Yet there was still a little voice in the back of her mind telling her that she shouldn’t jump to conclusions about his feelings.

The ragdoll shook her head to clear it. ‘Come on Sally, it’s alright…’ she thought, ‘Just go in and talk to him. That will definitely give me some answers..’ She sighed one last time before taking a breath and pushing the door open, peering into the kitchen.

Jack was standing over to the side in front of the stove with his back to her, humming. Sally couldn’t see what he was making from where she was standing, but whatever it was smelled really good. She also took notice of what he was wearing, his regular suit pants and white shirt, but he didn’t have his tie or Jacket on. From that she could almost see an outline of his spine, and he had his sleeves rolled up a little bit past his wrists. To Sally, this was just another friendly reminder of how attractive he was. She tried not to stare as she approached him slowly, unsure how exactly she should greet him but doing so anyway.

“Um… good morning, Jack” she called.

The skeleton was obviously startled by the sudden voice as she noticed his shoulders jolt a little, and he blinked as he turned around to face her. He looked a little bit caught off guard but tried to smile anyway. Strangely, he also wasn’t making eye contact.

“Oh, good morning, Sally..” He nodded once at her before turning around to face the stove again. “...did you...sleep well..?”

She played shyly with her hands. “Yes, I did… thank you”

“Of course, and I’m glad to hear that. I know my couch… probably wasn’t the most comfortable place to sleep.”

“Oh, no, It was alright. I still very much appreciate you...letting me stay here and all. Thank you again, for that..”

“Anytime.” Jack glanced down at the food he was making before asking, “Ah, by the way, I’m almost done with this. Would you like some?”

Only then did Sally notice how hungry she was. It had been awhile since she had a good meal, but then again, she didn’t want to be a bother.

“Oh.. what is it?”

“A recipe I picked up from the Wolfman, actually. It’s supposed to be a nice breakfast food. Thought I’d give it a try.”

“It smells horribly delicious..”

“Yes, a bunch of different ingredients... though I don’t remember what he said it was called. You’re more than welcome to have some.”

“..Are you sure?”

“Of course. I made plenty.”

“Well… alright then. Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. Oh, and, you may have a seat, if you’d prefer. My table is right over there.” Still not turning around, he motioned with his elbow to the other side of the room. Sally looked and sure enough, there was a small, round, wooden table off to the side with a few chairs around it, one of them pulled out slightly. She assumed that was probably the chair he usually sat in. She nodded and walked up to it, sitting down in the next seat over and folding her hands in her lap.

She watched him finish up what he was cooking and begin preparing two plates of food , one for each of them. Sally picked nervously at her nails. Even she could tell there was a bit of awkward tension between the two of them- obviously due to that kiss.

‘Why hasn’t he mentioned.. anything .. about it yet?’ This worried her a little bit. She’d expected for it to be one of the first things he brought up but so far… nothing. It made her feel anxious. ‘It’s a little early…’ she told herself, ‘maybe he’ll… speak about it while we’re eating…’

She sat up straight as Jack brought the plates over and set one down in front of her. She thanked him again, and he nodded as he placed down his own and sat next to her to begin eating. Sally picked up her fork, scooped some of the strange food onto it and took a bite. It was really good.

They both continued eating in silence. The ragdoll kept looking over at him, waiting to see if he was going to say something, but he just stared down at his plate and chewed his meal quietly. Every so often he would look up from his food and catch her staring, and Sally would quickly look away embarrassed. It all felt very awkward. Especially since Sally knew he was thinking about it. He had to be… this was kind of a big deal. Besides, why else would Jack be acting this way? He had been acting strange towards her this whole time, and not once looked her in the eye. Could it be that he’s… embarrassed about this? Was that why he wasn’t bringing it up?

Sally put her fork down as she finished, feeling heat on her face. Suddenly she wasn’t as confident about this as she had been when she first got up. Well… if he wasn’t going to mention it, neither was she. She was too shy, and wasn’t sure where she’d even start. But if they weren’t going to talk about it, then what now? Were they just going to act like it never happened?

This made her sad. No.. they can’t do that! This wasn’t something that could be ignored. He was her best friend… her crush… and he literally kissed her. But for what reason? Was he in love with her? Because if that was the case... Sally needed to know. She wanted answers terribly.

Turning towards him, she opened her mouth to speak but found no words wanting to come out. So she just closed her mouth and went back to staring at the table while Jack finished up.

The silence here really wasn’t helping anything.

——

“If you’ll just excuse me for one moment, I’ll go grab my jacket then we can be off.” Jack spoke. Sally nodded to him, standing by the door and waiting patiently while he slipped into the other room. After they had finished eating, Jack cleaned the dishes and asked her if she still wanted him to take her back home so that he could speak with Finkelstein- which she very much did. She was glad about this, because at least it meant he wasn’t upset with her or anything. Not that he had a reason to be.

After a second the skeleton reappeared through the doorway now wearing his suit jacket and tie. He walked over to her and opened the front door. It was a little breezy, but the sunlight felt good.

“...After you” he motioned towards the outside with his free hand. Sally did as instructed and walked out the door, thanking him quietly as she passed. Jack shut the door behind them and followed her down the staircase as they began their way to the tower.

The walk there was just as awkward as breakfast. Not a single word was spoken the whole way , except for the few people Jack greeted on their way through town. But towards Sally? Nothing. It didn’t help that pretty much everyone who was out today was staring at them. The poor ragdoll’s stomach churned with uneasiness. She didn’t like the attention.

As nervous as she was when they finally arrived at the tower, she was also a bit relieved. They were going to speak with the doctor now… meaning Jack was at least going to talk. That would get rid of some of this weird tension right? She hoped so anyways.

The king stepped forward and rang the doorbell. As usual, it let out an ear splitting scream. A second passed before they heard a call from inside the building.

“Come in! The door is open!” , Finkelstein yelled. Jack walked forward and opened the door, holding it for his lady friend. Hesitantly, she walked inside, and he followed right behind her.

The doctor was wheeling himself down the ramp as they entered, coming to see who his visitors were and what they wanted.

His face went sour when he saw who it was.

“Sally…” he hissed. “..You’ve decided to come crawling back, hm?”

She looked down at the ground. “Well...I-”

“-You’re in a lot of trouble now, do you realize that?” he growled, cutting her off. “All I’m doing is looking out for you, Sally. I know what's best. And this is how you repay me? By being disobedient!?” Sally winced as he continued scolding her, embarrassed that Jack was listening to all this. “-Not only did you lie to me and sneak away without asking, but you also left at night! Where have you even been? Where did you sleep!? You can’t keep doing this, you blasted girl! I’m trying m-”

“-that will be quite enough, Doctor.” Now it was Jack’s turn to cut him off. The doctor blinked in shock, turning his attention towards the skeleton.

“-Oh, Jack I.. hardly noticed you there. What are you…” he paused. “Were you.... bringing her back?”

“Yes, I was”

“Then where was she-”

“With me, sir”

The doctor paused again. His expression grew angry very quickly.

“With… you!?” he looked back at Sally. “Is this true!?” She still had her head hung down and kept it there as she answered.

“Y...yes..”

“Why!? Sally, you can’t just-”

“I invited her in, doctor.” Jack interrupted sternly again. “I found her outside, and she was… too tired to make the walk back here. So I let her rest on my sofa for the night, and now I’m bringing her back.”

“I see…” Finkelstein glared at his creation. “You really didn’t need to do that, my boy. I’m sure she could’ve made it back. It isn’t that far. Besides, you don’t need to be wasting your valuable time on her.”

Jack tilted his head. “I’d hardly call it a waste of time. And it was very late. I just thought it would be better. Though I figured you wouldn’t be too happy about Sally being gone this long- that’s why I’m here.”

“What do you mean?”

“I don’t think you should punish her, in whatever way… it isn’t necessary.” The skeleton told him, but the doctor didn’t seem to agree.

“She disobeyed me! Of course it’s nec-”

“There’s no need to make a bigger deal out of this than it is, doctor. Yes, she left.. but now she’s back, and she won’t do it again- run away in the middle of the night, I mean. Right, Sally?”

She looked up from the ground. Both of them were staring at her. “...Right. Of course not. I’m sorry, doctor…”

Finkelstein winced. Although he didn’t believe her, this was the first time Sally had ever apologized for her actions. He almost felt a little bad for yelling at her so much. Almost…

“Fine, whatever.” , he grumbled. “Sally, I won’t ground you then. Just.. don’t do that ever again. This rebellious behavior needs to stop. You understand?” She nodded. “Good.”

Jack spoke up again. “Alright, well, I’m glad this was cleared up. I should be going now.” Fink dipped his head.

“Yes, you should. And.. thank you. For bringing her back.”

“Not a problem.” he turned to Sally. “Um… I suppose I’ll.. see you around then?”

She blushed. “Yeah… see you..”

He nodded once to the both of them before turning without another word and leaving. The door swiftly closed behind him.

Sally took a deep breath and looked up at Finkelstein. He still looked a bit mad.

“I hope you know, Sally, just because Jack felt bad and invited you over once doesn’t mean you can go see him whenever you like. In fact, I don’t want you over at his house ever again. Is that clear?”

Saddened, she nodded. “Yes..”

“Good. Now, go up to your room. I’m done with you for now.”

“What?” she picked at her nailpolish. “But.. I thought you said I wasn’t grounded..!”

“You’re not. But I gave you those books last night for a reason. And since you didn’t want to read them then, you’re going to have to now. Head on up to your room and study. Don’t fight me on this.”

She sighed. “Yes, doctor...” And took off past him up the ramp without another word.

The ragdoll sat down on her bed, not feeling nearly as happy or excited as before. Now Jack was gone… but he never said anything about the kiss. No confession. No nothing. In fact, he had hardly spoken to her at all, and when he did, he didn’t seem like himself. Did he really want to ignore this? But… things would be weird if they did.

‘Oh… what am I going to do…’

Sally leaned over and picked up one of her books off the ground. Not knowing what else to do in this moment, she just decided to do as she was told for once. And worry about Jack later.
