Dear, Secreté

Chapter 2

Recap: 

"None of this would've happened if I would've stayed in Chicago" 

~*~

"Cashmere, Isabella, and Javontae, come in" The principal says.

We walk in and see Jaylen sitting down. He looks up at me and looks back down.

"So Jaylen is telling me that this is all his fault. Is this true?" He asked. We nod slowly.

"He stated that at the beginning of your lunch period he was bothering Isabella, and you asked him to leave you alone and he didn't. He then went on to slut shame Secrete and accuse her of having sexual intercourse with Cashmere. Then some words were exchanged and he hit Isabella and you all jumped in. Is this true?" He says. We nod again.

Jaylen told the truth but left out what Vontae did. Why?

"Jaylen will be suspended and required to attend anger management classes. You three will be suspended for the rest of the day but it won't be on your record" He says and pauses "Izzie Javontae, Jalil has been contacted and Cashmere your mother has been contacted, I explained the situation and you're not in trouble. You're excused, go wait in the main office" He says and we all walked out except Jaylen.

We walked into the main office and immediately see a pissed off Jalil, but he looked at me and his face softened. He reached for my jaw and gently ran his fingers over it, I winced and he immediately dropped his hand.

"Let's go" He says.

"I wanna stay with Cash" I say and run into Cash's arms, he immediately wraps them around me and kisses my forehead.

"but Izz-" 

"Just let her bro" Vontae interupts.

"We'll see you later Iz, i love you" Vontae says to me.

"i love you too" I say as they walk out.

I look up to Cash with tears in my eyes and he kisses me again.

"Let's go get you cleaned up" He says and walks me to the nurse.

I sit in the nurse and he  asks her for napkins and an ice pack and she gives him both.

He says thank you, and helps me clean the blood off my face. 

"I love you Izzie, I'll never let anyone hurt you again. I put that on my mother" He says as he hugs me tightly.

I nod, and we walk back into the main office to see Cash's mother. 

"Hey ma, can Izzie come over for a while?" He asks.

"Of course, hey Izzie baby" She says.

"Hey mama" I smile.

"You alright?" She asks and Cash buts in, "Not now ma."

She nods, "Well let's go then"

We walk out to her car. Cash told me to sit in the front, "No please, I wanna sit with you" 

"Okay baby" He says and sits with me in the back seat.

I lay my head on his chest as he hums the song that his mom is playing.

I genuinely don't know what's wrong with me right now. Well I do, but I'm not sure why I'm reacting like this.

I've been hit before and he knows it, that's why he treating me like a fragile piece of glass that could shatter at any moment.

I'm scared to leave his side currently because suddenly I think without him around something might happen again. 

He's the only person that genuinely makes me feel safe other than Vontae.
