She's New, and She's A Badass

title of your story

Andys POV

I can't believe he followed me! Can't fricken believe it. I could have gotten out of there without any cop seeing me if Jake wasn't there. But I wasn't about to leave Jake there alone. He couldn't last two hours in a jail cell. Unlike me. There was one time I purposefully got in jail cause I didn't want to go back to my foster parents house, and I knew they wouldn't pay for bail. In some cases yeah, I would take a nice un-furnished jail cell than a shitty house.

We ran and ran until I could hear Jakes uneven breathing behind me. I slowed down to a stop and crossed my arms over my chest, "What the hell were you thinking?" I yelled at him, "Why did you follow me, and most importantly how did you know to follow me?" I questioned him.

"Jen called me. She woke up when you started your motercycle and when she went downstairs to see if it was gone, she called me and told me to make sure you didn't get yourself killed. Oh yeah, what the hell were YOU thinking when you chose to fight Jim Harper? He is the best street fighter in the united states."

I smirked, "Not anymore. He just got his ass handed to him my a sixteen year old girl. I guess all that training pays off, doesn't it?"

"Andy, this isn't a time to fool around. We just got chased by cops. You just beat the best street fighter in the US with pretty much no effort at all, and that probably didn't please him very much. So you have cops and someone who's probable out to get revenge on you, all after us."

"Oh please, the cops gave up ten blocks down. Once they loose someone they don't even recognize they give up. And youre probably right about Jim, which means I will be carefull, and wait a second did you say 'us'? They are after, 'us'? They are after me. Jim is after me, not you."

"Andy, I would do anything in my power to keep you safe, even though it would probably be in vain, I would do anything for you. So yeah I said us." Jake said. That touched me so much, but it was me that Jim would come after, and he wouldn't hesitate to kill whoever got in his way.

I shook my head, "No. I appreitaate what you're saying and I have no doubt that you mean it, but Jim is after me, not you. I wouldn't have you die because of me." he started to say something but I cut him off, "No. It's not up for decussion. Let's go so I can get another speach. And don't. Don't you dare tell them about Jim. I swear I will never talk to you again if you do, and I always keep my promises no matter how much it hurts me to. Understood?" Jake just nodded his head and mumbled and 'I promise' and we were off.

We drove home in Jakes car. I decided that I would go and get my wheels tomorrow while I was supposed to be in school. He pulled up and gave me a kiss on my lips before we headed inside.

I walked in and was imediatly engolfed in a hug by Jen and Bob. "Dont scare us like that again Andres Julious!" Jen scolded me in a loving way.

When she pulled away she saw the bruises right away, "Oh my god! Andy what happend to you?" she demanded to know. "Its nothing Jen. I'm fine, it just a bruise. It's not like my arm is falling off."

Her eyes went down to my arms and she saw the hand shaped bruises all up and down my arm. She took my arm in her hands and my face scrunched up for a second at the imediate pain, but it went away as soon as it came.

"Andrea who did this to you?" Bob asked in a fathery tone. "This is what you get when you fight guys. This isn't anything new to me. Sometimes I get worse, so please stop worrying. I am totally fine." I reasured them all.

Jen looked up Bob and then back at me defeated, "Okay Andy. I'm not going to stop you from doing what you love to do, but please be careful. I couldn't loose you. You are the closest thing to a daughter that we have. Even though we don't like this one bit, we aren't going to forbid it or send you away. We have grown quite fond of you. You are a wonderful young lady, and we love you. Why don't you go to bed sweetheart?" Jen said. They.... They love me?

I smiled at them and gave them both a hug and then turned to Jake and gave him a kiss on the lips and walked upstairs without another word.

I was just about to shut my door when I heard Jake, "Are you serious? You're just going to let her go to these fights when there's a chance of her getting hurt?" oh he's getting close, and if he crosses that line, he will have a hidden grave.

"Its something she loves to do Jake, and she doesn't seem to worried about it. I mean we are very aware that it's dangerous, but she has been raised in the streets and she seems to know what she's doing. We understand that you care emensly for and for her well being, and we do too, but sometimes we have to let people learn the hard way." Jen explained. Yeah, that's right! You tell him Jen!

There was silence on Jakes part and then Bob spoke, "Jake, it's okay to worry about her. We know you care for her, but she's that type of girl if you tell her not to do something she's just going to keep doing it because you said not to. And she likes to learn from her mistakes. From what we've seen she doesn't like taking advice from other people experiences. Just let her be Jake and see how this whole thing plays out. Okay."

"I know what you're saying, but If she gets hurt or in trouble, I will never forgive myself for not being there for her. But I'll do what you guys want anyway." Jake huffed. "I got to go. My parents don't know I'm not home. Bye" Jake sounded very disgruntled as he said this.

I walked into my bedroom and shut the door behind me. After colapsing on my bed and I shortly fell asleep.
