Behind Closed Doors

Behind Closed Doors (5)

I woke up in Jacob's arms and I instantly remembered last night. I shuddered at the thought, but I quickly dismissed it and thought of something else like... What time it was.... Wait. What time is it? I checked my clock- 5:40 - it's way to early, why am I even up? I turned over and cuddled back into Jacobs body, I needed more sleep.

"Missy!" Jacob whispered and I slowly opened my eyes.

"What?" I said croakly.

"Hey, umm well it's almost 9 so I thought I'd head back to my house." I nodded and he climbed out of my bed. I watched him as he put his shirt back on and climbed out of my window, but before he left he walked over to my bed and kissed me on my forehead.

"I'm sorry about Devin" he whispered before finally climbing out of the window. How did he know what happened? Before I could think of it anymore I felt myself being pulled back into sleep, I willingly let sleep overtake my body. I dreamt of Devin- he kept hitting me, and I couldn't find the strength to scream or cry. I watched as he beat me till my body went limp.

I woke up screaming and before I knew it something covered my mouth. My eyes flicked around the room and they landed on the window, it was... Open? I looked down and saw a cold hand covering my mouth, I followed the arm and that's when my scared blue eyes met Jacob's worried green ones. He pulled me into a hug and shushed me till I was calm.

"You wanna tell me why you were screaming you ass off after I left?" he asked with a chuckle. I quietly told him my dream and he just listened silently, "So, that's why you were a reck last night?" he finally spoke, I just nodded. "I'm so sorry, Missy, I really am" I nodded again and he just rubbed my back until I dozed off again. This time when I woke up Jake was still by my side, he was rubbing various patterns on my back. Aww how sweet. I turned over to look at him, he looked so freakn' sexy. His hair was ruffled an he was wearing a white shirt that clung to all of his god-like muscles along with some dark jeans. He pulled me up so I was level with his face.

"Good morning gorgeous" he whispered into my ear after giving me a gentle kiss on my forehead.

"Good morning" I Croaked.

"You didn't scream this time, I'm going to take that as a good thing?"

"Yeah, I didn't have any nightmares."

"Well that's good" he gave me a long hug "I better go though. I told my mom I was staying at John's and he is supposedly bringing me back at 10" I glanced at my clock- 9:45 - crap! I tore back the covers and Jake got out with me. As he got dressed, I stripped out of my clothes. Once Jake was out the window, I Iocked it and stumbled into my bathroom. I didn't bother looking in the mirror because I knew I looked like shit. I jumped into the bathroom and the water scalded my skin. Once I was done i tied up my hair into a messy bun and threw on some sweat clothes. As I trudged down the stairs I could hear the tv and my dads beer bottles clanging when he sat them on the coffee table. I wondered into the kitchen and poured myself a bowl of Captain Crunch cereal. I pulled back a chair and had a seat next to my mom. She didn't seem drunk, but she was hungover. I grabbed 2 aleave pill and set them in front of her along with a glass of water.

"Thanks" she mumbled and I nodded. My mom really wasn't that bad- when she was sober.

"Oh my god! Honey, what happened to your eye?!" everything flashed back to the other day when my dad had a baseball bat and was standing over me. "Nothing. I just got in a fight... At school." she nodded her head with disipointment, i didn't really care anymore.

"I'm going over to Morgan's, I'll be back later." I yelled as I ran up stairs and went into my room. I skipped over to my dresser and turned my straightener on and then proceeded to my closet. I decided on a loose black tank top and my shorts that were way to short for school. I threw on the clothes and started to straighten my hair. It didn't take long so I was back out of my room and out the door. I walked along the road and straight into town. As I walked I had a few guys (most were people just passing through) stop and ask if I wanted to go back to a hotel, I also received a few honks and a couple whistles. I didn't know where I was even going, I was just walking aimlessly.
