Secrets, Bruised and Broken - Part 2 / Danisnotonfire Fanfiction

Chapter 10. Why are you Doing this?

A few days had gone by, Jeremy has come into the cafe every single day, he just hasn’t said anything else to me. He just sits at one of the tables like a creep / stalker, sure he orders food, take my word it is creepy as hell. Alec has been working the same hours as me, just to make sure nothing happens and when I go home, someone’s always there. Whether it’s Dan, Phil, Pj, Chris or even Scottie, they all have been keeping extra things in my flat. Today was different, today Jeremy didn’t show up until after 3 pm ( Which is much late than usual ), I almost thought he was finished tormenting me. I was behind the counter taking orders, when he walked in and sat down at the normal table. Whenever he came in, everything in cafe got tense and things grew quiet. Joe attempted to take his order, but a few seconds after Joe walked over to me with a troubled look on his face. Joe sighed ” He wants you to take his order “, ” No. ” Alec stated walking up behind us. ” It’s my job, Alec ” I sighed, ” It’s not your job to take crap from him ” Alec exclaimed quietly. I rolled my eyes, ” Alec, he’s not going to do anything, not here, he’s not that stupid ” I stated. ” Fine, but if he even acts like he’s gonna try something, I’ll kill him ” Alec sighed, I nodded walking over to him slowly.

" What do you want? " I rudely asked, only to get a smirk outta of him. " Is that anyway of talking to a customer? " he asked with a cocky attitude. I rolled my eyes," I wanna talk…. " he stated. I shook my head, " This is a place of eating " I spat. " And talking….Nat….. I mean Ellie " he smirked, I took in a deep breath and glanced at Alec, who was standing at the counter with a glare on his face. I slowly sat down across from Jeremy, " It’s good to see you’ve made some new friends, do they know about the old you? " he questioned. I nodded, " Duh " I sighed. He chuckled, " What do you want? " I asked. " I wanted to ask you too dinner? " he smirked, " Fuck no! " I exclaimed without even thinking about it. He raised his eyebrow, " It’s either, go to dinner with me or come face to face with those god awful parent’s of yours. Because I remember how much you hated them " he smiled. I sighed as I glared at him, but I didn’t answer. " How about, you go to an innocent little dinner with me and then I’ll disappear, you’ll never have to see me again " he stated, " And you won’t tell me parents? " I asked. He nodded, " I will totally forget about all of this, It’ll be like it never happened " he smiled. I rolled my eyes, " Fine! but I have questions and you’re going to answer them " I spat. He chuckled " I’m not answering anything if I don’t want too ", I let out a frustrated sigh. " Can I get back to work now? " I questioned, he smirked " Yeah, we’ll meet here around 8. Wear something… Sexy ". I rolled my eyes again, " Don’t bet on that " I stated getting up and walking back over to Joe and Alec. " What did he want? " Alec asked, I sighed " He asked me to dinner and I only accepted, because he’s threatening to tell my parents that I’m here. And if they show up it’s gonna be a shit show ". " Still got that pepper spray? " Alec asked, I nodded. " Take it " he sighed, I nodded again. " And both of you, don’t tell Dan. He’ll get all dramatic and yell at me. Then he’ll follow Jeremy and I to wherever we go " I stated pointing at the both of them, " As long as you don’t get in a car with him " Joe sighed.             " Don’t worry, I’d rather take my chances with my parent’s then " I stated, they both let out sigh’s before our conversation ended and we all got back to work. I hated this and I hated this guy. And now I have to have dinner with the fucker….Ugh…..

I was standing in front of the mirror, with too much makeup on and a frown on my face. I had a stupid dress on, that looked better on the hanger. I was dressed as if I was Natalie, I didn’t know why tho. I’m not Natalie! I wanted to punch the mirror and myself. I quickly ripped off the dress and changed into one of my usual dresses, one that I felt much more comfortable in. It was half 7 pm, I was alone. I couldn’t just ignore Jeremy, like I do with Dan and I couldn’t act sick, because he’s not that much of an idiot ( I mean Dan’s not an idiot, he’s not threatening either though ). 10 minutes later I walked over to the cafe, where I was meeting Jeremy. He was standing outside with a smile on his face, all I did was glare at him. ” Let’s go, our reservations are at 9. And since you’re smarter than you look, I know you won’t get in a car with me, so we’ve gotta walk ” he spat rudely, ” Oh, what a charmer you are ” I mumbled under my breath. We walked for at least 10 minutes, by the time we reached the restaurant my feet were aching. We sat at a booth, quietly. He ordered for me, like he used too. ” I’ve got an idea, I’ll ask you a question and then you can ask me a question ” Jeremy smirked,                   ” Anything? ” I questioned. He nodded, ” And we have to answer it, no matter what ” he added. ” Fine ” I sighed taking the bate, which caused him to smile evilly. He ordered drinks, which were alcoholic ( I didn’t touch it ). ” Okay, first question. Are you seeing someone? ” he asked, I sighed ” No, I’m not ” ( I wish I was ). ” How did you find out about… Me? ” I asked, he smirked ” Max told me “. I held my breath ( How the fuck did Jeremy know Max? ), he chuckled at my reaction. ” Have you dated anyone, since me? ” he smirked, ” Yes ” I stated glaring at him again. ” How do you know Max? ” I almost shouted, he smiled. ” He’s my cousin ” he casually said, I let out a frustrated sigh and shook my head. ” Makes sense, since you’re both rapists ” I mumbled to myself, he still heard me. ” We did not Fucking Rape you ” he growled, I chuckled. ” Oh really? Then what the fuck do you call it when someone forces a girl to have sex, or drugs her to fuck her ” I spat, he glared at me. ” Watch your tone ” he growled, I sighed sitting back in my seat. ( I can’t deny that I was afraid of him, he could do anything. Nobody really knew where I was ) ” Why did you leave? ” he asked casually, ” Because I hated my life. I hated you, I hated them, you all fucked up my life and I just couldn’t handle it anymore ” I exclaimed ( I was being honest ). He scoffed, ” Don’t lie, you loved being in a relationship with me. You’ll never find anyone who’s better than me ” he snickered. ” I’d rather be alone forever, then be in another relationship with someone like you ” I spat accidentally, it just slipped out. His eyes grew narrow, ” Really? And what was so bad about me. Come on, tell me ” he smirked. I sat there quietly ( He wanted to get a rise from me, he wanted me to argue, he wanted to hurt me ), I didn’t say a word, because I wasn’t going to give in. ” Face it, nobody in town or school wanted you, I felt bad for you. That was the only reason I gave you a chance, but when I got to know you I started to see that you were amazing. Do you remember that night, that night in the back of my car. You gave in to me so easily, every time we fucked you gave in easy and that’s why I liked you so much. ” he smiled evilly, that was it, I was Done. ” You know what… Fuck You Dude! ” I yelled, he smirked. ” Really? What if I…. ” he started, but I quickly cut him off. ” I don’t care, fucking tell my parents. I don’t care anymore, I’m sick to death of worrying about them finding me, let them! So you Jeremy can go fuck yourself in hell, lord knows you probably already have! ” I shouted with all the courage I had, I stood up and stormed out of the restaurant. Then I stormed down the street, with my feet hurting just as much as before, but that wasn’t going to stop me ( Just in case he was following me ). I hadn’t even realized that I was crying, probably with makeup running down my face. I was so extremely pissed, people all around me where giving me strange looks, I didn’t care. But I was tired of saying that I didn’t care, because I did care. When I walked through my flat door, I kicked off my shoes and sunk to the floor in tears. This is what Jeremy always used to do to me, he didn’t need to touch me too fuck with my mind. Bernie waltzed over to me, I patted him on the head and picked him up. Then I walked into my bedroom, I changed my clothes quickly and laid down, cuddling Bernie close to me. Now it was time to prepare to come face to face with the people I once called mom and dad.
