With You

I have to go to school soon and I look like shit

My eyes are swollen from crying myself to sleep and the scar above my eyebrow looks even worse now

And what's even worse is that I started my fucking period and im really not in the mood to get out of bed

Dragging myself to the bathroom I brushed my teeth making sure to avoid looking at myself in the mirror knowing I would probably feel disgusted at how I look

I pulled on some jeans and a large hoodie and headed out of the house quickly so I don't have to see my mom

As soon as I arrived at school I ended up ditching first period

I wasn't in the mood to talk to or be near anyone and im really not trying to do work today

So I decided to sit at the benches near the football field and read a book I brought from home

A few minutes passed by and I grew uncomfortable feeling someone's gaze on me

looking up from my book I instantly locked eyes with Aaron

He was leaning against the gate with a cigarette between his lips staring at me

How long has he been standing there?

He slowly made his way to were I was sitting and sat next to me making me feel even more uncomfortable

"U-um hey?" I slowly turned to look at him from where he sat next to me

"Why aren't you in class?" he suddenly said

Why the hell does he care whether I'm in class or not

"Well I could ask you the same thing"

He swiftly turned his head to look at me causing me to avert my gaze away from his

It took me by surprise when I felt his large hand grabbing my chin and turning my head towards him

He was so close

I could feel his breath on my face, his eyes were darting from my eyes to my lips

"Um a-aron? What are you doing?"

What the hell is happening

All of a sudden his gaze darted from my eyes to the scar my mom gave my last night

A look of anger ran across his face

Why would he be angry?

"I um fell down the stairs this morning" I immediately said hoping he wouldn't ask about it

"Jennie" he suddenly said letting go of my chin

It felt weird hearing him say my name

"Um yea?"

"Don't fucking lie to me"

What the hell was his problem
