30. The Nail In The Road

The Nail In The Road
___________________

I don't know which part of this is harder. Holding your tears because you recently found out that the person you stupidly trusted has lied to you and used you for your body. Or seeing the very person who could make you feel like you are a waste of space in seconds just by existing.

No. No. No. This has to be a mistake. There's no way that this person who treated me like garbage and who disrespected me horribly, dated someone sweet like JJ.

Well, he lied about knowing the actual video just to get in bed with me. I can see why they would get along. They have the same effect on people. But then again, I barely know this girl.

Rafe started to get up from the ground while the rest of us stood still staring at each other. His face is bloody, which suddenly makes me nervous. What happened before JJ and I arrived? Why did he look like that?

I glance over at Santana. Her brown locks cover half of her face. She rests her head on Pope's shoulder but hasn't taken her eyes off Lily.

"Well," Lily began, "This is awkward, isn't JJ?" She looks over at him. She brushes her hand against his arm, which makes him jerk at her touch. I suddenly felt sick to my stomach as I watched Lily slide her hand down to JJ's. A smile rises to her lips as she stares at him. JJ doesn't look at her directly, but I have a feeling that he's watching her from the side of his eye.

"Get. Out." Kie demands to Lily, "And take your bitch with you too." Her eyes glide to Rafe, "If you ever come back, you'll walk out of here with more than just a bloody face."

An ugly smile forms across Rafe's face as he wipes off the blood that was on his lips, "You threatening me, Kie?" He laughs, "That's sexy." Disgust rolls around my stomach. Intrusive thoughts bounce off of my brain as I glare at his disgusting eyes.

I glance over back at JJ and Lily. I barely know this girl, but the way she broke Topper and me up and ratted to his mom about us, she's not a good person. I scrunch my nose a little as I see Lily hold JJ's hand. I hated the way she touched him. I hated that she touched him at all.

Kie goes into the kitchen without notifying us. Santana is still in Pope's arms, but she's staring directly at Rafe. I made eye contact with Pope, "What happened?"

But Santana spoke instead, "Just some stupid shrimp dick bitch trying to start something with me," She looks directly at Rafe, "But can you blame him? I bet he hasn't touched a woman that isn't his mother."

Kie snorted at that, "That's not true, assuming his mom probably left him for drugs."

Santana laughed so hard that she had to cover her giggles with her hand. A laugh went up my throat but I shoved it down, not wanting to make the tension thicker. Rafe's face twitched with anger as he stared Kie down.

"Can you guys just like...leave?" Pope asks Rafe and Lily. Rafe then glared at Pope like he was promising a threat. Lily was whispering something to JJ, which made me feel a little sick.

"Can you get your skanky self off of him?!" Kie yelled at Lily. "Nobody wants you here."

Her dark eyes move over in Kie's direction. She finally distances herself away from JJ, but then walks her way toward Kiara. Lily pouts teasingly, "Now, Kie, we all know that's not true," She rubs her thumb against Kie's cheek, "I know you missed me, honey."

Kie shudders at her touch. Why are JJ and Kie reacting the same toward her touch?

Kie and I made eye contact, and I immediately knew that she needed help. It's insane how easily girls can understand each other without having to say a word.
