Im Here To Stay - jerrie story

chapter three

I sat there staring at my artwork of jade questioning myself for a solid 10 minutes. Then the worst thing happened . Jade noticed my drawing of her.

"wow" she said amazed 

i don't know why she would be surprised , i thought she would have ripped it up and screamed at me . To be honest i would probably prefer that as that's what i'm used to- not trying to bring the mood down also. I just found it rather strange .

"sorry , i didn't mean to , i-" before i could finish my sentence i felt a finger on my lips. Jade's finger. I know it was to shut me up so i immediately shut up speaking not like i had a choice or whatever. 

" Sh, it's ok, it looks really good" she spoke soflty , and i was still shitting myself.

I don't want to seem like a creep or anything but i kind of like it that she was touching my lips. I know it sounds a bit weird but something about it felt nice. She is literally a girl i met 5 minutes ago and i'm already .... catching feelings for her , i think so anyway.

 There's just something about her, the eyes, the hair, the way she spoke was really soft and cute. When Jesy hears this she's going to scream it to everyone. Or give me a 2 hour rant about why i shouldn't like her because shes " the popular bad girl" or whatever but i havn't seen her been horrible to anyone . I know how she is as jesy always talks about how annoying Jade is, but i don't understand how such an innocent , quite small, looking girl can be so horrible?

**Jades POV**

She was apologising to me about drawing me. Bless her. She's new and is probably scared of me because of rumors about me. Everyone knows about me by rumors so i'm not surprised if she knew who i was before coming to the school. All the rumors go something along the lines of " Jade has beat up adults before " or " jade is such an attention seeker ", all the usual shit. I'm used to it by now though; everyone making rumors about you seems like it would make me cry but i've just lost interest in what people have to say about me. Unless its to my face , that is. 

To be honest , as much as the rumors seem true, most of them aren't. 

**When i was little , like 10 , my dad was still around with me and my mam. He would always make me practice boxing because i was "too soft because i was a girl" . My dad was nearly all the time drunk when he would "teach me to be tougher" and of course i was too young to realise that at the time. He got arrested shortly after my mam found out because he was quite brutal towards me because of his loss of focus from drinking **

Which leaves me here, people making rumors of me " acting tough towards everyone " when in reality i just had a dad who make me tougher so now i "scare " people away from me without actually knowing me.

Anyway, i didn't want perrie - hey i remembered her name- to be scared so i did the first thing that came to my mind and put my finger on her lips. It seemed to work , and she wasn't scared so it was a good move...
