Im new here

Chapter two

"Jess," I hear a voice whisper my name. "Jess wake up," I slowly open my eyes and see my brother, Ben. When i have the strength to sit up, i hug him tightly and i begin to cry. He lets go from the hug and wipes a tear from my cheek. "Are you okay?" He asks thoughtfully. Its been a year since the incident. I swallow the lump in my throat, "I had a dream about mom." He grabs me once again and hugs me tighter. We sit there for a minute just hugging, it feels nice to know hes here for me. Hes all i have left. It was a warm day in June. 8:30 in the morning. I groan and roll over into my blankets. My head hurts and my eyes are sore, probably from crying. I lay there for a most twenty minutes. I finally get up and now its 9:03. I take a shower and dress into light blue denim high waisted shorts and a old light pink T-shirt with bleach spots everywhere, my hair falls naturally into its slightly annoying waves and I walk out of my room into the kitchen where a plate of pancakes and eggs were waiting for me. I quickly eat, put on my gray vans and walk quickly towards the door. "Jessica Michelle!" My brother yells to me. I stop in my steps and turn around annoyed. "Yes mom," I say with a smirk. He rolls his eyes, "Where are you going." I close the door behind me slowly.
"To meet up with T he gets back from Arizona today." He nodes,"Have your key?" He asks. I lift up my key chain and rattle the chains together. "Okay I won't be home until 2:30 in the morning, don't get into trouble." I smile. "Okay," I turn around and run out the door. I walk to the park just down the street and I see Andrew Cole and his gang. He waves to me but I give him a disgusted look. (I'll explain later), Emma Clark and Her boyfriend Joel Ross were sitting on a bench she called my name and I walked over. "Hey," Emma says smiling. "Hi, wheres Terence?" They both laugh, "Don't like us?" Joel asks. "Oh no its not- I'm sorry" I say awkwardly. "Its okay, you haven't seen him for three weeks. I understand," she smiles and stands up and pulls me in for a hug. I hug her back and see a familiar figure walking from the trail ahead. Its Terence. I pull away and run towards him. My eyes tear up and he starts running too. My heart stops as I fall into his arms, he lifts me up and I wrap my legs around his waist. I cup his face into my hands and dramatically kiss him. Today is so special. It is our six month celebration, I am so glad he got back in time. I absolutely could not explain the happiness building up inside me. "Hello princess," he smiles and brushes a piece of hair behind my ear. I blush and hug him again, still wrapped around his waist. I did not want this moment to end. He sets me down and we intertwine our fingers together as we walk back down toward Emma and Joel. Emma and i aren't close friends, but Joel and Terence are best friends so we always end up hanging out. Terence and Joel do this weird hand shake thing they made up in fifth grade then hug. " Me and Joel are gonna go to the movies," she pauses, "wanna join?" I look to Terence but he shakes his head. "I think we're gonna stay here, you guys go though." he wraps his arms around my waist, I look down and smile. "Okay bro hit me up later," Joel says and nodds his head. They walk away and me and Terence turn around. "T?" I look up as we walk the path. "Yes beautiful," he says not looking up. "My brother won't be home until really late tonight." I pause and wait for a reaction. "Wanna stay the night?" He nodds his head dramatically and we both giggle a little. We go on through our day sitting and enjoy each others company. We bump into Andrew, "Sorry man" Andrew says not taking his eyes off me. I move closer to T. He wraps his arm around me."Yeah whatever," T says in a protective voice. "Hey bro I didn't do anything to you." He says throwing his hands up in defense. "But you did." He says gripping me tighter. "That was forever ago man! Forget about it!" He says furrowing his eyebrows. "What you did was unforgettable." He turns away, pulling me with him. "Fuck you, and your cunt of a girlfriend too!" He yells when we are about 10 feet away from him. T let's go of me and turns around sprinting towards him. "Ternece stop!" I scream as he punches Andrew to the ground he gets on his knees and continues to punch him. Suddenly he stops and falls gripping his stomach. Andrew with a pocket knife in his hand trying to catch his breath. "Oh my god!" I scream running towards him and begin to bawl. Andrew gets up and looks down. I'm trying to stop the bleeding. I grab out my phone and dial 911 Andrew kicks the phone out of my hands. "You can't do that to me! I am not going to jail." I stand up shaking not knowing what to do. "We need an ambulance he's gonna die Andrew!" I cover my face with my hands and cry some more. He takes a step closer to me and whispers, "I will murder your brother, your best friend then you and make them all look like accidents if you put me in jail." I look up in fear and he hands me his phone. As quickly as I can I dial 911.
