By dinner time I finish my homework. When I got home I saw my dad's car still here.
Danny invited me over as well as Holly and Brent and some other friends. She wouldn't tell me who.
That's just what Danny would do. Thinking of her makes me smile. I get changed into jean shorts and my Paris shirt which was given to me by my mother.
(A/N: The photo at the beginning of the chapter is her outfit)
When im ready I head downstairs. My dad asks me if I will be drinking and I said no. Honestly I didn't plan on it. Still, he insisted on driving me.
Leaving me to have to find a ride. I assume someone to be able to give me a ride otherwise I could sleepover.
When I got to Danny's everyone was in the sitting room sitting a circle, except Holly who was pacing around the room like a crazy woman.
Everyone gets up and gives me a hug. Some longer then others but I'm happy because I'm surrounded by the people I love.
I freeze in my tracks when I notice Jack AND Nate. The two people I'm not on the same page with.
Jack steps closer to me about to hug. I take a step back afraid of him. He gives me a confused look. I shake my head and step back again.
"No." I state only loud enough for him to hear. He steps forward as I step backward. We continue this until my back is against the wall. "Stop!"
I try to pull away but he has his arms locked around both sides of me. I remember Danny telling me about a firepit outside and that's where they all
went.
Damn it.
Her house in gigantic. No one could hear me scream if I tried. I try to pull away again and he slaps me. Again, across the face.
"What the hell is your problem?" I ask angrily moving forward shoving him in the chest.
This time he punchs me in the face. Straight into my eye.
That's gonna leave a mark.
He slams me against the wall, hitting my head roughly. I'm surprised I didn't loose consciousness.
"Alright. Listen here. The thing about Nate was a lie. I want you. He's just my coverup, my wingman. I don't like you being with Brent. It's-"
I immediately cut him off, "But I love him!" I scream. I shove him off with all the strength I have in me.
He punches me again and I fall to the ground. What was I doing? I'm just going to let him beat me up? I stand up and punch him in the face with my good hand, with my thumb untucked.
He fell to the ground unconsciously. Then I hear footsteps and they turn into running. I don't look up at them until I know he won't be getting up.
They hug me and I whisper to Jack, "I win."
***
I clean all the blood and let Nate take a look at me. My eye is fine and if anything it's just going to leave a nasty mark.
After I'm done explaining everything to my friends about Jack, he wakes up. And walks out. He doesn't even apologize or say a single word to me.
We head out to the fire pit. "my parents are calling brb." Danny answers the phone and runs back to us.
"They will be home in 10minutes. They can't know we we're here.
***
In no time the house was cleaned. I invite my friends over to my house but it's too late anyway. Instead Brent offers to drive Holly and I back to my house.
He's trying to make all of these sweet gestures to win me back. I still like him. I do. I just need some time.
The drive is silent all the way back to our house. It gave me time to think about my life and if I want to stay with Brent.
So much has happend and I'm grateful for my friends being there but I need a get away.
Maybe my dad and I could get out of town or something.
But I absolutely take back my words after I witness what's happening in my home.
