The Bad Boy (Jake Sims) *ON HOLD*

Chapter 8: My Boyfriends Back?!

Seems like the tomorrow I was hoping for didn't come true. When I woke up it was like any morning. Maybe a little happier then usual but still a normal morning. But when I walked to the kitchen of the two story house, when I was walking past the living room there passed out on the sofa, is my boyfriend. But I though he wasn't going to be back for another 3 weeks? Well so much for my good mood!

Walking quietly to the kitchen so I don't wake him, I grab an apple and my stuff from the foyer and leave. I can't believe he's back so soon! It's been what? A week? Maybe 2. This can ruin everything! I have friends now. What am I going to tell them if I come to school with bruises all over? Lying isn't an option because I can't lie to them. They are so kind to me. But, I also can't tell them the truth because then he will hurt them and I cannot allow that.

Stressing the whole walk to school I'm startled when I feel a tap on my shoulder. "Ahhhh" I scream. Turning to see who tapped me I seen James and the rest all on the floor laughing (not literally but still!). Then Jake walks up to me and puts his arm around me. "Are you okay? You seem jumpy today Lizzy." He ask with concern written in his eyes. Can he tell? Oh no he can't know! They will all stop talking to me if they find out about Mike! If they do they'll realize how pathetic I am. Looking at my shoes I finally answer quietly, "Um yeah I'm fine just a bit tired is all." He doesn't look convinced but says, "Okay but just know I'm here for you if you need to talk." He then kisses my cheek and says bye to everyone and walks to class.

"Awwwwwwwww Eliza!" Abbie squeals. "You guys are so cute together!" But they don't understand how much I want that to be true but it never can be true. "Look lads! She's blushing! Hahaha." James laughs. I look down embarrassed and trying not to blush. "Stop it. It's not true I don't like him." Even I have a boyfriend unfortunately I mumble. "What?" Stephanie who was standing closes to me says. Did she hear me? Shoot! Not good. Oh no panic mode. I turn to her and stutter, "You uh h-heard me?" Wide eyed I stare at her waiting for her answer. "Barely but yeah I heard." She whispered to me, "Do you want to talk about it? I'm a good listener and I won't tell anyone." She seemed genuine about it which surprised me.

"Um maybe later. When everyone else is gone. I don't want them to find out." I whisper back to her. "Why? They deserve to know?" Yes they do deserve to know but I'm ashamed that my boyfriend is abusive. I'm not good enough to have any real friends and my boyfriend is stuck putting up with me. I don't want anyone else to have to go through that. I'm just a useless, pathetic, fat girl that doesn't deserve to be happy. "Um, the bell rang I got to go to class. We can talk about this later. Please don't tell anyone please." I say quietly while starting to walk away. "Okay fine Elizabeth! But you will tell them it I will." She said walking the other way. I know she was only trying to help and not be rude but still it's hard.

After that the day went by pretty quickly and soon enough it was time to go home. I don't know why but I'm really nervous to go home today. I avoided Stephanie for the rest of the day not wanting to see her look of encouragement and disappointment looking down whenever I pass her to avoid her. Walking home by myself I sigh while starting to relax from the stressful day today. When I was about 3 houses away from my house I knew something was wrong. There were 4 cars parked in the driveway. One car I recognized right away but how? He wasn't supposed to be home for another 2 and a half months! Walking up the stairs I walk in the house because the door was already open.

"Whore! Come say hi to my friends! Don't be a bitch and go make grab us 8 beers first from the fridge! Also you need to go out and buy more beer, slut!" I hear Mike yell from the living room. Quietly walking to the kitchen first I grab 8 beers and walk to the living room and set them in front of his friends. His friends slap my butt but I know not to react from past experiences when I got beaten later for being 'rude' to his friends. "Here you go Mike. Anything else?" I say quietly hoping he won't yell at me. "Yes go out and buy more beer! And you get no dinner tonight for being so slow! Now GO!" He threw money at me and went back to playing poker with his friends laughing and talking smack about me like I wasn't there.

There are two advantages of going to the store the first is it gets me out of the house and two the store is a nice walk through the park. Walking out of the house I walk towards the park. The park is nice and looks like the forest with many trees and very quiet. There is also a playground that is pretty large in the middle of the park and a walkway that goes around the whole park and leads to the market (store). Slowly walking through the park I look at the scenery and the little kids running around laughing. I remember being a little kid running around laughing while my mom and dad laughed at my odd behavior. Oh how I miss them.

"Elizabeth! Hey Elizabeth!" I hear someone yelling. Looking around I see Jake running towards me. "Hey what are you doing here?" We ask at the same time. Blushing I look down. "Haha sorry Lizzy. So what are you doing here at" he looks at his watch "7:00?" He says while rubbing the back of his neck. "Oh um I was going to the store it's just past this park. What are you doing here... If you don't mind me asking." I say quickly blushing even harder. "Oh no it's okay. I'm actually here with my little sister." He has a sister? "You have a sister? What's her name?" I ask him sincerely curious. With a big smile on his face he say, "Yeah I do her name is Sydney she is 10. (A/N:Is she 10? I really don't know. Sorry.)" Aww how cute! I wish I had siblings. "Anyway it was nice talking to you Lizzy! But I should be getting my sister home. See you tomorrow!" With that he leaves to find his sister. When he is out of sight I suddenly remember my task in the first place. Mike won't be happy if I took to long so I run to the market got the beer with a fake ID then walked as fast as I could with the heavy beer in my hand.

When I get back to the house I'm happy to realize that there is only one car in the driveway. Taking a deep breath I open the front door and as quietly as I can walk to the kitchen to put the beer away. Once I'm done putting the beer away I quietly walk to the living room checking to see if Mike is in there. When I do get to the living room and let our the breath I didn't realize I was holding when I see a passed out Mike on the sofa. Walking upstairs I take a quick shower and then go to bed. Thinking back on the day I realize a lot has happened today. First Stephanie finding out my secret then having to sit in 6 classes with the biggest headache in the the world then coming home to have to go and by my stupid "boyfriend" and his friends beer. I miss Mike when we first started dating he was so sweet and cared for me and my feelings always how I was and if I was okay. But all of that changed after a year of dating after my parents were killed and I moved in. He then started to abuse me.

The only good thing about today would have to be seeing Jake at the park. I think I'm beginning to develop a crush on him but that can and won't ever happen for many reasons. First is because of Mike I can't break up with him he would quite literally kill me. Last time I tried to he said if he ever tried to break up with him he would kill me or torture me because I'm "his". Honestly I'm done with feeling useless. With Jake I feel wanted and cared for which I haven't felt since my parents death. Would they be prod of what I have become? A boyfriend that is abusive and a boy I like that will never ever like me back. Sometimes I just wish I could kill myself but m to much of a wuss to do it. That was the last thought in my mind before I
