Who Knew?

Chapter 9

We were sitting around the fire at our graduation party just talking about everything that went down at graduation. That's when it hit me really hard, that I was pretty much head over heels for Jason and he didn't give two shits about me, I mean of course I came out of that love trance as soon as the abuse started. Even through the abuse, I still had faith in him and I don't know why.

I sat there staring at the fire for a while then I got up and walked away. I walked away so no one could see my tears, my pathetic tears all because of a pathetic guy. Hunter caught up to me soon after and when he seen the tears he stopped me.

"Jena, don't cry. You have no reason to cry." Hunter told me.

"But I do, Hunt. Jason didn't care one bit about me and he had a kid with someone else and I never even suspected it. I feel so stupid, so helpless. I just want to get out of this life. I hate my life. No one cares." I cried.

I dropped down to the ground and bawled. I hated feeling sorry for myself, but I did. I felt so sorry for myself, so sorry that I put myself through the abuse. So sorry that I cried so much, so sorry that I was crying now.

"Don't worry about that, he's not worth it. Don't ever say no one cares. Because I happen to care a hell of alot. I care more about you than anything. I love you, damnit." He began.

He sat down beside me and put his arm around my shoulders. Hunter didn't say anything he just sat there with me and let me cry. A little while later he looked at me and I smiled at him, with the tears streaming down my face.

"Don't cry over that douche, anymore. He might have a kid with another girl, but he'll never have a kid with you. Just be happy about that." Hunter told me.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. I'm sorry for ruining graduation day and night for you." I replied.

"You didn't ruin anything, it felt good to hit him for one last time." He laughed.

I smiled and laid back for a second. The stars were shining bright and it felt amazing out. Hunter leaned over and kissed me slowly. I could feel him smiling into my lips and I loved it. I loved knowing that I had someone that actually cared and enjoyed being around me.

"Okay, let's get back to the party." I broke the kiss.

"Okay, if that's what you want."

The rest of the night went by like a breeze, I had stayed with Jamie and Hunter because it was too late to go home. When I woke up I was in the warm bed alone, no one was in the room with me.

"Hunter had to go to work, they called and said they needed him to start today." Jamie told me when I walked downstairs.

"Oh, can you take me home? I have some things I need to get done around the house before Hunter comes over tonight." I asked.

Jamie took me home, the house was empty when I got there. I guess Mom had to work today too. I had quit starbucks a while back because Jason kept coming in there bothering me.

I went to my room, laid on my bed for a while and cried. I went to take a shower and I cried. Everything I did, I ended up crying. I had no clue why, but the tears just wouldn't stop.

Around seven thirty that evening Hunter walked into my room and seen my photo albums laid on my bed, might I add the photo albums were of Jason and I. Hunter looked at me confused and had his mouth open a little, like he had something to say just nothing was coming out.

"It's not what it looks like, I was going to throw these away a few months ago but I never got around to it." I explained.

"You don't want to forget about him, do you? You don't want to let go of that. You need to let that go. He's not worth it, he made you his punching bag for how long? And it's like you're fine with that. When you're ready to forget about that asshole, call me. But until then I'm out." With that he walked out of my room.

He walked right out of my house without another word. No goodbye, no kiss my ass, no nothing. I knew it had to hurt him to see all of those pictures of Jason and I but I didn't think he'd leave like that. I thought he would at least try to talk me into throwing the things away then and there.

It did hurt me knowing that I hurt him, I should have known not to have that stuff out when I knew he was coming. But I made my bed and now I have to lie in it I guess.
