In the back of my mind I can still hear Kiko rambling, but I don't pay any mind to her. I'm still sitting here in awe. I still can't believe it! Jake, THE JAKE, he actually came in and saved me, he's so perfect, all I've ever wanted coming here was for him to be mine, why can't I ever get what I want?
"...And why do you think those girls attacked you in the first place huh?" Kiko lectured, "Because of that two-faced bitch Jake."
"Kiko I don't know why you're getting so angry at me, he saved my life! Aren't you glad?" I ask with confusion.
"None of this would've happened in the first place if you'd never met him" she mumbled.
I sat there saltily. What's her problem? She would never understand, but what me and Jake have is real. I love him! Maybe I don't have him yet, but I want him. Why is she so against this when it's the only thing that's ever on my mind? The only thing that'll ever make me happy.
I rub my temples. "Just get out Kiko." I sigh.
She stares at me for a second, her arms still crossed. She lets out a laugh of disbelief before narrowing her eyes.
"Ha, i can't believe this." She gives a quick glance around the room before her eyes land back on me. Those pretty chocolate eyes look cruel in the dark lighting of this room. "Fine, have it your way. But don't come crying back to me when you get your heart crushed." she seethes.
She gives me a glance, a gaze I can't pinpoint the meaning of, before walking out and slamming the door.
Great.
It was nearly time to go home, so I just hung out in the nurse's office until the bell rang. I decided to walk home, but I honestly didn't want to be home, I didn't want to see my stepmother and have her boss me around again.
"Ugh.. I wish I could just hang out at someone else's home instead.. I bet they have more freedom and actual good food... not whatever frozen crap is in my kitchen."
I tried to embrace the walk home, paying close attention to my surroundings. There were trees near me, I watched as a squirrel climbed down the tree... to be met with another squirrel on the ground. They touched their noses together and then happily ran off, going after each other. I couldn't help but think of Jake at that moment.
"Jake... Jake Collin... Jake.... "
His name was like the most beautiful music to my ears. Just saying his name made my heart fill with joy. So much that I completely forgot about how much I didn't want to go to my stepmother. I would become his. I knew I would. I love him, and I know he loves me.
I got closer to my home as I neared the street,
Ughhhh not this again. I should run away... run away with him... he'll take care of me, I know he will.
Soon.. I thought- as I was at the door. I slowly creaked it open and went inside.
