Always

Chapter 7

I wake up and grab my phone. 11:06 it said. Fuck I'm late for school. I look out the window, but Jack's car is still here. I forgot today was President's day so we don't have school. I didn't wake up with a hangover thank god. I don't regret last night either, but I can't get Jack out of my head. I walk around the house and it doesn't look like anyone is here. I eat a quick snack and head back up to my room. I turn on my tv and get out my toy. I don't know why I'm still horny, but nothing helps. I use it and let out a few moans until I'm done. Then I hear a knock on my door. I hurry up to get dressed and grab a towel to go shower. I open my door and of course it's Jack.
"Morning Princess." He says smiling.
"Why are you so happy?" I ask. He's still smiling.
"No reason. I told you I'd help next time you know."
    Really. He heard me even with the tv on. "I don't think you could fulfill my needs the way I need them to be." I say that made his smile disappear. Which made mine appear. I walk past him and go shower. Once I'm in I hear the door open. "I could more than fulfill your needs princess." He says. "Jack, get out of the bathroom, I'm literally naked." I yell at him. Thank God nobody was home right now. He starts to walk out. "Wait Jack." "Oh change your mind." he says seductively. I shut off the water and wrap my towel around me before I open the curtain.
"No, but I need a ride." "Don't you have a car?" he asks me annoyed. "Yes, but it's not starting. I lied, I just forgot to put gas in last night and didn't feel like it. "No, get your own ride." He says, back to being a jackass. "Fine." Gabriella is out with her parents right now, she doesn't have her license anyway. I would never call my ex to take me. Oh, what about the bartender guy, or is that weird? Fuck it.
Ring ring. My phone dials. "Hello?" The bartender answers.
"Hey it's Bell from last night. Are you busy right now?"
"Um, no. What's up?"
"Do you think you could give me a ride real quick, I'll give you some gas money, my car just won't start." I say.
"Sure, let me get dressed. Don't worry about the gas money. text me your address" He says. Thank God because I didn't want to pay him anything. Is that terrible of me? "Okay, thanks." We hang up and I text him my address. It's not long until he pulls up and I get into his car. "Thank you so much for giving me a ride. I just need to go to the store real fast." I say. He didn't have to come get me, but he did anyway.
"It's not a problem." We get to the store and I go inside to get what I need for my monthly visitor because I'm supposed to start today. Then head back out to his car as quickly as I can. He takes me back home and I thank him again. "Hey, would you want to go out with me sometime?" He asks. I hoped he wouldn't. I can't tell him I'm underage or else he won't serve me anymore. I look down playing with my fingers and look back up. "Look, last night was great and all, but I'm just going through stuff right now..." Jack interrupts me, "she's only 17 dude." I look at him with pure disgust and an 'I'm sorry' look at the bartender.
He drove off without saying another word. "Really Jack, now I'll have to find somewhere else to go." I rolled my eyes at him. Who the hell does he think he is? "You don't need to be going out anyway." He responds. He's acting like an overprotective father right now. "You do, why can't I?" He ignores my question and instead says, "You really slept with him?" "That's none of your business Jack! Ugh, you irritate my soul. One minute you're half ass flirting with me then the next trying to control me. I'm not your prospect Jack. Leave. Me. Alone." I say with emphasis on the last 3 words.
He walks back into the house and I'm left sitting on the porch. At least he left me alone. Maybe he'll actually listen this time. Probably not, he is annoying. We have school tomorrow and I remember I got an email from the counselor wanting to see me. That made me nervous. Soon after everyone else got home and we all ate dinner then said our goodnights.
I woke up this morning feeling really refreshed. I hope today is a good day. I decided on a crop top with sweatpants and my air forces.

We get into the car and nobody says anything. It's just this really awkward silence. I remember how Mark had set me up and that I'll have to face that today. We get to school and I walk in with everyone still staring at me. At least nobody smacked my ass today. I tell Gabriella I'll see her at lunch and make my way to my first class. Theo is still next to me and Jack on the other side. Why couldn't they have put me somewhere else?
"You were so wet over the weekend, Bells." Theo says. I hate when anyone else calls me Bells. My mom was the only one who could call me that. I stand up and go over to his seat. I lean down and say, "No one calls me that." With that I snap his wrist. "Ms. Johnson, go to the principal's office right now." Mrs. Loren says. "With pleasure." I responded. I look at Jack, he has no expression on his face at all so I leave.
"Ms. Johnson, I understand you're going through a lot right now, but you can't break somebody's wrist and think that's okay." "I sent there silently. "We're going to have to suspend you for two weeks or you can start doing your schooling online." I look up at him in shock. "Suspended or online? Really." I say with a scoff at the end. "I'm sorry, but yes. If you do it online you can graduate early with the other seniors this year though." I'm so stressed. I can't believe I let my temper get the best of me. "Fine, I'll do it online."
"Wow I can't believe they're making you do your schooling online. I'm sad we won't be having senior year together." Gabriella says to me when she gets home from school. "It's insane, it's dumb. At least I'll be able to get out of this town faster though. I need to get out of here. Too many memories, too much holding me back." I say. We have been talking about this for over an hour and Jack has been sitting there saying nothing. I wonder what he thinks about all of this. I'm staring at him way too long because he notices and gives me a smirk.
Boys are so dumb. "I'm going upstairs to see if I have my email yet to start my online school. I'll see you in a little bit." I tell Gabriella. I look over at Jack one last time before I head upstairs just to catch him already staring at me. This time I gave him a smirk.
