Reckless

Chapter 10

We walked through the door. I closed the door and walked to the kitchen. I let go of his hand. "Mom, this is Jc." I say nervously. "Oh, hi Jc. I'm Katie.." My mom says with a big smile on her face. "Hi, Mrs.Johnson" Jc says with a smile. I'm waiting for something bad to happen. But so far it's good. Hopefully this will happen the whole time. We are having Chicken tonight. Is that okay?" My mom says while walking to the Oven. "Yeah, that's fine." Jc and I say in unison. "Jess, could you set up the table?" My mom asked. "Yeah." I say softly. I go to the cabinet and grab 3 plates. I set them on the dining room table than grabbed 3 glasses. "What would you like to drink, Jc?" I ask while walking to the refrigerator. "Um. Waters fine." He says quietly but loud enough to hear him. "Okay, mom do you want water to?" She nods. I walk to the table, grab the glasses and fill them up. "Diners ready. You guys can go to the table." My mom say. Jc gets up and walks to the table.

I sit down, and Jc sits next to me. My mom puts the plate of chicken in the middle of the table. She walks back into the kitchen. I've been so nervous  all night and Jc and I alone doesn't help. Jc reaches and put his hand on my thigh. I start to get more nervous. "Your nervous, huh?" Jc whispers. I look over at him and nod. "It's gonna be fine.." My mom walks back with Corn and Mashed Potatoes. She sits across from Jc and I. Jc moves his hand of my thigh. We put food on our plates. "So Jc, I'm been noticing that you've been hanging out with Jessica a lot lately." My mom says. "Oh god. Hopefully he doesn't say anything about us "dating" I think to myself. "Yeah, we have been lately.." Jc says while smiling. "Has anything happened that I should know about?" She says. "No, everything been perfectly fine. We have been hanging out a lot that's all, Mrs. Johnson." Jc adds. "Oh okay." She says.

I'm just sitting there. Not saying a word. I don't know why I'm freaking out so much. So far, he hasn't said anything bad. "Can I be excused, I have to use the bathroom" I say. "Yeah, Jess." I get up and go to the bathroom. "Why is he being so nice? This isn't the Jc that everyone's knows. He's the bad boy in school that gets into fights and everyone's scared of. What is he thinking?!" I say to myself while pacing in the bathroom. I walk back to the table. "Is everything okay Jess?" My mom asks. "Yeah, everything fine." I softly say. She knows that somethings is wrong.

We finish dinner. I get all of our plates and put them in the sink. I start to wash them. "Do you want me to help you?" Mom asks. "No, I got it." I say. "I'll help her.." I hear Jc say from the other room. "Great" I mumble under my breath. Jc comes walking in. "I can help you babe." Jc whispers. "I don't need your help. I can do this." I say. He grabs my arm. He starts to squeeze. "I don't wanna have to do this, but you know I will." He firmly says. "Okay okay. Fine! Just please let go of me." I whisper.

We finally get finished. My mom comes in the kitchen. "You kids done yet?" I nod. "I'd like to get to know you better Jc." I look at him. "Okay." He responds. "That's just great." I mumble to myself. I walk into the living room with Jc. "Tell me about yourself Jc." My mom says. "What do you wanna know?" He responds. "Like how you and Jess met. Tell me that." Oh god. Great this is gonna be fun to here. I think to myself. "It was the first day of school. I figured she was new because she looked confused. I decided that I would help her. That's when we starting talking." He says. "Oh, well that's nice.." My mom responds. She looks at me with this face like 'you found a good guy'. I feel like my mom likes the impression Jc put on. "Well, it was a pleasure meeting you Jc." My mom stands up and holds her hand out. "Thank you for having me." He responds. He gets up from his seat, they shake hands. "Jess, please walk Jc out." She says. "Alright." I respond. We walk outside to his car.

"Thank you for being civil." I say while nudging him. "No problem." He says. "Thank you again for agreeing to do this for me. I've never seen you so calm since we've met." I say. He smiles. "I don't know if this is the right time. Should I ask? Should I not? I don't want him to get mad at me. I don't want anything bad to happen. I should just do it. Alright. Here it goes."I-I have a question." I blurt out. He looks at me. "Yeah?" I bite my lip. "Um. W-Why do you hurt me?" I say quietly while looking at the ground. He doesn't say anything. I look up at him. He stands there. He seems like he's staring off into space. Maybe he's thinking. What's going on with him? I look into his eyes. "Jc. Are you gonna answer me?" I say while waving my hand in front of his face. I tried to get his attention again. He hurries and hops into his car. He turns on his car. "Why won't you answer me?!" I yell. He reversed out of my driveway and left me standing in the driveway by myself.
