Not good enough

9. He's back

Thursday 1pm

I missed school again , but I didn't care anymore , Jake went though, which gave me enough time to unpack some more of my things and clean the house and sort the things into their given places.

I walked into my room and find a note on my pillow and read

'Hey love , I'm coming at 3 and we can go to the mall to pick up somemore stuff for the house and sort out some things.

See you later ... J '

Okay so until 2 hours , I got my outfit ready and then began to unpack .

I looked at the watch and it read 2:45 , I just unpacked the boxes and bags and got dressed into my checkered top, with ripped jeans and black boots. A few minutes later a knock came at the door , thinking it was Jake , but ... it wasn't.

I walked to the door and saw throught the hole in the door, and locked my door, what is he doing here? I told him to never find me , or talk to me , what would he need from me ? What if he is here to finish what he started .

Oh my god , he is coming here to kill me , No this can't be happening . NO way .

"Lisa open up" he whispered , he didn't even sound drunk and he didn't seem to have a weapon not even a belt.

"What do you want ? I told you to never talk to me agai-"

" I know you saw your mother" he cuts me off

" When the hell were you going to tell me ? That you guys were divorced? Why did you try killing me? Do you think I deserved the shit you put me through?" I yelled at him with all my force through the door.

"Listen Lisa , hear me out ... Please let me in?"

"No, I can hear you clearly , you are perfect away from me !"

"Fine, I didn't want you to find out because I knew you would run away from me , and I never wanted you to leave an-"

" So you abused me every single day , bruises after bruises? I yelled at him again.

" I cam home drunk every night , you know I was an alcoholi-"

"NO , I'm happy where I am now , you leave this instant."

And with that Jake appears .

" Sir , may you please do what Lisa says , and do us all a favour and leave?" he tells my used to be father.

With that he walks away and I stare at him to make sure he is completly not seen again.

"Thank you so much Jake! " I grab Jake and hold him close and as tight as possible . We stayed like that for a few minutes.

"Are you okay ? Did he hurt you at all ?" he asks checking if I have an scares are bruises.

It was cute seeing Jake so concerned , so as I stare at him I get lost in the moment and so does he.

Next thing lead to another , we were kissing , I liked kissing Jake I always felt the fireworks go off between us , its felt good. His lips were perfectly fitted onto mine and it felt like he was a puzzle piece into my life . He was the one I needed to make the picture.

We pulled apart and he held my hand and we walked to the coffee shop and then the mall .

We got paintings and tables for the outside garden , and he bought more clothes and I just bought a necklace, I swear Jake loves clothes just like any other girl , except more .

It was already 7 and the shops closed at 8 , so we had some time left , so I begged Jake to come with me to the bookstore and buy some books.

And if you didn't know , I was a book nerd , I loved reading books from all genres and fall in love with the characters like they were my very own .

I bought 10 books and they were relatively cheap , so Jake was fine with it .

I think the worst part of this day was that , there were girls flirting with Jake and eyeing him like he was candy , and one girl tried to get his number. 

 I was standing right beside him when this happened , like did I look likes his sister ? WTF. But luckly Jake denied all the girls and held my hand during the process , some of the girls gave me dirty looks but then some of them apologised and said we looked cute together .

We weren't even dating  yet Jake denied , maybe he does have feelings for me like I have for him . I think we are to scared to admit it , maybe I should start , I will tell him tomorrow though , cause I'm way to tired to lift a foot.

We called a cab and went back home .

I decided to tell him as soon as we entered the house.

" Jake , I need to tell you something ..."

" Yeah, and I kinda have something to tell you too, but you first "

"Okay , listen I-"

Then there was a loud noise coming from outside , sounding like yells.

"Mom? Jem? Carl?" They ran into the house panting.

"He ..." my mom started .

I looked outside , and then my abusive dad was outside the gates.

"SHIT!"
