Tuesday

I'm still pissed off about what happened on Saturday night. Lacey had no right to hit or even touch Annette. Ruben should have listened to me. Now Lacey has bruises on her face. Ruben, has a black eye, a cut lip, and a big bruise on his left cheek. I told him, but he didn't listen or even back off so I beat him up, just a little bit.

Right now the whole Squad is eating lunch. Across the lunch room was Ruben staring me down and I give him a small wave before rolling my eyes. 

"Hey, I forgot my phone in my locker I'll be back," Annette announced leaving the table. We all started making plans on going to the lake or something. I had to really pee, I excused myself from the table and started walking to the restrooms. Our restrooms are outside of the school next to the locker rooms. After I did my business and washed my hands. I was walking around the corner. My phone vibrated and I got a text from my mom and I smile. 

Catching me completely off guard, I was pushed against the wall. A big heavy hand was around my neck. I saw his eyes were full of anger. Five other guys showed up from behind him. He gave me the smirk that I'd known since forever ago. He released me and first, they all started beating me. I was fighting them the best I can. When I saw Annette push some of the guys to try and help. But she ended up running away in fear instead. 

"You two go after her." He demands.

"No! Justin don't do anything to her please." I beg as they continued to beat me. From the corner of my eye, I saw Ruben come out as he stood there watching. I was on the floor trying to get up to stop the men from chasing Annette. 

"Ruben go call someone now!" I yell at him. He seemed a bit taken aback before he ran inside. Next thing you know, the whole squad comes out well mostly the guys because the girls were a bit freaked out. But Kaylee didn't she jumped in to help.

"Go! Help Annette please," I beg them pointing where she ran. Kaylee, Danny, and Nyle ran to go find her. I saw the guys my guy friends being beaten up and falling on the floor. Justin took a knife out and backed me into a corner and sliced my forearms as I tried to defend myself. He took the knife and rose it high, he was about to stab me when a huge body flew in the air and took him down. I got up and threw my keys at Natalie to bring my car around. Once she did, I opened the truck and took out my gun, tape, and rope. I place my gun in my waistband before I continued to fight some of these freakishly big men. Next thing you know three guys were on the floor unconscious. Justin was still fighting with a guy who saved me. Annette came back but Danny was holding her in her arms.

"She's unconscious," Danny said in a panic. 

"Take her to the hospital," I tell him as they go. Chris, Noah, and Jace pulled the two other guys who had beaten up Annette over to where they were at. Justin finally fell to the floor. I was trying to see who knocked out Justin. I catch his eyes seeing the rage in them. Ruben. I glance away at the men on the floor. 

"Tie all of these b*tches up," I say grabbing the rope and duck tape I brought and it to the others. Ruben stood there watching as they tied them up. I grab his hand and pull him over to my car. I pull out my first aid kit from the trunk. Yes, I'm prepared for situations like this. He hissed in pain and cursed at times. As I started to clean up his face, his eyes glanced at my forearms. I had almost forgotten. I finish cleaning Ruben up and start to do my own but Ruben takes the alcohol wipe from me and starts to help me. I try to refuse.

"Let me," He whispered still holding my forearm and I sighed. He wrapped them in bandages. 

"Thank you, for uh saving me," I say to him glancing at him. 

"Thank you for cleaning me up." He said as he finished my forearms. I closed the first aid away, I sigh, and start to walk away. When I felt two strong wrapped around my waist from behind. I turn around to see Ruben. He pulls me into a hug. At first, I tried to refuse but I hugged him back.

I pulled away and it got a bit awkward so I walked away. Ruben refused to leave me alone so he came along. After tieing up the bad guys and Justin. I told everyone to go to the hospital while I took care of this. I put the guys in my trunk with Ruben some of them didn't fit in the trunk so we tossed them in the back seat. On the way to our destination, Ruben kept poking me. I told him to stop but he didn't listen. Every time he poked me it brought back memories. Lots of them. About us. The past.

We got to the forest area and Ruben carried the guys as I drag some of them. I sat them down on the floor. I took out my gun and point it at them.

"Wait. You're going to kill them?" He grabs my arm and moves the gun down. 

"Well yeah," 

"Why? Can't we just beat more or leave them here? What happened to you Jess, I didn't think you were this cruel?" He says as his eyebrows frown. 

I burst out laughing before I scoff "What happened to me? I'll tell you. You happened. After what you did I made myself better and stronger blocking out the misery. Justin and I dated for quite some time. But once we broke up, he became obsessive and I got a restraining order against him. The police barely did anything and said I made up the stories of him harassing me. He even got his friends to harass me too, verbally, and physically."

I saw his facial expression change, "Why didn't you tell your parents?" 

"Because Ruben, they already had enough on their plate with work during that time and I was mostly alone. I didn't know what to do." I raise my gun back up.

He pulls my arm down again, "We don't have to kill them,"

"And if I don't then what? They'll just keep coming after me and now my friends I don't think so," I snap at him. Before he could object once again I pushed him slightly and shot them. Ruben was in shock as he stared at the bodies. "I-I, Y-you.." He stammers as I walk to my car. 

"Yeah, yeah. Now help me with the bodies," I threw a shovel and gloves at him from the trunk.

As we were digging, I was pretty quiet observing Ruben. He was totally freaked out. "I'm guessing you've done this before?" 

I laugh a bit, "I'm not going to lie, only once. These guys had beat up Natalie one time and mobbed her. She told me and my parents so we took care of it," I admit to him. 

"Wow, remind me to never mess with your parents," He jokily says to me. I chuckle a bit and roll my eyes.

We drove to the hospital and once we got there we saw Annette. She was in bad shape, her face was pretty bruised and cut up, and her wrist was sprained. It's all my fault if it wasn't for me we would've been all fine. I go outside to get some fresh air and wrap my head around the situation. I just met these wonderful new people and they're hurt because of me. "Urgh," I punched the wall outside. I hissed in pain but it distracted me from my thoughts. Just when I was about to throw another one a hand stopped my fist. I look up to see Ruben. I glare at him before removing my fist from his hold. I light a cigarette and smoke it. He stood there watching me in silence. I threw my cigarette on the floor and smash it with my foot. Once again the awkward silence was killing me. I was about to walk away but he grabbed my hand. He pulled me in and kissed me but it was just a peck. I stood there in shock feeling the small tingle on my lips. I was going to walk away but my body wanted more of him. No, I can't though. He looks at me as if he knew I wanted more. I sigh pushing him away but he quickly pinned me up to the wall and started kissing me. I tried to refuse but my body said no. I kissed him back loving the feeling of his lips against mine. My arms snaked around his neck. 

He pulls away, I place my hand on his cheek as he hisses. His face was pretty beaten up from earlier. 

"Sorry.." I whisper removing my hand and looking down. A breeze went by and sent me goosebumps. He came close to me as I rested my head on his chest. He places his jacket around me. I look up to see him already staring at me. That beanie looked good on him. I could hear his heart beating fast.

We stood there without moving. His warmth gave me security. I hated this, fighting my emotions for this stupid bad boy who was once mine.

Ruben Heart you have no idea what effect you have on me.
