Chapter 5 – The fall
I rushed to get finished for school I just wanted to get away from Jerry at this stage I finished as fast as I could, just as I was about to leave he pulled me back by my arm and said he wanted to explain but I ripped lose from his grip and refused to listen when as I was about to turn around I fell straight to the floor.
I stood up with a shot of pain going through my jaw, Jerry had hit me solid threw the face, I started crying. He stood there looking at me as to say he didn’t mean it. I couldn’t help but flinch when he tried to help me up, I eventually got up by myself and went to sit on the couch, and he went to get some ice. I stood up and went to the bathroom to clean the blood that was forming in my mouth.
I looked in the mirror and a blue bruise came across my face and some spots on my arm where his grip was. I took some make up and covered it up; I went to my room and got a hoodie to cover up everything.
I quickly ran down stairs past the kitchen before he saw me and went to school, when I got there I kept a low profile I didn’t really want to be near anyone at this stage. For the first few periods it worked until maths came a long, just the thought of Jed there made me sick once again and I just wasn’t in the mood for his sarcasm at this stage.
So I went in quickly in quite a bit of pain, I took in my seat pulling my hoodie over my head and lying on my arms. Not long and he came in and sat down next me, just as I thought he wouldn’t notice me I heard his voice say “Hello stranger, where you been all day?”
I decided to just ignore him hoping he’d get the message boy was I wrong, he pushed me a little and I just couldn’t take it anymore, with enough pain as I had him pushing me all the time didn’t make it any better.
I looked at him with tears in my eyes and asked him nicely “Please would you just leave me alone.” I went straight back to lying on my arms. Not caring what went through his mind after seeing me cry.
For the rest of the period he left me alone “Thank goodness I whispered to myself.”
As soon as the bell went I rushed to my hiding spot, a little room where they kept all our old school furniture. Somehow I felt safe there just to sit there and cry in silence.
I didn’t want to go to the rest of my classes that are left, so I stayed in this little room for the rest of the day when school finished I waited for most of the people to leave before I left.
I didn’t want to go home so I went to the other side of town to a little coffee shop where no one really knew me. I sat there thinking what am I going to do when I get home what would happen to me if I did.
Jed POV
Today was a very weird day most of the day went as usual girls trying to get to me, and James teasing me about it all of the girls. I kind of laughed about it.
There was one thing that wasn’t the way it should’ve been, it was Serena. She was crying today it was the first time I’ve ever seen her cry, but yet again it was right after I pushed her. I’m sure I didn’t push her that hard did I.
It bothered me a bit, I soon forgot about it when Blair came running to me with a picture she coloured in at school today, “It is beautiful, did you do colour it in all by yourself?” I asked her, “She shook her head saying yes.
I laughed at her, looking at the time I ran her a bath to get her ready to go to the babysitter while I go to work. I made her something to eat for when she was done she could just eat.
I dropped her off early cause I wanted to go to the coffee shop to get myself some coffee to help me through the night. As I got to the coffee shop I stood in line and looked around I saw someone in a hoodie, it looked very familiar.
I couldn’t put my finger on where I saw it, I ordered my coffee and walked to my car as a car pulled out and when I saw the face with the eyes full of tears I knew it was Serena.
She popped into my mind again, she couldn’t still be crying about I pushed her, so it had to be something else. When I got to work I changed my mind set to focus on what people want to drink.
Serena POV
As I pulled into the drive way I started getting scared of what to expect. I stepped inside the house and I heard the shower on so I went to the kitchen and got myself enough to drink and eat for the night, I was planning on spending it in my room. As I was getting what I needed I heard the shower turn off.
I hurried and ran I to my room closing the door I just wish I had a key for the damn thing, I started on the homework I had when the phone rang down stairs and I knew it was Angie but I’m too afraid to go answer it.
Not long Jerry called me to come speak to my sister, I went down stairs slowly, and he showed me I’m not allowed to tell her what happened. When I finished on the phone I moved in the direction of my room, when he told me to go to him.
I refused once again and he grabbed my leg and pulled me down the stairs. He was drunk, he grabbed me by my shoulders and made me look him in the eyes and said “see what you do to me when you don’t listen to me.”
I was so scared who knew what he was going to do he threw me down on the couch and shoved a piece of paper into my hand and said “This is your new schedule, you will keep by it or else.
He picked me up again and dragged me into the bedroom and pushed me down onto the bed.
Who knows what’s going to happen next, or what Jerry is capable of doing…. Thank you once again for reading my book please vote and comment.
