The Killer's Little Girl

Chapter 10 -Part 2-

♡JESSICA

I sigh and run my fingers through my hair. The bell rang and everyone exits the school. I look at my empty locker and slam it. I turn around to see the squad. The girls were crying their eyes out. I wanted to cry too. I hug each and one of them. They gave me some goodbye gifts too.

"I promise I'll come and visit you guys." I tell them as they start walking away.

"Better!" Kaylee yells from down the hall. I stand at my locker and see my friends exit the school. I turn the other way and start walking away.

"Jesse! Jessie!" I heard my name being called but I ignored the call. I hear foot steps running behind me. "Jesse!" I sigh in frustration, I stop in my tracks. I turn around. Ruben was standing in front of me.

"Why is Natalie crying?" He asks me.

"Family problems." I lie and look down.

"Don't lie to me Jessica, what's going o-" he didn't finish his sentence because I cut him off.

"I'm moving!" I blurt out then cover my mouth quickly.

"Your what?! Why didn't you tell me?!" He says almost yelling.

"I was afraid to tell you okay! That's why I've been avoiding you. It's not my fault my family's in danger. I know I couldn't face you and tell you I was leaving." I try to explain.

"Still." He said.

"Why do you care anyway?! After I'm gone you're still going to be doing what you always do. Go around kiss girls and breaking their heart. So why do you care?!" I start to yell at him. My eyes become watery.

"Because Jessica I'm in love with you. You still drive me crazy. My heart still beats for you. And you only. To say the truth I never stopped loving you. Ever. The day you left me it was the worst day of my life. Because I lost you, the person I cared for, the person who was by my side no matter what. The person I loved left because of me. I felt so stupid for what I did to you. Because I had hurt the person I loved. That was you. I know you wouldn't forgive me because of my past. But Jessica please give me another chance. And I promise this time I won't let go. Because I realized that I wanted you . I'm so sorry. " He says lifting up my chin.

Tears stream down my face. I look at him, as he cleans my cheeks with his thumb.

"You're right I might not be able to forgive you so fast. But you never told me why you kissed Luna." I tell him.

"You never let me fully explain. Like i said before I went with her because she threatened to kill my family. She's dangerous and psycho. She's in some dark sh*t. Her father's probably even worse!" He explains to me.

I look down for a second, " Whatever. I guess we're okay. I may not forgive you now but later I know I will." I sniff. He smiles at me.

"Jesse I want to be with you." He tells me. I shake my head.

"No."

"Why not? We have the chance. We can do this. Together." He says hands both of my hands.

"Because! Ruben I can't." I yell getting out of his grip.

"I'm sorry, I just I can't." I tell him. His eyes seem to fill up with anger and sadness. Why must we always argue? I take his arm and pull him into the empty  classroom. He didn't look at me he just stared at the ground. I try and grab his hand but he didn't let me.

"Just leave me alone!" He yelled and I finched at his voice.

"Ruben-" I didn't continue because he cut me off.

"No Jessica just don't okay! I confess my love for you then you deny it! You don't let me in! I'm trying okay! I really do want to be with you but you don't want to be with me! I thought you actually liked me!! I thought that you would give me another chance but I was wrong! I was wrong!" He yelled at me. He buried his face in his hands.

"Ruben just let me explain." I tell him.

"No. I'm done. Don't talk to me anymore. I never want to see you ever again." He said. I tried not to show hurt in my face, my chest hurt too. His words hurt me. But then I had anger too.

"Fine! Don't let me explain. What if I had changed my mind? Huh? What if I'm in love with you?!." I yell at him. I caught his attention.

"Jess-" I cut him off this time.

"You want me to leave I'll leave. And I will never come back. Ever." I say.

"Goodbye Ruben."  I said then walked out of the classroom without him letting say a word to me. I ran down the hall way into the parking lot and drove home.

I saw the moving truck there already. I got out and put my stuff in the truck.

We hopped in the car and drove off. I roll down my window and see a field of yellow grass and weeds.

Ruben's words hit me again. I wanted to cry. But now I need to forget him. Forget the old Us. Forget everything that happened between us. I need to forget. Maybe moving is the best the thing for me. To start a new life. Maybe I'll find a guy. Maybe things will change. Maybe.

I'm looking forward to see what adventure waits for me. I'm on the road waiting to see what waits for me.

New life here I come.
