Corrupting The Good Boy

Chapter 4.

After eating and cleaning up we head out. I follow Jake to his car and he opens the door for me again. I sit back as he climbs in thinking of where I could go. Im not going home and I'm not going to Ryan's. Maybe I should go to Ryan's and just get the talk out of the way.

"So how do I get to your house? "

"I uhh..I didn't plan on going home." I say feeling awkward.

"So you planned on staying at the school? " Jake asks looking freaked out.

"No. I planned on staying at Ryan's until my dad left. He's a truck driver. So I planned on staying at Ryan's until Monday but then..."

"What?"

"Candace said that Ryan wants to be with me and that by me always depending on him all the time makes it so he thinks he has a chance and I'm being cruel to him by leading him on." I tell him. Why did I just tell him all this? I don't even know him.

"I thought you said you guys were just friends. "

"I thought we were until before lunch. Im sorry for snapping at you earlier. It's just I don't know how to handle this. I don't want to lose my best friend. Im sorry for saying all this. I can just go Tyler's."

"Why not Candace's?"

"Because Im not sure if maybe she's just starting shit. It's just after all this time, why is my friendship with Ryan all of a sudden a problem for her? " I say looking at him. I pick up my phone and call Tyler.

"You can stay at mine." Jake says as Tyler answers the phone. I nod to Jake and talk to Tyler to find out he's not home anyways. That he's over at Jays.
"Are you sure? It won't be wierd? What about your parents? " I ask.

"Yeah I'm sure. It might be. Ive never had a girl stay over before so it might be weird. My parents are probably in their bedroom." Jake says heading to his house.

We pull into his driveway and we go thru a side door. I follow him into his room. He turns the light on and I start looking around. His room was real clean and put together.

I looked over to him grabbing sweatpants and t-shirt. Then grabbing something for himself. He hands me the clothes and points to a door.

I walk over and open the door to a bathroom. I shut the door behind me and start changing. I grab the soap and give my face a quick wash. I pull my hair back into a ponytail. I pull my toothbrush out and brush quickly.

I take a deep breath and check my arms over. I can see the bruises and I've never had anyone besides Ryan see them before. It makes me really uncomfortable. I feel disgusting looking at them.

I turn the light off and walk back out to the bedroom. I see Jake sitting on the edge of the bed already changed waiting for me.

"Let me put your clothes in the washer and I will throw them in the dryer before I shower tomorrow. " he says quietly. I feel awkward handing him my underwear. He takes my clothes and leaves the room. I look around the room again. I decide to put my phone on the charger.

"I uhh... I uhh thanks for letting me stay." I tell him as he walks back in the room.

"No problem. You can use the bed. "He says as he grabs an extra blanket out of his closest.

"Its your bed. I can sleep on the floor."

"Its fine. We can both sleep on the bed. Its big enough." I just nod and climb under his blankets getting wrapped up in his scent. He lays down on top of his comforter with the extra blanket on top of him. He folds his arms under his head.

"How bad is it at home?"

"It scares me." I whisper to him.

"I don't think you have to be worried about Ryan. I think he might just be protective of you. It's probably your friend Candace that I would worry about. She probably has a thing for Ryan and sees you in the way."

"I was kinda thinking that to. Either way I might lose a friend."

"Where are you staying tomorrow? "

"I was supposed to spend the weekend with Candace. "

"Im going to talk to my parents and I will see if you can stay here. See if it makes a difference if you take yourself out of the situation. You will be safe here."

"Your parents would let me stay?"

"Mia, my family is very religious. They will see it as God's word. Love thy neighbor. It will work out. Go to sleep. "

I layed there thinking about everything and Jake. I feel even worse for thinking the things I did about him. Its even weirder how we have grown up together and never talked before.

I roll onto my side facing him. I find myself craving to be closer to him. I hear his breathing start to even out and I close my own eyes. I lay there and slowly let sleep take over me.
