Falling For The Player (ON HOLD!)

Chapter: 11(pic of Jenny)

-Lilly's POV-
I woke up at around 4 am from a nightmare. I was sweating when I woke up and the memories from the nightmare came flowing through my brain like flashes. I was running away from a dark figure. It was dark outside when suddenly I bumped into someone. I looked up and saw Jovani staring down at me lovingly. He then looked up and saw the figure that was running after me and finally I saw his face. It was Jake. "Well, well, well, always running back to your little bitch Jovani." he snarled. I whimpered and ducked under Jovani's arm. "Leave her alone." Jovani said. He turned his neck making himself look back to look at me and said, "When I say so, run." I nodded. "Lilly run!" right that second I took off. I stopped to look back and I saw Jake pull out a knife and stab Jovani in the gut multiple times. Tears spilled as I ran back to Jovani and caressed his face. "No Jovani don't leave me." I cried out. A couple tears fell from my face and landed on Jovani's face. His eyes fluttered open, he slowly lifted his hand to caress my cheek as he said, "I love you Lilly. I always have." At that moment he close his eyes and his hand dropped. "NO! Jovani! I love you too!" I yelled more tears spilling from my eyes. I hugged his lifeless body closer to mine as his blood kept spilling. "That's why you NEVER mess with me." Jake said coldly. I cried even harder knowing that I would never get Jovani back. I kissed his lips thinking that he would instantly wake up like the story Snow White but his face was still lifeless and pale. More tears spilled and finally I grabbed the knife that Jake was barely gripping in his hand and brought it to my stomach. "What are you doing?!" Jake asks and I shoot him the coldest glare I could muster up. "There is no point for me to live if you get to and my true love doesn't." I snarled and I injected the knife into my stomach harshly making me grunt in pain. Slowly I crawled to Jovani and laid next to him. I made his arm wrap around me and I laid my head on his no longer moving chest. A tear slipped down my face as I whispered, "I love you Jovani. Always will." at that moment I let my eyes close and slowly my breathing stopped. And that's where I woke up from the nightmare. I slowly crawled out of bed making sure not to hurt myself and picked up my phone which luckily didn't crack. I turned it on and immediately regretted it since the room was so dark and the light illuminated my whole room. I winced and looked away a while until my eyes finally adjusted to the light. I went through my contacts until I reached one. I dialed and it rang and rang and when finally I was about to give up I hear it. I heard the person's voice. I heard HIM. "Hello?" Jovani said in a very low husky voice making him sound incredibly attractive. "Bye Jo-" Before I could even finish a complete sentence, Jovani hung up on me. I was incredibly hurt but I understood. I broke up with him but for a very good reason. He freaking slept with Samantha. Anger boiled in my blood as I called him again. It immediately stopped ringing but before I could say something a robotic voice cut me off. "Error 101. This number has either been dialed incorrectly or can not be reached at this moment. Please try again later." I gaped at my phone and whispered to myself, "Did he really just BLOCK me." I shook my head and put my phone to charge. Why did I even call him in the first place!? I thought to myself. I laid there staring at the ceiling as time flew by. The hospital room was so plain and boring and the bed was so uncomfortable. I wanted to curl up in my own bed and be in my own room. When I turned on my phone I saw that it was 7 am. My eyes grew wide as I noticed that about 3 hours has flew by. I wanted to go back to sleep but I was so afraid that if I did, I would have that horrid nightmare again and I didn't want that. I plugged in my beats to my laptop that my mom brought me yesterday and typed in Netflix in the search bar. I scrolled through the many movies, shows, and documentaries until I stopped on one. Ridiculous 6. A comedy; which is exactly what I needed. I clicked play and got as comfortable as I could get in this uncomfortable bed.

-Jovani's POV-
I woke up before my alarm clock at around 4 am when I had a nightmare. I was walking around looking for Lilly. All of a sudden someone bumps into me harshly and I noticed it was Lilly. I stared down at her lovingly but I looked up to notice Jake was chasing her. "Well, well, well, always running back to your little bitch Jovani." Jake said making a muscle in my jaw tick with anger. Lilly ducked under my arm in fear. "Leave her alone." I said and turned my neck around a bit to look at Lilly. "When I say so, run." I tell her and she nods. "Lilly run!" I yelled and charged at Jake. I punched him square in the jaw and he punches me back. I thought to myself, 'I'm doing this for Lilly. I love her. If I die I hope she knows that.'. Right at the moment Jake pulled out a knife and harshly stabbed me in the stomach. I fell to the ground in pain. He stabbed me repeatedly. I then felt two of the softest hands caress my face. Lilly was the only person I knew who possessed those hands. "No Jovani don't leave me." she cried out and I felt a couple of her tears fall onto my face. I opened my eyes, slowly lifted my hand to caress her cheek and said, "I love you Lilly. Always have." I then closed my eyes as the last thing I felt was my hand drop. That was the worst nightmare I had. My phone started to ring and I looked at the unknown number. It seemed familiar but I answered anyways. "Hello?" I asked. "Bye Jo-" I hung up before she could say more. I recognized that voice instantly. It was Lilly. I blocked her instantly before she could call me back. My heart clenched in pain when I did that but I cheated on her and I felt extremely guilty. And plus I'm suppose to forget about her and move on. Yet I can't get her out of my mind. She has overrun my mind and I don't know why. I finally pulled myself out of bed and went to my bathroom to take a leak. After my little bathroom break I hopped in the shower and let the hot water cascade down my tensed body. After I cleaned myself I just stood under the steaming water not knowing why though. I finally snapped out of it and shut it off, hopped back out, and changed into some clothing after drying myself. I did my hair, sprayed on some cologne, washed my teeth, and put on some deodorant. I walked out the bathroom and glanced at my clock. I had 20 minutes to get to school so I slipped on some socks and slipped into my white vans. I decided to wear a beanie today so I grabbed my black one that was sitting on my nightstand. I ran downstairs and into the kitchen where I found my mom sipping on her coffee. I usually greeted her in the morning but lately I haven't. "Here. But I want it back when you come back from school. You better come back right after school with your sister." She said handing me my phone. "Where's your backpack?" She asked. "At school." I lied through my teeth. "Okay. Go to school." She waved me off. I rolled my eyes but still left the kitchen and yelled, "Katie come on!" seconds later I heard rapid footsteps coming down the stairs. I saw my sister on the last step with a big grin on her face. Her usual straight black hair was wavy with blue and pink streaks running through her hair. Her eyebrow piercing was back on and she had her red lipstick on. "Who are you trying to impress?" I asked as she walked or should I say skipped to the door. "Nobody." she replied in a sing song voice. I rolled my eyes and chuckled. "Who's the guy? Do I know him." I asked. "Maybe." She said stretching out the word. "Is he on the football team?" I asked another question as I handed her a helmet. "Yeah." She said cheerfully and her eyes looking out to the distance as she smiled dreamily. "Aww my lil sis has a crush." I cooed and pinched her cheeks. She slapped my hands away when she snapped back to reality and I just chuckled as I hopped on my bike. "Shut up Jovani." She said with irritation lacing over her voice. That just made me chuckle more as I started the bike and drove off to school. Once we reached the school I waited for her to get off so I could get off. "Are you going to drop me off home when school's over?" She asked. "Yes." I said and her smile went to a frown. "Oh okay." She said and I frowned. "Why the frown?" I asked. "Jovani I swear if you tease me I will get the whole football team to kick your ass." She threatened and I raised my hands up in surrender. "Scout's honor." I said puffing out my chest. "Jovani you were never in the scout's." She said flatly. "Fine I promise. Happy?" She nods and says, "I was kinda hoping the guy I liked could have given me the ride." She whispered loud enough for me to hear as she looked down at her shoes and making her hair cover her face knowing that she was blushing. "And I'm guessing this crush of yours is Jonathan." I said hoping she would deny it. She slowly looked up and nodded. "Why him?" I asked. "No. I should be asking you why do you hate him so much? What did he do to you?" She asked me. I heard the anger rising in her voice. "Because...." I trailed off but she answered for me. "Because he's Lilly's brother. Wow Jovani you are one selfish pig! I care about Jonathan a lot." She choked trying to hold back the tears. "You, you are the one who broke Lilly's heart and not me or Jonathan. We didn't cause you pain. You don't even know if you even freaking cheated on her!" She said breathing deeply. "Katie-" I started but she cut me off, "No Jovani! No I'm done. You broke that girl's heart because you THINK you cheated on her. You should have tried to figure it out first! She doesn't deserve all this heartache Jovani! Tell her the truth!" she yelled at me. The bell had rang minutes ago so the parking lot was empty other than the sleeping cars and us two. "Katie! I was in a freaking bed with another girl!" I yelled back at her. "She could have drugged you, made you sleep in that room, took you pants and shirt off when you were sleeping, took a picture, and then went to sleep to make it look like you slept with her! You NEVER slept with her! You would NEVER hurt Lilly like that!" She yelled at me. Someone walked out the school and I noticed it was Jonathan. "Oh great." I groaned. "What?" She asked and followed my gaze as she turned around and saw Jonathan. The ends of her lips quirked up a bit but when her eyes settled back on me she went back to her disapproving frown. "Now I'm going to school and you can do whatever you want. I'm gonna see if I can catch a ride with Jonathan and just tell mom you had to stay after school to see if you want to join some club or something." She said and started walking away. "Katie." I said but she kept walking towards Jonathan. I saw worry written on his face as he talked to her and all I saw was her head shake. He then smiled at her pointed at her hair, she touched it, and lastly he draped his arm around her shoulders. I thought he was going to enter the school with her but instead he dropped her off and waved goodbye to her as he walked to his car. "Wow." I said. "What?" He asked already irritated. "Nothing. Just that the little golden boy is ACTUALLY skipping school. Should I pull my phone out and take a picture or video to capture this historical event?" I asked with sarcasm lacing my voice. "You know what Hernandez?! Fuck off! I am SICK of you. I don't care if your Katie's brother. She's my friend but I don't know how she can live with such a irritating prick like you. I'm wasting my time here anyways. I gotta go visit my little sister also known as the girl who was heartbroken from you." He snarled as he walked into his car. I strolled into the school as the bell rang again signaling the end of homeroom. I walked into my first period as all the girls start whispering and try to make themselves look more presentable. "Hey Jovani." a girl named Rachel walked up to me. She's decent I guess. She was a nice blonde girl, an alright body, but I can tell inside her head she's hollow. "Hey Rachel." I said. "Umm actually it's Mackenzie but it's okay." She says. I nod and start walking to the back of the class as she followed behind me. "So I was like totally wondering, since you're not like dating Jonathan's little sister, if we can like hang out at my house like maybe today?" She says while twirling her hair on her finger. I was right when I said she was hollow where her brain is suppose to be. Who says 'like' that much in a sentence or two. "Uh yeah whatever." I shrug. She claps excitedly. She jots down her address and hands it to me. "See you like later." she smiles at me as she waves her hips side to side making me glance at her but a little.

-Lilly's POV-
I was jamming to Shawn Mendes 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' on my computer as I heard a knock on my door. I pause my song and said 'come in'. "Hey sis." Jonathan says. "Hey Jonathan!" I said excitedly. He practically ran to the side of my bed and pulled me into his embrace. I breathed in the scent of my brother since I've missed him. "I'm sorry little sis." He said and I shook my head. "Jonathan you don't have to apologize for anything." I reassured him. "Yes I do. I'm sorry for not coming to visit. I'm sorry I didn't tell you that I was in Jake's gang." when he said the last part I completely stiffened. I forgot all about that. "Jonathan?" I asked as I rest my hands on his chest. I push him away. "Tell me." I said. "It doesn't matter now Lil-" I cut him off. "No! Jonathan it DOES matter!" I yelled and I saw as he visibly flinch. "I don't even know what the hell happened AFTER the accident." I said. He let out a breath and said, "Since mom and dad were on a business trip they don't know. James, his parents, and siblings were out so they don't know either, and Jovani's parents were out with his sisters." He told me. That explained why none of them said anything since Jovani and James are my only neighbors. We live in a secluded spot and it's gated. "What about Jada's parents?" I asked. "They were also on a trip." he says. I nod. "When you were dating Jake I caught him dealing." Jonathan starts. "This was when you guys started dating. I told him what I saw and he said if I didn't join his gang then he will kill everyone I love but I told him that I already wanted to join. He was surprised and he even asked me why. I told him that I was fucking tired of my boring old life and I needed some action in it. I was finally a member and no I never killed but he did make me torture people. I was tired of hearing them scream in pain and when I was done another member would shoot them in the head or snap their neck. Those people had families yet I did bad things to them. Jake never got involved with the families unless is was necessary. He told me a month before he was gonna propose that he was going to propose and that I would be the leader of the gang if anything ever happened since I would be his brother if you said yes. I was overexcited. But a week before he proposed I caught him having sleeping with another woman. It was a client of ours. He told me not to tell you or the gang will never be mine. I said I didn't care about the gang anymore because you were more important than the gang but he threatened me again. He said that if I even gave you a hint that he will kill everyone I love including you. So I didn't tell you but I told him I wanted to leave the gang. As long as I promised to never tell anybody about who was in the gang and where their secret spot was, I was allowed to go. I got into trouble because someone tipped Jake and I said I told the rival gang who the leader was but Jake found out that I didn't tell and the rival gang thought someone else of the leader of Jake's gang and he was content." He finished. Tears were strolling down my eyes as I was being held together by one thin string. "Jonathan what happened to being equal and telling each other everything?" I asked, surprised that my voice was steady. "Lilly I'm sorr-" "No. I'm done with all the sorry's. Get out Jonathan." I cut him off and pointed towards the door. "And don't bother picking me up tomorrow when I get released. I'll ask James." I tell him and he stands up and storms out the room without a word. I let out a shaky breath not knowing when my life became so eventful and not in a good way.
