Miss Jackson

Chapter 16

I wake up to the alarm clock going off next to me, I turn over and hit snooze. I turn to my other side and wrap my arm around Delilahs small exterior and pull her in. I breath in her scent, as creepy as that sounds...I get up and walk groggily to the bathroom.

Delilahs pov

I hear Brendon's alarm go off, i have been awake all night. I woke up to a nightmare and couldn't fall back asleep. I didn't say anything to Brendon, I didn't want to wake him. So I layed on this side of the bed watching out the window as the leaves moved with the wind. The only thing on my mind was if my mom was  okay and what I was going to do if he ever found me. What would I do? He wouldn't hesitate to start beating me. He would drag me out of the house and I can't bring myself to think about what he would do next. As long as Brendon wasnt here whilst I was, that would end it all for me.

The only protection I have now is Brendon and his house. And that is the most frightening thing I thought about all night. Not that Brendon couldn't protect me but that, if he found this house and Brendon decided to leave for only a little while and that would be it, he could have his hands around my neck in seconds, cutting off my air supply and- I stop thinking about it because I will start crying. Brendon turns off the alarm and wraps himself back around me. I let the feeling of his warmth and his protective hold on me take away the thoughts of everything besides him.

He gets up, leaving me cold. I turn around to face the ceiling and listen to him doing things.

"Hey, you're awake" he smiles coming in and sitting on his knees on top of the bed. "I thought I'd have to drag you out of bed" he laughs and the way his cheeks are turned up makes me smile and forget about my worries. I sit up and look at him, I brush my hair away from my face and he helps by pushing a piece of hair behind my ear. I watch as his eyes find the marks on my neck and I look down in an embarrassed way.

He doesn't say anything for a while and I know he's studying them, concentrating on how my dads hands curved around my neck, holding me in place as he told me he would find me no matter what. A single, cliche tear trickles down my cheek and lands on my lap. He must have saw it because he lifts my face up and looks me in the eyes.

"I love you" he smirks and I smile back, those three simple words mixed in with that smile wash away my memories of last night and I kiss him. How does he do that? It's his super power...in a funny way he is my hero, he has saved me so many times. From myself and from my dad. He makes me forget about my dad and the past, he makes me so happy and I can't think of my life without him in it.
"I love you too" I tell him.
"We better get ready for school Ms Jackson, we wouldn't want you to be late" he says in a mocking fashion. I just laugh at his joke and start getting ready as he does too.

5th period. Mr. Reynolds, he is my favorite teacher of all time even over Brendon, even before I started dating him. He's just cool and laid back. I mean he may not teach my favorite subject which is Biology
but he teaches it well. He isn't a push over, no that's not what would make me like him. It's how cool he is with us, not on that cliche way like "hey kids, want to whip and do the nae nae" kind of cool. He connects with us on a level that not every teacher can. It's hard to explain really but he's just so awesome
I looked over at him, his beard is so nice today.
"Hey nice beard" I joke as I usually do with him. He looks at me and laughs lightly.
"Thank you" he fluffs it a bit. I remember freshmen year when he told us to call him Ry-Ryens and we did for a bit until the principal told us to stop. I still do if I'm in the mood and today I am not. During lunch I saw Colleen making googily eyes at Brendon and while I have planned to talk to her about it what would I say? Hey, knock it off with Mr Urie. I don't think she would just go along with it, she would question me and hard. So how would I tell her to leave him alone, how could I even bring it up? The other thing that pissed me off is that Brendon told me Colleen caught us kissing and he had to lie and say that it was a woman named Destiny so now I feel a little rage from having to compete with a non existent woman.
