Skinny Love

For Real Jake

"Violet, honey, wake up! You're gonna be late for the first day of school." My mom yells to me.

"Ok mom!" I effortlessly yell back.

I grunt and turn over and check my phone. 7:05 a.m.

I get up and just sit on my bed trying to wake up.

I finally gain enough strength and go over to my closet and pick out my black skinny jeans, my black converse, and a Skillet T-shirt.

I quickly brush my hair, then part it to the side. I grab my make up bag and find my eyeliner, mascara, liquid eyeliner, and my foundation.

I put all that on but right as I'm putting on my mascara, my phone startles me by making a noise. So I got mascara all over my eyelid.

I fix my makeup and then check my phone and of course it was a message from Jake, my best friend.

"V, where are you, I got some news to tell you."

"I'm coming, I'm coming."

I grab my bag and throw my phone in it. Well not really throw. I love my phone.

I grab my keys and rush out my room, accidentally slamming my door.

"What did the door do to you, young lady?" My mom playfully asks as she walks out of her room.

"Nothing, I'm just in a rush." I quickly say as I hug and kiss my mom goodbye. I then quickly slide down the banister. I always did that whenever I was little. I literally never use the actual stairs.

"Be careful honey. I love you." My mom tells me.

"I will, love you too." I say back.

I then leave the house and get in my car. I'm still so upset about that scratch on the passenger door. I mean I just got this car.

I start the car and then I drive to the hell hole called school.

______________________________________

As I start to pull into a parking spot, I see Jake and some of his friends start walking towards my car.

I get out of my car and lock it and then put the keys in my bag.

We start running towards each other and hug each other and stay hugging for at least a minute. We haven't seen each other all summer since he went to his uncles in Georgia.

"Guess who got a new ride, V." Jake asks as we pull apart.

"Oh shut up. You did not." I say as I playfully punch him in his shoulder.

"You can bet a horses ass I did." He says as he chuckles a little at his own statement.

I chuckle too.

"Show me show me show me." I say all jumpy.
I don't know why I was so happy today. I'm usually sad.

"Ok ok calm your horses, hun." He said while leading me to his new ride. I guess his other friends left since I couldn't see them anywhere.

We stopped walking when we reach a dark blue Mustang. I must say it looked pretty cool. At least he doesn't have a huge scratch on his door.

"Huh huh. What do you think?" Jake says as he walks me around to the back. I see his license plate, V9 J14 F8
A pretty odd license plate if you ask me.

"It's beast man, but what's up with the license plate?" I ask still studying it. I mean it's just a license plate, what's there to worry about.

"Uhm, nothing really." Jake says as he looks around trying to not make eye contact.

"Uhm, ok?" I said, looking elsewhere rather than at the plate.

"Well, we better get to class." Jake says, breaking the silence.

"Ok, what's your first class?" I ask already knowing it but I just wanted to start a conversation.

"French class. You?" Jake responds, eyes glued to his phone scrolling through something.

"I'm pretty sure it's science class. I can't wait to me--"

Some idiot by the name of Tyler Jones, the schools biggest douche, purposely runs into me and then I hear "Hey hey hey let's say we do a little something something after school sweet cheeks."

"Ew getting away. I came here to learn not get hit on by fuck boys." I said with no regret.

"Aye she's a fiesty one you got there little Jakey poo." Tyler said while making kissy faces to Jake.

"Oh can it dirtbag. Go hit on some other chic." Jake said arching his back and stepping forward to Tyler. I had to hold him back.

"Or what? You gonna sissy punch me?"

That set him off. In five seconds after he made that last remark, Jake was on top of him beating the living shit out of him.

"Was that a sissy punch you little bitch. Don't you ever fuck with Violet again, you hear me?" Jake said inches from Tyler's face.

He nods. I'm pretty sure he's scared shitless.

"Good." Jake said as he got off of him.

He grabbed his stuff and started walking to class. I ran up to him and grabbed him by his shoulder.

"Hey, why did you do that. It was only me he's was messing with." I said in a serious tone

He was silent for a minute but then turned around and stared me in the eyes and said, "Because, Violet, I care about you." He paused, "And I'm not going to let other douche bags like him mess with you. The first day I met you I made a promise to your older brother that I would take care of you and look after you. And I'm gonna keep that promise." He hugged me after saying that. I started tearing up because he mentioned my brother. The one that went into Afghanistan and died saving this stupid country. We got the news he died on the week of my 10th birthday. It's been six years now.

After we let go, I noticed that I was starting to blush a little.

"Thanks, for saying that, Jake." I say with my hands covering my cheeks.

"No problem, hey we should get to class. The bell is about to ring. Don't wanna get into any MORE trouble on the first day of senior year." He said mocking me on what I said earlier.
