Just One Bite

Im Going Where!?

I stood up from the spot I was in, and threw my jacket off onto the couch. I heard my moms footsteps coming down the stairs and they were coming fast. "Jessica!" I heard her shouter yet again as she reached the bottom of the stairs.

"Yes mom?" I asked, walking up to her trying to act innoccent. She lookde at me, her eyes narrowed with suspicion.

"Where have you been?" She sniffed the air, "And why do I smell alcohol?" As soon as she finished her second question, her eyes immediatly hit mine. She narrowed her eyes even more, if that was even possible, and looked me up and down. "Really Jess?" She asked, shaking her heaad in dissapointment. "Go to your room, well talk about your punishment tomorrow after you get out of school." I frowned, letting my head fall as I walked upstairs to my room. Once I shut my door, I remembered I was supposed to spend the night with Jane to make sure I didn't get into trouble with my mom. I slapped my forehead onto my bed, as I groaned. I knew I was stupid sometimes, but not this stupid. I didn't even bother taking my clothes off that night, I just grabbed the blankets and covered up, quickly falling alseep. "Jess, time to get up." I heard my mom softly say as she shook me awake. Rolling over, I looked up at her.

"Hey." I slightly smiled. All I could was I knew what she was going to say, 'Jess, you're grounded for life. You leave the house besides going to school, Im going to kill you.' I was relieved when she told me I wasn't grounded. But what came next, shocked me even more.

"I think you should move in with your Uncle Charlie..." She said, looking down at me. Uncle Charlie? But I haven't seen him for about ten years. Last time I saw him was when I was 8, and I was there with Bella... Bella, she used to be my best friend. The girl I used to tell everything to. I guess it wouldn't be so bad considering I would be able to see my cousin Bella. I looked up at her, tears threatening to spill at any moment. "I'm making you go to school today, so you can say goodbye to all your friends." I slowly sat up,

"But mom, I dont want to move to Forks. It cold, and wet, and theres like no one there." I whined. "Ill be good I promise." I begged her, hoping she would change her mind since it was my first time being in trouble.

"Im sorry Jess, but youve gotten in trouble, youve been acting wweirdly, and you said you heard things. I have to get you out of here, maybe youll feel better after getting out of this town and explore things. Now, go get dressed for school, were leaving in twenty minutes." She answered, not wanting to discuss it anymore she walked out the door. I groaned but got up off my bed, and walked to my closet for the six-hundreth time in about three days. I didn't feel like dressing myself up, so I just grabbed whatever my hands touched first. I grabbed my black tanktop with the skull on it, my skinny jeans that fade from dark to light, then I slipped on my light blue TOMS. I left my hair down, and I did my makeup simply. I didn't want to wear a lot of jewlery, so I just put on my heart earrings, my infinity ring, my black and gold braclettes, and left on my infinity necklace that Jane had bought me for my 18th birthday. I sighed, throwing my bag over my shoulder, and walked downstairs into the kitchen. Sitting down on the chair behind the island, I kept my eyes down on the counter. "Im sorry Jess. Itll just be for a little bit." She said, resting her hand on my shoulder. I shrugged it off, and stood up.

"But all my friends are here!" I said, my voice getting louder with every word I spoke. "I dont want to move!" My voice was louder than I expected, and I could feel tears begin to fall from my eyes. My mom try moving forwards,

"Jess..." She started, but I cut her off.

"No, Its over." I said, walking out the door. The tears already falling. I wiped them from my cheeks before I jumped into my car. How was I suppose to tell Jane and the boys? What was I supposed to tell Markus? I really liked him, he seemed weird and strange. Like an asshole, and like he always got things his way, but I took a real liking to him after last night. As I started my car, I felt more and more tears fall from my eyes. Looking in my rear-view mirror, I looked at my makeup, "Shit..." I whispered to myself as I realized my makeup was smearing. I stopped at a red light, I wiped the smeared makeup off my face, and tried making it look like nothing ever happened.

"Hey Jess." I heard someone say from my left. Turning to face the face of the voice, I saw Blake sitting in his car. He lowered his music, and took off his sunglasses.

"What do you want Blake?" I asked, remembering last night, I was clearly annoyed with him.

"Look, I just wanted to say that Im sorry about last night. I was drunk, and I didn't know what I was doing." His face looked sincere. I couldn't be mad at someone for to long, it was one of my weaknesses. I sighed, Im leaving in a couple hours, so whats the point in holding a grudge?

"Its whatever Blake. I forgive you."

"You do?" He asked, surprise in his voice. "Yeah, I mean I wont be here much longer, so why even hold a grudge?" I sighed, throwing my hand back on my steering wheel.

"Why, where are you going?" He asked, looking over at me. I didn't answer his question, but I just drove the rest of the way to school. As I parked my car, Blake parked next to me. "Jess, where are you going?" He asked, standing in my way, so I couldn't move. I sighed, and looked at him.

"My mom thinks Im getting into much trouble, so Im moving states. Im moving to Washington." I felt my bottom lip quiver, I couldn't talk about this anymore, I pushed him backwards and nearly ran into the school building. I ran into the bathroom, and let myself slid to the ground inside one of the stalls. A couple minutes after crying my eyes out, I wipped off all my makeup and reaplied it. I took a second look in the mirror, and it looked like I hadn't been crying my eyes out for the past twenty minutes. I faked a smile, and walked out the door, only to walk into Jane and Markus. Just the smiles on their faces, made my heart hurt, my eyes began to fill with tears yet again,

"Jess whats wrong?" Jane asked, putting her hand on my arm, holding me so I didn't hurt myself as I slid to the ground against the locker.
