chapter 6- Shit gets physical

Amaru

After five minutes of arguing with this Yamp Monica and convincing her to drive me to Jay's house I eventually got there. I texted her to let her know I was there and she told me to just walk in. Why would she leave her door unlocked? I went up to her room to see her door closed I thought maybe she was doing something,so I knocked. "Come In" she said just loud enough for me to hear. The shit I saw when I walked in her room was the last thing I expected to see. Her eyes was bloodshot red,she was wrapped in a bloody cover,and there was a towel on the floor. Of course my friend instincts kicked in immediately. "Jay,what happened" I wasn't tryna to sit on her bed,because the blood was all over the place. "Can you help me up?" She completely ignored my question. I didn't wanna just pick her up because it was obvious she didn't have anything on. So i got the towel off the floor. I wrapped her in it while picking her up,carrying her to the bathroom. I notice she had a black eyes,and another purple bruise on her face. I knew it had to be that asshole she considers a boyfriend. I told her just last night,that if he was capable of hitting her once that he'll do it again. I'm pissed off because I know Jay has a good heart and she don't deserve this shit. I sat her on the counter top that the sink was connected to. "You need some ice on your eye, where's the kitchen" I tried to touch it just to see how bad it really was but she jumped at the slightest contact I made. "Downstairs, go in the deep freezer next to the fridge" She put her head down. I ran downstairs to her kitchen, I was trying to find something to put the ice in but I couldn't, so I looked I her freezer for something else. I found some frozen peas and just grabbed that. I ran back upstairs to her still the same way I left her,but she was crying. I picked her head up,placing the peas on her eyes. It didn't seem to do anything but make her cry harder. "Look,hold this and I'm gonna run you a bath" she was still crying not paying me any mind. I was really feeling bad for her. Finally she spoke through her sobs. "Everything hurts,it hurts so much. What did I do to deserve this?" Seeing her like this was really pissing me off,just know the next time I see christian bitch ass I'm fucking him up.
"Jay,listen to me. You didn't do anything wrong but when you're messing with an insecure, bitch ass nigga like him you never know what can happen. I don't even need you to tell me anything, he's gonna get what he got coming for him" I kissed her forehead trying not to touch any place that has been beaten and bruised on her. "Stop crying, you too beautiful for that" she shook her head. "Beautiful? Look at my face!? I don't look beautiful I look stupid. A stupid 18 year old who was too in love to see reality!" She was right but it's not the time for me to say I told you so. I just ran her bath water,trying to avoid conversation because I don't know what to say in a situation like this. "I deserved this,didn't I? I let him do this to me. The one thing in my life I had control over, I let him take it from me" I don't what to say,but I do know one thing my momma always told me was,words don't always help but a hug always feels the same. So I did just that, hugging her. She broke down in my arms,I got her to get off the counter and stand. I could tell it was hurting her. I had to release from the hug to turn the running water off before it began to overflow and I stopped her before she took her towel off. "You got some different bed sheets?" She pointed to a cabinet that I didn't realize she had in there. I got some clean sheets out so I could change them while she bathe. "I'm gonna come back In here in 15 minuets to get you,ok?" She just nodded while I walked out and closed the door. I took the bloody sheets and comforter off her bed replacing them with new ones and turned her A.C on high so it would be nice and cool when she got out. I put the sheets in a clothes hamper near her closet. Then I went in her closet and got her a big t-shirt out,but I find any underwear. I know a girl's room all to well,looking in her top drawer. I wasn't tryna let the hormones take over me while looking at her panties,so I just grabbed the first pair I could. I let her take her time in the bathroom but eventually the 15 minuets turned into an hour. She was not about to be in there all day crying. I had to get her out,going in there she looked so drained and lifeless. I grabbed a fresh towel picking her up, sitting her on the bed. I dried her damp body off,she didn't mind me seeing her naked,I wasn't even checking for her like that anyway. I was going to put her clothes on for her but she stopped me."I got it" I turned away so she could put her panties on,I didn't want her to feel uncomfortable. "You done?" I made sure I asked before I uncovered my eyes. "Yea" When I say this is the craziest situation I have ever been in. And the fact that I'm doing this,and she not my girl is something else. I don't know what she is to me,at this point the shit is too complicated but we're in too deep already. "Jay maybe if you lay down and relax it'll take your mind off some of the pain" She didn't respond. She just sat there staring into space with tears in her eyes. I had to do something, more than what I've been doing. I took my hoodie and shoes off. I picked her up,cradling her in my arms. She just held in to my chest,sobbing even harder than before. "Sshhh,baby it's OK. I got you now" I laid both of us in her bed,with her still clinging to me. She had her arms wrapped tightly around my neck,drenching my shoulder with her tears.
