Catty's POV
I was used to the mysterious texts; I was the most "popular" girl in school. Wow I sound so conceded of myself. It never really bothered me every guy in the school wanted to get their hands on me. There have even been girls who have tried to break me and Jake up. I am not complaining but some days I want to go to school in sweats and not care but I am not allowed. Jake would kill me or just make me sleep with him. I am not a whore you would do it to if he was threating you. He isn't that bad though, he is a far size and he does know how to move but it's the roughness of his touch. It's like he is determined to make sure I won't be able to walk for a while. Sometimes I want him to make love to me, to actually care. I guess that's why I am so drawn to Scott. He doesn't seem to care what people say. I guess that's why I love him.
'No I don't love him, I don't even know him, where is this coming from?' I think to myself as I apply eye liner on my eyes. I was going to meet Jake at are local coffee shop. Something we never really do. This must be something serious, he only ever brings girls there to either cheat on me with them or if he is braking up with them. This cant be good.
I look across from me to a broken and beaten Jake. His left eye glued shut from the swealing. You can tell he is holding back tears.
"Jake baby, What's wrong?" I question, scared to find out what is wrong.
"I can't do this" he is now looking up at me for the first time since I sat down.
"Do w-what" my voice begins to crack
"I can't lie to you, I cant keep pretending that my life is ok that I am safe. The truth is that my father is a monster and I cant stay there any longer. I need you, I need you to help me. Catty I love you I want to be with you, I want to protect you." His hand is now holding mine. Not rough or hard but soft and loving. I can hear the truth in his voice I can see the love in his eyes. This is the first time that I have ever seen this. Its nice to see.
"You can stay with me" I say soft and quiet just so he can barely hear me. I don't know what has come over me, I thought that I wanted Scott but what I really wanted is a loving Jake.
Me and Jake walk out of the café hand in hand. I want to hold his hand forever. I want to hear him say I love you and actually mean it. It's a nice thought.
After sneaking his stuff out of his house me and Jake made are way to mine. I placed what I have in the car and help him with the rest. I cant help but feel happy.
The car ride is long and slow. We talk and weirdly for the first time he doesn't ask about sex. He tells me how his mom was beat pretty bad and that Jake was holding on to consensuses but something I didn't expect him to say is something I never wanted to hear. He told me how Scott just stood there and did nothing, how he just watched with a smile on his face. I couldn't believe my ears, the guy that I thought was so great was actually a coward. Urg I am never talking to him again.
