                                            Chapter Sixteen

MIRANDA P.O.V

I stayed in the bathroom for the rest of the day and no one noticed well except the attendance people. when I went home it was 20 minutes before the bell rang so I could escape from Jackson. I ran home and went inside. "why are you home so early and why are you out of breath?" "the teacher let me go early and I ran home because I had to.. uh pee." I stuttered out. "ok." she looked like had been crying. "Mom, what's wrong?" "your father left for work again they needed him in Siri."

"Oh." my scared-ness went away and I just felt hurt. my dad left again and god knows how long it would be. "shh it's ok Mom." I said rubbing her back as she cried into my shoulder. "he said he wouldn't go again!" "I know Mom I know." my mom was a very strong woman not like she could lift 500 pounds but strong she never let us see her cry and she never showed us her emotions because she thought that if she showed it to us then she was failing us at being strong.

"I'm sorry you have to see me like this I don't want you to." "Mom stop being sorry it's not your fault you can cry." my mom cried on my shoulder for about 10 minutes and then straightened herself up and acted like she never cried. that's what I loved bout her she stood strong and held her head high. I went up to my room and looked out the window. I then got a text from Jackson saying where was I he didn't see me after school blah blah but I ignored it. I couldn't handle him right now.

all I could think about at this moment was my dad left again and I'm getting the shit beat out of me every time im with Jackson. now I understand when his parents kept giving me sad looks. they were afraid for my life. and now so was I. My phone then beeped again and I looked at it. it was from drew. Jackson hadn't been too crazy to make sure I wasn't texting or still had Drew's number. but I still have the feeling he will do it.

DREW: can we talk?

ME: I don't think it's a good idea...

DREW: trust me if that bastard ever pulls something like that and I know about it I will beat the living shit out of him!!!

ME: :) thanks, Drew but I don't know If he is coming here or not I just really hope not I can't take this anymore :'(

DREW: so I was right?..

ME: about what?

DREW: bout when you broke up with me it wasn't because you wanted to

ME: yeah you're right when you showed up he had a gun to my back and pushed it father and father into my lower back and that's when I told you to not get closer.

DREW: :'( I'm gonna do something about this I can't just wait on the sidelines and watch you die inside and out because of him!

ME: no don't please I don't want you getting hurt because of me!

DREW: I don't care I will get hurt and go to jail or get fired or all of it because that's what I do when I love someone as much as I love you

ME: :) I love you too <3

DREW: <3

I then heard someone clear their throat and I looked up. Jackson was standing in front of me mere inches away. I deleted all the messages between me and Drew even though I didn't want to. "who were you texting that was so important that you didn't pay attention to me?" "my cousin." I said bluntly. "let me see your phone." "no!" he tried to force it out of my hands but I kicked his side and he fell out of my bed. groaning in pain he rolled across the floor. "you bitch!" my brother came in with Jackson's yell.

"what the fuck happened here?!" "Your fucking sister kicking me in the ribs!" Aaron looked at me but then back at Jackson. Jackson got up and held his side. "let's leave her alone she needs some time alone and we need to talk." I'm glad my brother took him away he was a good brother to me and always protected me I just wish he knew what Jackson was doing to me.
