Part 11: Bob And Pat's Parents

Jen's POV
I cut myself because I can't deal with the pain. The pain of my mom being dead. The pain of Bob not caring about me. Me and Pat are cuddling in the spare bedroom right now. I honestly feel so much better when I'm with him. I've just been crying and bawling. But Pat doesn't seem to care. I mean, he's ok with me crying on him. He cares about me, and wants me to feel better. Then, his phone starts ringing. It's his mom. Pat hugs me tighter, and answers it. "Quick, put on some loud music!" He yells down to Dan and Jem, and they do.
"Hi sweetie," I hear his mom say to him. He put her on speaker, so I can listen, too. "How's the party?" She asks.

"Good," he replies, "I'm having a lot of fun."

"Really?" His mom remarks, "Is Frannie there?"

"Yes," he says back. "Can I talk to her?" His mom questions.

"Um... She's in the bathroom," Pat replies.

"No," his mom says, "she's here with me. There is no party. You ran away with that slug girl. You left me, us, for a loser. Do you even know what you're doing? She's a loser, Pat. A slug, an idiot. Why do you even care about her." I start crying harder. Why does she do this to me??? Pat hugs me tighter.

"Because I love her, ok!!!" Pat screams into the phone, crying now as well. "She cuts herself because no one likes her. Her dad beat her mom to death, her and her brother ran away. Her brother became a drug addict, and started attacking her, and her best friend stabbed her in the back. How does that make you feel!?!?" She's silent for a while, before she hands the phone to Bob.

"Let me talk to Jen!!" He screams through the phone.

Pat's POV

I don't want him to yell at her. I put my hand over Jen's mouth to shush her. "Let me talk to him," she whispers, and I move my hand. "What do you want?" She says to Bob, "Can't you tell I'm happy?" I smile a little.

"You little IDIOT!!" Bob yells, "You just LEFT without even telling me!! You come home right this instant or I'm gonna kill you!!!" Jen is crying her eyes out, and the music has stopped.

"Your not fooling anyone!" Frannie yells, "We know that she forced you to run away with her. That little..." I hang up before we can hear the rest. Jen lays her head on my chest and closes her eyes, crying herself to sleep. I hug her tight, and close my eyes. This is going to be a long night.

*Timeskip To Morning*

It's finally morning. I wake up to use the bathroom, and pass Dan and Jem in the hallway. They walk by me, smiling.

"How's Jen?" Dan asks.

"I think Jen's still sleeping," I reply

"You might want to wake her up," Jem tells me, "we need to get ready for school. You two can go to ours."

"Ok," I reply, "I'll go wake her up." I tiptoe into the spare bedroom, and walk up to Jen. She looks so peaceful when she's sleeping, so happy. I jump on the bed, and tickle her. She instantly wakes up.

"Stop it... Stop..." She says in between laughter, "I can't take it." I stop tickling her.

"Get up lazy," I say to her, "we have to go to school."

"Ugh," she replies, then gets up and gets dressed. I do the same.

"Breakfast!" Dan calls up to us, and we run downstairs. The cat runs behind us. We've decided to call him Cloud, because he looks like a little, fluffy cloud. When we sit at the table, Jemma passes a plate of bacon down the table, along with some pancakes and eggs.

"Enjoy!" She exclaims, and we gobble them up. We hear a screech coming from outside.

"There's the bus," Dan says, running out the door with Jemma at his heels. Me and Jen run out with them, and on to the bus. We get in a seat, and Dan and Jem sit across from us.

Jen's POV

I listen to "One Call Away" again, this time knowing that it's true. Because I now have Pat. Now, my life is complete.

*Timeskip To School*

We get up off the bus, and I'm very nervous. Everyone here looks so nice, as opposed to my old school where everyone hated me. We stop at the principal's office first.

"Hi Mr. Lang," Dan says to the principal, "this is my friend Pat, and that's his girlfriend Jen." I shake his hand.

"Nice to meet you two!" he says to us,

"Dan and Jemma can show you two around. You can be in their classes." I smile.

"Thank you," Pat says to him, and we walk out.

"Let's get to English!" Jem exclaims, and we slowly walk to class. The teacher greets us.

"Hi Dan, Jemma, who's this?"

"This is Pat," Dan says, "and this is Jen. They're new here."

"Ok," the teacher smiles, "I'm Miss Lee. Feel free to sit where you like." We take our seats, and she begins the lesson.

*Timeskip To Before Lunch*

I really like the new school. It's way better than my old one. I walk to my locker, which is pretty far away from Pat's. All of a sudden, I'm shoved into the locker.

"Have fun, loser!" The voice is familiar to me, but I don't quite know who it is. The door closes, and I'm stuck. I look out the grate. The person has long, wavy red hair and freckles. Frannie. What's she doing here!? Pat walks by, and I bang on the locker door. He stares at it, and Frannie grabs his shirt. They kiss. I am shocked! I. Can't. Breathe. I. Can't. Take. It. He just kissed her!!! Frannie runs away, and I'm in tears. Pat opens the door.

"Jen?" He asks, and I run to the cafeteria, tears rolling down my cheeks.
