Second Chances

Chapter 17

*JENNA'S P.O.V*

George invited me to go round to his house for the evening, he said his family were going out for a meal.

I still hasn't got a clue to why those boys had approached me in town earlier, I mean, I know about Ben and them lot.. But I don't think they'd go after me..I haven't done anything?

I turned the radio up louder, trying to focus on my makeup and block out my stupid worries.

I had on some black jeans and white jumper with my long gold necklace. I know we're only staying at his house, but I'm still not used to this. I still need to make an effort around him.

Checking the time to see it was 4:45, I quickly gave my hair a brush, deciding to leave it down, before grabbing my phone and running downstairs.

"Mum, I'm going to George's!" I smiled, slipping on my black air max.

She turned around from the oven, frowning. "What about your tea?"

I laughed, walking over and wrapping my arms around her. "Don't worry, I'm eating at George's"

She smiled, patting my back, "Well, you two have fun.. Not too much." Her smile faded into a glare as she pointed at me.

I felt my cheeks flush red as I rolled my eyes, "Shut up"

She laughed, turning back to her cooking, "Bye!!"

I stuck out my tongue behind her back before walking out the door.

I forgot how cold it was, feeling the cold air biting and nipping at my skin made my feet move faster, crossing my arms and making my way round to George's.

Is it weird that this all still feels surreal? That he is dating me? I have already asked him why, and he seemed set with it, sure.. But I still don't feel good enough.

But, I'm not one to get rid of luck.

I smiled slightly, knocking on the door before blowing some warm breath into my hands.

After waiting a few minutes, he finally opened the door. I smiled up at him, and he gave me a glowing grin back.

"Come in! It's freezing!" He laughed, grabbing my wrist and pulling me inside.

"Why did you invite me over anyway?" I laughed, walking into the living room and sitting on the edge of the sofa.

He followed me, sitting comfortably beside me and pulling me back so my back rest against the back of the sofa, his arm draped over me.

"Do I need a reason to want to see my girlfriend?" He smiled, playing with my fingers with his other hand and looking at me.

I smiled, nodding and looking back up at him, "Got it, sorry.. I'm still not used to us"

His face turned into a frown, raising an eyebrow, "Why?"

"I'm just not," I smiled and sighed, looking up at him.

He laughed, rolling his eyes, "You need to, cause I'm not planning on letting you go anytime soon.."

Before I had chance to reply, he moved his arm and put both his hands on my waist before pinning me onto the sofa, tickling me.

"N-No George!!!" I laughed, taking deep breath between words whilst trying to claw his hands away. But, of course, my strength was no match for his.

He stopped, his throat holding his remaining laughter in as he looked into my eyes.

As he did so, my heart stopped, even only for a second. He was just so perfect. Inside and out.

"Jenna?"

"Yeah?"

"Tell me what you know about me"

I burrowed my eyebrows, pushing on his chest and sitting up, crossing my legs.

"Well.. I know that you're gorgeous, you're such a nice person.. But most of all, you're misunderstood."

He sighed, rubbing his face, "I'm not a nice person.. I've done stuff.."

My throat clenched, the burning desire to ask the question of what he did.. But do I really want to know? Do I really want to change my view of him?

"A year ago, during Christmas break, I.. I scammed, I fought, I.. I hospitalised somebody." He frowned, biting his lip.

"What happened? How?" I shook my head, I mean I know he's been in a fair number of fights but not that?

"It was with Ben.. He wanted some stuff-"

"drugs?" I interrupted, watching his every feature.

"Yeah, that. Me, Josh, JJ, Jaymi, Aaron and Toby all sold it, but we'd ran out so we replaced it with flour.. Just that once. But it was the worst mistake we've made. He knew, straight away, and his whole group of mates heard of it, all coming after us. They came to the warehouse, all wanting a fight but we weren't having it, until he mentioned my family. People saying any shit about people I love blows my fuse. I.. I pretty much knocked him unconscious, broke his arm and ankle. That's why he's gathered all his gang together, everyone that may have had some shit with me or the boys, and are coming." He explained, only turning to me as he finished.

I instantly looked down to my lap, sighing and shaking my head, "George.. It's in the past I guess, but please tell me you aren't still dealing drugs?"

He gulped, shaking his head, "No, I stopped.."

"You're lying."

"How could you tell?" He gasped, raising his eyebrow.

"I just.. Can.. Now promise me you'll stop, before something bad happens?" I moved over to him, holding his hand.

"Jen, its too late for that" He sighed, his eyes drifting from our hands to my eyes.

"What do you mean?" I gulped, feeling the seriousness.

"Like I said, they're all coming.. And we need to leave"

I moved back, widening my eyes, "We?"

"They know about you, they want you, baby.." He stuttered, moving over to me.

"B-but I..-"

His lips smashed onto mine, taking all the worry away with just his touch. Butterflies flew over the worry and doubts in my stomach..

Maybe running away with him wouldn't be too bad.
