Chapter Eighteen

"I know you going with Ryan is bullshit" Jordan said

"No, Will asked me." I said

"What? That fucking nerd?" He said raising his voice

"Jordan calm down" I said

"No, I knew you for almost a year and when I ask you, you say no? And you knew him for a week and when he asked you, you say yes? How does that work?" He said

"Let's just not talk about this anymore" I said trying to calm him down

"No, how can you do that to me?" He yelled

"Stop making a big deal about this! Just ask one of your 100 girlfriends to prom" I said

"I don't have fucking 100 girlfriends. I don't even have one" He defended

"Oh yeah I forgot, they're just a fit and run" I rolled my eyes

"What? What are you saying?" He yelled. I look in his eyes and they were dark, almost black. He grabbed a hold of my wrist

"Don't touch me" I said

"Tell me what you're saying then" He raised his voice

"I'm saying you're a fuck boy!! Okay?!" I yelled but instantly regretted. I tried to pull my arm away but it was impossible because he had a firm grip. He raised his arm up in the air and hit my cheek. I stumble back while holding my cheek. I look up to him trying to hold my tears in, and he look concerned

"Oh god, Liz I'm so sorry" He said softly while getting closer and I step back "You don't need to be scared" He said holding my cheek.

"Don't fucking touch me" I yelled pushing him back

"No, Liz I'm sorry. I-"

"You have problems" I whispered. I looked at him and tears was rolling down his cheeks. The rain turned into violent thunder and lightning. I look down and goosebumps was covering my skin.

"Liz-" Jordan began

"Don't you ever talk to me" I said running back to my house. I looked back at Jordan and he was looking at the ground, ashamed.

When I got to my house I was soaking wet. My cheek was still in pain and I was shivering because I didn't bring a jacket. I headed upstairs and got something dry and went into the bathroom. I was a mess, my hair was tangled and wet, I had mascara dribbling down my face, and giant bruise was on my right cheek. It was worse then before believe or not. I have no idea how I'm going to hide this tomorrow, or from my mom.

I took a hot shower and got dressed into dryer and more comfortable clothes. I walked to my room and laid on my bed. I wasn't even tired, even though it was almost 3am. Jordan and I was talking for longer than I thought. I sighed, I don't even want to think about him.

Today was a long day, I don't want to face Jordan tomorrow. I don't want to see the reaction from Bee or my mom or anyone when they see my bruise. I don't want to explain what happened. I wish I can just stay here and avoid everyone... I laid there for what seemed like hours until I eventually gotten tired and fell asleep.
