Chapter 6
Drew’s POV
Me: hey can you give me a ride to your house my car broke down in the parking lot?
Jessie: yea sure I’ll wait for you in front of the school.
I shortened her name to Jessie in my phone because it sounds better. As I walked outside I bumped into Maria and Ciara. I talked to her today when Maria introduced her. She seems really nice. I feel like they are going to be really good friends. I walked outside and saw Jessica. She was leaning against the hood of her car waiting for me, how nice. She had a really good car, it beat my truck. She turned around I was right in front of her. She flinched I don’t know why it’s not like I would ever hurt her.
Jessica’s POV
I didn’t notice he was too close to me. I backed up because of my really bad reflexes. My mom always slaps me so I back up just in case. I push him towards the passenger’s seat. Wow he’s built. I can feel a six pack and strong arms. How come I never seen him before. Probably it’s because he’s so shy. I wonder why, I mean he has the looks to fool people and the smarts to protect his self. Maybe it’s just me who thinks like that.
Drew’s POV
The ride to her house was quiet, mainly because I was in my own thoughts. Well when she drove up to this huge house my jaw almost came off. It was amazing, I wouldn’t mind living here. She sighed once we stopped. She probably didn’t want to work with me. I just hope she’s not a bossy bitch.
Jessica’s POV
I sighed as we approached my drive way. I hate coming here it sucked. My mom was home which means she’s going to call me a slut for having a boy over. I don’t know why she is so mean to me. I can just scream to the fullest right now but I have a guest and don’t want to scare him. As I opened the front door guess whose sitting right there in front of me, my mother.
“Hey bitch” is the first thing she says
“Hey” I whisper under my breath right after she leaves. I hate her.
“It’s okay” drew says next to my ear. It tickled so I giggled a little. I replied with thx and we went upstairs. When I walked in my room it was a mess. I was embarrassed, but it wasn’t that bad and I didn’t mind because I knew who did it. My little sister Emily was sleeping on my bed. I moved everything from my floor and sat down with my laptop. I motioned for drew to sit next to me when I noticed he was still next to the door frame. “Why haven’t I noticed you before?” I asked. “Because I I I don’t know” he stuttered. It’s okay I told him. I looked at him he was too close, but is it bad that I liked it. He looked into my eyes only for a fraction of a minute and then I turned away.
"What’s wrong?” I asked him.
“Nothing” he said. I was curious so I asked
"hey want to play a game?"
He nodded.
"How about 20 questions?"
“Umm sure” was his replied?
"Okay great wait let me take my sister to bed." I got up a pushed my sister. “Emily come on you need to get to bed,”
“But it is only 5:00”
“Well is that the reason you were knocked out on my bed.”
"No I just kinda fainted because I was hungry....." "and mom hit me today for the first time so I cried my self to sleep sorry for messing up your bed and room"
"Omg no it is okay babe im sooo sorry of mom hitting you, it is all my fault because I wasn't here to protect you." I couldn't continue with my words because I broke down right then and there. I promised myself I won't let anyone ever hit my sister, the one who only care about me the one who loves me, I Failed!
"Im sorry" was all I was repeating.
I felt a strong hand on my back rubbing little circles. I turned around and it was Drew. Hes to sweet and nice. That actually gave me some relief. I looked back at my sister and gave her a long warm hug and told her I love her and that no one will ever hurt her again. I got up and walked to my mini fridge. I grabed two foot longs from subway and handed one to Drew and splited the other with my sister. she smiled and then focused her attention on Drew.
"Hey who are you her boyfriend or something" Emily said.
"No im her partner Drew and you must be Emily" he said extending his arm. She shooked it and I noticed all the tattoos up his arm. I usually didn't like guys with them but this made him even hotter. Whoa I need to calm down.
"Jessie can I stay in your room" Emily asked
"Why?" I asked
"Because im scared moms gonna find me and..."
"No No calm down she wont you can stay with me hun" I said rubbing her back
"Umm should we do this project another day or..." Drew said
"Umm no we can still stay and work on" I replied
I pulled out the large poster and my sister practically screamed "CAN I HELP PLZZ!!" "Sure just lower your voice." Drew answers and I just giggle.
As soon as I put the poster down I here my mom scream "Hey stupid slut get down here I need to talk to you" I immediately looked at Drew who was suprised. "Sorry" I said to Drew and he just gave me a small smile which I retured back.
"What" I said trying not to sound sassy.
"Tell me why your sister talked back to me when I told her to make food." was what she said.
"Exactly what did she say" was my respond.
"Emily said no im not gonna do it mostly because I dont kno how and thats suppose to be your job as a mom."
I smiled at the thought of my little sister saying that. "Well she isnt lying" I said like the smart mouth I am. My cheek was burning in the two seconds I looked away. She smaked me.
"Wtf was that for" I shouted
"For being a smart ass like your sister, she got smaked as well that will teach you to never talk back to me you worthless bitch."
"Watch her get beat and turn into the same slut as you" she continued
"You can never touch her ever again and she is not gonna be a slut shes gonna be a hard working, smart, beautiful heart warming young woman do you fukin hear me. She is never gonna turn out to be like you! A disgusting looking dirty ass fake of a bitch mother. I hate you with all my heart you already ruined my life dont do the same to her I wont let you!" I screamed there was tears in my eyes and my so called mom had a smirk on her face I turned around to leave when I saw Drew, Emily and my dad at the corner of the kitchen.
"What is going on here?" my dad asked
"Nothin I was just telling Jessica how im her mother and ill do whatever I want with my kids" my mother replied
"Im gonna turn 18 soon and will be an adult. Ill take my sister with me and theres nothing you can do about it" I said
"And how will the judge allow you to take her." my mom said
"All I have to tell them is how abusive you are and how neglectful dad is. If you cant take care yourself why do you think you can take care of a child?" with that I walked with Emily And Drew by my side.
