Chapter 15: Torturing The Ice

"All I asked for was a double cream and caramel latte! How hard is that to make!"
Natalie yelled at the worker of the cafe.
"Alright someone's abit cranky this morning."
Jake laughed when Natalie sighed.
"So whatever she ordered and I'll have a iced coffee with the ice on the side...on her tab."
He pointed at Natalie and smiled. They waited for there drinks and sat at a table.
"Why didn't you just order a regular iced coffee?"
"I like torturing the ice."
"You're werid."
"I know... Anyway, why so pissed?"
"Noah's dad's coming home from Boston today remember..."
"And?"
"We hate eachother! We have nothing in common and he isn't my dad...he never will be."
She tapped her coffee, Jake slowly grabs her hand and holds it. A female voice filled the cafe.
"WHAT DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND!"
They both looked to see Brooke spilling her coffee. She turned around and saw Natalie and Jakes hands connecting. She frowned and looked at the cafe door that opened. Tom walked through the doors and walked up to the counter. Natalie looked at him, questioning why he was here. He turned and saw the hand holding. Natalie pulled away and grabbed her coffee.
"I'll see you later."
"But we were gon-"
Natalie ran before Jake could finish his sentence.
"Gonna talk..."
He frowned alittle and Brooke sat down infront of Jake. Tom ran after Natalie as she left the cafe.
"Nat!"
She didn't say anything.
"Nat, Stop walking away!"
Tom grabbed her by the arm and yanked her away from the path.
"Ouch. What the hell."
Tom didn't let go.
"You can't be like this. I didn't do shit to you. You are mine and you will stay mine you understand! Don't ignore me again!"
Tom started the grab her arm harder. Tears ran down her face and someone yanked Tom back wards. Natalie held her arm and saw it was Will, who pushed him into a tree.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing?"
"None of your business."
"Your making her cry, it's now my business.
"Whatever. Remember I'll pick you up tomorrow."
He pointed at Natalie and walked away. Natalie was sitting on the ground, tears falling from her eyes.
Will leaned down in front of her and gently grabbed her arm. She flinched but eventually gave him the permission to touch her. He pulled up her sleeve and she cried in pain. From the looks of the marks, Tom had injected his nails into her arm. He also made a bruise around it.
"Come on."
Will gently lifted her, not touching her arm. They walked to Wills car and drove to his farm house, where he sat her on his couch and got the first aid kit. They sat beside eachother and Will cleaned her arm.
"I thought you two were over?"
"I said we were over. Him...No. We're still together and he isn't the Tom I first dated. I don't know what's happened to him."
"He's jealous and wants you all to himself."
Natalie looked at him with confusion.
"He sees you with Jake alot. With all your new friends."
"Your right...god I'm so stupid."
"No your not. Everyone dosent see it...well someone's who's stupid might not"
Natalie punched him in the arm with her good arm. He laughed and wrapped Natalies injured arm.
"Thank you Will."
"Hey, what's friends for...I know before you say anything, yes I'm a jackass but I am your friend. I'm here for you."
Natalie smiled and hugged Will. She saw the clock on the table and jolted upwards.
"Shit! Noah's dad's coming home in 20 minutes. Can you get me home in 10?"
"Lets go!"
He grabbed his keys and they ran out and drove to the foster house.
