WE CAN WORK ON IT

Back To School

Chapter 13

Jessica's POV

"Wake up everyone, wake up!" Drew screamed into our ears.

"Huh, what did you that for goshh" Emily stood up.

"How did you sleep babe?" Drew came on top of me once Emily went to the bathroom to get dressed.

"Good you?" I asked giving him a peck.

"Amazing" he said shaking his hair out of his face.

I got up and picked out my out fit for the day. A pink maxi dress with a black cardigan. Black vans to top it off. I walked to the bathroom and Drew was right behind me.

"Okay go we both need to get dressed" I said pushing him out the door.

"I love you" he said holding the door open.

"I love you too" I said with a smile creeping up to my lips

We were all dressed, hair did, and ate by 7:00.  Emily didn't start school till 8:00 but that's how it's going to be for a while til we get everything straight. Our schools were not that far away anyways.

*20 mins later

"Ciaraaaaaaaaa" I screamed through the halls as my best friend ran towards me.

"Jessssssssssssss" She tried screaming louder than me. We hugged and laughed then thats when we saw Maria crying. She was walking to her locker.

"Maria what's wrong?" I asked for me and Ciara.

"Nothing, hi guys" she said in between sobs.

"Obviously something is wrong" Ciara said taking Maria by the arm and pushing her into the girls bathroom. I followed along, it looked like she haven't slept in days.

"Okay tell us what's wrong" I said bluntly. She took her shirt off and that's not the only thing that suprised me. The scars and bruises she had on her back. We gave her a sympathetic look and she broke down. Right infront of us. I always see her happy but this is nothing like her. I pulled her into a huge hug and didn't let go. Ciara joined.

"Who did this?!" I asked raising my voice with tears of my own.

"I can't say he will hurt me even more" she said almost not breathing at all. I walked out knowing exactly who it was. Chase. I saw Drew in the hall while I was still wiping the tears.

"Babe whats wrong" he asked grabbing my hand.

"Maria is fucking getting hurt by an dick and now I'm gonna beat his ass" I said not caring what the other thought.

"Wait what do you mean someone is hu" I didn't even let him finish I stormed off the minute I caught a blink of his face.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS YOU PROBLEM!" I screamed.

"Umm do I know you?" is his smart mouth answer.

"You know exactly what the fuck I'm talking about you dumb pussy thinking its okay to hit a girl" a tear left my eye.

"That's non of your business" I slaped him straight on the cheek with no hesitation. I was pushed by some one huge. And of course its Drew. He threw Chase on the ground and started to punch him over and over again. I can see Chase really wanted to cry but he didn't. All I see in Drew's eyes were red.

"Drew stop please" I said once I saw blood on the floor. Three teachers came running and pulled them apart.

I walked over to a shaking Maria.

"I never knew he was that violent" she whispered

"He was just protecting you" I said giving her a hug

"And I thank him, he's like a big brother to me" she said smiling.

"Good because he cares about you so much that he fought for you and might lose that scholarship he got" I said remembering that he got accepted to Princeton.

"Wait all because of me oh my god" she said freaking out.

"No no calm down" I regret that sliping out my mouth. We headed down to the office.

"Oh Maria the principle wants to see you" the lady in the front said.

"Umm Jess you can go back to class" she hands me a pass.

"Okay be safe" I told maria giving her one last hug before I left. I saw Ciara in the hall. Talking to someone. OMG IT'S MY MOM WITH EMILY!

"Get off her" I pulled apart my "mother's" hands off Emily.

"Listen to and listen to me good, your not my mom your not her mom" I said pointing to Emily "So leave us alone"

"But hunny ur still under my name" my mom say when I tell Emily to go with Ciara to the car.

"Yea but my birthday is Feb 1 and then you won't have me and ill take Emily with me" I said before walking off.

"Hey" my mom shouted out to me. I turned around

"What"

"You better watch your back bitch I dont know who you think your talking to I can still beat your ass your my child"   my mom says with a straight face. The people around her make faces and she just smiles.

What a mom.

What a life.
