My Bad Boy Neighbor [Completed]✔

Chapter 23

Feeling EXTREMELY insulted, I hand Elaina to the man and walk home with Jake yelling my name. I wasn't crying, I was angry. I just watched his daughter for him and he has the audacity to call me such horrible names. When that is NOT the reason I watched Elaina tonight. I slam the front door shut and stomp to the kitchen, I still need to finish that essay.

I finish the essay and head up stairs. I'm exhausted, all I want to do is sleep forever.

There is a tapping sound coming from my window making jump. I open the curtains with caution, but when I see that it's Jake, I open the window and he crawls through.

I go and lay down on my bed and motion for Jake to do the same. He comes and lays down on his back, staring at the ceiling, I do the same.

"I'm sorry," Jake says annoyed. Clearly, they're some issues going on at home.

"It's okay," I say calmly.

"Did he say anything to you," Jake asks turning his head to look at me.

"It's not important," I sigh

"Yes, it is," He started turning his whole body to face me.

"He always does this, he always freaking does this," He says running a hand through his hair.

"Do you want to tell me what he always does," I ask concerned. He sighs and maneuvers his body to face the ceiling.

"When I was 13 my mom and dad got a divorce, my mom got full custody, but when I turned 17 he wanted to be back in our lives. My mom agreed to it. Right from when I opened the door to let him in, to when I slammed the door in his face, he judged me. He would ask me questions about what I want to do in life; He would always make some kind of remark about my choices. Ya see he's a lawyer and he thinks everybody should be as smart, or as perfect as him and when people are not, he judges them. I really don't like it when he comes to visit, because then I can't get away from all the judgement. In the mornings when I go down for breakfast, I can feel the disapproving looks he gives me. I've been so distant lately because, he is always saying something that is offensive to me. Today when I got home from school, he checked my grades and wasn't  very happy with them. We got into this huge argument about how I want to live my life, but he thinks I'm going nowhere with my life and that I'm worthless. So I grabbed Elaina and took her to you. I needed to get away from him. You were the only person I thought of at the moment, so that's why I need to know if he said anything to you?"

I take a minute to soak all of that information in before I answer.

"I already told you, nothing happened, and Jake," I say. He turns his head to me.

"Whenever you want to get away you can always come here," I tell him softly. He nods and turns back to the ceiling.

"Can I stay the night?" Jake asks.

"Of course," I sigh.
I turn around to face the wall, cuddling up with the blankets. Jake turns the same way as me, putting his arm around my waist. That's when I realized

I'm falling for Jake.

"Aaaaaahhhhhhhh!!"
I jump up, my eyes shooting open.

"Mom, what's wrong," I ask concerned. She points to my bedroom. I turn my head to my bedroom, where Jake is still sleeping. I suck air between my teeth and turn back to mother. Her eyebrows are raised, her eyes are filled with disbelief, and her mouth is hanging open.

"Mom, we didn't do anything," I say, my lips threatening do smile . It's amusing how she would think that we would to something.

"Then why are you in bed together?" She screeches. I put my finger to my lips, silencing her. I scoot off the bed, lightly grabbing her arm, to lead her out of my room. I lead her down the hallway.

"Ok Sophia Rose, you better explain this to me right now.

"Mom, I swear we didn't do anything. He was having trouble with his dad, and he told me that his dad always judges him and tries to run his life whenever he comes to visit. He said he just wanted to get away, so I let him spend the night, but we didn't do anything except sleep and talk." I explain.

"Ok, come here," She says pulling me into a hug. We let go of each other and I turn to go back to bed. I walk into my room, Jake is still sound asleep. I climb into the bed, laying my head onto the pillow.

OK this is a really really short chapter, I'm so freaking sorry. Next week's chapter will be longer. I promise.
