The Freak

Back at Home

Rose's POV

   When I woke up it was 4:38. I was laying on the couch and and Jack was next to me. I screamed.
"Woah, it okay Rose it's Jack."
What is he doing at my house? He should be at home taking care of his mom. We stopped being friends a long time ago
"Just go back to-"
"I'm hungry"I said
"Um...okay. Let's go get some food down the street"
   I followed him. We used to be best friends, like siblings almost. He changed over the years. He's gotten...cuter almost. But he's Natalie's. I'm not allowed to be near him, let alone like him.
   He helped me put in my shoes. My chucks were ruined so I put on my S8R Vans. That's  when we left.
   We walked to McDonald's to grab some ice cream. On our way Jack started talking to me in a weird voice. It was calm but I could sense worry in his voice too.
"You know, I don't think your supposed to be out here in the middle of the night, especially with a broken back, right?"
   I nodded. "So...do you want to update me about anything in your life?" I said.
"Well..." he hesitated,"yeah, I want to tell you a thing or two. Actually I've been wanting to tell you for a long time now but haven't had chance with Natalie and stuff..."
   Then he told me, and did something I never thought he would ever do. I knew that this was too good to be true.

Jack's POV

I need to tell her how I feel about her. It's now or never Jack, now or never
"Listen, I like you. And I've liked you for a long time." She looked down. I know how Natalie's been treating you. I'm sorry I know I should've protected you but I couldn't. She threatens to kill me if I say anything and to be honest I'm scared of her."
   She started crying. I hated to see her like this. I still need to tell her something but this'll only make her cry more.
I'm sorry to make you cry, but as my best friend, you have to know.
"On the first day of school, when I went to give you a hug, she asked me to come with her," I could tell that she was really listening. I was glad. This showed that she really cared about me just as much as I cared about her. "We were already dating for a week. She asked me 'You know we're dating, right?' I said yeah and she was like 'good'.
You know what she did next, Rose?" She looked up at me but I didn't want her to. I started tearing up. That's how scared I was,"She pushed me against the wall and held a knife up to my throat. I was so scared. She told me to never talk to you again or else she'd kill me"
"I'm glad your alive. That girl is crazy. She's threatened to kill me too. She only tried once."
What?!? She tried to kill her? How? I'm not going to ask though, so I'll have to find out another way
  I went for it. I brought her close to me and brought her into a kiss. She was a good kisser. I felt so bad that Natalie tried to kill her. She's lucky I'm a dude because if I was I chick, I would've fucked her up. I am so mad at her. I can't even think straight now because of how mad I am.
   I'm pretty sure she was still hungry so we started walking again and head for McDonald's. It was about a block away.
"Come on, lets go get you your ice cream." I took her hand and we started going to McDonald's. I hope we can have a long relationship. Honestly, I want to marry this girl. I can't wait but I have to wait to four more years to turn 18 and marry her.
