Mother Forbids (an emo love story) [ON HOLD]

Chapter 9.

Surprise surprise ;P

Jesse's P.O.V

--------------------------

I felt so bad mentioning the car when Claire was in this bad of shape. I rubbed her back soothingly loving the way she fit in my arms. Wait..what?

"Hey, Claire?" I asked. 

"Hmm?"

"Do you want to take a shower? I can borrow you some sweatpants and sweatshirt while throwing your clothes in the dryer if you'd like."

"Yeah, sure. I'd like that," Claire quietly replied. 

Then she looked up and smiled, actually smiled. I found myself staring and felt a slight sting on my cheek. Claire just slapped me..

"Jesseeeeee." 

"Huh? Oh, yeah, sorry. You were saying?"

Claire looked down and laughed a little. "I said sorry for getting you all wet."

"Oh," I shrugged, "it's cool. Ohhh, stay here." 

I ran upstairs quickly and changed into a pair of sweatpants and pulled my shirt over my head, throwing it on the floor. Then I grabbed some sweatpants and a sweatshirt that would be for Claire to change into. I walked down the steps and saw Claire sitting on the couch. 

"Hey. I brought you some clothes."

Claire stood up and walked over to me, smiling. 

"Thank you."

She then proceeded to slip the clothing out of my grip and kissed my cheek, walking away to the bathroom. I heard the shower turn on and I touched my cheek where it was still warm and tingling. 

Did she just....

Claire's P.O.V.

----------------------

Did I just....

Oh my gosh.

I shook my head. I can't believe I actually kissed Jesse. Well, it was on the cheek but still, I kissed Jesse. I turned on the shower and stripped out of my soaking wet clothes and put them by the door. I stepped into the shower and let the water run over my skin as I closed my eyes. 

I grabbed some of what I assumed was Jesse's axe and washed my hair and body. Stepping out of the shower, I slid the towel off of the counter top and wrapped it around my body. Drying off, I slid the sweatpants up my legs and the sweatshirt over my head. I looked in the mirror for the first time in a while. 

Is this how everyone saw me? 

My face was pale and my usually bright green eyes were dull and lifeless. My lips were chapped and in one spot you could tell that my bottom lip was bleeding. My cheekbones were threatening to poke through my skin. The sweatshirt and sweatpants covered my small, fragile frame. I don't know when the last time I ate a proper meal. 

I opened a drawer looking for a toothbrush and found razors instead. One of the blades had blood on them and my eyes widened. I quickly shut the drawer and walked out of the bathroom to find Jesse laying on the couch texting someone. 

I looked down, trying to forget ever opening the drawer and finding the razors. I know he had scars on his wrists when I first met him but I never thought he actually would do it. Maybe it was a misunderstanding for the blood on the razor. Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions. Deep inside I knew that I was right.. 

"Hey." Jesse looked up from his phone and smiled at me. 

"Hi." 

The smile quickly faded from his face when he realized I wasn't smiling back. 

"Hey..." he asked softly, "are you okay?"

"Yeah..I'm fine."

"Are you su-"

"Yes. God, Jesse. Since when do you care so much? My brother died six months ago and my dad blamed it on me and then he started beating me and my mom. Do you think I can't fucking handle it??"

"Bu-"

I cut him off again, "I'm not done. I have to deal with Emily and her bitches every single day and go home to my abusive father. Then I meet you, and the day after when we're working on our project, I fucking have sex with you. So I was avoiding you and then I broke up with my dickhead of a boyfriend, Zale. So then I was avoiding two people and my dad kicked me out. I was living with Alison and her mom for a while but her mom wouldn't let me stay there anymore. I came to you thinking it was okay and completely forgetting ever having sex with you. I fucking walked here in the fucking rain and you mention my dead older brother making me hate you even more even though I know it's really not your fault because you didn't know. Then you start being nice to me and I fucking kiss you. So I take a shower and forget about it, but when I look in the mirror I'm not the same fucking person I was six months ago and I realize most of that has to do with you. I decided that I was going to brush my teeth and I opened a drawer hoping to find toothbrushes and I find razors with blood on them! You messed up my whole fucking life and YOU have issues???" 

I was interupted out of my rant when Jesse pressed his lips against mine.
