Cold Case 4.1 (My version)

Your beautiful

Jessie-------

I watched as Cam seemed to tense up "What are you doing here?"

Dayton looked over to me "Jessie, please I didnt know about Zach."

Cameron shoved him backward "Where the hell were you?! If you guys are such good friends why didn't you step up and say something?!"

Dayton listened to Cameron's words "I wanted to..."

Neil took my hand and I was led into the car.

Cam went to the passengers side as Neil stopped infront of Dayton "You wanna protect her then leave her alone, we have always been there for our girl. We don't need your help or your damn Charity"

I looked at Dayton "It's not your fault okay, please just back off though I need some time to figure things out."

His eyes cast on the street "Alright"

Cam drove off and Neil touched my arm "Jess look at your arms"

I looked down to discover they had already begun to bruise.

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

The next morning I woke up to find Neil laying on the sofa across from his bed, his eyes were closed as his breathing was slow and paced.

I looked around, yep this was his room. Pictures of punk bands on the walls, clothing scattered around the floor, his computer had papers from homework that he probably didn't even turn in spilled onto the chair by the desk. His room was a dark navy color and smelled like cologne.

I looked around for Cameron but he was no where to be found.

I got up pulling the comforter with me as I laid beside Neil. He groaned before draping his arm around my shoulder. I moved closer to him to feel safer before I fell asleep again in his arms.

I woke up as I felt Neil shift "Hey" He mumbled

I gave a tired smile "Hey"

His eyes opened revealing a electric blue colour staring at me "You alright?"

I nodded "Is it bad that I wanted him to?"

Neil looked at me "Jessie...."

I shook my head "It's just that---Neil he almost-" I began to sob into his chest as he began to stroke my hair gently.

After my eyes burned from crying so much I got up and walked to the bathroom, turning on the shower I pulled off my shirt and pants leaving me in my underwear and bra. I looked in the mirror, as a knock came on the door.

"Come in" I said

The door opened and Neil immediatly turned around "Jessie what are you doing?!"

I shrugged even thought he couldn't see "It's okay you can look......" I turned around to see him looking at the floor "Neil?"

Neil slowly turned around "Jesus......."

I looked down to see bruises on my left thigh, arms and could feel the hickeys on my neck. "He didn't though.....Cam stopped him."

Neil nodded walking out of the door "You should get cleaned up though"

I nodded "I'm sorry that I made you look Neil, I just wanted to make sure it was real......I can feel that it's real......... I just don't want to think I'm crazy"

He paused "Your not crazy Jessie, your beautiful."
