TORN//Derek Luh

Chapter 4

I drive to a friends house.

"Nivea what are you doing here?" Jack asks. 

"I need you right now. Just don't tell Skate and Derek where I am okay?" I beg. 

"Nivea they are probably worried." 

"Jack please. I'm begging you. I need you and JJ. Nobody else please." 

He sighs giving in. "Okay. Come in we'll talk."

I step inside and sit at the kitchen bar. 

"What's wrong Vea? Why are you crying?" JJ asks. 

"Colby cheated on me. I was at the boardwalk with LeLe, Derek, Skate and Ana. We were walking to the Ferris Wheel and I saw him making out with another girl. They were too busy sucking face they didn't even noticed I left." I cry into his chest. 

"It's okay. You can stay here tonight." Gilinsky says. 

"This will be the first place they look when they notice I'm gone." I say.

"Gilinsky can drive over to your house in your car and get an Uber to bring him back." JJ suggests. 

"Okay." I croak. So Jack takes my car to my house then is home pretty quickly.

"They saw me at the house with your car Nivea. They don't know you're here though. I just said that you let me borrow yours so I didn't have to take an Uber." Jack says. I nod.

As if in on cue Derek's name pops up.

"Derek's trying to Facetime me." 

"Answer it and tell him you're okay so that they don't worry or come looking for you." JJ suggests. 

I nod and answer. "Babygirl, you're okay. Where are you? Why did Jack have your car? Come home."

"Derek, I need to get away for a couple days. You guys do your thing with the girls. I'm okay I promise baby boy. I just need to rethink the relationship thing. Jack had my car because he was borrowing it. He didn't want to use an Uber all day. I was cool with it. I'm somewhere safe. Just don't come looking for me okay. I love you guys." I say hanging up. 

I turn my location off quickly so they can't track my phone. 

The thing about Derek and Skate is that if I don't tell them where I am they will track me down., They are very protective over me. If they really put their minds to it they will find me.

"I need sleep." I say walking to JJ's bedroom. I crawl in his bed and crash for the night. 

-2 weeks later-

I broke up with Colby for good, but haven't talked to Skate and Derek. I haven't told them anything because I don't want to yet. 

I'm just not ready. I have been staying with the Jack's but they don't know that. I tell the boys I'm safe but other than that I don't talk to them right now. 

"Vea you need to go home and tell the boys. They haven't seen you for 2 weeks. They are blowing up our phones, they don't know you're here and all but you have to tell them about Colby one way or another." JJ says. 

"I'm scared. They won't hurt me but they'll hurt Colby. Sammy will hurt him, and so will Taylor. You know that. I don't want them to hurt Colby." I say. 

"Honey, you shouldn't be defending Colby like that. He hurt you, yet you're still defending him." 

"I loved him JJ. We talked for over a year. I fell in love with him." I cry. He pulls me close. 

"Go home and talk to them. Tell them why you haven't been home. They'll understand. They are just worried about you sweetie." 

"Fine." I say getting dressed. 

To BigBoy Skate- You home love?

BigBoy Skate-Yes. lil mama. You gonna come home anytime soon?

To BigBoy Skate- Dunno yet big boy. I love you!! 

From BigBoy Skate-I love you too lil mama. Got exciting news for you though. 

To BigBoy Skate- Sweet. Talk later.

I decide to take an Uber home after saying bye to the Jacks. 

When I get home LeLe's car is here. 

To BabyJ-Their girls here. I mean we're friends and all but JJ I can't do this.

BabyJ-Yes you can. You better do it. If you don't I will come there and drag you into the house.

I sigh knowing that JJ will do that too. I get out of the car and walk to the door. I take a deep breath then go inside. 

"Who the fuck is here?" Derek asks. I laugh. 

"Baby boy! Big Boy! I'm home!" I holler. I hear what sounds like a stampede of people running to the door. I'm scooped up in Derek's arms first. 

He puts me down then Skate hugs me tightly. I hug Sammy, and Taylor next. 

"Finally. Now miss thing you have lots of explaining to do." Skate says. I chuckle. 

"After I shower and make dinner okay."

"Alright."
