Fighting for Love (COMPLETED)(EDITED)

Chapter 31

Scott's P.O.V.
Bree walked away from me and into Jake's house. Honestly, I felt free. Maybe I did love Bree, but I felt held down. I was young. I've never really devoted myself to one girl. Maybe that's why I did what I did. I never wanted to hurt Bree. I regret doing it, yeah, but maybe it's for the better? I wish things didn't turn out the way they did. I know I've done a lot for Bree and she's done a lot for me, but maybe she's better with someone else. I'm not ready to devote myself to one girl. I walk back inside and pray to god that I didn't hurt Bree to much. She's strong. I've taught her to be strong by fighting. She can take care of herself. I'll always be here for her......

Jake's P.O.V.
I can't believe Scott's done that to Bree. She deserves much better. Maybe I could have that chance. I look down at my chest and smile when I see her. She was finally asleep, peacefully. I get to thinking. Adam's hurt her, probably worse than any guys has ever hurt her. In more ways than even humanely possible. Bree didn't deserve that. Scott treated her like he loved her, like she was his only one, but he emotionally hurt her. Bree didn't deserve that either. It's about time she gets what she deserves. I know I've messed up in my past but she looked past that and maybe she would give me another chance? I brush her hair behind her ear and kiss her forehead. She snuggles in closer to my chest and I tighten my hold on her. I never wanted to let go. Next thing I know, I'm off to sleep too.

Bree's P.O.V.
I wake up in Jake's arms. I felt warm and safe. I know Jake won't hurt me, he has before but I know him better than that. I barely knew Scott. Sure, I knew Adam for a while but I knew he has mood swings, I just never knew how severe they were. But Jake? Never. I pull myself in closer to his bare chest. He smelled minty and of old spice. Jake's smelled that way for as long as I could remember and I've always loved it. I feel him stir and I look up. He's looking down at me, smiling. "Good morning beautiful." I hide my blush.

"Morning." I force a smile at him. Maybe it was better that I'm not with Scott anymore, but it still hurt like hell. I devoted myself to him. I trusted him. We went through everything and I even gave myself to him. He fought Adam for me. He was with me in the hospital. He taught me to fight. He spent nights with me because I didn't want to be alone. I feel tears well up in my eyes at the memories.

"Hey hey, Brianne Reid, you are not going to mope around here anymore. Get ready, we're going to the beach." He smiles. Is he crazy? It's just now turning spring, no way the water is warm. Air might be, but not the water.

"Please? It'll be fun. I'll make sure of it. I want you to live a little." He had a mischievous look on his face and I shook my head. Before, when Jake would say that, we'd always have the greatest nights ever, always something different. Once, it was my first race. Another was a night at a teenage club that our town has that keeps teens from drinking, but they spike the drinks anyways. We've always done crazy stuff together, some even illegal but it was always a good time. I walk over to my house and grab my black bikini, high waisted jean shorts and a maroon crop top. I put all that on, grab my phone and slid on my black sandals. I make my way back over to Jake's house but I notice a car in Scott's drive way. Leslie's car to be exact. I roll my eyes and walk into Jake's house, fighting back the tears threatening to spill.

"I'm ready." I squeak out quietly. Jake walked down stairs in black swim trunks and a white v neck shirt. And nods in head in approval and we run out to his bike, hand in hand. I catch Scott's eye as he's walking Leslie to her car. He give an apologetic smile and I shake my head and roll my eyes. We both jump on and Jake takes off. I didn't miss Jake flipping off Scott as we took off and I couldn't help but let out a laugh. I hold on tightly around his waist and let the spring air blow through my hair. He turns down an old backroad and I get an idea. I've done it before but not in a long time, since a race I went to with Jake.

I stand up, getting my balance. Jake knew what I was doing because he scoots back. I step in front of him and sit down to drive. We've done that in a race once when Jake was having troubles, considering he was a little tipsy that night.

I sit down and hit the gas, obviously flying down the old road. Jake laughed at my thrill and held onto me. Once we get back into a small town, someone else on a sports bike showed up next to us. He revved his engine, signaling a race and I nodded my head accepting. "To the edge of town!" He yelled. Luckily it was a small town, very little amount of cops, if any at all. Once the light turned green, we took off.

I cut him off around turns and he was behind several yards. I hit the next stop light at the edge of town and I stop. He pulls up next to me several seconds later.

"Damn." He looks at Jake. "Your girl can race."

Jake smiled and patted my thigh. "Yeah, my girl can race." I rolled my eyes at 'my girl'.

"Thanks." I say. He held his hand out for me to shake. "Brianne and that's Jake." I say, pointing at Jake.

"Kyle." He greets. We shake hands and exchange numbers. "Where do you two go to school at?" He asks us.

"Virginia Valley." Jake responds. Kyle's eyes light up?

"Seriously? How come I never seen you two?" I shrug. "I go to Virginia Valley too, junior." Well that explains why I don't remember him, I don't really talk to people outside of the senior class.

"Oh, we're seniors." Kyle smiles and nods his head.

"Well, I need to go. Nice race and see you around school!" He calls as he starts his bike. I nod my head, not wanting to yell over the roar of the engines. Jake and I wave bye to Kyle and he waves back. Jake and I finish our trip to the beach. It's been an exiting day and it hasn't even started yet.

About half way there, Jake speaks up.

"Bree, let me drive. There's a certain place I want to go to." I nod and pull over. Once we're situated again, he take off.

About 30 minutes later, he pulls over next to a woods. I give him a questioning look and he laughs. "Chill Bree, we just have to walk a little bit." I nod, unsure what to say. He pushes his bike a little ways into the woods, so it couldn't be seen from the road. He grabs my hand and pulls me through the woods and up a big hill. After several minutes of waking we arrive at a clearing.  I look out and see the blue ocean. It's so beautiful here. Then I look down and see the a water fall and a big cliff. Several people about our age were here too. Jake gives me a mischievous grin again.

"Take off your clothes." He winks. I roll my eyes. I take off my shirt and my shorts when I hear a couple of whistles. One from Jake and another from some brunette fixing to jump. Right after my shorts go down, I'm in Jake's arms. He's running towards the end of the cliff and I wrap myself around him. I don't like heights and I've never done this in my life. I burry my head into Jake's neck as I feel us flying through the air. Within seconds, we landed in the water and come back up. I was still wrapped around Jake, face still buried in his neck. He chuckles.

"It's okay gorgeous, you're fine." I look around and see a ledge when're a bunch of other teens are. It's got shallow water, ankle deep from the water fall and people are playing a boom box and dancing. I smile at Jake and he looks at me.

"I wouldn't mind seeing another pole dance of yours." He says winking. I punch his shoulder. "Damn girl, I was kidding. That training really paid off." He said, rubbing his arm. I immediately stop in my tracks and think about Scott and fighting. I missed going to that old nasty gym. Jake must have seen my change in emotion. "Shit. I'm sorry Bree." I smile and grab his hand. "I can still train you if you want to do that?"

I felt my eyes light up. I missed fighting. I nod my head excitedly and Jake laughs. I almost forgot how perfect his smile was. He brushed my hair behind my ear and looked back and forth between my eyes and my lips. I bit my lip nervously and couldn't help but look down at his lips. He starts leaning in and I did too. We get broken away when I hear a familiar voice call our names. Jake and I snap to reality and look over to see Kyle, our new...friend?...waving at us from the top of the cliff. Damn....so close.....
