Love, I'm Done (ON HOLD)

Chapter 11

The second part will be up for sure by Monday, but I cut it off for sexual content so you can skip the next chapter if you don't like sex scenes. This one is significantly shorter than it would be but I don't wanna offend people with sex scenes and don't want them miss a chapter that is important. Thank you for understand and your support (:

Chapter 11 - Part 1

'Em?'

'Yeah Jacey?'

'Do you, uh. Do you think I could stay here tonight?'

'Of courses!' I say smiling a big smile. I look up to see his smile, but he's not smiling.

'Babe? What's wrong?'

He forces a smile, 'Nothing, just tired is all Em.'

'Pinky promise?' I hold out my pinky, as we pinky promise on everything.

He sees my pinky but looks to the ground.

'Jaceee. What's wrong? Please talk to me?'

He looks to me with tears threatening his eyes.

'I can't go back there. I can't ever go back.'

'Why not?'

'She started again. This time, it's worse than it ever was when we were little.'

His mom was an alcoholic whilst Jace and I were little. She went to treatment and got better since my parents told her she had best shape up since their kid, meaning me, was hanging out with hers. Jace stayed with us whilst she was in treatment, but it didn't take that long.

'Last night, why I cut, she was screaming at me. She may not ever have been the best parent, but she has not screamed at me since I was little. But, last night as soon as I came through the door she started in. She was asking where I had been, screaming in my face. She accused me of stealing her pills and money. I didn't even know she had pills for anything! And I sure as hell wouldn't take money, I know we don't have much. I'm not that stupid Em! I told her I had been with you, cause I know she likes you. She's always been happy that you've been in my life, but I think that made her angrier. I was just trying to remind her of you and she got in my face. I started to back away and tell her she needed to calm down.' Jace is starting to talk really fast and rushed.

'She took a swing for my face, but missed so she went again and hit my cheat really hard, practically with all her strength.' He paused to catch his breath, and tears came down his face. Quickly, he wiped them away, hoping I hadn't seen them. He pulled up his shirt, and showed me a large red hand print on his chest, I gasped and looked away. It was slightly bruising and it was blotchy. It look like it hurt like hell.

'Jace, has she.. Has she hit you before and you not told anyone?'

He looks away and down, giving me the answer I didn't wanna hear.

'Jace, when? How many times? When did it start? Why didn't you tell me...?'

'Em.. I just wanna take a shower and then go to bed. I really don't wanna talk about it right now. Please?'

'Okay.'

Jace goes to the dresser, grabs some fresh clothes and heads to the bathroom.

I decide to start some laundry so we can both have fresh clothes, but mostly him.

Once I hear the water start, I knock.

'Jace! I'm gonna come in an grab your dirty stuff and start some laundry.' I walk in and start grabbing towels, boxers, shirts, my panties and bras. My back is towards the shower, and I hear the curtain being pulled back. I figure he was shutting it more so I wouldn't accidentally see him so I continue to grabs stuff.

I feel a presence behind me, so I turn around.

Jace is standing there, completely naked and dripping water everywhere. Jace caught me staring at his package, which causes him to chuckle.
