Scarred (on hold)

Chapter 11...

'Trust is important. But once a promise is broken. A sorry is nothing.'

************************************************************************************************************"Sam, Sam. Are you okay?" I felt someone shake me. I opened my eyes. My vision took a moment to settle. As my vision cleared a face came into sight. Jakes. I tried to sit up, but my body ached. "Sam, are you okay?" Leah asked. Sam, Leah, Ashlin. Where James? I nodded. I cleared my throat. "I'm fine," I looked around me. I was in the car. "How am I in the car? " I asked them.

"aah, Jakey picked you up and put you in the car." Ashlin explained. I looked at Jake "Thanks, but sorry you had to do it." I told him. He smiled. "thanks and sorry huh? two in one?" he raised an eyebrow. I looked around. James? Where's James? Where is he gone? Did he see Jake? Did they see him? Why did he leave? Does he think I'm dead? He might hurt them? I can't be around them, it's not safe.

"Looking for someone or something?" Ashlin asked. I bit my lip. Jake looked utterly curious. "umm..no. What happened?" I asked. Leah answered this. "What happened is what we should ask you. Jakey here comes out with his wallet and..." Jake put his hand out. "I think it's best I explain this wouldn't you agree Lee Lee?" he asked sweetly. I miss you Jason. I remember you so much when I see Leah and Jake. You weren't even there when I was all alone. When mum left us and went, you couldn't even come. Jason, baby, I miss you. "yeah that makes sense." Leah replied calmly. 

"So I came out here and you were lying on the floor coughing and gasping for breath. You were bluey purple you'd lost all your colour. You'd scared me shitless." he told me worriedly. "are you sure your okay?" he asked. So how did James leave? What's going on. 

I pulled out a scarf from my bag and wrapped my throat. No-one should have to see this. Ever. I can't get any of these innocent people stuck in my messed up life. "yeah, I'm fine. Just tired, I guess. Sorry, about that." Leah opened her mouth to ask more but Jake gave her a look that silenced her. Everyone took their seats in the car. 

"So girls, where are we off to now?" Jake asked. Ashlin grinned. "The mall, definitely. I want to see if they have the new Max Factor Mascara, you know the one that works for like 24 hours thats so cool right?" Jake started laughing. "you girls and your cosmetics. Lee, you okay with the mall?" he asked. "Yeah I need to buy the new Justin Bieber single." Leah gushed. I smiled I loved Jb music myself. Jake turned the radio on, Justin Bieber boyffriend was playing. "If I were your boyfriend..." we all sang along. Boyfriend. I felt a shiver run down my spine. James. I used to love him so much, I gave him my life. What I can''t believe is, that he actually tried ending it. 

At the back of my head I was still wondering about James."My phone buzzed. I opened my bag and pulled out my  brand new white iphone. I'd used my dad's given credit card already. He didn't give it so I stay out of his hair, rather he has some other motive. But what? Carlo very kindly had gone with my card and bought me an iphone last night, so i could dump my crappy nokia.

I opened the message. It was from a number I recognised. James. With shaking hands I opened the message. 

DON'T THINK THIS IS OVER PRINCESS. IT IS ONLY JUST STARTED. I SAW YOUR MAN, YOU CAME WITH HIM DIDN'T YOU,YOU SLUT. HE'S GOOD FOR NOW, BUT NOT FOR LONG...

I felt a chill run down my spine. I cleared my throat. "guys, I'm kinda drained out and I really need to crash, can we continue our day out another time. Please." I asked. I'm sorry Leah. I'm sorry Ashlin. Forgive me guys.I can't let Jake get hurt because of me. No. Sorry. I can't have James hurt you.            "You okay Sam?" Leah asked. I nodded weakly. Ashlin opened her mouth to speak but Jake interrupted. "yeah, sure. We'll drop youhome. Where'd you live?"
