He loves me; He loves me not *Currently Editing*

Chapter 37

It's 2 am, so I figure none of my new friends will be awake. I could risk it & go home, but i'm too scared. I find a tree & curl up against it. How could this happen. Everyone warned be about Jack being no good. Luke knew from the begining. Luke. I wish he was here with me. My head bows down & the tears drip off, 1 by 1. I'm more scared of Jack than my father. & he went from acting sweet to, him now, all in a matter of seconds. I guess I triggered Dad's dark side just by finding his secret out.

All in a matter of seconds.

It doesn't take long for everything to change, or to find out everything you thought you knew is a lie. Guess I'm a complete idiot.

Mom didn't listen to me like I didn't listen to Luke, or even Jeff, because he told me to be careful, not til there was proof, that we finally see what they tried to warn us about. I wipe my tears off & stand up. My mom's in the hospital now. I don't give a fuck of what Jack does, but i'm planning on being there to hug her when she wakes up & I'm planning on being someone she'll be proud of.

I grab a thick branch on the ground, than start walking back to the house. If he's there, he'll better start planning a trip to the denist when I knock his teeth out.

I finally arrive to the house. So far, no sign of him. I peek in my room, still no sign of him. I grab my phone off my bed. I wish I was smart enough to bring it. My eyes go wide as I realize I forgot to lock the back door. I don't have my branch with me, so I chance it by going downstairs & go at it. I sigh of relief when I lock the door, then go back upstairs to the saftey (hopefully) of my room.

I give a weak smile as I drift off to sleep. Safe & sound. For the moment.

I wake up & stretch my arms, then rub my arms. Was last night real?? I look at my wrists seeing tem slightly swelled from when he pinned me to the ground. Oh, it was real.

I go downstairs to see Jack sitting at the table, enjoying a plate of eggs. He gives me an evil smile.

Before I can scream at him, he puts a finger to his lips, to silence me. I look at my grandma, standing there, all smiles. Why should I stay silent?? Jack gets up, walks over to me, & wrap his arm around me, making me flinch.

"Do you really think your family needs more drama??" He whispers in my ear. I shut my eyes. He's right. What good would it do anyway?? No proof for the police, it'll just upset my family for nothing. I turn to look at him. He still looks amazingly cute as usual.

"Yeah," he says. "you still want me." I feel myself blush.

"Just go home Jack. There's plenty of girls who dream of being with you, go have your little twisted fun with them."

"Your 100% correct about that. But there's something that turns me on about a total good girl virgin. Especially after they escape when I almost have them," he says, & I see a look in his eyes. The scariest look i've ever seen. The one that says, I'll stop at nothing to get my way.

I point to the front door, waiting for him to leave.

"Your grandparents invited me to stay another night." His evil smile shows.

"Well, i'll see to it that we're never alone together. We're done, if that wasn't clear." & with that said, I walk out the door. The beach used to be a happy place for me, but I'm almost crying just thinking of it. I go to the park instead. I smile seeing the happy children play. I sit down at a tree & watch. I didn't get that much sleep last night, had a nightmare where Jack was chasing me. I close my eyes & allow myself to drift off.

I wake up panting. Another nightmare. I check my phone to see the time, it's only 10:15 am, I had left the house at 10:00. An idea pops in my head. I run back to the house, hoping that Jack has left but Grandma is still there. Luckily, she is, & he is gone.

"I heard Jack is spending another night?? I was hoping to ask if I could drive back to my town & spend the night with my friends?? I miss them like crazy."

"Well, you can go with Jack," she says.

"I thought I saw him drive off to the interstate, he may have left already," I lie. I feel really bad about lying, but I have to get out of here. She stands there, thinking.

"Alright," she says as she hands me her car keys. "Call me when you get there." I hug her, then go upstairs to get a few things.

Soon enough, i'm on my way back home, & i'm safe from Jack.
