When a good girl fell in love with a bad boy.

19. He is just overprotective

I've been thinking about what Jake told about Jackson's dad. Did he actually want to kill him? Could he really kill a human being? Would he really go that far? Jake is very kind person but if someone does something bad to his friend I seriously don't know what he could do.

I really don't know what to think about of all this so I've been avoiding Jake all day at school.

I'm at my locker finding my history books as fast as I can so I could hide in the classroom.

"Hey baby." Jake appears out of nowhere next to me.

"Hey." I say quickly and take my books.

"I haven't seen you all day."

"Been busy." I say avoiding eye contact.

"I miss you." He says and tries to look me in the eyes.

"I need to go." I say and rush away.

"Did I do something wrong? Em?" Jake shouts behind me and I just speed walk away ignoring him.

I walk in the class and sit on my seat, bell hasn't rung yet so I'm the only one here. Soon Joanne walks to me.

"Hey. Why are you here so early?" She asks. "I didn't find you anywhere so I thought you might be here."

"I'm hiding." I say.

"From who? Jake?"

"Yeah."

"What did he do?"

"Nothing. I just feel weird about yesterday."

"When Jackson told about his dad?"

"Yeah. I'm just thinking about how I am dating a guy who could have killed a man. That thought haunts me." I sigh.

"You need to talk to Jake about that."

"I know. But not right now, I'm not ready."

"I wanted to see you after school. Where did you disappear?" Jake texts me when I get home.

"I rushed home."

"Could we meet today?"

"I'm busy." I text him, actually I have nothing to do, I don't even have any homework or tests coming.

"Is everything alright?"

"Yeah."

"You sure? Are you mad?"

"I'm fine." I send him and I lock my phone.

Without even thinking about it I unlock my phone and I search Jackson's number and call it.

"Hey." His voice answers.

"Hey. Are you busy today?"

"No. What's up?"

"Could we meet?"

"Sure."

"At the mall?"

"Okay, do you need a ride?"

"Sure!"

"I'll come pick you up in 15."

I feel like talking to Jackson will help me with my thoughts. He knows Jake the best after all.

I put my hair on a high ponytail and I go downstairs.
