The Problem With Love (Jaegan) COMPLETE

chapter 4

i hear two faint knocks on the door. "yeah?" i ask. "it's Raegan." he says. i open the door and let him in. he looks at my neck and rubs his fingers along the bruises. "god...he's gonna get his ass beat." he tells me. i laugh but i stop myself because it hurts.

he hugs me "i have to go." he says. i nod and release from the hug. i go upstairs because my dad had to go to the store for a bit. i just think. I trust Raegan so much..he's in love with me..i don't know why i snap at him so much. he's my bestfriend. the only friend i have. i frown thinking about this subject but also smile because it's Raegan.

i sit there for a few more hours and i hear a knock on my door. "who is it?" i ask. then the door opens and i see Rae step in. i smile. "hey." i say. "hi jay!" he says excitedly. i get up and hug him. "have you eaten?" he asks. "no... i've been in here since you left." i say. "why?" he asks. "oh you know...just thinking..." i say. "about what?" he asks while walking downstairs.

Raegan comes over a lot and it makes me happy but also it gets annoying. "nothing important." i say with a smile. some of it feels forced but also it's kind of genuine, him and my dad are the only people who can make me smile. we get into the kitchen and raegan makes me something to eat

he knows i have an eating disorder but he watches me most of the time to make sure i don't throw it up. it gets annoying but it makes me happy that he truly cares for me.

he watches me as i finish the macaroni and cheese he made for me. he's such a goof.

i finish and he washes the dishes we used. we go back upstairs and he stays for a few hours to make sure i don't throw up. his phone dings and he looks at it. "fuck." i hear him say lowly, barley audible. "what?" i ask. "my dad is drunk again." he says. "fuck. i thought he was trying to get sober?" i ask. "he was." he says. he gets up and starts putting his shoes on.

he grabs his phone, the last thing he needs to go home. "i'll facetime you later, Jay." he says. "bye Rae." i tell him.

again, i lay there, thinking. somehow my mind always goes back to Raegan. i fall asleep thinking about him. i wake up with a missed facetime from Raegan and a few texts.

Fingles😫-Hey jay
Fingles😫-you okay?
Missed FaceTime call from Fingles😫
Fingles😫-i'm getting worried Justin
Me-hey! sorry i fell asleep
Fingles😫-Omg!! i thought you hated me.
Me-Never

i smile to myself. then i hear a knock on my door. 'mom' comes in. "Hey Jess." she says. i cringe at the name. "yeah?" i ask. "what happened while i was gone yesterday?" she asks. she doesn't like when people come back over when she leaves. "n-nothing." i say. "you're lying." she states. "no i-i'm not." i reply. she grabs my wrist and jerks me out of bed. ow. i try to pull away but she doesn't let me. i groan in pain because of how hard she's squeezing my already hurt wrist.

"tell the truth, young lady!" she yells. "he came back and we hung out!!" i yell. she slaps me across the face and lets go of my wrist. "i told you no one is aloud to be here when i'm not!!" she yells, getting in my face.

"He's just a friend!" i yell back. she slaps me again. "NO back talk!" she yells. i feel tears in my eyes and i try to hold them back but they just fall down my face. "get this room cleaned up little girl." she says before she walks out.

i groan and start picking stuff up. she doesn't really care about me. she doesn't care if i eat, or live for that matter. i just wish i had a mother that loved me. i finish cleaning and lay on my bed again.

"Justin?" i hear from downstairs. i get up and run down. "dad! hey!" i yell. i hug him. "we need to talk." he says. he looks pretty serious..
