TOO LATE. (Urban Teen Fiction)

CHAPTER. 16. HIDDEN LIES

Three days later...

It's been three days since me and Jasmine have talked, or with her even coming over or home. I've seen her at school briefly besides the classes we have together, But she's been on her high horse. It's the end of the day and I gave Justin's pops my answer, which he was pleased that I decided to join on. These past couple of days have been hectic for me with homework and the decision I had to make.

I can admit that with everything going on me and Tara have gotten much closer, with her coming over and showing me around. The end of the day was coming and the weekend is getting ready to jump off. It was a couple of parties that we were going to and Tara asked if we could go together. At first I was hesitant but since Jasmine has been doing her own thing despite the fact of me trying to fix things.

The bell rang and everyone shot out into the hallways, Tara tapped me on the shoulder getting my attention to follow her to her car. We walked down the hallway and out the building just to run into Jasmine and some guy that was kissing all on her neck.

I was a little jealous but I couldn't show it, especially since we only met only two weeks ago now. She looked at me and we made eye contact, just enough for her to roll them at me. I laughed and continued to walk with Tara as we approached her car she tossed me the keys. I hoped in and we drove off to my house,  since I had to change my clothes. We were half way there when she suggested we go by her place first, so she can grab her some clothes. We pulled up to her spot and she invited me in.

I sat on the couch as she went up to her room, and left me to be entertained by her grandmother. She asked me multiple questions to try to get a feel for what type of guy I was. After a few minutes Tara came running down the stairs grabbing my hand, yelling bye to her grandmother as we flew out the door.

We got in the car and I drove off to my house, so I can get dressed. We pulled up to my house and got walked in down to my room. As soon as I opened the door to my room Jasmine was sitting on my bed.

"What the hell are you doing here"?

Uhm I thought maybe we could talk, and fix things".

"Well you thought wrong,  since I tried multiple times to talk to you. I called you, texted you, and even went to your house. So I'm done trying, especially since its clear that you have moved on".

"Well clearly you moved on to so don't make it seem like I'm the bad person" .

"I wasn't making you seem that way but communication is key, and I've tried, but you on the other hand didn't".

"Well I guess I should leave then".

"Yea I think that would be best, go find your new cuddle buddy,  the one that was all on you at school".

Tara stood there during the whole incident without saying anything, as Jasmine got up and walked out without giving any of us eye contact. Come to think about it she didn't even look up at me once during the whole thing, it was like she was hiding something.

Jasmine POV

I walked out of Dre's house with tears in my eyes, I seriously messed up. I ignored him these past couple of days to teach him a lesson, but I only dug myself into deeper trouble. I call myself going over to my best friends house back in my old neighborhood. While I was over there I hooked up with her cousin that just moved here.

He's eighteen fresh into college, and stays in the dorms not to far from my school. Well the first day we met he was such a gentleman, but then when I went over to his dorm room, his demeanor changed. He was very strong and took advantage of me, he claimed he was sorry and it was only because he was drunk.  He said he doesn't act like that and promised to never do it again.

Then after school today he showed up to pick me up, that's what Dre witnessed, but we were on our way to his dorm, then he began to get really aggressive again by trying to feel on me. When I stopped him he got mad and started hitting me, I did my best to fight him off to where I could get out.

Once I made it out of his car I ran as fast as I could to Dre house, but clearly he has moved on. I don't know what to do, Dre is the only one I can talk to,  but he doesn't want anything to do with me.

I sat on my bed crying just when my phone started to ring. I jumped up hoping it was Dre but it wasn't it was Kevin. I didn't want to talk to him considering what he did to me, so I let it go to voicemail.

He called back again then texted me. (I'm outside can you come out and talk to me I'm sorry.). (We have nothing to talk about you put your hands on me, and I don't take no man putting their hands on me at all.). (Look please I'm sorry it's just I got so much on me right now, and taking it out on you was coward of me please can we talk.). (I guess give me a min and I will be out.).

I went outside and sat on my porch with Kevin and he had a bouquet of roses and a big teddy bear. He gave them me as I sat in the chair holding them, as he spilled his heart out to apologizing. I took it all in, finally coming to the fact of forgiving him. He then asked if I would go out to dinner with him, which I agreed.

We pulled up to my favorite place RED LOBSTERS, and we went in and sat down to eat. Over dinner we engaged in conversation, in the booth that we sat in. He kissed all over me while we sat in the restaurant, as though we were the only one's there.

"Can we go back to my place", He whispered in my ear.

"Yes, but promise you won't hurt me".

"I promise imma take real good care of your body".

I smiled holding in my laugh. I must admit even though he took it against my will, it felt good for my first time since he wasn't rough.

So how do y'all like the Kevin guy? So he basically raped Jasmine and physically abused her, but she's giving him another chance. Should Dre have heard her side and really gave her another chance? And Jasmine isn't a virgin anymore, not by choice. So should she go back to his place?
