For Forever...

Trouble

Trouble

Jensen's P.O.V.

Kayle's hand didn't leave mine for more than a few seconds from the time we got to school till I got her to her homeroom. Promising her I'd meet her after every class so that she wouldn't have to walk anywhere alone, worried she would run into Trent at all. Thankfully we made it to lunch without sight of him. We weren't that lucky once we got into the lunch room. I had my arm around Kayle looking down at her while we were walking and talking, she was laughing at something I said, when she froze. I didn't even have to look up to know what was going on.

"Kayls just ignore him alright, lets get some food in you" She sighed heavily and let me fill up a tray for the two of us walking us over to our normal table where only Tristian was I sat down across from her so she could sit next to Tristian. We were all just talking waiting on Keryn to join us when Trent basically bee-lined toward me. I didn't miss a beat and didn't even make eye contact with him. Though he didn't like that very much and made sure to knock into my arm, hard. I stood up pushing my chair so hard it went crashing to the floor. I didn't get in his face I just kept my distance but he wanted to make this a problem.

"Something you need to say Ackles?"

"Do you have a problem?" He got in my face and put his hands on my chest pushing me.

"Do we?" He went to push me again and I snapped, I pushed him back, then he tried throwing a punch which I caught and then decked him right at his eye, then again his nose, and one more time at his lip before I heard Kayle scream and someone pull me off of him.

"Don't go near her again!" Was the last thing I said before I was dragged out of the lunch room and into the principal's office. I sat there blood on my hands wiping at it with a tissue. My eyes stayed on the ground in front of me, and when Mr. Brutto called my name I didn't even look up just stood and headed into his office. Within a few minutes both of my parents were in there with me. I didn't regret what I did, not even a little bit. He deserved way more.

"Son, you know we have a no tolerance for any fighting in the school, Mr. Lockwood said he would be pressing charges so just be prepared for that."

"What exactly should we do to be prepared?" My dad asked

"You should get a lawyer and make sure you have everything straight, his family doesn't play games when it comes to suing people. I unfortunately have seen this a few times already in the past few years. So Mr. Ackles do you have anything to say before I have to suspend you?"

"I didn't start it." I kept my eyes focused on the desk.

"Wait Mr. Brutto aren't you supposed to find out what happened before just jumping to conclusions about our son? Our son, who has never been in trouble for anything his entire career here? Is in cheer and theater and lacross and baseball, never missing a practice." My mom said.

"Jensen, would you like to tell me what happened?"

"He shoved me, and swung so I hit him."

"Why would he shove you?" I shrugged my shoulders not wanting to tell him what had happened this past weekend. "Well if you can't give me a reason then I'm going to have to suspend you."

"You can't suspend me, he'll just get to her" I finally looked up at him with glassed over eyes.

"What do you mean he'll just get to her? Kayle? She's your girlfriend right? Is this what all this is about then?"

"Yes, no, sort of"

"Jensen, I need you to tell us what happened" My parents were looking at me expectantly.

"He walked past me and hit my shoulder, I got up, he shoved me, then went to throw a punch, I caught it and hit him three times. That's what happened"

"All of this for no reason?" Mr. Brutto wasn't going to stop, and I was on the verge of losing it again.

"No there was a reason."

"Son, tell me the reason so we can get past all of this."

"He tried to rape her!" I slammed my hands down on the desk and stood up to start pacing the room, tears trying to fall.

"Excuse me?" My moms head was down, my dad's expression was unreadable, and Mr. Brutto was so shocked I was sure his eyes were going to pop out.

"Trent, he…he drugged Kayle at a party this past weekend and attempted to rape her. A friend of ours got her out of there before he could. She's terrified of him, you can't suspend me, I need to protect her."

He picked up the phone and dialed out. "Yes, can you have Kayle Santiago sent down here please, thank you."

"She's going to hate me."

"Baby she isn't going to hate you." My mom rubbed my back. "Someone had to know, something needs done." A few tears slipped and I wiped them away quickly. Within seconds there was a knock on the door. Mr. Brutto told them to come in, I stood back up and Kayle ran into my arms.

"Are you okay?"

"Yes I'm fine, are you?" She nodded her head a few times before I lightly kissed her cheek. Mr. Brutto cleared his throat, I let Kayle take my seat and stood behind her with my hands on her shoulders.

"Kayle, Jensen here said that the fight was more of a self defense is that true?"

"Yes, he wouldn't hurt a fly unless he thought he was going to be hurt first. Jensen didn't start this, it was all Trent."

"Trent is going to be taking this to court, we're going to have to call in your parents as well as a lawyer for you both not now but you may want to do it soon. You need to make sure they know everything, including what happened this past weekend at that party."

"What?" Tears instantly fell down Kayle's cheeks I kneeled in front of her and started wiping them away.

"Kayls, I had to tell him. I am so sorry, they were going to suspend me unless I told them why it was self defense. I was defending you baby, please don't hate me."

"I don't hate you, I just don't want to tell my parents."

"They've already been called and are on their way her now." Mr. Brutto said "They should be here any minute, you can explain everything in private or with all of us here."




Kayle's POV

"EXCUSE ME?!" My dad yelled "I DON'T THINK SO! I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM MY LITTLE GIRL."

"Dad that's seriously what you are focused on right now!?" I yelled back at him.

"If you weren't sneaking around with him this would have never happened! You would have been home!"

"No I wouldn't have, I would have been at that party and the girl that rescued me wouldn't have known where to take me to get help!"

"We can fight about this at home, can we focus right now." My mom stood in between us.

"How are you so calm! Our little girl has been lying to us for almost 9 months! They have been dating for almost 9 months! That doesn't bother you one bit?!"

"No, what bothers me is the fact that our daughter was almost raped and we have to get our things in order to press charges against this boy that tried to hurt our baby!" My dad stomped out of the principals office slamming the door behind him. "I'm so sorry about my husband Mr. Brutto"

"No apology needed, it’s a rough thing to think about and he's projecting."

"Kayle honey lets go home."

We said good bye and walked out of his office. I ran into Jensen's waiting arms crying so hard I couldn't breathe.

"Shh baby its okay I've got you, you're safe."

"No it's not okay, my dad is going to go to extra lengths to make sure we aren't together anymore. I'm sure he'll try to home school me too!" I cried freely soaking his shirt.

"Shh Kayls, we will figure it out okay, one thing at a time." At that exact moment my dad came back into the waiting room and was instantly screaming at us. He yanked me away from Jensen's arms and pulled me outside pushing me into his truck. He continued yelling until my mom made it into the truck then he took off towards home. The whole ride he and my mom were talking back and forth loudly. We made it home and I got out of the truck and went straight to my room locking the door behind me. I didn't answer it for anyone the rest of the night.

At about 11pm I heard knocking on my balcony door. I dragged myself out of bed and walked over to unlock it. It opened before I could try to open it myself. Whoever was there barged in and instantly lips were on mine. I didn't need to second guess who it was I knew it was Jensen. He backed me up into the room closing the door behind him lightly not letting his lips leave mine. We backed up even further and landed on my bed, I stopped him by lightly pushing him away.

"What are you doing here? What if they find you?"

"He won't figure out I'm here, nobody will. Parked my truck in the woods. I told you I'd find a way, I'm not going a day without you Kayle. I love you." Tears welled up in my eyes. Knowing I loved him was one thing, hearing him actually say it was another.

"Jensen, I love you too" I smiled wide, tears flowing, his smile matched mine and he had tears forming in his eyes. I pulled his mouth back on mine as we spent the night making out before we fell asleep.

We woke up tangled in one another's arms as my alarm blared from across the room. I went to get up and he pulled me back down.

"I could so get used to this." I laughed and heard a knock on my door.

"Wake up Kay we've got to go in 15. I'm driving today…obviously." Kieryn yelled.

"Yea, be out in a few." I heard him walk away and turned back to Jensen. "You have to go, if anyone sees you."

"Nobody will see me" He laughed lightly before climbing out of my bed and kissing me. "I'm bringing a toothbrush tonight"

"Wait tonight?"

"Yea, I'm not sleeping without you for awhile. Plus how'd you sleep?"

"Amazing" I was a little shocked at my response because since this past weekend I wasn't able to sleep all night. I actually stayed up most of the night. Last night, I slept better than I have in months if I was being honest. "You need to go" I laughed at his smug smile as he winked at me, kissed me, said goodbye and went back out my balcony window. That is basically how the rest of the month went. Jensen would show up at 10 or 11 pm and leave right after my alarm went off. He brought his toothbrush and a change of clothes back and forth with him. Even though he wasn't allowed to pick us up for school anymore he sat in the school parking lot waiting for Keryn and I to get there. Besides these late nights we didn't get to spend any time together. My dad made sure to enroll me in everything that he could to take care of any and all of my downtime so that I wouldn’t be able to even hang out with Tristian because apparently he thought that’s how I was sneaking around. Thankfully it was finally graduation day for my brother and Jensen and finally summer.
