I've Got You.

Chapter 9 : The Other Side

Chapter 9

Jean's POV

As we enter Austin O'Conell's house, i wanted to throw up. There was loud music blasting, cheap red solo cups with beer and horny teenagers all around making out with strangers. I saw many drunk, perverted boys check me out. I was so disgusted. It was nothing new that many boys in the past have made suggestive comments about my curvacious figure. 

I feel relieved to have Travis with me. He places his hands on my shoulders to steady me and i lean back a little into him. I dont know what i was thinking when i asked him to take me to Austin's house. I was just really angry at Sam for hurting Dandy. I am pretty sure he's at this party..

I spot him sitting on the couch with some blonde with pink highlights sitting in his lap, letting him touch her all over. He was clearly drunk and misguided. I storm in front of him, push the slut on to the other side of the couch.

It didn't take much effort as she was sloshed and easy to topple over.

"Woaaah, Jean. Easy there. There's enough of Sam to go around" He says, and high fives some random guy. Oh he makes my blood boil. I see Travis ball up his fists. He looks so damn sexy..

JEAN CONCENTRATE! 

"Listen up, you cheap bastard. If you ever try to talk to Dandy or come near her i will cut your balls off and place them inside your throat so that you choke and die" I spit out.

"Omgomgomg im totally scared please call my mommy to take me home" He says in a high pitched voice. " Look weirdo, i ain't scared of you. So buzz off. It's way past your bedtime, loser" he laughs.

I AM SERIOUSLY GOING TO KILL HIM!!!!

"Apologize" Travis says.

Sensing a possible fight, the music has been shut and everyone turns around the see the spectacle.

"I said apologize to this girl before i make you" Travis holds Sam by the collar.

I can see Sam sweating and nervously clutching on to his shirt.

"Oh please, i wont apologize to this bitc-" Before Sam could complete his sentence, Travis punched him on the jaw, knocking him down. When Sam doesn't wake up for the next 10 minutes, Travis picks him up and places him on the couch. HE shakes him frantically, and throws the contents of the red solo cup on his face. Sam stirs a little, too dazed to realise what's happening. 

I was too shocked to see this. And so was everyone else.I let out the breathe i was holding.

 WHO DOES THAT? i mean i know people do that, but Travis has never hit anyone. Ever. 

i need to seriously stop giving him the cold shoulder and try talking to him.

I have to agree though, he looked so hot when he did that. The punching i mean. He looked so angry yet sexy. He muscles were tight and i just really wanted to touch them...

OMG WHAT IS UP WITH MY STUPID HORMONES?

"Are you ready to go?" he asked me politely.

I nodded and he took me by the hand and steered me outside, with every set of eyes on us. 

Travis's POV

The car ride seemed to be going awfully quiet. And like always, i decided to break it.

"Are you mad at me?" i asked trying to hide all the nervousness from my voice. I didnt wanna lose her just when i was about to win her back.

She took a moment to asnwer. "I'm not..mad. I'm surprised. I never took you for the one to punch someone" She asked, looking at me with concern.

"But then i picked him up as well.." I said, half laughing.

She gave me a small smile," I'm not saying this change is bad Travis, I'm saying i need to rediscover you" she turned her head and looked outside the windown again.

Those words were enough for me to feel more confident about this situation. 

As we went back home, she let out a yawn. I couldnt controll myself from laughing and she gave me a sheepish smile. But as we entered the house, her smile had vanished. Her face had drained of all colour.

She said godnight to me and rushed towards Eric and Chloe's adjoining rooms. At first i was puzzled but then i heard the loud voices of Mr. and Mrs. Summer's fighting. I wasn't new to this so i just returned back to my room. A changed into my boxers and decided not to wear anything on top. A few minutes later i heard a loud bang across my room. 

Atleast she's back in her room. 

I was extremely tired. As soon as i hit the bed, I fall asleep.

A few hours later, i hear my door open. And a figure pop its head inside. I squint in the dark and i know it's Jean. I get out of bed instantly and go next to her. 

"Babe, are you okay?" I ask. She doesn't answer. She doesn't need to. I know she's crying. I can feel her tremble. I pull her in for a long hug. After a few minutes, when she's a little clamer I pick her up and tuck her inside my bed. I sit right there, letting her know that i'm going to protect her. 

Eventually she falls asleep. After a while, my eyes shut too. But i make sure i dont lie down, just in case she wakes up again.

i dont want her to think i'm taking advantage of her vulnerable state.

I sigh and drift off..
