Save Me Tonight (One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter 2

The radio was booming music as loud as it could go. Isabella was cupping her ears with her hands as Violet screamed the random song to the top of her lungs. I was too used to Jonahs yelling to be bothered by it. That didn't mean I didn't find it annoying. I glared at my friend and she didn't even flinch, I guess I used to be intimidating. I quickly recovered from the weak attempted at a glare by joining in on her "amazing" singing. This time Isabella groaned in annoyance, I couldn't help but laugh. She is so funny, but not as loud as Violet. Once the song came to an end, Violet slumped down in her chair completely sucked of energy. I didn't exactly care, but I know Isabella did as she raised her fist in the air. I flinched, quickly staring at the floor of the car. It was a reflex now, even though she shot it up and not towards me. I started to focus on the radio announcer.

"Next we have One Directions new single, What Makes You Beautiful!" He announced. Violet squealed, okay that time it was annoying. Vanessa groaned, she thinks this song is over played, I kind of like it. 

"Oh my god! Turn it up! turn it up!" Violet yelled into Cameron's ear. Cameron was more than glad to take her order. She loves the song too. 

"Guys, I like One Direction, but isn't this song getting a little old?" Vanessa groaned. Cameron gasped as if she just insulted her. 

"This song is like ear sex, get out!" Cameron yelled playfully, while gesturing to the car door. Vanessa hit Cameron's shoulder and sunk back into her seat. I started tapping my fingers against the dash board. This song was actually really catchy; I've also seen a couple pictures of those British boys, and boy, are they cute. The song was at the chorus, uncontrollably I started to sing along. 

"Jen! Yes! You have type A One Direction Infection, their is no cure!" Violet squealed with happiness. I giggled as Violet joined in on the singing. This song makes me happy, it makes me wanna dance, it makes me feel beautiful. I haven't felt that way since before the accident that took my parents life. As soon as the song ended my happy thoughts tumbled down the cliff of reality. Commercials started to play on the radio and I just stared out the window. Thoughts of being happy one day rolled into my mind. Sure, I'm happy with my four friends but I mean truly happy, like coming home to someone that loves me and doing something changes people lives. 

"Hey, Jen! Snap out of it, your getting a call from Lord Dick the Fourth!" Cameron yelled while pulling up to the drive thru at McDonald's. I shook the thoughts out of my head and grabbed my phone. I clicked answer and put it up to my ear, afraid of what he will say. At first it was just silence.

"I'm hungry, so get your ass back home!" He screamed through the line before hanging up. I turned towards my friends that I barley get to see because of Jonah. They made me smile and laugh and feel happy, I never want to leave. 

"Hey girls, um, I er, have to go." I stuttered trying hard to hold back tears. Cameron gave me a sad look, her eyebrows curving upward. 

"Jen stay with me tonight, please." Cameron begged. I stared down at the floor, the sob in the back of my throat was keeping me from speaking, if I did, I would just break down. I managed to swallow it and looked into her big hazel eyes.

"Then what? Go home and have to deal with Jonah? He would be more angry than he is now." I cried, my voice cracking in mid-sentence. Vanessa leaned forward so she could reach me in the front, and began to pat my back like a dog.

"He is controlling your life! Do you promise that once I get my promotion you will move in with me?" Cameron asked, her eyes big and serious. I slowly nodded while tears starting pouring over my face. she gave me a stern look, she wasn't convinced.

"I-I promise." I stuttered while wiping tears from my eyes. Cameron turned to the speaker that was now beside her window. She ordered us all sundaes, she paid no matter how much we protested. 

*****************

Cameron pulled onto my street going as slow as she can, trying to savour the moment before I enter that house. She pulls into my drive way and turns off the car. She got out of the car and opened the door for me, as her polite self always does. 

"You should probably go no further, I wouldn't want you getting hurt." I whispered, my voice cracking from fear. She put her fingers under my chin and lifted my head up. 

"It's terrible that it's gotten bad enough for you to be scared to come home." She whispered while pulling my dark brown hair behind my ears. I grabbed her wrist and put it to her side. I waved to all my friends, secretly wishing they could stay. Once the car was out of sight I proceeded towards my personal hell.

"What the hell took you so long?! I told you I was hungry! Gonna let me starve you insensitive bitch!" Jonah screamed while flailing his arms in the air like a lunatic. 

"Why didn't you make your own damn food?" I said through gritted teeth. He suddenly stopped raging and stood in silence. 

"Did you just talk back to me? You think you can do that to me? Fuck you!" He screamed clenching his fist. I turned towards him about to say something when I was struck with impeccable force. My head started spinning as I fell to the ground from the impact. My vision started to blur, I could only make out shapes and colours.

"You have no power, remember that, bitch." Was all I heard Jonah say before the world was sucked up by darkness.
