Save Me Tonight (One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter 11

The words echoed in my ears- Jen, will you marry me? Who the hell does he think he is? Obviously this is a way to make me stay, without me to please him who would he have?

"Jen?" He asked, his voice calm. Ugh, he is only acting nice so I will say yes. Would if I say no and he, kills me? I shook the thought out my head, he wouldn't kill me, would he? I felt frozen, my mouth dry. If I said yes, what would I do about Louis? He is nice, maybe he would understand. I stared down at Jonahs big brown eyes, he wants me to be his permanent slave. I'm only twenty, I'm not ready to get married, but I'm not ready to have the shit beaten out of me either.

"Yes." The words came in a slow whisper. My body slumped, he won. I'm defeated in this game of life we have been playing. I felt tears coming on as I watched his evil grin grow on his face. I held out my hand and watched as he slid the ring on my finger. Usually people would be crying from happiness, but I fell to the ground. I curled up in a ball on the floor and bawled, I didn't care if he watched. I suddenly felt a hard kick on my back.

"Get up, stop crying like a little girl." He spat while walking to the table, "I'm working today, when I get home I want dinner on the table." I stood up and nodded.

Will gave me another day off to "celebrate" my engagement. Instead I came bursting into Cameron's apartment. Vanessa and her were watching a movie curled up on the couch. They jumped when I slammed the door. For a second we just stared at each other, then I fell to my knees. I covered my face as I bawled into my hands. They both ran over to me and walked me to the couch. 

"What's wrong? Shouldn't you be at work?" Vanessa asked while wiping my tears away. 

"I'm engaged, to Jonah." I cried, the words triggering more tears. They stared at me in disbelief. 

"When the hell did this happened!? Why didn't you tell me sooner?!" Cameron yelled in anger.

"You were working early today, right? It happened when I got home." I whispered, too sucked of energy to speak up. 

"WHAT THE FUCK! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? THAT JERK, I WILL KILL HIM!" Vanessa screamed in rage while clenching her fists. Cameron stood up and knocked the magazines off he table. They're anger was comforting, like they knew what I was going through.

"Call Violet and Isabella, now." Cameron ordered to Vanessa. Vanessa picked up her phone and texted the two. 

About twenty minutes later, they came rushing through the door. Huffing and puffing from running. 

"What the hell is the emergency?" Isabella gasped. They stopped talking and looked at me, my eyes red and puffy and Vanessa holding me close. I outstretched my hand to show the the sparkly ring on my finger.

"Oh fuck." Is all that escaped Violet's mouth before she jumped beside me. 

"We are having a sleepover together, just like in elementary school, except with booze." Isabella stared one more time at my ring, "A lot of booze." A little giggle escaped my lips and everyone smiled. Then I realized what Jonah told me, "Have dinner on the table when I get home." 

"Guys Jonah told me I had to have dinner on the table when he gets home, so I can't stay over." I muttered. They all frowned at me for what felt like forever.

"Hey can kiss my ass, you will have dinner on the table, but he never said you had to be there." Violet planned. Her face growing a diabolical grin. I gave her a confused expression, signaling her to explain.

"We'll all help you make a dinner, then put it on the table and stay the night here." Violet suggested. 

"He will be really mad." I explained. Just at that instant my phone vibrated, it was Louis. His text made me smile.

Hey babe! I miss you, do you want to stay over sometime this weekend? 

Sure! How about Saturday?

Alright, love you xx

He was the only guy who made me smile. Well I guess the rest of those One Direction boys make me happy too. Oh shit! I completely forgot about Louis, would if he finds out about Jonah's and mine engagment? The word "engagement" felt wrong in my life. At least right now and with him.

"Was that Louis?" Isabella asked while looking at my phone screen.

"Yeah, I can't break it off with him. I might love him." I said into my phone. Violet lifted my chin and turned my head so I was facing her. 

"Your not leaving Louis. Your leaving Jonah, you can stay with Louis." She whispered to me.

"I can't-" She held up her hand to stop me from talking.

"Tell him about Jonah. He will understand." Violet reasoned I shook my head, I can't take that chance.

"Jen, if he does leave, I'm getting that promotion soon." Cameron joined. Vanessa shot her a deadly look.

"I don't think your boss is ever giving you that promotion! She needs someone right now!" Vanessa cried, he anger escalating.

"If we weren't going to school, and Cameron had more money, you could stay with us. But life fucking sucks." Isabella muttered under her breath. I smiled at my friends, there was no soultion, but they still kept trying. 

******

The kitchen had a million different smells circulating. Violet and Isabella were chopping vegetables while Cameron and Vanessa were trying to figure out how to roast a chicken. I was making cocktails for us.

"We need music!" Violet yelled while running to get my I-POD and I-POD dock. She plugged it in and a song started to play. 

"So tell me what you want what you really really want, I'll tell you what I want what I really really want!"

"Ahh! I remember this song!" Vanessa yelled while thrusting her hips. I laughed as she started to mouth Sporty Spice's solo. Cameron grabbed a spatula and started to lip sink into it. 

"If you want to be my lover you gotta get with my friends, make it last forever friendship never ends!" The speaker boomed as we all belted out the song. We danced around the kitchen like the girl band.  I watched as Violet sang into a whisk and jumped onto the kitchen table. We all circled her and acted like crazed fans. I started to flip my hair around and scream the lyrics. I felt thirteen again, making cookies for the last day of school. I baked those cooking with all of my friends who are here right now. What are the odds that we would all be together still.

Vanessa's phone vibrated and she squealed as she read the text. Violet jumped down from the table and we all circled around her. The text read:

Hey girl, it's Zayn! Wanna meet up I'm with Harry, Niall, Louis and Liam! They all want your four friends here too! Lets meet at Mcdonalds?

Okay! I'm with all of them right now! See you there :)

Violet screamed and ran around the kitchen like a lunatic. All of my friends were squealing and jumping. I laughed and smiled, all of my friends have a boy. 

"Well lets finish this stupid dinner and leave. Don't forget to spit in everything." I laughed, being completely serious. I watched as all of my friends spit into Jonahs meal.
