Saved by her

Chapter 3

Jakes POV: I was sitting in my room crying, hurting, and very very sore. At like 1 pm i heard three loud knocks at my door. I just looked up. I didn't even have the urge to say anything back. Three more knocks went again. Then I heard Erikas voice.

Erika: Jake?
Erika: Jake?
Erika: Jake I'm gonna open it.

When I heard her say that I got up and covered my cuts I did to myself. She walked in and I was sitting on the floor. She walked in and closed the door behind her.

Erika: are you okay?
Jake: mhm
Erika: do you want anything to eat you haven't ate all day and you look like your starving.
Jake: no I'm fine.
Erika: Jake.

Alissa walks through the door.

Alissa: ew what are you doing in here?
Erika: nothing

Erika walks out. I wanted to tell her to stay. I felt safe with her. I get up and look at Alissa.

Alissa: yesterday I heard you say that you loved me?
Jake: I...do.
Alissa: I..love..you too.
Jake: no you don't.
Alissa: excuse me?
Jake: you wouldn't hurt me if  you love me.
Alissa: do-do you want anything to eat?
Jake: no.

Alissa slaps me.

Alissa: why do I even try?

She walks out my room. After she left, I sat in my room just questioning myself. What did I ever do to her? Does she really love me? Why am I so worthless? Why me? After a while I went downstairs to get a water and I went back upstairs. Everyone tried talking to me but I don't know, i just wasn't feeling it so I ignored everyone. I drank my water and stared out the window. Alissa walked in again. She closed the door behind her and grabbed the bat. I should've hid it from her. She was walking closer and closer. I then see the door behind her open very very quietly. I see Erika.

Erikas POV: I was gonna talk to Jake then I see Alissa go in. I slowly and quietly go in behind her. She had a bat in her hand. Jake looked terrified. He saw me. I didn't know what to do. She didn't hear or see me come in. I stood there and right as she was about to hit him, I pulled her hair back making her nearly fall. She dropped the base ball bat and looked at me.

Erika: don't. Fucking. Hit him.

Jake stood there with his eyes wide open.

Alissa: what the fuck. This isn't your room.
Erika: I knew what you were gonna do to him Alissa. Stop hurting him.
Alissa: shut the fuck up.
Erika: get the out of here.
Alissa: what?
Erika: get out.
Alissa: you can't tell me what to do.
Erika: that doesn't matter, your hurting Jake, your abusing him. He fucking loves you and you give him shit back. You can't be around here if that's all your gonna do. Just get the fuck out of here.

Alissa turns to Jake.

Alissa: were done.
Jake: a-

Alissa walks out.

Alissa: that doesn't mean I'm gone

She said that as she walked away. Jake tried to follow her but I stopped him.

Erika: don't jake it's better off if she leaves.
Jake: I want her-
Erika: Jake. I know you love her but he best thing to do is get rid of her she's no good.
Jake: *sighs* your right.
Erika: look, you deserve better.

I hug him. Ugh I love this kid so much. He barely hugs back. I look up at him and start slowly leaning in. He's just staring at me. Our lips are about to touch but he pulls out of the hug and walks into the bathroom. He closes the door on me. Shit. What did I do? Did I really try kissing him. After that? Holy shit. Why'd I do that.

Jakes POV: she tried kissing me, after she basically made Alissa break up with me. I love Alissa. But I guess it is the right thing for Alissa to leave me. She said that doesn't mean she's gone. Does that mean she's coming back? Now I feel bad for rejecting Erika. She's just trying to help. I have all these cuts on my wrists. I did that to myself. For loving Alissa. I'm beat up. By her. And Erikas trying to help. But if I open that door she's probably gonna be gone. I opened it. She was there. She was standing by the door with a frown. I grabbed her and held her in my arms. She was squeezing onto my cuts on my sides. She didn't know but I didn't care though. Pulled back and looked into her eyes. I leaned in. I kissed her. She didn't pull back. After like 2 seconds I pulled back and let go of her. Something didn't feel right. I was scared to be with her. Or anyone. I backed up slowly and fell onto my bed. I cover my face with my hands.

Erikas POV: he got it of the bathroom and kissed me. It felt right. He pulled back with fear all over his face. Then it hit me, he's scared to love. Of course. She just broke up with him. Who knows where she's at. And I tried kissing him. He's fucked up. He's scared and I wouldn't blame him. She abused him. He didn't know what to do. He's just a kid. I sit right next to him and start lightly rubbing his back.

Erika: I'm sorry
Jake:...no don't be sorry.
Erika: I understand though I would be scared too.

I hug him. He flinched in pain. I pulled back and looked at him with a confused look. I tried pulling up his shirt to see what was wrong. He wouldn't let me.

Erika: Jake, take off your shirt.
Jake: n-no
Erika: Jake.

Jake starts pulling off his shirt slowly. He had fear in his face. I gasp by looking at him. Cuts, scratches, bruises, marks. It's all horrible. He has cuts in his wrist.

Erika: j-Jake oh my god.

I start lightly touching his cuts on his wrists.

Erika: did you do that to yourself? cause yesterday I saw you trying to until I walked in jake.

Jake slightly nodded his head in disappointment.

Erika: and she did that rest?

Jake nodded his head again, this time his eyes are full of tears.

Jake: I'm a worthless shit, I just wanna die.
Erika: Jake. You are not worthless, you may feel like that because Alissa made you feel like that, but trust me your sensational. Your worth it. You don't want to die, your just scared to love. And it's okay jake. I'm here for you. Even when she's not.
Jake: your right. Th-thanks.
Erika: you need to eat, you haven't ate.
Jake: okay.
Jake: I don't wanna go.
Erika: well you need some food in you.

Jake grabbed his shirt put it back on and laid down.

Jake: I'm gonna take a nap.
Erika: I'll be here.
