"Natalie! It's 8:15. School bells are ringing in 20 minutes, I'm gonna kill you!" Garret yelled at her from the bottom of the staircase
"Oh fuck, Coming!" Natalie looks at her phone 0%. Great.
She gets up and heads out in her pajama shorts, a sweatshirt, ties her hair in a bun and rushes down the stairs"Hey guys" Lacy sits down at lunch with Garret and Natalie.
Bing! Bing! Lacy's phone dings like that a few times before she opens her phone and smiles
"Oh? Looks who's smitten" Garret says cheeky smiling at her
"Uh huh please, you wouldn't know what that looks like Garret" Lacy snaps back looking annoyed with a flash of embarrassment in her eyes
"So who's the mystery guy?" Natalie tries to peek over at her phone but she pulls it away real quick
"Uh you guys wouldn't know him, I can't tell you" Lacy's eyes dart back and forth between her phone and Natalie and Garret. Lacy's phone starts to ring so she gets up and walks out of the cafeteria to take it
Suddenly someone comes up behind Natalie and puts their hands on her shoulders. She jumps and gasps before turning around to see that Jack is there laughing at her reaction as he high
fives Garret.
"Yo Garret it's been awhile sense I've talked to you hasn't it?" Jack says while sitting across from both of them
"Yeah I guess so, we only talked a little in middle school and that was the last time" Garret shrugs and looks
at Natalie waiting for her to make things not so awkward
"So Jack wanna come over for homework like Wednesday?" She looks up at him smiling waiting for a response, he grins back
"Yeah that sounds perfect"When Natalie is walking to her locker
"Natalie!" She hears very faint, she turns around to see who it is she sees Jack walking down the hallway towards her
With a smirk he says "ready for your favorite time of the day?" Natalie looks at him puzzled
"And what would that time be?" He frowns
"Your ride home with me obviously" Jack says that with a big grin waiting for her to respond or smile
"Yeah sure" She smiles giving him that satisfaction
They walk to his car and start driving home, when they arrive Natalie's mom says "Hey Nat, just a quick word?" She doesn't look mad so she doesn't think she's in trouble so she walks over to her
"Are you and Jack a thing?" She asks quietly
Natalie blushes uncontrollably, she's confused why she is so that makes her more red "No not yet, I guess we'll see"
Her mom smiles big
"Then I guess I'll leave the two of y'all alone" she elbows her
Natalie motions to Jack to come upstairs into her room. She puts down her backpack and starts getting out her math folder so they can start, she suddenly feels Jack looking at her so she looks up and sees him looking at her with such overwhelming lust it catches her off guard
"Why're you looking at me like that?" She stands upright but before she gets an answer from him, he pulls her into a kiss. Putting his hands on her back and into her hair, she grips his back.
He takes off his shirt and starts to lift hers when she pulls away
"Oh I don't think I want that yet" Natalie says kinda uncomfortable
"C'mon I think you're ready" he goes back into the kiss holding her tighter than before, he tries again at lifting up her shirt when she gives him a strong push
"Hey my mom is downstairs, I don't want to do this." She gives him a serious look
"My mom is barely ok with me having you up here"
His expression changes. From lust to anger. He grabs both of her wrists hard
"She's not gonna hear a thing if you keep quiet" he kisses her again not letting go of her wrists.
Natalie is fighting hard but the grip he has on her wrists hurts so bad she doesn't want to move.
He successfully takes her shirt off this time and frees a hand for a second to throw it down. She wiggles out of his grip
"What is wrong with you?!" She yells at him, her face completely red from struggling
"What's the matter with you? I know you want me. That's the only reason I hung out with you in the first
place, you're a piece of ass" He yelled back. Hearing that stunned her.
"Get out of my house" she said with no emotion
"Not until I get what I want" He was fuming at this point, his fists in a ball. Natalie was suddenly scared out of her mind
Jack lunges at her shorts and unties them, he forces them down scratching her legs ripping skin. She yells from pain but he quickly covers her mouth.
She kicks him in the stomach and he falls backwards onto the ground, she bursts through her room door and down the stairs to her mother. She was covered in sweat and trembling and only in her underwear, she forced herself into the arms of her mom
"Honey are you ok?!" She hears Jack thundering down the stairs
He sees them and stands in the doorframe shirtless and panting
"Jack I'd like you to leave" Mom says
He storms out and slams the door, Natalie bursts into tears and explains the entire mess to her mom. When she's done she goes back upstairs and takes a shower.Natalie Katsburry : Garret? I need you to come over
Garret Hallsworth : Sure I'll be there in a sec. you ok?
Natalie Kasburry : I'll explain once you get here
"He really did that?" Garret was shocked, he was starting to trust Jack too
"I was so scared he was actually going to get me" She said still shaken up
Garret hugs her and assures it'll be ok
"Want me to sleep over? I can go get the air mattress from my house" He says full of concern or sincerity, she couldn't really tell
"Yeah please"
