Bullied, Scarred, and Hated (A TeamCrafted and JeromeASF fanfiction)

Chapter 4

Parker's POV

I quickly stepped back and looked at Jerome. I was in shock. Did he kiss me out if guilt? Did he like me? All these thoughts were going through my head.

"I'm sorry! I shouldn't have done that!" He said.

He was clearly embarrassed and I chuckled at his expression in my head. My body starts to move before my head can catch up and before I know it I press my lips against his.

He tenses up but quickly relaxes and put his hands on my hips as he kisses me back. I felt heat as he moved his hand to the small of my back and pulled me closer to him.

When we pull away he wipes the semi dry tears from my face and smiles at me. I smile back and it fells like the first time I've really smile in the past 5 years.

"So are we a thing now?" He asks me. His eyes full of hope.

"I think we are," I smile at him.

"Well then, will you go on a date with me tonight?"

My heart flutters and I nod at him.

"I'll pick you up at 5 then?" He asks.

"Yeah, sounds good!" I respond.

I hear yelling as Jerome sighs.

"I better get back down there before they come up here."

I nod. I want him to stay up here longer but I don't want to deal with the rest of the guys. He pecks my lips before exiting the room.

Now is when I start freaking out and acting like an idiot. I check the clock. 2:30. I was asleep for a long time.

I decide to call my only friend Elle. I had no idea what to wear or anything. This was my first date. She tells me she will be over soon and I start to clean my room a bit. When I hear the doorbell I go downstairs and open the door ignoring the stares from the guys.

Elle is known for having good outfits. She could make just about any article of clothing look good. She was the only person I trusted. She knew about my dad and TeamCrafted.

My semi-clean room is no longer semi clean. My floors were covered in dresses and other outfits. She pulled out a mint green maxi skirt, a grey tank top, and a white denim jacket. It was perfect. It was cute and would cover my bruises and cuts.

After I was changed she put on minimal make-up and straightened my hair. I felt good about my self for once. I looked at the clock. It read 4:58. I decide to go outside and wait. I snuck out the back entrance and walked around to the front of the house and sat on the bench on the side of the road.

After about 5 minutes, Jerome pulled into the driveway. He stepped out of the car and looked up and down my body. I felt slightly uncomfortable but was distracted she Jerome started talking.

"You look beautiful," he smiled at me.

"As do you," I smiled back. "Well you don't look beautiful you look handsome."

He chuckled at me and opened the car door. It had a leather interior.

"How do you have such a nice car in high school?" I questioned.

"YouTube can pay a lot."

I knew my brother was paid through YouTube but I didn't think he made a lot.

"So where are we going?" I asked him.

"You'll see!" He smirked.

I rested back into the seat and noticed myself studying Jerome's facial features. The way his cheeks bones rose when he smiled. How his eyes brighten when a song he knew came on.

Jerome took me to Applebee's for dinner and then to a park. He led me to a willow tree near the car. There was a picnic table and a broken light. I was about to ask Jerome what we are doing but he picked me up by my waist and set me on top of the picnic table.

He sat beside me and wrapped a protective arm around me. I leaned my head against his shoulder and he rested his head in mine. His short, warm breaths made my body heat up inside. I never felt this way for anyone before. I've also never had a boyfriend before.

He moved my head softly with his thumb to face him. We stared into each other's eyes for a bit before I leaned in and kissed him. Without hesitation he kissed me back. Fire spread through my veins. I felt alive for once.

When we released I rested my head in his shoulder again. I quickly checked my phone. It is 9:37. I didn't realize it was that late. My dad would be home by now!

"We should probably head back now," I said showing him the time.

"Sadly we should," he agreed.

We went back to the car and started the drive home. When we pulled into the driveway we both just stayed there. I didn't want to get out. I didn't want to leave Jerome and I didn't want to face my father.

"So do you want to come over to my place tomorrow?" Jerome said breaking the silence.

"Yeah. That sounds good!" I said.

I finally made myself get out of the car after we gave each other our numbers. I walked up to the front door and opened the door. There was no sight of my father or my brother. I closed the door and started up the stairs when I heard footsteps I turned around to see not my father or my brother but a tall and muscular man.

He looked like he had taken drugs and just about anything bad for you. He smirked at me and licked his lips. I felt awkward but I couldn't get my feet to do anything.

"Your dad owes me some money. I came here to get it but you'll be fine,"

He came up to me and violently pushed me against the wall. I tried to fight back but I stopped dead in my tracks when he started to pull my shirt off. I then knew his intentions. He wanted to rape me.
