Bulletproof Love

Chapter 13: Bulletproof Love

~Vic's POV~

The tour was going good. We played a show Monday and Tuesday. Both went pretty amazing. On stage everything was all good and fun but I couldn't help but worry and miss Jenna all day. We had been texting all the time but I didn't know if her words were the truth every time she told me she was fine.

I spent most of Wednesday morning chatting with Jenna's mom. We were discussing Jenna's surprise party. We decided that it was going to happen at the beach.

Mrs. May and I spent about half an hour working out all of the details of Jenna's birthday present. I was going to take her on the rest of tour with me. Mrs. May had talked to all of Jenna's teachers and they were preparing the work she would be missing for a month. I am so excited I really hope she says yes. A whole month of waking up next to that beautiful face!

Once I was done talking to Mrs. May and hung up the phone, I couldn't stop thinking about Jenna. I know she should be in class but I decided to text her anyways.

To: Jenna<3

Goodmorning Sunshine J Hope your day is going okay :*

Not even a whole minute after I sent the text she was calling me. I pick up on the first ring, so excited to hear her beautiful voice. "Shouldn't you be in class young lady?" I asked trying to sound like she was in trouble. But when she spoke, she was crying. Oh my poor baby seemed so upset. I tried to talk to her and make her feel better but those fucking kids brought back all the memories. Jenna's father left on this day 4 years ago and she blames herself. I just wanted to wrap my arms around her and make all the pain go away. No one should ever think like that. She hates herself and it's all because those kids can't keep their stupid mouths shut.

I talked to Jenna a little longer about just random things that were happening trying to distract her from the feelings, I think she felt better by the end of it.

Over the next hour I send Jenna countless amounts of texts, but she didn't reply to any of them. 'Maybe she just turned her phone off, or is paying attention in class' I told myself. I felt so worried after awhile, I decided to call Mrs. May.

"Hello Victor" She said kindly

"Hi Mrs. May, umm I was wondering if you have heard from Jenna in the past hour?"

"No I haven't, but I believe she is at home, I got an email from the school saying she didn't attend last class. Why? Is something wrong?" Concern rising in her voice.

"Well, I don't know but She called me an hour ago really upset, some kids at school made a comment about her dad and she said it brought back the memories. I'm just really worried about her" I said honestly with a sigh.

"Oh dear, today is the anniversary, I forgot. Jenna always blamed herself for him leaving. I know that she was never able to let it go after all this time. Oh dear do you think she would go to the extremes that Cassidy did?!" Mrs. May was starting to panic, there was clearly a lot of pain I didn't know about hidden in their house.

"she wouldn't do that" I tried to reassure Mrs. May but it only made me think about how Jenna is alone right now and didn't promise me she wouldn't cut, only agreed to try. "Could you go and check on her?" I asked trying not to show my worry.

"Yes, I'm on my way home now, I'll call you later. Bye Victor."

Oh god Jenna please be alright. I can't stand being so far away from you and not knowing.

~Mrs. May's POV~

Jenna please be okay, please, please, please don't do anything. I was driving home forgetting about the speed limits, I needed to get there as soon as possible. After another 5 minutes I rushed out of my car and into the house. "Jenna?" "Jenna are you home?" I called into the house. Silence, no answer. I ran upstairs into her room and noticed her phone on the bed. I looked around the room and noticed the bathroom door was shut. I took a breath before running to open it. The door flung open and there she was, my beautiful baby was on the floor, covered in blood. "Jenna no! Please open your eyes" I was pleading, "It's me, your mommy, baby I need you please open your eyes." Tears were streaming down my face. The pain was too much, I can't lose my daughter, not again.
