I wake up to feel arms wrapped around me. I turn my head to see it was Cody. I couldn't remember much from last night. What I did remember I didn't want to remember. I gently slip out of Cody's arms and here my phone ringing. I looked around my room and found it under a shirt.
"Hello?" I say.
"Hey, Jen its Jade I just wanted to let you know that I think those guys have left town so you don't have anything to worry about," Jade replies.
"Thanks," I say.
"How have you been Jen." He says.
"Been shit honestly life kind of sucks right now," I reply
"Just remember you always got me if you need someone." He replies as he hangs up the phone.
Since I was in short sleeves I figured Cody must know about my self-harm. I am so mad that he knows now. He must hate me.
"Goodmorning Jen." I hear Cody say as he sat up.
I decided to just sit on the ground in silence. I honestly didn't know what to say. I have no idea what I told him last night or what he saw. Cody got out of bed and came and sat next to me.
"Last night was in the past, anything you did or said last night I won't use against you." He says.
"I'm so sorry Cody I honestly didn't mean for all that to happen, I don't know what happened I'm sorry for not telling you anything and pushing you away," I say.
"There's no need to be sorry Jen you were doing what you thought was right. Today you can just relax and ill stay with you, today I'm not leaving no matter what you say, you can't be alone." Cody replies.
I nod my head in understanding.
The next day I knew I needed to go to school, even with all these bad things happening I needed to graduate this school year. On Friday Cody brought home all the work I missed. I decided to occupy my time with catching up with my work instead of thinking of last night. Cody stayed and watched over me all day. He wouldn't even let me use the bathroom with the door shut.
Cody's POV
I made sure I had an eye on her at all times. I was terrified that she would do something to hurt herself. At school tomorrow I knew it was going to be harder to keep an eye on her. I'm making sure she goes tomorrow. I'm still having a hard time wrapping my mind around Jens behaviors.
Jens POV.
As night came Cody was insisting I head to bed but I was determined to get my biology done tonight.
"It's already ten o'clock if you don't go to bed your not going to want to get up in the morning," Cody says.
"Its fine Cody this should only take me ten or twenty more minutes," I assure.
I was very tired but I wasn't going to admit it which resulted in me falling asleep at my desk.
Cody's POV
I wake up to see Jen asleep at her desk. She was really determined to get her work done and I was proud of her for that. I walk over and gently shake her awake.
"Hey, Jen its time to get ready for school," I say.
She sits up and adjusts her eyes to the sunlight.
Jens POv
I stayed up too late last night and Cody was right I didn't want to get ready. Despite me having no motivation I got up and dressed for school. A couple minutes later Cody and I walked out to the car and got in and were on our way to school. I was nervous just of the fact of the possibility of running into Kile which Cody still didn't know about. When we arrived at the school the bell rang so Cody and I went our separate ways to our designated classes. The morning was fairly boring while as the afternoon came it was time for lunch. I did a sack lunch today because I didn't feel like paying for lunch. I got to my locker and got my lunch out and headed to the cafeteria. The halls were empty because I was late for lunch from staying after class to discuss my homework with my teacher. I was in high hopes of not running into Kile but I knew that scenario was too good to be true. I turn around to see him following me at a quicker pace.
"Leave me the fuck alone Kile, I don't want to deal with your idiocy today," I say.
"Do you really think I care." He replies.
He grabs me by the arm which must have reopened some wounds because I began to feel the warm blood seeping through my bandages.
"Why do you feel the need to be such a dick!" I say angrily while trying to pull away.
"You know why." He replies.
There was a matter I never went into. So long ago in elementary Kile and Cody were the best of friends but when I came into the picture Cody kind of ditched Kile do Kile has had an immature grudge against me ever since. Which seems fair but I still don't want to deal with his bullshit. He began dragging me to the schoolyard and threw me into the dirt.
"It's about time you get the taste of your own medicine." He says as he began kicking me with much force.
I curled up in the fetal position hoping that would help me but it did no good. Then it all stopped which was weird, I didn't know that Kile had self-control. I open my eyes to see that Cody pulled Kile away from me and was, in fact, putting Kile in the position that I was in. Kile got up and ran back inside the school. Cody rushed over and helped me up. I will most definitely have bruises on me in the morning. My wounds on my arms had definitely reopened from the trauma Kile afflicted on me, my sleeves were soaking in blood.
Cody walked me in silence to his car. He began to drive in the direction of his house.
