THE NERD AND THE BADBOY

Chapter 37 {PART 1}.

TOBYS POV

I didn't know how to start or where to start at. I also didn't just want to blur things out and confuse her. Even if it will effect her in some way, I know that it'll be better than keeping it a secret and her finding out in some other type of way. If she had a secret I would like her telling me herself than some random person telling me about it. 

It isn't much about how she will know everything about me, is mostly about how she will see me now. Will she judge me? Or will she comprehend on my pass? Theirs so many things that could happened. 

As I was trying to think of the right words to say and not make anything worst then it will be. I see her scoot closer to me and put one of her hands on my arm. 

"You don't have to tell me anything Toby. You can tell me when your ready." I knew she was half-lying. I could see the curiosity in her eyes. Even in the darkness I could see her beautiful hazel eyes sparkling from the moonlight shinning on her beautiful face. 

"But, it isn't right. I doesn't feel right. You have no clue on who I am on the inside. You only see the guy that everyone sees. The guy who has a powerful father. They guy that skips class and doesn't get in trouble. The guy that smokes. The guy that goes to street fights. The guy who was new in the middle of Sophomore year and everybody liked him when he first stepped in to the school." I turned my whole body around to get a real good look at her. "I don't want you seeing me as that guy. I want you to see the guy that I have hidden from everyone else." 

I was met with silence for a while. "I've seen some of your true colors. Not all the time but when your around Nathan, Dash, and Roman, it's when I spot it the most. You just don't realize when your drop your act. I know that you have a soft spot when it came to your friends, even if they drive you crazy. I know that your really competitive when it comes to video games. You love your mom and your sister even if they drive you as nuts as your friends. You hate it when anyone brings your dad up in a conversation, sorry."

I shook my head in amusement. "Well, I guess you already know somethings." I turned on my back once again and focused on the starts that were shinning above us. 

I felt her search for my hand and squeeze it tight, which I returned.

"When I was about seven years old I met this girl names Jasmine. She was a beautiful eight year old girl that I had met at a park that my mom took me and my sister everyday after school. She was mean to me at first because I wouldn't get off the swing when she wanted to use it. I enjoyed the first few first seconds of seeing her mad, but all of that finished when she went in back of me and pushed me off the swing. Everytime.

"But thats how our friendship started. I must admit that I had a crush on her for a few weeks but I guess I was to obvious about it that she confronted me about it. She called it "talking" but all she really did was kick me in the balls and yelled at me for liking a girl bigger than me. She told me that it was forbidden that best friends like each other. 

"I didn't know we where best friends but once she said it, I knew that those emotions had to go away, eventually they did. She thought me how to ignore people I didn't like and how to get bullies of my back. When I turned ten I had met Roman, and Nate. They joined me and Jasmine to lunch everyday and we became a small little group that no one messed with. Jasmine was older than all of us but we were overprotective of her, especially me.

"Dash joined us later in the freshman year and he fell in love with Jasmine but he got the same warning. His heart took about a month to cure and he couldn't face Jasmine that whole time.  He took her to homecoming and that got him stratified. By that time we were all working for my dad. Except Jasmine. We couldn't possibly let her know."

"What does your dad do?" I heard her ask. 

How do I put this? "A drug dealer." It's better to be bluntly then putting it in different ways. 

From the corner of my eyes I see her nodding as if she already knew that. I'm not surprised though. Mostly everyone at school knows what I do. 

"My dad later found out about Jasmine and wanted her to work for him. He threaten to kill her, like he killed his own mother with no mercy for almost telling the cops about where his companies where located. Of course me and the guy got in the way. We didn't want her dealing with all the danger, even if she was the definition of it." I chuckled, remembering some of the moments in the past.

"Jasmine found out what had been happening and to get us back for not telling her-"

"She joined." Veronica finished my sentence. 

I nodded at her and looked back up. "Yeah, she accepted my fathers request and became on of the best dealers. She became distant from me and the guys and just focused on getting all the orders and money correctly for my father. She was even getting addicted to it herself. My father saw this and pushed it harder for her. She didn't need know that he was doing this for his own pleasure. Me and the guys did our best to tell her but she just wouldn't listen.

"During Sophomore year she had stopped going to school and we had gotten a call from her parents that she ran away. We later found out that she was caught by police man. She killed one of them and pepper sprayed the other one but another one was just arriving with more cars behind. They had managed to get her and lock her up. Shes been there ever since." 

I closed my eyes and remembered the phone call I had received from her saying that she wanted to stay there. That she didn't belong anywhere else and that we shouldn't bail her out.

"How long?" Veronica whispered. 

"She didn't tell us how long it was. Thats why we had to move. We didn't want people to ask questions on what had happened to her. Everyone knew that we were the only people she talked to. Dash, Nate, and Roman all had agreements with their parents. Their parents knew what they did but they don't care." 

"Theirs something I want to ask but-"

"What is it?" I ask her softly.

"What happened between you and John?" She said each word carefully. 

I chuckled loudly on that one. "Hes over dramatic. He's just scared that I will tell someone a secret of his that only I know. You should have seen his face when I caught him. 

"Can I know?" I turned to Veronica and saw her giving me some innocent eyes. And then my pants began to get tight. Dang, why does she do that. 

"Hes g-"

"Look inside. The doors are open. You two go around the building." I heard a voice yell from the bottom.

I stood up and walked to the edge of the building. Two police cars where cornering my car. I walked back to Veronica and helped her up. "Get ready to run." I told her with a smirk. 

"W-What do you mean?" She asked looking around frantically for something or someone to pop out of nowhere. 

"The cops are here." 

"Oh no." I heard her murmur.
