Loving Mr. Jerk

CHAPTER 10

Kinsley's POV:
Right as the front door clicked signaling that Theo was out of the house, Jack lunged at me with his hands on my throat. "You whore, parading yourself to teen boys. I never took you for the type but I guess only they can bring that side of you, huh?" He says putting more pressure into my throat. I couldn't breath. I couldn't think. Well, except for one thing. Death. That's the only thing that I think when I'm around Jack. Sometimes I just wanna die and leave this hell hole when he is here. But I couldn't do that to my mom, it would break her heart if she lost me too. My thoughts are broken when I feel myself being dragged by my hair. "Stand up, you bitch! Stand by the wall right now!" He yells while pushing me to the kitchen wall. Confused, I slowly walked to the wall and turn around and face him. "Undress except your underwear. Right now." He says calmly while opening the fridge and looking for something. I quickly undress as I didn't want to be more punished than I was already going to be. I hear a thud sound come from Jack direction and see that he is taking stacks of beers. To be honest, I'm surprised that I didn't remember sooner about this. He used to do this frequently but when summer started, he stopped as he didn't want anyone suspecting why I was wearing long sleeves in the middle of summer. In all honesty, it isn't as bad as it used to be. That's a lie but I keep telling myself that to comfort myself. "You ready BABY GIRL?" He says mockingly. "That boy of yours won't want you when he finds out how damaged goods you are. How broken you are by ME!" He says smiling proudly. "Now let's get this party started." He says jumping like a little girl. He slowly walks to the stacks of beer and grabs one. He brings it all the way to the back of his head and throws it with as much force as possible. CRASH. Is all I could hear. PAIN. It is what I felt everywhere and the trickle of blood oozing from the cuts everywhere. After what felt like an eternity, he finally stopped. "Don't feel relieved yet, you still have to clean this mess before your lover boy gets here. So chop chop, you have 40 minutes do so or we will be having Round 2 later tonight." He says smiling sickly while waving at my like a little child. I stood there, trembling, hurting, longing, and numb. I slowly start picking piece by piece into my hand and that's how it went for the next 30 minutes. "You have about 10 minutes or so before that annoying boy gets here. So clean yourself and you better cover those cuts well, cause if he finds out, well let's just say he won't be doing so as good as he is now" He says taping his watch repeatedly. I waddle up the stairs very slowly and 3 minutes I finally made it to the bathroom. I took each piece of glass one by one and then took a shower, after I put some ointments and medicine. Wrapped my whole body with a gauze and then put layers of clothes so my cuts wouldn't hurt much. Just as I finished, I hear loud footsteps going up the stairs. I tensed and trembled thinking it was Jack again, but to my relief, it was just Theo. "Hey." He says smiling widely with his hands on his back. "Hey" I said smiling widely back at him. "Are you not going to ask me what's behind my back, Ms. Peter?" Theo says stepping closer until my face right in front of his chest. "What is behind your back, Mr. William?" I say teasingly while raising my eyebrows. "Well, if you look at that, it's right behind your ear." His hand comes from behind him and tucks a piece of hair behind my ear. In the process, he undangles to what seem like a necklace from the palm of his hand. "This is for you baby girl. This is to remind you that I will always be with you no matter where I am. Would you turn around for me?" He whispers huskily in my ear. "Y..yeah" I say blushing. He brings the necklace around my neck and clip it in the back. I look down and finally see a beautiful emerald green necklace, with gold detailing. My eyes water as I think of how not even an hour ago I was been beaten by bottles of beer and here he is making forget about it by a nice lovable gesture. "Thank you Theo, you have no idea how much this means to me." I say looking at him with my heart swelling with joy. "I feel the same way, baby girl." He says giving me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. I think I'm truly falling for Theo William.
