The Dancer And The Badboy (Completed)

Chapter 21

The next day I woke up five minutes before Taylor was gonna come by and pick me up. I freaked out.

I showered,brushed my teeth and got ready in two minutes. After changing into my outfit for the day I rushed downstairs,grabbed a toast and ran towards the door not before saying goodbye to both my parents.

I opened my door and there she was, a pissed Taylor. She was just outside my door,her hand in the air as if she was going to knock on the door. She was fuming.

"You idiot! I was waiting for 15 minutes!" She yelled and took my arm and guided me towards her car while grumbling some not so pleasant words under breath.

"Sorry!" I whispered in a baby voice. "I got up late today." She rolled her eyes at that but did not say anything.

We pulled up at the school after a silent car ride. We were about to get out of her car when I spotted something at my right.

Right diagonal to Taylor's car was Jake's car. He was standing in front of his car with none other than MADISON.

Cool.

They were arguing and Jake looked terribly upset. Taylor saw me looking and she followed.

"Cool sight." She mumbled. I rolled my eyes at her sarcasm.

We got out and just as we did that,Madison spoke her final words to Jake and shashayed away with her head high. Jake looked frustrated. He banged his hand lightly on his car hood with annoyance.

Automatically I walked towards him. Taylor saw me and followed me to him.

He had his face in his hands. I touched his arm softly. He looked up immediately. His dark,angry eyes softened when he saw that it was me. He looked really disturbed and upset.

"You okay?" I asked. Then almost slapped myself, obviously he is not okay. Way to excel Clarissa.

He nodded his head in a yes but his eyes showed a complete different story. They were dark,more than usual showing his anger and he was really tense.

Taylor cleared her throat. We both looked at her. "I am gonna go. Sam is waiting for me." She nodded at me slightly then gave Jake a last,kinda sympathetic look then walked away. Things between her and Sam were getting better and I was happy for it.

"What happened? I know that something is bothering you." I asked as I leaned on his car and faced him.

His eyes scanned my face then stopped at my eyes. He exhaled loudly then started to talk. He had a tired,defeated look on his face. "Madison wants me to get together with her. Even when I have told her hundreds of times that I don't want to. She has been kind of threatening me and reminding me of my...the baby. And that has been upsetting me so much. That memory is still too sour and fresh for me and whenever I see her,talk to her it rushes back. And it feels like I am going to reach my breaking point soon if it continues." His voice cracked a little at the end. His voice was raspy,spilling out his raw feelings. My heart went out for him.

I did not know what to say so I just took his hand and walked towards the driver's seat of his car. He looked at me with puzzled eyes.

"You okay with skipping some classes?" I asked as I took his keys from his other hand. He nodded, confusion still on his face.

I opened the passenger door for him and helped him in. "After you sir." I said in a heavy,professional voice. An amused look took over his face, his lips twitched slightly. After that I ran towards the driver's seat very ungracefully and sat down.

Jake taught me how to drive in this very car so I was very comfortable with driving here and he didn't ever object because according to him I was a very good driver.

"Where you taking me?" He asked as he saw me pull out of the driveway.

"Wait and watch mister." And with that we pulled out of the school parking lot.

"How long has it been since you drove by yourself ?" Jake asked with slight panic in his voice. A hand on his heart.

I gave him a strained smile. "Don't doubt my driving skills. Learnt from the best now haven't I ?"

Jake rolled his eyes at my sarcasm.

After we left the school behind, I almost ran into a trash can by the side of the road because of the cat that was there on the middle of the road. But Jake claims that he didn't see one.

A cat was really there, Jake is just blind.

After driving for 10 minutes I pulled up to the door to heaven. Literally.

That was the name of our favorite ice cream shop. The door to heaven. They had the best ice creams in the world. When Jake saw where we are he rolled his eyes at me but a small smile danced on his lips.

"Come on Jake! Time to sulk and eat!" I said excitedly. He just chuckled at my behavior.

The door to heaven was our mood improvement place. Whenever he or I were in a bad mood, we would drive here and eat our feelings out. He found this place. I had a very bad day so he took me out and found this ice cream shop. After that day we came here every time someone was sad or angry or in a bad mood.

I gave Jake his car keys back as we walked up to the entrance. It was a small and cosy shop with pink interior. A kind, old lady looked after this shop.

Jake opened the door for me as we entered. I smiled at him. The slight sweet smell of ice creams greeted me. My mouth immediately began to water.
