Dangerous. // J.C //

Chapter 16

"To ask you to officially be my girlfriend." 

My eyes widen at Jc. 
He wants me to be his girlfriend? No, he doesn't.. does he? 
I sat there frozen, I didn't know what to say. This is crazy but I did want this for a while and now that its here, I'm having second thoughts about being his girlfriend. 
I mean, his anger, his past. All these things that would be in my life too if I'm his girlfriend, well its already in my life but still. 
But if I really liked him, I'll overcome his past and love him for him. 

"I will." I smiled small, looking down at my plate of food and Jc lifted my chin up, pressing his lips against mine softly and this time the kiss was slow and it was nice, it made butterflies burst in my stomach and it was a different feeling than the other kisses because this time, I actually know that he's mine.. 
He pulled away with a big smile on his face then started to eat. After a few minutes of silence, mostly of us eating, it felt like someone was staring at us. So, I looked around the room and my eyes landed on someone I really didn't expect to see... Liam...

He stared at me for a few seonds then smirked, looking away. Holy shit. 

If you're wondering who Liam is. 
He is my ex-boyfriend. We dated like a few years ago and he was honestly the biggest ass hole ever. He had anger issues too but it was more serious than Jc's. Liam would get really angry and he would always take it out on me, Like Jc. But Jc would stop after he saw me hurt. Liam didn't stop. He wouldn't let me leave the house or let me use my phone. But I eventually got away and it was honestly the best day ever when I left and now that he's here, made my stomach drop and my heart stop beating. I was frozen again, I felt like the whole world turned upside down and the past flashes through my eyes. God, I hate him. 

"Lex?" Jc said a few times before I actually looked at him. He had a worry face but also a confused one, I guess I zoned out for a while. I faked a smile then continued eating but Jc still stared at me confused. He's gonna ask what's wrong and I honestly don't want to tell him about my life story.. yet. I would like to tell him since Liam is here but this is our first official date and why would I ruin that?

After we got home, we just sat on the couch in sweat pants and a t-shirt, watching a movie. I wasn't really too happy about this movie but Jc wanted to watch it so, I have to. 
I wasn't really paying attention, more like zoning out again about the whole 'I ran into Liam' thing and it terrified me. What if he found out where I lived? Cuz I'm pretty damn sure he's angry with me and wants me to come back. 
The thought of being back with him frightens me and without realizing, I hold onto Jc tighter. I prayed that he wouldn't find me again. I mean, I'm barely 21 years old. Well, almost 22 and the fact that almost 2 years of my life were mostly being abused by this... 25 year old fucking annoys me.

"You alright?" Jc snapped me out of my thoughts by poking my arm a few time and I nodded, avoiding eye contact. I laid my head on his chest, trying to ignore his stare but I can still feel him staring for a while. Finally, I peeked up at him and he frowned. 
"Is something bothering you? You've been off since the date." I turned around so I was facing him and he gave me a questioning look. 

"I have something to tell you.." I quietly said, watching him nod then I took a deep breath, "When I was 16, I dated this guy. He was like 3 years older than me and he was super sweet until his mom died and he was a huge mamas boy. So, he got angry and I tried so hard to calm him down but that just made him more angry then he started to take his anger out on me. For almost two years, he abused me and he wouldn't let me get out of the house because I was covered in so many bruises, he wouldn't even let me use my own phone. So, after a while I finally got out and ran away. And at the place, he was there staring at us and it made me uneasy because I know he's angry with me and I know he wants me to come back home." I sighed, my eyes starting to water up just thinking about what he did to me. I've never been so hurt in my life and the worst part was to think that you can't call for help or that you might even get killed one day by him. It scarred me and that's why I had trust issues. 

"I wouldn't let him get you, I promise you that. He's an ass hole to just abuse you like that and if he tries to get you, I swear I'll beat the shit out of him." Jc wrapped his arms around me, pulling me closer to him. He was tensed up about it, I can see that he hated seeing me hurt and seeing me cry. He hates it and I know he won't let it happen again. Jc pecked my lips, resting his head on top of mine. I smiled, hugging him. 

"Just don't kill him, though." I mumbled against his shoulder and I heard him chuckle, tightening his grip around me. 
"I promise that I won't kill him." I nodded, closing my eyes but I didn't believe him. He promised me he wouldn't kill Ricky and Sam and oh what happened? He killed them. 
"Jc, I'm serious. Please don't kill him, just take him to the police or something." I looked up at him and he nooded. 

"I promise you, I will."
