Ms. Popular's Secret

Chapter 11

I couldn't believe Kacey was having an affair with Jill's father that's disgusting. I mean how could she do that to one of her best friends. I know Kacey or Stacey doesn't know where Jill actually lives but I wonder how Kacey met Marcus. Those questions will be left unanswered. As for now Jill is my main priority. My mom fell asleep on the couch and I went to bed. Before I went to sleep I got down on my knees and I started to pray out loud.

"Heavenly Father I would like to thank you for seeing yet another day. Lord, I pray for Jill. I ask that you may lay your healing hands upon her, bless her and protect her. I need her in my life. She has so much to live for. I know she's a fighter but I know she needs some extra strength to continue fighting and I know you're the only one that can give it to her. I would also like to pray for my mother. I pray that you may help her get out of that dark place that she's in right now and I ask that you many open up my heart so that I can eventually forgive her. These things I ask in your precious name I pray. Amen." I laid on my bed and I soon fell into slumber.

The thing that was on my mind when I woke up was Jill. I know we had to present today and it kills me that she's not here today. I took a shower and I got dressed then I went downstairs to make breakfast. While walking down the stairs the tantalizing aroma of bacon and eggs filled my nose. The moment I slide into my chair I'm served an enormous platter of food. Eggs, ham and piles of fried potatoes. A plate of fresh fruits sat nicely in front of me. The basket of rolls my mother sat before me could feed an entire country. There was also two boxes of juice, apple and orange.

"Wow what's all this?" I asked my mom.

"I know I haven't been acting like your mother in a very long time and I wanted to apologize and start fresh. I'll be gone for two months. I'm going to rehab and I'm going to come back clean and sober. I promise you that I will be the best mom ever."

I smiled as I took a bite of the rolls. I really missed all those delicious foods my mom used to make. When I was younger I used to help my mom and my dad bake cake all the time. It was one of the things we liked to do together.

"This is delicious mom. Thank you."

She smiled. "Eat up you're going to be late for school." I grabbed a few rolls and the plate of fruits and I gave my mom a quick hug before I left. I know she won't be home by the time I get back from school but all I cared about right now is seeing Jill. I got to school and I headed straight to my locker. I took out our English essay and I headed to class. I got to the class first and I took my sit. Mr. Albert came in two minutes later.

"Good morning Dylan. I was informed by the principal that Jill will be out of school for a few months due to medical reasons. I know that today is the presentation but you don't have to present just hand in the paper and I'll correct it."

I took the paper and I handed it to him. "There you go Mr. Albert," I said as I handed him the paper. He took it and soon after the class became crowded with students. When everyone was settled he announced the first group to present. It was Aiden and Kacey. Seeing Kacey made me feel disgusted. I can't seem to wrap my mind around that horrifying news my mother told me. I didn't realize that they were done presenting until I heard Mr. Albert call the next group.

After all the groups presented Mr. Albert began collecting the written essay from the other students.

"Excuse me Mr. Albert, one group hasn't presented," Kacey said.

"Well due to some unfortunate  circumstances Mr. Rodriguez and Ms. Watson won't be able to present."

Mr. Albert was called into the office by the principal and as soon as he stepped out of the classroom the beasts were unleashed.

Kacey came up to me. "Where's your little friend?" She questioned

"I don't know what you're talking about." I said my face stone cold with a hard glare.

"Oh cut the crap. We all know you liked that little trifling punching bag. Is she at home because her daddy raped her," The entire class started to laugh.

I was stunned. Kacey's words shocked me. Does she know Jill is being abused? Of course she does she's having an affair with Jill's father. How could she do that to her own friend? Maybe that was the reason why Hill tried to kill herself. Anger started building up inside of me. I got up and I looked at Kacey straight in her eyes, my body filling up with anger and i was about to explode.

" Jill is a smart, loving and beautiful girl and she'll never be a disgusting whore like you."

Everyone gasped. I felt a sting on my cheeks. That's when I realized what just happened. Kacey slapped me but i wasn't surprised. I've never ever laid my hand on a girl and I wouldn't do that now so I took one last look at Kacey and I said.

"I hope that slap made you feel content for sleeping with Jill's father."

Everyone gasped. I didn't give Kacey another glance as I walked out of the class and I headed to the hospital. I couldn't wait till after school to see Jill. I had to go now cause I really miss her.
