I am, We are Normal 2

Chapter Sixteen

"They are just some marks" replied Justin and bit his lip as a tear ran down his face, "Just some marks?" I asked and repeated what he said. I continued to study the marks Justin had on his body, but every time I got too close to the marks, he just kept on dodging me for some reason.

"Can't you just tell me what they are?" I asked frustrated as I continued to get dressed while looking at the marks on his body. Justin left the car out of frustration and slammed the car door behind him, "Justin tell me what they are!" I yell as followed him out of the car and to the hood of the car where he sat with his head resting on his knees.

"How did you get those marks on you?" I asked just to formulate myself better, trying not to be so confrontive about the marks he had on his body. "Training" simply replied Justin and didn't even look at me.

"What kind of training made those kinds of marks? They all look alike" I replied and wanted further answers, but still I didn't want to get him angry. "They are whip marks! There, I said it!" said Justin and jumped of the hood of the car, "wait, what?" I asked as I followed him into the car once again.

Justin sat and for the most part just stared off to the mountains across town, not talking and didn't look at me. I was almost worried for him, thinking that he wasn't even breathing at this point because of the silence! I got the courage and looked over at him, but he still didn't look back.

I grabbed his upper thigh, to hopefully get some sort of reaction from him, but he was quiet and didn't react to anything I did. "Can we go back to the house?" I asked as I reached over to ignite the engine, "Sure" he simply replied and turned the wheel and drove us back home.

The entire date had gone to hell and back! Everything I had planned to finally get Justin to show his true emotions ruined by his addiction to sex!

"Who gave you the whip-marks?" I asked as I noticed we got closer to campus and closer to the fraternity house, "I mean, you could just tell the truth right now?" I continued as I desperately wanted to hear him say that bitch's name!

"Catherine" replied Justin in an exhale. "Catherine?" I asked confused, "Who's Catherine?" I asked as he pulled up to the parking lot next to the fraternity house. "She's a good friend of mine" replied Justin as he cut the engine and just sat in his car.

"Yeah, I can see that your good friends!" I replied as I got out of the car and left him just sitting there, unknowing if he was going to come inside or if he was going to stay in the car?

I opened the front door and to my surprise stood Mitch right by and waited for me to spill all the details of the date, but I didn't say anything. I simply just threw my jacket on the floor and walked straight up to our shared bedroom and closed the door behind me.

"Hey, what happened?" I heard Mitch ask as I slammed the door on his face, but I didn't want to talk with him about Justin anymore. All I wanted to do, was to go back in time and stop myself from ever joining this fraternity and meeting Justin!

I grabbed what was left of the photos Justin had taken of me and the letter of lies that he had written and threw them in the trash. I grabbed my phone and went through my contacts, ready to call Chase and tell him that I wanted to go home, when I passed Jake's phone number...

I stopped myself and clicked on the contact, only to see that I hadn't changed the hearts behind his contact name.

"Should I give him a call?" was the thought that ran throughout my mind as I felt a tear run down my face. I clicked the 'call' button and neatly placed the phone next to my ear.

"Hello."
