Chapters of my life

Chapter 9 : report it

I was more than delighted to go to college , seems weird huh ?

nope , after bearing 2 days of Jackie's constant crying and trying to convince her to go to the police station to report about Kyle with no luck . Yeah, It seemed as some sort of relif to me to finally get out of the appartment and go somewhere else which is less depressing but I knew what to do about it

As i walked into the lecture hall , i found Caleb sitting in his usual seat so i went to sit next to him

" why haven't jackie returned my calls ?' he says without looking at me

"well good morning to you too" i mocked

"seriously ashley , what is going on ?" he turns to me

" how much do you know " i ask

" enough to know that she is being physically abused by kyle " he hisses " seriously ashley , she came to me on friday night with her dress ripped and bruises all over her body , what kind of idiot wouldn't know that "

' she doesnt wanna report it " i calmly say

' what ? ofcourse she has to , is it kyle she is afraid of ?"

" no ..well part of it , she kinda loves him ? i don't know " i seriously don't

" love ? is that love ? kyle is my friend , yeah but i never knew that he could be a monster" he shakes his head

" i am thinking about taking her by force to the police station to report about it "

' do you think that will make her report him " he asks

" it has to " i say but then we are interuppted by Dr Brandon who starts the class by greeting us , i didnt notice that now the hall was full of students whom we didn't notice coming in , i look to the left and notice green eyes set on me but i turn away and look at Dr Brandon , hoping that this lecture would end up already

after we are dismissed , i gather my books and head out of class with Caleb discussing what we should do about Jackie before going to mangment class together

" so you know what you are going to do right ?" Caleb asks or rather assures himself for the tenth time as we reach the parking lot

"yes " i assure him

" great " he huffs

"alright, see you tonight then " i tell him before i walk away to my car

" Ashely " i hear someone calling my name so i turn around to find .. him

" how are you ?" he asks

" umm fine ?' i say and he looks at me like i am supposed to ask back

" uh .. good , its just i havent heard from you since last friday , so i wanted to check up on you " he smiles

i wanted to say since when do we check up on each other but i decided against it

" how lovely , thanks " i say in a high pitched mocking voice

" Jake " another high picthed - annoying voice calls , no need to look at her to know who she is

" Megan" jake adresses her

" shouldnt we get going? Mr Harding wants you " she says and looks towards me " oh Ashley , i didnt notice you ' she fakely gasps

" Oh heavens Megan , cant say the same as your squeeling voice is hard not to be noticed " i raise an eyebrow at her which causes her to gasp while jake clearly looks taken by my rude comment
