How could I have been so dumb? I should have known better than to trust someone like
that. I mean did I learn nothing from my mother. Just because they say they love you
doesn't mean they will always be there. It doesn't mean that they will always care. It
doesn't mean that they will stay in love.
His words keep ringing in my head. "I've met someone else Jake." Uggghh! I could
have clawed his fucking eyes out. Those beautiful blue eyes of his looking at me, staring
through me as he tells me he is in love with another girl. Now that I think about it I
should have clawed them out, stuck them on skewers and roasted them like
marshmallows.
What does she have that I don't? Oh that's right a pair of 34 Ds. I thought Hamilton was
above all that crap. I thought he was the one. I guess that is what I get for thinking. I
can't believe he dumped me for a girl name Brittany. Oh I forgot she likes to be called
Britt. Britt the twit! This is so fucking wonderful! Well Hamilton, I hope she makes you
real happy!
Oh Jacqueline! Girl, pull your self together. So he told you that he would love you
forever, that you would always be together, that no one or anything could ever tear you
apart. It is your own fault for believing him, you should have known better.
These were the thoughts that went through Jake's mind as she rode down one of the back
roads of New Rawley on her bike. She had left right after Hamilton had dropped his
bombshell on her. She needed to get out of that place and clear her head.
Brittany Phetteroad had arrived at Rawley Girls three weeks ago for the start of Spring
Session. Jake had admittedly taking a disliking to her. The girl was your typical rich
snob. The kind of girl Jake had always hated at the girl schools she had previously
attended. But she had played nice for Hamilton's sake. His parents had asked him to
show her around. Help her meet people. The Phetteroads were very wealthy and were
considering making a sizeable donation to the school, if their daughter was happy here.
At first Jake didn't complain, she knew Hamilton was just being a good son, but as the
weeks passed by Britt was becoming more and more of a common fixture in their lives.
Which meant that Jake had to spend more and more time in "boy mode".
A week ago Jake had confronted Hamilton about the whole situation. Asking him to try
to make a little more time for them to be alone together. She was rewarded with a trip to
the movies in town. But a day later Britt was back in their lives again in full force.
Two days ago Jake had had a long conversation with Bella about the Britt situation, and
her fears over it. Bella had assured her the Hamilton loved her and that things would
soon get back to normal. That this whole thing was just because of pressure Hamilton
was getting from his parents. How Jake wished that Bella could have been right.
So many thoughts and emotions were running through Jake's mind that she didn't notice
the gravel in the road until her tires hit it and the motorcycle slid across the pavement,
dragging her with it.
"Damn!" She said out load to the night air as she picked herself up off the pavement. She
went to brush the dirt and gravel from her jeans and wince as her hand came in contact
with her right thigh. She looked down at her leg and saw a large tear in her jeans and a
four-inch long cut in her leg through the opening in the fabric. "A perfect end to a
perfect day." She thought. Limping her way over to her bike she began looking it over
for damage. There were a few dents and scratches but it was still drivable. It took some
doing with the condition of her leg, but she managed to get the bike up off the ground.
Jake gingerly swung her leg over the seat and started the bike. She headed to the local
hospital because she figured she would need some stitches.
***
Jake sat on a gurney in the emergency room of the hospital, one of the interns was
cleaning the wound on her leg in preparation to stitch it up. She was gritting her teeth
against the pain. But inside she was almost grateful for the pain from the cut in her leg.
It was taking her mind off the pain she felt in her heart right now. "That bastard!" She
thought for the hundredth time tonight, and then winced as the intern began sowing her
cut back together.
Forty minutes and 15 stitches later Jake was now sitting in the waiting room. Her right
leg exposed, since they had chosen to cut the leg off her jeans to get to her injury. She
was waiting for Bella to get there. The doctor told her it would be best if she didn't ride
her motorcycle for a week or so while the cut was healing, so she had called her friend
for a ride.
A guy about her age came and sat down next to her. He had a bandage on his head over
his left eye. He looked at her for a moment and gave a brief smile, which she returned.
"So what did you do?" He asked nodding toward the bandage on her leg.
"Motorcycle accident, I cut my leg." She told him. "You?" She then asked in return.
"Beer bottle to the head at the bowling alley." He told her.
Jake couldn't help her self when a chuckle escaped. "Sorry." She told him. "I don't mean
to laugh…"
"No it's okay… totally. It isn't as bad as it seems though. I friend of mine got into a
fight, I was trying to break it up and got wacked." He explained. "So was this your
boyfriends motorcycle you were on?" He asked.
At first Jake was shocked that he didn't think she was a guy, but then again her leg was
out in plain sight and it was definitely feminine looking. Then she thought more about
his comment, he used the word boyfriend, a word she currently couldn't stand.
"No. I don't have a boyfriend." Jake told him, the last word of the sentence spoken
harshly. "It was my motorcycle."
"Really? Wow! Not many girls I know have motorcycles."
"Then you must not know the right kind of girls."
"You're a feisty one. I like that." He told her with a grin. "So did you have to get
stitches?"
"Yep, 15. You?"
"Only 6. My name is Nick by the way, but most people call me Nicky."
"Jacqueline, but most people around here call me Jake."
Nicky's brow furrowed slightly at the nickname, then smiled. "Well it is nice to meet
you Jake."
Just then Bella rushed through the doors off the emergency room.
"Jake are you okay?" the frantic blonde asked.
"Yes Bella, I'm fine. It was just a little cut. They stitched me up and now I am all
better." Jake assured her.
"Bella Banks?" Nicky spoke up from beside Jake.
"Nicky? Oh my god! When did you get back into town?" Bella asked.
"Yesterday."
"And you've already ended up in the emergency room?"
"You know me, trouble just seems to gravitate towards me." He told her with a smile.
"Well everyone has missed you. You will have to stop by the station so we can catch
up." Bella told him.
"I'll do that."
Bella nodded toward him and then turned back to Jake. "Come on lets get you home."
Jake stood and started limping towards Bella.
"It was nice talking to you Jacqueline." Nicky told her with a smile. "Opps I mean Jake."
Jake returned the smile, "It was nice talking to you too Nicky. Maybe I'll see you around
town sometime."
"I'd like that." He replied.
Bella stood by watching this exchange not sure what was going on exactly.
"Bye." Jake told him and turned to face Bella.
"Yeah, bye Nicky." Bella added and the two girls left through the door Bella had just
come in.
Nicky shouted his good bye to them and sat back in his chair and smiled. "I think I will
definitely like being back in New Rawley again." He said out loud to no one.
Jake and Bella climbed into Bella's truck.
"What was going on there?" Bella asked once she had started the truck.
"What do you mean?"
"You and Nicky, you were flirting."
Jake just sighed and rolled her eyes. "So what is the story with him? How come I
haven't seen him in town before?"
Bella laughed and shook her head. "His parents split up a couple of years ago and he had
to go live with his mother and her new husband."
"Oh." Jake replied, nodding her head in understanding. "So what is he like? Are you
two friends?"
"Jake! I knew it! That was flirting! What about Hamilton, the love of your life?" She
asked laughing. "What would he think about this?" Bella turned to look at Jake and
noticed a single tear running down her friend's cheek. "Jake, what's wrong?"
"Hamilton and I broke up tonight." She told Bella in a soft trembling voice.
Bella could tell Jake was on the verge of breaking into tears. She pulled the truck off to
the side of the road and parked. She turned to Jake. "God, what happened?"
Jake took a deep breath, trying hard not to let even more tears flow out. "Well it looks
like you were wrong when we talked a few days ago. Hamilton dumped me for
Brittney."
"What?!" Bella was totally shocked. She honestly didn't think that Jake had anything to
worry about when they had talked earlier in the week. "I am so sorry Jake." She told her
and moved to give her friend a hug.
As Bella wrapped her arms around Jake, she let out a deep sigh and suddenly the dam
broke and all the tears she had been holding in since she had talked with Hamilton.
"It's okay Jake." Bella tried to comfort her, gently rubbing her back. "Let it all out."
