Hey guys! Here is chapter 4! Chapter five might have a small time jump like only a few days and it'll be an interesting chapter. This story is just about to really get started.
"Get up for school lazy bones! Its your first official week!"
I mumbled at the person waking me up from my slumber. I sat up to seeing my caring father's eyes looking at me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he pulled me in for a sweet hug.
"Okay Kim, Jake is up and all this week I have to be at the base. I know its awful, but its what a Sargent does. Call me everyday and I'll be home on Friday before you know it," Father said as he pulled us apart.
I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before he left and then I began my morning routine. I brushed my straight hair so it was the perfect balance of straight and wavy and applied some makeup on. I then put on my dark wash skinny jeans, a peachy pink tank top that hit the waistband of my jeans, a brown oversized cardigan, and my combat boots.
I grabbed my back pack and raced downstairs to find breakfast prepared for me and Jake playing xbox in the den. Once I finished my oatmeal and banana and cleaned up my mess I decided to tell Jake it was time to go.
I walked in the den to see the teen passed out on the floor with a xbox controller in his hand. He was wearing jeans, a gray shirt, black vans, and of course his gray beanie. I decided to take advantage of the sleeping teen and mess with him. I ran and jumped right on top of him and slapped his face around.
"Time for school Jakey! Wakey Jakey eggs and bakey! Wakey Jakey!" I yelled at the young teen as I was on top of him.
"Oh my God Kimmy get off of me!" Jake yelled.
"Only if you get up for school!"
"OKAY GET OFF LETS GO!" He was now irritated, and my job was done.
We grabbed our belongings and hopped into my car. Jake turned on the radio, but the talk show was on so we just decided to chat.
"Kim, do you think Layla is good for me?" Jake asked with all seriousness.
"I do Jake, I honestly do. Its been a hard 3 years for us, you deserve some happiness." I turned and smiled at my not so little brother anymore. He was maturing and growing taller.
"You do to," Jake said quietly. "You deserve someone who you can share cute moments with and kiss them whenever you want. You deserve someone who you can share your feelings with. Kim you deserve that more than anyone." Jake smiled.
Once he said that my thoughts went directly to Jack. The other night I couldn't be there, in his world. He was turning around slightly, but his gang brought back so many haunting memories of what happened with Jake. Jack wasn't good for me. He was trouble. He was hurtful, but he was also protective. And he showed me that he could care. No Kim, stop. Jack will just hurt you. He flirts and dates every girl. He is a leader of a gang, he is dangerous.
"Hey Kim?" Jake asked curiously pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Yeah, I'm sorry. I mean I guess I do." I guess I do deserve someone, but someone who is good. Someone who's not Jack.
The rest of the car ride was in silence. It wasn't uncomfortable, it was nice. Me and my brother were so close that it was okay for us not to talk even though we shared everything with each other.
Layla was waiting for Jake when I dropped him off. He bid me goodbye and then went to suck face with his girlfriend. Seriously, my brother will probably get her pregnant.
When I pulled into the high school's parking lot I parked right next to a familiar car.
I got out of my car and grabbed my back pack and went to the drivers window of Grace's car. I came upon an image I can never un see. It was a Grace and Jerry full make-out session. I banged on the window to startle an embarrassed Grace and an annoyed Jerry.
They got out the car and Jerry started bickering at me,
"Kim, you are such a cock blocker!" Jerry yelled.
I simply just stuck my tongue out at him as Grace and I walked off laughing.
"So, are you okay now?" Grace asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure." I said hanging my head down.
"Kim, I got to your house and found you in your room balling your eyes out. I know you told me why, but still it sucks to see my best friend like that." Grace said worriedly.
"I promise you I'm fine." I said as I walked into the school, but what I saw made my heart break even more.
A girl was pushed up against a locker by a brown haired boy with their lips locked. She was grinding up against him and he was giving her his all. Sadness and anger built up in my system and I knew I needed to leave before it got worse.
"Grace can we-?" I said with a shaky voice.
"Of course," Grace interrupted me as she pulled me into the bathroom where I broke down.
"Okay I hate Jack! He is an asshole. He pushes me around and is a total douche bag! And when he opens up to me and actually apologizes I fall for it. He actually got me into believe he liked me!" I was shouting so loud I'm sure everyone could here me. Tears were streamed down my face and I couldn't hold it anymore.
"He actually got me believing he liked me! It was all an act a stupid act! He is the biggest, most conceited, asshole on planet earth!" I shouted breathlessly as the tears rapidly fell.
Grace walked over to me and hugged me tight. She helped me through to pain and tears that flooded my body. After I calmed down and I was cleaned up I braced my self for the outside world. I walked out the bathroom to see no one had heard me or even cared about what had happened. I was in relief.
Grace and I went to our lockers and got what we needed. It was 30 minutes until the bell rang so we were just hanging by our lockers when some boy walked over to us.
"Hi, my name is Brady I know this might sound a bit off and it might be awkward, but I just can't stop staring at you. You are just so beautiful." The young boy said referring to me. He had green eyes and light brown hair that had a little spike at the tip.
Grace winked at me and walked off and then I spoke. "That was so nice thank you."
"Your welcome, but I was wondering if you would like to eat lunch with me and the guys Wednesday." Brady said as he pointed to a group of nice, but tough looking boys.
I nodded happily, "I would love to."
"Great see you then," Brady said as he kissed me on the cheek and walked off.
I blush madly, but that soon faded once I turned to see an enraged Jack in the corner. He furiously walked over to me and pinned me against the locker.
"Must you always greet me like this?" I said in a mad, but sarcastic tone.
"Kim, you cannot hangout with Brady. He is bad news Kim." He said with fury and jealousness in his eyes.
I pushed him off of me and motioned him to walk with me, "Oh and you aren't?"
He was speechless for a moment, but then spoke. "Kim, I'm being serious. You could get hurt. And not in the heartbroken kind of way, like in the bruises and broken bones way."
"Oh like the way you did?" I scoffed.
"Kim, I said I was sorry and you forgave me!" He yelled stopping me in my tracks.
"Jack get out of my way."
"No. Not until you forgive me."
"JACK! I'M NOT GOING TO FORGIVE YOU. YOU PUSH ME AROUND AND TREAT ME LIKE A GIRL WHO HAS NO SELF RESPECT. YOU TREAT ME LIKE ONE OF YOUR BIMBOS. AND THE ONE TIME YOU'RE ACTUALLY KINDA NICE I COULDN'T DEAL WITH IT BECAUSE YOU BROUGHT ME TO AN UNSAFE PLACE. AND TODAY I SEE YOU SUCKING FACE WITH THAT BITCH." I said pointing to the red head in the corner.
"JACK, YOU'RE THE BAD NEWS HERE. BECAUSE OF YOUR GANG, MY 13 YEAR OLD BROTHER HAD TO GO TO REHAB AND I HAVE NIGHTMARES EVERY NIGHT. I CAN'T DEAL WITH YOU AND YOUR BACKSTABBING, HEARTBREAKING, ABUSIVE SELF!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, furious and enraged.
I stopped to see all eyes were on me and Jack was stunned. Tears came rushing out of my eyes, "Why don't you go fuck with her. Obviously I'm just another bitch to you, so go find some other toy because I can't do this."
I ran out of the school in tears. I ran into my car and sat there bawling my eyes out. Why can't Jack just forget about me. He causes me so much hurt and pain. But at the same time, I'm so drawn to him. His eyes just leave me yearning for more. He's dangerous.
I was sitting there with tear stained cheeks when a knock at my window echoed throughout my car. I turned to see my best friend and her boyfriend and two of my other closest friends. I guess they had witnessed it all.
I unlocked the doors and they came in,
"Babe, are you alright?" Grace said as she hugged me tight as Kelsey did the same. And Eddie looked at me with a slight smile.
I sniffled, "I let it all out. I know I shouldn't have, but I did. Jack just got me so worked up."
"Kim, Jack can do that sometimes. He lashes out about everything and he does things he shouldn't do. You mean something to him, he can't figure it out though. He'll sit in class or at home and bicker about you the whole time. He cares about you I feel." Jerry said patting my back.
"If he does then why does he hurt me?" I asked with sad eyes.
"Its the way he and I were taught. Its the way he has to be. I'm the only person he can truly show affection for. He and I are leaders of a gang. We can't show emotion about anyone or they could be in danger. Grace and I have to be extremely careful." Jerry responded.
"I hate Jack. I despise him. He made my all ready miserable life worse." I said tearing up.
Grace hugged me understanding what I was going through. We talked it over and decided to ditch school today. Jerry had to stay and be with Jack since he had some business to take care off later. So Eddie, Kelsey, Grace and I went to pick up Jake so he could be with me. The lady at the middle school's front desk called him from his class for him to go home.
After about 5 minutes Jake arrived. I gave him a tight hug using his height as an advantage to feel protected and we walked outside.
"Kim, I'm not complaining but why are we ditching school?" Jake asked.
"Jake, we need to talk." I sat him down on a bench and told him everything that has happened.
He looked at me with anger, fear, and sadness in his eyes. He pulled me in for and hug and made me feel loved, "Kim, I love you and I'm sorry. You should've told me sooner."
"I know, but I didn't want this to get in the way of you and Layla. And I didn't want you to think all mighty and try to beat Jack up."
He smiled at me, "Those things won't happen."
We got up and went to my car where Eddie, Kelsey and Grace were. Eddie was the driver and Jake got shotgun while Kelsey, Grace and I filled up the back seat of my volkswagen.
"Eddie go to Kim's house. No one is home and we can have a movie marathon all day." Grace told her him as he started driving.
"Sure Grace."
I looked out the window to see rain clouds forming. Wow, the weather is really on key with how I'm feeling. I was happy to be spending a sad day with my friends, but it still didn't make me feel better.
I hate Jack. He made my life worse, and I have this gut feeling that its only the beginning.
