A/N: Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of updating, both of us were rather busy with our respective things. We are trying to get some written, but we still have our own things to worry about. We hope you guys don't give up on us or the story. Now, without further adue, here is the next chapter! (:

Wrecking Ball? - Chapter 7

(Marley POV)

As I wake up, I feel fully refreshed and energized; I've never felt better. As I go to move and get out of my bed, I am restricted by something. I begin to panic, thinking of every bad scenario there could potentially be occurring. Slowly, I turn around in the spot I lay, and come face to face with a sleeping Kitty. I let out a little scream, momentarily forgetting that Kitty had stayed over last night, and jump away from Kitty which in turns makes me fall off of my bed.

"Oww.." I mutter, rubbing my now sore side.

As I look back up to my bed, I see a now awake and alert Kitty staring down at me. Her face is blank at first, but as she begins to register the scene before her, she begins to giggle lightly. "What are you doing down there?"

I shake my head and blush ever so slightly, standing up slowly. "Y-you um.. I sorta forgot you stayed the night, and you scared me.." I trail off, looking anywhere but at blonde beauty.

Laughing now, Kitty moves to get off the bed and stand next to me. She takes one hand and gently turns my head to where I'm looking her in the eyes, her other hand resting gently on my left arm. "Don't be embarrassed, it'll be our little secret that 'little miss Marley' is a scardy cat." she winks. "But seriously, I'm sorry that my face scared you that much." she pouts.

I look at her in disbelief. How could I ever be scared of that face. It's so cute, and I could stare at it all day. Oh crap I am staring and she is starting to look at me weird. "Umm, it wasn't your face that scared me, don't be silly. It's just a shock waking up to someone you forgot was there. And I am not a scardy cat."

"Oh okay, and sorry to say this but you are." she says with a smile. "So we should probably get ready. As much as I hate school, after skipping yesterday I don't think it will be a good idea for us to skip again."

I don't want to go to school. I want to stay here all day with Kitty again. Well at least I have some classes with her, plus Glee club today. She is right though. We really need to go to school today. "Yea, you're right."

Kitty gives me a smile before walking out the door and out into the hallway. Not even five second later she is walking back into my room. "Um, I don't have any clothes to change into.. Do you mind lending me something of yours?"

I smile and walk over to my closet, motioning for her to come over once I am there. As we stand there, looking through my things, I can't help the on coming thoughts of my weight that slowly drift into my head. I cringe a little as she looks at the tags, looking for the sizes that were printed there. What if they're too big for her?.. This must disgust her..

I'm brought from my thoughts when I hear and see Kitty snapping her fingers in front of my face. "Earth to Marley. You there?"

"Oh um sorry.. I was just thinking of- of school and the work I'm going to have to make up." I lie.

"Oh okay. Well these will fit perfectly. Thanks Marls." She then lightly pecks me on the cheek, and walks back out of the room.

Every time she does that, I get a funny feeling in my stomach and my cheek goes numb, but I really don't mind it.

It didn't take too long for us to get ready for school. Which was very unfortunate, because here we are at school, about to part ways to separate classes, and I don't want to go. "I guess I will see you in a few hours in class." I say as the bell rings.

"You bet you will." she says with a smile. She gives me a quick hug, then rushes off to class. I watch as she leaves, then turn around and start walking towards my class, only to be stopped by Ryder.

"Hey Marley." He greets me with a flashy smile. "Where were you yesterday? Missed you after second period."

I give him a small smile, trying to get on my way. I don't want to get into this, not with him and not right now. I seriously need to get to class. "I left with a friend to get some food off campus, and ended up just going home. Now I really need to go, I can't be late for class again." I try to brush him off.

"Oh, okay. Well um, maybe we can go get lunch off campus today? Me and you?" he asks with hopeful eyes, inching closer to me.

I stiffen as he moves closer to me, his body just barely brushing up against mine. I step back quickly, and begin to walk around him. "Um, I can't. I already said I would eat with someone. Sorry." I begin to speed walk to my class, letting out a shuddered gasp as I run into some. And it's none other than Jake. Great.

"Watch where you're go-.. oh sorry Marley, I didn't realize it was you." Jake said as he ran into me.

"It's fine Jake." I mutter as i continue walking, trying to get past him. I really don't want to have to talk to him.

"Marley wait up!" he yells. Great.

"What is it Jake?"

"I was wondering if maybe we could like talk or something."

I really don't want to talk to him. "Sorry Jake, I have to get to class." I then continue my walk to class only to be stopped by him again.

"I don't mean right now, I mean like after school or something?"

Why can't he just take a hint already. "Sorry Jake, I'm busy after school. But I have to get to class, so bye." I say as I start slightly running off to class.

I hear footfall behind me as I make my way down the hall. When I turn my head to see who would be following me, I just about come face to chest with Jake. It startles me enough to where I fall back on my butt, and lightly smack my head against a locker. We seriously need to stop meeting like this, locker...

"Woah, Marley you alright?" Jake asks, bending down to my level.

"Yeah.. Just- please, could you back off. Why are you even here?" I say, pushing away his hand that had found its way to my knee.

His face falls and his eyes become darker. He takes a hold of my hand and lifts me to my feet, pulling me into his chest. "Why are you doing this- acting like this? I miss you Marley! Why do you keep blowing me off?!" he speaks gruffly into my ear.

I try to squirm out of his grip, pushing against his chest with what strength I have, but it is to no avail as he only tightens his grip around me. "Jake- Please let go of me!" My voice only comes out as a muffled whisper, as it becomes harder to breath with his close proximity.

"Why Marley? Why are you doing this to me?" he grunts, gripping my face between his free hand and turning it to face him.

"Jake-" I wheeze, "Please, let go of me. You're hurting me!"

His face turns from anger to a saddened regret, his grip on me diminishing completely. He stares at me, mouth agape, as he takes in what he had just done. Soon his head begins to shake back and forth, incoherent words being mumbled quietly under his breath, and slow steps backwards being taken. Before he's out of sight and ear shot, he yells out, "I'm sorry Marley! I didn't- I didn't mean to-.."

I stand frozen in my place for what seems forever before I remember that I have class, and quickly gather my bearings and rush off to my class. I'm frazzled to say the least, my thoughts all over the place. I needed to talk to Kitty, and I needed to talk to her soon. This Jake stuff was getting a bit too out of hand.

I don't think I can make it through this stupid class, I just need it to be lunch time already so I can talk to Kitty. Once I tell her what happened, she will be able to help me fix it.

"Miss Rose?"

"Huh? Oh sorry sir, I guess I was lost in my thoughts." Crap, how long has the teacher been calling on me. I really need to start paying attention or i am going to fail math.

"Can you come up here and solve the question on the board please."

"Uh sure thing." I look up and see the question on the board. I must have lucked out because it was a simple equation to solve. x=(2+4)x(3+8)/2

It didn't take me long to figure out that the answer was 33 and to show the work to the class. When I turn around to head back to my seat, I see Kitty standing outside waving a hall pass at me.

"Uh sir, can I have the hall pass please." Why not go talk to her now instead of waiting for lunch time.

He gives it some thought before nodding his head and walking over to grab the pass. I waste no time in jumping from my seat and snatching the thing out of his hand, dashing from the room as quickly as I can without making me look weird. As I make it out of the room, shutting the door hastily behind me, I am engulfed in a bone crushing hug from Kitty.

"Hey," I whisper into her ear, hugging her back tightly.

"Hey yourself," she whispers back hotly in my ear. I can't help the involuntary shudder that makes its way through my body, or the chill that makes it way down my spine.

Pulling away, she pecks me on my cheek and sends me a shy smile. "Sorry for um pulling you out of class, I just needed to see you."

I smile back at her, "It's alright, I wasn't even paying attention.." I look down slightly embarrassed.

She smirks, sending a surge of warmth throughout my body and to the pit of my stomach. "Ooo Marley, the straight A student, teacher's pet, not paying attention? I guess I'm rubbing off on you," she grins.

I roll my eyes, but can't help but giggle a little. "No-.. Maybe a little.." I sigh dramatically, gaining a chuckle from my cheerio. Wait- She's not my-.. Whatever.. "Actually, I wasn't paying attention because of something," I say, chewing my lip nervously.

She quirks a perfectly thinned brow, cocking her head cutely to the side. "What exactly was it that had you distracted Marls?"

"It's because of the way Jake was acting earlier." As I said his name, I could see her face transform from a smile so a sad look.

"What happened?" she asked in a monotone voice.

I spent the next five minutes explaining to her what happened between Jake and I, but when I got to the part about him grabbing my face, I could see anger flash across her eyes.

"I am going to kick that guy's ass," she snarled.

"No Kitty, you can't. I think there is something mentally wrong with him. I don't know what to do. I want to try to help him, but I don't want him, or the person I have fallen for," I say as I touch her arm, "to get the wrong idea."

She sucks in a hardy amount of air, letting her eyes fall to my hand on her arm, and brings her other hand to rest on mine. "O-.. Okay Marls. I'll resist from kicking his ass for now, but I can't say I will hold back if he trys his shit again," she says, clenching her jaw tightly.

I smile sadly down at her, squeezing her arm gently in a comforting way. She looks up at me, her eyes slightly glossed over from un shed tears, and smiles a faint little smile. Before I know it, I'm bringing her to my chest in a warming hug, rubbing her back in comforting circles.

A couple minutes pass before she pulls away slightly, looking up at me with a slightly confused look upon her face. "Marls- Marley..? W-What did you mean by "the person I have fallen for"?"

My mouth goes dry and my breath hitches in my throat, my eyes going wide as my brain finally catches up to what my mouth had let out only mere minutes earlier. Oh god.. Th-this isn't good. I didn't mean to...

"Like who do you mean Marls? Can you just tell me who it is?"

What do I do? Do I tell her? Do I lie and say someone else? Ugh. "Kitty, I.. I-"

"What are you two doing in the hall. Get back to class." Saved by the teacher. Couldn't have happened at a better time.

"Sorry Mrs. Martin, we will get back to our classes right away," said Kitty. "Oh and Marley, we will continue this conversation at lunch okay?" I don't know if I want to continue this conversation later. Maybe I should spend lunch with my mom. Yea that's a good idea.

"Actually I can't meet at lunch, I told my mom that I would spend it with her. Sorry." I felt bad for somewhat lying to her, but maybe I can talk to my mom and she can help me figure out what to do.

Her face visibly falls, looking as if I had kicked her puppy. This pained me. "Oh.. um okay. Then we'll talk later in glee club..?"

I try to give a smile, but I don't think it comes out as one; being more of a tight lipped grimace. "Y-yeah, later. Well um, see you later Kitty." I awkwardly embrace her with one arm, give a slight smile, then head back into my class. I don't look back, dreading the look upon her face.

"Ah Marley, nice of you to rejoin us. We were just about to send a search party out for you," Mr. Wilson dryly chuckled, a non amused look upon his face.

I can feel the heat rushing to my face as I duck my head, walking quickly to my seat. "S-sorry. I um sorta ran into a friend, and um- yeah.. Sorry." I keep my head bowed not wanting to make eye contact with him or the other students.

"Thank you for telling the truth..?" he sounds stunned. "Let's get back to the lesson, shall we?"

The rest of the class was spent staring off into space or my notebook, berating myself for brushing of Kitty the way I did. My next three classes were also spent like that, mentally kicking myself and the likes. I almost brought myself to tears a few times as well. I was a terrible person, Kitty didn't deserve that or me..

As the last bell before lunch rings, I slowly make my way to my locker to put my things away before I head over to the cafeteria to visit with my mom. I slowly creep into the back and see my mother putting things away. I decide to sneak up behind her and wrap my arms around her waist.

"Hi mom."

"Hi sweetie. How has your day been so far?" she asks me.

"It was going good until I was talking to the person I have fallen for. That person knows that I like someone new, but how do I tell this person that I like them? Mom, I don't know what to do."

"I know how you are with telling people how you feel sweetie, but have you thought about maybe writing it down on a piece of paper and giving it to Kitty?"

"That sounds like a good idea, thanks mom. Wait, you said Kitty, I never said a name. How did you know?"

"You're my daughter, I know everything."

I chuckle lightly before huffing in faux displeasure. She chuckles as well, swatting me softly on the arm. I smile at her and give her another hug, before placing myself on a vacant stool. I sit and watch her as she prepares some extra food, going off into my thoughts as I begin to write out the note in my head. I come to only when I see my mother waving a serving spoon in front of my face, a raised brow and grin on her face.

"Earth to Marley. Is anyone in there?" she laughs, knocking the spoon on the top of my skull.

"Ow.." I mutter, giggling, "I'm here mom, just got lost in space for a little bit."

"A little bit? Hun, the bell just rung. You've been lost up there for about thirty minutes. You better hurry up and get to class!" She pushes me lightly to get me up and going, sighing with a chuckle.

"Bye mom!" I yell over my shoulder. "See you at home."

"See you at home dear. Love you!"

"Love you too mommy!" I turn and throw her a bright smile.

I dart through the doors, rushing down the halls to quickly make it to my locker and gather my things. I ignore everything and everyone around me, focusing on getting to my class where I can begin to write out my note to Kitty. I had an idea of what I was going to write, but it was going to take some time to really get my feelings across to her. It was all or nothing. Make or break.
