Chapter6- The Day After
That night I decided not to even write in my diary, I just took off my shoes and my dress and hoped into bed. I awoke to the alarm going off. 'I wonder what today's going to be like.' I said to myself hoping that today would be a good day. "Morning Jaimie. how's your back?" Connie asked. "Good I guess, I can't really feel it so I don't know." I said walking into the bathroom to take a shower. I turned the knob in the shower and stepped in to the shower. I put my back to the water and immediately stepped out because the pain of the water hitting my cuts hurt too much. "God damnit that hurts." I said putting shampoo in my hair. I finished taking my shower and stepped out onto the floor and got dressed. I walked out of the bathroom and headed towards my makeup bag. "Today's the last day of school you guys, we have to do something later." Julie said. "Yeah we need to go out to pizza or something." Connie said getting her bag on. "Jaimie what do you think about it?" Julie asked. "Jaimie. JAIMIE!" Julie screamed at me. "What, oh, sorry, I think it's cool." I said putting my shoes on. Connie walked out the room and started towards her class. "Jamies what's the matter?" Julie asked. "Nothing." I stated. "Something is the matter, is it what happened last night?" "Maybe." "Jaimie, Adam didn't mean to do anything, he was protecting you. Adam warned Josh to stay away from you and Josh didn't get it. Adam was just-" "I know protecting me, I know he was, and I thank him for that, but he didn't need to punch him." "Josh hurt you, Adam doesn't like people who hurt his friends and especially his girlfriend. so Adam took things into his own hands and decided he needed a taste of his own medicine. Don't get mad at Adam. get mad at Josh for what he did to you, Adam was just helping you." "I know, but he. oh never mind you're right." I said picking up my bag. There was a knock at the door. "Answer it Jaimie." Julie said tempting me even more to answer it. I opened the door to find. "A. Adam, what are you doing here?" I asked. "I came here to walk with you to class, and talk to you about last night." He said reaching for my bag. "I can carry it." "But I want to carry it, I insist." "Okay, if you really want to." I said handing him my bag. We walked down the halls, not even saying a word. I just had to break the silence, it was killing me. "Okay, so what did you want to talk to me about?" I asked looking at him. "About what happened last night." "I know what happened last night, you don't need to explain." "Yes I do, I didn't mean to punch him in front of you, I didn't want you to get mad at me, but when I saw you walk away and out that door, I thought you would never talk to me again." "And you think that I would never talk to you again but here we are just talking up a storm." "Yeah I know and I thank god for that, I love you Jaimie, and I thought that you would never love me again when you walked out that door." "You know what. you'd probably be very disappointed to hear me say that I don't love you because of what you did last night. I was very disappointed and very shocked that you did that, but I trust you and I know that you were protecting me from Josh and thank you for doing that but. I. I. could never stop loving you." "I am so happy to hear you say that, and I know that you're disappointed that I did that, and I totally and completely understand that, and I respect that." He said looking me in the eyes. I could see it in his eyes. The trust, the love, everything. I got closer to him and touched my lips to his and wished I could stay that way for the rest of my life. Every time I kiss him I feel a certain security about him. Like nothing can touch me when he's around. The sound of the bell broke me from my thoughts. "Well let's do this, I can't wait to see Josh's face." I said grabbing Adam's hand. "Yeah this will be a site for sore eyes." "Ha funny." I said laughing. We walked into the classroom and took our seats as the last bell rang and the teacher walked in and closed the door.
"Okay class today-" Mrs. Burgess was cut off by the door opening. "Joshua why are you late?" She asked as Josh took his seat. "I was talking with the principle about last night." Josh said looking back at Adam and I, and winking at me and giving Adam a dirty look. "Oh okay, just get a note next time your going to be late." She said turning back around and heading to her desk. "Does that mean your going have to talk to the principle Adam?" I asked. "Most likely, there goes my summer." He said taking out a pencil. "Boys and girls I have to step out for a second will all of you please take out your books and start reading, I will be right back." The teacher said stepping out the door and closing it so we couldn't hear whom she was talking to. I pulled out a piece of paper and a pencil. I started to write a note.
"Adam are you going to get in trouble?" I wrote handing the note to him. He read it and then started to write. He handed me the note. "I hope not, but if I do I will just explain why I punched him." I read. "Can I go with you, if they call you down, I don't want you to get yelled at, I will back you up." I handed him the note and hoped that he would let me go. "If you really want to you can, but you know that you're going to have to show him your back?" He handed the note back over. "Yeah I know and I will show them, will Josh have to go back or just us?" "All of us will have to go, since we all were involved." He wrote and I read. I turned to face him and nodded, yes. He just gave me a gentle smile. The door opened and in stepped Mrs. Burgess. "Okay, I just talked to the principle and he said that since it's the last day of school, we will let all of the students do as the please. But you may NOT leave the school, you may meet in your rooms and hang out, but when the end of the day comes at 2:10 you all can go out of school. Have a good vacation and stay safe. Good luck to the Ducks on defending your titles." She said walking back to her desk and sitting down. "You're all dismissed." She yelled as everyone got up and walked out the door. "Jaimie, Adam, Josh the principle wants to see you in his office right now." Mrs. Burgess said. We walked out the door and walked down to the principle's office. "Mr. Simpson will now see you all." The secretary said pointing us towards the office. We knocked on the door and he responded. "Come on in kids." He said pointing to the seats. "Now I understand that you two got into a fight last night at the prom." Mr. Simpson said looking from Adam to Josh. "Yes sir, but I did nothing to tempt him into punching me, I was just standing there and he came up behind me and started punching me." Josh lied. "Well we have a lady here that might prove you wrong so before you say anything you might just want to shut your mouth before your spoke to. Now Jaimie tell me what happened." He asked me. 'Great what a time to need to go to the bathroom.' I said to myself trying not to show that I was shaking. "I was sitting down at my table with my friends and Josh came up behind me and put his hands on my shoulders and I told him not to touch me then he asked me if I wanted to have some real fun and if I wanted to get out of the dance, and I said no. And then Adam came up and said to get his hands off of me and he said that if he threatened me again that he'll have to deal with Adam." I said trying to keep from crying. "Keep going." Mr. Simpson urged me on. "So Adam and I were sitting together and Josh came up behind me and scratched my back and then that's when Adam got up to protect me from any further abuse. And Josh was in the corner laughing and Adam went over and started telling him that he hurt me and Josh didn't care and Adam punched him in the stomach." I said hoping that what I said wouldn't get Adam in trouble. "May I see your back Jaimie?" He asked. I stood up and lifted the back of my shirt up so that he could see what Josh did. "Josh. did you do this?" Mr. Simpson asked. "No sir." "JOSHUA, DID YOU DO THIS?" He screamed at him. "Sir I didn't mean to." Josh pleaded. "Men never touch women and you know it, I'm sorry I'm going to have to put a restraining order on you. You cannot come within 10 feet of any Duck. Is that understood?" "Yes sir." "You are now dismissed, have a good summer." He said to Josh escorting him out. "Now for Adam, you did good protecting her, but for punching him you can not come within ten feet of him either, same goes for Jaimie. do you understand that?" He asked. "Yes." We both said. "You two may leave, have a great summer and I'll see you both this fall." Mr. Simpson said sitting down. We walked out the door and down the hall towards our friends who were getting ready to go out for pizza.
"Oh wow, I almost forgot about Kendra and Travis, did they stay in the city or did they already leave?" I asked Adam. "I think they stayed in the city. But they made a comment that since things were bad here that they might go back to wherever they came from." "Austin, they came from Austin." I told him. "Texas?" "No Minnesota." I said laughing. "Oh we have an Austin?" "Yeah, you didn't know that, wow." "Yeah." It was dead silent for a couple of moments until we heard the group coming down the hall. "You two ready to go out for some pizza?" Goldberg asked. "Yeah of course, we're always ready." Adam said. I decided to stay in back of the group to do some thinking of my own. One question I asked myself is that if maybe I should consider heading home myself. I'm causing so much trouble here and we have a game in a week, training began tomorrow. 'Maybe I should sneak out tonight and go to the airport, they don't need me here, I'm way to much of a problem.' I said to myself looking at the faces around me and wondering what my life would be like without the ones I loved.
Author Note: Hey I need to know if you guys think I should actually leave or what, so please give me your feedback I need it really bad. Thanks!! Love Always And Forever, Jaimie!!!!
