Chapter 3

"God...what I am gunna do? Jeff knows and he's probably going to tell Shane...shit...why did I fucking go to that stupid ass party..?" she thought to herself.

Back at the party

"Jeff...man what's up?" Shane asked him

"Nothin man...you?" he replied confused.

"Nothing, what was all that about?"

"All what?"

"Nicole, she just ran out..."

"Yeah...she has some shit goin on..."

"What kind of shit?" Shane asked concerned.

"Umm...I dunno man...I'm going to go...to her, uh...house...see what's bothering her...."

"Is something going on iwth you two that I should know about?"

"No...nothing..." he said as he left.

"Something IS going on, and I'm going to get to the bottom of it..." he said as he walked out the door.

Jeff drove the full thirty minutes to Nicole's house. He knocked on the door but no one answered. He noticed two cars in the driveway, one was hers, and one he never saw before.

"She's here...she has to be...her car's here..." He thought.

Jeff turned the doorknob, and to his surprise, it was unlocked. He walked in and didn't hear or see anything. He looked around a little more. He heard a faint jingly, it got louder, and Nicole's chiwahwah, Roxy, ran up to him and kissed him. He knelt down to pet her and heard a big bang. He heard the door to Nicole's room slam shut and he ran quietlu to the kitchen. When he heard the front door slam, he ran to Nicole's room. She was on the floor holding her stomach. Her wall was dented and she was bloody.

"Holy shit...Nicole...what happened?" Jeff asked as he aided to her.

"N-n-Nothing..." she stammered out.

"Bullshit...was that Jared?" he asked. She gave a simple nod. "Fuck...we need to get you to the hospital..." he said, picking her up.

"No...I'll be fine..." She said trying to keep her balance, but she fell, only to be caught by Jeff.

"Ok...Nicole...listen to me...we need to get this under control...if we don't do it now, he's going to keep doing this, and I'm going to beat the shit out of him...I might do it right now..."

"Jeff...no...just stay away from him and stay away from me..." she said, getting free from his grasp. She couldn't hold her balance, so she was caught, again, by Jeff.

"You didn't tell Shane did you?"

"Tell Shane what?" Shane asked, walking through the door.
