Chapter 3: "Blackbird singing in the dead of night"
Jake walked around the halls the next day looking for Peyton who was nowhere to be seen. This was the second day in a row. He began to get concerned, and so he hopped in his car and drove over to her house. Jake knew that although she was always home alone she never locked the door.
"Peyton?" He called climbing up the stairs to her room. "Peyt?" He said glancing through the crack in the door only to find her in the arms of… his brother? "JAGGAR!" Jake called.
"Hey man." Jaggar said sitting up in bed next to Peyton who was still asleep. A cover was tossed over the two.
"What the hell are you doing man?" Jake asked scared to approach his brother.
"What does it look like I'm doing?" He asked rubbing against Peyton which caused Jake to cringe.
"Look Jaggar. Peyton isn't like that. She isn't just one of those girls that you can sleep with and toss out." Jake said
"Who said I was going to toss her out? That was the best lay I've ever had. Nobody else let's me do those… things." He said.
Now Jake wished for Peytons sake that he would toss her out.
"Jaggar do you have to screw up everything you touch?" Jake asked coming nearer to the bed.
"I'm thinking' you should leave now baby bro. I think she's waking up. Almost time for round two."
Jake was stuck between a rock and a hard place. Could he just leave Peyton with his brother? It didn't look like he had hurt her… but still… Maybe it wasn't his place. Right now at least.
"You're such an ass." Jake said leaving allowing the door to shut behind him.
Peyton stirred when she heard the front door slam.
"What was that?" She asked mumbling into Jaggars chest.
"Nobody." He said his hands running up and down her back.
"Are you sure?" She asked
"Yeah." Jaggar said as he began to trace the heart that he had earlier carved into her. "You seem tense." He said kissing her neck
"No. I'm fine." She said trying to convince Jaggar as well as herself
"Are you lying to me?" He asked tugging on her hair lightly.
Peyton shook her head no. Jaggar rolled his eyes and got out of bed not even worrying about covering his nakedness. He went to his pants that were carelessly slung on the floor and pulled out a bottle.
"Drink some." He told her tossing the bottle at her
"What is it?" She asked.
"Just something to help you calm down." He told her, climbing back into her bed.
He was staring holes into her as he watched her take a slow swing and then gag at the liquid that was sliding down her throat. It burned at first, and then her mouth went dry…
"What-" She began.
"It's okay baby." Jaggar said kissing her body all over. "Round two."
The next day Jake sat next to Peyton at lunch. She wasn't eating anything, she was just rolling an apple around the table.
"Hey." Jake said
"Hey." Peyton responded not much wanting to be bothered
"How are you doing?"
Those words alerted her. Nobody ever asked her how she was doing unless they wanted something.
"Fine." She said, but then noticed that Jake was still staring at her "What!" She asked
"It's just that… I saw you the other night at your house with my brother."
Peyton was unsure of how to respond, so she thought it wise to wait for Jake to continue.
"He's not a good guy. I want you to stay away from him." Jake told her
"Who are you, my father!" Peyton yelled.
"YOU HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON!" Jake yelled. "My brother is a loser."
"Oh yeah, and so what does that make you. You knocked up your girlfriend sophomore year!"
"I made mistakes and I am paying for them!" Jake said trying not to show that he was hurt by Peytons words.
"Listen Jake, you made your mistakes, let me make mine. Just leave me alone." Peyton said putting her hands in the air as a sign of surrender and walking away.
As she lifted her hands Jake saw a trace of red on the sleeve of her white shirt.
