Chapter 17

The next thing I knew, was that I was lying down with my head on Johnny's chest, his arms tightly around me and covered up with his jean jacket. I must have cried myself to sleep and Johnny must have stayed with me. I replayed the events in my head…then reality struck. My mom might be… I took a deep breath to stop the tears from coming.

"Evelin?" Johnny asked softly. He was awake. I didn't answer cause the moment I would say something, I would start crying. "Are you awake?" he asked. I just nodded. He sat up, which made me sit up too. "Your eyes are all puffy. Are you feeling better?" I shook my head no, and then a tear ran down my face. He wiped the tear away with the back of his hand, then touched my cheek softly. I didn't want to talk, so I kissed him softly on the lips as if to thank him. "Do you want to go back to the Curtis'?"

"No." my voice was scratchy. Then, as if on cue, it started raining.

"C'mon, I know where we could go." Johnny said. I started to take off the jean jacket to give it back to Johnny. "No, you keep it, it's getting cold and I don't want you to get sick." He said putting it on me again. I smiled a small smile.

"Thanks." I said quietly. As we got closer, I knew where he was taking me. His house. Once we were in the doorway, he put an arm out in front of me to stop me.

"Wait here, I'll make sure no one's home." He said then disappeared inside. He came out a minute later. "C'mon in, no one's home." He said. He led us up the stairs up to his room. It was really small with just a bed with thin brown covers on it. I laid down on it and he laid down next to me. I wrapped my arms around him and laid my head on his chest. He put his arms around me too.

"What do I do now?" I whispered.

"What do you mean?"

"Where do I go? I don't want to leave. I don't want to live with my Godmother!" I exclaimed. "I wanna…I wanna stay here w-with you." I said looking up at him.

"I don't want you to leave either. I-I l-love you." He said really quietly.

"I l-love you too." I even quieter. I went on top of him and kissed him. Soft at first, then harder. Then Johnny turned so he was on top of me. Johnny took the jean jacket off of me. That thing is very restricting. Just as Johnny's hands reached my waist and reached the bottom of my shirt, we heard the door slam.

"SON OF A BITCH! WHERE THE HELL IS HE? WHERE THE HELL IS HE?" it was his dad. We both shot up.

"The window." Johnny directed. "Go!" He said pushing me in the direction of the window.

"What about you?" I asked.

"Just go!" he exclaimed. I did as he said. Once I was on the ground. I saw a little black and white dog come towards me and lick my face.

"C'mon Oreo, we have to go get Johnny." I saw a beer bottle on the floor and got it and ran to the door with Oreo following. As I ran through the door, the bottle hit the side of the door and cracked down the middle.

"Damn it!" I said and looked at it. It was really sharp. "Hmmm…that's even better!" I said and we went to his room where his dad was standing over Johnny. He looked really hurt. Oreo went up and bit him hard on the leg.

"FUCK!" he yelled. Oreo bounced back, teeth bared. I struck the guys head with the broken beer bottle and he fell. He was out cold. I ran over to Johnny.

"Wake up Johnny! Wake up!"
