Chapter twenty: Heart Break Hotel
The next three weeks Juliet skipped school to stay with Jimmy and most of the time they either talked or made-out… nine-nine percent of the time was making out. Juliet felt safe around him, like he could protect her from anything, but apparently she was vulnerable.
--
Chemistry class Dr. Watts switched partners and guess who her new partner was? If you guessed Gary; ding, ding, ding, you've won the grand prize. Gary smirked at Juliet's unnerved look she gave him every few moments. They had to work together on something dealing with chemicals so Gary brought the chemicals and Juliet added them into the bowl.
"So Jimmy, huh? Couldn't have anything better?" Gary asked, looking up and down Juliet's body, "with a body like that you probably could get anyone… even Dr. Crabblesnitch." Juliet cringed at the thought of that, but tried to cover her body with the over coat she had brought.
"What's the matter? Don't like my type of compliments?" Juliet looked at him with a slight angered face.
"Fuck off okay?" Gary looked momentarily shocked, but recovered quickly. He grabbed her hand and twisted it until she could feel it about to break. Biting her lip to keep the screams to herself, Gary smirked.
"Sadistic are we now? And don't you ever…ever tell me to 'fuck off' again or one of your sweet fingers are goin' to break sweet heart." Juliet nodded her head obediently as he let go. Rubbing her wrist, Gary licked his lips.
"Bet you're good at that."
"Excuse me?" she said in a deadly whispered.
"Look at how you're rubbing your wrist." She looked down and her face admittedly flushed.
"Screw you."
"That's not very nice sweet thing." Gary said. She had about enough as she raised her hand to be excused.
"You know Jimmy has been with every girl there has ever been?" Juliet's hand shook a little as she looked over to Gary. Slowly, her hand went down.
"Pinky, Christy, Mandy, Zoe, Angie, Beatrice, Eunice… you name it." Juliet looked down at her hands, "and you aren't half as pretty has some of those girls. Of course, you're better looking' than Eunice… I think any girl is." He said cruelly. Juliet felt tears welding up in her eyes.
"Aw, is the princess goin' to cry?" Juliet looked up and was going to slap him, but he quickly grabbed her hand, twisting it again.
"He's probably just using you… just like all the other girls. Let me guess, he told you that he likes you… a whole lot. Right?" Juliet felt tears trickle down her cheeks as she nodded her head solemnly. Gary looked at her with fake pity.
"Aw you poor girl. You're number six he's pulled that card on." Juliet looked up.
"How'd you know?" Gary looked at her and wiped a tear away.
"I have eyes and ears Juliet… that's why. You'll never live up to the standards of Hopkins… he's actually been all the way with five of the six girls that he said those lines to, too." Gary was a good actor because Juliet was eating it up.
"W-what?" Gary laughed quietly.
"You thought he was a virgin? That's rich." Gary said as he patted her back. Suddenly, she rushed out of the room. Gary looked towards his peers, everything was going as planned.
--
Juliet sat in her dorm room crying or sobbing for hours, until the school day was over. She grabbed a towel and headed for the bathroom. There were mirrors everywhere; she stood in front of one and looked at herself.
"Gary's right I'm not pretty enough for anyone…" She looked at her reflection once again and smashed the mirror; taking a sharp piece she ran it across her wrist.
--
She watched the red liquid go down the drain of the shower. She was showering for a total of three hours now. She ran over veins and watched the liquid spill down. Suddenly, someone knocked on the side.
"Everything okay?" it sounded something like Christy's voice. Her voice was shaky, but she answered.
"Yep, e-everything is okay."
"You've been crying." Christy replied after a few moments. Juliet curled her knees up to her chest and looked to the other shower side.
"So?"
"'Bout what?" Juliet scoffed; her wrists stung now.
"You my friend all of a sudden or you just want to fuck Jimmy again." Christy gasped.
"What?"
"You heard me…" Juliet replied cruelly. Christy was quiet for a minute.
"I've had sex with lots of people Juliet." Juliet rolled her eyes.
"Really?" Again, Christy stayed silent for a minute.
"Look—,"
"I get it, Jimmy's a womanizer." Juliet finished. Christy sighed.
"That's not what I was going to say," Juliet sighed, "he is one. But, I'm just a flower… he's a bee. He see's many pretty flowers. But, you know where he travels back after seeing a pretty flower?" Juliet stayed quiet, "to his queen." Juliet smiled lightly.
"Are you sayin' I'm his queen?"
"Yes, he acts so different around you. Every girl envies you for it." Juliet quietly exited and slipped into her room; her wrists still stinging.
