Chapter twenty-one: a Promise
Juliet had asked Jimmy the next day if what Gary said was true. Jimmy looked shell-shocked, but quickly got over it.
"Of course not! None of it's true!" Jimmy said. Juliet looked up to him with big eyes.
"Are you sure?" Jimmy looked at her and down, then towards her again.
"I've slept with three people…" Juliet looked at Jimmy.
"How many times?"
"To many to count on one hand." He said, looking slightly paranoid. Juliet looked up to him as tears trickled down her cheeks.
"Gary was right…" Jimmy growled.
"What was he right 'bout?"
"Me not being pretty enough… that'll never live up to your expectations." Jimmy grabbed her wrists, which in return received Jimmy a hiss.
"What?" Juliet grabbed her wrists back.
"Nothing."
"What's wrong with your wrists?" Jimmy asked again, he obviously wasn't dropping the subject.
"Nothing." He grabbed them again, and against Juliet's will he shoved her sleeves back to reveal blood seeping through bandages. Jimmy was horrified.
"What have you done to yourself?" Juliet looked down at her wrists and cried.
"I'm not pretty enough." Jimmy hugged her close.
"You are pretty! Just because he said that doesn't make it true." Juliet cried out with more tears.
"It's not only him. It's my dad, its Trent, and it was Gary. They repeat it over and over and over again." Jimmy looked at her and embraced her again.
"I promise that I will never say that… I promise I'll wait."
"Wait for what?"
"'Till your ready." Juliet looked up with blood shoot eyes.
"Thanks Jimmy." She still didn't believe him, but chose to believe it all the same.
"Yeah." Jimmy patted her back and kissed her. Afterwards, he helped her off the steps and walked her to the girl's dorm. He was sleeping over there tonight.
(A/N: Ooh… By the way, should I write some more smut? Lol, I know someone asked me to write JulietxJimmy smut, but forgot who… or a lemon when I get around the part when they have s e x ? Let me know in a review or PM, thanks. Yeah, Juliet sounds like a mary-sue now, right? I don't think so… lots of people do that when someone tells them something negative. My friends do it.)
