Jennel's POV:
I groggily open my eyes when I hear my phone vibrating next to me. I groan before turning over and grabbing it, I look at the time; oh come on it's not even seven in the morning yet. The text is off Demi this is one of the bad points of 'being' with your teacher, she gets up early and texts you!
(6:55am) Demi: You don't have to come in today, you know that right? 3
I prop myself up and allow my eyes to adjust to the light before I text her back.
(6:57am) Jennel: You know some people actually like sleep! And I'm coming in I'm fine, he's done worse to me and I've gone in the day after…Can I see you tonight? 3
There's no point in trying to get back to sleep now, I throw the sheets off me before grabbing my sweats off the ground and then sliding them on. I grab my phone and get out of bed before shuffling towards the door. I quietly open in before walking into the hallway and towards the living room, I slowly push the door open and spot Max stood in the kitchen making coffee. I take a double glance and notice that he's only wearing his shirt and boxers.
"Max what the hell are you doing in the kitchen, half naked?" I ask, not looking at him. He jumps slightly, almost dropping the cup on the ground. My phone vibrates in my pocket as he turns around and faces me.
"Jess wanted me to stay in case he tried to come back, I slept on the sofa."
"Put some goddamn pants on then." I groan while sitting in the middle of the sofa, I sit cross-legged and read the text off Demi.
(7:01am) Demi: The perks of being with a teacher, you get a wakeup call ;) That's not what I wanted to hear Jennel, so you're coming in then? And maybe you can see me tonight, maybe you can't…depends how much work you get done in lesson 3
(7:03am) Jennel: Oh trust me this is not a fucking perk! Yes I am coming in and I'll be coming to yours whether or not I do work in class :P 3
I lock my phone and rest my head against the back of the sofa as Max sits next to me, he's now wearing pants, thank Jesus. He hands me a coffee and a cigarette, I smile at him and he simply smiles back at me.
"Want a lift to school today?" He asks before taking a sip of his coffee, I light the cigarette before answering him.
"It's either I go with you or have you following me isn't it?"
"Of course, I don't want him to get to you again. The police let him out on bail last night." Max tells me as I take a drag of the cigarette. I put it out in the ashtray before sliding it back into the box on the coffee table.
"Whatever, they have no evidence anyway. I'm going to get ready and possibly smoke a joint."
"Getting high before school, classy Jennel." He says sticking his tongue out at me, I flip him off. "Just go and get ready you little shit." He says ruffling my hair, I move away from him and glare at him before standing up and walking towards my room. I push the door open, walk in and then close the door before leaning against it.
~~~
"Jennel Garcia get down here right now, you're going to be late!" Max yells from the ground floor of the apartment block as I leave the apartment, slamming to door so he knows I'm out. "About fucking time!" He screams as I rush down the stairs, my bag slung over my right shoulder and my jacket in my left hand. My laces are untied and my hair is a mess, this is what happens when certain people wake you up early. You fall asleep again and then you're running late for school.
We quickly get into Max's car; I just about have time to fasten the seatbelt before he's driving towards the school. I unzip my bag and pull out a black beanie; I run my fingers through my hair before pulling the beanie on to my head. I pull out my eyeliner and begin applying it as Max stops at a red light. He looks at me in amazement as I finish the first eye; I begin to do the second eye and then finish it just before he starts to drive again.
I quickly tie my laces and then tuck them inside my boots as Max pulls up outside school. I grab my bag from in between my legs and then open the car door. I get out and slide my jacket on; I throw my bag over my shoulder before slamming the door and waving bye to Max.
The bell rings just as I walk up to the school doors. I groan as I push the door open, I walk towards my locker and open it before grabbing my books. I slam the door shut and then make my way towards homeroom, which if you ask me is utterly pointless.
"Nice to see you almost turned up on time Miss Garcia."
I glare at the Mr Dawson before sitting down at my desk; I throw my bag underneath the desk, fold my arms and then rest my head on the top of them. The door opens and I hear Demi's voice, I look up see her talking to Mr Dawson. They're whispering to each other, Mr Dawson occasionally glancing towards me and then nodding at Demi.
"Jennel go with Miss Lovato please." He says, I look towards Demi and she slyly winks at me before walking out of the room and waiting for me. Even though I know I'm not in trouble I still groan as I reach down and grab my bag. I push my chair back and then stand up before walking to the front of the class room and then out of the room. I shut the door behind me and Demi smiles at me as we begin walking towards her class room. Demi glances around the corridor, making sure that no one is around. The corridor is empty, Demi moves closer to me before speaking.
"How are you feeling?" She asks, looking towards me as we get closer to her classroom.
"I'm fucking tired considering some idiot woke me up early."
"Oh shut up it wasn't that early, and don't use that language in school." She replies, unlocking the door and then pushing it forward, she walks in and I follow her. I shut the door behind me as Demi walks towards her desk; she sits on top of it. Leaning back with her legs crossed, she's smirking at me I shake my head at her before rolling my sleeves up. Demi's eyes go straight to my arms; I forgot that Spencer left marks. My arms are covered in hand shaped black marks.
"Dem." I whisper, she looks up at me, she looks as though she's about to cry.
"D-did he do that?" I slowly nod and then roll my sleeves down again; she shakes her head before sliding off the desk and walking towards me. "Is it bad that I want to kill him?" she asks, getting closer to me.
"No because I want to kill him too. I thought I was getting over being scared of him but its back now. The fear of him getting me again, the fear of him just grabbing me on the street and taking me away. Taking me away from you, it's killing me." I say as Demi places her hand on my shoulder. "Because I only used to worry about him taking me away from Jess but I know that he could take me away you. I know that he could hurt you if he wanted to, just to hurt me."
"Well he's not going to because I'm going to keep you safe, and he can't hurt me Jennel. He knows nothing about me." She whispers, wrapping her arms around me, I rest my head on her shoulder and just let her hold me.
"He has his ways Demi, trust me I should know."
"We'll talk about this tonight." She whispers into my hair before kissing the top of my head. "There's no point in you going back now, you have me first lesson anyway so you may as well stay here." She continues, unwrapping her arms from around me and looking down at me. Why the hell does she have to wear heels? I'm small enough next to her as it is, I do not need her to wear heels.
"You just don't want me to leave." I reply, smirking at her.
"Bit full of yourself there Garcia."
"I'm sorry Miss Lovato." I reply pouting at her as the bell rings. I wink at her before walking towards my seat; I throw my bag on the ground and then sit down as Demi opens the door, letting the rest of the class in.
Jillian walks in and smiles at me once she spots me, she walks towards me and then sits down before glaring at me, I just smile at her and then look towards the front of the room again. CeCe walks in and winks at me before smirking as she walks towards her seat. Demi glares at her before shaking her head and then glaring at me.
"Where the fuck have you been? You normally go to parties at the weekend. I had to go to Drew's on my own, he's a creep." Jillian whispers to me, leaning towards me.
"I just had some things to do over the weekend. I'll make it up to you."
"Girls pay attention." Demi says, turning to look at me and Jillian before continuing to write on the board. Jillian groans and then slides her book out of her bag, I do the same and grab a pen at the same time.
I look towards CeCe; she's already looking at me. She winks at me while chewing on her bottom lip, I lightly shake my head at her while giggling when she pouting at me. I stick my tongue out at her and she smirks at me.
"CeCe what did I just say?" Demi asks, glaring at CeCe, okay she really hates CeCe. I mean I can understand why but to be honest I was sleeping with CeCe before I slept with Demi, whatever.
"I-I um I don't know."
"Well don't you think you should be paying attention instead of flirting with Jennel?" Demi asks, kinking her eyebrow at CeCe. I'm not going to lie she looks really fucking hot when she's pissed off, especially when she's wearing a tight knee length dress and heels. CeCe just sinks down into her chair and begins writing down what's on the board. Jillian turns to me and smirks, I look at her in confusion.
"Miss Lovato seems to like you." She whispers, I shake my head at her. "What? She looks jealous that you and CeCe are all flirty."
"Shut up Jillian." I say nudging her arm, she nudges me back and I hiss in pain as Demi walks past.
"What's going on here?"
"Nothing Miss." Jillian mumbles, I look up at Demi and practically beg her not to make a scene.
"You okay Jennel?" Demi asks.
"Yea I'm fine."
"Okay girls, just do your work." Demi says as she continues to walk around the class room, she stops in front of CeCe and leans down before talking to her.
"I thought you left Spencer?" Jillian whispers to me causing me to stop looking at Demi and CeCe.
"What? I did."
"Then why are you whimpering in pain each time I touch your arm?" She says, pressing her hand against my arm again. I clench my teeth together and then pull my arm away from her.
"I fell over, alright?"
"That's what you used to say, Jennel are you back with him?" She asks, turning to face me and staring at me. "Just tell me the truth Jennel; you're back with him aren't you? After everything he did to you, you ran back to him." She snarls at me while scribbling down the notes off the board.
"Fuck sake Jillian I'm not back with him at all. Yes he fucking hurt me but I'm not back with him, do you really think I would go back to Spencer after everything? He broke into Jess' apartment last night and did this to me." I growl sliding my sleeve up my arm while whimpering slightly. Jillian looks down at my arm and then looks up at me.
"I'm going to fucking kill him!" She yells, slamming her hands against the desk.
"Jillian!" Demi yells while looking up from her desk. "Can you swap places with Chris please?!" She continues, Jillian groans and then grabs her bag before moving to the front of the class room. Chris walks behind me and then sits next to me.
I spend the next twenty minutes copying off Chris, who is so much better at this subject than I am. He doesn't even stop me though; he literally gives me the answers. When the bell goes everyone packs up and begins to walk out of the room. I wait behind; I need to talk to Demi. I wait until everyone is out of the room before standing up and walking towards Demi.
"What the hell is wrong with you today?" I ask, she turns to face me and then sits on her seat.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Don't play stupid Demi, you we're on CeCe's back all lesson, and you moved Jillian, why?"
"First of all how can you not expect me to hate CeCe after she slept with you while I'm with you? Secondly you and Jillian seemed to be having an argument in the middle of my lesson; I would've done that to anyone."
"You really know how to piss me off Demi. If you want me I'll be in some boring lesson or with Wes and CeCe under the bleachers." I say to her before turning and walking towards the door. I place my hand on the handle and she comes up behind me.
"No, you're going to lesson, I'll pick you up from yours tonight at about six"
"What makes you think I want to go to yours now?" I ask while pulling the door open and walking out of her classroom, her next class is lined up against the wall. I walk down the corridor and into the English block; Jillian comes next to me and places her arm around me as we walk into the English class.
~~~
It's the end of school and I'm stood in front of my locker talking to Wes and CeCe, apparently Nick isn't in today which means that CeCe can do whatever the hell she wants, including me…She presses her body against mine and then pressing her lips against my neck.
"Are you coming to mine tonight?" Wes asks as CeCe slides her hand under my shirt, I seriously hope that Demi doesn't walk past right now. Even though I'm not doing anything we'll still end up having a screaming match. CeCe slides her arms round to my back and then scratches down my back, I let out a small moan.
"That's what I'm talking about." Wes says, I look towards him and he's smirking at me. I kick him as CeCe kissing up my neck to my earlobe; she begins to nibble on it as Demi walks past. She just stares at us before quickly walking into the staff toilets. I push CeCe off me and she pouts at me.
"I-I've got to go to the toilet, maybe see you guys tonight." I mutter as I begin to walk down the hallway, I look behind me and Wes and CeCe are now walking out of school. I get to the staff toilets and turn the handle. I walk in and Demi is leaning against the wall with tears rolling down her face. I drop my bag on the floor, lock the door and then walk towards her.
"Why?"
"Demi I didn-"
"Don't you dare fucking say that you didn't do anything because I'm pretty sure I just saw CeCe all over you!" She screams at me.
"I didn't do anything Demi; I can't exactly push her off me can I? She'll kno-"
"No, you can fucking push her off you, just like you pushed Drew off you!" She yells at me, cutting me off.
"That was different, CeCe will know that something is wrong, I've been fucking her for months and if I push her away from no reason she'll know that something is wrong."
"That's no fucking excuse Jennel; you can't just have one person can you? You have to have whoever the fuck you want!" She screams at me in between sobs. I move towards her and place my hand on her arm.
"Demi if you were actually looking you would've seen that I wasn't doing anything. I was just stood there, I wasn't kissing her, and I wasn't touching her. I wasn't doing anything, I don't want her, I don't want anyone but you." I say, looking into her eyes while leaning forward and pressing my lips against hers. "I promise you Demi, I do not want anyone but you." I mumble against her lips, her arms wrap around me.
"I don't know if I can do this Jennel."
"Do what?"
"This. Us, it's all too hard Jennel. I can't do this because I want you to be mine and you can't. You can't just have me, you want meaningless fun and I want more than that."
"Demi you're basically calling me a slut." I say, moving away from her I look her up and down before wiping the tears off my face that I've only just realised are there.
"That's not what I meant and you know that."
"Whatever Demi, you hooked up with me in that club because I looked like someone that wouldn't get attached, because I looked like a slut that you could fuck and then forget didn't you?"
"Jennel stop it, I didn't mean it. I slept with you that night because I thought that you looked hot, you still do. Because I thought you looked fun, because from the second I saw you I fucking liked you!" Demi screams back at me, I slam her against the wall and press my lips against hers. Her arms wrap around me and I suck her bottom lip into my mouth, her hands tangle into my hair as I slide my tongue into her mouth.
"I like you too Demi and you know that I do. Just please give me time."
"I'm trying to give you time Jennel but all you seem to be doing is thinking that I'm here for sex, that my feelings stop when you leave. Then you run off to CeCe for meaningless fun when I'm at home."
"Demi I want more than meaningless fun now, I want you. I want to actually be with someone that wants me back, that doesn't beat me, that doesn't make me sleep with random people. I want to feel safe, when I'm with you I feel safe." I whisper as I begin to cry, Demi wipes away my tears and then presses her lips against mine. "Please don't give up on us before we even start Demi."
"I'm trying not to Jennel, but you need to trust me. You need to stop going with CeCe."
"Demi I'm seriously trying, you think it's easy to just stop something that you've been doing for months?" I ask, staring into her eyes. She leans forwards and rests her forehead against mine.
"Come to mine now, everyone would've left by now and we need to talk properly."
