(Chapter Four Part One)
They walked into the school together, Aurora wearing his jacket, laughing. Right away, she felt the stares, heard the whispering, and she stiffened. She knew they were all whispering about them being together, or at least, given the reactions that everyone else had about Jonathan, that's what she figured they were whispering about.
She glared when a senior named Cadence walked over and then asked in a mocking sweet tone, " I heard you two live right next door to one another.. Tell me, has he fucked you yet? Because he's probably only after you to fuck you. I mean.. That's his reputation. Girls are nothing to him."
Jon growled at her, clenching his fists as he fixed his eyes on her before stating calmly, "Ignore her, Rora. She's just pissed because I wouldn't fuck her, if she were the last bitch on this whole god damn planet."
Aurora looked back and forth between them, and then said quiely, "Am I missin something?"
Cadence giggled and walked off down the hallway, confident that she'd started ripping the two apart, her job was done.
"What the fuck was that about?" Aurora asked pointedly, not liking the feeling she was getting right now. She glared and Jon said quietly, "She came on to me once, I told her that I had standards, and I didn't wanna catch an STD." as he looked at Aurora, then said with a quiet voice, "Ya gonna hear a lot about me. If ya can't handle it, fuckin leave me alone." before he started to walk away. Aurora grabbed his hand and said "Oh hell no you don't get to do that. Look, I'm not gonna believe everything I hear. If I did? I wouldn't be here right now, because the dog shooting rumor? That was sort of scary."
Jon looked at her and said quietly, "It wasn't a rumor."
She studied him intently, and blinked, as she said quietly, "Oh." and tried to get her head around that. It scared her, yet she still didn't want to just turn and run. And this scared her to death. Whatever she was feeling for him was so strong that she was willing to just dismiss all the stuff she heard.
But then again, she wasn't a saint. She'd done quite a few bad things herself, in all honesty. And she figured that maybe she should just give him a chance.
After all, she'd always been told that everything had two sides. And he had saved her every single time she'd needed it. Even when she hadn't been willing to just let him save her.
"Let's get to class." Jon said as he slid his arm around her, pulling close to him. They walked to class, and took their seats, and his hand found her leg beneath the desk, as he smirked and winked at her. She blushed and put her hand on top of his, as she leaned in and said quietly, " Maybe I won't fall asleep."
"I won't let ya." Jon said with a wink as he leaned back in, let his tongue run slowly over the outer edge of her ear. She blushed a deep red and then said quickly, "Hey.. Stop that."
"What?" he asked, pretending innocence.
The teacher came in and started the video for the day, and a note landed on her desk. She unfolded it, and read it, rolling her eyes as she saw that someone else was trying to come between them, yet again. She glared and biting her lip answered the letter, then showed Jonathan what it said.
Jon growled to himself, made a mental note to find this guy after class, show him who Aurora belonged to, put an end to all of this with other guys coming between them right now. Because he was not about to lose her for some other fuck.
She was his now, she was going to stay with him.
By lunch, they'd both realized that it seemed like the world was against them and that if they didn't do something, they'd wind up walking away from one another.
But when they got back to the apartment buildings that afternoon, and her grandfather cornered Jonathan, Aurora realized that this was not going to be easy. But she reminded herself that nothing worth having is ever easy to keep. And she wanted him, she had to be with him. Somehow, she knew that this was it for her, what they had was too powerful to just walk away from.
Her grandfather pulled her aside and then said calmly, "If you keep seeing him, girl, I'm going to be forced to take action. I'm not watching you get knocked up and having to raise some little brat for you."
"If that did happen, you'd be the last person I'd ever ask for help, so relax." Aurora said calmly as she looked at him and then continued, "Nothing you can say or do is going to make me walk away. So you might as well get over it."
Her grandfather smirked and said quietly, "We'll see about that, little girl." before walking off down the hallway, giving Jonathan one last glare.
Jon groaned to himself. He'd heard the whole conversation, and he was not only furious, he was also a little more afraid than he'd ever really been before.
He hugged her and kissed her forehead and said "Relax. That old bastard can't do anything."
But neither of them realized just how wrong they were about to be proven, or just how hard that it was about to get for them to be together and be happy.
