Just Go With It. (Editing of Minor Errors!)

Chapter Thirty-Five

“You wanna play dirty? I can play dirty” He whispers in my eye. I shudder under his breath. He starts ripping at my shirt.

“Please stop” I say over and over as he rips my shirt off as I lay there helplessly. Suddenly the pressure stops. I don’t feel a body on top of mine anymore. I try to open my eyes and I see two figures fighting to my left. A few seconds later, I hear his voice.

“Jess?”

“Mhm?”

“It’s over now. He won’t hurt you again” Jack whispers. I look up at him and he smiles slightly.

“Jack?”

“yeah?”

“Why does this keep happening?”

“What?”

“Us. You and me. Why can’t we just live a normal, happy life?”

He chuckles a bit and kneels down next to me

“Maybe it’s God testing us, to see if what we have is actually real.”

“Or?”

“Or maybe you’re just bad luck”

I smile slightly and shake my head, immediately wincing from the pain.

“Where’s Mark?”

“Uh, well he’s kind of huddled in a ball over there” Jack points.

“You did that to a student?”

“Well not technically. I did tackle him, but Will and I were walking to class when we saw him on you. So he did all the beating” Jack says

Will is the captain of the football and baseball team. Basically he is your average ‘It’ Boy, but he has a decent personality.

“Where is he now?”

“He went to get the principal, ahh speak of the devil” Jack says as Will and Principal Tim run over.

“What the hell?!” He asks as he looks at me and then over at Mark. I look up at him and I smile a little

“Hi.”

“Jess, are you alright?”

“Nothing a few Advil won’t fix”

He nods a bit and walks over to Mark, lying there on the floor. His nose obviously broken as blood is spread over his face and both of his eyes are already starting to bruise.

The Police walk in a few minutes later and take Mark out in handcuffs. I’m sitting on the floor with my back against the wall.

“Here, take this” Will says. I look up at him and he is handing me his sweatshirt. I look down at my exposed stomach and I smile, sheepishly.

“Thank-you, for everything” I say. He sits down next to me. I slip the sweatshirt on, basking in its warmth.

“It’s really no problem. But if you wanted to make it up to me, you’d come to the senior prom with me.” He says with a smile.

“Oh uh, I don’t know”

He chuckles a bit and looks down at me “Jess, I know about you and Jack.”

“What?”

“Jack is my cousin.” Will says

“Really?”

“Really” He says, smiling some “So is that a yes?”

“Why do you want to go to prom with me? I mean, you could go with any girl in this school.”

“But I want to go with you.”

“Why?”

“You seem genuine and nice. You’re pretty easy on the eyes, too” He says and I blush a little.

”Oh uh thanks?”

“So yes?”

“Yes, I will go to prom with you” I say and he smiles and nods

“Good, cuz I wasn’t leaving until you said yes” He says

Jack walks over and looks at the two of us. “Are you seriously hitting on my girlfriend?” Jack asks as he squats in front of us.

Will smiles and shrugs his shoulders. “Hey, I can’t help it. You got yourself an amazing girl here, Jacky boy. Don’t mess it up”

Jack chuckles a bit “I don’t plan on it.”

“Hey guys?” I ask and they both look at me. “Sorry to interrupt your little pow-wow here but my head is throbbing and I’m pretty sure I have yet another concussion. So can one of you take me to the nurse, please?”

“I will!”

“I will!” They both say at the same time.

I smile and roll my eyes. I try to stand up and fail. Will and Jack both help me. I put one arm around each of them and we walk down the hall. It’s a good thing this happened during class. My hair is a mess and I have blood on my cheek.
