Chapter 27- The Necklace, The Cabin,The Gun-shot, Panic Attack, and The Kiss

"I want it back!" I demanded.

"Tatum, he's a abusive a*swhole!" He yelled "He hit you all the time, yet you still want the necklace the f***ing a*swhole gave you"!?

"Yes"! I yelled.

"Why"?! He tested.

"Because he actually loved me once" I yelled at and Mark was silent.

Holly and Gwen came down by now.

Mark sighed and reached for his back pocket and took out the necklace and handed it to me.

"Don't touch it ever again" I warned.

He clenched his jaw.

I turned and River still had his hand clasped around my wrist.

"Let go of me".

"Tatum, you need to calm down, you're shaking".

"I'm fine! Now let me go!" I yelled.

"Tatum" He warned and his grip tightened on me.

"Ow"! I whimpered in pain.

His eyes bored into mine "Calm down".

I gulped and started to relax and he let go of me.

I rubbed the spot on my arm where he had his grip.

I walked upstairs and outside.

**************************

I knocked on the door.

"Babe" Jake smirked and opened the door.

I said "I want to talk to Beth".

"Have you been crying"? He asked concerned and wiped a tear away.

I swatted his hand away "No! You don't get to be concerned"!

"Tatum, what happened"? He asked.

"Wheres Beth" I asked seconds away from tears.

"She's not home, just tell me".

I shook my head and looked down "I-I can't".

"Tatum" He pleaded.

I ended up blurting everything out and he wrapped his arms around me in a hug and I cried into his shoulder.

But the thing was I didn't feel safe.........

I didn't feel safe like I did when I was in River's arms.........

"So what movie do you want to watch" He asked as he sat down on the other end of the couch.

I shrugged "Anything".

"How about Friends"?

I nodded and he went on Netflix and put it on.

I woke up and sat up and Jake wasn't there.

I rubbed my eyes and stood up and walked into the kitchen.

I saw Jake on the phone; pacing back and fourth.

"No! Stop with the bulls*it!" And he hung up and I cleared my throat and his head snapped towards me.

"O hey you're up. Sorry about that-" He scratched the back of his neck.

I said "It's fine" and then their was knocking at the front door.

Jake said "I'll get it" then jogging past me and to the front door.

"Where the hell is she"!? I heard River's voice yell.
