WARNING!! THIS CHAPTER IS A BIT TRIGGERING! ESPECIALLY WHEN DEJA TALKS TO LUCAS! and there might be #dach scene ;)
Deja:
I walked to my locker and grabbed my stuff. Chloe was talking to me about her and Jack's date and how cute he was. So, she was basically just talking about what she talks about on a daily basis.
It had been a week since Jayden and I ran into Zach and Peyton. It was also her first day back at school since she found out she was pregnant with Zach's kid. Bridget has been awfully quiet about the subject which probably means she doesn't know Peyton is pregnant. Also, Lucas rarely ever comes over anymore. I haven't seen him at school either.
"Jack is probably the most gorgeous human being to ever walk the face of the earth. And his hair is probably the best hair ever," she said.
"You know it's fake, right?"
"Well duh... but permed, unpermed, it's still gorgeous. I wonder what type of conditioner he uses..." I rolled my eyes. "And don't get me started on his arms. And his tattoos..."
"You're drooling again," I said.
"No, I'm not." She checked her mouth anyway to see if she was drooling. She stopped and looked in the direction of the doors. "Don't look now, but Zach just walked in."
I turned towards the doors.
"I said not to look!" Chloe said. I laughed a little as I watched him approach Peyton. He smiled and they kissed like they always do making me want to puke out my intestines. He placed his hand on her stomach.
I turned back to my locker and stared at the picture of Jayden and I. I just wanted to grow up and move in with Jayden.
"Babe!" Jayden yelled running through the halls. Everyone including Zach and Peyton made a pathway so he could get to me. Papers were flying out from his binder and his backpack was half open. Everyone was watching.
He immediately hid behind me.
"Jayden Lee Miller!" Tony yelled marching through the hallway. Everyone just stared at him. He had his hoodie pulled over his head and the strings were tightly pulled so you couldn't see anything but his eyes, nose, and lips. Chris followed close behind looking for something on his phone.
"Save me!" Jayden yelled continued to hide.
"Deja won't be able to save you this time!"
"What's going on?" I asked both of them.
They both started pointing fingers at each other and saying how it was the other one's fault. Chris was still looking at his phone.
"What happened?" I asked again.
"Tony rigged my bathroom so that when I pee in the toilet, it makes this weird acidic mixture that creates a water bomb dye type of thing. So, I peed and it exploded. And I know it's kind of awkward, but my lower half is a light shade of blue." I started to laugh.
"Are you serious?" I asked. He pulled his shorts up a bit so that I could see his blue thighs. I laughed.
"And since he did that, I got him back."
"Yeah, I was sleeping last night and I don't know how he got into my room, but he got in there. And he dyed my hair and my eyebrows blue."
"You're joking..."
Tony slowly removed the hoodie revealing his bright blue smurf colored hair and eyebrows. I laughed. Tony pulled the hoodie back over his head and tied the strings.
"You guys are so stupid!" I continued to laugh so hard that I held my stomach and sunk down on the floor continuing to laugh.
"Yeah, we know," Tony said. "People are going to start calling me smurf!"
"You mean Papa Smurf," I said continuing to laugh.
"This is not the time to be laughing, Deja!" Tony yelled. "I have a real problem!"
"At least your hair is blue. My lower parts of my body are blue. You wanna know what everyone will be calling me?"
"What?"
"Blue ba-"
"Blue basketball," Chris cut him off. "Right, Jayden? You were going to say blue basketball."
"Whatever..." Jayden rolled his eyes.
"Well, lucky for you two, my best friend is a genius with dyes," I said gesturing to Chloe.
"I thought I was your best friend," Jayden said. I kissed his cheek.
"Yup! I can dye your hair back to normal and Jayden, you just need a rag or cotton ball and some rubbing alcohol and the dye should come right off your skin."
"Will it hurt?" Jayden asked.
"I don't know," Chloe said. "But I know it works."
"You're sure you can get my eyebrows back to normal?" Tony asked.
"Of course, follow me," she said. Tony followed her out the doors.
"You wanna help me get the dye off?" Jayden asked with a wink.
"No." I continued to grab things out of my backpack. Chris was still rapidly tapping his phone screen. "What are you doing, Chris?"
"My snake died," he said.
"Jimmy died?!" Jayden sounded worried. Chris nodded sadly.
I gave Chris a huge hug and told him that I was sorry about his snake. He just said thank you for comforting him and then he went home.
Jayden and I drove home. Zach and Peyton left a while ago. I couldn't stand seeing them together. For some odd reason, I felt like the baby wasn't Zach's.
"I'm gonna go get the dye out," Jayden said as we pulled up in front of my house.
"Okay," I said. "Bye, I love you."
"Love you too." I gave him a kiss on the cheek before I ran into the house.
"Hashbrown!?" I called running up the stairs. Hashbrown was sleeping in my bed again. I groaned and moved him to his bed. His bowls were empty so I filled them again.
I started on my homework. I didn't understand the point in homework if it was the last month of the school year.
...
"Hashbrown, let's go for a walk," I said.
Hashbrown got up and got his leash. I put it on and we walked downstairs.
We walked towards the bigger buildings next to the busier roads. We were walked when I saw someone familiar sitting next to a bench in front of a nightclub.
"Lucas?" I asked.
"Hey, Deja..." He had bags around him, a blanket and one sweater for warmth, and he looked like he hadn't showered in days. He was sipping from a bottle of Bud Light.
"What are you doing here?" I asked. Hashbrown seemed to fear him.
"I left. Didn't wanna live in that stupid house anymore. Didn't wanna go to school. Didn't wanna deal with Peyton and the stress she leaves me."
"Peyton?"
"Yeah, she's pregnant."
"I know, she's pregnant with Zach's kid," I said. He laughed and took another swig of his drink. "You know drinking will damage your liver-"
"What are you a health teacher?" He asked rolling his eyes and continuing to drink it.
"No, but I'm just going to tell you that it's not good for you and you need to take care of yourself."
"What's the point in taking care of myself? My life is over. I lost my home, lost my job, I dropped out of school, and I got a girl pregnant. Now, I'm being a little p***y and I'm not taking responsibility for my kid, but I'm letting someone else do it."
"What?" He continued to laugh.
"It's cute that Zach thinks that's his child," he said.
"You're not making any sense..."
"That kid. The one in Peyton's stomach. Mine. That's my child. Not Zach's, but I told Peyton I didn't want it and she somehow found a way to get Zach to believe it." He took another drink.
"No. The kid is Zach's."
"Deja, honey, the kid is mine. Peyton cheated. She played Zach the same way she played Jayden. She's a liar and a cheater. And Zach's a fool for believing her. He's about to ruin his career with a baby that isn't even his."
Lucas was beginning to look a bit drunk and he was on his second or third bottle.
"What do you mean?"
"Peyton and I hooked up. Not once, not twice, three times! Sometimes while Zach was in town. She played him," he said continuing to drink. He gulped down most of the drink. "Want one?"
"It damages your liver."
He shrugged and grabbed another one. He was getting more drunk.
"I should go," I said getting up.
"You should believe me," he said. I began to walk away.
I felt a hand on mine. I was pulled into an alleyway.
A/N: this part is a bit graphic. Skip if you need to. I'll put another note when it's over.
"Get off of me!" I yelled.
"Sh..." It was Lucas. His hands held me pinned to a brick wall. I struggled. He breath smelled like alcohol.
"Lucas, get off!"
"I won't hurt you."
"Lucas, you're drunk!"
Hashbrown tried biting him, but Lucas kicked him. He squealed and ran off.
I tried to get free, but his body had me trapped against the wall. He held me down with his body and his one hand and used his other hand to cover my mouth. I tried to scream, but the sound was muffled by his hand.
I felt hot tears stream down my body as Lucas' hand traveled down my side.
I bit his hand causing him to flinch. But I stayed pinned against the wall. He shook his head.
"Bad move," he said.
I was pressed against the wall. His lips were smashed on mine. I tried screaming, but his lips were muffling everything. His hands were traveling down my body. I screamed for help. I tried everything.
I felt his thumbs hook to the top of my leggings. He was drunk. He wasn't aware of what he was doing. I tried to push him off, but he was sadly a lot stronger than I was. I tried kicking and shoving and more biting, but he stayed immovable like a mountain.
He pulled away to catch his breath.
"Lucas, please..." I cried. He continued and I tried to get loose or find a way to get away from him.
It felt useless to keep trying.
A/N: you can start reading again. if you didn't read it, basically Lucas is drunk and is attacking Deja in an alleyway
Zach:
I was walking down the street to go look for food. Peyton was craving and I didn't know what to get her because she wasn't sure what she wanted.
"Lucas, please..." I heard a familiar voice cry.
Deja?
I forgot about Peyton and I followed the noises. I followed the sound of what sounded like Deja crying and I knew exactly what that sounded like.
As I got closer, I heard screaming and I knew definitely that it was Deja. Hashbrown ran towards me and bit on my shoelace dragging me along.
"Lucas!" She yelled.
"Deja!?" I started running towards an alleyway.
I turned on my flashlight and Hashbrown and I ran to the end of an alleyway.
"HELP!" Deja screamed. I got there to find Deja pinned to a wall by a guy.
"Deja!" I yelled trying to pry the guy off of her. I got him off of her and she got loose. "Deja, run!" I yelled trying to fight off the guy. His breath smelled like alcohol. He was drunk.
"I'm not leaving without you!" She said.
"Deja, go. I'll be fine."
"No." I continued to fight him off. Deja walked over and grabbed me. "Run!"
We both ran. It wasn't until we were about a block away that I noticed Deja's shirt was ripped.
"Here," I said giving her my sweater. Hashbrown was walking next to me.
"Thank you," she said. She put it on.
For the first time in a long time, she hugged me. And I hugged her back.
"I love you, Deja..." I said. "And I'll do anything for you."
She continued to hug me not saying a word.
Deja:
I hugged him. I wanted to tell him or ask him about what Lucas told me, but I wasn't sure if I couldn't trust drunk Lucas. I also wasn't sure if what he said would stand as a reliable source if it was just his drunk-self talking.
