JACOB

Chapter 17| Bonefire

"Babe wake up." Jacob said shaking me slightly.

My eyes fluttered open I looked around and saw cars passing by us, suddenly remebering where I am. My panties are wet, f**k I peed a little.

"So you had a nice dream?" He asking smirking.

I shook my head and shrug my shoulders, " Ohm sort of." I guess it was nice, it was spooky."

"You wanna tell me about it?"

I'm not about to say, 'I had a dream about me jerking you off on your living room couch.'

I blushed and shrugged my shoulders, "Well it was really wierd actually."

"Tell me"

"I was dreaming about a muderous clown killing people in a small town. It was entertaining because-- you know people do stupid things in scary movies so the clown killed those people.. first." I said. Technically it's not a lie, I did dream about that a couple of days ago and I did in fact enjoy it. I have a weird mind, I like freaky things.

"And that was funny?"

"Well it wasn't funny but it wasn't scary either. I kind of liked it." He stayed silent and leisurely nodded his head. "You think I'm weird don't you?" I asked. I wouldn't be suprised if he says yes.

"No it's not that." He said as he looked for a parking space.

"Alright. So I take pleasure in watching and reading scary s**t that can be unnerving to most people. Is that a turn off for you? I mean because its wierd, ya' know with me being a girl and everything." I rambled.

He chuckled, "It's not. How about we watch one someday." He said parking.

"Okay, I'd like that."

I got out the car and came to my side and opened my door.

"Thank you." I said with a wide smile.

"You're welcome." He said. He pulled me closer and kissed me, his hands hands cupping my face. I placed my hands his belt buckle and gave it a light tug. He took my hands in his and interwined our fingers, "Another day baby," he said kissing my cheek.

I playfully groaned and tugged on his arm, I kissed his lips and walked in front of him teasingly. He followed behind me.

We walked to one of the jewelry stores; everything is shiny. Makes me want to take out money from my savings account and buy something, but I'm not here for me we're are here for Katie. And I definitely don't want to ask Jacob to buy it for me. He shouldn't have to. Speaking of, I have to work tonight.

"Maybe we should get a bracelet."

"I think she'd like that." We both looked around at the Jewelry I found a gorgeous ruby ring, it had baby diamonds around it-- it complemented the jewel center that complemented it whole thing, surrounded by baby diamonds around it. But of course Katie hates the f*****g color, especially on jewelry. She hates colorful diamonds on rings period, execpt blue. She says those type of rings were worn "frequently"in the A.D. or some s**t about it being an old style.

"You like it?"

"Not for Katie."

"For you."

"Yeah I do but it's okay, it's an unnecessary luxury."

"Excuse me sir can I see this ring ."

"Jacob-"

"Come on just to look at it?"

"Hmm, okay."

The Jeweler showed us the piece of jewelry it was beautiful. I gave it back to him though and told him he can put it back. i

Jacob shook his head.

"What?"

"You obviously want it, let me buy it for you."

"Okay maybe you can buy something like this for me in the future, but I am not allowing you to waste your money on me especially if its unessary."

"Alright you are the boss." He said raising his hands in surrender.

i shook my head, "Yes-- now sir can I see you watch bracelets."

We left the store, the bracelet is getting custom made Jacob is picking it up in 2 days.

"I need to use the restroom stay I'll be right back." I walked away really needing to pee.

I speed walked to the nearest bathroom, when I was done I washed my hands and left back to Jacob. On my way towards Jacob, I bumped into someone. It was Kai. My ex. Goodness Gracious. I was hoping to never see this bastard ever again. He was with a group of friends.

I put my head down and apologized hoping he wouldn't notice me. But my luck is terrible. Of course he saw me.

I tried to walked back to Jacob before he catches up.

"I'll meet you guys at the food court." I heard him say.

"Fuck." I whispered.

"Hey Scarlett," He called for me and grabbed my arm to stop me. My heart started to beat like a damn like a drum. I was scared, this motherfucker was abusive, he was a cheater, and liar, he was manipulitive. Asshole drove me insane, I never had a male lay a hand on me until I was in a realtionship with him; my own father didn't even lay his hands on me but i had to succumb and indure his hand. Not only was scared to leave him but he minipulatedme to forgive him everytime he done some bullshit to hurt me. Basically he made me feel like s**t and scared to leave him.

I took deep breath hoping Jacob was the type of guy that doesn't let other guys talk to their girlfriend. Oh f**k. Now I hope he considers me as his girlfriend.

"Hi Kai."

"I missed you." Kai said. He still had a grip on my arm.

"Oh okay." I said slowy.

"Did you miss me?"

"Uh yeah I guess so." I said looking around any where but his eyes.

"You know I'm sorry about everything I put you through." He said putting his other hand on my shoulder.

"That's okay I'm over it. Do you mind letting me go?"

"Yeah but let me get your number, I tried calling you and it said your phone disconnected."

"I rather not."

"You know technically you are still my girlfriend, we never actually spoke about breaking up."

"Well I consider you can ex so..."

"So you have a new boyfriend? Do you, you little hoe," He said threateningly. Barley bought me a drink and the posissiveness already starts. FML.

"That's none of your business. I'm not your concern anymore. And do not call me that, " I said pulling away from him. He pulled me again holding me by my wrist.

"Is there a problem here?" Jacob said coming near us. Kai let me go.

"No there is no problem just talking to my girl about something." Kai said timidly. Jacob is a big guy.

I gritted my teeth, "I've never seen this person in my life."

I swear if looks could kill, I'd be dead. Kai looked at me with a death glare.

"This is the Kai that I heard so much about. You the little boy, I hear you like to beat on women." Jacob said taking his hand and shaking it. He started to squeeze his hand, I swear I heard a bone crack.

"f**k! Ow stop." Kai said crouching in pain.

"I thought my sister made it clear when she f****d up your face, broke two of your ribs to never come close to Scarlett again, huh." Jacob said crushing his hand.

Jacob was mad I could see it in his eyes; he had an evil glare in his eyes that made me shiver. i see why people are scared of him now, he's scary when he is mad. I looked around know one seem to really give a f**k.

"Jacob stop that's enough!"

He immediately let go. Kai fell to the floor, clutching his wrist.

"Are you okay Kai?"

"Does it look like I'm f*****g okay, my hand is broken?"

"Scar come on."

"But Jacob--"

"He deserved that and so much more, come on." He said taking me by my waist and walking away with me. I looked back he still looked like he was in pain. "I had that under control you didn't have to do that." I said lying through my teeth, who knows what would've happened of Jacob didn't interfere. I'm grateful to him, but I really hate seeing people hurt and its not like in the movies and s**t, I start to feel really bad like I am going through the same thing the person is going through.

"He would've hurt you. You must be stupid to think I'd let him touch you like that again."

"How do you know?"

"Why did you lie to me?"

"Because he's in the past where I'd like to keep him."

"You were scared anyways, you were practically begging for me to find you."

I rolled my eyes. "He has to go to the hospital now, Jacob."

"And how many times have you had to go to the emergency room because of him. I should've given him a fractured skull."

"Please don't talk like that. I just hope someone finds him. Oh my gosh." I said brushing my back with my hands, taking a deep breath. As much of an asshole he is, my heart breaks for him. He probably really does love me but has a hard time showing it.

There I go again. Loving whats not good for me.

"Scarlett-"

"Don't-- don't do it," I say cutting him off, "I just... hate watching people in pain."

"I know baby-"

"Please just take me home. Forget about it-- forget it happened." I said raising my hand in the air shaking my head.

Week later...

I haven't spoken to Jacob since he dropped me home from the mall. He told me he had to go out of town for a conference. He also said he didn't want to leave with me mad at me him, so I don't exactly know where he is. Katie birthday is tonight so that something. It's going to be a bonfire in the woods. I can't plan something that big so, some people in the school planned it for her. It's nice, also a reason to drink a lot of alcohol. Not me though, I learned my lesson.

Maybe a drink or two.

I'm honestly not even mad at Jacob anymore. After coming home, I may or may not called every hospital to find out where Kai has been admitted to. I may have visited him. I felt guilty and I hate having a guilty conscience-- not that seeing him made me feel any better. He was still an ass hole even while being in a hospital bed, I almost suffocated him with the f*****g hospital pillow. He criticized me for leaving with Jacob, called me a w***e. I wasn't going to take that s**t anymore; not from anyone. I punched him in his nose and I've felt better, of course security had to kick me out.

I stood in my closet looking through my clothes to see which outfit I was going to wear. I can't wear heels, so that is out of the question-- dirt and heels-- do not go. It's not like I'm going all out or anything. I took my read dress out of the hanger, I put it over to see how it'd look on me. It's a tight and stretchy, it reached my knees-- but it is probably going to cold. So no. I resorted with some grey high waisted jeans with a green top, leather jacket and combat boots. I went in front of my mirror and put light make-up on. I grabbed my phone texted Katie, I'm on my way to her.

It is 8:59 and I think the bonfire at late nine. I have plans to meet up with Katie so we'd go together, she knows her way around the forest better than I do. I went to the kitchen and got heated some leftover food from dinner. If I do decide to drink it shouldn't be on an empty stomach. I ate as I waited for my uber.

When my uber came I went downstairs and the driver took me to Katie's house. I opened the door as it was open. "Hello," I shouted. No one was here it was quite, "Katlyn!"

"Took you long enough."

"I was eating."

"No s**t," She said sarcastically, "Let's go."

No this b***h didn't. I thought walking behind her dumbfounded. Katie doesn't talk to me like that, not unless she's really mad at person. So what the f**k did I do?

I shrugged it off, as we walked out the back, it was connected to the forest. We walked into the woods to her party, it was awkwardly silent.
