The next morning, I went to school. Covered my arm so on one will see the scares. Kou was waiting for me after school to take me back "home". "Fine! Fuck you!" Jace yelled. I went straight upstairs and shut my door. Later that night, I heard a soft knock on my door. "Come in." I whispered. Jace walked through my door. I sat upright and looked at him. "Hey." "Hi." Then silence. "Uhm did you need something?" I asked. My voice was husky and annoyed. He walked closer to my bed and sat down. "What's your deal?" he asked. I was dumb founded for a second and then said nothing. "Hey? You good?" he said. I nodded. He reached for my but I scooted away. He dropped his hand and sighed. "Sorry for calling you a whore. I didn't know." he said quietly. "Its fine." I said. He looked at me and smiled. Its a beautiful smile. So loving and kind. I hugged him from behind. I felt him stiffen and the sink into the hug. I started to cry. "Its gonna be ok. Whatever you were running from, he or she can't hurt you here." he said patting my back. I pulled away and went back to sleep. Jace got up, but I stopped him. "Stay here. With me. Please." I said softly. He sighed and layed next to me. "I'll stay. You will never be alone in this."
