The tears I have shed. My heart being utterly ripped out, it was the worst feeling in the world. Phillip, David and Jake , no matter how many times I tried to forget and move on I couldn't. And the words of mr. Mckulk on repeat, threatening and abusing, why must my life be like this?

I finally managed to get out of bed and walked into the kitchen to my mother, "morning baby, how was it?"

Now registering what she said, "how was what?" I asked confused.

"Phillips funeral." She urged me on.

"It was a pleasant fair well. There was a lot of the towns folk there." I said.

"Really, he must have been liked." She said.

"Yer." I said now looking at the floor.

"I'm sorry baby I made you upset." As I felt my mothers hands rap around me, engulfing me in a hug.

"It's okay." I said in a quite voice.

My mum then looked at me and patted me on the back, "go make yourself some breakfast baby, I need to do some cleaning." And with that she kissed my forehead and went to go do some cleaning.

I walked over to the kitchen and decided on having eggs and bacon.

Once cooked I sat down at the dining room table, eating the comforting food.

Nearly finished eating, there was a banging coming from the door followed by a, "I'll get it." Which my mother shouted.

I sat there continuing to devour the food in front of me until Jake came storming into the dining room and sat down besides me.

I looked up at him and looked back at my food, not at all interested in what he has to say.

"Serena what's wrong?" Jake asked.

I decided to carry on ignoring him, as it was the best option, "Serena talk to me." He said now placing his hand under my chin moving my face towards his.

"Leave me alone." I stated in a quite voice.

"No! I won't, I want to know what's wrong and what happened yesterday." He shouted.

"Well you won't find answers here!" I shouted back.

"Serena..." Jake said in a defeated voice.

"Goodbye Jake ." I said looking down at my food yet again.

I felt a familiar hand grab my chin to look back up at the stubborn boy. He didn't say anything, he just stared like he was thinking. Thinking of what, I don't know. Then he started to look at my lips, debating.

Then I felt lips, like silk going against mine. Moving perfectly together, a kiss full of passion and desire and most of all love. A kiss I shall never forget made by jack.

He then pulled away and looked me in the eyes, "like I said, I will never leave you again." He then smiled that charming smile of his.

"You have to go Jake ." I said looking at the ground.

"Why?" Jake pleaded.

"Because it's not safe." I whispered.

"What do you mean it's not safe?" He questioned.

I looked back up into his eyes, now tears slipping down my cheeks, "it not safe for you to be near me."

"Why?" He said again with tears threatening to spill.

"Just leave Jake please!" I begged, now sobbing.

Jake then stood up and grabbed me as well. He held me in a tight hug not wanting to let go.

I pulled away from him, "it's for the best." I said before walking away from him.

I heard the front door close and I ran to my mother, who was standing by the front door and hugged her as I sobbed into her shoulder, "shhhhh, I know dear." My mum said, trying to sooth me down.

"But I love him mum, why must life be so cruel?" I asked between sobs.

"I know dear, life can be a cruel place." She cooed.

I sobbed some more before talking again, "and the worst part is, is that I don't want to leave him, I am forced to." I sobbed out.

My mother looked at my face, "baby what do you mean?"

"Mr. Mckulk demanded I stay away from his family as he thinks that Phillip dying is my fault, although I wouldn't blame him, it was my fault." I said now hiccuping.

"No it's not your fault, baby it was never your fault. And like I said before, life is cruel and life decided to be cruel to Phillip as well as everyone that cared about him." My mother cooed again.

Then a bash came from outside, I looked out of the curtains of our house to see jack running off, "I'm sorry baby girl, he demanded that he needed to know." My mother pleaded.

"Mother, how could you?! Now I am dead for sure." I said now crying again.

All this crying was making me tired but I needed to find Jake and talk to him. I urged myself out of the door, making sure to avoid my mother.

I walked out into the darkness of early morning. Running in the direction of where I saw jack go.

I ran to his house and banged on the door, no response. I banged on the door again, and again no response.

Where the heck were the Mckulks? I walked around the farm and there was no sign of any of the mckulk residence.

Where would the family go?

I wondered back home but heard a riot coming from the bar so I decided to walk in and check it out. And low and behold there was Jake and his father fighting.

Mrs. Mckulk was no where in sight, weird. And the same for David.

I walked passed the crowd and ran between the two guys, "stop!" I kept on shouting but to my luck it just made the situation worse.

Mr. Mckulk sent a punch my way, which hit me square in the face. I collapsed to the floor, mr. Mckulk then spat at me and said, "I told you to stay away and what do you do, you come back like a cockroach." He then spat on me, like last time.

I stared at the man, worried of what will happen next. He was about to pick me up when Jake came over and flew at his dad, "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH MY GIRL!!" Jake screamed in his dads face whilst repeatedly punching him.

I managed to somehow stand up and walked over to Jake holding his arm, "Jake stop!" I begged and then I felt movement seize.

Jake looked at me with his loving eyes and got off of his father and engulfing me in a bone crushing hug and whispered into my ear, "like I said, I will never leave you again."

I kissed him this time as 'awwwwws' erupted from the audience which was surrounding the fight. I pulled away and looked into Jakes eyes, he had an expression of love in his eyes and I adored it.

He then surprised me by kissing me, with a demanding kiss, which held so much emotion for such a little thing. I kissed him back knowing that he might feel the same as I do about him.

I looked back into his eyes as I finally smiled. He smiled back at me, which made me feel all sorts of emotions. I finally felt happy.
