*A/N okay so when I was looking for a cover for my new Jamona book (I'm not going to publish the first chapter until I'm done with this book) I found this when I was scrolling through Google images and then I read the caption and I was like, Ahhhhh! 😄

but I know they're not dating.😑

Anyways back to the story.😁

Ramona's POV.

"Well, there was this kid named Charles and the teacher made us partner up together for this little project we had to do. After school Charles came here and we were in my room, which is now Max and Jackson's room. Anyway one thing led to another and Charles ended up telling me on accident that his father hits him. He also told me not to tell anyone and I promised I wouldn't-"

I cut Stephanie off from her story "so you kept the secret right?"

"No, I was going to but Uncle Jesse talked it out of me. Once I told him the secret he called the cops and the next day I found out the Charles went to a foster home." Stephanie tells me as she finishes off the story.

"How did Uncle Jesse find out that you were hiding something?" I ask her.

"I told Michelle that we were lucking to have a farther that doesn't hit us, when Michelle got mad at dad and Uncle Jesse over heard and Michelle ended up leaving the room and that's when I spilled the secret"

I sat there not knowing what to say, Stephanie went through what I'm kinda going through right now.

"Now is your friend going through the same thing or is it a totally different situation, and I just wasted my time telling you that story?"

I look down at the table, I sit there debating with my self whether or not I wanted to tell her. I mean he told me to keep it a secret and that's what I want to do, I don't like spilling peoples secrets. I do want to help him and the real decision here is do I want him to get hurt or do I want him to be safe? Well obviously I want him to be safe. I open my mouth to say something but I just close my mouth again. What will Jordan think of me if I tell her? He probably won't trust me ever again. You know what I don't care if he doesn't trust me I want him safe and I'm going to do what I know is right.

I inhale and then exhale. "Jordan gets hit by his step dad and his mom knows about it and she does nothing about it, and Jordan is also cutting because of this. He also told me not to tell anyone but you talked me into. Well not really I kinda talked my self into it...but anyway I just don't want him to get hurt anymore"

I feel a wave of like relief wash over as I spilled all that, I mean I kinda feel bad because he told me not to spill his secret. But I also feel good because now I know I'm helping him and he won't be hurt anymore.

I look up from the table to see Stephanie staring at me with wide eyes. "You, outside on the bench. Now!" Stephanie points the back door and I immediately stand up and go outside. I make my way to the bench and I sit down.

A few seconds later Stephanie walks out of the house with Jordan following behind her. "Sit" she commands Jordan.

Jordan rushes over to where I am and he sits down on the bench very close to me. Stephanie paces back and forth in front of us. "Okay, Jordan I'm going to have to call the cops" Stephanie finally stops pacing and she stands in front of Jordan.

"Wait, what? Why?" Jordan asks being very confused.

"Ramona told me everything, from your step dad hitting you, to you cutting"

Jordan slowly turns his head and he glares at me. I mouth 'sorry' and he just shakes his head at me and looks back at Stephanie. I look down to the ground.

Ramona you did a good thing, I remind myself. I continue to stare at the ground though. I dotn want to look up a Jordan he probably doesn't even trust me anymore.

"Hello 911..." I look up to see Stephanie on the phone. I turn my head to see Jordan glaring at me.

Why do I feel so bad for doing this? I mean like I did the right thing. I mean I still spilled a secret. I wish Jordan would stop glaring at me.

"Why would you tell her after I told you not to tell anyone?" Jordan whispers to me angrily.

I just sit there not knowing what to say, I feel like if I say something else it might be the wrong thing and he'll be even more mad at me. So I just stare right back at him.

"Are you going to answer me?" Jordan asks.

I shake my head 'no' and I turn and look at the ground. "I thought you were my friend" I hear Jordan mutter. Making me feel even worse about what I did, but it was still a good thing though. I just have to keep reminding myself that its a good thing.

"You're such a rat" Jordan whispers. I quickly whip my head up and I look at him.

~Flashback~

"Morning Rat." Jackson says. Well, He's still mad.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Yes I know rats love cheese now can you leave me alone." Jackson says wiping his face with his hand and looking at me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Don't, talk to me, look at me, and don't think about me. Because, I really do hate you right now Ramona. You ruined two possible relationships today...you rat" Jackson says which gets me really mad.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You look like a rat" I look at Jackson, he just shrugs and takes a bite out of chicken I yank the chicken and throw it across the room. "MY CHICKEN!" Jackson screams and I cross my arms.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"WHAT DOES HE SEE IN YOU? YOU'RE A FAT UGLY, RAT! " Lola yells through the phone.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ew, you're still with that rat" Someone says from behind me I turn around slowly to see, Lola.

~Flashback 6 years ago~

(7 year old) Ramona's POV

I put on my rat costume that my mommy made for me and I grabbed my candy bag. I walked out of my room and into the living room to see Mommy and Daddy yelling at each other again.

"Darling I will never cheat on you again" My dad said as he got down on his knees in front of my mother.

"Fernando, I don't have time for this. I have to take Ramona trick or treating with DJ and her son Jackson" My mom rolled her eyes at and she turned and she saw me.
"Awww that costume I made for you is adorable" My mom says.

"I know" I say smiling.

"Okay come on" My mom says as she picks the keys up off the living room table and we walk towards the door.

"See you later daddy" I say as I run over to him and I give him a hug.

"Bye princess" He hugs me back and let's go, and I run over to the where mommy is standing near the door. She opens the door and we walk the stairs of our apartment, and then we turn and walk down some more stairs until we finally reach the parking lot.

I spot Mommy's bright red car in the parking lot and I run towards it. I stood next to the back door impatiently waiting for Mommy to hurry up and get her slow butt over here.

She walks over to the side of the car that controls basically the whole car.

I kinda hate this one button that she presses when she's sitting there when I'm moving window up and down and when I finally move the window up and when I was about to move it down it won't move because Mommy pressed some button to make the window stuck there.

I get in the back as soon as mommy unlocks the door and I get into my car seat. She starts the car and we're off towards Dj's house.

I wonder when were gonna get there...mommy us taking to long to get there.....ain't nobody got time for all this waiting I want my candy now.....I'm sleepy.....no I'm not I'm wide awake....okay I'll just take a little nap.

I close my eyes and I go to sleep.

~~~

I wake up feeling something hitting my face, I open my eyes to see Jackson poking my cheek.

"Why are you poking me?" I ask him.

"Because I want to" Jackson simply replies as he continues to poke me in the face.

"Can you stop?" I ask getting irritated.

"Nope" Hes getting very annoying.

~~~~~

I walk down the street holding Mommy's hand, my bag is half way full and so is Jackson's. There's alot of kids our here some of them I recognize from Jackson's sixt birthday party. I remember that day I blew out his candles and I ate his cake and he was mad at me for like a month.

"Hey look there's a clown" Jackson says making my head snap up in the direction of where the clown is. My eyes wide and let go of Mommy's hand quickly as I turn the other way and run for my life.

I hate clowns, they scare me. Like how do you pull so many napkins out of your mouth that's just not natural. Splat! I trip on a crack in the sidewalk and I fell face first into a mud puddle.

I puch my self up to see my candy bag soaking in the mud puddle. I turn my head to see Jackson laughing at me and then he starts taunting me. "Ramona the rat, tripped on a crack. She fell in mud and now she's all sad" Jackson repeated this over and over again. My eyes started to sting with tears and I just let all the tears.

Soon all the other kids on the street started taunting me too. I looked around to see this girl with long black hair taunting, then this little bo with short black hair taunting me, and standing next to the little boy with black hair was a boy with blonde hair taunting.

Everyone was taunting me except this one little girl with freckles and brown hair she walked over to me and helped me up. She walked me back over to my mommy. She gave me a slight smile before she skipped away.

"Shhh, its okay sweet heart" My mom tells me trying to calm me down. But its not helping, I continue to cry as the taunting still goes on.

I look at Jackson and he's still taunting me too, but DJ pulls him over to her and she pinches Jackson's hand. Making Jackson stop taunting me immediately and I could see his eyes were starting to water.

We walk down the street towards the cat and I look down sadly at my candy bag that's sitting in the mud.

Once we reach the car. We stop and DJ says "Jackson apologize to Ramona right now"

"Sorry Rat" Jackson mutters.

"Jackson!" DJ yells at him.

"Sorry Ramona" Jackson corrects himself.

"For?" DJ pushes.

"For making you feel worse after you already fell down in a mud puddle in front of everyone."

"Its okay" I whisper. It was really not okay I feel horrible right now. All these people probably think I'm klut and that was just straight up embarrassing. I'm never going trick or treating ever aging in my life.

~ end of Flashback~

Jordan continues to look at the ground, but I guess he noticed that I was looking at him because he looked up at me.

"What?" He asks me all grouchily.

"Did you just call me a rat?" I say through gritted teeth.

"Yeah so" He rolls his eyes at me.

I take my hand and I slap him across the face leaving my red hand print on his cheek.

"Don't ever call me rat again!" I yell as I stand up and I run back into the house up the stairs and into my room I slam my door shut and belly flop and face plant into my pillow.

I hear my door creak open, I look towards the door to see Max.

"You okay?" He asks me.

"No not really" I sigh. He closes my door and he walks over to my bed. He sits down right next to my head.

"So what's up?" he asks, I sigh and I roll over onto my back.

"Its a long story"

"I have time"

"Okay well..."
