The Cold, Hard Truth

"Jenna..... She....."
He stopped himself.
"She what?"
" She broke out..... " He frowned. Every muscle in my body tensed. I couldn't move. Shadowy figures were everywhere. But this time, it wasn't a dream. This was reality. "I can't do this anymore. If she takes one step in this house, I'm murdering her." I said coldly. My eyes turned from scared to fury. I was done with this shit. She could kiss my ass if she wanted but she was not going to touch me or my Adam ever again or so help me God, she would regret it. Adam smirked. For once, I felt confident in myself. I was going to protect me and Adam if my life depended on it. I sat up and hugged him. "Thanks Adam. you have helped me through so much. I won't hurt anymore. She will regret hurting you in any way. because as soon as I find her she is dead."  " I'm happy for you. But I'm also worried about the shadowy figures. " He said. "Don't be. They are in my imagination." I said aloud, hoping that were true. I smiled at him. He was amazing and I loved him. " love you. " I said. "I love you too..." Her said with a red face. Hah! I made him flustered!
I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. I changed out of my sweat drenched clothes and into some fresher ones.

The next couple of weeks went by and I was happy again. I knew nothing could hurt us as long as we were together. I smiled every time I heard Jenna's name. I knew she couldn't do anything to us. If she so much as touched us she would die. Self defense is key. I couldn't get arrested for that. I started worrying about collage. I had no scholarships. Mostly because I hated school. I was thinking about taking an online collage. That would be easy and I wouldn't have to be social. All of my friends were already in collage. I was a few weeks behind. But Adam wasn't planning on going for another year, so that meant we could have time together. Unlike me, he actually had scholarships through athletics and his good grades. Yeah, a smart jock. I know, it's hard to believe. He never ceases to amaze me. I opened my laptop and started looking for some online collages that were inexpensive. I found a couple and began narrowing it down to the small things that I thought were important to me. I then signed up and waited to see if I got accepted. Sadly, that would take weeks to see if I did. So I had to wait a while.
"Hey Adam, I signed up for a collage online. "
"Do you know if you got accepted.?"
" Nope, I have to wait a couple of weeks. "
"Oh, okay. That gives us a few weeks then." He smirked and walked over to me, kissing my forehead. I hugged him tightly. I then remembered that I would have to get a job of some sort. At least to pay this off. It was cheap, but it was definitely not free.

I started a new job at some fast food restaurant uptown. I didn't have any experience whatsoever because I had never had a job before. No one would ever accept me. That made me sad back then, but now I realize that I shouldn't have cared. It only brought my self esteem down. My shift was an early shift, so I had to open the restaurant every morning until the weekend. My shift ended at 12:00 everyday, so I was only working part time. It wasn't hard either, I liked my job. I honestly did. Mostly because I'm only a cashier. I don't exactly have to worry about anything other than being nice. It can be hard sometimes, but hell, I need money. As I was going home a few weeks later to end my shift, I got an email from the collage I had applied for. It said I had got accepted. I started tearing up when I walked into the house. "Adam!!!!! Guess what!!!" He ran downstairs with a happy expression and readied himself for the giant hug I was about to give him. " I got accepted! " I yelled. He let out a chuckle and congratulated me. After a long hug we decided to go on a date later for a celebration. "Hey adam, what about your collage?" I asked. His smile faded a little bit. Something was clearly bothering him. "I don't want to talk about it.." He said, still frowning. " you could do an online collage like me.. " I said softly, not wanting to anger him. "I was thinking about that... I didn't get accepted to my collage. I was scared to tell you because I thought you would be sad again.." He said. I smiled. " I would have been sad, but I'm glad you told me. You can do what I'm doing. Then we could help each other. " He smiled at what I had said. "Okay, I will." I hugged him. " Thanks Kay. " He said.

So I wasn't sure how to end this chapter. I just wanted it to be on time. I. Working on another book that I hadn't published yet, that's why I hadn't been working on this one as much. But I will keep updating it. ☺. Thanks to all that read, so close to 100 reads! I'm so happy! Thank You all!! ~Squish
