Someone's Jealous

I stood up hold my hand out for her.

She looked up at me giving me the cutest damn smile while grabbing my hand.

I walked her back to the school making sure I never let her hand go.

_____________

When we got back to the school I see several eyes on us. we both walked up to Craig and his group.

"Hey Craig, i need to talk to you when we get the chance." I said squeezing her hand tight. 

He looked over at the guys.

"I'll be back guys." 

"Oh okay Craig." 

We walked to the janitor's closet and closed the door.

"So... I made it clear to Jess that we aren't going let her near her mom. I am.. 'Kidnapping her'  but we need a place. Do you know of a place?" 

"Yeah actually... There's an abandoned school bus nearby. We can set everything up so she can stay there for awhile..."

I look over at Jess.

"You okay with that?"

"Anywhere is better then home with her." She said hiding her face again with her scarf.

"Can you come with me and her after school to bus and maybe help us set it up?"

"Yeah I will, and also if it's okay with you the guys want to help too... They know about her... They already put two and two together. Don't worry Jess they really care about you and what to help."

"Are you okay with that?" I asked looking back at her. 

She nodded. "Thank you Craig..." she said softly.

"We will get you out of this mess, okay?"

"Thank you so much..both of you.... I don't know what I'd do without you." She said choking up rubbing her eyes. 

I smiled.

"We are here for you, okay? Now, let's go to class before we get in trouble."

While we were walking to class I never once let go of her hand. A part of me was in a huge protective mood while the other part of me just loved the feeling of finally holding a girl's hand.

When we made it to the classroom my group looked at me as if they couldn't believe their eyes. 

"No way..."

Craig walked up next to me flipping him off just for me.

"Hey, don't flip me off!!!" 

I squeezed her hand. "Come on Jess.." 

I took her to her seat letting go of her hand. 

I walked over to me seat. The moment I sat down I hear. 

"Dude, you didn't tell me your dating Jess. Why didn't you tell me?"

I look at Stan and he looking slightly slight anger.

"Stan, it literally happened at recess."

"Where were you? I was looking for you." 

"We went to Stark's pond. She wanted to be away from fat ass."

He looked over at her.

"So.... You two are a thing now?" 

"Yeah... Why?"

"Oh no reason I just noticed you with her a lot more than me is all."

"Are you kidding Stan, are you jealous?" I groaned.

"No I'm not... I just....you know what nevermind.....Are we still hanging out after school?" 

My eyes widen in guilt.

'Shit I forgot.'

"Oh uhh Stan, I actually have plans." 

He crossed his arms raising his eyebrow. 

"With her?" He snarled.

I felt my head throb the second he said that. 

"Stan... Don't be like that you don't understand what's going on." 

"Yeah.... I do.... I understand that this girl you just started dating is taking your best friend away....

My heart jolted feeling my body shake.

"Stan?" 

He looked away causing me to fire up in anger but at the same time I wanted to cry. 

And look over at Jess feeling my emotions almost pouring out. 

'I don't care what he says or thinks. I know she's in danger. I have to keep her away from her mom. After all she said, she could easily die by her hands. What if that actually happens? Would her mom actually kill her? A life without Jess..I couldn't imagine it. Correction... I won't ever imagine it. I will do whatever it takes to prevent her from getting hurt again. By my side she won't die. Not without me dying myself.'
