Chapter 6

I wake up and hear the shower on. I quickly cover my eye with makeup which hurt like h*ll. I walk into the room and change into a hoodie and shorts. I put my hood on and sit on the floor. I feel like I was just hit by a bus. Steve walks out in a towel.

"Hey...what happened last night and why do I have scratches all over me." Steve asks putting shorts on. I take a deep breath.

"You got drunk made me stay up till 5 am and got in a fight with a gang." I try not to mention my eye.

"WHAT!!!" Steve yells in disbelief

"Yeah."

"Wait but...I remember saying somthing about you and grape jelly. Umm, your eye looks...like grab jelly! wow i remembered. Ok so what about your eye?" he asks my heart seems to stop.

"Um....n-nothing." I say nervously

"Why aren't you looking at me?" Steve asks. Steve grabs my hood and pulls it off. there are tears running down my cheeks and Steve sees my black eye.

"Who did this," he says madly.

"You, you did! I was trying to save you and you punch me in the eye!" I sob and Steve goes silent I look at him with his hand over his mouth tearing up.

"I-I'm so sorry" Steve says softly. I sniff and wipe my tears.

"You were drunk you didn't know," I say rubbing his back. I sit in his lap like a dog and close my eyes. I feel his soft warm hands around me.

"This, this is why I fell in love with you," I say softly

"Wait...you love me?" Steve asks his face is pink.

"I-I" I stutter and my heart beat faster. I feel my face get hot.

"Yeah, I love you Steve." I say softly

"That's amazing!! I lo-" I interupt him

"-Please listen, I love you...but I can't. I was in a relationship before and yes you've done nothing wrong I just..." I sigh and hug myself tightly.

I tell Steve all about that night.

"Hi babe" jackson says in my ear.

"Hey handsome" I kiss his cheek and keep doing the dishes from the dinner I made us. jackson pushes his body on mine. My eyes widen.

"w-what are you doing?" I ask nervously

"Don't worry this will feel better then rubbing soap on a dish" Jackson pins me to the wall hard.

"J-Jackson!! get off me please you're hurting me!" I scream out in pain.

I sniff and my eyes fill with tears. Steve hugs me tightly.

"I won't let anyone do this to you ever again. I'm here now." Steve wipes my tears I sniff and hide my face in his chest.

"Sara I love you. You're the only girl for me. You're my princess. Come on can I get a smile" Steve asks. I look up at him.

"pleeeeeaseeee" Steve says in a funny voice. I giggles and smile I hug Steve tighter.

"Thanks, Steve."
