Meghan's P.O.V

I stop at the warehouse that Evie and Drake usually stay at since they don't have an actual place to stay. I cut the engine and get out of the car walking up to the large garage door. I raise my hand and begin to bang on it, ignoring the loud crashing sound that I am making.

Jake grabs my hand, stopping me. "Don't do this." Jake says and I send him a glare, pulling my hand out of his grip.

"You don't understand, Jake. You have no idea." I say, about to bang my fist on the garage door again but Jake grabs my shoulders, turning me so that I am facing him.

"Then tell me." Jake says and before I can reply, I hear a loud chuckle come from behind me and I turn around, looking at Drake who has a cigarette in between his fingers. He looks over at Jake and smirks before taking a drag of the cigarette.

"Told you she was wrapped around your finger. Look at the control you have over her." Drake says, referring to me when he says 'she'. I mean, I think he is referring to me. There aren't any other girls around.

I look over my shoulder to see Jake looking at floor. I clench my fist and walk up to Drake, my eyes narrowing at him. "Where is she? Did she run off?" I ask and Drake shakes his head, letting out a chuckle.

"Baby girl, people like us... never run." Drake says with a smirk and all of a sudden, I feel someone tap my shoulder. Thinking that it is Jake, I turn around, only to be punched in the face, sending me stumbling back. I hold my nose in pain and when I feel warm liquid running over my fingers, I look over at Evie who is looking at her nails, as if she was bored.

"You could never take a punch." Evie mutters and I clench my jaw, running straight over to her and tackling her to the ground. I send my fist towards her face but she moves her head, making me punch the concrete.

"Ouch, must've hurt." Evie smirks and I go to punch her again, only for her to move to the other direction, making me punch the concrete again. "Did that hurt?" Evie continues and I grab her by the throat. I hear Jake gasp and I hear Drake chuckle.

"Just leave it, dude. They've got this." Drake says and I narrow my eyes at Evie who has a smirk on her face. I feel something poke at my stomach and I look down to see a knife pressed to my stomach.

Where the fuck did that come from?

"Go on. We can both go to the hospital together." Evie says with the little amount of air she has and I clench my jaw in anger, pushing harder on Evie's throat but as I begin to do that, the knife pushes more into my skin.

I slowly begin to let go and before I stand up, Evie placing the knife back in her pocket, I headbutt Evie and watch as she let's out a groan, not expecting that to happen.

When she closes her eyes in pain, I get to my feet and grab Evie's collar, pulling her up from the ground. She needs to eat more, I instantly think as I realise how light she is.

"This is for bringing up my past." I say, throwing my fist into Evie's nose, watching as the blood immediately comes rushing out, just like what is happening to me. I turn around, still holding Evie up and I drop her towards Drake's direction, watching as he catches her in his arms.

"Leave us alone, Drake, otherwise I will be coming after you next time." I spit in anger, tasting the blood that runs into my mouth as I talk. Before I can head Drake say a word, I begin to walk to the car.

"Meghan, are you okay?" Jake asks, running up to me and I turn around, leaning my back against the car. I notice that Drake and Evie are now gone and I stare up at a frightened Jake.

I roll my eyes and wave him off. "Just a little blood." I say, wiping the blood away from my nose before getting in the car.

After driving back to the school to finish off the rest of the day since we both knew we couldn't go back home since Hannah was there, Jake told me that I should go to the office to get my nose cleaned up.

Of course, I didn't listen and now, I am in the girls bathroom washing the blood away from my nose and the rest of my face.

Once I look satisfied, I walk out of the girls bathroom and begin to make my way towards the class that I have now: English.

After walking five minutes, I knock on the door and watch as the English teacher looks me up and down, his face scrunched up in disgust.

"Is there a reason why you have blood on your shirt?" The teacher asks and I nod, looking at the small dots of blood that have dripped onto it.

"Nose bleed." I lie and the teacher nods. He steps to the side and I walk in the classroom, watching all the eyes land on me. Honestly, is there any school that doesn't have students that stare at you when you walk in late? God, they wouldn't like it if I were to stare at them when they walk into the class so why do it?

I look over at Jake and see that he is writing on his book, obviously not even knowing that I just arrived. I walk down the row of tables and sit in my seat, behind Jake. The teacher begins to search up something on his computer and I turn my head to see that kid who I punched in the nose for putting his hands on me and snicker at the bruise.

Do you remember when a person stopped me when I was walking away from the party? Yeah, well that was him. The memory flashes in my mind and I can't help but growl in annoyance.

"Stop." I hear someone say, making me stop in my tracks. I turn around slowly to see a guy with a hood over his head, a small grin on his face.

"Hello Meghan." The guy greets, beginning to walk towards me and before I can run, he reaches out and grabs my hand, pulling me towards his chest. I gasp and when the guy's lips begin to head towards mine, I raise my leg and stop it down on his foot, hearing him groan. I step back and throw my fist into his face, watching as he groans some more but even louder. Just before I am about to run, I raise my leg and kick him in the balls. I turn on my heel, not wanting to say for when he falls to the ground.

"Fucking creep!" I scream, directing my words to the guy who is probably on the ground now.

I hold myself back from asking if it hurt getting punched, kicked and stomped on by a girl and turn so I am staring at the back of Jake's head. I tap his shoulder, watching as he immediately turns around, his lips parting in surprise and his eyes wide.

I smile at him, looking at how cute he looks right now. "When did you get here?" Jake asks and my smile widens.

"Just then but of course you werent paying attention because you were too zoned into your work, nerd." I say and Jake blushes, not looking away from me. He is about to say something but before he does, the teacher calls his name.

"Jake, do your work." The teacher snaps and I watch as everyone looks over at him, grins and smirks on their faces. I growl at them and they look over at me.

"Turn." I mouth to everyone and they do as I say, immediately going back to do their work. I look at the back of Jake's head to see his head down, obviously going back to his own work.

Ugh, I am so whipped and he doesn't even know it.

"So, we going to this carnival tonight or what?" I ask, walking into Jake's room to see him with a towel around his waist, his hair sticking to his forehead. I bite my lip and stop walking, taking a moment to look at how sexy Jake looks right now.

I really did choose the right moment to walk in, didn't I?

"I don't--"

"Well, I already told Emma and Danny that we are going so..." I say, looking down at my nails. I look up to see Jake's eyes wide.

"How dare you!"

"How dare I what? I know you secretly want to go..." I smirk and Jake groans, running a hand down his face.

"No, I don't." Jake says slowly, walking over to his pile of clothes that are on his bed. I close the door behind me and walk over to his bed, sitting down on it and leaning my back against the headboard. Jake looks over at me, a blush making its way onto his cheeks.

"Do you... uh -- I need t-to get dressed." Jake says and I nod, my smirk still on my face.

"Then do it." I say and Jake's eyes widen again, his mouth dropping. Suddenly, Jake scoops up his clothes and walks over to the closet, obviously going to get dressed in there.

I let out a laugh and watch as he closes the door behind him. "You coming out of the closet anytime soon?" I ask and I hear Jake groan, making me laugh harder. I hear my phone go off and I pull it out of my pocket, looking at the message Danny sent me.

Danny: I can't believe Jake actually wants to go. Maybe it's because your going with him ;)

I roll my eyes, a small smile on my face and begin to type my reply.

Me: Maybe ;)

Danny: When do you want us to come and pick you two lovebirds up?

I begin to type my reply when a certain word appears in my mind.

Lovebirds? Did he just actually say that?

I look up at Danny's recent message and my eyes widen when I notice that Danny actually did say that. I roll my eyes again but the smile on my face stays.

Me: Talk about you and Emma.

Me: Come now.

I turn my phone off, knowing that Danny is going to blow up when he reads that. I know they two have a thing for each other but just because Danny is off sleeping with different girls every damn day does not mean that he doesn't like Emma.

Because he does.

I hear the closet door open and I look up to see Jake wearing grey sweatpants and a maroon coloured hoodie that has the words 'champion' across it. Jake begins to dry his hair with the towel and I can't help but stir uncomfortably.

Control your hormones, my brain says and I bite my lip, watching as Jake's eyes meet mine slowly. Jake stops drying his hair and throws the towel on his bed.

"Still not going." Jake says after a few seconds of silence and I snap out of my trance, looking up at the goody-two-shoes.

"Yes you are." I say and Jake raises his eyebrows at me.

"Says who?" Just before I am about to say 'me' an idea pops into my head and I grin, immediately jumping off the bed and running out of the room. I hear Jake chase after me and I quickly run down the hall towards Hannah's room. I push the door open to see her watching some television show, snuggled up in her bed.

"Hey Hannah..." I trail off quickly and Hannah furrows her eyebrows at me.

"Meghan, you better not-" I quickly close the door so he couldn't enter and I look back at Hannah who is staring at me weirdly.

"Is... everything okay?" Hannah asks and I wave her off, a grin appearing on my face.

"Absolutely amazing. So, remember that time if I said that if I needed anything, I come to you?" I ask quickly and Hannah nods.

"Don't you dare--"

"Tell him that he has to come to the carnival." I say, pushing off the door and running over to Hannah. She let's out a laugh and sits up.

"Why?"

"Because--"

"I don't want to -- ah!" Jake whines, suddenly running into the room and falling down on the floor. I let out a laugh and look over my shoulder to see Jake's face in the carpet, groaning in pain.

Well, that's what I think he is groaning about.

I turn back to Hannah with a wide smile on my face. "Because... we are celebrating Emma's birthday tonight." I lie and Hannah's eyes widen.

"Well in that case--"

"Thank you, Hannah! We will be home before midnight!" I say, immediately turning around but instead of running out the room, I trip over Jake's body which is still on the floor and I let out a groan.

"Shame." I hear Jake mutter with a chuckle and I get up of the floor, dusting myself off.

Asshole.
