5 Chapter 5

I woke up hearing the shower running. I stretch out and then get up. I make Jake's bed and then sit down waiting for him. I quickly touch my face to make sure I wasn't drooling.

"Morning. " he says Carrying his clothes out with him. "Its early enough if you want to grab breakfast?"

"Yeah that would be cool. Umm.."

"You want your clothes?" He says smiling.

"Yeah."

"They should be dry. I will be right back. " he says and walks out of the room. He left the door open and I can hear him talking to someone. He comes back in the room handing my warm clothes to me.

"You can go shower, I have to go talk to my mom real quick. I will be back. " he says looking at me, I nod to him. I watch him leave the room.

I get up and go shower. I use Jake's soap and shampoo. I climb out and towel off. I look at the clothes that I wore yesterday. I put my skinny jeans on and tank top. I throw my hair in a pony. Brushing my hair with my fingers. I finished getting ready and left the bathroom.

I put the rest of my stuff in my bag and saw Jake come thru the door. I smile at him but I see his face change. I realize that he's looking at all the bruises going down my arms.

"I uhh I didn't want to wear my hoodie again." I tell him and look down away from him.

"Oh. I'm sorry. Do you want one of my shirts?" He looks sympathetic, sorry for me.

"Would you mind?"

"No. I don't mind. Go ahead and pick something out." He opens his closest door for me. I look in, grab a blue and black flannel. I put in on and roll up the sleeves alittle. I take my belt out of the loops and wrap it around the shirt.

It might of looked better with a wider belt. But this looks better than trying to tuck it in and it's so big it probably wouldn't have tucked in. I look up at Jake and he nods. I grab my bag and follow him out putting my black boots on. At least I won't be to warm.

"My mom said you can stay. If you want we can go pick up some of your clothes? "

"We should probably go now while they might be sleeping still." I tell him.

"Okay just tell me how to get there."

"Why are you doing this for me?"

"Mia, your always giving me dirty looks. I don't know what I did to you. But I'm hoping to change your opinion of me and open you up to being friends with other people. Not everyone is out to destroy you."

"Oh. I didn't know I was giving you dirty looks."

"Yeah. Its not a big deal. Lets just get your stuff, I need coffee now." He finishes driving to my house.

The lights are still off. I go inside quickly and as quiet as I can be. I grab my bag and I load up all the stuff I need for the rest of the week. Luckily they we're drinking heavy last night. Bottles scattered throughout the house. I was able to get out the door without being heard or seen.

I get back in Jake's car and we head to Starbucks. He gets me a Carmel frappe with extra Carmel. I'm in heaven. We then get to school and I notice we're definitely going to get noticed since he's parking with all his teammates.

"You guy's remember Mia?"he says as we get out and they come stand next to the car. They say hi and are looking at me a little weird. I guess their wondering how I infiltrated their group and attached myself to their group leader in less than twenty four hours. I leave all my stuff in Jake's car.

I say hi to them back and give a small smile still drinking my frappe. I swear you could pay me with frappe's. Do I stay with them and walk in or do I go ahead? I start biting my lip.

"Your in my first class, you want to walk with me?" I believe his name is Mark says to me.

"Yeah that would be cool." I tell him.

"Mia, see you at lunch? Mom packed one for you too." Jake says as I had started following Mark.

"Really? Yeah I will see you at lunch. See ya Jake." I tell him feeling surprised. I take a deep breath as we enter the school.

"I gotta get my stuff out of my locker."

"Ok, lets go." Mark says following me. He's quiet for a minute while we walk the hallway. I see him look over at me.

"Go ahead and ask." I tell him.

"How come your hanging out with Jake all of a sudden?"

"To be honest, I haven't gone home yet. We just started talking yesterday and I have no idea what's going on." I tell him and start laughing.

"You spent the night?"

"Yeah. Really not a big deal. Please don't make it into one."

"Oh Mia, Jake won't date unless he thinks that he might marry you. He doesn't want unnecessary baggage to bring to whoever he marries. He says that he's saving his heart and virginity for marriage. "

"Seriously? " I ask curious.

"Yeah. His family is very devoted to their religion. He will talk about it if you ask him otherwise he acts almost like everyone else. He's never had a girlfriend before. He's checked out girls with us but thats it."

Honestly I don't think I have ever heard anything about him dating ever. Isn't that weird for a guy? Not that I really ever dated. I would be to freaked out introducing a guy to my family.
