Life of a Teenage Haner
18th
Jaden’s POV
I stared out the window glumly as I saw Nathan and Layla walk past. I swear it’s like the boy is doing it just to upset me. Sighing, I turn my attention from the window and to the computer screen in front of me. I had resigned myself to near enough staying in the house all the time because I didn’t want to see those two around each other.
A couple of days ago her friend Aaron had come round to ask me what was going on with us
“she had been miserable man, telling us you weren’t talking to her” he had said but I couldn’t really say anything back because I was confused about the situation too. I could never get a hold of her, it was like she was blocking me but then she would ring and ask why I hadn’t called her which confused me more and I would end up hanging up on her thinking she was playing me for some weird reason.
Groaning I let my head drop to the table with a thump, this was all too complicated and weird though the one thing I did know is that it had something to do with that Nathan kid.
Nathan’s POV
This is the night I’m gonna ask her out; I tell myself as I stare in the mirror at my reflection, a smirk on my lips. Grabbing my car keys I head out to go and pick her up for our date.
Layla’s POV/u]
I laughed at Nathan’s joke and chucked my napkin at him which he caught. We were at a diner that he had brought me to, having a nice meal really.
He grinned as he chucked the napkin back
“don’t throw things” he scolded playfully. I giggled
“don’t make corny jokes then” I shot back. He raised a brow then smiled
“you laughed though so it’s all good” he pointed out. I giggled and shook my head before forking my last piece of cake into my mouth and chewing.
Once I had finished I sipped on my coke just as Nathan asks
“will you be my girlfriend?” I near enough choke on my drink and stare at him wide eyed. He chuckles, amused
“alright, don’t choke” he jokes. I stare at him still
“are you serious?” I ask. He frowns
“of course, why wouldn’t I be?” he asks. I shake my head
“Nathan, I, we” I pause and take a breath as I look at him once more. Reaching out I place my hand over his and give him a kind smile “I’m sorry Nathan, I can’t be your girlfriend, I’m not interested in you like that. I thought these were just hanging out with a friend, not dates. I’m sorry if I led you on but I just can’t” I told him.
Getting to my feet I took out a twenty and placed it on the table
“sorry” I said once more then left.
Nathan’s POV
What. The. Fuck!
I sat there, frozen in anger for a moment before the rage took over and I got to my feet, placed another twenty on the table and raced out after her.
Finding her I ran over to her and asked
“at least let me drive you home” she stopped and stared at me a moment then nodded and followed me back to the car.
Getting in I gripped the wheel tightly and then drove off, locking the doors silently.
Layla’s POV
I wasn’t really paying attention so it took a while until I noticed that we weren’t on the road back to my place. Turning to look at Nathan I ask,
“where are we going?” hesitantly. Nathan glances over at me and scowls
“not home that’s for damn sure” he bites out. I bite my lip and look at his hands to see him white knuckled on the wheel.
Turning to the door I try the handle, thinking to jump out before this got messy but the door wouldn’t budge. Panic set in as I tried it even more but it still wouldn’t move.
Suddenly the car jerks to the left sending me flying back in my seat towards Nathan as the car pulls into the side of the road.
Nathan got out of the car then came around to my side. I tried to crawl out his side but he was too fast and opened my door then dragged me out through it by the leg.
I cried out as he shoved me up against the car and slapped me. He grabbed my face and made me look at him as he got close, rage blazing in his eyes
“how dare you refuse me!” he shouted then punched me in the stomach. I groaned at the pain but he tightened his grip on my face as he got closer and told me in a low threatening voice “you will go out with me Layla, you will be mine or I will go through each and every person in your family and I will kill them. I’ll go to your friends and get them all as they sleep, hey I might even rape that Zoe, she seems like a good lay” he told me. I moaned and shook my head as best I could
“please no” I begged
“then be my girlfriend” he told me.
I bit my lip as a few tears came out then nodded
“fine” I said quietly. Triumph lit his eyes and he stepped back. Taking me by the elbow he shoved me back in the car then got in himself and started back to my home.
Arriving home I made to get out of the car but Nathan grabbed me and swung me to face him
“kiss me” he demanded. I shook my head and he tightened his grip on my arm and shook me
“do you want me to hurt them?” he asked roughly. I shook my head and he pulled me to him, shoving his lips on mine in a harsh kiss.
I didn’t respond and he shoved me away from him in disgust
“do better next time, respond or I’ll go after Zoe” he threatened. I just nodded then hurried out of the car.
Walking over to the porch I heard him drive off and just sat down on one of the steps. I couldn’t believe how tonight had turned out. I had thought there was something off about Nathan when I first met him though I never thought it was this bad. Shaking, I wrapped my arms around myself as I tried to calm myself down.
Once I had I wiped my eyes and then got up and walked into the house.
Mom and Dad were curled on the sofa together. Hearing me come in Mom looked up and smiled
“hey honey how did it go?” she asked, I shrugged
“fine” I told her in a monotone voice, Mom frowns
“is that it?” I nodded and she gives a nod back though still looks concerned
“ok honey” she says
“night” I respond then turn and walk up the stairs.
Brian’s POV/b]
I watched as Layla walked out. Jess looked up at me with a worried expression
“what was that about?” she asks, I shrug
“I have no idea” I reply
“do you think something happened?” she asks. I shake my head
“I really have no clue” I say again
“maybe it’s a faze” she says thoughtfully
“yeah a faze” I answer distractedly as I stare towards the stairs again, wondering what’s going on.
I stared out the window glumly as I saw Nathan and Layla walk past. I swear it’s like the boy is doing it just to upset me.
