Chapter 22- Stitches and Slow Dances

1 week later.

I was driving home this weekend.

I came to Washington High School.

I parked and walked into the school.

People stared and pointed "She's back"?!

I ignored it and jogged down the hall.

I went into the cafeteria.

I saw Beth sitting with Luke, River and a few other people.

I ran up behind Beth and hugged her.

She shrieked then turned around and hugged me "TATUM"!

"Hey" I smiled and hugged her.

She pulled away "Aren't you suppose to be in school"?

"They let us out early, and I wanted to come home this weekend".

She hugged me again.

I laughed.

Luke got up and hugged me.

"You're going to get your a*s kicked here, for wearing that uniform" he chuckled.

I rolled eyes.

I waved quickly at River and he smiled.

"Hey Tatum" an voice said.

I turned around.

"Don't talk to me" I gritted.

"Can I please explain"?

"You have nothing to explain Jake. Just that you're an a*swhole"!

"Tatum, come on it was one little mistake" he said and grabbed my hand.

I pulled it away: quickly "Don't touch me"!

He smirked.

"Jake don't" Beth warned her twin brother.

"I won't hurt her" he smirked and grabbed both my hands pulled me over to him.

Jake was soon pushed back by River.

"Stay the f*ck out of it, River"! Jake yelled.

"Don't you ever f***ing touch her again"! River gritted.

"Get over yourself, Lockwood"!

"Get away from her Evans"!

Jake threw the first punch.

River sent one back and they soon broke into a fist match.

Jake raised his fist and I jumped in front of River and Jake's fist made contact with the side of my face.
*************

"Ow"! I hissed in pain as I sat up.

I saw I was in my bedroom at home.

"Hey Green-eyes" River said as he walked into my room.

He sat at the edge of my bed.

He handed me a glass of water and 2 pills.

I took it and swallowed.

"Thank you" I mumbled.

He nodded and looked at me with 'concern' written all over his face.

He touch my cheek.

"Why'd you step in front of me"? He asked.

"Because".

"Because why"? He pushed.
