Chapter Three: Totally wasted

24 HOURS BEFORE (JOEL ASKED JENNI OUT)

Joel's P.o.V

I walk out the main door of the school building, I see my mates, sitting on the grass near the parking lot, I was fuming, Matt promised, not just promised me but owed me a solid! That  I would get a good grade on my maths test but instead I got this.

"What's up man" Matt says to me calmly, started at him intensely. He got up, put a hand on my shoulder, I stared at the hand then back at him.

"you promised me a good grade! I yell shoving the graded paper against his chest, he knew what would happen if I didn't.

"Hey, chillax dude, no need to worry, just screw some chick and get her to do it" I snatched the paper back, scrunched it up and threw it in to the closet bin.

"I can't just screw some girl, I need to get a good grade!, a C isn't good enough I have to get a B or higher you know what will happen I will get kicked off the team!" I yelled at him and stormed off , I walk into the parking lot, getting out my car keys I unlock the black jeep I was bought for my 18th birthday.

Driving home, I was thinking about going shooting to get my mind off things, *beep* my phone went off I opened the message, pulled over to the side of the rode, I didn't want to get booked I have already been arrested twice and book 3 times for speeding.

It was Gordan.

Gordan: Dude, how about to get your mind off things come to my party tonight it will be fun ;)

Great he ended it with a wink face that basically mean, we are going to get drunk and screw some chick, that chick is going to end up Prego's and is going to move but. I needed to relax. Everything that is worrying me today can be worried about tomorrow.

ME: Count me in :)

I send the text and get back on the road, I unlock the door to my house and step inside, I close the door quietly hoping to avoid any contact with the parents. When I heard the door click I softly ran upstairs to my bedroom, sat on my bed think how am I going to tell father?

My room was how my mother wanted it to look, white walls big bed, ensuite, honestly I wasn't that fussed.

"Joel, is that you?" I heard my father say from downstairs, I groaned in frustration. Hitting my head against the bed head, "Nah" I say, my father's problem is that he is really cruel, but other people say nah he is really nice but you don't know him like I do, and you would never want to.

"Yes, dad I am home" I jump on my bed take my shirt off to look at my six pack I have been working on. I could hear his heavy steps making their way up the stairs.

My dad was the kind where football was his everything, the future for me, I was basically his minion I would live the life he never had. But honestly I couldn't care less about football; I just need to stay on the team to please my dad. Lifting my arms up around my head I lean against the head board of my head. I roll my head over to the door to see my dad standing their twitching his thumbs.

"so, how did the maths test go" Dad said walking in my room without permission. I really didn't want to tell him.

"Why do you care " I say avoiding eye contact. "Because son, I love you and you love football, I am just making sure you are staying on the team." My father said with complete innocence.

"I failed you happy, I got a C, one C and I have to negotiate with the coach" I say rolling on my side so he couldn't see me.  One time I screw up. "An dad by the way YOU love football not me"

"you what!" he pulled back over, I met his face "look at me when you're talking son! Don't be so damn disrespectful!" he yelled. I closed my eyes knowing what was next; he pulled his belt out from his pants and started whipping me with it.Whip after whip, leaving cut marks and blood on my abdomen. He walked away saying "You better be better next time" then he exited the room.

People always approach me and say "hey your dad's really cool you must feel safe around him since he is a cop and all" but it was nothing like that, I would call the police about child abuse but.... I cant really tell his 'buddies' down at the police station.

After cleaning my body up I pack a bag of clothes and escaped through my window to get to Gordan's party. Over the years I have developed an escape route from my room to Matt or Gordan's house.

I climb into my jeep and speed off down the road, I park in front of a house which is pounding music really loud, and this was Gordon's house a bit fancier than mine. I step inside and Gordan gave me a welcoming hug.

"sup man" I could smell the liquor he had already had a couple, he was also a girly drunk, he got really girly and sensitive when he was drunk. Looking around the room there was already half naked girls on the coffee tables and guys making out with chicks on the couch.

After I had a few, I had a really bad Idea but I thought it was a great one at the time, "LETS PLAY SPIN THE BOTTLE" I yell out everyone rushed to the living room and sat in a circle. I got one of the empty vodka bottles and sat down with everyone else.

The bottle landed on Matt that I span. "I dare you, Matthew to go second base with Kelsey" I smiled and Matthew did the dare than he span the bottle and it landed on me. Shit. I mumbled

"Joelle, I dare you to go out with the really fat girl at school, and at the end of the 3 months I will pay you $250 dollars." He and I smiled at each other.

"Agreed" I say shaking his hand, I get up and I am really dizzy, but I make it to my car ok. I drove home, yes it is illegal but I only bumped into a few trees on the way home but I made it in one piece.

I woke up this morning with a killer hangover but I made sure I looked like I was fine, I made sure i left the house a quick as possible walking to school I see Jenni, and the memories can flooding back to me as of what happened shit, and I shook on it. I ran up to catch her.

"Hey" I say.

"Hey" she says back.

"Jenni, would you umm... Go out on a date with me?" I ask

"Why, would you want to go out with me, I look like this" she says waving her hands up and down her body.

"I like your personality?" I reply, what was I thinking, she knows I don't know her, I face palming in my mind.

"You don't even know me" she says through gritted teeth.

"We have English together with Mrs Lewis" I say starting to walk again.

"well you have never acknowledged me!" She says following me.

"Let me take you on one date please" I begged her

"Fine" she huffed as we reach the school gates.

When love comes around nobody sees it why? Because they don't want to accept it, they cannot accept the fact that somebody actually wants them. Nobody believes that there wanted because they have been rejected for such a long time, or don't think very highly of themselves.

A/N-Whaaaat! I didn't think Jenni was going to say yes, I thought she was strong enough to reject him.
