"You know I love you, right beautiful?" Jacob reached forward & gently raised my chin so I was face to face with him.
"Don't even start Jacob." I pushed him away & pulled the comforter up higher. He had cheated on me AGAIN tonight. I wanna leave him so bad but I can't. I love him way too much & plus our parents are forcing us to be together. Neither of them know that he cheats on me at least 4 times a week. It hurts me so much but I always have to hide it around others. Practically everyone knows about it at school though. We've been together for 10 months & I've had to put up with his shit since our 3 month anniversary pretty much.
He sighed & laid down beside me, wrapping his arm around my waist & pulling me back till my back was against his chest.
"You need to go, Jacob." I whispered, trying to stop the tears from falling while he was still here.
"Just say you forgive me." He started kissing my neck & cheek but I wouldn't let him near my lips.
"I'd be lying." I started to sniffle & he slowly raised himself off the bed.
"I'll text you later then. I love you." He mumbled exiting my bedroom. I knew he wasn't leaving the house. Why would he when his bestfriend lives here also? Yup. My stepbrother, Keagan, is bestfriends with my cheating boyfriend.
I stayed in my bed for hours just crying. My parents would check on me every now & then but I'd raise the blanket over my head & pretend to be sleeping. But they did leave a note in my bedroom saying they were gonna be gone for the next couple weeks due to some business trip and it was just going to be Keagan & I. Just great.
Once I knew my parents were gone, I got out of bed. I could hear the guys talking. I'm not sure about what but I could just hear their voices.
I looked in my mirror & my cheeks were stained with dry tears, my eyes extremely red, & my hands sore from constantly rubbing my eyes trying to stop the tears.
I was in a pair of gray hollister sweats & a navy blue spaghetti strap shirt.
I checked my phone for the time & it was nearing midnight.
I walked into the bathroom that was connected to my bedroom & washed my face off quickly. I jumped when my phone started buzzing.
I dried my face off & picked up my phone, my friend Lucas was calling.
"Hey Lucas. What's up?" I asked, trying to act like I haven't been crying for at least 3 hours.
"My parents are all pissed off at me. Think I can stay at your house for the rest of the night?" He asked, pleadingly. Lucas is our neighbor & ever since I met him at age 10 he'd sneak into my bedroom & stay with me whenever he argued with his family.
"Sure. Do you want me to make you something to eat or drink?" I asked, walking out of my bedroom.
"No thanks. I'll see you in a few." We both hung up & I noticed Keagan's door was open. Jacob looked over when he heard me walking down the hall. He gave me a smile & I just turned away ignoring him.
"Hey Summer, what are you doing?" Keagan asked. I rolled my eyes & turned around.
"Getting something to eat." I muttered.
"Oh can you bring us some chips & a couple cans of Monster."
"Whatever." I kept walking down to the kitchen.
I grabbed some chips, 2 cans of Monster, a Venom energy drink, & a pack of skittles.

"Lucas! Knock it off." I rolled around in my bed, laughing like crazy while Lucas was straddling me & tickling me non stop.
"Say it!" He demanded, smirking.
"N-No!" I mumbled, laughing.
"Admit it. Come on Summer. You know you-" Lucas was cut off when my door swung open & in walked Keagan & Jacob.
"The fuck are you doing with my girlfriend?" Jacob shouted, running over & pushing Lucas off me.
"Shit dude. Chill. We were messing around." Lucas replied, rolling his eyes.
Jacob just glared at him while I was sitting on my bed awkwardly.
"Jacob quit acting immature. We weren't doing anything. Although, you have no right to get mad anyways. You cheat on me every fucking chance you get!" I shouted, pushing his chest roughly. He needs to quit acting like a kid. It drives me insane. I love him but he constantly acts like a jealous douchebag.
Jacob looked at me with pain in his eyes, "You know I love you though Summer. Do you even love me?!"
I stared at him in shock. Did he seriously just ask me that? No. He has to be fucking kidding. "Of course I fucking love you! You stupid ass! If I didn't love you I wouldn't even be with you right now. I wouldn't put up with all your shit. I wouldn't let you push me around!" I sucked in a deep breath & just stared at him with tears from both sadness & anger spilling over. I barely ever cry in front of people because I don't like their pity & it makes me feel vulnerable.
"Dude I think we should leave them alone. You said we should check on her so we did. Now lets go." Keagan finally spoke up & shoved Jacob out of my bedroom.
I got back in bed, my mood ruined once again & Lucas climbed in beside me, just holding me while I cried myself to sleep that night.
I don't know what I've done to deserve this. I've always been a good kid. I never disrespected my family. I'm still not upset with my real dad that I've never met. I'm not angry that he left my mom when she was 12 & pregnant with me. Because I honestly do understand. Sure he'll never be a dad to me. Even when I meet him. Nope. My stepdad is more of a real dad to me & I've only known him for a year now.
So, why am I being put through this?
