I Gave It All

Claudia's POV~~

Megan looked fucking mad that I had cleaned her cuts. She looked like she wanted to explode.

"Calm down, Megan. I just wanted to help you." I said. This was hopeless. I was talking to a girl who was mute, a girl who had never talked out loud before, who has just whispered one sentence to me.

"You wanted to fucking help me!!?" She yelled. Woah, wasn't expecting that.

"Yeah, I did." I said.

"If you wanted to help, you wouldn't have touched them!" She said. I don't know what her deal was, but I was regretting helping her now. I know, that sounds rude, but she looked murderous.

"Megan, calm down!" Jake yelled.

"Fuck off Jake. I'm gonna fucking leave, but first, I want to show you why I don't like it when people mess with my cuts." She said. I was honestly scared. She took a pocket knife out of her pocket and started advancing towards me. This bitch was crazy.

"Jake..." I said. I looked at him and he took my hand. We bolted out of the bus and down the streets, with Megan not far behind.

"This bitch is crazy!!" Jake yelled while we ran. People looked at us like we were out of our minds. I had to stop running.

"Jake, I can't keep running." I said.

"I'll carry you." He said.

"No! I'm not slowing you down!" I said.

"God damnit! She's right behind us Claudia!" Jake said. I looked back and saw her with a deathly look on her face. Then my feet were lifted off the ground; Jake was carrying me. He soon darted into a McDonalds and set me down.

"I told you I'd slow you down!" I said while Jake caught his breath.

"That doesn't matter." Jake said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Look behind you." Jake said. I turned around and saw Megan standing at least ten feet away. At least she was outside. She quickly turned and I pulled Jake down to the floor so she couldn't see us.

"Did she see us?" I asked.

"I don't think so." Jake said. I slowly stood up so I could see it the window. Megan's face was plastered against the window, and it scared me.

"FUCK!" I yelled. Everyone in the McDonalds looked at me. I grabbed Jake's hand and pulled him to the counter. Neither of us had our phones, which sucked.

"Can you call the cops for us, please?" Jake asked. The woman behind the counter looked at us like she was confused. Megan entered the restaurant and approached us.

"Megan, stop this." I said.

"You fucked up. Now you have to pay." She said. What I didn't know is why I had to 'pay' for helping her.

"Fuck off bitch!" I spat. Over her shoulder, I saw a police officer walk in. My eyes widened and Megan approached us more.

"Officer! Over here!" I yelled. He looked over and pulled his handcuffs out of his holster while he walked over.

"Drop the knife!" He yelled. Megan turned around and threw her knife down angrily. The officer cuffed her and he took her to his car. Another officer walked in and she came to talk to us.

"Did you know her?" She asked.

"No. We saved her from the alley down the street, I cleaned her up, and she asked me why I cleaned the cuts on her wrists." I said.

"Do you know her name and age?" She asked.

"Her name is Megan and she's eighteen. I don't know her last name." I said.

"Alright. Goodbye you two." She said and she left. We both just stood there. I then realized that Jake and I were still holding hands, tightly. I looked down and then up at Jake. He looked down at me, then pulled me into a tight hug. If you had seen the size of her knife, you would have freaked too. It was abnormally large for a pocket knife.

"Oh my God. Holy shit. Let's get back to the bus." Jake said. I nodded, but didn't let go of him.

"Come on Claudia, let's go." Jake said softly.

"Okay. Let's go." I said. I finally let go of Jake and we left the McDonalds. We walked down the street in silence, all the way back to the bus. When we got back, all the guys were there,

"Hey, where were you guys?" Andy asked.

"It doesn't matter." Jake said. I looked at him and then started to walk to my bunk, but Jake grabbed my arm, pulling me back.

"I'm glad you're okay." Jake said. I smiled.

"Are you?" I asked.

"I am." Jake said.

"You do know you probably saved me from something terrible, right?" I asked.

"Yeah, I do." Jake said. I hugged him.

"Thanks Jake." I said. He pulled away from me. He looked me in the eyes and smiled. He leaned down and rested his forehead against mine. I looked at him and grinned, then he slowly and gently connected our lips.
