A Warrior Of Youth

Jinxxs POV

"Cutting?" I said simply.
I wasn't sure if I had heard her right. Anxiety? Eating disorder? Cutting?
I stared at Lissa, waiting for her to give me an explanation, but I could tell she didn't want to.
"Do you cut yourself?"
"Please, please, don't tell anyone. No one was meant to know. It just slipped out. Please don't make a big deal of this" she pleaded with me.
I didn't know whether to be mad at her or hug her.
"Why the fuck do you cut yourself?" I said a little harshly. She cringed at my words.
"Cause I've fucked up! I can't do anything right. I've destroyed your lives! You guys should hate me! I can't take it! Seeing you and Jake get hurt cause of me... I can't live with myself" she said sitting down on the edge of my bed.
She doesn't even care about herself. She's too worried about the rest of us.
"Can see them?" I asked calmly. They were obviously not on her wrists.
"What?! No! God no! You'll be disgusted if you see my body like that" she said pulling her knees up to her chest.
"Sweetie, you have to stop. You can't be doing all these things to yourself" I said kneeling in front of her.
"Jinxx, you don't understand! I don't want to do these things. I never used to be like this!"
"Just show me Liss. Show me what you are doing to yourself."
"I'll show you my stomach" she reluctantly got off my bed and lifted her t-shirt to show me her stomach. Her rib cage jutted out and everything between it was starting to sink in.
"How long has this been going on?"
"Nearly two weeks. Ever since Jake told me that he abandon his friends and girlfriend for me, I have felt sick every time I eat something. The feeling never goes away. I try and eat small things, but I can barely handle it."
"What about your cuts?"
"Jinxx I really don't want to show you. I feel pathetic just telling you abo-" she cut herself off when there was a knock on my door.
"What?" I replied a little annoyed.
"Jinxx, it's me. Your dad let me in. Can I come in?" I heard Sammi say.
Lissa's eyes widened as she pulled down her top, straighten her clothes and grabbed her bag.
"You don't have to go" I said quietly.
"I probably do."
"Jinxx?" Sammi said knocking again.
"Come in Sam" I called to her.
I watched Sammi walk into my room and take in the situation. "Jinxx, what's she doing here?" She asked curiously.
"Lissa, just came by to see how I was. She took me and Jake to the hospital yesterday."
"Oh, okay. Thanks for that. I still can't believe Andy beat him up. You've caused a bit of a stir haven't you" she said with a cheeky smile on her face.
"Umm, sure, you could say that" she said shakily.
"Look, I just want you to know there are no hard feelings. That day that Ella punched you out, I didn't want any involvement. She made me come with her and Scout."
I watched Sammi stand in front of Lissa, talking about the changes that had happened since school started. It made me wonder whether they would starting hating on Sammi cause she's my girlfriend. She was still friends with Ella and Scout...
"Well, uhh, I'm gonna go. Was nice talking to you Sammi. For your own safety, don't talk to me at school. Jinxx, let me know if you're gonna come to school" she said exiting my room and leaving me with Sammi.
"Was nice of her to come see how you were. How has she caused so much trouble? I mean, she seems nice enough" she said sitting on the bed, where Lissa was.
"I don't know. Some things got out, that I'm sure you heard. Jake became friends with her, so now the group isn't happy and yeah" I said simply.
Sammi just sighed. I went over to her and kissed her. She placed her hands on my chest and snaked them up to my neck. I pushed her down onto the bed so I could deepen the kiss. I was almost wishing it were Lissa.

Lissas POV

You are such a fuck up! Such a fucking fuck up! He won't keep your secret, not forever.
I have something on him though.
But did Jinxx even like me? Like what the fuck was that kiss about? I can't have things being confused.
Either way I wasn't going to say anything. It would hurt me also and I didn't need that.
I decided to go over to Jake's as well, since he didn't come to school today either. I missed him.
I pulled up in front of his house and knocked on the front door. Jake's car was in the driveway, but no others.
I heard the lock unlatch and the door swung open.
"Hey Liss, what are you doing here?" Jake said when he saw me.
I didn't say anything. I just placed one hand on his cheek, the other on his chest and kissed him. Being mindful of the stitches he had.
When I pulled away I looked into his warm chocolate brown eyes and just smiled.
"What?" Jake asked giggling a little.
"Nothing. I just missed you today" I said hugging him. "I really like you Jake" I mumbled into his chest.
"I really like you too Liss. Come on, lets get out of this doorway. We can go watch a movie or something" he said shutting the front door and leading me upstairs.
His bedroom was a typical guys room. Unmade bed, clothes roughly put away, guitars, tv and video games.
Jake put on a movie and climbed into bed. I kicked my shoes off an joined him under the covers.
We stayed silent and just cuddled, until Jake asked.
"Do you want to go out with me?"
Without looking at him, I smiled and blushed. I sat up a little so I could see his face and kissed him softly.
"I take that as a yes?" He said when I pulled away.
"Yes" I said smiling and kissing him again.
