Jared just sat on the couch staring at me as I paced back and forth. My parents had left this morning and I was officially home alone. After what happened at school today I was even more scared.
“Cate.” Jared said. He’d said it at least seven times already but I was ignoring it.
“Cate.” I walked by again. He stood up and grabbed my wrists trying to get me to stop pacing.
“You need to calm down.” He said.
“I can’t…” I started to say, turning around to face him.
“Cate…He’s probably still unconscious. Don’t worry” he said. I sighed. I didn’t know if I could believe that, and he could tell.
“I knocked him out cold he’s not going to do anything.”
“Yeah I guess your right.” I said still a little doubtful. He grabbed my face in between his hands and made me look at him. “Just forget about him okay! Megan, Nick, and Sarah are coming over; let’s just enjoy the evening.” He said. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, then nodded
“Good”, he said, letting go of my face, and taking my hands.
