Lost And Found Chapter Twenty Six
Jeremy's POV
The next morning I was still confused on what Damon said last night. "There are somethings you can't know." I don't know what he meant.
Is everything okay? I asked Victoria as we walked to school.
Yeah, why? She asked.
Because last night you said not to bother you till morning. I said.
Yeah, I was really tired. Victoria said as she looked up at me.
You're lying. I said.
No, I'm not. She said as she looked away.
Tori, I can see it in your eyes. I said.
I don't know what you are talking about. She said.
I believe you do. I said.
You're wrong. She spat back.
It's okay if you are scared. I said.
I'm not scared! Victoria hissed.
Then what is it? What's the matter? I asked concerned.
Awe man! I forgot my jacket at home! She said.
It's summer, you don't need your jacket. And don't change the subject! I asked.
Jeremy, no I have to have my jacket. She said.
Why? I asked.
To cover the scars! She said.
Look you can wear mine, no big deal. I said.
I took my jacket off and handed it to her. She put it on and piled the sleeves down where they were cupped in her hands. She also put the hood on and looked at me slightly smiled.
Getting more gothic every day. Someone said.
Jeremy let's go back home. Victoria demanded.
Leave us alone. We don't have anything. I said.
Please stop! Victoria begged.
Is there a problem? Damon asked as he stepped in front of me.
Damon crossed his arms over his chest making him looking bigger than he actual was.
N-n-o-o. The guy stuttered.
Good, if I see anywhere close to these two kids there will be a big problem and possible a funeral. Now get out here! Damon said.
The guy took off running.
Thanks Damon. I said.
No problem. Are you two okay? He asked.
I'm fine. I said.
I looked down at Victoria who was looking at the ground. The jacket was zipped up, she had the sleeves pulled down as far as the would go, and she had the hood over her head. You couldn't see her face.
Victoria, are you okay? Damon asked.
She nodded her head yes.
Jeremy can you give us a minute? He asked.
Damon's POV
Um sure. He said.
Victoria what's wrong? I asked concerned.
It's nothing. She said.
Is it about last night? I asked.
Sorta. She said.
Did something else happen? I asked really, really concerned.
No, except for what Jeremy told you. She said.
Than what is it? I asked.
I'm mad. She said.
Why? I asked confused.
At Jeremy. He told you and I told him not to tell she said.
Victoria, he was doing the right thing by telling me. Look that kid is crazed addict. He's not going to stop till he gets what he wants. I said.
And I think I might be scared. She said.
About last night? I asked.
I guess and about Jeremy. She said.
What about last night and Jeremy? I asked less concerned then earlier.
I'm scared that something had is going to happen. I'm scared that Jeremy is going to lie to me and start drinking and doing drugs. I'm scared he might be using me. Victoria said.
I'll talk to him later. But as for the what happen last night, I won't let anything happen to you. He won't be able to get in the house and he shouldn't bother you any more. I said.
Okay, I better get back to Jeremy. She said.
Okay, I think this is what someone would tell you to do. Talk to him and tell him how you feel. I said.
Yeah, I might. She said.
Bye be careful and be good in school. I said.
No promises. Victoria said.
She hugged me and went over to Jeremy telling him something. I watched the walk down the street. He hugged her and said something. She looked up at him smiled. Crazy how things change.
