Promise of Love (Ch. 8)

My parents were getting along with me and I felt a change for the better. They became skilled at trusting Jake little by little. I liked that fact about learning how to have a faith. I asked my parents if I could get out of the house to hang out with Jake at his house for awhile. Although they turned me down not allowing to go over his house. It hurt my feelings but I accepted it. I was going to walk upstairs to my room. I entered my room to change my outfit. I was planning to sneak out of the house but I asked Jake if he could sneak out with me to somewhere peacefully a little farther away from our houses. I didn’t want my parents to find us like last time we overslept on the boat. I just wanted to spend with Jake as long as I could stay with him forever. That was my only and one desire.

As I changed my outfit to the white, summer strapless dress and then slipped into my White Stalin flat shoes among a casual pair of ballerinas with a ribbon in my bedroom. Afterward I went to my bathroom to fix my wavy, black hair to be smooth and shiny once again. When I finished to brush my hair, I was getting my makeup bag out of the sink to fix on my face. I brushed my eyelashes a dark, black mascara slowly to make sure I looked okay. My mind was in the deep already thinking of my sweet Jake. I knew that we would be in big trouble again but I didn’t care at all anymore. I didn’t need eyeliner, eye shadow, or anything else except for my clear lip gloss. I stared at my eyes in the mirror to gaze at me back to see if I looked good. I guess it was good enough for me to look nice for Jake.

I wrapped bathrobe and grabbed my cell phone in the bathroom and then went to downstairs from second floor to the basement where I could sneak out of the house. I checked around in the basement if no one noticed me as well, but I knew my parents were sleeping in their bedroom upstairs on the second floor. Gosh, they were very heavy sleepyheads. I texted Jake on the phone, ‘R u ready? Meet me @ the park, k? ILY.’ I set my phone from ringing to the vibration. I didn’t want my phone to ring loudly as enough as they could hear me in far distance.

I walked out of the basement outside. In the next second, I forgot that I was wearing in the bathrobe, so I went back in there to the sofa. I hided the bathrobe under the sofa and made sure if it was hided enough. I gradually walked outside of the basement in the backyard. I took the cell phone with me in the pocket of my summer dress. I putted her key out of sight under the mat carefully. My text from Jake finally arrived and said, ‘Im already @ the park. C u soon n ily 2!’ I smiled as I chuckled in a silence. The ocean kept going on to roar heavily in a loud. It was lovely to hear the ocean and it was my favorite sound in the world. As I endured to walk toward the park under the dark, black sky with the bright, orange full moon on the street. I walked alone. Nobody was on the road, either on the street. Just me. I finally reached the park. I saw no one in there. Where was Jake? My best friend? My love? Where was he?

I panicked deep inside with my fear to float to my heart as it pounded so hard. I spun myself around in the circle of the park. I watched the trees passing on faster and faster in the lost world. I whispered in a breaking voice, “Jake, Jake, where are you?” My mind was falling apart to break my heart into pieces. I was collapsing on the ground as I looked up at the full moon. My gold white, promise ring was still on my ring finger that made me rub it. I watched the star up in the sky and I wished there was a shooting star to wish Jake was with me in the park. I was suddenly feeling myself to stumble while the cold air blew against me. I still flustered myself to the death! I was afraid to be alone in the darkness. I needed him. I walked to search for him in the park.

I saw someone to sit there on the bench all alone with the bottle. Drinking an alcohol, he was standing up to walk alone. All I saw him. It wasn’t Jake at all. He laughed at himself under the influence. He spun himself around in the circle with the bottle and fell down on the ground. He blurted out laughing in drunk. I hated to see him like that. My heart still beat harder and faster than before, as I walked in a silence to stay away from him but it was too late. He caught me. He caught me. I breathed to inhale to hold my mouthful of air. ‘Oh, no, it can’t be happening tonight!’ I thought. He pushed me down on the ground. I pushed him hard to get off me and screamed, “GET THE HECK OFF ME, YOU BASTRAD!” He tried to take my dress off me but I punched his nose tough. He screamed in a pain and fell off me. I got up and ran away with my cell phone. I didn’t want to lose my phone so I called Jake in an emergency.

The ring kept going on as I still rushed farther and farther against the wind away from the stupid, drunk man. My black, wavy hair was flying away backward. What was wrong with him? I quickly erased my short memory with him, as I kept waited for Jake to answer me on my ear until I finally found him. My eyes were shocking as well as I collapsed my knees to the ground right next to him to catch my breath. The tears finally escaped from my eyes in right away. Why was Jake laying down on the ground near the tree? What happened? How did it happen? Why was tonight getting worse?
