Chapter 8

Jennie Wilson POV

"Hello.... Blake.....and... Vincent.." he shuttered.

" What brought you here!?" Blake said in mocking tone.

" Um...I have come to ....participate in race...it's my first race so I am excited.." he laughed nervously.

" Awww so touching" he mocked him. " Do you want some cheering? Go Hayden! You can do it woho!" He clapped his hand, each clap bringing me and Hayden more shame and pain.

" Listen and listen carefully you male bimbo...how much ever you try you will never win...keep dreaming kid. We are your worst nightmare." Blake said bluntly.

I glanced at Hayden wanting more than to run away, but I didn't want to give them the satisfaction of seeing us running, scared of them.

"Why are you pretending to be a statute now? Wake up kid" Blake said and pushed Hayden hitting his shoulders, and Hayden stumbled.

" What do you want? Leave him alone" I said coming between them snapping my gaze to meet his. They went into a fit laughter, and it was absolutely degrading.

" Just checking if your boyfriend is still alive or not " Blake laughed sarcastically.

" He's not my boyfriend.. and what's your problem? Can't you just leave us alone? You are no fun." I said anger lacing my voice.

Blake dislikes me from the start when we met each other. He always gave me death glare and cold vibes.

Why does he hate me so much?

What have I ever done to him?

Why is he always cold towards me?

Is it because I rejected his offer...to babysit his maniac friend...?

" Woah! Nerdy is angry on us...Oops! What happened nerdy!.. weren't you supposed to be in your room,..f***ing yourself. I didn't expect you to be wh*ring here with this dumbo" Blake said bluntly and Vincent snorted.

Anger, shame, hurt blended together into a powerful bundle, getting stronger when I met Vincent's gaze that was full with contempt.

" Mind your language Blake, you can't insult her like that" Hayden broke his silence.

" Since when do they let thrash in this place? " Blake asked, sounding and looking bored. " We have to talk to the manager of this place. His staff needs some cleaning to do" I bit my skin under my cheeks. Flaring up, I fisted my hands.

" Hayden......you need to get ready for the race...come on now"

Somebody shouted from behind.

" Let's get going Jennie, ignore them." Hayden pulled me to his side. Suddenly Vincent grabbed my wrist and squeezed it painfully yanking me towards his chest. I barely managed to remain silent.

" Let go off me" I gasped in horror.

" Take your hands out of her you assh*le" Hayden shrieked and rushed to rescue from his hold.

" We are not done yet baby girl...where the f*** do you think you are going" Vincent hissed in anger shooting death glare at me.

Blake pushed Hayden hardly separating him from me " Stop interfering us unless you want this to turn ugly"

" I won't step aside. She's not a property whoever can occupy."

Vincent gripped my wrist harder, and I winced. " You keep barking kid, and it's really getting on my nerves"

" Leave her alone, You can't meddle with her life. You just can't insult her every time. I only remained silent all long because you are my f***ing seniors"

" And we are part of the gang, and the nightmare and dangerous people on college, who can easily snap you into pieces whoever mess with us..." Blake interrupted him changing his tone completely, a sharp edge voice.

" Enough of you, you are not her mother, so f***ing leave her before I go mad" Vincent said in a dead serious tone.

" Her friends are over there, so Romeo leave her alone and concentrate on your f***ing race" Blake pointed his fingers towards the direction of a group. Harper...Rose..Emma...all were there looking somewhere and chatting happily.

" We need to talk Jennie, don't f*** with me. He is f***ing igniting me, I won't hesitate.... you exactly know what I am talking about." Vincent spat his words like fire, his eyes locked on mine.

" What that supposed to mean!?" Hayden asked him angrily and confused.

" It means I am not talking to you, clown face" Vincent snapped at him.

" What the hell did you just call me !?"

Blake burst into chuckles " Clown face! I like that"

" Drugs have really destroyed all your brain cells. Of course I am not leaving" Hayden hissed back.

" Are you crazy!?" Blake exploded. Vincent hold got tightened and I yelped harder and gave me tell him to get the f*** out of here look.

" Hayden...... why the f*** aren't you coming the race is about to start you idiot......"

Somebody barked from behind at a distance.

" It's ok Hayden, I will be fine, please go and get ready for your race" I said weakly.

" No way I won't leave without you"

" Please Hayden, the race is important, it's not like they are going to kill me. Please concentrate on your race."

"But—"

" Please Hayden...it will get worse if you stay here. I will be fine" He gave a sorry look at me.

" Don't you dare do anything to her " he warned them and spun his feet away angrily giving a glance full of hatred.

Suddenly Vincent let go off my hold and pushed me hard that I stumbled a little.

" WH*RE, you are a bloody wh*re I didn't expect this from you" Blake said venomously.

I recoiled in shock. I squeezed my hands into fists, feeling like I would start crying any moment now. I sucked in my breath to stop the tears from falling.

" When? When will you stop doing this? Why do you hate us so much? " I could barely say it, my voice was breaking. He showed zero remorse as usual.

" You are really a wh*re, Do you know that? You just act innocent in front of your friends, but you are a f***ing slut " Blake spat venomously.

" Shut up...when you don't know about a person... you should not talk garbage things"

" Why Jennie.... you were not looking innocent when you were wh*ring with that thrash... weren't you supposed to stay in your f***ing room. You are a f***ing wh*re "

My eyes started to sting. I couldn't take it anymore. " Who the hell are you to invade my privacy just like that and question me...what I do and what not? It's my choice where I go, with whom I go.."

" How much is he paying you for wh*ring him?" Vincent said bluntly.

"What!??" I asked in disbelief.

" You bloody broke, cheap woman like you, will do anything for money...tell me how much is he paying you!?" He said venomously.

My eyes filled with tears, which meant I had to escape from here but I couldn't, they were not leaving me.

"You cheap slut will do anything for money, won't you! Tell me how much he pays...to f*** you? I will pay double of it...why don't you f*** me instead... because you are so desperate" Vincent said it with no remorse.

My tears were ready to spill out. I winced, my stomach dropping at the insult that hurt the most. My heart was breaking into pieces, each second bringing more pain and humiliation.

I had no idea why these assh*les were targeting me, but I didn't plan to wait to find it out. I swivelled around, but he reached for me and grabbed my forearm, preventing my escape.

" Where are you going Jennie? The show is not over yet" Vincent pulled me back.

" Please leave me alone... what have I done to you people?" I screamed afraid of what he might do next. I couldn't stand not knowing what could come from him.

"I didn't knew a nerd like you, desperately wanted to f*** someone, it's not been a month properly and you started wh*ring someone..." Blake said venomously.

My heart was breaking into pieces, each second bringing me more pain and humiliation. This was unreal, it hurts, it hurts so much. Nobody said these things to me...

Help!

Somebody help they are horrible...

I wanted to scream but my voice was stuck in the throat.

Some people who were passing us by looked at us. I pleaded them with tears in my eyes, hoping they would do something to help me. Blake looked at them, sneering.

" What are you looking at??? Move along, there's nothing to see here."

" I think you are hurting her..." One boy maybe of Blake's age told.

" I said MOVE ALONG" the way Vincent looked at this boy made him shrink in fear, and he scurried away in fear.

I watched in disbelief as this boy and two girls rushed away leaving me alone with these beast.

I completely broke and screamed, utterly lost " Why??? Why are you doing this??? You people are accusing me, for what I haven't done at all. "

" Stop torturing me, stop playing with me like I'm some rag doll! You have no idea what's going on."

They looked at me like they couldn't believe my words. Blake was about to say something, someone interrupted us.

" What's going on.... Jennie are you.... crying?" Emma reached me.

Then I heard Rose and Harper approaching me from distance, excited and screaming. I quickly wiped my tears off, to avoid the unnecessary drama.

" Jenieeeeeeee, oh my god how come you are here!!!!" Harper jumped and hugged me. Rose jumped in too.

" My baby girl... you are finally here" Harper cuddled me.

" Wait...! How did you come here first of all!?" Harper questioned.

" Why don't you say... whom you came with Miss Jennie Wilson" Blake mocked me.

" I...I..came..with Hayden.." I shuttered not looking at them.

" What! Really you mean our class Hayden!!! Woahhhhh! You people will make a cute couple I swear" Harper chipred happily.

Blake and Vincent's jaw ticked and they gave a death glare towards us, making me tremble in fear. Their eyes were like two lazer beams ready to shoot us.

"Ahem..ahem...I think we should get going..the race will start soon" Harper said nervously pulling me out of there, sensing them.

" Okay bye....all the best..." Rose chirped and joined us. I didn't dare to turn back and fixed my head straight looking wherever Harper took me.

" What was going on!?" Harper whispered me will we were walking.

" Nothing " I told her, hoping she wouldn't question me anymore.

" Oh come on... I know something is wrong! Tell me what is it" Harper's mother hen mode turned on.

" Nothing, I am fine and alive..." I fired back quickly, looking at anywhere but her.

" Mmm.... I am wife of Iron man" She raised her eyebrow mockingly, choosing to remain silent.

" Leave it, how did you meet Hayden..tell me he is your boyfriend" Harper wiggled her eyebrows.

" What no....he is not...he is just a friend. It's his first race so he pulled me to cheer and watch his first match"

" What really...he is participating in the race!, that's so cool.." Harper was amused.

" So how does this race go?"

" They have go round the forest,cross the west side hill and then come back, whoever comes back first, they are the winner. Look they are about to start."

There were many cars lined up on a wide track that was lit by several light generators. I could see Vincent's Dodge Challenger Hellcat, Chevrolet Corvette, Silver Audi TT, green Mustang with the black skull painted over his hood, there were many other cars too.

Suddenly someone waved at me from Audi TT.

Hayden!

I happily waved him back and signalled him a good luck. Then my eyes suddenly met with Vincent, he was giving me a glance full of hatred. I averted my eyes quickly. Blake and Vincent got inside the Dodge Challenger Hellcat putting their helmet. The match was about to begin.

The furious rumbling of engines roared through the air, and the spectators cheered.

A race girl wearing knee high boots and a mini skirt that barely covered her butt sashayed her way to the starting line, breaking through my thoughts, and marked the start of the race.

The cars left the starting line in a cloud, of smoke and my pulse quickened with excitement. I never cared much about racing, and I didn't understand what was so special about it, but watching it in person with the sounds of engines and ecstatic crowd all around fed me with energy.

I was sucked in the world, my eyes plastered to the cars. Soon they left.

" Look they have to cross the road, take a lap on the foresty area...it's quite risky, but Vincent is good at this " Emma boasted.

" Why two people have to sit in one car ? " I asked her confused.

" Well, you see this race is life risking task, there are many hurdles...bumpy roads, steep area, it's not easy to win the race. So they have a spare partner so if anything happens to him, another person will replace him or help in some situation if something goes wrong"

" So here Vincent drives and Blake guides him... Blake tells him where to go, what to do..that's make them unbeatable." Aaron added.

We waited for 1 and a half hour and then suddenly crowd went wild..cars were coming!!!

I saw Hayden's car from a distance. I was amazed by Hayden's skills, who seemed to rule the track. He was accelerating way before any of other drivers could. He said he had been waiting for the race for a long time. I don't know why internally I wanted him to win.

Maybe he is your friend that's why....

Go Hayden! You can do it!!!!

He was passing many cars with ease, putting more distance between them, my eyes were only fixed to his car. Watching him, cheering him.

I was hell nervous, I had a gnawing feeling, my heart beating fast. He was going fine...then suddenly Dodge Challenger Hellcat, pulled over.

Shit! Isn't it's Vincent's and Blake's car!!

Hayden's engine roared when he quickened, almost passing the Challenger, but Vincent swerved sharply to block Hayden.

It was like Vincent wasn't leaving him to move ahead, he himself didn't overtake him, he was maintaining the same phase as Hayden's.

Why isn't he overtaking him!?? What do you want Vincent!.

I got a ill feeling something bad was going to happen, and..... now it happened. Vincent dashed into Hayden's car, he was continuously bumping his car on his.

What is he doing!????

If he continues it... Hayden's car will definitely loose it's balance....

Then suddenly Vincent brought his car towards Hayden's car and dashed him with all force.

Noooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hayden lost his balance and....then his car crashed.

My hands started to tremble, his car almost crashed into pieces.

Noooooooooo!!!! Why????? Hayden!!!!!

" Hayden!!!!! Noooooooooo" I screamed loudly. The car flew in air and stumbled many times. It shattered into many pieces. My heart was beating wildly. I couldn't believe what just happened!.... I was panicking.

They dashed his car......they just did it with no remorse...

After few seconds...The crowd burst into cheers, when Vincent's car finished first, like everything was normal.

Can't they see a disaster happened!!!!

Some people gathered Hayden's car, I wanted to go to him, but suddenly Rose caught me.

"Where are you going!? "

" Leave me... I need to go towards Hayden" I was crying heavily. I was going mad due to trauma. But Emma, Rose and Harper caught me.

" It's common Jennie...it happens in the race.... there's nothing to freak about" Xavier said.

What!! can't they see someone is dying...that bastard did it purposely....

They were not leaving me, I tried to wiggle off, but they increased pressure. I saw someone took Hayden and a guy out of the crashed car. Hayden was badly injured and his body was covered with blood, but he was breathing, but not like a normal person. They were taking his body away somewhere.

" Leave me I need to go...." I shouted crying heavily. Tears were non stop falling from my cheeks. I was going weak.

" Relax...they are taking him to the hospital.. everything's fine! Why are you tensing up" Emma said caressing my back.

They pulled me towards the crowd. The viewers darted towards the track to greet the winner. The excited murmurs carried two names through the air, Vincent and Blake.

Some took pictures of them, some were taking pictures of their car. Girls were throwing themselves upon them. Rose, Emma,.... everyone were cheering for them. Nobody was caring about the car crash.

Then my eyes met with the beast. He gaze was piercing, his icy green eyes promising me nothing but pain. Vincent's gaze was full with contempt. We were starting at each other, despite of people around us. It was full of hatred.

Wh* re..... slut.... cheap... thrash....broke what all he called me.. he even attacked Hayden without any remorse...

The words and his actions...were burning me, my anger rose.

I was tired of him, his continuous insults, his torture....

I hate him..... I hate him so much. He didn't leave even Hayden..he is a bloody psychopath...how can he play with someone's life...

Vincent and Blake started coming towards us. Blake smirked at me, and Vincent just stared at me.

Everyone started congratulating them. Rose, Emma, Jisoo, .....everyone hugged them. I and Harper stood silently. I was burning with anger now.

I looked at Vincent who was already looking at me with no emotion and zero remorse.

He had no limit. No shame. And he had absolutely no empathy. It was too much, I couldn't put up with it anymore. I couldn't just keep quiet and hide under the people like a scared kid, hoping that danger would pass. No more. I felt high on fury. I wanted to kill him.

Pent up anxiety was like a ticking bomb. It could explode any moment.

Mine finally exploded.

I went towards him. He was so close to me that it was very easy for me to slap him and so I did it.

*Phaaaaaattttttttt*

I slapped him hard. I could say it was a good slap by the stinging of my hand. Everybody's attention were on us now. There was a pin drop silence.
