“don’t you think that’s enough?” with this one question, all of his friends attention was suddenly on him, they had turned to him and were staring at him as if he’d just announced that pigs could fly. because nobody, absolutely no one, ever dared to say anything against kent, it was the unspoken, golden rule among the group. accordingly, irritated silence ensued for a while, kent had almost dropped his beer bottle out of shock and finally slowly stood up from his chair. “you know, that’s been bothering me for a while now. you have changed.” a piercing look met his and now he had also gotten up, no one went voluntarily against this guy and usually aiden would have tried to avoid it at all cost as well – if only, kent hadn’t mentioned her name. “never mind.” aiden said it before he turned around and that was his crucial mistake, the next second he felt a dull hit on the back of his head, he abruptly lost his balance and fell down to the ground. “and what now? is it enough for you, aiden? he heard the others bellow behind him, slowly aiden tried to get himself back up, but as soon as he stood, the next blow followed. of course, he was being cheered on by the laughter of his friends. "don’t you dare to assume you have anything to say here. i’m not stupid, thought i didn’t see you watching my girlfriend all the time? you piece of shit.” and before he could strike again, aiden had avoided him, he started to run rather staggering, that was his only chance. their chase went down the street, hardly anyone was here in the middle of the night and even if someone was, he doubted that they would help him. his head was spinning, he knew he was bleeding, and with his last strength he pushed himself over a fence behind which he hid. quietly, he watched as the group ran past, moved away and he cursed silently. maybe kent wasn’t so wrong, he did start to look at his girlfriend with different eyes and the hope that she finally found someone who’d treat her better.
josephine met kent when she was fifteen at the beginning of her sophomore year ---- he sat behind her in biology & always borrowed a pen from her ( which she would be sure to retrieve at the end of the period ) . as the year progressed , they exchanged phone numbers , he asked her to the homecoming dance & after that , they were always together . it felt like a fairytale , he was chivalrous , made sure to walk her to & from school everyday until he got a car & insisted on driving her anywhere she needed to go . her closet grew exponentially in the time that she knew him , accumulating sweatshirts & t - shirts of his that she would often wear & became a staple of her wardrobe . slowly but surely , josephine fell in love -- she fell hard , kent asked her out at her seventeenth birthday party & she of course said yes . her identity was shaped around being kent jackson’s girlfriend , a sad but true truth , being a very popular guy meant she was no longer josephine rosario , eventual valedictorian , she was kent’s blonde girlfriend , but naive & in love , she didn’t mind . things took a dark , sour turn when they graduated from high school . josephine wanted to follow in her mother’s footsteps & become a surgeon , something she worked extremely hard towards , but kent chose a different direction . of course , joining a fraternity house was not what josephine would have chosen for him , but nonetheless , she played the role of the supporting girlfriend , they were high school sweethearts . however , with each night , each party , each alcoholic beverage , each line he did & each blunt he hit , who kent formerly was drifted further . the infidelities were what hurt her the most , he cheated on her constantly with any girl who was willing . her self worth had begun deteriorating , she spent most of her nights crying in one of his sweatshirts . josephine had tried to do anything she could to take her mind off of her dying relationship , which usually resulted in late nights at the library where she would busy herself with a novel or two , it helped , it did , but only temporarily . her feet carried her slowly across the pavement , the silence rung in her ears , but she liked the quiet , preferred it to the deafening house party music that she’d become unfortunately familiarized with . the commotion startled her , so much that she dropped the books that she had clutched against her chest . she hung back , keeping her distance , hid behind a tree . kent . what have you done ? she knit her eyebrows in confusion , watching aiden climb a fence , obviously weakened , blood trickling down his face . josephine didn’t like any of kent’s friends , but aiden , he was tolerable ---- he didn’t always laugh at the jokes made by her boyfriend , which was to say a lot , because kent was definitely the alpha male . when the group disappeared from her gaze , she quickly moved towards the fence that she watched aiden jump , her tone as soft as ever , ‘ -- aiden ? are you okay ? what happened ? ’
