Jake Puckerman

Jake: Please, I  am not in the house as you speak to me. I am already running to Canada. Nah, Rose, I'll be there. It's food.

Your Gran has told a lot about you not people at school. She talks about you non stop. [Marley saw Jake’s face so stopped talking almost instantly. ] wow thanks for being so honest. [she smiled as she started singing,moving out of his arms,walking backwards in front of him.] come on, then why did you sign up for glee club if you don’t sing? please. stop being embarrassed and sing.   how you gonna sing in big crowds in glee club if you can’t sing on the streets of Lima. barely anyone is around. 

My Gran last saw me when I was 10 years old. I am not a kid anymore. [Jake shrugged, trying to keep his breath inside his body as he felt the prickle of aggression inside him flare. His dark eyes followed her and as she took offence, he huffed out a breath.] Look, you said they didn’t like you. So, when they say that your drawings are good, they are too good for them to degrade.  [Continuing to watch her sing annoyed him, she was not meant to be singing where people could see them. It was the same as wearing a neon sign that stated, “ I WANT TO BE HARRASED”] I don’t sing…I really don’t. [He wasn’t lying either, he could do some street running and street dancing, but never had he been interested or sung anything before. The question that was delivered just caused him to frown, he didn’t expect or want to sing in front of people. He had been forced into taking an extra curriculum to keep him out of trouble, not because he wanted to do the things they entailed.  In fact, Jake would have preferred taking a sport up, but there was no openings until the basketball try-outs.] 

i know you very well. i’ve learned a lot about you over these past days. [Marley said with a giggle, feeling his nudge then his arm wrap around her once more, making her feel safe once again] uhm i sing and dance oh and i draw but there not good even though everyone says they are. [Marley giggled,looking up at him. he was just a little bit taller then her but not to much, which she liked that. she smiled, resting her head and started humming a thousand years, then started quietly singing] I have died everyday waiting for you, Darling, don’t be afraid, I have loved you For a thousand years I’ll love you for a thousand more

No, you heard a lot of things about me. You haven't learned anything. [Jake grew stubborn, his jaw tightening into a position that meant his walls were being pulled up around him. Keeping himself safe, but also keeping Marley safe from his secrets. Though he began to get internally cold, he kept his arm around her. ] Then why would people say that? Everyone hates you. [Jake said honestly, the blunt comment a little colder than anticipated. When she began to sing, Jake shook his head, never one to sing to anyone. It wasn't his style and honestly, he thought her action a little cheesy. Who randomly burst out into song in the middle of the street?] I don't sing. [He stated, looking around to make sure no one else had to witness his embarrassment.]

  [Marley noticed how he was holding her so she wouldn’t hurt. smiling noticing that he notice how much she actually wanted to go and break the rules. ] you like me, huh? is the bad boy letting out his feelings? [she said with a smile walking out the door, the cold air hitting her making her shake almost instantly,moving closer to him to keep warm turning to face him when he let go of her waist.] a motorcycle. uh i don’t know about that, a two wheeled death trap. i rather stick to the walk. much much safer and my back still hurts so a motorcycle ride it’s for me right now, maybe some other time. 

Rose, you aren't that bad. Your growing on me, but if you think I'm letting out my feelings...You don't know me.[ He smiled back, then nudged her with his arm. Chuckling when she said no to the ride, he bobbed his head and wrapped his arm back around he to keep her safe from harm. ]So, Marley Rose, what do you do for fun? [ He asked gently, walking down the sidewalk, wrapped together as close as what would be acceptable to not seem too together. After all, he was thinking of he reputation more than his. Jake was actually really interested in what she did with her life, where she wanted to go.]

[Marley kept a hold of Jake, see she was in to much pain with her back to let go. liking the feeling of this, it made her feel alive. Jake made her feel something she had never ever felt before. ] Marley… call me Marley. [she told him, in a soft voice. ] i would love too, Jake. anything to get out of here. right now, maybe ice cream will make my back feel better. 

[Slowly, he walked down the corridor. His grip was slack enough to keep her standing without hurting her.  He smirked into her hair, realizing how she wanted to break the rules was an accomplished him.] Oh, Rose. If I called you Marley, you might realize I actually like you. [He laughed softly, pushing open the double doors to the car park.] So, do you wanna go all bad-ass on this situation? Ride behind me on my motorcycle, or do you wanna just have a slow walk? [He smirked, letting his hand slowly  unwrap from her waste.]

[Marley watched him, hated that he fought two people but loved that he saved her from getting more hurt then she already was. watching him extended his hand to her, second guess to take it or to just stay on the floor. She just nodded, slowly reaching for his hand, pulling herself up wincing as a shoot pain rushed though her back once again. leaning against him for support. ] T-Thank you. [she whispered to him as the started to exit the cafe with a crowd of people staring at them] 

[A small smile pulled at his lips as the girl's hand clasped around his. It made the sore knuckles easier to bare with the warmth of her skin on his. It was, relieving in a way. Wrapping his arm around her waist, he gently helped her out of the dinning hall.] Don't mention it, Rose. [ He whispered into her ear, helping her down the silent corridor.] So, I would ask if you want to skip, go to an ice cream parlour...But, I dunno if you would say yes to that? [He asked softly, having a a feeling she would say no--after all, it was against the 'rules'. ]

[Marley felt pain rushing though her back, she watched Jake defend her, jumping every swing he took, sitting up from her place on the ground, looking at the two guys on the ground and Jake standing before her. ] you defended me, why? [she asked slowly but then looking around seeing everyone staring, even her mom] 

[Jake kept looking at her. Tasting iron of blood on his tongue, he accumulated the saliva in his mouth and spat the blood out of his mouth onto the floor. He must have bit his tongue or something in the fight, but he didn't care what mattered now was getting out of the situation. There was not even enough time to answer Marley. Striving forward, slightly limping, he outstretched his hand. Offering it for Marley to take] Come on, we have to get out of here. [ Waiting for her to take it, he looked deep into those blue eyes, silently promising something if she decided to take his tanned hand.]

[Marley tried to not listen to them as they went on about her and her mom. hearing the drink land on the table and not seconds later, Jake’s voice. looking up slightly to see Jake, but looked down once more, feeling tear start to form in her eyes. a few tears going down her cheek. ] please leave me alone [she told the two boys, once she said that, she felt her chair flip from under her and the next thing she knew her back as to the cold ground of the cafe, wincing as she hit the ground]
