Chapter 10
Jared did nothing to free himself of Danneel’s grip. He was frozen by the fear made by red-headed woman's glare. She looked at him with such hatred and disgust that he wondered what he had done to provoke those emotions. Never had he faced a such look.
"How could you dare to do that ?" Danneel asked coldly and full of hate. The young man couldn’t prevent himself from shivering.
"D-Dare to do what ?" he stuttered confused. Danneel narrowed her eyes and tightened her grip on his shirt.
"Did you think I didn't see what you did a moment ago before you left ? You kissed Jensen. My BOYFRIEND !" Without warning, she slapped poor Jared who was totally lost. It wasn’t him who had kissed Jensen but Jensen who had kissed him. Twice. He wanted to tell her that but she didn’t give him the time. "He is mine, Jared, you hear ? MINE. And I won’t let a… pathetic and sad little man like you steal him from me. You maybe play the little, innocent and naive boy but you don’t trick me. Jensen and Mark are totally idiots to believe those pathetic looks."
Danneel violently pushed him against the couch. Jared let himself fall, watching her with a look mixing fear, fright and panic. Where were Jensen and Mark ? Why didn’t they stop Danneel ? Didn’t they hear what she told him ?
"I know," the actress said suddenly.
"What ?"
"You take advantage of this situation, you take advantage of the fact that Jensen helps you to have what you want."
"What ? No, that’s wrong !" Jared protested. How could she tell him that ? Of course it was no. He didn’t take advantage of Jensen.
He suddenly received another slap, way stronger than the other. With an inconscious gesture, he put his hand on his red left cheek and looked at Danneel, surprised and confused. Apparently the actress hid her true temperament.
"DON’T LIE TO ME !" she screamed. "I know very well what you want to do. You want to use Jensen. Why wouldn’t you do that with what he gives to you ? Who wouldn’t dream to spend some time with one of the idols of the youngers of the world ? But I have a piece of info for you, pretty boy. Jensen doesn’t care about you ! For him, you’re nothing except a case of charity."
Jared opened his eyes wide. "What that’s supposed to mean ?"
Danneel started to laugh coldly. "He offers you to spend some days here just by charity, Jared, since it's great as for his image. Imagine what the press and people would say if they know that he had housed a poor Texan who came to Los Angeles to fulfill his dream, victim of an attack by four men who stole from him all that he had on him except his clothes. That would do him a good advertising, don't you think ?"
"You… You’re lying," Jared refuted. However he have difficults to believe it. Was that the right reason Jensen just housed him by charity and by interest ? He didn’t have the time to think about that because Danneel spoke.
"No, I don’t lie, pretty boy. Jensen has me so why would he go to see a guy like you ? The answer is this one I gave you." Jared shook his head to make those words disappear. The tears came in his eyes but he held them. He didn’t want to give at Danneel the pleasure to see him crying. "Now, as you know you aren’t welcome here, I suggest you to leave before the next morning. If it’s not the case, I’ll tell Jensen you have taken advantage of him."
The red-haired turned and left. Jared found himself alone in house’s big living-room. Then, suddenly, he stood up and ran all the way to the room where he had slept. His luggage didn’t need to be tidied so he contented himself with taking the phone settled in the room and called the airport to know what time did the next airplane left towards San Antonio. Fortunately he had hidden almost all his saving in socks who were in his bag and those hadn’t been stolen. The next airplane where there was room was this night at half past eleven. He so could leave discret without no one hear him.
After that, he called Misha. The latter answered at the first ring, as if he knew his friend was this one who called him.
"Mish ?"
"Jared ? Are you okay ?"
"Y-Yes." Jared’s voice broke at the end of the word. No, he wasn’t fine. The day who had started fine and that had been a source of happiness and entertain, was become a nightmare. His tears started to fall.
"No, that’s not fine. Jay, what’s happen ? Did that bastard do something to you ?"
"What ? No. No, he didn’t do something to me, Mish. I’ll tell you everything when I’ll be here. I… I caught the ticket to come back to San Antonio."
« Jared, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have reacted like that this morning. It’s just I worry for you. You’re alone there and from your first night, you were attacked by four men. Now you’re in your favorite actor’s house. The latter could take advantage of the crush you have for him to do what he wants. But if you want to stay at LA… do it because I know you always wanted to go and… I shouldn’t prevent you from fulfilling your dream."
Jared’s tears increased when he heard that.
"No, you’re right, it was a mistake to come here. I… It’s clear that alone I don’t know how to fend. And then… even if today I had fun when I visited the place where the show is shot, I realized that without you, it wasn’t the same. I… I missed you and… and my family too and… I just want to come back to San Antonio, my home, where I know I’m safe."
"Jay…" Jared didn’t need to see his best friend to know the latter had tears in his eyes. He sighed and continued to speak.
"My flight is at 11:30 p.m."
"I’ll be here when you arrive. Promise."
"Thank you, Mish."
"No thanks needed, Jay. It’s what…"
"Friends do, I know," Jared answered with a small smile. "I… I should go."
"Okay. I’ll see you tomorrow. Meanwhile, take care of youself."
"You too."
The two friends hung up. Jared sighed and put the phone on the night stand. His eyes fell on the alarm clock and he noticed it was around supper time. However he wasn’t hungry. And then, even if that had been the case, he didn’t want to get out of this room. Not with the fear of crossing Danneel. So he laid on the bed and tightened a pillow against his chest.
************************************************************************
It was eleven o’clock, it was the time for Jared to leave. All the rest of the day and the evening, he had stayed in this room. He only had got out of it for thirty minutes because Jensen had insisted. He hadn’t told him he was going to leave, he didn’t have the heart to do that. He just had told him he was tired and his ribs and his head hurt him. A good excuse to explain why he stayed in the room. He didn't see Mark again, the latter had gone back at his house after the dinner.
Being the time, Jared took his baggage and got out discret of his room. Fortunately (or maybe infortunately) Jensen was with Danneel in their bedroom. He didn’t know what they were doing and he didn’t want to know, and then, that’d ease his departure. The taxi he had called moments ago already waiting him when he got out of the house. The driver helped him to put his luggage in the trunk and took his place behind the wheel again. Jared watched the house for the last time before getting in the taxi who left immediately after toward the airport.
