I got up early today to make breakfast and get everything ready before leaving. I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to look for work because, even if we had savings, we couldn't rely on it forever.

Another thing on my mind was our parents' death anniversary, which was approaching, and I was wondering if Shane would like to go to their grave and see them; it's been a tradition since they died, but we weren't able to go last year, so I maybe we can go but I would've to ask him first.

Due to the fact that I couldn't leave Shane alone at home during his suspension, I decided to skip school for the next three days; it's not like I'll miss anything

"Wake up little man, you need breakfast, I'm going out early today to find a job," I told Shane as I tried to coax him out of bed.

But instead of getting up he turned to the other side, attempting to fall back asleep. "Dude, get up or I'll wake you up the hard way," I said but got no response so i walked into the bathroom to get a bow

  • BROKEN:A BULLY ROMANCE   CHAPTER TEN: LEO

    Today marks the fifth anniversary of my parents' deaths. On this day five years ago, our parents died, and Shane lost his ability to speak. Even after five years, the image of Shane hooked up to machines haunts my dreams. Every year on this day, I was in a bad mood, so I rarely did anything except visit their grave. I went over to Shane's room to see if he was awake. I found him sitting on his bed with his hands over his face, and when he looked up to acknowledge me, I noticed he was crying.I rushed over to him. "Are you all right, Shane?" I asked, sitting on the edge of the bed beside him and pulling him into a hug. I rubbed my hand down his back, trying to comfort him, but he continued to cry for thirty minutes before stopping."Hey buddy, can you tell me what's going on? You're making me worried," I asked quietly, but he looked away as if trying to avoid my question. "I need to know what's going on, Shane. Please tell me," I insisted."Why didn't I just die with them that day, Leo

    Two days had passed since Dylan had attacked me in that classroom. No matter how hard I scrubbed, I could still feel his hands on my body and down my pants, so the only good part of the past few days was that Sophia was Back home.Sophia just returned from a week-long visit with her stepbrother, and I didn't want her to find out because she'll get upset because she doesn't want me to be hurt by them. I gave her a chance to calm down before knocking on her door and waiting for her to answer. When the door finally opened, I pulled her in for a hug."Hey, Athena, I missed you so much, what has happened since I left, are those boys still bothering you, and don't lie to me, you know you're a terrible liar" "Nothing gets past you Sophia, yes they do, but it's nothing I can't handle," I reassured her with a smile. I didn't want to bother her because she had a lot on her plate already. She didn't seem to believe me, but she didn't push me."So Uncle Jerry got a new girlfriend again, she seems

    When I woke up, I was in one of the school's classrooms, it was dark outside so I couldn't see anything, I tried moving to find my way out but couldn't, then the lights came on and I was surrounded by Dylan and his friends, they were throwing trash at me and calling me nasty names, then the lights went out and I found myself standing in the hallway totally confused.I tried calling out for someone, but there was no response, and I began to panic because I couldn't remember leaving the house for school. Then, as I was lost in thought, three guys wearing Halloween masks emerged from the empty classroom around me. This terrified me because we were the ones here and they were just standing staring at me not saying a word.One of the guys reached into his pocket and pulled out an army knife without even waiting to see what he was going to do with it. I turned around and ran as fast as I could, but the faster I ran, the closer they got, and then the guy wearing the mask from the movie Scream

I packed everything I needed for work in my bag and went to the living room to wait for Sophia to come from her room. After a few minutes, I became lost in my thoughts.William Sanderson, the school football team's quarterback, was my first and only friend and boyfriend in junior year. I believed he cared about me, but it was all a lie. I vividly recall the day I discovered he was a lying good for nothing asshole.My phone rang, and I looked at the caller ID; it was William, and as I picked it up, a smile spread across my face; his beautiful voice spoke on the other end of the phone."How are things in France, Will?""All right, I guess.""What's going on with you?" I asked because he wasn't sounding like his usual self "I have something to tell you.""What are you scaring me about?" "I'm breaking up with you.

    Shane and I walked into Rudy's Diner for lunch, I hoped my Principessa was working today, I couldn't stop thinking about her, she looked cute whenever she blushed, I remember the day she ran into me, she looked so fucking adorable, then she walked into a door, I couldn't stop laughing, I knew it wasn't cool but I couldn't stop myself.I could see my Principessa approaching to take our order from afar, and a smile formed on my face. Shane noticed my smile and turned around to see what I was looking at. When he saw Athena, he started making kissing faces. I kicked his leg under the table, and when he tried to retaliate, Athena had already arrived at our table."Hi Athena,"i greeted, and she looked at me in shock "You know my name", she asked, fuck she looked adorable with that confused expression on her face."Yes I know your name, we go to the same school, and we sit together in every class we have together since I arrived at Riverview," i said casually watching her reaction carefully.

    I really enjoyed hanging out with Leo and Shane at the park on Saturday, and I was looking forward to seeing Leo today. There is no denying that Leo is attractive, but after my last encounter with William, I couldn't let him into my world without extra caution. I can't be certain, but he doesn't seem like that kind of person.I was on my way to my locker when I found Leo leaning against it. I couldn't stop staring. His hair was packed into its signature bun, and he looked great as usual with his hair packed up. I was about to avert my gaze when he caught me staring at him."Take a picture, it will last longer," he said, laughing softly. I blushed at his remark, playful punching him in the arm. As we walked towards homeroom, we talked about Saturday and how much fun he and Shane had. But my happy morning was cut short when Dylan and his friends showed up."Well, isn't it the residential freak and her little boy toy," Dylan said as he and his friends approached us, "He is more of a lap

    After the only drama in class, it was time for lunch, Athena and I walked into the cafeteria and all eyes were on us, Dylan and his group were glaring at us, I wondered why, after we got our food, Athena and I were walking towards our seat when someone tripped her, she fell to the ground, falling on her face,"Fuck, Principessa, are you okay?" I softly asked and helped her to my feet, then I took a couple of tissues from my tray and hers to stop the bleeding, then I held her head back and waited for the bleeding to stop, which it did a few minutes later. When I noticed Diana smiling at me, I realized she was to blame for Athena's fall."You should be more careful, freak, you might get hurt," Diana laughed, and her friends joined in."Why do you have to be such a bitch Diana? Is your life so pathetic that you have to make other people feel miserable?" I growled angrily, I was so fed up with her bullshit."Why are you protecting that freak, she doesn't belong in our circle, she doesn't

    After what happened in the cafeteria yesterday, I decided not to go today because I couldn't face Leo just yet after he saw that video of me. It was so difficult to predict how he would respond, so I hoped he wouldn't side with them. I haven't had my first kiss, but after that video was taken, rumours started spreading and I started getting called a while afterWe just met, so why should I even care what he thinks? 'Maybe because you like him and want him to stick by your side', my subconscious thought suggested. I just feel so frustrated not knowing so it's best I take my mind off it by doing other things. Sophia left early for work, leaving me home alone, so I decided to clean the house.After I finished cleaning, I headed over to Rudy's for lunch while still considering what I could do for Sophia's birthday, which was the following day. As I walked inside the diner, I waved at Tina, who frequents the diner regularly. "How are you, Tina?" I said hello as I took a seat in one of the

    The persistent beeping sounds beside me filled the air as I slowly began to wake up. I blinked my eyes open, revealing a sterile setting with white walls. As the beeping grew more intense, I tried to sit up, only to be greeted by a searing pain in my abdomen that elicited an involuntary groan.So I decided to remain still, scanning the room with my eyes. There, I saw Shane peacefully asleep in Sophia's embrace on a large couch at the foot of my bed. Meanwhile, Austin appeared uncomfortable, dozing off in a chair nearby. Fighting through the discomfort, I managed to croak, "Hey, Austin... What happened?" Since he was the lightest sleeper, I hoped to catch his attention first.I wondered where I was as I tried to wake up Austin, who seemed fast asleep. My eyes searched the room for clues, and when my mind became clearer, I realized I was in a hospital. But the question remained: why was I here?I called out for Sophia, and her eyes opened instantly, locking onto me. Tears welled up as

    An hour ago.."Hello little mouse, it was so easy to get you up here, all I had to do was take that morons phone and text you, and you came running to him without any questions asked," Dylan said, his breath fanning my neck as I attempted to remain still so he wouldn't notice how afraid I was."Where is Leo? If you don't let me go, I'm going to scream bloody murder," I managed to say, but my trembling voice betrayed me, showing my fear."Oh, don't worry about him, little mouse; after all, when his old friend is finished with him, your boyfriend will wish he hadn't crossed me," Dylan said, and I could tell he was smiling."What are you talking about? You sick fuck, where is Leo?" I cursed, causing his hold on my shoulders to tighten."If he ignored you like everyone else and minded his own fucking business maybe you wouldn't have even thought of fighting back then and now" "Shut up! You're sick, you made my life miserable" "Ever since he arrived, you have been acting like you own the

    The semester was finally over, and I couldn't wait for the holidays, so I could spend time with Athena and the guys at her uncle's ski resort in Mount Everett, where we will be having the time of our lives. But I think her uncle had ulterior motives when he invited us to spend the holiday there because Athena told us he wanted to meet with Austin, Shane, and me to find out who she has been hanging out with. I don't blame him; Athena was wonderfully kind and easy to take advantage of; she sees the good in everyone even if there isn't. The year wasn't perfect, but it provided me with the opportunity to meet Athena, Sophia, and Austin, the most important people in my life after Shane.They have made my life more enjoyable than it was when we lived in New York. Shane is always cheerful when they are around, which makes me glad because he was a totally different kid when my parents were still alive, sad, and closed off from everyone but me.With Athena and his overprotective elder broth

I stood up to my bullies and am now secure in my own skin, no longer frightened to go around school.All of this was made possible by the new additions to my small family; I don't think I would have had the confidence to do all of this without them, they were my knights in shining armor and I love them to the moon and backAs usual, the end-of-the-year basketball game was held in Anwood, so I dressed up in the team colours of blue and black because Leo was playing today, and I wanted to support him in some way.It was his first official game in Riverview, and I wanted it to go well, so I was hoping they would win because It's a very important game of his high school basketball career and given how nervous he's been about it, I wanted to show him that I cared."You guys act like you'd die if you didn't see each other every day

    "I'm going to scream Dylan, let me go right now," I pleaded, my voice shaking with terror. "Go on, no one is going to hear you, Austin isn't around and lover boy is a little busy with James and Tom, so it's just you and me, little mouse" Dylan said, taking small steps towards me, I took steps backwards till my back met the wall, then he caged me with his hands when I tried to run, "Get away from me, you sick bastard," I yelled, my gaze darting around the room, trying to find a way out of here."Has lover boy fucked you yet? I'm sure he has, I know I would have; I told you at the beginning of the year that you were mine, but you still let that idiot touch you, and that pisses me off" Dylan said, anger evident in his tone as he stared at me."Fuck you!""I'm upset little mouse and you won't like me when I'm mad,." Dylan murmured his hands slid to my neck, his enraged gaze never leaving mine as he wrapped his hands securely around my neck squeezing tightly. I struggled against him, but

Stephen was sitting in one of the dining chairs, while Sophia was cooking breakfast in front of the stove, giggling at something he said."Hey guys," I murmured as I took a seat next to Stephen, who was eating an apple. How ironic."How are you, Athena? It's been a while," Stephen said, smiling. "Good and you?""I'm doing well, how is school?" "Good, I guess. How is work?" "Good, I guess," Stephen said, repeat

    I kept the letter a secret from Leo because it wasn't important, and telling him would only add to his worries, so I tore it up and soaked it in water before throwing it away.Even if the letter was gone, what Ford mentioned in the letter was still bothering me; what did he mean when he said Dalton was no longer a problem? I was buried in my thoughts as I glanced out the window when the door creaked open and Detective Adams and Sloan entered the room; judging by their demeanour, I knew something was wrong."Let's talk in the waiting room," I said as I exited my mother's ward and made my way to the waiting area, detectives Adams and Sloan following close behind, we took our seats in the corner of the waiting room, before Detective Adams started speaking."Austin," Detective Adams began, her voice kind yet solemn. "We have received an update on the case."My heart skipped a beat as I focused my attention on her. "What is it?"Detective Adams exchanged a glance with Sloan before continu

When I opened the door, there stood Nurse Sam on the other side, with a small smile on her face."Hey Leo, how are you?" Nurse Sam asked, her worried gaze fixed on me."I'm fine, nurse Sam, just a little tired," I answered"You need to get some rest before you crash. Don't make me sedate you, Leo,""I promise, Nurse Sam, I will; what brings you here?""Oh, I almost forgot, there are some detectives in the waiting room who said they want to see you.""Oh, what are their names?""I believe they said their names were Sloan and Adams; I wonder what they want?"
