BROKEN:A BULLY ROMANCE CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: ATHENA
Sophia arrived late last night, so I let her sleep in. So by 10 a.m., I sneaked into her room to serve her breakfast which included a stack of pancakes with maple syrup and a glass of orange juice, as well as a small birthday card beside her pancakes.I placed the tray on her bedside table, sat on the bed, and yelled "happy birthday Sophia!" She woke up, rubbed her eyes, and sat up in her bed."Aren't you a little old for this, Honey?" she asked, a small smile on her face."No, I made you breakfast, so go brush your teeth, I have a big day planned for you," I said, trying to contain my excitement about what I had planned for us."Can't I just sleep in like I always do?" she grumbled, trying to go back to bed."Nope, we have to celebrate because you only turn 27 once.""Wow, gosh, I'm old," she sighed audibly as she rolled out of bed and walked into the bathroom to brush her teeth. I served her pancakes after she came out of the bathroom and sat back down on the bed."Thank you for brea

Athena has missed two full days of school already. I, therefore, therefore expected her to be waiting for me in her seat, grinning, when I entered the class, but she was absent yet again. As I sat down for the customary roll call, Mr. Hunter entered the class. All of the people, both present and absent, had their names called out by him."I see Miss Marcos isn't around today," he said looking at her sitting with a scowl on his face, "she has the worst attendance in this class, does anyone know why she is absent"."Perhaps she finally killed herself to free us from having to look at that ugly ass face," Diana jokes, and the entire class bursts out laughing."Why don't you shut up, Diana?" I yelled, turning to face her."What did you say?" she asked, surprised"Are you deaf? I said shut the fuck up if you have nothing better to say" "Mr Smith mind the language you use in this class" Mr Hunter said in a warning tone glaring at me"Oh now you can speak, when she was saying shit about one
BROKEN:A BULLY ROMANCE CHAPTER TWENTY: LEO
Austin and I met in the parking lot at the end of the school day to drive to my apartment for our school project. He kept staring at me as we walked to my truck, as if he was trying to figure me out. "Okay, I will bite. Why are you staring at me like that?". "Like what?" "Like um some puzzle you are trying to figure out, but it is not going too well for you." "Yeah, I am trying to figure you out, because dude, I don't get you, Diana just told you why I went to jail, and you're still taking me to your house, why?" "Listen, if I saw you as a threat, we wouldn't be here right now, Austin; it's not that I trust you or something, but you seem like a good guy, and I'm a very good judge of character, so don't get your knickers in a twist about why." "You might be as crazy as I am, and dude, I'm batshit crazy," he said, puzzled. "You're not the first person to call me crazy." "Well, since you hold me in such high regard and are so determined to be my friend, I owe you an explanation."

I was about to open the door when someone knocked; when I opened it, it was Austin. "Hey dude, hey Shane, your offer for the ride still stands right or this is going to be really awkward," "Hi, Austin" Shane waved and Austin gave him a smile "Yeah it does, we were just about to leave" I said as handed him a pack of lunch, he gave me a confused look,"I told Shane you were going to ride with us today, so he made extra for you.""You knew I was coming," he said with a raised eyebrow."Not really, but even if you didn't come with us, I could have given you at school," I shrugged. "I See, well thanks for the meal, little man," Austin said as he ruffled Shane's hair with a huge grin on his face.We all got into the car and headed to Shane's school. Shane and Austin were discussing the anime "One Piece" that we were both obsessed with. And it turns out, Austin enjoyed watching anime as well.Summer was already waiting for Shane at the school gate, and he practically flew out of the car to

"It started three years ago," she said, before telling us that Dylan and his friends began bullying her, and it only got worse with each passing year, and this year was no exception."What was Diana talking about when she said your and Dylan's last encounter?" "I would rather not talk about it," She said as she wrapped her hands around her torso.I wanted to press her but Austin touched my shoulder, I knew what he was thinking, I should let it go but that fucker did something to her and it must have been bad from her reaction just now."Will you tell us someday?" Austin and I asked, "Maybe?" She replied, "that's if I live through their plans for me," but she said the last part quietly, so we couldn't hear her properly."I knew that fucker was messed up in the head, but fuck this is on another level, have you ever tried going to the cops?"She laughed sarcastically, "I tried once but it was swept under the rug, the boys found out, I faced hell that next week, that video you saw Leo wa

After detention, the class fell silent, and I couldn't stop thinking about what Leo had said to Austin; I don't think he even noticed what he had said; he said I was his, but what did he mean by that? Should I ask him? It was all so unsettling; perhaps I was overthinking things; but I'm not sure why I was reading so much into this situation.Would I like us to be more than just friends? I'll be honest. I had entertained the idea of us becoming more than just friends; which made me wonder what it would be like to be Leo's girlfriend? Maybe I should just ask him because it's so frustrating."What's going through that pretty head of yours, Princessa?" I said right away, feeling the heat in my cheeks; I must be as red as a tomato right now. "If it's nothing, why are you blushing? Please, tell me.""i.., can't say""You guys should find a room, you're looking at her like you want to kiss the hell out of her face," Austin said before making kissing noises at Athena."Stop it, Austin," Athen

After hearing what Shane said about the assault, I wondered what was going through the minds of Zack Sanders and his friends when they attacked Shane. After all, what would they have said about Summer to cause Shane to confront a group of guys who were older than him? Even though he had the advantage in stature, he was outnumbered but still defended her?.All i know is that he's a good kid, and Leo was doing a decent job with him; I hope this town doesn't ruin him.I snuck in through the window hoping not to wake my mum and her new boyfriend, who has been staying with her ever since I went to juvie and returned, she says she loves him but I know my mum quite well, it's all a bunch of crap, my mum literally falls in love every month, so whatever is between them will never last.When I walked into the kitchen, they were both drinking in the living room on the couch; after the day I had, I was annoyed to see her drinking; because of her bad liver, she promised me she would stop, but I wa

Leo and Austin left the next day after Sophia attended to all of his injuries and gave him painkillers; she also threatened to add more bruises if he didn't listen and rest. Austin seemed terrified of my aunt, despite the fact that she was much smaller than him at the time. I was about to return to my room when Sophia called me into hers. When I came in, she was sitting on her bed."So, I finally got to meet Leo and he's very attractive, but who is the other guy?" Sophia inquired, her gaze piqued; I don't blame her; anyone else in their right mind would ask if their ward had brought a bloodied and bruised teenager to their home and requested that they treat him."Do you remember a few years ago when a guy from my school was sent to jail for protecting a little girl from a known paedophile, yeah Austin, he was the guy, he just got out a few days ago," I explained, and recognition flashed across her face."So, what happened to him yesterday?"she asked."He is staying with his mother and

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

It's surprising that it's already the end of the school year, and I've done so many things in the last few months that I'm proud of that I've done my entire life. 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

I was looking through my phone when I heard a knock on the door. Hm! I wasn't expecting anyone, so who could it be? I wondered as I stood up and walked towards the door, rubbing my tired eyes. 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?" Because they don't look like locals,""You and me both, Nurse Sam, thanks, I'll go see them now.""No problem, kid, let me get back to work and remember to get some sleep," she said as she walked away, leaving me to my thoughts.What do they
