BROKEN:A BULLY ROMANCE CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT: ATHENA
We all watched as Leo ripped off the wrapping paper and opened his gift first, which contained a new pair of basketball shoes and a new basketball with what appeared to be a signature scribble on the side."Athena said you liked basketball, so I got my brother to get you a signed basketball from your favorite player, Michael Jordan," Sophia explained, and Leo abruptly stood up from his chair and walked over to her, crouching down and hugging her tightly."Thank you, Sophia, this is by far one of the best gifts I've ever received," Leo said, tightening his hold on her."It's okay, dear, think of it as a gift for taking care of my baby," Sophia said, smiling down at him as he stood up and walked back to his seat, hugging the gift as if it would disappear if he let go. I smiled as I stared at the three of them, there were still kids like me no matter how tough or mature they acted.Austin opened his gift when Leo took his seat, and unlike Leo, he couldn't control his emotions; his eyes w

Before we left Athena's apartment, I considered stopping by my house to get more clothes for school when we arrived at the apartment complex rather than waiting until tomorrow. By the time we got to the house, Shane was already asleep, so we put him to bed first. Then we both went into the sitting room, and since I didn't want to worry him if he woke up and didn't see me around, I decided it was best to tell him I was going home to get some things."Hey Leo, I'd like to go get some stuff from home, since I'm basically living here already," I explained."Do you want me to drop you off? It won't be a problem." Leo said as he removed his tie and collapsed on the couch looking exhausted, I couldn't make him drive me in his tired state; that would be selfish of me, even if he says it's okay."It's all right, bro, I can walk; I need the exercise after eating so much at Athena's apartment.""Are you sure? I can change and we can leave in a minute.""I'm sure, get some rest, and if I need yo

Slowly, I opened my eyes and looked around the room, trying to remember where I was. I was sprawled out on a bed in a room with all-white walls and a faint antiseptic smell. When my ears adjusted to where I was, there was a repeated beeping sound in the room, so I turned in that direction and saw that the alarm I had sent on my phone which was on the bedside table was on repeat.The beeping was quite annoying, so I reached out to see what I could do to stop it, then I felt a sharp pain in my hand, causing me to look down, there was an IV inserted into my hand that was connected to a drip stand, confirming what I was thinking that I'm in a hospital ward, but why was I admitted?Then everything that had happened came rushing back to me; my mother had been shot, and the doctor told me she had gone into a coma due to a lack of oxygen to her brain, and the agonizing pain from before overwhelmed me once more.What was I going to do if she didn't survive? There was no way I could live witho

"First Officer Simon, I need you to take a step back from him," Sophia said as she walked in front of me, putting a distance between officer Simon and me."This isn't any of your business, Sophia, stay out of it," Officer Huston said as he took a step towards Sophia to pull her out of the way, but Leo got to her first, blocking him from getting closer to her."It's best if you listen to the lady and back up Officers, we both know you don't want to cause a scene," Leo growled as he stepped in front of Sophia, his large physique preventing Officer Huston from getting to her which made him quite annoyed judging from his expression."Leo, it's okay, I can handle them," Sophia said as she placed her hand on Leo's shoulder, causing him to move to the side. He turned to face her, a questioning look in his eyes."Are you sure?" he asked."Yes, it's fine, go stay with the others," "OK, Sophia," Leo answered as he turned to walk away, then that idiot Huston thought it was a good idea to threat

The cool breeze on my bare legs jolted me awake. When I turned to my nightstand to see what time it was, the alarm clock read 2am. So I sat up in bed, trying to adjust my eyes to the dimly lit room, but something didn't feel right; I had an uneasy feeling that someone was watching me.My gaze scanned the dimly lit room until it settled on a dark figure standing motionless in the corner of my room, his gaze fixed on me.I thought I was seeing things until the figure blinked, causing me to let out a loud gasp and tighten my grip on the blanket as a makeshift shield."Who are you? And what are you doing in my room?" I asked but he didn't reply and just stood there staring at me."If you don't answer me, I'm going to scream," I said to the intruder standing in the corner of my room, while trying to find something to protect myself, hoping this was just a dream and he wasn't really in my room."We both know you are not going to scream Princessa," the intruder said and I recognized his voice

The class fell silent, and everyone's gaze fell on me, shock visible in their eyes; I knew what they were all thinking: what the fuck just happened? because the old me would never have had the courage to confront anyone in the past, and now I was going to take on one of my bullies because he had said shit about my best friend and his mother, who is fighting for her life as I speak and the the fact he didn't respect that pissed me off, so i wanted to put him in his place.And this isn't the first time I've found myself not acting like my old self. There was that time with Adam, and to be honest, I like the person I'm becoming because the old me was never going to get anywhere in life.With Leo and Austin's help, I've learned to fight for myself because they allowed me to be who I truly was around them, so I'm not going to let anyone, not even these jerks who had made my life miserable, say shit about them, fuck the consequences."Can you come again, Sam, because I must have heard wrong

For the past few hours, I've been looking for leads to help me find where that jerk might be hiding. He went off the grid after the police announced on the news that he is a wanted fugitive charged with attempted murder and drug possession.I haven't told the guys I'm going after him to get justice for my mother because I don't want to worry them or drag them into anything potentially dangerous, and I know how they'd react; they'd be completely opposed to me going after him so I don't get hurt, but this is something I need to do so that we can all be at peace.Another reason I don't want them to know is that they both have people to protect, and I would never put them in a position where they had to choose between helping me and keeping them safe. That's why I think it's best if I keep them in the dark until he's arrested or Mr Miller gets to him first.So far, I've learned a lot about my stepfather thanks to a hacker friend of mine I met in juvie. He goes by Snow and he is the best

Few years ago…..Each year, Riverview High School hosts a junior high spelling bee in which Athena and Dylan were among the children who were taking part in this event this year.The spelling bee has been going on for an hour now, with a child being eliminated every minute if they misspell the word given to them by the judges.Out of 20 students, Athena and Dylan made it to the final round, but as Dylan was about to spell the word given to him, he missed a single letter, and the word was given to Athena, who spelt it correctly and was crowned the winner of the spelling bee.Dylan was furious that the daughter of a nobody was smarter than him and beat him at something he had spent months training for in order to impress his father so that he would finally notice him and stop comparing him to his brother, but Athena had ruined that, and this is where his hatred for her began. To make matters worse, Dylan's father, Mr Thompson, was present and witnessed his humiliating defeat. When ev

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
