BROKEN:A BULLY ROMANCE CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN: ATHENA
The next morning, Vera insisted we go dress shopping because we didn't have anything appropriate to wear to the party tomorrow, and because she, too, needed a dress for the party and needed shopping buddies to accompany her because Uncle Jerry doesn't know how to shop for clothes."You guys should take my card because I don't want you to use your money," Uncle Jerry said as he led us to the car that would take us to the mall. "I'm talking to you Sophia," he added."I can buy a gown for Athena and myself, Jerry; you don't need to give us your card," Sophia stated, refusing to use his card. I didn't want him to buy me a gown either, because I didn't want to bother him. I'm sure he has better uses for the money than buying us gowns we'd only wear once."Please just this once, I never really get to do these things for the two of you, so please agree to use my card to buy the dresses you guys want," uncle Jerry begged, giving us his best puppy dog eyes."I hate when you beg because it makes

Today was Vera's birthday, and Sophia and I were getting ready upstairs. Sophia wore a blue off-the-shoulder mermaid gown with a string of pearls and black pumps, and her hair was styled in a bun with hair accessories. while I wore my red off-the-shoulder vintage floral lace hi-lo gown and let my hair fall."Do you think this gown is too much?" I asked Sophia as I lifted the sleeve's of the dress up to my shoulders"No, you look really nice, honey," she said as she turned to admire my gown. She had a proud look on her face that made me smile."You look lovely, Sophia, Stephen will be so jealous he missed seeing you all dressed up," I said as Sophia smiled and hit me across the arm playfully.Sophia and I were ready a long time ago, but because I was nervous about going downstairs to meet everyone, Sophia suggested we wait a little longer so I could calm down. I took out my phone and looked at the time; thirty minutes had passed."Shit, I'm so sorry, I didn't realize it was already this

"What are you doing? Let me go "I said as I glared at him, wishing I could wipe that stupid grin from his face."Acting coy doesn't suit you Athena, I know you want me, every girl does," Adam said as he leaned in for a kiss, but I pulled away from him before he could."I'm not acting coy," I said, glaring at him, wondering if he was delusional or something, because I hadn't shown any signs that I was interested in him; I was just being friendly because he works with Uncle Jerry."You should consider yourself lucky, I'm interested in you," he said as he took a step towards me and I took a step back putting enough distance between us."I don't consider myself lucky because I'm not interested in you, Adam, so find someone else to bother."I said, making sure my tone conveyed my annoyance with him, because he clearly can't tell the difference between being friendly and flirting."You're just playing hard to get; I'm everything any woman wants; I'm rich, handsome, and famous; what's not to l

"Don't make a sound," a familiar voice said as he turned me around to face him, his hands still on my mouth to keep me from screaming, dread settled over me as I stared into Adam's blue hateful eyes, what was he doing here? I assumed Jackson's threat last night scared him off."I've been expecting you; what took you so long?" Adam asked, a sinister grin on his face as he dragged me to the chair and took his hands away from my face. Yes, I should have screamed, but it would have been useless because the room walls were soundproof."What are you doing here? Adam" I asked, but he ignored me and pushed me onto the chair while pulling zip ties from his hood."Don't even think of pulling a fast one on me," Adam said as he yanked my hand to the back roughly, using zip ties to bind my hands behind the chair; when he was finished, he came to sit in front of me with an evil smile on his face."What did you tell Jackson to do? Little butterfly "Adam questioned as he pulled out an army knife simil
BROKEN:A BULLY ROMANCE CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE: LEO
Three days ago…I was the only one at home today because Austin was at work, and I couldn't visit Shane because they needed to run some tests on him and he wasn't allowed to receive visitors. This made me nervous, but the doctor assured me that it wasn't anything serious, and that it was just a routine test due to the mild concussion he suffered.And I couldn't call Athena because her plane should've already taken off, so I decided to watch the list of animes I'd missed because of school, but just as I was about to press play, my phone pinged, indicating that I had received a message.When I picked it up, I discovered that I had received a video message from an unknown number, which was unusual because I don't often give out my phone number to strangers. This made me hesitate for a moment because my mind wandered to Mikey, the owner of the Void, and whether or not he had found us, but I squashed that thought because I had hidden my tracks well enough that he, and no one else, could fin

Present day...It's been a while since Shane was hurt and hospitalized for a minor concussion as a result of the beating he received from Zack and his friends, and I got the video of them beating him up, but I still want to beat the shit out of them, regardless of their age.I still can't believe they'd do that to anyone. What could have made them so angry as to put Shane in such a state? I'm angry just thinking about it.No matter how many times Austin and Athena have told me that the accident wasn't my fault and that I shouldn't blame myself, I can't help but wonder and make up reasons why it was my fault he got hurt, and how if I had protected him better, none of this would've happened.Because Athena was in New York for a family event, Austin and I didn't really have a reason to go to school, so we hung out with Shane most of the time and when visiting time was over, we would go play basketball at the park until we were exhausted, then have dinner and go to bed.It took some convin

"So what's it going to be Ma, because I know you don't want to make this issue bigger than it already is" Athena said as she held on to Shane's hand while Austin stood beside him and I was being while we watched her waiting for her reply"Okay then let's go to my office, since Shane is so keen on having you here,'' The principal said, as she took us into the school and guided us to her office. When we got there, Austin, Athena and Shane took a seat on the only couch while Mr Sanders and I took a seat on the twin chairs in front of the principal's table. Zack thought it was a good idea to sit beside Shane and the guys but Austin didn't even give him a chance to get close because the look he gave Zack made him back away from Shane looking scared before he took the seat behind his father."So Mr Smith before you arrived Zack was telling us what really happened that day, he said Shane was the one who started the fight and he and his friends were just protecting himself" the principal expl

After arriving at Rudy's, Athena went to greet the guys at the counter, and Austin, Shane, and I went to sit in the booth at the far end of the diner, where Athena joined us a few minutes later with a smile."How was your visit to New York, Athena?" Austin asked, and her smile faded. Austin turned to me, and we immediately knew something was wrong; she doesn't know how to hide her emotions or control her facial expressions, making her quite easy to read."I've been racking my brain trying to figure out if telling you guys was a good idea," Athena said, a frustrated sigh leaving her lips as she stared at the three of us, okay with what she just said now, she was starting to scare me, what could've happened?"Athena, you know you can tell us anything, we're here for you, so please tell us what happened in New York?" I said, and her gaze shifted to Shane."It's not a good story, and some parts of it aren't kid-friendly," Athena said as she turned to face Shane, who looked just as concerne

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,."

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
