Bad Boy's Protection Chapter 23
Chapter 23I had a lot of trouble sleeping last night. My mind just wouldn't shut off. It kept replaying many of the evens that happened and how I was almost assaulted again.Like before, I stayed in my room almost all day. That was until Mom told me that Grayson's family was coming over for dinner yet again, including his mom and his sister. So instead of staying in my pajamas, I had to get changed. I still never told my parents or Tony what happened, and I didn't know if I was going to.Mom called me downstairs, telling me that the Princes were here. I slowly got out of bed and went downstairs. As soon as I was downstairs, Grayson pulled me in a sudden hug -I didn't hesitate to hug him back, though."How are you?" he asked in a low voice."Tired," I replied, my voice as low. "I can't sleep." I hugged Grayson even tighter, feeling more comfortable than I had ever felt. I needed the comfort. Grayson didn't seem to mind how tight I was hugging him considering he kept hugging me."Poppy
Bad Boy's Protection Chapter 24
Chapter 24For the past week, my parents were treating me like some vulnerable little girl that couldn't take care of herself. They wouldn't let me go out anywhere and one of them had to be home with me at all times. And that was exactly why I didn't want them knowing about what happened.Even though Grayson told my parents so I could have both of them there for me, I hated the way they were treating me. I even tried telling them a few times to leave it alone because Ben didn't actually do anything, but they refused.At school, Belle hadn't shown up at all. I was, honestly, a bit worried about her. She found out that Ben was lying the whole time and she threw away our friendship for no reason. I wanted to talk to her but I didn't know what to say. But I did miss having her as my best friend, even if she acted really horrible to me at school and made everyone hate me. I couldn't blame her. She was trusting her brother.The school day finally ended and it was now the weekend. I was plan
Bad Boy's Protection Chapter 25
Chapter 25GraysonI was extremely confused when Poppy wasn't in the parking lot. I offered to drive her home and she told me she would wait in the parking lot. I didn't get it.Instead of wondering where she went, I texted her. I hoped she didn't get a ride from someone else. We were becoming so close again and I didn't want to lose it.After a minute or so, she messages me back. I read the message, mad at first that her dad picked her up, but then I reread the text. Something was up. She never used full sentences when she texted and she rarely capitalized the first letter. She was a lazy texter, so why was she taking her time with this?I reread it again and again until something popped out. The first letter of each word was capitalized, but the word 'I' wasn't. Then I looked at all the capitalized letters. H. E. L. P. M. E.…Help me. Crap! Poppy was in trouble! It must have been Dedrick! He knew Poppy was my weakness and now, he was getting my revenge. I needed to find out where th
Bad Boy's Protection Chapter 26
Chapter 26When Grayson dropped Belle and I off at my house, I was a bit curious to see what my parent's reaction would be when they see Belle. The last time she came to my house, or when my parents saw here, was before the first assault.Belle climbed out of Grayson's car and I got out afterwards.I was about to go to my house when Grayson said, "Poppy?" I turned towards him. "Any chance we can be together again?"I wanted to give him a sarcastic comment like, 'No, we never can even though I kissed you earlier and you told me that you love me.' However, I decided to kiss him on the cheek. "I'll see you later," I said before going to my house.Belle was waiting by the front door. "Quick question. Do you parents hate me for what Ben did?""No, of course not," I said as I opened the front door. "Mom?! Dad?! You won't mind if I have a friend spend the night, would you?!""Depends who," Mom said from the kitchen. She then walked in the living room, stopping when she saw Belle. "Belle. Lon
Bad Boy's Protection Chapter 27
Chapter 27While I was cooking breakfast for Belle and the lazy boy who was still sleeping, someone knocked on my front door. I was a bit confused since it was only nine in the morning and it was a Saturday. Who would come to my house this early? It couldn't have been my parents because they would have walked in instead of knock.I lowered the heat on the stove and walked to the front door. I looked through the peephole, relieved that it wasn't a mugger. At least she didn't look like a mugger. I opened the door and got a closer look at her. She had long blond hair and ocean blue eyes that reminded me of Grayson's. Then again, many things reminded me of Grayson."Hi," she said with a smile. "I'm Elliot Matlin. Is there a Grayson Prince here by any chance?"I nodded. "Yeah, I'll go get him. Just wait here." I closed the door before heading down to the basement. Grayson was still sleeping on the couch, so I shook him awake. "Grayson, someone is at the door to see you?"Though his eyes st
Bad Boy's Protection Chapter 28
Chapter 28GraysonI was a bit nervous when I walked into my house. What if my mom didn't believe me. What if Dad or Graeme interrupted and lied about what happened?"Grayson," Dad snapped when I walked inside. "I told you to babysit and you never came back home list night. I had to get your cousin to find you because you refuse to listen to anyone else.""Gee, I wonder why," I said sarcastically."I really hate your attitude," Dad said."And I really hate you," I shot back. Yeah, I know, it was a bit harsh but it was the truth."Grayson!" Mom exclaimed. "That was not appropriate!""Did anyone ever told you what happened the day you left?" I asked.The confused look in Mom's eyes told me that she didn't know. Of course not. Dad lied to the authorities. Nobody would have told Mom."It happened five years ago," Dad said. "You need to forgive and forget.""Excuse me?" I asked. "Forgive and forget? How the hell can I forget what happened?! How can I forgive you?!""Grayson," Mom said calm
Bad Boy's Protection Chapter 29
Chapter 29I was hoping Grayson would have called me to tell me how things went once he told his mom what his dad and brother almost did. He never did. I was getting a bit worried about him to be honest. I knew nothing bad could have happened but why wasn't he calling me?Mom and Dad returned home later in the afternoon. Belle was still at my house because we were catching up and going back to be best friends. I missed her being my best friend a lot and I was happy that we were able to both put the incident with Ben behind us."Poppy," Mom said, walking upstairs from the dining room. She was holding a cell phone in her hand. "Whose phone is this?"I grabbed it from her and looked at it. "Oh, that's why he wasn't calling!" I said to myself. I looked at my mom. "It's Grayson's phone. He must have left it here last night."Mom raised an eyebrow. "Grayson was here last night? I thought you only asked for Belle to sleepover.""It wasn't my fault," I said. "He invited himself in and refused
Bad Boy's Protection Chapter 30
Chapter 30Waiting for the news about Grayson is torture. Pure torture. The doctors wouldn't tell me anything about his wound, not even if it was fatal or not. They kept saying 'I don't care if your his girlfriend. We're mean and we're not telling you.' Okay, so maybe they didn't say that, but it felt like they did.Tony stayed with me the whole time, assuring me that everything was going to be fine. Even though he was my brother, I'd rather have a doctor tell me that Grayson was fine. I couldn't lose him.The police ended up coming to the hospital to inform me that Devon and Dedrick have been arrested and was going to be held for further investigation. I was so relieved to hear that.Finally, the doctor in charge of Grayson's condition walked over to me. "Would you like the bad news or good news first?" he asked me as I stood up from the waiting chair.Bad news? There was bad news? "Um, I'll have the good news first," I said. Please be okay, please be okay.The doctor smiled. "Grayso

Chapter 31Grayson was released from the hospital three days later. Evidence was found for the shooting so both Dedrick and Devon was put in jail. Since the shooting was intentional, Devon was tried as an adult. If only those two idiots knew that there was a camera from the café showing the alley because apparently, a lot of shady things happened there.Things were different at school. Since Belle was my friend again, the whole school didn't hate me anymore. It was weird to say the least.Word got around that Devon was involved in Grayson being shot and a lot of people were asking if he was okay. He hated the attention."How could you still get more points than me?!" I asked, staring dumbfounded at the TV screen."Talent," Grayson said with a smile. We were playing Call of Duty and were killing some zombies, yet Grayson scored way more points than me. His arm was in a sling, so he had to hold his control to the side, which was quite difficult in my opinion. "I told you I would score h
