MY BULLY IS PSYCHO
CHAPTER FIFTY FIVE
ISABELLA
His expression was hard as granite, now that he was staring at me, all the words I had planned that I would say to him died in my throat.
He began to turn away when I found my voice and at the same time unconsciously tightening my fingers around his arm."Don't go." I whispered.
His grey eyes seemed darker and duller than usual, I wondered how tough the night must have been for him even though he would never allow himself to show the slightest weakness, I wondered why he had even bothered with coming to school today.
"Yes I didn't tell you, that was because I was afraid of you getting hurt, I thought I would wait until the surgery has gone successful before I tell you "
A sound strangled out of my throat when he gripped my shoulders so tightly, his granite gaze lowering to mine.
"And what if he doesn't make it?
MY BULLY IS PSYCHOCHAPTER FIFTY SIXISABELLA."Are you even listening? " I jolted a little at the sound of Olivia's voice as well as her light tap on my shoulders."What? ""Your name has been mentioned, where are you lost? ""What? " I repeated dumbly.We were to go search for mushrooms, note down their types and uses, at least that was what I thought she had said earlier."You, Ace, Jaxon, and um...." Her expression fell slightlyMy gaze widened slightly, I was paired with Ace? My heart rate piqued up, this might allow me to clear up things between us.He had not given me a chance to explain anything this morning, and I had also been too nervous to approach him again after that, but now if we were going to work together..."What's with that expression? " I spoke, regarding her sullen expression.I followed
MY BULLY IS PSYCHOCHAPTER FIFTY SEVENISABELLA**"Let me down! " The yelp left my mouth, my eyes widened in fright at his furious pace.I only got a word out of his gruff voice."No""No? " I repeated, wrapping my arms around his neck when he seemed to increase his pace if anything.After what seemed like forever he finally let go as he dumped me so I landed on my butt on the ground."Ow that hurts !..what are you doing? " I glared up at him as I scrambled to my feet, taking a step backward from him, I began to dust my jeans that were stained with mud and twigs from the slightly wet soil."I should be asking you that, What the hell was that about?!" He glared back, breathing heavily.I crossed both arms, as I stared up at him, he did seem really angry, deciding to play naive, I gave him my best innocent look."I don't k
MY BULLY IS PSYCHOCHAPTER FIFTY EIGHTISABELLA"You still care about him, don't you? " I whispered, there was a flicker in his gaze but he didn't look away."I don't want him to die." He murmured under his breath.I nodded in understanding, clasping his hand tightly in mine."He won't, there's still so many things to settle between the two of you, your dad won't die so easily " I smiled shakily, his gaze was clouded with doubt, I could tell he wanted to believe my words so badly, I wished I could say more to convince him, if not for anything, but to remove the worry and the hint of sadness in his beautiful eyes.We stood in comfortable silence, my gaze scanned around us when I suddenly realized how much time the both of us has spent alone in this place, the others were probably done with their task by now while we have both been here discussing.
MY BULLY IS PSYCHOCHAPTER FIFTY NINEACE.**Pacing nervously around the waiting room, it seemed like hours before the doctor walked outside, wearing a tired expression, in two hurried strides, I met him halfway."How is she? Is she awake? I need to see her!"He stared at me for a moment and looked behind me."Are you her family member?"What did being her family member had to do with my question and having to see her? Anxiety and fear pummeling inside of me were draining out the last bit of patience I had left."I'm her boyfriend!""I'm sorry, you can't go on, and I can't relay any information to you...." No sooner had the words left his mouth, my fingers groped his shirt, backing him against the nearest wall."Tell me! How is she?""If you don't behave, I'll have no choice but to call the security "His wo
MY BULLY IS PSYCHOCHAPTER SIXTYACE.**Her eyes grew wide as she continued sobbing aloud, much to my irritation, if she could try to kill Isabel, why was she afraid to die?"Ace please, believe me, I really didn't think it would be so bad, I was wrong! I was wrong.""What are you doing! " A voice yelled from behind us, followed by hasty footsteps, from the corner of my eyes, I saw we have been surrounded by students, most had their cellphones in front of them, probably recording, it was Grey who raced towards me."Stop it, let her go, the fuck are you doing Have you completely lost it!" He yelled, jerking my shoulders, trying to pull us back from the very edge of the roof."The fuck am I doing? This bitch is getting what she deserves, she caused my Isabel to be in that condition, don't you think she should suffer the same? " I spat furiously.His gaze showed initial surprise before it was replaced by a calm expressio
MY BULLY IS PSYCHOCHAPTER SIXTY ONE**ISABELLAMy eyes pricked with a stinging sensation. Why was it so bright?For a moment, I couldn't make out anything in front of me.The unmistakably smell of antiseptics flooded my nostrils.Was I in a hospital?I blinked twice and could see more clearly, It indeed was a hospital, how did I get here?I tried to sit up and hissed at the splitting pain in the back of my head.What in god's name happened to me? I raised a trembling finger to my head to find it bandaged.The last thing I remembered was..."Miss, You are awake, how do you feel ?" A soothing feminine voice cuts into my thoughts.I stared at the nurse mutely for a moment.I wanted to ask what happened to me and where was my mom, but it came out raspy, my throat felt dry and scratchy.She helped me to a si
MY BULLY IS PSYCHOCHAPTER SIXTY THREEISABELLA."Ace did what ?" I echoed, gripping my cellphone tighter , unable to hide the shock I felt .If Olivia could hear my panic from the other end , her next words surely gave no indication."I wished you had seen how worried and panicked he was ...He would have killed that bitch to exert revenge for you ! I was so jealous. I want my boyfriend to be exactly just like him !" I could imagine her dreamy expression as she gushed out those words breathlessly. My mouth remained hung open , I still couldn't get her words over my head.Trying to kill someone wasn't anything to be jealous about, she has lost it for sure! What if he had done it and landed himself in jail ? No .No. I refused to let myself think about it , I could only be grateful that he hadn't done it .When he had explained to me about my accident , he hadn't mentioned anything about trying to commit murder ."Yo
MY BULLY IS PSYCHOCHAPTER SIXTY THREEISABELLAMom left us alone in the room , but not before I swallowed my medicines, right under their watchful gazesI ignored Ace's presence , not even when he tried to speak to me a few times.He stood beside my bed , silently watching as I made myself comfortable under the covers, I caught sight of his brows deepening in a scowl just before I turned my back on him ."What are you trying to do?"Without bothering to open my eyes , I faked yawned ."What does it look like ? I'm off to sleep , I need plenty of rest remember? You can leave whenever you want to " I bit out grudgingly."What if I say I'm never going to leave and want to sleep here with you instead ? "My eyes flew opened when I felt my bed sink to accommodate his weight, I turned around almost immediately to have my head almost bumping against his.I went perfectly still when he straightened down to lie down just bes
MY BULLY IS A PSYCHO EPILOGUE. * *ACE Six weeks later "Ace! What are you doing here? "She cried in a hushed tone, then snapped a hand over her mouth as though she had just realized how late in the night it was.Her eyes were wide in as she stared at her open window through which I had entered. It wasn't the first time, I still wonder how I manage to catch her by surprise each time. "I'm here to see you " I stated the obvious. " But you said goodbye to me some hours ago, with this habit of yours, you should really become a thief. ""I already am, I stole your heart remember?" She rolled her eyes at my statement and a mischievous smirk spread across my face as I plunged and relax on the softness of her bed.She closed the windows and started to approach me. She was quite a sight with her glossy brown hair scattered all over the place, her toes peeking out through the thin fabric of the satin pajamas she wore.
MY BULLY IS PSYCHOCHAPTER SEVENTY ONEISABELLA**It was quiet and completely dark when we entered inside, I heard the sound of the switch clicking, then the bright lights were turned on. My eyes could finally locate Ace, after a quick dinner at a fancy restaurant and driving around town for the past three hours, we were here at his place. I remembered when his mom had left my house earlier, she had that she somewhere to be, I had just assumed she had returned home. "The lights are off, I think your mom might have gone to bed " I whispered, just in case she had gone to bed, I didn't want to make any noises that would disturb her, I doubt I would though, considering how huge the entire house was. "She isn't home...She's spending the night at the hospital with dad " Ace spoke, seeming as though he added the last part of his statement after giving it second thought. It all but indicated that even though he didn't talk abo
MY BULLY IS PSYCHOCHAPTER SEVENTYISABELLA.**"H..how is this p..possible?" I stuttered in stunned disbelief but got no response, except Ace's soft chuckle. The papers in my hands were saying that some Isabella Joanna Morison has been given a scholarship to study fine arts at their university. It couldn't possibly be me, first off, I hadn't even submitted my applications there. "But I never sent my applications there, and there's also no way I could have been given a scholarship at that!." I blurted, raising my doubtful expression to Ace, and then room who spoke the next moment. " You didn't apply, someone else did it for you "At her words, my gaze flew in Ace's direction to meet his stare. Several thoughts were rampaging through my mind at this moment, this had been the reason why his mom had mentioned us leaving town for college? I had thought she had been mistaken about it. Olivia had also mentioned to me earlier t
MY BULLY IS PSYCHOCHAPTER SIXTY NINEISABELLA**"Happy birthday to you....!""Happy birthday to you...!" She chanted loud and continuously until I had no choice but to shut my ears closed with my palms."Your singing is really horrible! You should never dream of becoming a singer in the future "That was enough to shut her up and I was met with her glower. Ignoring the scowl on her face, I snatched the gift box in her hands, since it was meant for me, why wasn't she giving it to me straight away?"You have to take it easy! You'll ruin such a beautiful wrap... " She gave up when she saw that I had already recklessly torn through the small wrapped box she had handed to me. The once beautiful ribbons were now lying in a messy state on the living room floor, and also on the couch on which the both of us sat.I opened the small box to see a pair of beautiful white pearl earrings
MY BULLY IS PSYCHOCHAPTER SIXTY EIGHTISABELLA**"Feeling better?" His voice broke into my thoughts. I nodded, turning my head from the window to look at him, flashing him a brief smile."We are here " He muttered under his breath as he steadily pulled the car to a stop just behind the local bookshop as I had told him earlier that I wanted to buy some books. The lady inside greeted us with a broad smile as we stepped inside.I walked around each shelf for at least five minutes, I couldn't decide on which book to buy, my savings were limited, I haven't bought a birthday gift for Ace yet.A quiet sigh left my mouth as I eyed the books greedily.Is there a way I could take the entire shelves back home with me..... without having to pay for it?. I guess the lady out there would have something to say about that.Lost in my thoughts, I was barely aware of Ace standing behind me until his voice sounded dangero
MY BULLY IS PSYCHOCHAPTER SIXTY SEVENISABELLA.I was staring into Ace's grey eyes. He inched closer towards me, the hand on my shoulders continued resting in the same position .I slowly straightened to a sitting position, dragging my knees upward to rest under my chin.How he appeared here in front of me almost seemed miraculous, I had declined his call earlier, but still , he was the person I wanted close to me at this very moment ."How did you get here ? Just now , weren't you ..." My words trailed off as my eyes darted to the phone I had turned off which was still lying carelessly on my bed ."You didn't respond , then you turned off your phone , of course, I had to come or what do you think? " His gaze was unreadable, but since he didn't ask me the reason I refused his calls, I could only assume that he already knew everythingI swallowed hard and averted my gaze from his deep compelling
MY BULLY IS PSYCHOCHAPTER SIXTY SIXISABELLA.**Mom and Liz wouldn't give up with the decoration plan, their talks about what to buy and what not to were beginning to make my head spin. Olivia wouldn't stop texting me about dresses and shoes she found online, I guess I was the only one who wasn't really excited about my birthday which was coming up the day after tomorrow. I've been so stressed out in these past few days, I especially had never felt sixty years older as I did today. I haven't gotten a gift for Ace since we coincidentally share the same date, I figured that I could do that tomorrow.I was too tensed to do anything today, except waiting ....And waiting ....And more waiting.Our final exams had come and gone by in a blur, Olivia received her admission letter from the college she had applied for some days ago, just as I knew she would.The local college had been approved my application, I didn't accept it yet becau
MY BULLY IS PSYCHO CHAPTER SIXTY FIVE ISABELLA School was kind of different in the next few days, and I would say that it got a whole lot better. I could surely get used to not having my path blocked each time, it was also nice not having to look behind my shoulders each time.It came as quite a shock when Hailey had approached me earlier today, apologizing for all the troubles she had caused me, she had blamed everything on Miranda and had seemed quite sincere in wanting to become friends with me. I hadn't been sure of what to tell her, Olivia had been the one who took matters into her hands by telling her off. I searched around for Ace with my gaze, but he was nowhere around to be seen, I took the space beside Olivia quietly.The last week had been very tough for him, with his dad's surgical operation. I could still remember the look of absolute worry in the gaze in those long seventy two hours before the doctor had com
MY BULLY IS PSYCHOCHAPTER SIXTY FOURISABELLAI gasped slightly at his warm touch on the small of my back, my eyes fluttered close when he brushed a soft kiss on my neck, sending a fluttery jolt to my stomach.I couldn't help but think that he had never touched me this way before."I love you Isabel " He whispered in between kisses that snatched the breath out of me. It felt surreal, it was magical, a delicious dream I didn't ever want to wake up from.Maybe it was his seductive voice as he said those words, or perhaps the gentle way his fingers worked on my skin, the only thing I was sure of was that I was long gone. I was a bunch of nervous mess inside I sure as hell didn't know what I was doing when I allowed my palms to caress the taut skin of his chest, the only thing I could be sure of was that, I didn't want this to stop, I needed this as badly as I needed my next breath.He pulled away, but it was only for a moment as his s
