My Bully is Psycho
CHAPTER TWENTY ONE
ISABELLA.
The tight feeling returned to settle in the pit of my stomach the moment mom's car drove off.
The endless chatter from students followed me into the hallway, they were talking about all the fun they had during the weekend. I wished I could say the same about myself, it was one of the worst ever, mom didn't even allow me to pay a visit to Olivia. Every second I had to be studying a book in front of her watchful eyes, well thanks to that, all my assignments and projects were done and completed, now I just couldn't wait to "wow" all the teachers. The moment I stepped into class, I made my way towards Olivia who had reserved a spot for me."Hey did you hear? " she rushed out as soon as I took a seat.
"What do you mean? " I asked , as I arranged my books in front of my desk, I wasn't too keen
My Bully is PsychoChapter twenty twoACE.I knew I was going to regret it from the moment I stepped in on them, I never should have seen her struggling against Miranda and Hailey, they appeared to be having they fun time toying with her while she was fighting in the verge of tears.I should have just walked passed or even give them an applause for torturing the most hateful person I've ever known.Only I didn't.And I sure am regretting it now as my lips pressed against her baby pink ones.What the hell compelled me to kiss her?And why wasn't I shoving her away even after realizing my mistake?She went totally stiff against me, I didn't move either . It couldn't really be called a kiss because my lips were just pressed against hers and was unmoving.My shirt was clenched in her fist, probably to push me away, but she didn't, after a
My bully is PsychoChapter twenty threeISABELLAMy alarm bell sounded and I quickly snapped it shut with a swipe of my hand , it wasn't as though I got a wink of sleep last night, each time I closed my eyes, those forbidden scenes from yesterday just kept replaying itself in my head.I tried countless times to convince myself that it hadn't been real, Ace couldn't have kissed me, it had all happened In my head but the fact that I had agreed to be his puppet couldn't have also been fake.My nerves thrummed nervously, my heart gave wild kicks each time the memories of those intense metallic gaze kicked in.The way his lips had felt against min...Stop it! I screamed at my inward self.I refused to think more about it or I might just lose whatever sanity I had left.I also couldn't forget the way he had further insulted me,
My Bully is PsychoChapter Twenty FourISABELLAI stared in a state of paralysed shock , Nothing in the world could have ever prepared me for this moment.I squinted my gaze as though it would eliminate the the sight in front of me or make it less real even .Ace!What was he doing here in my house!His gaze slowly traveled through my unruly hair that I had been so sluggish to take care of earlier.Those metallic laser like gaze took a slow detailed glance at me . It made me conscious of the fact that I was clad only in an oversized old shirt and a pair of shorts.My bare legs squirmed under his long fixed stare .The silence between us became unbearable, the tension rolling off it could basically be seared through with a knife."What are you doing here! My mom and sister is around! " I spo
My Bully is PsychoChapter Twenty FiveISABELLAMy thoughts scampered about when I saw a familiar gray box in his hands.My heart leaped hard against my throat.I couldn't let him see the contents inside.Without a thought, I sprinted towards him just before his fingers began to unlock it.That box contained everything...all he'd ever given me over our childhood days, I just hadn't been able to let go of it, I hadn't been able to let go of those good memories, I knew I was still living in the past, but it wasn't as though the present retained any pleasant things for me.The last time Liz had spilled its contents, I had been careless to store it inside my drawer without locking it up, but who would have thought Ace Jacob King would pay a visit to my house?"Don't touch it!" I cried, jerking it away from his hands."Haven't you heard about privacy! You can't just barge in here and do things
My Bully is PsychoChapter Twenty-SixISABELLAI didn't go downstairs for dinner, I had to lie again to mom about being sick and weak, she allowed me to take dinner up to my room, not that I could stomach down anything, not with the heaviness that settled like tons of bricks in my stomachDepression. Sadness grief.These were the emotions that could describe the way I felt ever since Ace had stormed out of my room this afternoon.Currently, I lay beneath my bed covers but sleep wouldn't come, all his hateful words from the past years kept replaying in my head.He didn't hate me. Or at least not enough to fully hurt me.All those words had always cut like sharp knives to my heart, but pondering over it, he had never physically harmed me.Maybe because somewhere in his mind he still missed the old moments we shared just the way I do?I couldn't be certain my earlier word
My Bully is PsychoChapter Twenty Seven.ACEI dragged the door closed behind me with a loud bang.' You don't really hate me....'' You only need someone to share out your grief'The words kept blaring and tearing down the last of my sanity.It just wouldn't stop resonating in my head no matter how hard I try to quiet it."Shut up!!" I growled aloud to bring an end to it.She had been fucking wrong!I hated her more than anything she could ever imagine.' Then why haven't you really hurt me all these years ' her soft whisper taunted my mind.Harsh heavy pants escaped my expanded nostrils, I dug my nails tightly into my palms, threatening to pierce out blood.It was a minor distraction from the conflicted feelings which I didn't want to recognize, but it kept simmering in my veins.I needed something much stronger, I searched my drawer for a cigarette, a smoke was what I reall
My Bully Is PsychoChapter Twenty EightISABELLA**The next few days dragged by slowly, and soon enough, today was Friday.The fresh cool morning wind caressed my face and hair, I wrapped my arms around myself grateful for the warmth my long sleeved shirt provided.The moment I stepped into the crowded hallway, I searched my gaze around for someone in particular.Ace.It had been a complete week since that day he had left my house, since then I hadn't seen him, he had not come to school either.It shouldn't be any of my business, these were the exact words that I had kept telling myself these few days.Why should I be concerned about his whereabouts? but for some reason, I couldn't stop myself from thinking if it had anything to do with our last meeting or anything to do with me in particular.I couldn't bring myself to ask any of his popular friends either.I didn't want them to misundersta
MY BULLY IS PSYCHOChapter Twenty NineISABELLA"Hey, mom said I should ask if you are done preparing ?" Liz spoke as she made her way inside my room, I looked up from my table of assignment, she plunged herself to get comfortable on my bed. She wall already dressed in a simple evening gown, her hair gathered in a pigtailAn unwilling sound escaped my mouth, it was a Saturday evening, one that I wished to spend on my own but mom appeared to have other plans.Earlier today, I had met her downstairs making a phone conversation with Mrs. King.She had invited mom over, and mom was insisting for me and Liz to come along with her.She had been overly excited by the prospect of meeting her college best friend all day her cheerful mood was quite the opposite of mine.I didn't want to go.Jordan had informed me that Ace was no longer in the house but I still couldn't risk it, I didn't want to find out how he would re
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
