Chapter Twenty Seven.
ACE
I 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 PSYCHO Chapter Thirty. ISABELLA Then the sound of the door clicking open.Oh god!I was done for. I watched as he casually strode inside the bathroom, and made his way towards the shower stand, he had not sighted me from my spot, where I stood flattened against the wall. I considered making a quick dash for the door , but what would I do about Grey who was currently waiting for him inside the room? I would still be discovered in which ever way. I watched with wide eyes as he pulled his T-shirt over his head and allowed it to fall down in a heap on the ground. The lump in my throat grew thicker and tighter as my eyes wandered freely over the well defined muscles of his chest and abs. My mouth hung open, i couldn't stop gawking like a creep, he definitely had the bodily sexiness of my "book boyfriends " The sound of his zipper ripping open snapped me ou
MY BULLY IS PSYCHO Chapter Thirty One ISABELLA Mom and Mrs. King chose that moment to burst inside the bathroom, their widened gaze fell on us. Ace's hand was still pressed against my shoulders, he still held me flattened against the wall, both our bodies soaked wet. "What is going on here? Isabella we heard your voice are you alright? " mom asked "oh my! " his mom gasped aloud. I met Ace's gaze and disappointment welled deep inside of me, this was the closest we've ever been on an emotional level. His gaze that had been so deep with all the emotions he felt were now in a blank mask. He abruptly lets go of me, we both stepped out of the shower area as I tried to hide my shivering from the cold. I followed mom back to the bedroom,"his bedroom ", moments after I was draped in a thick blanket, I guess I couldn't hide my trembling well enough. I looked around for Grey, half surprised that he was nowh
MY BULLY IS PSYCHOChapter Thirty TwoACE**The moment I heard the door shut closed, I entered into my the bathroom for the shower I had initially planned for.My insides were in a mess, spiraling out of control , I feel as though I would break apart , so many emotions overwhelmed me, but the predominant of them all wasMisery.And the voice in my head just wouldn't stop, it kept replaying all over again making my insides churn with grief.' I miss him, he would never hurt me 'Why did those wide pools had to seem so sad, so hopeful and though she could pull "Him " out of me?' She wouldn't want you to despise yourself either, she loved you the most, you know that Ace 'How badly want to believe those words.A strangled sound escaped my throat as I tried in vain to push the clogging emotions to wherever
MY BULLY IS PSYCHOChapter Thirty ThreeISABELLA.I ran the brush furiously over my unruly hair, there were only a few minutes left for school.From my reflection in the mirror, the dark circles under my eyes glared at me, a solid reminder of the last few nights.In these past two days, I've had the worse sleep of my entire life. I dragged in a long deep breath to ease the nervousness squeezing inside of me, he hadn't been in school for the past week, perhaps he won't show up this week either? Or maybe till the end of the term.Could I be Hopeful?The memory of his lips mere inches away from mine was still vivid in my head, although I was shivering with cold at that time, I couldn't forget the feel of the both of us so close, and him wearing nothing but his underwear, had there been no interruption, would he have kissed me? And why had I wanted him to? I must have been out of my mind.Sure he had the hotne
MY BULLY IS PSYCHOChapter Thirty FourISABELLA.The rest of my words were stolen when his lips slammed against mine.A ticking second went past...Then another.It couldn't be happening.Ace wasn't kissing me in front of the whole school!His fingers sank into my hair pulling us even closer until our bodies were completely flattened against each other, his teeth clamped on my bottom lips, just enough to enact a gasp from me.The moment he began to move his lips against mine, I felt as though the world was coming to an end, my entire body was a thundering mess, I couldn't breathe, I also couldn't move to push him away either.His arms were wrapped around my shoulder and waist as he kept on devouring whatever oxygen I had in my lungs.Slowly, he pulled away, my gaze locked with those stormy silvery pair.The arms wrapped around me eased a bit and I took a staggering step backward, inhaling raggedly for
MY BULLY IS PSYCHOCHAPTER THIRTY FIVEACE.' But you already lost that little girl Ace, I already died a long time ago .'Although her voice sounded no more than a faint whisper, the effect of it was like a million knives slashed across my heart.Regret was like a bitter seed growing up inside of me, although she had not said it, I knew it could only have been me.I had been the one who drove the knife of hate straight into the heart of my childhood best friend, but she had always looked so carefree, so optimistic and joyous, I had always assumed it was just me that was left to wallow in grief and loneliness after my sister's death.The anguish in those crystalline pools that threatened tears amounted to the heaviness that settled in my heart.I wanted to say so many things to her, I wanted to apologize for everything, but the words were stuck in my throat.Of what use would it be?A simple apology would never
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
