I clenched my jaw when I saw a couple of people walking by, glancing my way. What the fuck is their problem? Can’t they just mind their own fucking business?
“Marks?” Jason repeated.
He sounded still surprised.
“Are you dumb now? What’s with the one word questions?” I shouted in anger but ended up whispering when the lady behind the counter glared at me pointedly.
“Why are you whispering?” Jason asked in curiosity.
“Shut the fuck up! I’m at the hospital right now. The doctor checked her body. She has m-marks at her intimate parts. I think that she might have been r-raped, bro. That’s why she tried to commit suicide.” I gritted my teeth together.
“But, the doctor here did not find anything. He might have missed it.” Jason replied sounding deep in thought.
“Fuck! -”

“Can they still see us or did we become invisible?” I heard someone whisper behind Ryder.It was not really a whisper. It sounded like he was making sure Ryder hears him. I remembered him. It was one of the guys who burst inside Ryder’s bedroom this morning.“I don’t know about Ryder but Lea can see us pretty well.” Someone else muttered. I looked towards the voice and saw one of the girls staring at me. I tried to look away but stilled when she smiled at me.It’s been so long since someone smiled at me so warmly.The last time I remember seeing such a smile was when my mother was still living with me and my father. A memory of my mother’s smile flashed into my mind. I squeezed my eyes tightly shut as I clenched my jaw in anger. The image that once warmed my heart with love now only haunted and taunted me. If she really had to leave me, what was the point of showing me what love was and what the feeling of l

Ryder’s point of view:Lea shyly tucked her hair behind her right ear and glanced over my shoulders.The action exposed more of her face to us.A faint scar behind her right ear caught my eyes. From the way it was angled, it was surely done with a small sharp knife or some small pointy thing. It looked like she was attacked from behind.Must be her fucking father!I followed the length of it with narrowed eyes. The line disappeared down her neckline, under her shirt.If I wasn’t so close to her, I would have missed it.She withdrew her trembling hands onto her lap.She was griping the bed sheets tightly.“H-Hi” she stuttered out and quickly glanced down at her hands.She kept fidgeting her fingers together.“Stop doing that, you’ll hurt yourself.” I told her but she ended up flinching away from me.Was I too harsh? Before I could apologize fo

I slowed down once I reached the hospital forty minutes later and swerved the steering wheel to the right to turn the corner.The ride from my place to the hospital usually took forty minutes. I made that journey in ten minutes when I drove Lea to the hospital earlier. It sounded insane to even think about it later on.I panicked upon seeing the state she was in. The adrenaline rushing through my veins at that time made me rush to the hospital but thankfully, the roads at night here were not as busy as during the day.After parking the car back to the same spot as before, we got out. The spot was strangely still available.I grabbed the bag which contained everything Lea would need during her stay at the hospital.I handed Jake the hot soup before locking my car.Jake had been quiet during the ride back to my home and back to the hospital. I kept pestering him to tell me about what the guys were hiding from me but he wouldn’t bulge.
My Damn Salvation Chapter 45
Lea’s point of view: A week passed by quicker than I had anticipated. I was reluctant to stay here. I wanted to go home but then I realized that I did not have any home. Ryder’s place was just my temporary home. I couldn’t ask him to take me home. It was getting awkward to even face him. Even though I stayed with him, no communication was as smooth as butter with him. I couldn’t bring myself to speak to him like I would to Jason. I felt my tongue tightened at the sight of Ryder. His strong dominating and determined aura whenever he walked into a room intimidated me. He appeared powerful and confident. Ryder and Shelly visited me every morning and evening during this one week. Shelly would usually drop by during her visits at the hospital. Her boyfriend, Max had injured himself in a fight two weeks back but he was getting better. Ryder brought me different soups every day while Shelly fed me. The first time she
My Damn Salvation Chapter 46
Lea's point of view:Both Aubrey and Shelly would go through all the events that occurred during their days at school every evening and I would listen to them. Their days at school were never uneventful with the guys. The guys were always creating some troubles to piss off the principal. I always listened to Shelly blabbering about her boyfriend, Max and the rest of the guys.Aubrey would crack some jokes in the middle of their chatter which would halt Shelly in her ramble but they would always laugh it out. Aubrey seemed nice too.Their soft voices made me realize that I was here, alive and free and away from my cruel father. They managed to get closer to me than I thought they would.There were only two times that Ryder did not visit me but he did sent the soup with Jake. Shelly had told me that Ryder was busy with something but the next day when he dropped by, he was alone and he had a busted lip which seemed fresh but healing.
My Damn Salvation Chapter 47
Lea's point of view:Aubrey gave me a ride to Ryder’s place.After helping me inside the house, she had returned back to the hospital to visit Max. Shelly had stayed behind to spend some time with her boyfriend.Aubrey surprisingly had Ryder’s house keys with her.I made sure to close the front door after she left. It was already dark outside when she left. I was scared to look outside the windows in the living room. I had yet to get used to my surroundings and even though I had stayed in Ryder’s place just a week before, I was still getting used to the place.Aubrey had told me that Ryder would not be returning back home anytime soon. He had to head over to some place.The first thing I did was take a much needed shower.Since I was not aware of what time Ryder would return back, I did not take much time.The moment I got out of the bathroom, I shivered due to cold breeze blowing in from the

Lea’s point of view:I got the feeling like I was being watched. I could feel his gaze on my back. He was waiting for me.Just turn around, Lea! I chided.I furiously wiped my cheeks to get rid of those tears. I sniffed and gulped as I willed myself to stop crying.I courageously turned and found him already sitting with his arms crossed over his chest. He was staring at me with a blank look on his face. The courage I felt earlier dissipated like a puddle of water.That blank look can be anything. He was just masking his emotion with that look. I could not make out what he was feeling at that moment.Was it anger, disdain, curiosity or suspicion? Wait, what? Why will he feel suspicious of me? I was going insane with all those stress. I needed to get rid of my anxiety. I needed to push that feeling out of my mind before it could have complete control over my entire body.I needed to forget and push it deep into o

Lea’s point of view:“You can talk to me when you are ready.” He added with a wink.A smile crawled its way up my face. I couldn’t stop that smile from making an appearance. I nodded with a smile.His eyes widened for a split second before shifting back to that signature smirk of his. I could have sworn that I saw his posture going stiff before starting to relax again. His eyes were fixed on my face.I would have missed it if I was not already staring at him.I slowly rubbed my arms when I felt goose bumps erupting on my exposed skin.Ryder’s gaze shifted down at my arms before looking back at me.“Come with me.” He said while standing up.“Where?” I asked and stood up too.“Upstairs.” He simply said as he stretched his arms out wide and groaned.“Tired from school?” I questioned.Whenever I opened my mouth to say

Lea’s point of view:After I wore the knee-length black dress Aubrey and Shelly chose for me, I applied some light make-up.I let my hair down, wore my high-heels and walked out before locking my bedroom door.I squeezed my eyes shut for a second when I got out. The music was overwhelmingly deafening.The music was muffled while I was in the room with the closed door but now, it was time to face the real deal, my first high-school party which was organized by Greg, Shelly’s friend but it was being held at Ryder’s place due to some housing issues at Greg’s house.Wondering whether Ryder was still in his room, I peeked through his slightly ajar door to notice some movement. I smiled and sauntered inside as if I owned the place.I was greeted with his signature smirk and shirtless figure, and like always, my heart raced. It still got to me every time he would cast me a simple look.His eyes

Lea’s point of view:The racetrack area was all hustle and bustle. When Ryder told me about his illegal racing matches, I was repugnant. I couldn’t accept that he was into such dangerous and violent sports but seeing his passion for it, I grew a liking for it too.The moment Ryder left to go get ready for his race along with the guys; I leaned against Jake’s car beside Aubrey and Shelly.I crossed my arms over my chest before sighing.Thinking back to this past week, I smiled when I thought of my mother. We spent some quality time together, cooking, watching movies and even listening to bedtime stories like we used to do back in the days.My mom was actually quite pleased with my decision of making her stay here. She thought that it was best to start anew in this new town as she did not want to go back to the bitter memories she had made with her husband in the past.She also was not as anxious as she origi

Lea’s point of view:“- I was so relieved when I saw the police paramedics rush in to get me out of that room -”“I’m so sorry, mom.” I choked back my tears and wrapped my arms around her.A minute of silence passed by before she pulled me close to her chest and kissed my temple lovingly the way she would always do back in the days.She swept the tears rolling down my cheeks and shook her head slowly.“I’m sorry for leaving you, Lea. I should have never left you alone with him. I’m the one who should apologize.”“No, mom… I always hoped that you would come back to get me but I killed that hope when you never returned like you had promised… I should have never stopped hoping -”“You never stopped hoping, Lea and this -” She lifted her chain off my chest and smiled, deep in thought. “- right here, proves it.” Sh

Lea’s point of view: The moment Ryder drove into his driveway, he slowed down when we noticed Jason’s police jeep parked right in front of the house and a woman sitting down on the front steps of the patio. I frowned faintly in confusion when I got out of Ryder’s car and glanced at Ryder to find his eyebrows furrowed deep in confusion too. I guessed Jason did not inform Ryder about him coming over to his place at this time of the day. I squinted to get a better view of the woman who had her hair covering the side of her face when she abruptly glanced up in my direction. My eyes widened in disbelief as I quickly took in a short and quick breath through my mouth in bewilderment. Different kind of emotions hit me at once, stopping me in my tracks when I recognized the woman whose eyes welled up with tears the second she saw me staring at her. “Mom?” I whispered in a gasping manner. I hesitantly stepped back when s

Lea’s point of view:“You three… Detention!” The principal’s order from earlier flashed into my mind when I walked down the hallway towards the detention room.Jake had humphed childishly and Connor had slumped defeatedly in his seat while I had simply gulped down nervously when the principal’s angry gaze trailed over us from behind his table.When we had left his office, Connor shifted uncomfortably while scratching his chest which had patches of dried up food.“I badly need a shower.” Connor had said before making his way towards the gym.“This taste good… I wonder what sauce this is.” I had almost gagged when Jake had licked his index finger.I got yanked back when I was about to push open the detention door.I squeezed my eyes shut and opened my mouth to scream bloody murder when someone covered my mouth, muffling my scream.I jumped slight
My Damn Salvation Chapter 105
Lea’s point of view:I gasped in horror when the cup of hot coffee accidentally flew out of Jake’s hands and exploded right on Connor’s head.Connor screwed up his face and shot out of his seat while yelping in pain as he tried shaking the hot coffee off his head and stopping it from sliding down his neck and body. “You fucking stupid – Shit, damn it!” Connor yelled and seized Jake’s collar angrily but ended up pushing him away from him.I squeezed my eyes shut before glancing away when he unexpectedly took off his shirt.I heard the girls having lunch from around our table squealed in delight before giggling and whispering among themselves.I cried out in surprise when I felt myself being lifted up from my chair and then everything went upside down.I opened my eyes to find myself slung upside down over Ryder’s right shoulder.I held myself up by pressing
My Damn Salvation Chapter 104
Ryder’s point of view:I picked the birthday gifts Lea received from the girls and the guys after they left for the night. It was already nearing two o’clock in the morning yet I did not feel like calling it a night.I slowly opened Lea’s bedroom door to keep her gifts on her study table. Teddy’s ears perked up in alert when he heard me entering the room but he went back to his nap when he saw me.I glanced at Lea to find her already in a deep slumber.After leaving the gifts on her table, I quietly tiptoed out of the room but the cold wind blowing through the opened windows stopped me halfway.I walked towards Lea’s sleeping figure after shutting the windows and closing the curtains.I lifted the comforters and covered her shoulders well when she shivered in cold. She immediately caught onto the edge of the comforter, fisted her hands tightly onto the soft sheets before turning to the right whi
My Damn Salvation Chapter 103
Lea’s point of view: I glanced at Ryder with a frown when he parked the car on an unfamiliar street which was still bustling with people. It was already nine o’clock and we were still far from home. It seemed like in this town, a completely different atmosphere reigns at night, yet I realized later on that the busy street never slept until later at night when we ended up spending two whole hours there. There was always going and coming of people, police cars patrolling the area and the restaurants and street snacks vendors remained open till late at night. I sighed in delight when a delicious smell of food wafted in the air as we neared a food truck selling Mexican tacos which tasted amazingly luscious. We couldn’t stop ourselves from eating a late night dinner when we tasted those tacos. It was already nearing midnight when we reached home. I was sleepy but I did not show it when Ryder pulled me into the kitchen and o

Lea’s point of view: “Ryder, stop!” I seized his right arm to stop him from advancing towards the boy. I thought the boy would return back to his place behind us quietly seeing Ryder’s death glare but he did something unexpected. He leaned forward towards me and draped an arm presumptuously over my shoulders to taunt Ryder. Right when Ryder took a threatening step towards him in anger, I pushed my two plushies into Ryder’s arms, halting him and grasped the boy’s hand and threw his arm off my shoulders. “In your dreams, buddy.” Ryder smirked in pride and crossed his arms over his chest and the two plushies to watch the scene being unfolded when I gave him a I-got-this look when I remembered some self-defense techniques Aubrey taught me. I raised an eyebrow when the boy shrugged his shoulders at me. He appeared unaffected by the insult. “You’ll definitely be in my dreams tonight, naked.” He smirked smugly and poi
