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: My belly fluttered. I couldn’t help but swoon at his actions. I was deeply touched. “I-I can do it.” I tried to take the hair dryer from his hand but he shook his head and moved the hair dryer away from my reach. “No, you will hurt your wrists. You forgot what the doctor said?” he asked and raised an eyebrow questioningly at me. He focused back on drying my hair when I averted my eyes away from his firm gaze. I pulled my arms back by my sides and let Ryder blow dry my hair. The doctor told me that I should not apply pressure on my wrists for another week but they were getting better. I remember wincing in pain earlier when I was taking a shower. I tried squeezing some bathing gel out of its tube but successfully managed to get a little bit after multiple tries. “Here you go.” He turned the hair dryer off, removed its plug out of the sockets and pulled back to put it back insid

He must be craving for some ice-cream.I couldn’t help but giggle at the look on his face.The way his eyes lit up as he stared at me was enough to confirm that he really liked ice-cream. Maybe it was his favorite dessert? I thought.“Uh, about that… uh, let’s just go get some ice-cream.” He said sheepishly while rubbing the back of his neck.He sounded embarrassed.I swore that I caught a slight redness making a swift appearance on his cheeks.It disappeared before I could discern whether he was really blushing or not. It might have been my mind playing some tricks on me.“Okay.” I agreed to cut him some slacks.He was already unsettled. I shouldn’t be making him more uneasy.I bit my lower lip to stop the smile forcing its way out from showing up but I guess he noticed how I was trying to hold it in.“Come on now, do you really have to make it that obvious?&

“Come on, get on.” He glanced over his left shoulder before looking at me.“Hell no!” I exclaimed as I took a quick step back.I was no longer going to pretend that I was not afraid of this thing.He reached for me but I moved away.“Just get on, Lea.” He shouted over the engine sound.Should I? I thought as I bit my lower lip.“I’ll go slow.” He added but I couldn’t trust him.He seemed too fond of his motorcycle. I observed the way he relished in the revving of its engine just a few seconds ago.“Trust me.” He declared.I sighed, grabbed onto Ryder’s shoulders, and lifted my left leg a little bit to stand on the left peg before swinging my right leg over the motorcycle. What could go wrong?I spoke too soon.The moment I sat behind him, he revved the engine, driving off before quickly pressing on the brakes causing

The moment I tasted the ice cream I had chosen, I felt giddy.I immediately took another bite of the delicious dessert and moaned in pleasure.“Can I have a bite?” Ryder asked.I glanced up to find him already staring at me.When my eyes got locked with him, he gulped and an unfamiliar emotion flashed in his eyes.He licked his lips as his eyes took in the yummy ice cream in front of me. His did not look as mouth-watering as mine. It was plain while mine had some pieces of chocolate chips. The chocolate bits tasted heavenly and somewhat bitter, must be dark chocolate.I nodded as I slowly pushed the cup towards him but he pushed it back.He opened his mouth eagerly.My eyes widened in surprise.He wanted me to feed him?I plunged my spoon into the frozen part of it, got a small scoop of my ice cream and hesitantly fed him.Before the spoon even reached his mouth, he leaned over and licked the ic

Once we reached home, I head up to Ryder’s bedroom and got my remaining stuffs from there.He stayed down to watch some TV.It was already nearing ten o’clock at night.I sighed in relief as soon as I sat down on the bed in my new room.Ryder had surprising ridden his motorcycle at a considerate speed on our way back home.My mind flashed back to what he said to me then.I had just gotten off his bike when he commented with a smirk.“So, how was the ride?” He asked me with a smirk.Was that going to be the only emotion I will ever get from him? I thought.“I’m still never gonna ride this thing.” I muttered with a shrug.“I knew you enjoyed riding this right here. I bet you would want to ride it back someday.” He winked at me as he tapped the seat before getting off.I felt my belly and heart flutter in anticipation.I shook my head to get rid of h

I panicked as I felt myself gasping for air. My legs thrashed around while I tried to slap my father’s hands away.His hold on me only tightened. I felt my head pinched with pain as he pulled some strands of my hair harshly.I kept thrashing around, in hope that I might escape his wrath.“Please dad -” I screamed in pain when he threw me down by the small squared table in the middle of the arranged sofas.This time, I heard my voice. I did not hesitate to scream and yell for help as I tried to escape my father’s grasp.He caught my hair once again and knocked my head into the table.I felt dizzy as my belly churned with pain.I could feel something warm sliding down the side of my face. Blood!I tasted the metallic taste of it once it reached the side of my lips.My hysterical screams soon turned into wailing sobs.The moment he caught my shoulders, I tried to shake his hands off of me but

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

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

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
