2024-10-29 19:42:56I 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

I grabbed his arm from around my waist and slowly lifted it up as I moved away from under it. I bit my lower lip to stop myself from wincing out in pain. I felt like I got hit by a truck. My body muscles screamed the moment I moved. That nightmare drained me out so much that I could still feel the aftermath of it on my body.I glanced back at his face to find him frowning.I stilled before laying his arm down on the bed.He immediately turned around towards me to lie down on his stomach. I quickly got out of his way. His face burrowed deeper into the pillow as his left arm went under it.He looked so cute in his sleep.I stood up when his right arm landed on the pillow I had slept on.I had surprisingly slept well last night after waking up from that nightmare. I rushed into the bathroom as quietly as possible. The moment I glanced at myself in the mirror, I gasped. I looked horrible. My hair looked a mess like a bird’s n

The moment they heard Ryder, they rushed to get out of the bedroom.They even pushed Ryder out of their way.“Hey!” Ryder shouted at them but they did not look back at all.“Don’t you dare touch the pancakes I made!” He hollered out loud.I chuckled. On hearing me, Ryder turned around and looked at me.I involuntarily gulped. I did not know how to face him after what happened last night.“Let’s go have some pancakes before they eat everything.” Ryder rushed through his words before walking out.I guessed he was feeling awkward too.I threw my towel on the bed before going downstairs as well.When I walked into the kitchen, Shelly, Aubrey and Ryder were fighting over the plate filled up with pancakes.In the end, Ryder had won as Shelly and Aubrey’s grasp onto the plate loosened.He kept the plate in front of him as he stared at Shelly and Aubrey with nar

I was pulled up the stairs and my view of Shelly hastily gulping down her coffee disappeared. I looked up and ahead of myself to find Aubrey rushing upstairs.Shelly really does love food. She told me that she loved eating a lot but she never gains weight. Both of them actually loved eating and this breakfast was a proof of their love for food. I felt full after eating a pancake but they forced me to have the second one.I remembered Shelly telling me that I would have to be nicely fed for our day while they were trying to convince me on eating the second pancake. I never asked them why but now I knew exactly why they were forcing me on eating some more.I completely forgot that I had agreed to go shopping with the girls.I was still pretty shaken up from that nightmare.I felt exhausted and the thought of going outside just brought a churning feeling in my belly. I felt like something bad was going to happen but what, I could not quite put my fing

Shelly agreed before grabbing my right arm and pulling me outside.I frowned in confusion when we stopped in front of Ryder’s room.Aubrey knocked on his bedroom door.I heard some shuffling coming from the other side.“What?” He shouted from behind the closed door.“We are heading out.” Aubrey shouted back.“Wait, I’m coming.” He yelled back.After a while, the door flew open.When his eyes met mine, I wanted to glance away but tensed up as I saw the way his eyes hardened while taking in my appearance.“Eyes up here, you jerk.” Aubrey snapped her fingers in front of Ryder’s face.Shelly giggled, her eyes shifting from Ryder’s face to mine.He rolled his eyes at them before lifting my right hand up and placing something thin and rectangular onto my outstretched palm.When his hands came into contact with mine, I immediately blush

Ryder’s point of view:The moment the girls left with Lea, I sighed before standing up.I cleared up the kitchen table and washed the dirty dishes.I could hear them giggling and talking but I could not make out what they were talking about when I got upstairs into my bedroom.I made up my bed as my mind flashed back to last night.I remembered rushing out of my bedroom once I heard her gut wrenching screams.I bursted into her room to find her thrashing around as she grabbed onto her hair.She was having a nightmare.I needed to wake her up. She was having a panic attack. It almost looked like she was having a seizure.She was having hard time breathing. She kept gasping for air.I tried shaking her awake but she kept on wailing and screaming at her father to stop.I felt a sudden need to calm her down.After a while of trying to wake her up, her eyes had snapped opened but sh

Ryder’s point of view:We were on our way back from puppy world.It was hard to select a puppy from all the different ones the old lady at puppy world had shown us.Michael might kill me if I got more than a puppy, so, I had to settle with only one, a purebred golden retriever. The drive back home was quiet. It was not as chaotic as it had been on our way to puppy world. Jake had been so talkative that by the time, we reached puppy world, I felt a slight headache.Only some adorable quiet squeaks filled the silence in the car.I glanced in the rearview mirror to find the puppy shifting slightly in excitement. I had positioned the crate well so that it wouldn’t bulge while I drive.Jake was upset. He wanted to sit back with the puppy.Instead of keeping the things that we bought in the trunk, I had scattered everything on the back seat beside the puppy so Jake wouldn’t be able to sit bac

Ryder’s point of view:“Do you want to eat pizza? I can order some.” I asked Jake.We haven’t had lunch yet and I was so damn hungry.“I can never refuse some free pizza.” Jake said with a smirk.“Yeah, your freeloader ass won’t let you!” I shook my head at him.He simply shrugged, sat down on the couch and lifted his legs up the coffee table as he leaned back.“Keep a watch on him.” I told him and fished my phone out of my right pocket.I walked into the kitchen to grab two water bottles while dialing up the pizza place.I called up Andiamo pizza place and ordered two large pizzas with meatballs, tomato sauce, mozzarella, ricotta cheese, peperoncini, parmesan and basil. It was Jake’s favorite. The first time we visited this place, Jake called dibs on the cheesiest pizza and they did get us the cheesiest one. Since then, Jake,

The puppy was sniffing at my feet and around us.I tried to pull away but Alex refused to let go of my arms.He screeched as the puppy tried to come close to his legs.“What the fuck, bro?” I swore but couldn’t help but let one corner of my mouth curl up in a half smile.“Don’t you dare fucking leave me here!” He whisper shouted.“Just follow me.” I snickered when his face turned pale.“No!” He exclaimed and held onto my arms.“You’re acting like such a kid right now.” I shook my head at him.“I’m not!” He huffed.“Move away from me then.” I raised an eyebrow at him daringly.He glanced over my right shoulder and arched an eyebrow as he crossed his arms over his chest.The moment he moved away, I stepped two to three steps back before walking inside the living room.I smirked when I heard him s

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

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
