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

“Did you catch him?” I asked and walked further away from the kitchen.The guys shouldn't hear this.“No, I got the information that he had been going to the embassy nightclub on Saturdays. It was already too late by the time I reached there last week. I’m going back tonight.” He said.I clenched my teeth together and remained silent.“Listen, don’t tell the guys and don’t do anything about this, okay? Nick shouldn’t know that I’m here to find him. If Tom and his gang learn about this, they will definitely try to warn him.” Michael added.I gave a short nod before agreeing.I knew how reckless the guys could get.“How’s Lea?” He asked.My mind flashed back to last night.The nightmare almost had her out of breath.If I wasn’t half awake, I would have never heard her screams.She could have died from that panic at

I wanted to call Billy and ask him about this meeting but before I could, I heard a chirp by my feet.I glanced down and found the puppy staring up at me while wagging his tail.After feeding him some food, I carried him as well as his crate upstairs.I placed the crate in Lea’s bedroom and stroke his back.He squeaked happily and nuzzled his snout by my left elbow.The moment I heard the door bell ring, I knew it was the girls.I placed the puppy inside the crate and rushed downstairs.I opened the front door to find Lea and the girls waiting.I pulled Lea in and closed the door before Aubrey and Shelly could get inside. I was fed up with all the gossips they would talk about. I wanted some silence. The guys already made enough commotion while they were here. I would not be able to deal with the girls.“What the hell?” Aubrey punched the door from outside as she cursed out.“Open the door,

Lea’s point of view:Monday came faster than I expected.The girls had dropped by yesterday to choose my clothes for my first day at St-Xavier’s. They made it such a big deal that I felt even sicker to my stomach. I just wanted the ground to open up and swallow me up.The feeling to disappear overpowered any other rational thoughts that were running though my mind. As if things could not get any worse, I had felt nauseous and my head had started aching.Ryder had saved me out of my misery. He prepared dinner so the moment he told the girls that dinner was ready, they had rushed downstairs. They were telling me how starved they were. Shelly had spent the entire day with Max at the hospital while Aubrey helped her mom with some stuffs around her garden.This morning though, I wore my black sweater over the top the girls had chosen. The sweater was not part of the outfit but my fingers itched to grab it and wear it. The ho

Ryder’s fists balled at his sides, the veins in his arms protruding and throbbing from the tension that soon enveloped the hallway.I glanced down at myself as I rubbed my arms. No matter how much I rubbed my arms though, the feeling of his hands on my skin won’t go away.Why did I take off my sweater? I should have never taken it off.I felt exposed.Right when I was trying to fit in, someone just had to spoil my efforts.The girls spoke to me earlier in one of the classes that we had together. They told me to try and be myself and that people here might not be like in my previous high school. They advised me not to pay any attention to the stares. That kind of behavior was normal faced to new students.When I felt hands touch me and pull me off the lockers, I jerked away from them. I hastily glanced up while trying to get away but the hands kept invading my personal space. It was Aubrey and Shelly but even then, I made an escap

Ryder’s point of view:A cold shiver travelled down my spine when I felt Lea’s breath on my neck. Fuck! She was doing something to me for sure.The moment I saw Brian brutally pushing her into the lockers, I had lost it. The need to protect her grew intense when Brian still refused to admit that he was trying to hurt her.That asshole had it coming his way.I stood up when I saw the principal making his way towards us. He seemed quite furious. Dang it! The girls helped Lea get up.She had stopped crying but remnants of dried up tears were apparent on her cheeks.They helped her put on her sweater.“Wyatt, Reeves, McCartney, in my office now!” The principal snapped while he stared at us coldly.I clenched my jaw as I looked sideways.I glanced down at Brian when I heard him grunting in pain. He was trying to get up.You fucking deserved it, bastard! I thought.A guy f

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
