Andrew's POV I got to the school where I saw Freya's friends all standing outside but I didn't see her. I pulled out my phone to text her but no response came through, it didn't even come up as read. I waited for a while but still nothing, my mind was racing when I noticed that her friends were going inside so I jumped out of the truck yelling for Addy."Addy! Have you seen Freya?"She turned quickly to face me when she smiled brightly at me before shaking her head."No, but we have drama now so I'm sure she will be in there, sometimes she goes to the library instead of outside with us if she has extra work to do.""Got ya, mind if I come to drama with you to make sure she's there? She isn't checking her phone."Her eyes widened when I said that as I watched her pull her phone out but continued walking to their practice room.Upon entering, we didn't see her so she texted her but no response."I'll go check the library to see if she's there."Nodding to her I decided to head back t
Freya's POV The ride to the house was quiet, Andrew held my hand the entire time in an attempt to comfort me but all I could think about was how we didn't talk like he wanted to because of everything that happened with Trevor.My mind still reeling at him showing up there, how can he say he loves me then treat me in such a way, always force himself on me.The restraining order had given me a sense of security, but more so the fact that I hadn't seen him. With everything going on with Andrew, I actually forgot about him for the first time since everything so him showing up while I was alone, in my favorite place, broke something inside of me.Between that happening, losing that sense of security along with the whole 'I want to talk to you later', it sort of feels like I'm losing everything at the same time.I stared out the window when we pulled up to the house, dreading walking inside before having this talk, not wanting to do it upstairs quietly so my father doesn't hear, or waiting
Andrew's POV Standing in the doorway with her dad as I watched my mother with her, they were hugging one another as Freya cried, it broke my heart to see her looking so broken, I understand some of her art even more now than I had before, knowing what the darkness was makesnher work even more powerful than I already thought it was."Thank you again Andrew" Her father said while watching them."I'm happy I was there Mr. Lothbrok.""Call me Stephen, please.""Okay, Stephen."I stood in the door after our parents left rhe room leaving her alone as she sat down when I made myself inside before closing her door quietly.Walking to her bed I sat down next to her, looking over at her with a smile on my face looking at her tear stained cheeks that still looked breathtakingly beautiful. "Andrew, what are we?"She asked me abruptly, I wasn't expecting her to talk about this after everything but I've also told her I want to be with her, maybe she just needs to hear a more solid answer, somethi
Freya's POV After the movie with Andrew my dad came down as I was cleaning up to say goodnight to us."Freya, can I talk to you for a minute, before bed?"Nodding to him I walked to the kitchen as I saw Andrew say goodnight before heading upstairs.He looked back over his shoulder at me with a smile on his face making me smile before he was out of my line of sight.I sat down at the counter facing my father, his expression was serious but there was a softness in his eyes, one he's always given me.Like no matter how mad or strict he was being his eyes always let me know he love and cared for me more than I knew."If it's about Trevor, I told the school cops everything that happened, also that Andrew only did what he did to protect me.""It's not that Frey, although I'm glad you told them everything that happened, they need to make sure that kid never sets foot in that school again. I do hope that you realize we are going to have to go to court for this one though, it's not just a vi
Andrew's POV When I heard her talking to herself in the bathroom I couldn't contain myself from opening the door to face her, wanting to reassure her but she was naked. I instantly closed my eyes, I knowbshe was naked but I didn't see anything really. My anger was blinding me from really seeing her at the thought of his hands on her bruising her, hurting her.How could anyone want to hurt her? He had said he loved her, that's definitely not love, treating someone like this.I felt her hand touch my arms, running down to my clenched fists as she tried to calm the storm raging inside of me."It's okay they will go away, please, I'm going to be okay, thanks to you."I couldn't help wrapping my arms around her small frame, holding her against my body as I traced my fingers along her bare sides, my worry for her overcame the impact of her being naked in my arms.I kept my eyes shut tightly in hopes I didn't make her any more uncomfortable than I most likely was already doing to her. Wh
Freya's POV "Freya"I looked at him, words just were coming to me as I looked into his eyes."Hmmm"That's great, at least I can get a noise out I guess, with my heavy breathing, making me sound overly aroused, guess I can't hide that from him."I don't want to rush you, I want us to take our time."That seemed to snap me out of the daze I was previously in as I felt my brows pinch together before the wave of insecurities rushed through my body as I turned my face so he couldn't look me in the face any longer."Do you not want me now? Is it because of what you saw happen?"I could feel myself beginning to retreat inside my own head, all my hopes for us crashing down around us, it's because of what happened, after seeing Trevor on me, he can't look at me the same or want to touch me now.He grabbed my chin making me look at him as I tried to make sure I didn't cry in front of him, not again."I want every little tiny bit of you, any part that you would allow me to have, I want it.Wh
Freya's POV Continued When I woke up in the morning the spot next to me was empty, not cold, but empty.Stretching out my body I heard my phone buzz on my nightstand, reaching for it to see who texted me when I noticed it was only 7:30am.Addy: Hey love, hope you are feeling better today.If you need anything let me know.Me: Thanks hun, appreciate you.I'm feeling better, just going to take the day to relax and keep my mind off of it all.He ruined my favorite spot, my favorite class. I'm nervous to go back in there right now.Addy: I get it girl, completely. No matter what, I got your back, even if you need me to stay with you in class when you come back.I won't leave you alone in there okay, promise.Me: Don't know what I would do without you. Call me when you go to lunch?Addy: Will do. Talk to you soon.Putting my phone down when Andrew's head popped around the door leading to the bathroom."Did I wake you when I got up?"Shaking my head, my hair everywhere as I looked at him w
Andrew's POV Sitting in the living room watching 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner from Azkaban' while Freya was laying next to me with her head on a little couch pillow leaned on me.I ran my fingers through her hair making her look up at me as I smiled down to her before leaning in, pressing my lips to her head making her smile back."I'm going to get lunch ready, your dad should be here soon and I know with going tonthe school first he won't have much time so it'll be nice to already have some sandwiches ready."Her smile widened even further as she looked up at me."Do you want some help? I'd love to help."She sat up while picking up the remote then pausing the movie before turning to look at me with happiness yet curiosity in her eyes.I wish I knew what she was thinking sometimes, it's hard to read her. She is so expressive yet she can show different emotions at the same time making it hard to decipher between them."I'd love the help, come on my little Freya, let's go make some
