2024-10-29 19:42:56There was a tense and awkward silence after Clade said that, and since then Nate has been tense and rigid, Elijah clenching his fist again and again, with a scary calm look present on his face.
"Aw would you look at that, if I didn't know you better I'd almost thought you aren't very happy to see me", He teased, his eyes had a glint of amusement and mischievous in them. His voice held an undertone of anger despite his front of a silly bad boy. I know there was more to this whole act. I have seen it. I have witnessed it at the art class.
Elijah stood up aggravated, his chair falling back from the force, and Nate pressed his lips down impressed and stood up as well. I felt awkward being the only one sitting when my friends were standing so I awkwardly stood up as well. I looked at the half-eaten pancake and I sneakily picked that up and the juice box as well.
Nate noticed what I was doing, and winked at me doing the same.&

I got startled at his sudden appearance and looking at him stupidly with an open mouth."You trying to catch flies with your mouth?" He said sarcastically and I quickly closed my mouth and I felt my face heat up."Uh- um- I was just- hey", I looked down twiddling my fingers hiding them with the extra-long sleeves. Oh- my shoelace is open.I was snapped out of my thoughts with his low rumble and looked at him again. He looked different. His pupils were dilated, eyes rimmed red, his voice a little bit high, and he just seemed calm? I don't know, but whatever it was, was weird and unsettling and way way different than the morning. I wiggled my toe and rubbed it against the shoe."Do I make you nervous little bunny?" He whispered in my ear, I stopped breathing for a second and he chuckled stepping off from and leaned across the wall. Phew. I let out the breath I was holding now that he wasn't

I gulped thinking about the correct way to approach the topic. Will they be mad or angry? Right now, they looked peaceful, happy, and calm so I decide not to ruin the mood and the vibe and just ask them both in the evening. Yeah, that'd be perfect.Before I knew I was yawning and it was getting hard to close my eyes and I leaned my head on Elijah's shoulder and dozed off.I wasn't completely asleep but I wasn't completely in my senses either. It was a hazy state that I wasn't unfamiliar with. It often happened when I got nightmares because they make me exhausted. I know they were talking to each other but I was too out of it to comprehend what.Gulping, I sighed tiredly wishing I'd suddenly feel refreshed and active. I hate being like this.

I wiped my eyes and without any moment of hesitancy, I leaped forward engulfing Elijah in a hug. He took deep breaths clenching his jaw and his fiat as he placed his chin on ny shoulder. I rubbed his back and neck feeling absolutely horrible.How could someone do that to a child, a child himself?He dug his face in my neck and I cradled it with my hand combing through his hair.We were so engrossed in our feelings that we didn't even notice the door open up."I wasn't aware we were having a family reunion", Nate's teasing voice snapped us out and we look at him making him frown."Why so... miserable?"

I tried my hardest not to scoff as she didn't even remember my name. Pulling my lip between my teeth, I bit down hard looking down on the floor as my hands started to shake. She gave me a smirk and Elijah who noticed the obvious change in my appearance and body language, glared angrily at her.Her eyes widened the slightest as she took notice of him behind me, but she quickly composed herself and glared back at me making me shrink in my feet. I observed her face closely, covered with layers of makeup and my eyes widen slightly when I noticed she was covering her black eye with layers of makeup and she also had black and blue handprints on her throat covered by her scarf."Alara, your mother has come to meet you, why don't you go with her and have a nice chat?" Mr. Zachary gave me a polite smile, if only he knew.She stood up roughly grabbing my wrist tightly and I held my whimper as her nails dug in my wrist

"I have a girlfriend", Nate blurted out making our jaw drop as we stared at him with wide eyes.Even Elijah looked at him with a look of betrayal and in a flash, he tackled Nate to the floor punching his shoulder who shouted in pain and struggled to get him off.It was finally weekend now, and Nate thought it'd be a perfect opportunity to drop the bomb on us."You fucker! So that's where you've been going in the lame excuse of 'meeting your other friends that I had no clue 'bout?", My eyes went wide and I gasped as I looked at Nate with a shocked expression who in return pouted at me, begging me to help him with his eyes.Crossing my arms, " Nuh-uh, your cute expression isn't gonna work this time, you stinky pineapple", I said to him with a glare who merely chuckled.WHY DOES NO ONE TAKE ME SERIOUSLY? Am I not scary enough?"Eli, my du

Oh. My. Gosh! This was so frickin cool! I looked at the entire place with an open mouth, my eyes twinkling in happiness as I glanced at the different rides and so many different kinds of vendors and stalls.Elijah gave me a soft smile before my hand was held by Evie and she started to drag me everywhere. She gave me a calming smile and dragged me towards a cotton candy stall."Make it two", she ordered pulling out her money from her purse, and I dig in my pocket pulling out mine."So Lara, how old are you, Nate has told me so many things about you, well he certainly didn't tell me right about one thing", Evie gushed and my heart thudded in happiness, was I about to make my first ever female friend?!"I just turned 17, and what thing?" I asked curiously and she chuckled pulling my cheeks."You're much more adorable than what he told me", She winked making me blush as I give

* means thirds person pov and ** means back to first-person pov. Enjoy.---"Knock knock", Elijah finally asked after I Literally begged him to do something because I was super bored. It was Thursday evening and we were doing our homework and then I finished mine and got bored so I decided to bother him."Cow says", I said biting my lip to control my laughter as I look at him with fun-filled eyes, and he threw me an amused look, his lips twitching upwards in a smile as well." Cow says who?", He asked and I nearly burst out laughing."No, a cow says mooooo", I burst out laughing clapping my hands together and banging the floor with the heels of my foot as I cackled loudly.

Trigger Warning | Mentions of Abuse and Assault---I was back at my old house. Back at my old routine. Tears heavily fell from my eyes as my mom chased after me with a belt in her hand, eyes bloodshot, and nose bleeding with the continuous and non-stop use of drugs.Science says you have 70 percent water in your body. She had 100 percent drugs in hers. She still chased after me with a crazed look on her face as she yelled at me to stop running. I wiped my tears with my arm, hurriedly climbing the stairs leading towards the attic.A hand shot out of nowhere grabbing my ankle pulling me down and I let out a shrill scream as I fell down onto the floor with a loud thud. I sobbed as she grabbed a handful of my hair and I screamed again as she started to drag me out in the living room.

A grin made its way onto Lijah’s face as I blushed furiously and smacked his hand away from my gloved one. Though I didn’t need this much packing, Elijah insisted on covering me from head to toe as he didn’t want to take any chance of me getting sick. I was wearing two shirts with a warm sweater and then a trench coat with dark blue jeans and ankle boots while he himself only had a woolen jumper with a coat. “Wouldn’t you get sick? You should wear the muffler” And with that he grabbed the muffler and wrapped it around my neck while I looked at him with disbelief. “Are you serious” He just grinned tucking the muffler tighter. “I don’t get cold”, He shrugged as if he had some superpowers, but he isn’t Elsa. “Nuh uh mister, wear the muffler or else I will remove everything”, I demanded as I crossed my arms giving him a stern look. He grins at me again before pinching my nose and wearing the muffler. “Are you trying to threaten, Angel?” He teased me while I tried to control

My head whipped to the side at the impact of my mother backhanding me with full force. I fell onto the floor in a daze, clutching my throbbing cheek with wide eyes. This wasn't real. No. "You nasty bitch! Did you think it was over?! You deserve this, I should've killed you when I had the chance", She spat out every word like it was poison, making me tremble and shiver at her intense glare. I screamed as she mercilessly started to throw punches and kicks all over my bruised body, adding more to the collection. Tears fell continuously burning my eyes. Sobs and hiccups being the only thing escaping my mouth. "T..o..p, pl- stop", I whimpered out weakly making her give me a look full of disgust and fury. "You are weak and pathetic!", She sneered at me, holding my forearm tightly in a death grip. My lip quivered and beads of sweat and blood rolled from my head down my weak body. I was truly pathetic. Another sob escaped my mouth and she instantly disappeared. Scenarios changed, and I

"Where's Nate?", Elijah asked me as he dried his wet hair with a towel. I swung my legs back and forth in the air as I played with my apple phone."He had a date with Evie, so he left early in the morning", I felt guilty of crying and thinking they forgot about me. Elijah was arrested and Nate deserved to have his day after 3 weeks of continuous hangouts. It was all fine now though. The crying made my face glow.Elijah furrowed his eyebrows then shrugged throwing the towel on his chair than sitting on his favorite spot on the window sill. My eyes zeroed on his beautiful light hazel eyes that looked almost golden as the setting sun reflected on his eyes creating hues to gold and brown, his wet hair almost falling over his eyes as he ran his tongue over his lips. He looked calm and peaceful. He leaned on the wall using his hands as his pillow and I stared shamelessly at his bulging muscles and huge biceps, the protruding veins, and sharp

"All hail the monopoly Queen", West and Seb bowed down while Jordan fanned me with a notebook, and Ashton and Chase held the chair on which I was sitting in the air. I giggled loudly as West brought a paper crown on top of a cushion, and sat down on one knee holding the cushion up in his arm.I laughed loudly clutching my stomach. My face was flushed but thanks to the air conditioning in here, I wasn't sweating at all. It was 4 pm right now with still no sight of Elijah. I shrugged it off focusing on enjoying the moment. Jordan bowed. before placing the crown on my head and I raised my nose in the air and putting my hand up in the air."Stand up peasants", Jordan and Ashton chuckled while the rest pouted before standing up. Ashton and Chase placed the chair down and I giggled.If you're wondering what is going on, I won the intense game of almost 4 hours and Chase came second with Sebastian being the loser. H

I woke up confused. Where the heck in crusty tomato am I? My neck ached and I let out a moan of pain, as I stretched my arms behind my back and rubbed my neck to soothe the slight strain and ache.Groggily looking around, I blinked to clear my hazy disoriented vision to see I had slept on the floor, the book I was reading last night still in my hand, and no sign of Elijah. I glanced at the alarm clock and my eyes widen when I saw it was 11 in the morning. Omg!I need to get to Nate. I stood up hurriedly bit caring about my messy appearance as I ran outside of my room towards Nate's room, occasionally waving and greeting a couple of my acquaintances. I have made quite a few friends if I say so myself, I didn't help them with work, and being nice would result in so many friends. Of course, I was happy."Be careful, Alara", Jake shouted with a smile as I ran past him and I gave him a small grin and thumbs up. I

I squealed in pain as Nate roughly dragged the brush through the tangled mess in my hair."Nate! Be careful", I whined at him, scolding him. It was Friday night and I just came back after taking a shower when Nate popped up in my room asking if he could make my hair because he was bored, I being the nice and kind person I am let him but I didn't know he was this ruthless.Elijah was nowhere in sight, I bet he was where he has been disappearing off to in late nights, I was curious but I kept it in check, he already has told me so much I didn't want to come across as clingy." Owwww!", I yelped again and he let out a quick 'sorry'."It's not my fault, it's the brush's fault!", He said defensively, throwing his hands up in the air."I was just looking to play with your pretty long hair, I didn't know I had to untangle this whole mess", He threw the brush on t

"She is just like Aria, you know", Aria, his little sister who left him too soon. He clenched his fists tightly. He was aware. Alara was just like Aria, small, kind, warm, adorable, and innocent. "I will do the same I did to her", All Clade's attempt to rile him up or get to him was quite useless as Elijah simply pondered over whether he should break his fingers or his legs. Probably both. Clade gritted his teeth in anger as Elijah remained impassive. Then he said one thing he swore he'll never say it confess to anyone. This will earn him the satisfaction he was looking for. "I will rape the bunny the same way I did to your fucking sister", Elijah's world swept from under his feet as his jaw drop and he looked at Clade shocked to the core. He lost all his calm and composure as his sentence playing on repeat in his head. He had fucking raped his sister? His little princess, his Ari

My lip quivered and I pulled it under my sharp teeth just as my eyes well over with unshed tears, my fists clenched and shook with anger and intimidation and I looked at Clade who casually sat on his chair smoking with a blank face as I tried to get all my emotions and feelings in check. "Open this door", My voice came out surprisingly strong and I tried not to let him see any vulnerability no matter how much I was right now. He looked at me with fake surprise putting a hand over his heart." My God, the bunny speaks", He chuckled to himself and I continued to stare at him blankly. I hid my hands shaking with fear behind my back clenching them into tight fists. I failed to understand what was there to laugh about.You'll never escape this. You are pathetic and will always be.My mother taunted me in my head and I closed my eyes as my breath hitched and imaginary hands clutched my shoulders, tightening their grip by each increasing second. I found it getting harder to breathe as the g

The paintbrush glided smoothly on the canvas, leaving a streak along the lines I previously made with a pencil. I stepped back and smiled in satisfaction as I admire the piece before me. Today our art teacher taught us about abstract art and then told us to just draw with a free hand and see where it lead us. Needless to say, I was pretty pleased with how my piece turned out. I felt calm and happy. Painting always brought me peace and made me feel alive. I don't remember much about my father but I inherited this talent from him. He always had a paintbrush tucked behind his ear, his clothes covered in paint strikes and blotches that used to displease my mother and she'd always scowl at him and complain about the mess he'd make, and he'd always ignore her and hand a brush in my tiny hands. He was a great father, too late he left me with that vile woman too soon. "Ooh, damn, nice job bunny", I jumped, startled at the sudden presence of Clade, and gulped. Ever since I was made aware of
