His Will, His Way

Chapter 20

Lorenzo's POV

Emma finally started opening up to me. I felt immense anger rise in me when she told me that her parents left a dept for her to pay.

I told her that I was going to pay the dept for her. If I let her pay the dept herself, it would've taken her a good 3 years. I knew she was broke and working multiple jobs.

She cried when I told her I'd pay it.

I just want her to know that she could always rely on me for anything. I'd give her the world.

Emma's POV

It was now Monday, which meant that it was time to go back to school. I wasn't complaining though, this was the time for me to come up with a plan with Rebecca.

Lorenzo wasn't there this morning, but he left a note like usual.

We had a good day yesterday, maybe I should actually give him a chance- wait NO Emma. We shall not become a Stockholm syndrome victim. We are getting out of here.

I do my usual morning routine and head downstairs. Dante was already ready, so we just head to his car and go to school.

" You ok ? " Dante asks out of the blue.

" Yea why ? " I ask confused a bit.

" I didn't get to see you yesterday, so I was just making sure that you were ok " He says as his cheeks turn slightly pink.

" Awe you're so cute " I say but immediately slap my hand over my mouth.

D-did I just call him cute. Seriously Emma. He's fine dumba*s, not cute.

" You think I'm cute " Dante says smirking at me.

" S-shut up and drive " I say turning my face the other direction.

" Ok baby " He says turning his eyes back to the road.

Thump Thump Thump

Thats weird. Whenever Lorenzo says that to me, I just feel disgusted. But when Dante said it, it made my heart beat speed up.

Odd.

Oh well.

We arrived at school and went to our first period. Rebecca told me to meet her in the washroom on our lunch break, so I was busy thinking of possible plans. But knowing Rebecca and her smart self, she probably already thought of the best plan possible.

Me and Dante just sat in the classroom talking to each other, he'd always blush as me though. Very very odd.

Time skip to Lunch

I tell Dante that I was going to the washroom. He just says ok, but tells me that he was going to be at the food stand buying pizza.

Fatass.

Anyways, I make my way to the washroom. I open the door and see Rebecca sitting down on the countertop.

" Hey Becca " I say catching her attention.

" Hey Em " she says looking deep in thought.

" Hey Emma, I have to ask you something, its been weighing on my mind.." she explains

" Sure "

" Has...Has he ever harmed you " She says looking at me with a worried expression.

I just pull up my shirt and show her the scar.

She gasps and put her hand over her mouth.

" He..He did t-that " she says looking at me with widened eyes.

" Yea..but it doesn't hurt anymore don't worry " I say reassuringly.

" He's sick " she says jumping down from the counter.

" And that's exactly why I need to escape, so lets think of a plan already " I say

" Oh I already thought of one " she says

" Really ?! " I say surprised.

" Yea. So here's what I think will work..."

***

It was now the end of the day. Me and Dante decided to pull up to a McDonald's to get some food, with Lorenzo's permission of course.

"Can I get 2 Junior chickens , large fries, a medium coke, along with 10 chicken nuggets. " I say ordering.

Dante stands there looking at me as if I grew two heads.

" How much do you eat " He says laughing.

" Shut up, I just love food " I say playfully slapping him.

Dante ordered a McChicken Combo.

Boring.

We went back to his car to eat.

He kept trying to steal some of my nuggets, so I kept slapping his hand away.

" No " I say moving my nuggets away.

" Come on sharing is caring " he says making puppy eyes.

" No, Fu*k you. " I say shoving a nugget into my mouth.

He just continues making the puppy dog eyes.

Damnit.

" UGH. Fine. " I say giving up. 

" Heheh thank you " He says grabbing a nugget.

" Hey Emma, I gotta ask you something. " he says in a serious tone.

This can't be good.

" What were you doing in the washroom so long at lunch ? " He asks.

Crap. Think Emma think.

" Wait no, nevermind. Please dont answer " He says laughing.

Wait did he think-

" S-SHUT UP DANTE " I say throwing a nugget at him.

Sorry chicken nugget.

" Okok sorry " he says whipping a tear from his eye.

" Ok lets go now " he says starting the car.

" Yea yea whatever. " I say looking out the window.

That was close.
