Axel Allen

Chapter 13

Nerissa Davids 

I woke up and my head is pounding. My ribs are sore. My arms are a little numb. I'm literally struggling to keep my eyes open. When I finally open my eyes. I squint a little still getting used to the light. This isnt even my room. I'm scared.

All I remember was my dad thrashing me. After that everything went dark. I couldn't get out of bed my limbs are so sore. Just then someone opens the door and walks in.
"You're awake!" Axel exclaims in his deep smooth voice. Damn that's hot.
"Uh..yeah. I'm super sore though" I said.
He handed me a bottle of water. I quietly thanked him and took a sip.
"Nerissa, I-can I ask you something?"
He asked hesitantly. I knew he wanted to ask about my dad. He finally saw why I'm so guarded. He saw it with hes own eyes. There was no hiding it now.

"Go ahead" I said,feeling a little less shakey.
"Is your dad the reason you're so quiet?" He asked
"Is he the reason you never trusted me?" He asked.
I sighed.
"Yes. I've been abused since highschool. I thought college would be an escape but they refused for me to go to college. So I ran away." I took a breath,resisting my urge to cry.
"I ran away and came to my uncle's house. I told my uncle not to sue them or have them punished because I was scared whenever they left jail my life would be worse. I'm guarded because I dont know what anyone can do. My parents were meant to be my support system. But they werent and they abused me. So I really dont trust anyone." I finished.

"I understand you a lot. My father is abusive as well. I fought him over but it was a tough time" he said.
"I get that you dint trust him. But you don't have to worry about him or your mom anymore." He said. What does he mean?
"What?" I said
"I locked them up." He said. Locked them up?
I simply nodded. Not wanting ask further.And let him continue.
"Well your uncle is waiting for you outside." He said. I nodded and he started to help me up because my limbs are not limbs right now. He helped me walk outside. He's house is huge. It looks like my uncle's a little but this one is all black.

We got downstairs and I saw my uncle. He gave me a hug and I whimpered a little.
"Sorry ness" he whispered as he realised he squeezed me a little too hard. I couldnt walk any further.
"I cant walk." I told my uncle honestly.
I was caught off guard when Axel carried me and took me to my uncle's car. He put me in the back seat.

"Thank you" I whispered.
He nodded.
I waved him goodbye and my uncle and I sped off. As we went home, I thought to myself about Axel. Hes really secretive. He said he had my parents locked up. Not to mention he knew my dad. I have lots of questions that I'm dying to know the answers to but I'll just leave it for now. Right now I choose to focus on the fact that he saved me from my parents.Although I'm intrested in this boy. What the fuck is with him that draws him to me?

AN💘
Happy reading<3
