UNSPOKEN

CHAPTER 7

ALAINA'S POV

"Riley!Riley!"I knocked on her bedroom door quietly. "what happened?"She asked opening door.She was wearing a robe."Do you have company?who is he?"I asked.she nodded."Oh!I wanted to ask you if you will able to buy me a phone? please!"

I could never afford a phone because David and Emily would take all my money and emergency money is only for extreme emergencies.I looked at Riley and she was deep in thought."Ok!But don't tell them I bought it for you.Okay!"I nodded and ran towards my bedroom.

I took the paper from my bed which had Kenzie,Adam and Jace's number. Adam gave me when I was tutoring him later today.He is annoying as he was when we first met but I am getting used to it now.Kenzie and I have also got pretty close and It's safe to say that they were now my friends. I quickly hide it under my bed.

But there is something screaming inside me not to get close to them. Sometimes I see bruised knuckle or busted lips on Adam's hand. Its like he get in on a lot of fight.Whenever I ask him about them he dodges the questions or he get a serious phone call and rushes out of the library.

'He is in a gang or is a underground fighter Dumbass.'

SHUT UP BRAIN!!

What if he is

A voice screamed inside me.I internally cursed to my overthinking brain and shake all of the thoughts out.

I glanced at my clock.It was time for my shift. And today is payday.YAY! Note the sarcasm. I was walking by the pathway when I saw Adam walking from the opposite direction. He was in a pretty bad shape.Bruised hands, bleeding nose and a busted lips.

"What the fuck happened?"I practically screamed at him."Well nice to meet you too." He remarked sarcastically.I brought my hand to his lips and he flinched.It needed stitches ,It's probably gonna leave a scar. "sorry"I muttered. We stood there for a second  and then I broke the silence.

"Let me help you"I said. He hesitated for a second then nodded.I quickly pulled the first-aid out of my bag as he watched me in confusion.I just keep it to keep myself safe."Why do you have that?"He asked."I am clumsy."I gave him an excuse and he chuckled. I pointed towards the direction of the bench. He silently went there and sat down.

I stood between his legs and began stitching his lips. "FUCK." he cursed. " I am sorry."He was dangerously silent today. I cleaned his bruised knuckles and bleeding nose after stitching his lips. "Done." I announced. He muttered a thank you and was on his way. That was weird.

After few minutes I reached Café bloom and started working my shift. I try not to remember about Adam but my mind somehow wander there. I cannot get attach to them. They can't know my secret or David will kill me.
