Nightmare

Chapter 9

..Ruth's POV..

Ever since that night I told Blake about my father, he's been there for me. And I appreciate that so much, we've because good friends. I'm glad we have.

As I lay on my bed reading I hear my parents open the front door, they haven't left since then and I hate it. I don't feel safe. I hear them coming upstairs and I start getting scared.

I unlock my phone and call Blake.

"Hey" he says
"Hey Carter umm are you busy?" I ask him.
"Umm no just laying down why?" He asks.
"My parents are h-" but I get cut off by hard knocking on the door.

Fuck no.

"I'm on my way" he says and with that he hangs up, "come out of there you bitch!" My father shouts, fuck no please not again. I decided to open the door before it could get any worse.

"Why the Fuck are you in here instead of cleaning you worthless girl!" He shouts grabbing my hand. I didn't say anything i was scared, "see what I mean your nothing! Your sister was better she was useful!" He shouts.

His words hitting me hard, "I'm sorry" I say he laughs. "Your sorry? Your such a p-" before he can't finish his sentence there's a knock on the door.

"Go get that!" He says pushing me back into a wall, I groan as my head hits the wall. I run downstairs and open the door. I see Blake, he looked worried , "come on let's go" he says I grab my bag and shoes and run out the door.

Blake opens the door and I get in, he walks to his side and drives off. A couple minutes into the silent ride I finally speak up "thank you" I say he nods "are you alright did he hurt you?" He asks me. "Nothing that bad" I say. His grip tightened on the wheel. We drive in silence for a bit more when he says "do you want to eat something?" I think about it. I haven't ate since yesterday's morning.

"Sure" I say he nods, he continues driving. We park at a diner and he gets out opening my door. "Thank you" he lightly smiles. We're both sitting at a booth when this young girl around her 16 or 17 comes up to us.

"Hey, what would you like today?" She asks Blake. I read her name tag and it read "Heather" she was beautiful, blond hair, green eyes, perfect body figure, she has everything a guy wants. I get insecure and look at my body.

Why can't I look like that, I look Like the opposite, i don't have the skinny body figure, or blond hair, or the perfect nose. God I hate myself.

I look up and see her trying to flirt with Blake but he's looking at me. It's like he can read my mind or some shit. "Not trying to be mean or anything but can we get another waitress please" Blake says. The girl scoffs and leaves giving me a dirty look.

"Why?" I ask him, he didn't say anything but just shrugged. A guy around his 20's comes up and takes our orders. I ordered a plate that had some eggs,French toasts, and fries. Blake ordered the same thing.

As we sit down eating, I look up and see Blake deep in thought. "Soo" i say he looks up "I don't know much about you, tell me some stuff about you" I say "what do you want to know?" He asks "what's ur favorite color?" I ask him he lightly chuckles "black" he says "mine too" I say. "Do you like playing any sports?" I ask him "football and basketball" he says "ohh nice" I say "you?" He asks "basketball" I say.

~*~

As were both in the car driving in silence I speak up again, "do you have anything to do today?" He looks at me and then back at the road "nah" he says "if you do you can just drop me off at my house I'll be..fine" i says.

He looks at me "I'm not gonna take you back there I don't want you to get hurt" he says, "I wo-" but he cuts me off.

"Your not going back, I don't have anything to do. And I'm not risking it" he says I stay quiet. As he parks outside his aunt house I open the door and get out.

Blake comes from the other side and we walk up to the front door. Blake opens it and a little kid around 8 or 9 runs up to Blake. He jumps into Blake's arms, "hey buddy" Blake says I smile. "Hey big bro wanna play football with me outside?!" The kid asks "sure" Blake says "yes!" The boy shouts. He looks at me and smiles.

"Hi I'm Alex" he says "I'm Ruth" I say he smiles big and hugs me, I smile and hug him back. "Are you Blake's girlfriend??" He asks with an eyebrow raised, I chuckle "no we're just friends" I say "mmh just 'friends'" he says with a grin.

I laugh, he laughs too, "oh my gosh Hiii Ruth!!" It was Carmen. "Hiii Carmen" I say she smiles and pulls me into a hug. "How are you sweetie?" She asks "I'm okay" I say with a smile. "That's good" she says not really believing me.

"Hey Carter" she says walking up to him and messing up his hair. I smile, he looked at me and damm he looked cute. He smirks and walks up to Alex.

"alright buddy let's go" he say and picks up Alex taking him outside, "wanna help me make some cookies?" Carmen asks "sure" I say she smiles and we walk into the kitchen.

~*~

As Carmen and I roll the dough into balls we place them into a tray and into the oven they go. As we stand there a memory hits me.

"Eww your nasty" Amelia says

"What it's just cookie dough" I say

"It's raw you weirdo !" She says smacking my head.

"Whatever your weird" I say.

She rolls her eyes and we both start laughing.

"Ruth?" I look to my side and see Carmen looking at me "yeah sorry" I say "it's okay" She says. We're both sitting at the table while we're talking. "So you and Blake" she says I look at her. She was grinning I chuckle nervously "what about me and him?" I ask her.

"Are you guys a thing or??" She says "no we're just friends" I say "you know he never ever let anyone sleep on his bed. Only Alex but like friends or something  never. Not even Owen or Diego he sends them down here" she says I laugh.

"Does he really?" I ask she nods, "well what I know were friends" I say "okay" She says with a smile I smile back.

As were still talking the oven goes off, "cookies are ready" she says with a smile. As we stand up and go into the kitchen Alex and Blake come inside.

"Wow buddy you've gotten better" Blake says to Alex, "I SMELL COOKIES!" Alex shouts, he's about to grab one when Carmen smacks his hand.

"Ouch that hurt" he says " wash your hands first mister" Carmen says. He nods and goes wash his hands, as we all sit in the living room watching a movie and eating the cookies.

I feel myself getting tired, my eyes are slowly closing I feel my head getting heavy so I lay my head on something not knowing what it is. I feel it stiffen under my touch. Shits it's Blake shoulder.

"I'm sorry" I say lifting me head up "no it's okay, you can lay it back down" he says I lightly smile and lay my head on his shoulder "thank you" i whisper "your welcome" he says.

..Blake's POV..

As I look to my side I see her fast sleep, damm she was perfect. She was beautiful, "I think someone has a crush" Alex says teasing me "shut up" I say with a silly smile. What the fuck man chill you can't like her. I tell myself.

"Shes a great girl" Carmen says "she is.." I say, "see you have a crush!!! Blake likes Ruth!!" He says "shut up! Your gonna wake her up" I say. On the outside I was acting all annoyed and mad. But On the inside I was some what Happy.

Do I like Ruth?

No I can't like her, I'm gonna hurt her. She's already dealing with so much I can't hurt her more. I'm a piece of shit all I do is cause people pain, and I don't want to do that to her.  I want to help her, to heal her from all her pain not cause her more.

"She's better than all the other girls, even though I don't know this girl much I know she's amazing and really beautiful" Carmen says I smile. She's right she's amazing and so freaking beautiful.
