Chapter twenty-two✔️

Andy Anders

November flew by in a blur. It's like weeks have flown by without my realization. I haven't heard anything from the school about my scholarship so that must be a good sign. I wouldn't doubt for a second if my parents actually paid off the rest of my tuition—despite them hating me so much I know they value reputation, especially my mother. They may be the worst parents ever but they both expect me to do great things in the future. For their sake not mine. At this point, I don't even give a shit that I was kicked off the cheer team. That feels like forever ago now and I just want to forget about it. But once I see that red head bitch walking around then I won't hesitate to throw a right hook on her ass. I'm still livid that she was the one who snitched on me. I can hold grudges for a long ass time and this one I don't plan on letting go anytime soon.

I decided to spend thanksgiving with Bella and her family since I didn't feel like dealing with mine. I already knew who was going to be there and I didn't feel like facing him. Nick offered for me to stay with him but I realized that what happened between us during Halloween scared me more than excited me. I've never been touched or caressed like that and I wasn't sure if what I was feeling was real or not. My parents never gave a shit about me, my first boyfriend took my virtue and stole from me, and my last boyfriend mentally abused the living shit out of me and kept me drugged up so I wouldn't say a thing—and also the fact that he cheated on me several times. I never had a person to consider my safe place. Nick makes me feels things I've never felt before and I'm so conflicted that I decided to just flat out ignore him until I get my shit together.

I'm so pathetic.

The holiday with Bella and her family was very nice. Her parents were so kind and welcoming towards me that I almost cried because I've never felt that much care from my own parents.

School has been okay I guess. I finished my finals early and now I'm just waiting for the winter break. I don't know where I'll go because I don't feel like intruding on Bella's family again. They were nice for a few days but I couldn't stay with them for nearly a month. That would be too much for me.

I'm sitting in my living room watching TV when I hear someone knocking at the front door. I check the time to see that it's almost midnight and frown because who the fuck would be at my door at this hour. Placing my water down, I get up and head towards the door. My confused expression turns into a scowl when I see that last person I wanted to see standing on the other side.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" I spit out when I see Dominic.

The motherfucker smirks and gives me a once over. "I came here to give you something."

I scoff and grip the door harder, getting ready to slam it in his face.

"Piss off." I go to close the door on his face but he stops it with his foot. His smirk now gone and a shiver runs down my spine out of fear.

"You disrespect me, baby. I do not like it." He tries to walk in but I stand my ground and push him back.

"I don't give a fuck what you like. Leave me alone or I'm calling the cops!" I shout in his face. I'm still scared but I'm also fuming right now. I want nothing to do with him. Why doesn't he get that?

His jaw clenches and I don't even see his hand until it collides with my face. It was a hard punch that causes me to fall to the floor with a yelp. He leans down to straddle my body and slaps me across the face.
