Her World

Chapter Sixteen

Chapter 16

Sadly I didn’t find out why there are no baby photos of me as Melissa made some lame excuse about having to put the dinner on as Noah was going to be back any minute. I followed her back into the kitchen but before I could even say anything, a car door slammed shut. Before he even opened the front door I made a quick escape upstairs. I would ask Melissa again when he isn’t around or I might even do my own research.  

It was now Saturday, I ended up not going back to school for the rest of the week. To be honest I didn’t really want to go back, not with Karla being there anyways. I still haven’t told anyone who it was or what happened in the alley way and I didn’t know if I wanted to. It would cause more trouble than it’s worth.

Jake and Megan have been round to keep me company which was nice. It was great to have Megan round; it was getting quite boring having to stare at the same 4 walls all day. Plus Melissa was getting on my last nerve, constantly asking if I’m okay or if I’m ready to talk about it. I know she must be worried but she doesn’t need to ask me about it every 5 minutes.

Jake wasn’t helping either; he’s turned into mother hen. Melissa had to go back to work yesterday so Jake stayed off school to look after me, it was kind of frustrating. I’m not 5 anymore. I thought it would be nice to have Jake being there as Melissa had been babying me.

But I was wrong, Jake was even worse, all I wanted to do yesterday was get a drink but I wasn’t allowed. He just pushed me back down on the bed telling me I needed to rest. I couldn’t even go to the toilet without having Jake behind me, which I couldn’t understand. Did he think I was going to fall down the loo or something?! I was made bed bound and I hated it, how many times I tried to fight him on it, he wouldn’t have it so I gave up.

So it was nice when Megan came round yesterday night, I told Jake he could go. But he wouldn’t have any of it, kept saying he needed to be here for me. I guess some girls would have loved to have their all boyfriends time on them 24 hours but he was beginning to suffocate me.

Finally though with Megan’s help, he left. All last night she filled me in on everything that had been going on at school, and I found out that even when I’m not there, I’m still spoken about. Woo Miss Popular. What I liked about Megan is she didn’t ask me all the time if I was okay or ask me about that night, she was just being normal around me and I appreciated it.

I was now walking into work where I was warmly greeted by Mr Jacobs.

“Ay Marie love, how are you?”

“I’m fine, you?” I replied while making my way behind the counter.

“All is well with me; I’m hoping to be busy today after the terrible week we have had.” Yeah you and me both. I just gave Mr Jacobs one of my best smiles before turning round putting my apron on. I did love the uniform here; it was a light pretty yellow dress with white round the hems. Though I had to cover up my left wrist so I added 3 beaded bracelets.

There was only me and Katie waitressing today; she had the left side while I had the right. There were only a few people on my side so once I had served them I made my way back to the counter. Picking up the cloth, I began to wipe down the surface where some coffee had been spilt.

The only reason I was working today was because I had managed to get Melissa to agree for me to work a few hours. It took an hour of constant persuading this morning before she finally cracked. Well I was only allowed to go on the conditions that I only worked a couple of hours as I still needed my ‘rest’ and Noah took me and brought me back. I tried to fight her on the last one but she wouldn’t have it. I really didn’t want to be alone in the car with him for 5 minutes but it was either that or spend the whole day alone with him. So of course I endured the 5 minutes.

On the journey there either of us spoke which I was thankful for. When Noah came home the night of the incident, I stayed out of his way and he mine, we haven’t spoke to each other since the other dreadful night. I tried to get out of going down for dinner that night but Melissa made me. Thankfully she didn’t do me a lot of food, so as soon as I ate it all I was back in the comfort of my room. Noah didn’t come into my room either, thank god.

Another thing that was playing on my mind was the fact I had no idea who brought me back from the alley. Melissa said that they were really worried about me but I can’t think who it was. I know it was a boy and it wasn’t Noah or Jake. Before I asked Jake he told him that he was going to thank whoever brought me back before going off about it should have been him who helped me, so he’s crossed off the list. The thing is there isn’t another male that I know who would care that much.

A cough brought me back out my thoughts. I looked up but instantly regretted it.

“Are you just going to stand there gawking at me or are you going to take my order Miss Piggy?” I hate him.

“Right sorry, what can I get you?” I didn’t want to serve Kyle but I really didn’t want to lose this job.

“I’ll have a Mocha Latte please”

“To take out or sit in?” I asked him monotonously

“I’m sitting in of course”

“Great” sarcasm dripping through my voice, I turned around and began to make his drink.

“I think you should watch your mouth and be a little kinder to your hero” Hero? Who does he think he is? Some knight in shining armour. I can’t help but let out a little giggle, wow this guy is really full of himself.

“You’re no hero of mine” I sneer turning back around handing him his drink.

“I do believe that I am, but I’m not surprised you don’t remember. You were pretty banged up the last time I saw you.” It almost sounds like it’s painful for him to say that sentence. He holds a smirk on his face but some kind of emotion flickers through his eyes.

“What are you talking about?” He was seriously confusing me now; I haven’t seen Kyle since school. I watch as Kyle takes a sip of this drink, then I realised he hasn’t paid for it. “That will be £2.35 then please” I added giving him a pointed look but only to have him grin back at me.

“I think it should be on the house seeing as I saved your life back in the alley way the other night” He smirks at me before heading towards a table on my side and sitting with his back turned to me, leaving me standing here dumbfounded.

I can’t move from my spot, I keep my eyes plastered to the back of his head. Kyle was the one who brought me home? That can’t be right; Melissa said the boy looked worried. No it couldn’t of been Kyle, he hates me. Kyle turns his head back to face me, but this time he wasn’t smirking he just looked at me. He looked at me with the emotion that I have never seen on his face before.

I would never of thought it, Kyle has a heart. He actually cares about me.
