His angel her devil

Chapter 12: Train Wreck

It's been a full week since I last saw Damion. I miss him, but it's for his own good, I don't want him to be hurt by me.

The beatings has gotten worse, my shoulder is still dislocated. I now walk with a light limp due to my ankle getting stepped on. School has been hell. Derrick keeps following me like a lost puppy, talking to me whenever he can.

I kept getting messages from Damion, but I simply put my phone face down or on silent, trying not to just text back.

I can't hurt him, I will hurt him like I hurt everyone.

I was walking to the cafe when I got a call. Looking down I saw a number I didn't recognize.. I slowly picked up the phone pulling it to my ear.

Phone call in bold!

Me:hello..?

Unknown: is this Aria?

Me:yes, who is this?

Unknown:Thank god! My name is Ivan, I'm Damions friend. Look I just need your help.

Me:sorry actually you have the wrong person.

Ivan:No! Please just wait, I know I have the right person. He hasn't been picking up and I have some...business things to talk to him about. Please just tell him to pick up.

Me:that's the thing, I'm not talking to him anymore...

Ivan:That explains everything. Please, I beg of you! Talk to him before he does some stupid shit...beep beep beep...

The line went dead, making me stand still thinking. Should I just text him and be like 'hey hope your good'..? Or should I just stay strong..?

I have to keep him safe. I can't let another person hurt themselves because of me.

Hitting send I ran into the cafe.

Me:please don't do anything stupid. And call Ivan back, please.

When I was working I felt my phone going crazy I stole one peek at it. And my whole world fell apart..I'm a bad person.

Damion🔪: I'm sorry, this is Alfonso. Damion said he was going out. He said something about 'seeing her' or something.

Right as I walked to the back I heard the bell go off, we were now closing in 3 minutes so I was going to just have to do this quick.

Walking to the front I froze...no. I'm 'her'!

"Aria." He looked like he hasn't slept in days, his clothes consisted of baggy pants and a grey hoodie, his hair was pulled out in every direction.

Even when looking like a train wreck, he still managed to look nice. Stay strong Aria.

"What can I get you?" I said while my voice trembled.

"Aria, just stop, okay?" His voice sounds so broken. Don't ever get near a boy again! You hear me you ugly slut! Ryan's words rang through my head.

"What can I get you, sir? We close in 2 minutes." I tried so hard to stay stoic, but my voice betrayed me.

"Green tea." He said with no emotion. Okay, I think we are finally getting to the numb stage. Cool, strangers with memories.
