Books and a bad boy

Chapter 17

I walked in with my books under my arms, i've been seeing this counsellor lately and it's been great, i finally accepted i need help. Her name's Sam, i always sort of wished i had a boy name. My hands reached above my head to my spiky pixie cut which i recently highlighted. I found my chi again, i sat down in my chair and  slipped my hands into my hoodie. A chair scraped and a boy sat next to me, he looked over at me and smiled, he was handsome, which made me nervous. I peeked out the corner of my eyes, he was still staring at me, his hair was long and curly and he wore a May Day Parade tee. I kept staring at him until his boyfriend walked over to him and kissed him, i didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I did a little of both. Class swung by easily since it was my fave. I walked in my usual chill manner to lunch, if i stressed too much it could trigger an episode, this was my life, stay medicated, chill and hit on gay guys. Cassie came bounding in the room, her pink cardigan flying behind her, i always knew about our fashion difference, but now it was obvious as she stopped in front of me in her high heel, and my feet turned to face her clad in my dirty converse. 

"Kells was in a fight," i shrugged "so?" I bit into my apple,"he's bleeding in various places." I closed my eyes, i heard Sam's words coming back to me, stay away from him, she was right and i had, i learnt his forever changing schedule, cause schedules can only change that much, and i avoided him. Cassie knew this, so she wouldn't tell me unless it was pretty bad. I got up and nodded. I followed her back to the apartment and almost screamed, he was almost beyond recognition, he smiled "should see the other guy."

I narrowed my eyes "aid kit, now." I wiped him clean with a wet cloth, and proceeded to fix him as best as i could. Cassie left to go get the drugs i ordered. "Where'd you learn to do this?" "My mother has similar taste in men."

He smiled, i bandaged him and applied the ointment, "where's Cassie?" She burst through the door, i took the stuff from her and applied them, i tipped his head and made him drink the tablets. "For the pain."

I patted his arm, "you're okay." I looked at my watch and walked out.

After school he usually goes to the music store and jams out, i timed his departure although he probably wouldn't go today, cause of the state he's in.

I silently prayed, and entered the apartment. It was empty, thank god, i showered and washed my hair, walking out in my towel, i banged cupboard doors, and opened the fridge. I scowled, "pizza?" I jumped and faced him, "what you need to do is go to the grocery store, it was your turn." He grinned, how do i look, his bruises were already healing and leaving black and blue marks, "terrible." I frowned, lie, he always looks good.

That pissed me off, i should've poisioned him. "You look happy today."

I shrugged and walked past him, making sure to grip my towels at all ends so he couldn't try anything. Once safely in my room i locked the door. About an hour later i was really getting into my music and homework, when someone knocked on my door. I opened it and blinked at the pretty brown girl in front of me.

She seemed ashamed, "i'm sorry but i think i broke your bathroom cupboard, i followed her to the bathroom, "nah it does this sometimes", i pushed it back in place, "who are you?" She blushed, "Kelsa, i'm here with Kells, but he went to buy food." I rolled my eyes, and pushed past her, she ran behind me "i uh know what you're thinking, but i don't do this often, it's just Kells is so." She sucked in her breath and blew it out, probably blushing.

I reached my door, "Kelsa yeah i don't judge that's between the two of you. I don't care." I shut my door, he was unbelieveable. Couple of minutes after Cassie entered, "food's here." I really didn't wanna go out and watch him and Kelsa but i was starving.

I got up and stretched, following her out. Everyone was at the table, I sat down and dished out some noodles, i twisted them in my fork and scarfed down my food in an attempt to finish faster. "You okay?" His blue eyes studied me, i nodded and drained my glass. I put my dishes in the washer, and ran back to my room, i lay on my bed and stared at the ceiling, Cassie entered and lay next to me, "poor girl." i nodded "tell me about it, i give her a week."

She chuckled, and kissed my forehead, I stared at her, she looked tired. "How are you Cas?"

She sighed, I got up and opened my closet, pulling out our paint set, as different as we are, we both love to draw, she smiled, "what are we doing?"

"Grab a ladder, we're painting my ceiling."

We lay back down and looked at our unfinished work, not bad, "the cloud looks a bit pretentious." Her cell rang, "Justin?" I turned to her, "who's Justin?" She beamed and cut off her phone.

"I met him at work, and he's so hot, he's outside." "Well go!" "You gonna be okay?" "Yes! Go!" She got up and took her apron off, "i will wash that later." She straightened her clothes and blew me a kiss before squealing and running out the room. I laughed, and stared at the ceiling.

He came in couple minutes after,"Anna," he whined, "i can't remove all these bandages!" "Where's Kelsa?"

"She left," i sighed and followed him to the bathroom. One by one i removed his bandages and he took his shirt off, i closed the door, before he took anything else off.

"Hold still, i need to get them on correctly." I ran my hands to smooth down the bandages running them on his tattoos, i was in front of him, and his head was against my stomach, he was grabbing my hips to stop the pain. "Done, you big baby, next time don't fight." He didn't move, "Kells?"

He moved his hands under my shirt and raised it up, he kissed my stomach and my voice broke, "um Kells," he raised up and towered above me, i started hyperventilating. I slowly backed away, trying to think of something logical to say. He pulled me in and hugged me, "thanks for everything Anna," I sighed, "sorry i make you nervous, i won't try anything, i hope you know i don't restrain for anyone. What i want i get, but i'll restrain for you." He kissed the top of my head and walked out. I was so fucking confused.
