Who Is Kells?

Chapter 9

*Next Morning*

I woke up to ice cold water being poured on us. "What the fuck?!" Colson yelled as he sat up and I covered myself with the wet blanket. "What the fuck is right! I leave and you bring this whore home!" His Father yelled motioning to me. "That so-called whore is my girlfriend and you don't dare ever talk about her like that!" Colson yelled back. "You're not going to do anything. Now get up and get this 'girlfriend' out of here. I don't know what you see in his worthless ass." He said the last part to me. "Colson is not worthless!" I yelled at him. "Savannah don't, there's no point." Colson said and I could tell that he was upset. "You are not worthless. And one day you'll see that and you'll regret the way that you treat him because while he's living his best life you'll be stuck here sad and alone." I said the last part to his father. "Get her the fuck out! Now!" He screamed before slamming the bedroom door. "Oh he's so lucky that I don't have the money to go to jail." I said as I got up and started to get dressed.

I had put my underwear and pants on when Colson came up to me and hugged me tightly. "Thank you" was all that he said. "I'll always have your back. I love you Colson." I said, hugging him back. "I love you more." he said, kissing the top of my head.

We soon broke apart to finish getting dressed and my stuff together before I started to go out of the window.

"Stay strong and know that we'll see each other tomorrow no matter what." I said, kissing his lips passionately. "I love you" he said "I love you more" I smiled at him before running down the street and around the corner before walking to my house.

When I got home I snuck into my room and just when I thought that I was in the clear my door busted open.

"Where the hell were you?!" My mother yelled. "A friend's celebrating my birthday." I said turning around to see a drink in her hand. "Bullshit! You have no friends. Who would want to be friends with a loser like you?" She asked, stepping closer to me and examining me.

She moved my hair away from my neck which showed my hickey from Colson. "I knew it. You're a dirty little whore." She said taking my hair in her hand and pulling it hard. "Ow!" I screamed in pain. "Oh shut up you little whore! I bet you like it. You want to be a little whore so bad, then you should dress like one." She said before ripping my clothes off then throwing me onto the floor and pouring the rest of her drink on me. "I'm not a whore. Yes, I lost my virginity. But it was to someone I love and who loves me. So go ahead, treat me like trash but I know my worth and when I'm gone you'll be left with nothing." I said sitting up.

Then she slapped me in the face before she started to kick me in my side. "I never wanted a kid! Having you was the worst decision of my life!" She yelled before throwing the bottle practically at me and storming off while slamming my door.

I tried to carefully watch out for the glass but failed as I got up and carefully headed to my bathroom. I took out the little pieces that were in my hand and arm before looking up at my face and seeing a cut on my cheek from my mother's ring when she slapped me. I just wanted to get the smell of alcohol out of my hair and skin, so I just turned the water on. While the water was heating up I carefully cleaned up the glass and alcohol off my floor. When I was done cleaning I took a long shower. I must've washed my hair and body about five times just to make sure that I didn't smell like the drink that she poured on me. Soon I got out and I carefully dried off. Before I got dressed into my pj's. I bandaged up any cuts that I had. I went to lay down when I saw that Colson was calling me.

"Hey babe." I said, trying not to sound like I wasn't about to cry. "Hey, glad that you made it home safe." He said with relief in his voice. "Yea, safe." I said looking at my hand. "Are you ok?" I asked, trying to change the subject. "Yea, all he did was make me do a lot of chores around the house while yelling some more." He explained. "That's not too bad. I'm sorry for causing trouble for you." I said feeling guilty. "Don't be. I'd do it all over again just to have that special night with you." He said which made me smile a little. "Me too." I said thinking about it. "I love you Colson." I said. "I love you more Savannah." He said and I could hear the happiness in his voice as he said it. "See you tomorrow?" I asked. "Of course." He said excitedly. "Can't wait. Goodnight Babe." I said. "Me either. Goodnight Babe." He said before we hung up.

I got ready for bed before laying down with my headphones on and crying myself to sleep with the music. I woke up the next day to my alarm. I went to stretch but I hissed at the pain on my side. I carefully got out of bed to go get ready for school and work. When I looked in the mirror I saw a bit of swelling on my cheek and I lifted my shirt to see the big black and blue marks that she left on my side. I sighed while I finished getting ready.

When I was done I headed to the bus stop and got onto the bus when it came. I didn't want Colson to really see my face or hand. So I pulled down my sleeves so they were at my knuckles and I put my hoodie up to try to cover my cheek.

"Hey!" The guys said when I walked up to them. "Hey guys. Hey Babe" I smiled before kissing Colson's cheek then we went to our lockers.

I quickly put away what I wouldn't need for my first few classes before Colson and I headed to class while saying 'see ya later' to the guys. We sat down and I was surprised at how good I was hiding everything. Even the teacher didn't say anything about my hood being up. It wasn't until Colson met me at my locker before lunch.

"Ow my side." I hissed when he hugged me from behind. "Sorry Babe. I didn't mean to hurt you." He said quickly letting go and he stood in front of me. "No it's ok. Just a pulled muscle" I said trying to reassure him. "Oh ok." He said holding my hands then looked down to see the bandages on my hand. "Babe I'm ok." I said but he didn't listen.

He took my good hand and dragged me into the janitor's closet before closing the door behind us and turning the light on. He took my hood off to see the bruise on my cheek before he unzipped my hoodie and took off the one side with the bad arm and hand to see all the bandages. Then he hesitantly lifted my shirt to see the big bruises on my side.

"Who did this to you?" He said, putting my shirt down trying to stay calm. "I fell. " I lied. "Stop lying to me! How can I protect you if you don't tell me the truth?" He said frustrated and I sighed before telling him everything that happened between my mother and I. "Dammit. I'm so sorry Savannah." He said carefully, hugging me. "It's not your fault. Like you said, I'd do it all over again just to have that special night with you." I said looking up at him.

He looked back at me before kissing my forehead. "One day we'll both get out of here and it will just be us." He said with hope in his eyes. "I'd like that. As long as I'm with you I'll be happy." I smiled at him and he smiled back before he carefully kissed my lips. "Come on before the guys wonder where we are." I said putting my hoodie back on with my hood up before we left and headed to the cafeteria.

The rest of the day went by like normal and the swelling was almost gone by the time that I had to go to work. "Ready?" Colson asked when I walked out of the dinner. "Yea." I said. Then he took my hand in his as we walked to the bus stop. He walked me home like he always does. This time when we got to my house my mom was quickly pulling out of the driveway before going wherever she goes.

"Please text me when you're home safe." I said looking up at him. "Promise" he said before kissing my lips. "Thank you." I smiled before I headed inside.

When I got to my room I watched as he was walking down the street and soon turned the corner. I started to get ready for bed and I soon got the text that he was home safe. We texted each other goodnight before I laid down with my headphones on and fell asleep.
