Forbidden Love

Chapter 4

It's been about a week since my last incident with my 'father' but im surprised at how it's been a week without getting another mark for simply existing but here we are. I decided to walk to school because I didn't want to be interrogated by any of my brothers on how my appetite suddenly disappeared.

I don't enjoy walking to school but at this point I couldn't care less. I put on my headphones and dozed off completely ignoring everyone and everything. This was all stopped when I felt someone huge tackle me to the ground. I looked up from the floor to see none other than Andrès, what the actual hell happened.

"Can you not see?!" He asked. I was still so confused then I saw a man storming his way over to us but Andrès stood in front of me. "Next time tell your little whore to watch where the fuck she's going" the guy snapped at Andrès whilst staring at me with his beady eyes. "If you like all your limbs attached to your body I suggest you back the fuck up and next time learn how to fucking drive" Andrès said shoving the guy out the way dragging me away.

He walked with me the rest of the way to school in silence which he broke after a minute or so by saying "you can't stay out of trouble can you?" in a dull tone but I simply looked down and fiddled with my bracelet but then after a few minutes he spoke and we both got to know each other better.

He's 20 years old and apparently got held back in college because he was out of the country for exams, he moved to New York from Italy to be closer with his family and lives with his mom, dad he has a younger sister called Harley who is 10 and from what he told me they sound amazing, and he does boxing and used to do MMA which doesn't surprise me at all. "So dopey what about you" he said in that same bored tone.

And excuse me, dopey? "Dopey??" I questioned as just looked over at me with a blank expression "Well seeing as you can barely walk straight , or go a day without bumping into something or someone your basically Dopey from the 7 dwarves" he said shrugging his shoulders. I mean I would argue but he isn't wrong.

"Well I have 4 older brothers called Jackson, Alex, Noah and Jason and they love me very much cause I mean who doesn't and I love reading and imagining im in my own fantasy world, my favourite flowers are blossoms, my favourite colours are grey and purple, I was born in New York and I love studying criminal law but my favourite subject is English because I love writing" I said all in one go looking over at Andrès who had a 'Jesus Christ' look on his face.

Soon enough we made it into the school building as the bell rang, but I made my way to the library with Andrès following close behind. I felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen, a very familiar pain.

Oh god. Not now. Seriously. I held my stomach in pain before speed walking over to the girls toilets. Just my luck, my pants were stained with blood but thankfully I have a pair of sweatpants in my bag for these types of situations. I changed everything before walking out still in a lot of pain.

I layed down on the couch in the back of the library with my knees up and my arms around my stomach hoping the pain would just magically go away but it didn't. Soon after Andrès came over with a confused look on his face. When he saw my arms around my stomach he literally ran out the library. Seriously.

A girl gets her period and is in AGONISING pain and her only 'friend' is he a friend? I'd say he's more of an enemy, just runs out on me. Wow.

I turned facing the wall and closed my eyes hoping that I'd drift off and wouldn't be in pain anymore. I felt my self drifting off but soon after I was woken up with the sound of a bag being put down on the table besides me.

But I was soon distracted by the smell of, brownies and cookies. Omg if there's one thing I love it's chocolate chip cookies and brownies.

I sat up just to be hit with a wave of pain and I tensed my face whilst laying back down wrapping my arms back around my stomach. I looked and saw Andrès crouched down next to me. "How much does it hurt from 1-10" he asked as I just managed to get the words out in one heavy breathe "9" I breathed out squeezing my stomach.

He got some paracetamol and water and helped me take it and after a few minutes the pain went down, it was still there but not as worse as it just was. "Thank you, but I'm still not happy you ran out after you saw me basically dying" I said crossing my arms.

He rolled his eyes and lifted up a brown bag "I guess you don't want treats from Crèmes then" as my eyes bulged out my face. Crèmes is my all time favourite dessert place, they have the best brownies and cookies and it makes my heart happy just hearing those words dance out his mouth. I grabbed the bag off him and took out 2 boxes. One had 6 gooey brownies and the other had 5 big cookies. I felt tears well up as I started to sob. Great. Hormones.

"Why are you crying?" He asked looking handing me a tissue, but I just wiped my eyes before wrapping my arms around his neck "Thank you" I whispered inhaling his scent, he smells so nice but my treats smelt better.

I patted the open spot on the couch next to me motioning for him to join me which he did and we sat there eating brownies and cookies whilst I laughed about the strangest things.

Weird, I haven't felt this happy in a long time. Just then my phone buzzed, I checked the Caller ID it was Jackson. "Hellooo" I sung before biting another cookie. "Do you want me to pick you up after school princess?" He said through the phone "Actually can you pick me up in like 10 minutes please" I asked knowing I cant go another 5 hours in school with my pain.

"Why is everything ok? Did someone say anything? Do I need to tell the others? Is this to do with a boy? Quinn explain!" He said all in one go, jeez this boy "No Jackson I'm in pain if you know what I mean" I said rolling my eyes but I could tell he understood when he gave a simple "Oh ok on my way princess" before ending the call.

I helped put everything away and thanked Andrès again before getting my things and going out the library.
