Cindrella

SPACE, THATS WHAT I NEEDED. FROM EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING.

My life right now was a big mess. I kissed the person who had made my life miserable and now the guilt was eating me. How did I let that happen ? Even I didn't know that answer to that.

" Honey can I come in? "
The sweet voice of my sweet mother halted my roaming mind. I sat back on the bed and welcomed her in.

" Something is bothering to my sweet daughter. "
She didn't ask, she knew it.

" No Mom. I'm just tired because of the trip."

" Well you didn't tell me about your trip. You came and rushed to your room in hurry. "

" Uh.. It was good. "

" Honey , you know you can tell me anything right. And from your face I know you are worried about something. You're bad at hiding things. "
That made me smile. I knew my face would give it all .

" Nothing big to worry Mom, just some school stuffs but I will sort it out. "

" Okay then. I hope you are not lying to me."

Kissing my forehead she left me back to my thoughts. It was Sunday so I had no worry to face anyone. Neither Sin nor Ellis.

The first thing I did after I came back to my room was to call them and let them know that I took a flight and came back home.

However Sin doubted I was alone but he didn't snoop for more.

Ellis still had my luggage with her but that's none of my concern right now.

Tomorrow I had to face people and also I had to face to him. After that kiss I could never look at him eye to eye. And it would be hell at school I was sure every single person has seen it. Wow what a life I was living.

Soon I was off to bed after having dinner but the scenes of other night was still afresh , his soft lips clashing with mine . He was not brutal rather he was slow and......
why I was even thinking about it.

It was a mistake and I would never let that happen again. Throwing the quilt away I tried to sleep. It felt hot even when the AC was on.

" Be ready I will be there in ten. "

" No I can..... "
He hung before I could say more.

I looked at the wall clock. I had fifteen minutes for breakfast before Sin would come to pick me up.

I shoved my books in the bag before going downstairs for breakfast. Mom and Dad had already left for work. Ever since Ajax has left it felt too peaceful.

I miss that duffer of my brother.

As I cleaned the plates, honk of a car broke my earwalls. Grabbing my phone and hanging my bag I locked the door.

" Hey. "

" Hm. "
What happened to him now. He was alright when he called and now he looked upset. Men's mood swings are more of trouble than women's mood swings. I don't why people blame women in it.

" What? "

" Nothing. "

" Sin why are you ignoring me ?"

" Why do you think I'm ignoring you? And by the way isn't it your job to do ?"
Gaped, I looked at him.

" You think I'm ignoring you. "
He was being delusional.

" Really. I know Cindrella you were not alone. You were with him so you don't have to lie about that. You didn't talk to me after coming back and  few minutes back you didn't want to come with me to school. Is this because of him ? Did he do something? "
Surprised with his outburst I looked back at him. Never he had been this angry.

" Sin. It has nothing to do with him. And.... yes you are right I was with him. Because of him I lost the train but I'm not ignoring you I was just tired and nothing else. "
Now I felt like a horrible person. I didn't know my actions had hurt Sin unintentionally.

" Okay. "
With a smile he parked the car. We were at school. Time to see the horrible faces.

We walked down the hall, towards our lockers. The murmur of students could be heard and I could feel their eyes on me. I ducked my head down, looking at the grey floor.

Were they talking about me?

I released my breath as soon as I stepped in the class. They were talking about me. Although it were whispers I could feel their words piercing my heart.

After three ages long classes we were dismissed. I was starving and the most exciting part ,there would be many people at cafeteria and I was not ready for that.

Sin always made sure I eat in cafeteria rather than eating alone in garden or old classes. Ofcourse I sat with him which made it somewhat bearable. He wanted me to standup and speak for myself or ignore their words. But he didn't know how much I had already done all of it before he came.

Also I had noticed that no one would say anything to me whenever I was with Sin.

" Look in their eyes you didn't do anything wrong. If anything it was them who did wrong by posting that video. Also I am ready to punch few faces if they say otherwise. "
With that he grabbed my hand and walked towards the cafeteria.

On our way to the table someone called Sin. I didn't know who since I had my head glued to floor opposite of what Sin asked me to do.

" You coming for the race? "
Chris. It was him. He was alone and he was the only person in his group who somewhat looked normal to me.

" I will think about it. "
Which race they were talking about?

" C'mon dude it used to be so much fun. I will wait for you. "
Tapping his shoulder two times he sauntered towards his table. I didn't dare to look in that direction, afraid if I would see him. I was lucky enough that I had not encountered him since morning.

As I sat on the seat and Sin went to the counter for our food I shoved my head in a novel to avoid my surroundings. I was so indulge in reading that I missed the first thud of something hitting the floor. It caught my attention from the gasps of the students who were watching something.

It was like someone was throwing punches and someone was groaning in pain. I stood up from my seat and walked towards the circle which was formed around the scene.

Why no one was informing the teachers?

What if it was Sin who got into fight with someone because of me ?

That thought rushed me to broke in the circle. But it was not Sin. It was him , Chase and the person whom he was throwing punches at was the boy who showed me the video that night. That heavy accent boy who took me upstairs and...

Video. I will make sure the person who did it and the one who spiked your drink will get their punishments. His words.

So it was him who not only spiked my drink but also recorded it. One thing I was sure that Chase was not lying about it. I saw how serious he was about it in the plane.

Chris and Sin were holding back Chase from getting that boy killed. The look on his face was feral and he was struggling to pound on the boy one more time.

His knuckles were red from blood . How mercilessly he was beating him. As soon as his cold eyes met mine he stopped struggling, the boy on the floor was long gone , the students dispersed to their places as if the show was over.

I knew he was a bully but I didn't knew he could hurt someone physically. He had kissed me brutally. Great time to remember he had hurt me physically too.

Only Chase, his friends , Sin and I were left , standing there . In few quick steps he was infront of me and before I could protest he was dragging me down the hall towards the parking.
