greatest desires

Backstory of seth

Since so many of you requested this.. here it is. I'm back for a bit lovelies

"cmon leyla!! Cant catch me!" He chuckles, running in circles and trying to avoid me, he won't outskill me though, I'm wayyy faster than him.

I turn the corner, sticking my leg out and watch him fall over it, clumsily collapsing into the long grass. I laugh n clutch my stomach, feeling sharp pains shoot through as I can't stop laughing. He just frowns and looks up at me, ashamed he was beaten by someone younger than him, and a girl.

"Hah! I gotchu seth!!" I giggle, proud of myself for winning against him.

"Okay whatever kid, you just got lucky" he says, rolling his eyes and standing up, brushing the cut grass off of himself and acting like nothing happened.

"I did not, I'm just smarter than you." I state, I mean it's obvious, I am very much smarter than him, and way cooler too.

"Oh yeah?" He replies, taking a step towards me and I gulp, instantly regretting trying to outsmart him and take a step back in sync with him.

"Hm? You scared princesa?" He says, a smirk forming on his face as he leans me against the wall, leaving only a few inches between us and his hand on my jaw. I look at him, not breaking eye contact and it was almost like I wanted him to kiss me.

It's not like me and Seth had a huge age gap, I was 15 and he's 17, but he's my bestfriend, I've known him ever since I started school, and I'd do anything for him. He's always been older, yet he's never been more mature, he acts like a big kid.

"Leyla!" I hear my father call, great, just what I wanted. I flinch, pushing Seth away and realising that kissing him was wrong, and I shouldn't have ever even thought about it. He works with my father, why would someone like him ever kiss a dumb girl like me.

And on the other hand, my father would absolutely kill him. He forbids me dating another boy, he wants to save me till marriage, so that I'll be perfect for someone. I don't really get what it means to be honest, kissing never hurt anyone.

My fathers a strange man, he says he loves me, yet he shows his love with bruises. I have atleast 4 on me right now, but no one else knows about them, I don't want daddy to ever go away.

Sometimes my father locks me in the cupboard, it's a small storage room,and he uses it to punish me when I misbehave. I hate the cupboard, it's dark, and cramped. And my father knows I hate them the most. It's horrible.

I'm scared of the dark, I feel childish to admit it, but he's always used it against me. My brother always comes to my rescue after a while, but it's still scary whilst it's happening.

I look at seth, sad that he has to leave, and hug him goodbye.

"I'm sorry seth, you know what my father is like, and you know he would hate for us to be anymore than friends." I sigh, and he nods, agreeing with me I guess.

That kinda hurt. The fact that he agreed we should just be friends.

"If that's how you feel." He replies, patting my shoulder and walking away, not even bothering to look back.

I walk to my father, unsure on what he wanted and fear shivering through me. He's unpredictable, a man has whatever power he wants over a girl, especially a teenage one.

"Yes dad?" I mumble, approaching him.

"Would you do anything for me leyla?" He says, and I nod, if I disagreed I would've got told off, so I just agree with everything.

"Well, I have friends coming over, and I need you to waitress for them, does that sound good?" Again, I nod and sigh. I have no choice really, the only answer was yes.
