RAIN'S POV:
When I was walking to class, I was slammed into a wall by someone.
When I looked up, I saw Som glaring at me angrily.
I knew this was going to happen.
P'Phayu had announced we were dating yesterday when we were hanging out.
"You purposely went after him. Didn't you?!"
He yelled and slapped my face.
"No." I said and blocked his next hit.
"He'll be done with you in a few days anyway. You're probably just his new boy toy." Som said and stormed off.
Even though they weren't true, his words
and insults still hurt.
The rest of the day seemed to drag by.
When the day was over, I got pushed into the wall and cursed at while walking to my car.
When I got in and was behind my window tint, I started sobbing.
Why must they be so mean?
It isn't my fault he picked me.
I was snapped out of my sobbing when my phone rang.
It was P'Phayu.
"*Sniff* hello P'" I said.
"Rain? Why are you crying baby?" He asked
"I'm not. My nose is just a little stuffy. What did you need?" I ask.
"Well I was wanting to see if you want to spend the weekend at my house?" He asked.
"Yeah of course! I'll just *sniff* go home and get some clothes." I said.
"Okay. Rain, are you sure you're alright?" He asked again
"Mhmm. I gotta go!" I said and hung up.
Dammit.
I sobbed for another good 20 minutes before leaving.
I pulled up to my house and realized my family wasn't home.
Good.
I ran upstairs and grabbed an overnight bag and left just as quickly as I came.
I shot P'Phayu a quick text letting him know I was on the way and left.
When I pulled up to his house, his car wasn't there.
I parked and went to his room.
I sat my bag on his chair and went to the shower.
I let the scalding hot water hit my skin.
I let it run over my eyes for a moment In attempt to make the swelling go down from all of the crying.
When I got out and looked in the mirror I cursed.
Where Som had slapped me, there was a red hand mark.
Shit!
I searched my bag for my makeup and pulled out my concealer.
I covered the mark and put setting powder over it so that It wouldn't come off while I was asleep.
I changed into my clothes and went out.
P'Phayu was sitting on the bed cross legged.
"Baby? Why are your eyes puffy? Were you crying? And why is there a hand print on your face?" He asked and walked up to me and cupped my face gently.
Shit. I thought I covered it.
"It's nothing." I said and brushed his hand off.
"Rain." He said with a warning glare.
"Fine. Some people weren't that happy about us together." I said and he looked at me with shock.
"Who." He said between clenched teeth.
"P'Som." I said.
"I'll deal with it." He said and kissed my head.
"I need to make a phone call." He said and grabbed his phone before stepping out on to the balcony.
I got in bed and pulled the covers up to my waist as I stared at the ceiling.
After about ten minutes, he came back in.
"He's taken care of. You won't have to worry about him." He said and got into bed next to me.
I turned onto my side to face him
"What did you do to him?" I asked as I cuddled into his side.
He put an arm around me and sighed.
"Do you really want to know?" He asked.
"No." I said after thinking.
"I love you." He said.
"Really?" I asked hopefully.
"Yes. So much baby." He said and kissed my head.
"I love you too." I muttered before falling asleep.
