Losing You (a.banks x y/n)

Chapter 13

I wake up in a sweat. I had dreamt of Mindy, and just the thought of her alone was enough to send me into a panic. If her torturing me in reality wasn't enough, she now tortured me in my dreams. Her threats have only got more and more serious. Today was Friday, the end of the week. I had no idea what she was going to do. I had no idea what I was going to do either.

When I get to school, I avoid everybody as much as I can. It's easy until lunch. I go to walk into the cafeteria, but I stop myself. I turn around to find somewhere where I can eat alone. I find a tree outside and sit down. I look through my lunch, but decide to not eat. I'm not that hungry anyways.

When the bell rings, I don't get up right away. I can't avoid Adam now. I walk into the class to see him at our regular table.

"Hey babe." He goes for a kiss but I swerve it. "Are we still going to that party together tomorrow?" I completely forgot that I told him I would.

"Mhm, yeah." I reply, and give him the best smile I could make. 'This will be it. I'll go to the party with him then I'll break up with him. Then hopefully Mindy will leave me alone.' I ignore him both classes, the best I could.

Im getting ready for scooters party. I wear jeans, and another long sleeve top. The last thing I need is for Adam to see the bruises Mindy has given me. Adam picks me up. We are driving very long when he speaks up.

"Have you been avoiding me?" He asks. I don't want to cause a problem.

"No I've just been tired lately, and stressed." I reply, hoping he'll buy it.

"Okay, just if there's anything I can do to help, let me know."

"Mhm."

We arrive at Scooters place. It's a big house, with a big yard. He must be the one that throws all the parties. Adam parks on the street and we walk up the driveway. He has his arm around me. 'Oh, how I've missed this. How I'll miss it.'

"Hey y/n!" Lola and Emily grab me and immediately take me away from Adam, they lead me through the house and down stairs to a room. Before I can try to fight my way out of their grip, they tie me to the chair that was put in the room.

"Well, well, well." Mindy says as she enters the room a few seconds later. "Here's the thing. I told you y/n, that it if you didn't break up with him by the end of the week, my threats weren't going to be entirely verbal. So now, you little bitch, I'm true to my word."  She walks up to me and slaps me across the face. Lola comes up behind me and yanks my head back by my hair, and while doing that, she rips out a chunk of my hair. Mindy comes back up to me, and pulls out a razor blade, and grabs my arms. She gives me cuts, and I want to scream but my mouth is covered by Emily. I pass out from the pain.

The next thing I know, scooter is in front of me, shaking me awake.

"Y/n are you okay?" He says, and I just start crying.

"Scooter take me home please." I choke out, and he nods. I cling to him, scared.

"Do you want me to find Adam? Y/n, who did this to you?" I shake my head.

"No don't, don't tell Adam please." I say. He leads me out of the room and upstairs. He takes me outside to his car.

"Y/n, tell me, what happened?" Scooter asks on the ride home.

"Im not supposed to tell anybody." I choke out.

"Come on y/n, if you're not going to tell me, at least tell Adam or somebody." He says, concerned.

"Just take me home scooter and don't say anything to anybody. You didn't find me." I say and he shuts up. Tears still fall down my face, as he drives.

When he pulls in front of the building, I get out quickly. I get into the apartment and breakdown. I manage to get to the bathroom and start to clean the cuts.

"Owww." I cry as the antiseptic burns. I sit on the bathroom. 'I can't take this anymore.' It needs to be done, sooner rather than later. I just don't know if I have the heart to do it.

-meanwhile, back at the party-

Adam looks all over the house for y/n, but he can't find her anywhere. He asks everybody if they've seen her and everybody tells him the same thing. "No I haven't." "Uhh, I'm not sure."

"Who are you looking for?" Mindy walks up and asks him, giving him a sincere smile.

"Y/n. She went with Lola and Emily, do you know where they went?" Adam asks. She thinks for a minute and then pretends to have a light bulb moment.

"You know, I think I remember her leaving a room with Scooter and then leaving with him." She says, as if she didn't plan this.

"Oh." Is the only thing Adam can manage to get out, and he walks back downstairs.

He walks outside and sits on the steps. When Scooter pulls into the driveway and gets out of his car, Adam makes his way over.

"What did you do to y/n?" Adam shouts angrily.

"Woah woah woah." Scooter says. "I didn't do anything, I found her all cut up and she wanted to go home, so I took her home." 'All cut up?' Adam thinks to himself.

"What do you mean all cut up?" Adam asks, intrigued.

"I don't know man, she told me not to tell you but I feel like somethings happening to her. She said she's not supposed to tell anybody." Adam stands there, frozen. He doesn't know what to say. 'Who would do such a thing? And why would she tell Scooter not to tell me. Why can't she tell anybody?' Adam walks away from Scooter. He walks to his car and drives home.
