~Midnight's Cry~ (On hold)

~Midnight's Cry~: The lies {1}

Hayden's POV

I thought he loved me. I was so sure that he had loved me. What, with all the smiles and sweet talk, it was too convincing. I was too desperate for love and I fell into the wrong hands for it.

I'm so stupid sometimes.

Now, the man that I thought I had fell for, the wonderful, sweet, charming, man that I had fallen for...is a liar. There is nothing sweet about him when you get on his dark side. And I was on that side a lot. To everyone, even my parents and little sister, Jade, he was a wonderful person. I mean, when he charmed my parents and read to Jade, it was almost as if he was still the same guy I had fallen for. The same one that I wish would come back.

But all that was only a temporary mask to cover who he really was.

After pretending in front of my own family, he would take me out every night and, if I never listened to him, beat me in only the places that weren't visible. For that, he was very smart at covering the bruises. He made me wear long sleeve shirts all the time and jeans. Nothing else. And I always had to wear my hair down to hide some bruises in the back of my neck.

No one ever suspected a thing.

I mean, why should they? Not only is he exceptionally handsome and a charmer, he's also the star quarterback at school. He had everyone in the palm of his hands just by a word. If I told anyone what he did to me, they would all hate me. And I would probably get suspended for framing him because even the damn principal loved him. EVERYONE loved him.

Except me...

I used to love him but all that changed the night of homecoming when he had scored the winning touchdown. It had been a happy day because I had told him I loved him before the game and he seemed pretty happy about it. I remembered, at the after-party, when he'd gotten a little drunk and brought me up stairs to one of the bedrooms. I could remember it all just by closing my eyes:

*FlashBack*

He brought me into Jason's bedroom and locked the door behind him before turning around to look at me; lust in his eyes. He pressed me onto the bed and began to nibble on my neck, making me moan and before I knew what was happening, we had taken off each other's clothes and we were now both naked on the bed. Him on top of me.

He was still kissing my neck and that's when reality hit me. I tried to shove him off but his grip was too strong and that's when I panicked. I swallowed nervously, "I don't think we should d-do this, Adam." He pulled away to look me in the eyes, pressing me down into the bed, "I thought you wanted this?" his husky voice made me shiver, "I-I d-do but I'm just not ready..." I tried to get up but he pushed me harder into the bed. My arm was beginning to hurt, "Adam, you're hurting me." I whimpered.

He narrowed his eyes and laughed coldly.That's when I felt a stinging sensation on my left cheek and realized that he had hit me. He'd never hit me before. I tried to speak but the pain in my cheek was now throbbing and I felt fear seep into me, "A-Adam...?" I whispered. I felt another blow come to my face and this time it made my head snap back, making pain inflame through my spine. I let out a yelp and closed my eyes, feeling my body beginning to tremble as his warm breath blew against my burning cheek, "You'll do as I say, got it?" His voice was cold and emotionless. I became afraid of him.

That was the night he had raped me.

*End of Flashback*

I opened my eyes and sighed. Why did things always end up bad for me? I didn't want this. I would give anything to have my old life back. Before he had come into the picture.
