Don't Let Me Go (Book 1)

Chapter 34

'' I see you are the type with Mummy issues ha '' I teased. Those glacial blue eyes of his darkened. My heart almost stopped at the sudden change of atmosphere and at any moment I expected him to hit me

'' You are crossing the line Maria '' he stepped even closer

'' Wow.. Say the person who doesn't understand personal space '' I said '' I would attend your party and do whatever. But you have to pay extra ''

'' I guess you don't want your job any more Maria... I have warned you to behave but Maria... you are not doing a good job with that '' I stared at the asshole before me. So just because I work for them means he would use me for whatever he likes? Typical. The last time I partied with them, he forced a kiss on me, I wonder what would happen if I agreed to this one. Yes, his family pays me well but if he was going to make me do extra work then I should know that I would get something out of it.

'' So you want to play around with me in your damn party for the salary that I get ''

'' I know very well Maya pays you well.. and I don't think you are worth that pay so Maria, how about you be a good girl and work the money's worth.. ha ''

'' I quit '' I said and instantly saw the shock in his eyes

'' Pardon? ''

'' I quit the work. There are millions of jobs out there Logan. Yes I agree that Your mother pays well but you make me sick ''

'' don't you call her..... ''

'' Your family problems are not my problem Logan '' I cut him off and I saw the rage in his eyes '' I no longer work for your family Logan so you don't own me any more '' looking straight into his eyes. ''If you want me at your Damn party then pay up. Or else, I got other things to do with that time '' I walk past him. Opened the door and took the stairs in a hurry. Maybe deep down I was scared he would attack me and the staircase is not the best place to be attacked. I reached the hall and walked past students angrily when I heard Logan's call

'' Maria!!! '' calling the attention of everyone but I ignored '' Maria stop right there!! '' he yelled again and I had no intention of obeying. Noticing the horror in the student's eyes. I mean who wouldn't be scared? First of all, it was probably the first time they saw Logan raise his voice like that and secondly, I was a nobody who just walked by like he was nothing. '' Maria!!! '' he called again

Suddenly, out of nowhere. Isabella, Martina and Sara were in front of me. Blocking my part. Where the hell did these kids come out from '' Move '' I spoke calmly

'' Can't you hear that you are being called '' Isabella said. they stood with their legs open, firmly on the ground

'' If you are that interested, how about you go find out what he wants? I have a class to get to '' I said

'' haa..'' Martina let out an annoyed sound '' this sharp mouth of yours really pisses me off ''

'' Then stay away from me.. that way you wouldn't have to hear it '' With one hand I pushed Isabella out of the way and walked past her but I didn't get the chance to go further as Sara suddenly caught me by my uniform collar

'' Where the hell do you think you are going '' she yelled. In a school like this. One mistake and I get expelled so I shouldn't do anything stupid but what did Logan say to me the other day? He would make sure I remained in the school and make me beg for me to get expelled. Can I really rely on Logan to keep that promise?

'' let go of me '' Trying my best to keep calm

'' We are not done with you Maria '' Martina said as she grabbed my right arm

'' Bring her to the rooftop '' I heard Logan's order from behind me and I frowned as they began to pull me backwards

'' let go of me '' I struggled with Sara's hand on my Uniform and Isabella held my other hand to keep me from struggling too much. She and Martina pulled both my hands backwards, Putting me in the position of a criminal who had just been captured. Where are the school authorities in all this? Not like they would do anything about it. They continued to pull me back while I tried to maintain balance. They could at least turn me around.

'' Worthless bitch '' one of them whispered. Suddenly the school bell rang and I frowned even more. They can't possibly make me miss my classes. This is not right.

'' I said.. let me go!!! '' I said out loud as I forcefully swung my hand, instantly freeing my hand from Isabella's grip and she fell to the ground '' aaaa '' she let out in pain. I then grabbed Martina's hand and twisted it, The force I used to turn around threw Sara off balance and the sound of ripped fabric filled the air.
          You know that moment in your life when the world stops functioning. Everything goes silent, numb for a very long time. That moment in your life when you get a few flashbacks to how miserable your life has been till this point. I fell into that state.

'' hhhhhhh '' The shocked sound from students at the sight before them filled the air and I stood there numb. Mummers at different corners of the room, judging me, causing me, some irritated, some confused, some curious. One of my biggest secrets has been revealed. The ugly scar on my back, the scar caused my father when I was 12 years old.

'' What the fuck '' Martina lets out. Her on the ground as she observed my exposed skin, caused by my ripped uniform. I turned my head to my shoulder, unable to see my back clearly but I still saw it. A bit of the scar. All eyes were on me, they stared at me in disgust, some in pity. What do I do?

'' What the fuck!!! '' I heard a scream that called all attention. I turned a little to see Bianca standing at a distance in shock to see me. She ran to me and took off her blazer. About to put it around me but I stepped away. What is she trying to achieve by doing this? She was the sister of the person who caused this. They are all the same

'' No need '' I let out in a low tone and began walking away. I found it hard to move. My legs were stiff but I still forced it to move. I was beginning to run out of breath, Maybe it was because I was hurting, my heart was hurting. This sharp burn between my chest. The one thing I hid from the world has been revealed. I may show the world every other thing. Show them how poor and miserable my life was but, this scar. This scar was what I feared people knowing. I wanted to cry. I wanted to cry out loud but I can't I can't let them see that they have hurt me.

I walked gently. Feeling everyone's eyes on me when suddenly a jacket was put around me. I immediately turned to stop Bianca but saw Gorge instead and he had this apology look. '' Are you alright?'' His tone came soft. How could he ask me that? How could he ask me such a thing in this situation? I knew if I opened my mouth to answer I would let out the tears that fought to break its way out and I can't do that.

LOGAN'S POV

'' What the fuck Logan!!! '' Bianca yelled at me at the rooftop. We were the only ones so she had all the freedom '' I thought I told you to leave her alone Logan.. what is wrong with you... You have gone too far!!! '' she yelled at the top of her voice. The first time I saw Bianca scold me about someone like this. But that wasn't what was on my mind. As I stood in front of Bianca. The image of Maria's uniform ripping apart kept playing in my head. That was no ordinary scar. it wasn't a scar caused by an accident. Someone did that to her. Someone used something hot on her. I knew because I have scars myself and I have witnessed someone get that same scar. I knew the difference between an accidental scar and an intentional scar. Someone hurt her. Someone hurt her like my father hurt Bianca and I '' Logan '' Bianca snapped me out of my thought '' are you fucking listening to me? ''
