Safe With Me |18+

Apologies.

"Elora!" I called out, walking down the stairs. She peeked behind the wall and I sighed. I bent on my knees and I cupped her cheeks. "Are you okay?" I asked. She shook her head.

"He slapped me." I looked at her cheek and it was bright red. I shut my eyes tight, regretting I even left her alone. "I need your help, sunshine." I said. "What?" "We gotta put him in his room." She nodded.

I climbed up the stairs and I entered her room again. I grabbed his arms and she lifted his legs. "Okay. You don't need to be careful. If he dies, say that he fell down the fucking stairs." "Can't we throw him?"

I giggled. "Works."

We carried him to his room and I lifted him up on the couch. We exited his room and I took a deep breath. "It smells like shit and alcohol. What were you doing there?" I asked.

"I was bored." "El, you could've gotten yourself really hurt. I'm not leaving you alone, okay? I'm taking you everywhere." She nodded.

"Come. We still have homework to do."

We climbed up the stairs and she pulled out her books. She showed me her homework and I smiled. "This is easy shit!" "Easy for you! I'm new to this." "Good point."

"Alright. You know the 9 times table?" She shook her head. "Dumbass. Look." I explained to her an easy way to remember and she grinned at me. "Wow. How simple!" She said.

"Yeah. Alright. Is that all? Or do I need to wash your face with the toilet brush?" "It's all good. And thanks."

"For?" "Saving me." "You know I always will." I said. She smiled and nodded. I got up and I looked down at her. "You're done with dinner?" "Yeah." "Okay. Stay in your room. I'll go have mine. Goodnight, kid." "Goodnight."

I left her room and I microwaved the food. My phone pinged and I checked it out.

"Hey! There's a party on Friday! You down?" Kelsie asked.

Parties? Me? Does she know me? "Whose?"

"Liam's." "Fuck no."

"I knew it." "What do you want?" "To get dicked down." "What about your boss?" "Boring. I need to explore." "You're funny." "Please, maybe I can find some fuckboys to screw them over." "No." "Cora." "Bye, Kelsie."  I rolled my eyes and I ate my food in silence.

What a fucking night. I knew it was gonna get worse. I was all ready for it.

I reached school the next day and I walked down the halls. Heather stopped in front of me and she squinted her eyes.

"This isn't over, bitch."

"Don't make me hurt you, feather."

"It's Heather." "I don't give a fuck."

"My project is gonna be so much better than yours!"

"I don't that since you're busy sucking cock and releasing your sex tape." "Fuck you."

I pushed past her and I walked to my locker. Kelsie hopped behind me and she smiled. "Hey!!" She said. "No." "Please!"

"The guy bullies me. What's wrong with you?" "You're right." I closed my locker and I looked at her. "Please, Kelsie. I just wanna be okay. No drama."

"You're right. I'm sorry. Do you want me to come over?" "No. But you can take El today. She can't stay home alone. Dad went crazy last night."

"Fuck. Okay, I'll take her." "Thanks." I walked to class and I sat on my chair. I kept my feet up and I checked out Instagram.
