Chapter 6 : Crazy Thoughts Lead To Crazier Actions

My eyes widened at his threat. My first thought: push him away and make a run for it, my second thought: foolishly stand up to his threat.

I dumbly went for the latter.

I glared at him and pushed him away shocking him, "Don't touch me." I snapped.

He looked at me expressionless and said, "But you'd rather who's abusing you to uh?" His voice was as cold as ice.

I stared at him wide eyed, my breath caught in my throat and my heart constricted, "What?" I breathed out.

He took a step back from me, but still too close for my liking. "You heard me. What? Do you like it? Is that why you're not reporting those bastards?"

"You're such an asshole." I said as tears started to gather in my eyes. I didn't even care that I swore for the first time aloud, he deserved it.

"So what? Now I need to lay a finger on you for you to de-asshole me?" He asked sarcastically. "I'm not an idiot Monroe, I see how you flinch-" He touched my arm and in response, I did in fact, flinch making him smile unamusedly at me. "- see what I'm talking about?"

I wrapped my arms around me and glared at him, "No I do not. It is quite normal for a person like me who who's not used to being touched on a daily basis to react such way, especially because of a boy." I argued strongly.

He looked at me and slowly took a seat at the edge of my bed and shook him head. He looked up at me after running a hand throw his hair, "Why are you covering up for them?" He asked me eyes filled with an emotion similar sadness. I sucked in a sharp breath.

"That's because I'm not covering up for anyone." I just want to go to college, I wanted to add. "Look, I am just not being abused and I don't know where you're getting this...this theory from. I'm sorry for the confusion Alex." I told him as earnestly as I could, nibbling on my bottom lip. I think I was trying to convince myself more than him.

"I..." He stared at me and let out a sigh. I let out one on the inside thinking that he had believe me then something changed in his eyes. "I know you're lying, but I promise you this, I can't just sit on the sidelines while they take advantage of and abuse an innocent girl, too naive for her own good," He mumbled softly looking into my eyes. I let out a air when I noticed the difference in them, they were warm, not holding the coldness and malice it once did earlier.

"What if the girl's not as innocent as you think she is?" I challenged. I knew I shouldn't have said that because it was just going to lead to further suspicion but the words just slipped.

He looked at me and advanced towards me confidently, "I know that girl is innocent and if she's thinking that she isn't, I'm going to prove it to her Monroe." He said stubbornly, walking out of my bedroom leaving me stunned.

I looked down at the notebook in my hands and frowned, "What about the project?" I mumbled to myself.

-------------------

"What the fuck just happened between you and Alex?" Justin asked angrily as he barged into my room making me jump.

I placed my books aside and looked at him from the position I held in the middle of my bed. "What do you mean?" Did Alex tell them what happened earlier? It hadn't even been ten minutes!

"I mean, why the hell did he storm out of here pissed as hell?!"

I opened my mouth to talk but he held up a hand stopping me.
