Expected (18+)

The date was over and it was lovely except for the part that he made me split the bill with him, number one rule with taking a girl on a date is making sure you have the money for both of you.

As we walk out of the restaurant his arm finds my waist and he pulls me into him, the hockey team left right after us so they stand in front of us as Aiden says his goodbyes.

"Goodbye, Valentina" some of the hockeys players say and I wave at them as I get into the car beside Aiden, he starts the car and we begin driving and listening to music.

Once we arrive at my house I turn to him and put in a serious face "I think we should just be friends" I say and he nods agreeing with me.

"I really enjoyed tonight though" I tell him and he agrees before hugging me "bye, see you tomorrow" he says and I smile getting out the car and walking inside of my house.

"Hey dad" I say hugging him and walking into the kitchen to grab a bottle of water, my father sits with paperwork in his hands as he fills them out, his glasses rest in his nose and his gelled black and grey hair rest on his head.

He looks tired.

"Hey sweetie" he says finally looking up at me "dad, are you okay?" I ask walking up to him and jumping on the counter to sit.

My father slaps my thigh playfully and I smile jumping off of the counter "yeah I'm fine, work has just been crazy" he says and I nod.

My father owns a pretty successful business, it's a tech company, because of his job we have to go to balls and special advents.

Don't get me wrong there fun but it's also very aggravating when people try to arrange me to marry there son or I have to listen to people talk about there company.

The ball is in America this year since we moved from Italy and they gave us a new location, maybe it will be different.

"When's the ball?" I ask and my father furrows his eyebrows and looks up at me "i thought you hated going to those things" he says and I nod sighing.

"I do but maybe it will be different this year" I mutter

When I arrive at school I take a deep sigh when I see the only parking spot left is next to the one and only Ezra.

"Fuck" I say as I turn my car off and grab my bag from the passenger side, when I step out of my car a presence makes me freeze and I look down at the ground.

"Look at me" he says and I sigh not trying to get hit and look up at him to see him smirking "hello princess" he says looking down at me and my body.

"Why are you wearing a jacket it's 98 degrees out here" he says as he laughs and starts unzipping my jacket but I pull back earning a glare.

"What? You don't have a shirt on or something" he says and I stare at him "no I don't actually" I say and he rolls his eyes

"Bullshit, I can see it under the jacket" he says and I look down and see that my pink shirt is actually visible to were he can see it.

"Oh" I say and he furrows his eyebrows before glaring at me, I seriously don't know what I do to make him look at me like that.

"Give me your bag" he says and I take a step back but all I do is hit my car, he takes a step forward and instead of taking my bag he takes my phone.

"Let's see what you have in here" he says as he grabs my hands and forces me to type in the password, I don't have anything in my phone so I don't really care.

He scabs through the phone before rolling his eyes "you seriously have no friends" he says laughing and I look down at the ground to hold back my tears.

"What's in here" he says as he starts taking off my phone case and I pause as I stare at it "don't" I say quickly as I try to take my phone back but he glares at me and snatches it away.

"What? Is there money in there or something, you know I don't need your money princess" he says and I stare at him.

"Please" I whisper and he smirks before completely snatching off the phone case, no.

When he looks down his face drops and he visibly tenses as he stares at the pencil sharpener blade, my stomach drops.

"What the fuck" he says as he grabs it and looks up at me "Ezra" I say as tears fall out of my eyes "please don't tell anyone" I sob.

"Does it look like I'm going to tell anyone, what the fuck is wrong with you" he says as he stares at me and I pause, what?

After a while of just staring at me he grabs my jacket and snatches it off, he grabs my arms and pulls up my shirt as he scans over all of the cuts and marks.

"Ezra" I whisper and he looks up at me with a glare, I don't know what to do, I'm scared of what he is going to do, is he going to tell everyone and embarrass me?

Is he going to hit me, pull my hair, bully me a lot more, laugh at me, I don't know and it's scaring me, he stands in front of me as he looks back down at the cuts with regret.

"Are they because of me?" He whisper looking up at me with glossy eyes and I freeze, he's about to cry..because u hurt myself.

"Princes, why you cut your wrist?" He asks again.
