A Bad Love

4.

Anastasia:

"Who made you cry?" I am broken out of my thoughts by the deep, dark voice I know all too well. I look up and see ace towering over me. Why does he care. "I asked you a fucking question Anastasia. Who. Made. You. Cry"

"n-nobody" I lie. I hate lying but when it came to my dad's punishments I had to.

"We are going to try this again. Don't lie to me" aces voice darkened as he spoke.

"I am just having a bad day" I lie again. It wasn't as bad as my other lie because it was true. I was having a bad day. Ace sat on the grass Infront of the bench. why is he acting like this.

"I fucking hate you I hope you know that" he said looking at the bench. I nodded knowing what he said was true. "I swear if you go and run your mouth about this to those two other fucking nerds I, myself will kill you"

"w-what d-do you mean" I asked my body now tense. Ace stood up and brushed off his pants before grabbing my hand and pulling me up also.

"let's get you home" he sighed and began walking but i just froze. I can't go home. I snuck out without my father knowing. If I go back, he might kill me.

"n-no please no" I said starting to sob. Ace froze and turned around.

"Why don't you want to go home?" he asked. My body froze. Do I confess or do I continue lying.

"I ran away, if I go back, it will be worst." I said he nodded then grabbed my hand and continued to walk. He doesn't care, Ace is just like my father they will probably team up and hurt me. Ace grabbed his helmet and slid it on my head making sure it fit correctly before picking my body up like it weighed only one pound and he set me on the back of his sports bike. My breathing quickened.

I hate bikes, I rather be on something with four wheels instead of two. I tried to climb off, but he put his hands on my waist and squeezed making me whine from the pain.

"you're okay, I am a safe driver when I want to be" He assured, and I noticed a hint of softness in his voice that I never heard when he was with me. He got on the front of the biker revving up the engine making my fears worst. I was about to try and get off again until I felt him grab my hands and pull the around his waist. When I felt my fingers of the opposite hand I tried my hardest and locked my fingers. it was hard because ace was so muscular. I closed my eyes awaiting the punishment I was going to get from my father. When I opened my eyes again, I noticed we weren't in town anymore. we were in the area where the houses got further apart and bigger. Ace kept driving until he turned onto a driveway that was rounded. he pulled up to the front of the house and turned off the bike.

10 of my houses could fit in his and there would still be walking room. I felt ace grab my hips again and lift me up his bike then he unstrapped his helmet from my head and set it on the back before smoothing down my hair.

"None of my parents are home so don't worry. you will see people but those are just my maids" he explained in a whisper. I nodded and we walked inside the double doors of his beautiful home. we walked up one of two staircases and then down a long hallway before he stopped and sighed then chuckled. "You know I have never allowed a girl in my room before"

"I don't have to I could go down to the living room-" I tried to explain but he just put his finger on my lips shushing me before opening his door. When I walked in, I saw the most beautifulness room ever. It was dark and mysterious but also clean and welcoming.

(hey mates, okay put in your own room ideas because I could not find any good ones so have fun 🖤)

"Your room is so pretty" I said taking tiny steps looking at the apartment sized bedroom.

"Pretty isn't exactly the vibe I was going for but I will take it" he said walking slowly behind me.

"you're so lucky" I said running my hands on the blankets that covered his bed. seeing the mountain of pillows and the fireplace not yet burning anything.

"I am sure your room is as nerdy as you are" he said walking behind me sitting on the bed.

"Yeah sure" I whispered knowing my room, if I could even call it that, was Letterly the basement floor. His beautiful warm bedroom reminded me of how much he had that I would never get because of my father.

"Anastasia" I heard ace whisper. he was pulling on my broken holed covered back trying to take it off my shoulders. I noticed I was crying and immediately wiped my tears not wanting them to get on his rug.

"I am sorry" I whispered and loosened my arms allowing him to slide off the bag.

"Why don't your parents get you a new bag" he asked inspecting all the holes.

"My mum died so she can't" I explained. he looked at me waiting for more of an answer, but I just walked away looking at the glass cabinet filled with football trophies. I felt ace behind me and when I tuned to meet his presence I saw he was holding a soft looking Jumper.

"Put this on your whole body is shivering" he explained. I haven't noticed but when I finally felt my skin it was freezing to the touch.

"I am sorry" I apologized for no apparent reason. When I put the Jumper on my body instantly became warm. It was the softest thing every and I closed my eyes and sighed.

"don't apologize. do you want to take a hot shower to warm your body" he asked, and I froze. Why was he being so nice to me. The girl he bullies on a daily and hates.

"Yes please" I whisper, and he nodded walking to another door turning on the light before I heard water running.

"I will have my maids go grab some of my sisters' clothes that may fit you unless you would like to just stay in the Jumper then I will go and find some leggings or something." he gave me so many options and I just stood there. Wait he has a sister?

"Can I stay in the Jumper" I asked not wanting it to be the wrong choice. he nodded and pointed to the bathroom. I walked in the already steam filled room and looked around.

"You can use my soap I put towels on that stand" I jumped from his voice but then nodded and he walked out before I closed the door and locked it then started to get undressed ready to take my first hot shower in three years.
