A Bad Love

6.

Anastasia:

Dear mum,

What was life like before I was born? You know before Papa became an alcoholic. Before the incident. Were you and Papa ever in love? I have seen the photos from your wedding day, and he seemed so happy. You were smiling also, why did you stop?

Did you and Papa ever actually want a child? Was I an accident? Is that why Papa hates me?

I kissed a boy in school today, I don't know if I should be happy about it or sad. I mean the schools bully the man who hates me probably more than Papa just took my first kiss, then just got up and left.

When will I be with you Mum? When will this life of pain end?

Sincerely,

Anastasia Silver

"Stas, earth to Stas" I see Sophia and Jaxon standing by the table. I quickly put my note away and smiled a bit.

"Hey guys," I say my voice a bit scratchy.

"Where's your partner" Jax asked sitting down where I normally sit.

"Oh, umm he had better things to do" I lie at least I think it is a lie.

"Oh okay, do you mind if I steal your work page," Soph asked. I nod and push the paper to her.

"Okay so remember Brian from this morning well, it turns out he was smiling at the girl behind me so just forget him," Jax said.

"Brian? I don't recall knowing anything about Brian" I say with my head tilted making us all laugh. I love my friends. The bell rang making me flinch a little and we all got up and I put me, and Aces project up walking to the lunchroom. Soph and Jax went and got their trays while I sat at our table pulling out my book.

A couple minutes later Jax and Soph was walking to the table when I felt something really cold running from my head down to my shoulders and a punch of people laughing. I heard the annoying laugh of Vanessa.

"Wow nerd this is a good look for you" she laughed throwing the now empty carton of chocolate milk onto the floor. I got up and left all my stuff running out of the cafeteria. Ace was in the hall talking to Cameron when I passed, and I didn't spare him to look. He probably told Vannessa what to do. I hate Ace so much.

I went into the bathroom took of the now wet Jumper and took off my shirt leaving me in my bra before putting my hair in the sink trying to wash off the milk that was now starting to smell. I heard the bathroom door open, but I thought nothing of it until I heard the voice.

"Who did this" Ace said standing behind me. I laughed not caring anymore.

"Wouldn't you like to know? Maybe you will go and reward her by making out on your bike" I growl out. All my fears of ace faded away at that moment and the adrenaline in my body was taking over.

"Stasia who did this" Ace asked his voice softer now. I sighed putting my hands on the sink.

"Vannessa, she poured a cart of milk on me," I said looking down at my shirt and his jumper. Ace was picking them up and took off the jumper he was wearing.

"Put this on then run out to my bike and put on the helmet. Don't do any side quest" he ordered. I crossed my arms.

"Why should I" I challenged making Ace's eyes widen. I never knew I had this bravery in me.

"Because I am going to take you back to my house and you're going to take a shower for the milk" he answered.

"You know what ace. This whole bipolar one minute you are nice and kiss me then the next you walk off and leave me wondering what the heck happened and why the heck it happened, it's getting old" I whisper he nodded then walked to me making me back up to a wall. His hands go to the wall by my head caging me in.
