Corrupting the Good Girl

Chapter 9: Confessions Suck.

Chapter 9: Confessions Suck.

I would love to say I woke up in delight from a peaceful goodnights rest, but that's not even close to what had happened. I woke up in the middle of the night screaming in pain clutching the bed sheets from the nightmares. Ace's mom was by my side in an instant grabbing my hand and soothing me.

After I've calmed down a little she rubbed her hand up and down my back, gently trying not to hurt my spine. Turns out my mom fractured my spine, how? Oh, easy, when she kicked me it shifted my spine.

Could never heal properly again.

"What happened to you?" She asked in a whisper almost to herself. I cried into her shoulder and she sang me a soothing lullaby until I fell asleep again. She was a nice lady who I had just met, but I was growing a motherly love for her.

And to me that was okay.

A little after Ace's mom, Lylia left, I awoke again and this time I didn't go back to sleep. Instead I sat staring at the ceiling then decided I was going to get something to drink. Limping my way to the all memorable kitchen, I grabbed a glass and filled it with water. After I finished the glass, I walked back up the steps and stopped at the door I remember oh so well.

The memories haunted me everyday and with a sigh I turned the knob a little and invited myself in. I didn't care if he was sleeping or not, something told me to walk in; and so I did. Ace was laying on his stomach with a pillow propped up under him. I sighed assuming he was asleep and knew I wasn't getting any company until he turned around and glanced at me.

We just looked at each other and he never told me to leave, so I gently closed the door and walked, well more like limped to his desk chair and plopped down. He raised his eyebrow and I gave him a sheepish smile.

"Couldn't sleep?" I whispered and he shook his head.

"I heard you scream." He said after awhile and I sighed rubbing my forehead.

"The nightmares come and go." I shrugged and he gave me that same blank look but I could see the pity run through his eyes and as fast as it came it left; shielding all other emotions as well.

"They aren't about your mom are they?" Smart boy. I shrugged not really giving him an answer he sighed and sat up looking at me as I glanced around the room remembering everything.

Tears brimmed my eyes and I let my head fall as I huffed out a pity laugh as some tears fell. I brought my hands up to cover my face as I shook my head and wiped the tears, looking back up and smiling weakly.

"Excuse me." I stated as I stood up and went to leave the room and get away from the memories.

"I know." He stated. I turned and looked at him expectantly.

"What exactly is it you know?"

"Everything. I know everything." My heart dropped a little.

"What the fuck is that supposed to even mean." I snapped and he jumped up to stand in front of me.

"I knew about your mom for a long time, I could hear everything all the time. I know about your dad. I know about the things she does to you, the things she says." He spat in disgust but kept that same stupid blank face. I dropped my eyes to the floor to hide the shame.

"I know about that boy who used to live here." He said after awhile and my eyes slowly made my way up to his face to accuse him of lying and yell that he doesn't know what he's talking about. He shook his head, like he read my mind.

"I know you loved him and your mom forced you to do something, I don't quite know yet, but I'll piece it all together."

"Smart boy." I grumbled and he smirked.

"Smarter than you think." I knit my eyebrows together and his smirk left.

"And lastly I know you're terrified, and you hate being here because of that boy who used to live here. I'm assuming this used to be his room." He stated and I nodded.

"Very smart." I mumbled and he chuckled deeply.

It was quiet and I spoke up first. I don't know why I said what I did, but I did.

"I'm so scared, Ace." I whispered feeling the tears come. I looked up at the ceiling keeping them from spilling and taking deep breaths. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me to his bed sitting me down.

"You don't have to do this you know? I don't want you to feel sorry for me or even obligated to do this." I sighed on impact. "Well, what did you want me to do, leave you there?" He snapped and I flinched waiting for this impact.

My eyes were screwed shut.

"Layne open your eyes." He demanded and I slowly opened them. "I'm not going to hit you, ever. So don't ever think I will." He said slowly and I nodded letting out a shaky breath.

"Hey, Ace."

"Yeah?"

"You don't have to help me, you know." He raised an eyebrow and I shrugged.

"You're tired of living up to everyone's expectations, right?" I nodded confused and he smirked at me.

"Then I'd be my pleasure, to turn you bad." I smirked as well and he raised an eyebrow higher causing me to laugh and lay back on his bed.

"Sure." He mumbled and I laughed. I rolled over on my side and looked at the boy laying shirtless in front of me with low hanging stripped pajama pants. Was he always shirtless?

"Can I ask you something?" I asked quietly and he turned his head to look at me shrugging. "You can ask, I might not have an answer though." I shrugged and asked anyways.

"Why do you not ever show your emotions?" He smirked and leaned closer.

"What if I don't have any?" He retorted and I rolled my eyes. "Yes, unless you are a robot and not human, then I would see why you don't have emotions." I rolled my eyes again and he chuckled.

"It's easier that way?" He suggested and I looked at him with an are you serious look. "Well, it's weird!" I yelled dramatically and he chuckled. "I mean you always have a blank face."

"Your point exactly..?" He trailed off.

"My point is, how come girls fall at your feet, like Jesus Christ do you have a blank face during sex?!"

He laughed...

"Why are you thinking about how I look during sex?" I rolled my eyes and he gasped dramatically. "You so want to do me!" He cried out and I slapped him shushing him while he chuckled. I rolled my eyes and answered him, "No, I don't want to do you." I emphasized the 'do' part.

"Mhmm." He replied and oh how I lied right then.

It'd be an honor.

I scolded myself for thinking like that and soon we fell into silence just staring at the ceiling. Sleep was coming back to me and I was kind of afraid to be alone right now. "Ace." I trailed off and he looked at me expectantly.

"Can I sleep in here?" I was about to start saying please repeatedly. He groaned but complied anyways. I smiled big and he looked at me. "What?" He snapped and I shook my head laying back down with a smile. "Goodnight, Ace!" I chirped and he groaned causing me to giggle.

He sooo loves me. *Chuckles evilly.
