Unwanted. Broken. Abused

Chapter 17

<Xavier's p.o.v>

I was thoroughly confused by that request, but I agreed nonetheless.

Besides, it would be great having her over the weekend.

Blake looked at me when Hope wasn't looking and wiggled his eyebrows.

I nudged him hard in the ribs.

I turned around and Hope was gone.

She had left while Blake and I were joking around.

I guess I'd have to wait for her at the gate.

* * *

End of the school day. Finally the weekend!

And to make it even better, Hope was staying with me over the weekend.

I met her at the gate, and we went.

Hope was going to have the best time of her life.

We got to my house and Hope gasped.

She wrote;

I need to inform my mum of what's going on, and I need to get some clothes.

I nodded, and told her to text me when she was done.

When I said that, however, she furrowed her brows.

Text you? What on earth does that mean?

My eyebrows shot up.

"You mean you don't have a phone?!" She shrugged and nodded.

My jaw was literally on the floor.

"Here, let me lend you one. I have plenty." She shook her head.

No, no. I'll be fine. I can walk.

I shook my head insistently, and thrust the phone at her.

She widened her eyes, but said nothing further.

She went off in the direction of her house, and I started to get ready for her arrival.

<Hope's p.o.v>

I was planning to write a note to Harvey, and slip it through a letter box, then climb in through the widnow and grab some clothes and leave.

I just hope my plan is successful.

I decided to got my stuff first, so I claimed up the tree by the house and snook in through my window.

I grabbed a few clothes and necessities, then ran out.

I slipped the note under the door and ran to the place where Xavier thought my house was.

I texted him and he came to pick me up.

I was just so glad that I didnt have to face a whole weekend with Harvey, and possibly Riley.

Xavier came, picked me up and took me back to his place.

There, we sat down on his coach and ate... PIZZA!

Honestly, I think I was in love with it.

I was stuffed once we'd finished and I was grinning like an idiot.

Xavier laughed and grinned back.

In all honestly, this was the happiest I'd been in years.

Them, Xavier announced it was movie time.

I frowned.

There are so many things about this world that I never knew existed.

Xavier gave me a disbelieving look.

"Come on, your telling me you've never watched a movie before?!" I nodded slowly.

Xavier laughed.

"You'll love it!!" He cried.

He brought a movie called 'The Hunger Games' down and sat down on the couch.

I gingerly sat down next to him.

He snuggled up to me and put his arm around my waist.

I m immediately tensed up, remembering what Riley did to me.

Xaciee shot me a confused look and I wrote;

Sorry, please don't do that. It brings back bad memories.

He nodded, and didn't question it any further.

He took his hand soff my wait, looking slightly rejected.

So we snuggled down, and I slowly drifted off to sleep.
