The Quarterback's Story!!! Chapter 25

Chapter 25

Zoe's Pov.

I pushed him away from me and stared at him in shock.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" I shout at him while frowning. He roughly runs a hand through his hair with a clenched jaw.

"Trying to get you back." His voice broke at the end. I stare at him for a moment before I push myself off of the locker. I try to make my way to my next class but he holds me back.

Rinngggg

The bell had rang and the hallway was now empty.

"Damon let me go." His eyes turn a shade lighter and I can see his eyes start to glaze over.

"Never." My breathing started to pick up once I felt him close me in with his arms on each side of my head.

"Zoe I haven't seen you in months. I miss hearing your voice. I miss waking up right next to you. I miss that smart ass mouth of yours and most of all... I miss the way your lips tasted, the way we use to make love." His lips hover over mine. I shivered slightly by his words.

I couldn't handle those words.

"Damon I can't right now, I have to get-" he cuts me off by shaking his head.

"You can't right now? Zoe how much time do you need away from me?! I gave you space even though it was killing me, but this... This is just- I need you back Zoe. I need you by my side again." He slams his fist against the locker next to me, making me flinch slightly.

"You don't understand-" I start.

"Then make me understand!" He shouted towards me. My lip quivers and I feel my eyes start to water up.

"I could take the abuse. I could handle his lips on mine. But what I couldn't handle was him making me believe that you were the one harming me. I saw you." Tears rush down my face and by then I couldn't even make out Damon's face.

"I saw you and I felt your hands against my flesh. I could feel your hands wrapped around the back of my neck when you whispered sick things into my ear. It was like I was a doll and you were my puppet master. I felt your lips against mine. And-" I choked out a sob. I looked up to see his eyes. He was frozen and in place.

"I.was.disgusted." I spit out. He flinched away from me.

"I thought you were going to save me in time. I thought that my misery was over, but it wasn't. It was like I was being deceived by the one person I thought that I could trust with my life. He brain washed me Damon. Don't you see? He broke me." I slide down the lockers and cried into my knees. I felt him slide down beside me.

"Zoe. I would never hurt you. I'm not Eric, I would never hurt you." He hesitantly took my hand into his.

"I promise if I ever lay a finger on you violently, you can take a knife...and drive it straight into my heart." He places his hand near his heart, marking the spot. I move closer towards him and wrap his arm around my shoulder. He tenses up slightly and looks down towards me.

"If you want me to not touch you for a while. I can keep my-" I cut him off by pressing my lips against his.

"No. I miss your touch. I miss you." I breath out. I felt his grip on me tighten.
