Chapter 8 - Tears And Prayers.
I ran up to the doorstep and took a breath, clenching my chest. I ran from Connor's all the way back to my house. I came up with a pretty good lie to tell Kyle. After catching my breath, I entered my house being greeted by a huge hug. I felt abs against my torso, so it's definitely not my dad. He pulled out of the hug and kissed me on the cheek. Slimy lips. Kyle.
My parents were watching, so I had to act nice to him. I smiled and was about to walk into the kitchen but he grabbed my hand. His head moved in and his lips were on my ear.
"Hey, we need to talk. Let's have a little chat in your room, eh?" Before I could reply, he shoved me into the hallway and into my bedroom, slamming the door behind him. I gulped and sat down on the bed. He stood in front of me with his arms crossed.
"Umm?" I swallowed looking around.
"Where were you?" He stared at me intensely.
"I went to the park." I stood up facing him.
"Why is your hair all messy, and why do you have whipped cream all over you?" He took a step forward.
"My hair is messy from the wind, and I took whipped cream with me to the park because I brought lunch there, and I got it all over me." I stepped closer, standing my ground.
"Oh, really? Well, explain this." He shoved his phone in my face. I focused on the photo and my breath hitched, tears almost forming in my eyes. It was the picture of Connor on top of me, both of us smiling with mustard and whipped cream everywhere. I gulped.
"We-"
"Save it! You said you weren't cheating on me. But you lied to me. YOU LIED TO ME!" He clenched his hand into a fist, his knuckles turning white.
"Look, calm down, Kyle, I'm n-"
"SAVE IT!"
"Kyle! I'm not-" BAM. On the ground again with a bleeding nose. "Kyle, I-I'm not cheat-" BAM. Loose tooth. I just sat on the ground weeping, praying that this would stop.
"That's right. You better learn next time. Don't ever cheat on me. Don't ever go near him again or-"
"Or what? Or what, Kyle? You already have me under your control. What else could you do?" He smirked and lent down to me, his lips touching my neck.
"Or, your little 'friend' Connor? He'll just magically disappear from the world. Nobody will know how or when. He just will."
"Don't you dare touch Connor," I growled. "He doesn't deserve-" SLAP.
"Stop. Talking. Did I tell you to speak? No. Now Shut it!" He yelled, spitting in my face during the process. I nodded and laid back down on the ground crying. "You're so gorgeous when you cry, you know that?" He smirked, leaning in and kissing me on the lips. I couldn't really pull away or he'd hit me more. How do my parents never hear anything? I guess fate just hates me. "Now, I'm going home. You tell anyone else about this, you'll watch Connor disappear."
"You're a monster." I cried. He turned and laughed.

I woke up to my ring tone and a vibration on my leg. I lifted my head from the ground, greeted by a pounding head. Groaning, I pulled my phone out of my pocket and lifted it up to my ear as I unlocked it.
"Hello?"
"Hey, it's Connor. Are you okay?" I got up from the ground and walked over to my mirror next to my bed. I over-looked my face. My nose was stained red from the blood. I opened my mouth to see a tooth on my left-side. Perfect.
"N-No." I mumbled quietly.
"What?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. So what's up?"
"Well Ricky, Jc, his girlfriend and I were planning to go to Malibu beach today and we wanted to invite you." I smiled.
"That's really sweet of you guys. Well, I have nothing else to do today so, sure."
"Yay!" Connor yelled, bursting my ear drums. "We'll pick you up at noon."
"Okay, see you then." We said bye and hung up. I went to my closet, grabbed some clothes, and went into the bathroom. After undressing I made my way into the shower. I love showers. You're warm, and you get time to think. Unfortunately, I was over-thinking what happened last night.
-
"Don't EVER go near him again or-"
-
"Now, I'm going home. You tell anyone else about this, you'll watch Connor disappear."
-
Crap. And I just said yes for hanging out with Connor. I couldn't back out of going. I'm going to have to scold Ricky when I see him today. He better not take anymore pictures or I will personally beat him up.
