The Lost Girl

Part 8- Nightmares & Love

Geez it's been a busy week.Ive been on crutches & had hella lot of homework this week so I haven't had the time write a new chapter other than to edit a chapter for spelling errors but that's about it.I swear I'm addicted to wattpad because I spend 24/7 reading or writing 😂.

Chapter 8:
I don't know what I expected when I woke up in Daniel's arms again but something felt so wrong, like he was a heartbreak waiting to happen. He said love but he probably didn't mean it so I brushed it off of my thoughts. It was Saturday and I still hadn't finished my English essay thanks to Daniel so I decided to go to my room and finish it. As I walked out of his room into mine the cold hardwood awoke me. The figure that stood in front of me jolted me awake and I was no longer sleepy. It was him. How he got here left me dumbfounded but how he knew I lived here shocked me even more, even looking at him my blood ran cold. He stood there pleased with my reaction smiling his ass off. It looked as if he hadn't slept in days and he was drunk.

He said in a hushed tone, "Be prepared Beth." When he said my name he gritted his teeth together. One thing was for sure my father hated me, now and forever. His hand reached out trying to grab me when I felt hands on me constricting my movements.

I opened my eyes and found Daniel next to me with his hands on my arms.

Thank god it was just a dream- or nightmare rather.

"Beth you okay?" Daniel said almost breathless.

Without responding I got up and went to my room, checking everywhere. So it was just a dream. I sighed in relief and realized that these memories would never go away, they'd always been bound in my head ready to attack. I just sat in my room looking out my window, so many happy people were out there walking their dogs, with their boyfriend/girlfriend, laughing at jokes, just being happy. One thing I hadn't learned how to do yet. I hit a point in my life were I was in cloud nine but then it all went crashing down the moment everything was great.

"I love you," liar. Why would I even begin to believe that. It was bullshit and I knew it.

When I looked back out the window I saw that it was dark but there were hundreds of stars out making the streets glow with brightness.I crawled out my window and carefully jumped down. My room was on the second floor but that didn't stop me from jumping. I got up and wiped my ass that was now covered with grass off. My "parents" would kill me if they found me out here but at this rate I had nothing to lose, they might give up and send me to a foster care or back to my dad's. They were always so respectful to me yet I was the unwanted child obviously, but they were too nice to make me leave.My phone rang and Daniel's name lit up on my screen.

In an annoyed tone I spoke, "What do you want?" Geez I was being a bitch today.

"Well I mean I want you but can't have that so, My parents are looking for you and their worried as hell so come home."

"Not a chance, Daniel."

"Beth stop being stubborn and come home. I'm not joking around, their driving around town to find you because there worried."

"I'm not coming home."

"Will you just stop being a stubborn bitch Beth?My parents do nothing but help you and you've got them worried-"

And that's when I hung up. I turned my phone off and started walking faster. He really just called me a bitch, I knew I was being one but it hurt for him to say that.I saw Adam and he was smoking, unattractive quality but Adam was cool. I walked over to him and said," I took your suggestion and got lost again, luckily I found you."

He looked at me with a smirk on his face and whispered in my ear, "Nice to see you got lost just for me babe."

When he said babe it seemed out of place and made me slightly uncomfortable but I stayed still in my very spot. We talked for hours on end and he got closer and closer when each minute passed, his hands were on my waist and his lips weren't even 2 inches away from mine. We were going to kiss.

An angry voice in the distance screamed, "Beth."

In that moment I knew exactly who it was. Daniel. Only he could've been that loud geez he about deafened me when he yelled at me at home. He saw me I knew it because he started running towards my direction. Adam's hand moved down to my ass as if he was trying to piss Daniel off. Daniel just grabbed my arm and literally drug me to his car only a few streets away and put me in the passenger seat of his car. When he got in he slammed the door shut and sent a quick text to someone, don't know who but whatever. The silence was like being in heavy air, it was uncomfortable as hell and we had been driving for 40 minutes until we arrived home. I didn't even care to get lectured today but I knew Daniel would go on a rant to me about sneaking out. He opened the door and went straight to his room not saying a single word to me, which meant he was beyond pissed at me. I walked up to my room feeling guilty for causing everyone to worry about me and acting like a spoiled brat when they pampered me. I crawled into my bed and couldn't sleep a bit because I felt to awful. I sent Daniel a quick text as well as my parents.

"I'm sorry."

It wasn't much but at least they knew I felt bad. They cared about me and even wanted the best for me, it was time I treated them like its respect for once. Feeling a little better about everything I could finally go to sleep.

**THE NEXT DAY**

I woke up at 8 am in the morning which was too early on a Sunday because all I wanted was to sleep in but my brain wouldn't let me. When I woke up I checked my phone for new notifications but with few of them I was bored after 5 minutes. I decided to get up a bake some cookies because now that I think about it who doesn't like cookies, so I went downstairs and put some in the oven, set a theme for 12 minutes, and brewed some fresh coffee for my parents. I still had 10 minutes until the cookies would be done so I decided to go get dressed into some running clothes and go for a run. After being pleased with my reflection I went downstairs with 1 minute to spare. The cookies had been pleased on a cooling rack and with that I went onto writing a note for my parents.

To My Wonderful Parents,
I made some cookies & coffee for you so you were ready to start you day. Going on a quick run around the neighborhood & I'll be back within the hour.

Love,
Beth

So with that I headed out for my run. I loved runs because it made me feel more awake and made me feel healthy. I loved the nature and before my dad became so abusive I actually used to be involved in my schools track team but once he started spiraling out of control he made me quite track and the rest of my childhood wasn't to good. I looked at my phone and it was 8:45 so I started to run home. When I got to the door it was 8:58 and I had 2 minutes to spare so I unlocked the door and went inside to find a disturbing image. Daniel and some chick were straight up making out on the couch and he was above her moving his mouth in sinc with hers. I knew he was a liar but I guess that's what you should expect from a player. I looked down at my phone scrolling through Instagram as if I never saw that scene on the couch.As soon as I got upstairs I grabbed some clothes and hopped into the shower to wash my troubles away, I have no idea why but showers were relaxing as hell. I put on an oversized t-shirt on, some shorts on, and competed my look with my hair in a messy bun. Usually I would do my makeup right now but I was too lazy so I decided to go downstairs and make myself breakfast making sure I had my headphones on. When I got downstairs I opened up the fridge, got fruit out and started cutting it up to create a fruit bowl for breakfast. It had all my favorite fruits, grapes, strawberries, bananas, and apples.

Daniel looked and stared at me for awhile until finally saying, "So why are you ignoring me?"

It's 11 pm and I have school tomorrow but I really wanted to get a chapter up so I did.But now I'm tired as heck so goodnight. I hope you like that I finally updated :)
