He lifts my heart up

¢нαρтєя 6 - Rumours fly.

•Aiden•

"Aiideeyy babe," the annoying ass slut in front of me whined, sticking her chest out in a pathetic attempt to impress me. I rolled my eyes. "How about we meet at yours after school to finish this handsome," she purred, clearly not talking about the project lying in front of us. The bell rang just as she told me she'd come over. I breathed a sigh of relief as I walked away from her not having an inkling of intention on being home today. I shivered in disgust as I recall how she rubbed her witch nails against my arm. Eww. I think it could classify as assault. I smirked thinking of how my reputation clearly did not match up to my personality. Rumours fly.

The day went on as boring as usual. By the end of the day I walked out quickly remembering to call Matt. "Sup Bro, nah, I've just come out. Listen, you free? Some chic is coming home and I don't wanna be there." I listened as he replied he was meeting Diana for their drama project in half an hour at A Latté. I smirked and told him. I'd meet him there before hanging up. Time to annoy Dydy. I chuckled to myself.

I hopped of my bike and barged into the café like I owned it. I winked at the waitress and walked to Matt and Diana's table after ordering a hot chocolate. I smirked at Diana's annoyed expression. "Missed me?"

"About as much as a dog misses ticks," she replied. I laughed as she rolled her eyes. "Oh Dydy, you break my heart." I said, playfully clutching my hand to my heart.

•Diana•

Matt and I silently worked on our presentation. I secretly expected Aiden to keep interrupting and being an ass; instead, his mood changed from his usual smirk to a pissed off expression as soon as he started furiously typing on his phone. While I was curious as to what could annoy him so much I also didn't care seeing as it shut him up. I was still pissed off with him.

"Matt, take her home." Aiden said sternly, casting an angry glance outside. He and Matt shared a quick silent conversation though their eyes before discreetly nodding. I was still puzzled as Matt pulled me out. Aiden following but going the other side. Suddenly everything became clear as Aiden punched a guy knocking a gun out of his hands. I gasped before Matt quickly pulled me away.

"You're not going to ask anything or say something?" Matt asked with an eyebrow raised as he drove me home in his car seeing as Hayden dropped me off earlier.

"Well, to be honest, I'm actually surprised I've shut up so far." I said with a chuckle. "Besides, it's not my business and you just kept me safe, so thank you." He chuckled, "you're welcome, but you're a girl, I'm pretty sure there's a thousand questions in your head right now." I nodded, "well yeah, but my bet is you wouldn't answer honestly anyway." He carefully studied me as he pulled to a stop outside my house. "True." He agreed. "Wait, Diana. This is where you live?" He asked with a shocked expression. "Yeah why?" I nervously replied. His eyes softened, "no reason."

I smiled and thanked him, shutting the door and walking to the door. He made sure I safely reached the door before driving away. I smiled.

I turned the handle with a sombre expression, he was probably home. I softly closed the door and walked in nervously shifting my eyes. Nothing. Even upstairs there was nothing. I felt my vigorous heartbeat slowing and I sighed walking into my room.

By 10 pm, I'd finished my math homework and had a shower. I lay in bed forcing myself to sleep. As darkness pulled me in, my subconscious started its horror movie for the night. Another nightmare.

(Warning: Graphic details)
I woke up in tears to the sound of my door banging the nightmare intensifying the fear, "Wake up you little shit." My breathing became shallow and a panic attack started to surface. Oh shit I'm screwed. I mentally begged someone to help me and after that hell broke loose.

"Where have you been?" He snarled at me. 1 2 3 4 5 ; I counted breathes trying to calm myself. "ANSWER ME!" He shouted, roughly pulling my arm. I whimpered, "I- I- I h-h- ha- had a s- sc- school p- project w- wi- with a cl- class- classmate," I struggled to speak, stuttering.

His eyes, now dark with anger, glared at me. "Don't lie to me bitch! You were whoring around." His voice suddenly deadly. I gulped... " n- no" I muttered. "YES! I fucking saw you. Do NOT lie to me you worthless piece of shit," he pushed me onto the wall. Panic took over and everything went black, flashes of pain being the only thing I recognised. I let out whimpers. Praying I would be saved. Somebody help.
