I Saved The Good Girl And She Saved Me

12: Clin Clan White Van

"You know what's crazy?" Asked Antonio. We were laying on my bed with a thin quilt on top of us keeping us warm. After he told me everything, we talked for a long while. Although I never told him about my past. I guess maybe I wasn't ready? I should be though.

After our talk we went and had supper then came back up and just laid down.

"What's crazy?" I asked him while turning my head toward him to see his face. We were currently in the spooning position and he was a lot longer then me witch kept me warm.

"It's crazy how Octopuses have three hearts, but I still love you more then one ever could." He stated with a relaxed voice.

Does he know what he just said?

He loves me. Antonio loves me.

The school badboy, and best gang fighter, Antonio, loves me!

My heart was racing while I looked at his beautiful blue eyes he got from his caucasian dad.

Should I say it back?

I should. But do I love him? I was in love once before and I remember how it felt.

It felt like I would do anything for the person. Like he was my world. The top thing on my mind at all times.

Antonio is always on my mind. And Anyonio is always there for me. And I would do almost anything for him.

I love Antonio back.

I turned my body around and rapped my arms around his warm torso snuggling closer to his heart. I could feel the fast beat. Ok he was nervous.

"I love you too." I whispered to his heart. I felt a breath of air being released from his belly. He planted a kiss on the top of my head and we just laid there peacefully. Until of course Michal came and interrupted us.

"Ewww! Dad! Iris is 'doing it'!" Michael shouted.

Oh my god.

I sprung out of our warm, loving, beautiful- enough mushy love talk!- position we were in and stood on my feet. Antonio stood up to as redness filled his cheeks.

"What?!" I heard dad yell.

I groaned and rubbed my face in annoyance at my little devil brother who just ruined the perfect moment.

"Michael. We weren't 'doing it' we were talking in a laying down position." I explained.

"Surree." Michael said with a devious smirk knowing he probably got me in trouble.

"Who!? What?! What the hell is happening?! Michaellll!" Screamed dad.

"Dad it's fine we were doing anything we were talking. See?" I pointed at me and Antonio's body's showing there was no intercourse what so ever. My dad looked back and forth frantically and started nodding his head.

"Of course. Of course Iris was just talking. Who am I kidding, after what happened she probably won't have sex until marriage!"

Oh no. Did he just say that out loud? What if Antonio questions me about my past?

Well, I guess it's about time I told him.

Dad tents to voice his thoughts. He does that when he gets stressed out.

"Oh shit I forgot Iris I-"

"Dad. Just go.. Please?" I said awkwardly.

"Right, yes. Have fun! Um talking..?"

He popped out of my bedroom and shut the door with a little extra force. I finally turned around to see what Antonio was doing.

He sat on my desk chair with his head in his legs.

I know what's about to happen.

"Iris. What does he mean?"

I could act like I don't know what he's talking about, but I'm afraid he's too smart for that. I sigh and walk over to him grabbing his hands. I pull him off the chair and onto the best facing me.

"Antonio, there's some.. Things I need to tell you too. About my past also. I know I should've told you this before because you told me. I guess I just wasn't ready. Please don't me mad I-"

"I not mad." He cut off. I nodded and squeezed his hand and closed my eyes. I began telling him my past.

"I used to have a relationship with a guy who was a year older than me. I met him at the library. He told me he was there to get tutored because he needed to get his grades up so his mom stayed proud. He sounded like a good guy to bring home to meet my dad."

Antonio snorted at that. Jealous?

I continued, "We had an instant connection or so I though. We were together for a year. Something changed in him and he started doing drugs and drinking. I was in love with him so I didn't want to loose him."

I stopped and swallowed trying not to cry.

"One night he was drunk and came to my house in the middle of the night through my window. I was doing my homework at my desk facing away from the window and my dad and siblings were out of town visiting my grandparents. I had stayed behind for a school trip. He didn't say anything, he just came up to me and hooked my right cheek. I fell to the floor in pain and looked up at him. His eyes were full of anger."

At this I started crying.

"You don't have to-" Antonio started.

"I do."

"I was a virgin at the time because although he could be quite scary, he never forced me to have sex with him. He was respectful that way. But that night he wasn't."

Antonio reached his hand up and whipped away the tears on my black stained cheeks.

I cried harder as I told my past to Antonio. He hugged me and held me close as my chin sat in the crook up his neck.

Antonio's body was tense. He was holding on to me like I was a precious diamond.

"Bebé." Antonio hushed. I sobbed into his shirt then pulled back to look at his face. He was also crying.

"I'm so sorry Iris." He said while sobbing. I didn't say anything back and just kissed him on the lips. He kissed me back and it was just a soft, gentle kiss. We pulled away and we whipped each others tears. He kissed my forehead and we both lied back down on my bed. We went back to our position before Michael interrupted us and he held me as I cried. The man I love held me as I cried.

Antonio: Morning cutie. I am taking my Mamá to the doctor today so I am not going to school. Sorry bebé :*

Iris: No worries I'll walk. I need the exercise ;)

I shut off my phone and put in in my pocket. I was kind of bummed Antonio was going to be at school today but oh well. It's just a day.

I grabbed an apple from the counter.

"Bye guys, see you Dad! Love you!" I called before I shut the door. I began to walk down the side walk when a van with no windows in the back approached me from behind. I saw the driver instantly remember the night, that's the guy who hates Antonio.

I began sprinting not hesitating. I came in view of the school but right before I could turn in I fell a wave of shock rotate through my body. I got a glimpse of the ambush. I was tasered by Leo. I hit the ground hard as I felt my urine run down my leg. Leo bent down to pick me up and I tried to tiredly squirm away but it was no use.

He scooped me up in a harsh way and threw me in the back of the white van. I felt cloth cover my eyes then my nose and mouth and all of a sudden I fell asleep.
