Walking home wasn't very fun, my stomach was getting more and more uneasy with every step. I should be fine, Aiden doesn't even know where I live. Or does he?
I still can't belive Aiden was the boy who always bullied me. I was beaten by my own father everyday just to come to school and have him beat on my some more. And now he wants to make up for it?
I shouldn't even let him talk to me for what he did.
But then again.. he felt bad for my wrist.. he thinks it was his fault when it wasn't..
I can't hold that against Aiden. Wish I could actually tell him the truth. Maybe he won't tell anyone. No, Cynthia you can't risk it. As soon as father hears the police sirens,he will kill me before they can even kick down the door. He doesn't care about going to jail.
HONNNKKKK.
I jump as I hear someone lay their hand on their car horn.
What the hell.
"Hey neighbor!"
That voice is familiar..
"Don't forget about our date tonight! "
What.
I turn to my left, I had just walked up to the door and see Aiden next door.
Since when.. what.. why..
"See you at 7!"
I groan as I turn the door knob. How.. will I ever convince dad to let me go out. I'm only aloud going to the store to buy groceries. That's it.
"Bout time you got home."
SMASH
there goes a beer bottle.
I toss my back pack onto the couch,"hey dad. How was your day? "
"Annoying. Like you."
Ha,good one dad.
"Oh.."
"Really? Just oh?"
I yelp as I'm taken to the ground by my hair.
"Is that all you can say!? Oh!?"
Then a scream slips from my mouth as dad kicks me in my rib cage.
"Shut your mouth!"
Kick,kick,kick,dad stop..
The kicks finally stop,I struggle to sit up from the hard kicks to my stomach and ribs.
Everything I do is wrong. I screw up everything. I didn't know what else to say..
"P-please.. stop.."
"I'm only stopping because I don't want to break your ribs again. The hospital almost didn't believe my excuse last time." I can hear his ugly smirk in his voice.
I look up at my father's terrible face. Why does he have to do this to me? I try to do whatever he says. I never run, never tell anyone, I keep my mouth shut. And he still hurts me like I'm just a little rag doll.
"Get out of here."
Quickly,I struggle to get up, but I manage. Walki- scratch that. Limping to my room is a pain. I'm used to it though. I've put up with this for years.. and years.. and years.
It will never end. I will die here some day. It's coming soon,I know it is. I'm worthless to him and everyone else. I'm all by myself again. Mother is dead, Harry is never coming back. Left here to die by the only people who have ever cared about me. Life is nothing. I have no happiness. I have..
Nothing..
If only I could escape. But he will always find me. No where to run, no where to hide.
He has me, and he knows I can't and won't leave.
Knock knock
"Cyyyyynthia.."
My attention goes to my window. AIDEN!?
I quickly run to my window, slowly opening it.
"What the hell are you doing here?!"
"It's time for our date remember?"
I look at the clock, it is 7.. I can't tell dad I'm leaving.
I look at Aiden with sad eyes, he looks so happy.
"Can I come on."
My eyes widen, he will see all the blood stains covering my walls.
"Umm,not now. I.. I'll be down in two minutes." I force a smile, he can't know about me. He can't know me..
"Oh,ok." His smile weakens,but his teeth are still shining brightly.
"Be out soon." I close the window quickly, shutting my blinds.
Grabbing my sneakers I walk to my bed,stuffing pillows under my blanket.
Dad might not bother me if he thinks I'm sleeping. Hopefully.
I open the window back up, crawling out,and leaving a gap so I can get back in later.
Crawling down the side of the house, I curse to myself as I almost slip a few times.
"Be careful princess!"
My blood starts to boil. Don't.. call.. me.. prin-SHOOT.
My hands slips causing me to fall. I get dizzy as I fall. Oh my god.
I close my eyes just as I feel a pair of hands grab onto me.
"Gotcha!"
I grin as I look up to see Aidens face. He.. he caught me.
Holding me wedding style he starts walking over to his house, setting me down gently in front of his car on the passengers side.
"Th-thanks.."
"You're welcome sweetheart." Heat rushes to my cheeks. God,I probably look like a tomato. Cynthia,calm down.
I can't help it though. No guy has ever treated me this well. I've always been scared of men. I hate when they touch me, yet.. I have let Aiden with no problem. And he is one of the men who made my life hell.
Aiden.
He made my life hell.
The words repeat in my head over and over. I'm in a car with a guy I barley know. But I have this feeling running through my body that is giving me a rush I feel so.. frozen but wild.
I've never done anything like this. I like this excitement. Aiden probably thinks this is boring right now. But.. I have the biggest thrill ever.
