Bad Boys and Good Girls

Chapter 9

A few boring days has passed. I've read books, watched TV shows, even clean my room. For the past few nights I find myself on my balcony looking up at the stars. Wishing on the brightest one. Its odd but I can't help it.

"Why are you always on your lazy butt?!" she screams. I took this by surprise. My eyes widen as she steps closer. "You don't ever do anything around here!" tears were threatening to fall. Don't say it, please don't say it.
"You are the worst thing that has ever happened to me!" she smacks me hard across the face. I fall to the floor and touch my cheek. I look at my hand and find blood. I look up to her in horror.

Her face softens knowing what she had done was a mistake. I get up and grab my hoodie and run outside bolting down the street tears filling my eyes. I hear my name shouting in the background. I don't stop. I run through the dark night all the way to the blossom tree.

"Violet. Wake up!" someone shook me. I only mumble. A deep voice chuckles. My eyes shoot open. I look at the blanket over me. What the hell this isn't mine. I look around. This house isn't mine either. I start panicking until a hand hold mine. I froze, slowly turning around to see the kidnapper. I stare into a handsome Gabe Parker. I shot up in the bed.

"Violet it's okay, I'm not here to hurt you." he says with his hands up in surrender.

"How did I get here?" I ask trying to rethink last night's event.

"Last night I was walking in the park and I found you sleeping by a cherry blossom tree. " he explains grabbing a chair and sitting on it backwards. Everything came back to me like a brick. I couldn't control my tears. Soon I was crying in a bed with Gabe holding me.

"Shhhhh.... Vi what happened? You alright?" he cooes while rocking me.

I shuttered trying to find the words. "M-my mom and I g-got in a f-fight."
When he motioned to go on, so I did. "S-she s-smacked me." I cried harder. He tenses when he hears 'smacked' I cried for a long time.

Reality came back to me. I started controlling my break out. I sat up and wipes my eyes. "I got your shirt wet." I said looking at his shirt. He laughs.

"You are crying and your worried about my shirt being wet." he smiled with amusement. But I started visioning the smack. "she was right, I am the worst daughter." tears started again.

"No Vi don't cry." he wiped of the tears on my cheek with his thumb. I froze at his touch. It was warm. I looked up at him. He smiled at me then retracted his hand. "Sorry... Um you must be hungry. I'll go get you something. " he stood awkwardly, then disappeared.

I touched the my cheek, where he put his hand. I starting to like guys again..... Dammnit.

After breakfast I met Gabe's mother. She was really nice and kind. I kept wondering why Gabe took me to his house, I hardly see him doing nice things. I thought it was all about sports. But I might be wrong.

"Hey I called your friend. She'll be here in like 3 minutes." Gabe says breaking me from my thoughts.

Wait he has her number? "Oh ok." I simply say and put away the dishes helping his mother out.

We sat in his living room when Tess pulls up. Her mother just honks signaling she too lazy to come to the door. Gabe and I rose from the couch and walked me to the door. Before I stepped outside I turned and faced Gabe. "Thank you Gabe. And again sorry for ruining your shirt." I say.

He chuckles. "Its fine, and your welcome." It was awkward at that second we both were trying to figure out to with shake hands, hug, or wave off. So I fist bumped him. "That will be our new thing." I smiled.

"So it shall." he smiles.

"Bye."

"See you later Vi." I turned and smiled when he used my nickname. It made me feel warm inside.

"oooooo someone has a crush on you." Tess says the minute I get into her car.

"Shut up."

I was still shaken up about my mother. So I wanted to stay with Tess for a bit to clam me down. Her mother was completely fine with it, but she was going to inform my mom about my whereabouts.

"Okay, let's start from the beginning. What happened? " she says cautiously.

"I stole Aladdin's lamp, and my mother got mad." I replied fake smiling. She gave me the 'really?' face. "ok, ok. Well I was just in my room reading a book on wattpad. She came home and checked what everyone was doing. My dad told me she had a really bad day at work, but I didn't think she would take it out on me. I thought she would vent to my dad." I explained, Tessa nods along listening. She motioned me to go on.

I took a deep breath, trying to no let the tears come out. "She walked into my room, and I smiled at her but immediately dropped it. Her face told me something was wrong. But I didn't know what. She went off about how I eat too much, why I'm lazy, that I'm not like the other girls, I'm the outsider.." Tess puts her hand over mine and squeezes it for comfort. I gave her a sad smile. And continued, "and then for some reason. She smacks me across the face, thus the red spot on my cheek. Gabe helped it heal too. I ran down to the park and cried myself to sleep under the blossom tree. And woke up at Gabe's house. He told me he was strolling by and found me. He carried me to his house. Then I had a emotional break down and ruined his shirt." Tess smiles.

"I am glad he looked after you." she said hugging me.

"Me too."

××××××××××××

Want me to go in with you?" Tess offers.

"Nah, it's ok. I can do this by myself. " I said looking at my front door.

"Ok, if something goes wrong you got my number. Or go back to Gabe's." she instructed.

"I know. Thank you." I said and hugged her goodbye.

I watched her back out of my driveway. When I could see her anymore I turned around and faced the door. I hesitated for a moment, then slowly reached to the handle, turned it and pushed the door opened.

"Violet!"
