What is Love?

Chapter 4

Elena's pov

I woke up from a deep sleep and heard glasses shattering. I stood up in horror knowing that means one thing, Dad is home, and eventually this is going to be hell for both mom and I. I woke up and checked the time. It's 3, I stood up and opened the door slowly. I had to go help mom before the man gets out of hand. Kyle isn't home, he had a business trip and both mom and I begged him to go and assured him that we'll be fine. I heard screaming from downstairs, I ran there to find my father standing up while mom is lying down sobbing. He tried to punch mom but I went infront of her and took the punch. I could see the anger in his face.

"STAY OUT OF THIS" He yelled as he slapped me so hard that I fell on the floor. I wasn't very strong. I always needed Kyle to be there for me. I turned only to see him kicking mom on her stomach, once, twice, thrice. I stood up to push him away from her but that only made it worse. He held my hair strongly and banged my head on the table. I felt blood rolling down on my forehead. I was helpless, I couldn't help my mom and now I can't even move. I see a blurred image of my mom running towards me and my eyes close.

"She is going to be okay, you are lucky she didn't lose blood." I heard a voice but I couldn't recognize who it was. I tried to open my eyes but they were so heavy. So, I sat there with my eyes closed. I could here everything but I couldn't move.

"Kyle" I heard my mom's voice, she was crying. 

"How is she?" I heard Kyle's voice too, He came back. I could here him sobbing. I felt so vulnerable. I couldn't comfort the only people I care about. I gave up trying to open my eyes and fell asleep.

I finally opened my eyes and I was in my room. I must have passed out the whole day because It was dark. I turned to the other side of the bed and fell asleep. It's nice to finally have some peace and silence.

"Do you think she is still alive?" 

"Ofcourse she is you idiot, she is breathing"

I opened my eyes to find Kyle and Mom

"I told you she was alive" Mom gave a slap on Kyle's head and hugs me.

"How are you?" She asked smiling, i missed her.

"Am Okay" I smiled back. "How long was I gone?" 

"Two weeks" Kyle said as he sat on the edge of my bed.

"What day is it?"

"Sunday"

"I need pizza and ice cream" I pout.

"Got that covered" He goes out and comes back with two pizzas and a large tab of ice cream with spoons. I really missed these guys. This always happens but this time, I passed out, Most of the time I end up with bruises and dad just leaves the house and comes back after five months or so, no one really cares. My mom stills loves him though, No matter what he does. She still loves him. 

************************************************************************************

Next morning.

Kyle dropped me at school today and to be honest, I'm not feeling it. I just want to go back home and cuddle with my blanket for eternity. I head for my locker,I found Dylan standing right on the spot making out with Melissa. 'EW'

"Excuse me, can you move you are blocking my locker?" He looked shocked as if He didn't expect me to come to school today.

"Hey Elena, I heard you weren't feeling so good, Are you okay?" Melissa asked. Melissa was one of those girls that act nice infront of guys but honestly, she doesn't give a fuck about anything.

"Am okay, can you please move. I want to take out my books" frankly, I liked Dylan,A long time back, now he is just like the same old typical fuck boy and that was a major turn off. 

"Oh right" He said rubbing his hand on his neck.

"Yeah" I opened my locker and took out my English book. A part of me wanted to kill Melissa and perform a sex change on Dylan but another part of me just didn't care. I was too tired to say anything. 

"So, Elena. Are you ready to continue with the Art project?" Dylan has the nerve to ask. The last time I went to his house. We did nothing. He was too lazy to even think of something. I just smile as a sign of assuring him that am just cool with anything.  I close my locker and walk past them, I'm not planning on going to class today, so I'm going to bunk and just write some poems and whatnot. I head back to my locker and started looking for my notepad and for fucks sake, I couldn't remember where I kept it. I've been sleeping beauty for the past two weeks and I forgot where my notepad was.

"oh no no no no" I sat down trying to remember where was the last time I remembered having it. Shit,At Dylan's. I must have forgotten it at Dylan's place. 

"Is everything okay?" I jump back out of confusion, I don't want to share my stories with anyone. I'm better off on my own.

"Yeah, everything is cool" I look back at Dylan. "I just misplaced something, have you by any chance seen a notepad anywhere here?"

"No, not here but I did see a notepad back at home" he said smirking. Why in the world is he smirking? I want to punch his face and misplace his jawline so bad.

"Okay, then give it back"

"Well, you didn't think I would just hand it to you, I want something in return." smirking again. Stupid fuck boys and their smirking. Why do they have to make everything hard. Would he have died If he just handed my notepad back.?

"okay, what do you want?" he was getting on my nerves now.

"A date. Pick you up at 8"

"Wait, I didn't say yes" I look at him with my arms crossed. " I don't want your girlfriend to hate me!"

"Melissa and I aren't a thing and as for your notepad, you are getting it back after the date, bye now beautiful" 

Okay, a bunch of things are going through my head. I'm going on a date with the hottest guy in school who also happened to be my bestfriend back in the days but he doesn't remember anything about me but he will once he opens the notepad that has all the memories written down as poems. 'oh God help me'
