Falling For The Good Girl

Chapter 16- Scouts Honor

After stuffing our faces with a couple pounds of chocolate, I can gladly say that I feel better. We got home at around 7:30 and his dad was a little mad, I could hear him yelling.

"Blake where the hell were you?!"

"I was out dad"

"Don't take that tone with me! You know damn well that you have to call me" Tyler shouts and Blake chuckles

"No I don't dad, I'm going to be 18 in a couple months, I am almost an adult so I won't have to be a burden on you anymore!" There is a loud thud and I jump in fear.

A few minutes later, Blake comes upstairs with his lip busted. He runs into the bathroom to clean his face and then he comes back and sits next to me with tears in his eyes.

I grab his hand and say "I'm here for you, it's okay"

"He's always like this. I don't even know why" a tear falls down his face and I wipe it away with my thumb

"We never know why things happen, we just know that they do happen. But it's not your fault" he nods

"I just feel like I'm always being attacked you know?"

I nod. Just like I felt with mom. "How long has it been happening?"

"Since my mom died"

"I'm sorry to hear that. I know how you feel, but like I said you have to know that it's not your fault" he looks confused

"What do you mean?" I sigh. This is it Ivy. Tell him the one thing you have sworn off speaking about.

"It was happening ever since I was nine. My mom used to get angry over the smallest things and she would beat me. I'm pretty sure that she did it to Mason too but he never talked about it. I tried to shield Aiden and Luke from it, but that didn't work well the night she died. That night, Aiden and I were each going to take something from our parents to on our first dates... Our mom found out and I tried to tell her that it was Aiden but she didn't listen and she beat me in front of him. We were fighting that night in the car and the last thing I said was that I hated her"

He sighs. "Wow, I had no idea. I'm sorry-"

"Don't be, it's not your fault and it's not mine either. It's hers. We don't know why the people we love do hateful things and we don't understand them either. We just know that it happens and we have to accept it" My phone rings and the caller ID says Main Bitch💕 I tell Blake it's Layla and he nods.

"Hey Layla-"

"Ivy! I need your guidance, your brother is being so-"

"He likes you Lay, trust me I read his journal, don't tell him I said that. Just trust me, I'll talk to him for you" she squeals

"Really? Oh thanks so much Ives!" I chuckle and reply "no problem" I hang up and dial Aiden.

"Yo Ivy where are you?" He asks worriedly

"I'm at Blake's, I'm staying here until Sabrina decides to leave" I spat angrily and he chuckles

"You know they are getting married-"

"Don't remind me" I roll my eyes

"Ives?"

"Yeah, what is it?"

"They are getting married on Valentine's Day-"

"They are getting married in my birthday?! Wow even more awesome! I bet it was her idea" I spat angrily and he chuckles. "Look, are you going to ask Layla out or what?"
