The Bully falls for his Victim

additional chapter: bathroom

-bathroom-

"This bath is huuuge!" He sat in the bath.

I sat on the opposite side of the bath, "it's not that big.." I said.

"Oh?" He said.

"The one in my room is the biggest one in the house.." I said.

"Really? I thought your mum would have the biggest one," he said.

"She swapped rooms with me after my dad left," I said.

"Why'd your dad leave?" He asked.

"Well.. He hasn't really left as such.." I said, "he comes back to see Heidi.."

"Why not you?"

"I can't be in the same house as him," I shrugged.

He looked at me really confused.

"Mum put a restraining order against my dad for me," I said.

"Really? Why?" He asked.

"I don't want to take about that," I said and ran my fingers across the bruises on my arms.

"Does he ever break the restraining order?" He frowned.

"No.." I said.

"Listen, I'm not going to believe any of that bullshit Zane," he said, "if I didn't cause all these bruises then someone else did."

I curled up and tried to ignore him.

"Answer me!" He demanded.

"I don't want to!" I said. I could sense he was getting angry.

"How are you going to get over it if you won't talk to someone about it?" He said.

"Because you can't get over something that keeps happening.." I said, "he shows up without telling mum a-and he stays over a-and.." I stopped talking before I cried.

"Can I hug you?" He asked.

"You can't ask me that when were in this situation," I said holding back my tears. I knew my voice was shaking.

He frowned, grabbed my hand and pulled me onto his lap.

"Asshole!" I growled.

He chuckled and tightly wrapped his arms around me.

"Let go!" I said, "I don't need this."

"You do," he said.

We didn't say anything to each other after that.

~time skip~

I got changed and went to my room to go to bed.

I took all of my art stuff off my bed and packed it into my bag.

"Zane," Layne whispered from my door.

"I can't get away from you.." I groaned.

"Can I sleep in here?" He asked.

"Why? Are you unable to sleep on your own in a room?" I asked.

"My mates are okay with it," he replied.

"No," I sighed, "go back into the spa-" I was cut off by his lips touching mine again.

He pushed me onto my bed and immediately cuddled up to me, "you're a great pillow."

"How can someone who is my size and weight be a great pillow?" I frowned.

"Shhh," he covered my mouth with his hands and went to sleep.
