Forbidden Love

He woke up that morning with her still beside him, and he smiled. She was still fast asleep and cuddled into him. He moved her off him, and she almost woke up, luckily she didn’t.Victoria turned over in her sleep as Stephan got off the bed. He needed to talk to his dad today. He had to sort all this out. Quickly he wrote up a note forVictoria for when she woke up and then he left to go talk to his dad. He left the room, looking back to see her turn again, and then he closed the door and headed to his dad’s office, unsure on what was going to happen next.

Looking at the office door he was thinking about how the best and worst moments of his life had happened in that room, all in a span of a few days and hours too. He warily knocked on the door and didn’t get an answer. He waited a few moments before walking in. There was a noise in the background somewhere so he yelled, “Dad! I know you’re in here; I need to talk to you. Now. Get out here.” It took a few seconds for him to come, but when he did it was like he came out of nowhere and scared Stephan.

“Ah, there you are son.”

“Yes, I’m here.”

“I watched those videos, I’m glad you came to your senses finally.”

“That’s what I’m here to talk about.”

“Oh? Why is that? Everything is done with, is it not?”

“No. Not everything is done.”

“Well what’s left to finish?”

“I can’t do it.”

“Sure you can, you don’t need some girl to be happy.”

“I think I do. Do you know what she did yesterday?”

“Yes, I watched those videos. I know what she did.”

“Well I love her and she loves me…so I can’t leave her.”

“You may think you love her, but you really don’t. She may tell you she loves you, but that’s only to get what she wants from you. Can’t you see that?”

“She wouldn’t ever do that. I know she wouldn’t. She really loves me.”

“Okay, fine then. Think what you want. Now what did you want me to know she did last night, was there something particular that you want to point out?”

“She came to me, after school and went in my room.”

“And?”

“She slept with me.”

“What?!”

“I told her we had to break up, and she started crying and everything, and I was comforting her and she fell asleep, so I let her sleep there. We didn’t do anything.”

“Why are you telling me this?”

“Because, when she fell asleep, I realized something.”

“What’s that?”

“I would do anything to have her there again. Anything. I wouldn’t give up that feeling for anything in the world. I want her there everyday for the rest of my life. I love her and I’m not letting you take her away from me.”

“Son,” he said walking closer and pulling out something out of his pocket, “it seems like you aren’t going to obey me. Is this true?”

“Yes, it’s true. I’m not giving her up.”

“You do know disobeying children must be punished, right?”

“I’m willing to take anything you have to throw at me, as long as I get to keep her.”

“We’ll see if you get to keep anything after this,” he said pulling out a knife, and Stephan instantly did the same.

Victoriawoke up and rolled over and noticed that Stephan wasn’t there. She was worried until she saw a letter left on the bedside table with her name on it.

Victoria,

            I’ve left to go talk to my father. I need to get things straight with him. I’m not loosing you. Not after all we’ve just been though. I will get to keep you. I don’t know when I’ll be back, just sleep. Don’t worry about me; I’ll make this right for us.

Love, Stephan

 

She knew this would go wrong. She knew how Mr. Robertson could get if he didn’t get his way. He got his way most of the time, but when he didn’t…all hell broke loose. She jumped out of bed and headed down the hallway to his office. She was half running and almost running into the other students in the halls. She got to the room to notice that the door was locked. That was never a good sign. ‘Screw it’ she thought and back up to the wall, took a deep breathe, and ran towards the door. BANG. Yeah…nothing happened. Nothing left to do but try to kick it. That didn’t work either. She leaned up against the door, and slightly hit the door knob. It opened.

She was almost hit by knives. Knives that were being thrust towards father and son. Stephan saw that she was there and looked away for only a moment, but the moment was long enough for his father to get a good sized scratch on his arm. He turned and put his hand on it where his blood was now flowing. Mr. Robertson looked at it too, he noticed what he had done, and that was just enough time forVictoriato smack the knife out of his hand and elbow him in the stomach. She then grabbed Stephan’s arm which wasn’t bleeding and she took him out of the room, grabbed a chair from the other side of the hall, put it up against the door in hopes that Mr. Robertson couldn’t get out, and then they left.
