Damaged Beyond Repair (Student/ Teacher) ✔️

Chapter 26

BANG! BANG!

"OPEN THE DOOR, ALANA, I'M WARNING YOU!" Rowan barked from the other side.

I peeked out of the window and swallowed hard.

Yeah. It was stupid of me to think I could go superman from the ninth floor. At least I had my phone with me. There was little to absolutely no time until Rowan ninja-kicked the door. I had to think fast, calling Nina and asking for help wouldn't be such a great idea, I'd only worry her. Calling Chez would only put more fuel into the fire which is to say he'd find a reason to rub it in with a 'told you so.'

Nah!

I dialed Claire's number, it hit the recording, "The number you have dialed is not reachable, please try again later."

Of course, Claire was probably a thousand feet above the ground. My life depended solely on Dwight, if he did not answer my call, I'd have to dial the main house.

Thankfully, Dwight's phone rang.

Once.

Twice.

"Hello beautiful, just been two weeks and you're already calling me. Didn't think you'd actually take the brother switch idea so seriously." Dwight chuckled on the other end, "So...what's the occasion?"

"Dwight, you need to cut the comedy. I need your help."

"Is everything alright?" Dwight's cheerful tone had dispersed, "Let me rephrase the question, is Rowan posing a threat to your mere existence?"

"Rowan...he..he's been drinking and smoking hash and..." I began to tear up again.

"ALANA." Bang! Rowan pounded on the door making finch.

"What was that?" Dwight asked.

"I don't know what to do or what will calm him down. Rowan's been very aggressive. He cut himself, Dwight. I managed to lock Minnie and myself in her room but I'm not sure how long the door can stand him. He'll break it any minute now." I bit back the tears, I wasn't weak, "Dwight, I'm scared."

Dwight let out a sigh, "See, your 'I'm-gonna-be-Rowan's-savoir' plan is biting you back in the ass."

"Dwight!"

"Listen, let Rowan do whatever the fuck he wants. Pay him no heed even if he screams or bangs on the door, he will pass out in a while. Just don't provoke him. Stay behind the closed door and the situation will smooth out. I'm on my way."

Relief washed over me, "How much time would it take you to reach here?"

"At least an hour."

I cringed.

"Where is Minnie?"

"She is with me."

"Good, I will try my best to reach as fast as I can, until then will you promise me to stay strong and handle the situation?"

"Yes." My voice wavered.

"Okay, I'm on my way. Keep me updated on the situation and don't worry. You're gonna be fine."

Dwight hung up on me first. Minnie poked her head from below the bed, "Can I com out, Alana?"

"No. Stay." I told her as I climbed on my feet and kneeled close to the door, attaching my ear on it. I heard Rowan retreat and a second later his footsteps neared the door. I waited for the blow but there was just a soft knock.

"Baby, please open the door." I felt him press against the wood, "I just want to talk."

I stopped myself from going onto a fit of sobs.
