My First Crush

Chapter 22: TRUTH

Hi everyone, I like to warn young readers that there is a harsh topic I will be dealing from now onwards and I hope that you stop reading if it is too much and hope you are not disappointed.

Cece´s Pov

F*ck it! Really I was not wearing the stupid bandage to school. When I arrived with Evan at my house with a bandage wrapping my forehead they went really mad… Not that I care actually that they grounded me for not calling them and coming late but Evan looked pretty pissed.

The hospital wasn´t that bad actually… Evan handled everything, I hadn´t had to lie or answer any question he did it all for me and it was a huge lift off my shoulders… He was still annoying as he asked me “How are you feeling?” at least thirty times and toward the end of the night it started to piss me off.

So back to the bandages… my parents had already left to work so there is no big deal, covering the wound would have been easy with mascara, but Evan was totally going to kill me… It shall be fun…

“Cece.” Evan harshly called me when I was talking my books off my locker.

“So nice to see you this bright morning Evan.” I told him with a fake over reacted joy. I was totally not expecting what happened next but it did. He grabbed my arm and pushed me against a wall pressing his body tightly against mine. He let go of my arm but I still couldn´t free myself… My breathing rate increased and I started shaking as memories flashed into my head.

His hand moved my hair just like last night and he started saying “Damn Cece you will infect it even more! Why can´t you never follow what they tell you…”

I know he was just taking care of my wound but my eyes went blind and I was struggling to keep myself calm. It is just Evan, Evan, Evan… I tried to repeat it to myself but it was too late the whole memory I had buried popped into my head and I started screaming.

Evan´s POV

“… there was no need in taking the bandage off…” I was telling her but I stopped when she started screaming. What the hell!?

I realized how my body was pressing against her so I figured her legs might have been hurting but… no, it was not that, they were almost healed.

I looked at her face again and she was red, screaming “Stop! Please stop…” It was more like a begging and she was shaking badly, I couldn´t get closer because she became even more violent if I touched her. What happened?

I was frightened and worried while tears kept running down her cheeks.

“Cece you are safe.” I started saying slowly in a quiet sweet voice “Cece I´m Evan, calm down everything is fine”- the screams stopped replaced by slow sobs.

“Cece lisent to me, you are s.a.f.e, calm down… everything will be fine.” she opened her eyes and covered her mouth with her hands in horror as if she had been woken up from a nightmare. She seemed so fragile and afraid, I couldn´t stop myself, I knew  that from a start she started this seizure because of me, but I couldn´t help it, I had to held her in my arms again.

She buried her head in my chest sobbing “Sorry Evan, sorry I´m so sorry…”

“Shhh… it´s okay, it´s okay” I whispered kissing her bloody forehead.

“We shouldn´t been ditching school.” Cece´s still fragile voice told me.
