His Golden Rose

Chapter 2

Yasmine's Pov

I felt a cool cloth been placed on the top of my head. I tried to peel my eyes open but they felt extremely heavy, especially my left eye. Besides from opening my eyes I could hear voices.

"No. I'll ring her mum and see if she can stay at my house a bit for the week."

That sounded like Paige -

"Okay just don't let her find out what happened before."

Now I know that Paige and Rase are here but find out about what? What are they talking about?

"Alright. I'll stay here, you go to class now and take some notes for us." I can tell Paige sounds stress.

"Okay, I'll see you after class." once the door closed I slowly peeled my eyes open adjusting it to see a bright light shinning down on my face. Where the hell am I?

I turned my head to my left and my heart broke at the sight of my best friend.

Paige had dried tears on her face with red puffy eyes looking out the window. I haven't even realised she was holding my hand to her mouth. I used my finger to tickle her nose to grab her attention.

She flinched but then crushed me into a hug like never before but I ignoring the pain in my chest. I rubbed her back to assure her it's okay. Pulling away to take a peek at her face.

"You scared the shit out of me! I never thought this would happen, I really though it was going to stop." She looked down to her lap with a face of guilt.

I placed my hand on top of hers and pat it, "I'm okay now, I'm still living and breathing."

"Yeah but you don't look fine." I roll my eyes and gave her a hard punch on the knee.

"Damn woman! After what happen you still have a hard hit."

"I look fine no matter what" I smirked knowingly what I'm capable of. 

"Do you mind tell me what happened?"

I turn my gaze to the clock.

2:24pm

"Have I been out for an hour!" I asked in disbelief. She nodded, "yep but you haven't answered my question."

I sighed, I couldn't remember anything until it all hit me at once. Liam and the boys hit me with so force I blacked out.

"I was walking up the path from class to my locker until Liam caused a scene," I paused when I remember what happened next, "Then he, Josh and Ryder came up and shoved me down and started hitting me."

Paige sighed and closed her eyes, putting her head in her hands.

"This has to stop," she mumbled it so low I just caught it, "This is going on for four years and you did nothing but give everyone respect. You don't deserve this."

I couldn't talk. Words were stuck in my throat, choking me.

Turning my gaze down towards my body, I was changed into Rase's black singlet and tights. She was the only one of us that brings spare clothes to school. I lift my head up to see over my huge mountains, my singlet is raised just beneath my breast.

I have a large bandage rapped around my stomach when I saw a large spot where blood was oozing. I laid my head back down and closed my eyes, letting sleep take over.

~~~

I'm thankful Paige called up mum to ask for me to stay over at hers for a week. I don't want to see her face when I walk through the front door.

At the moment Paige and I are babysitting her brothers and sisters. Saying they all love me is an understanding I mean come on, what child doesn't love me.

Paige's mum helped me with the pain and bruises, I'm thanking God that nothing major happened to me and my black eye is healing fast.

"You hungry?" I turned to Paige sitting on the couch with her baby brother. I roll my eyes "Is that even a question?" she let out an airy laugh.

I was calling up for Pizza when I just remembered.

"Shit! I forgot I start my shift tomorrow." How the fuck did I forget I start work! Mindy the manager of Kmart is a good friend of mine but she gets pissed if her employees skip or forget to come in. I think she's gonna fire me one day.

Paige giggled at my stupidity, "At least I'm not the one working at McDonalds" I smirked, bingo got her, I can tell you she looks pissed.

"Shut up! Your job is to hard to get into" I rolled my eyes and chuckled, mumbling "That's what she said"

Looking at the person I call a friend, she's gaping at me like I lost my head. "YOU'RE SICK!"

Rolling my eyes, "Shut up. Now, do you want pizza or not? And what kind?"

She crossed her arms and huff, "Hawaiian" I smirked knowing she can't say no to food.

"See that wasn't so hard" I smiled at her while dialling the number and held the phone to my ear.

She walked past me to the kitchen, "I hate you"

"And I love you too." I said with grand smirk.

~~~

Saying the last week was shit stuffed in a bag full of buttholes is understanding.

I haven't been back to school or work since but my face is now fully healed with a touch of make-up. And yup I got fired. I texted and called my mum early in the morning saying I'm coming home after school.

The bruises on my stomach haven't fade away yet but they turned into a big dark shade of ugly purple. At least I'm not the kind of person that shows off my body like the sluts at this school.

Right now I'm in first period and temperature has not gone down one bit. I'm wearing my white V-cut t-shirt with my rolled up jeans and pink converses. I have a lot of clothes kept at Paige's house so it wasn't a problem getting myself covered.

My business teacher, Mr. Blane blurs something about accounting and how it is something that can change your life. I don't really listen to him since my dad is one. He taught me all there is about being one.

Rase nudges my arm, "Do you even need to know what comes out of his mouth?" I shook my head, "Nope don't need to."

She smiled, "Remind me to ask for your dads notes," I gave her a nod and turned my gaze towards the window. Since I came back from school I've grown more anxious.

Damien Knight

Even his name gives me shivers down my spine. Everyone in the school is still talking about him and curiosity is beating its way through me. Somehow I just can't get rid of this feeling in my gut, something bad but good.

Why did he leave? What happens when he recognises me? Will he make my life more miserable? Will he beat me like the boys did? Will he cause me more trouble? 

I flinched and return my gaze to a worried looking Rase with her hand on my shoulder, "Hey you okay? You're looking a bit pale in this heat."

Shaking my thoughts away I gave her a nod, "I'm fine really, I'm just...thinking about Damien." I said mumbling his name.

She nodded her head for understanding me, "Don't worry Yasmine, you'll -

The door slammed open cutting off whatever Rase was gonna say. In came a good looking guy, like a good looking one, a God, wearing black baggy jeans with a tight white t-shirt showing his tan biceps. He had brown hair looking so soft to touch and his eyes, deep chocolate orbs drawing me in. He looks familiar.

But what Mr. Blane said next made my skin run cold.

"How nice of you to finally join us Mr. Damien Knight."
