The King's Queen✔

9. Lia

The time with Eros went way too quickly. We talked and talked while eating ice cream. Eros, he is so sweet. With him, all my sadness and feeling of being unwanted disappears, he makes me whole. As much as I'm happy about it, it scares me. I'm scared if I get too addicted and depended on his sweetness and gentleness just him in general, it will wreck me completely when he leaves or changes. And I can't let myself be more hurt. I'm scared of new feelings which I feel about him. I need to be distant from him. If not then possibly in just a few meetings, he would know a part of me which no one knows exist - a part of real me. I need to keep myself safe from getting hurt. My thoughts were stopped when I heard the voice which I despise and haven't heard in while my father.

"Where are you, bitch? I'm hungry" He screeched.

I didn't answer and just went down. I started making him something to eat.
But I was dragged back by my arm.

"Answer me, bitch" he said while pulling my hair.

"Yes, yes"

"Yes, what?"

"Yes-yes Sir" I stammered.

"Better," he said and went after slapping me hard and I fell down. I stood up and made him something to eat and went inside my room welcomed the tears and cried myself to sleep.

I woke up and did my routine including some beatings. And went to school. Two months then probably I would be free from abuse.

"Hey, Lia," someone said and touched my shoulder. I flinched unconsciously. I looked back and saw Mason who was smiling. I looked at him in confusion.

"Lia?" I questioned.

"Ame -Lia. Lia" he said slowly as if talking to a child.

"I know that. But my name is Amelia" I said.

"I know. It's your nickname. I'll call you Lia from now on" he said proudly.

I was shocked. "Why?" I said in a small voice.

"Because you are my friend. And a friend can call each other by their nicknames" he said while shrugging his shoulders.

I don't know what to say so I just nodded and smiled. I didn't have any friends in a long time so it was a bit weird for me.

"Now your turn," he said.

"My turn for what?" I asked.

"Your turn to give me a nickname "

"Hmm let me think. " I thought what should I call him. But was stopped when the bell rang.

"You can tell me later. Bye see you around" Mason said and went. And I continued to go and attend the class.

The day went in a blur and I went to my another job - a waitress in a diner. I walked and reached Sam's Dine, my working place from Monday to Wednesday. I kept my things in the locker room and went outside.

"Hey, Amelia" Juliet my Co-worker greeted me.

"Hey, Juliet" I greeted her back.

"Your table numbers for today are 1, 2, 5 and 7"

"Okay, thanks. " I said and started doing my job. But was stopped when someone approached me. I turned back and was greeted by green eyes which I am too familiar with. I was surprised to see them here.

"Hey, beautiful." he greeted me with a smile. And after hearing the endearment I blushed. But then snapped back and narrowed my eyes on him.

"What are you doing here, Eros? Are you following me?" I asked.

"No, I didn't follow you. I didn't even know you worked over here. I just came here with some of my friends" he said with a small smirk and pointed to the table where some guys were watching us and after seeing me watching them, they smiled and waved their hands.

"Okay, then. I should get going" I said and went to the orders.

"Amelia, can you please go and take care of table 3 for me. I gotta go somewhere and don't worry this table will be cared for by someone else" Juliet pleaded. I nodded and went to table 3. It was the same table where Eros and his friends were seated. I went there and began my job.

"Hello and welcome to Sam's dine. What can I get for you all?" I said in a confident voice. And then everyone greeted me with 'heys' and 'hellos '.

"I'll have a cheeseburger with fries. " the guy with blonde hair said.

"I'll have pepperoni pizza." the guy with dark brown hair said.

"And I'll also have a cheeseburger with fries. " Mason said with a grin. I nodded and gave my attention to Eros, who was staring at me with something unfamiliar look in his eyes.

"And you, sir?" I asked him. He still didn't say anything just stared at me.
He was snapped out of his trance when the guy with blonde hair cleared his throat loudly.

"I'll have chicken and cheese roll with a chocolate milkshake."

"Okay is that all or would you like anything else ?"

"No. That will be all" The blonde hair guy replied.

"Fine. I'll get it for you guys " I said and excused myself and handed the order to the chef. While he was making it I went to another table. And greeted them. There were some teenagers.

"What would you like to order?" I asked politely.

"You" he replied cockily who was also winking at me. I got angry as well as nervous.

"What would you like to eat?" I cleared my throat and asked again.

"And I said to you. I would like to order and eat you" the same guy said while others chuckled. I became more nervous.

"Yes, actually we all want you." another one said.

"Look at that damn ass," another one said. Then he was hit by someone. I looked and saw.
