His Golden Rose

Chapter 13

Yasmine's Pov

I should be kinda use to the pain but really, I'm not.

My skin literally feels like it's on fire, I can't even feel my face. 

My eyes blinked open, welcoming a bright light shining down onto my face. I brought my hand up to my head and felt a soft but rough material. 

What the fudge nuggets happened?

"Rise and shine sleepy head" a voice made my senses become more alert. I sat up so fast, the world began to spin. 

"Woah easy there" a hand was put on my shoulder keeping me steady. Once I got my vision back, it was Kane's hand on my shoulder. My eyebrows started to furred together when I saw I was on a couch instead of the forest floor.

"What happened?" my voice croaked.

Kane looked hesitated to answer "You were found in the forest all beaten up then we brought you to my flat"

"What do mean by 'we'?" I questioned, raising my eyebrow.

"Me, Aaron, Cameron, Damien and some other friends" 

I began to fidget with my fingers when a question popped into my head. "Where's Damien?"

"He left an hour a hour" Kane said, both of our eyes went to the clock on the wall saying it was quarter-pass six. I asked Kane if he could drop me off at my house and he said yes, the drive was quick and I muttered a thank you when we arrived on my driveway. 

Being as quiet as possible I unlocked the door and went up to my room. I stripped out of my clothes and headed for my bathroom. Standing in front of the mirror I saw a large bandage wrapped around my ribs and head, I slowly took it off and saw big, dark bruises all over as well as for my head, dry blood was smudged into my hair.

I cringe of the metal smell and took a quick shower. My eyes closed and my muscles relaxed under the warm water, images of Black Skulls invade my mind.

I stepped out wrapping a white fluffy towel around myself and walked to my closet. Since to is going to be cool for some odd reason, I picked out a plain long-sleeved grey dress that came up to my mid-thighs and black stockings. 

Even with mum gone, her voice alway rang through my ears.

'Protect your pride'

I looked into the mirror and see the dress hugs my curves perfectly. Drying my hair, I tide it up into a high pony-tail and added just enough make-up to cover the mess from last night with a touch of mascara and lip-gloss.

Liking the way I look for today, I went down stairs to be only crushed by an over sized bear.

"Where were you last night? You had me worried sick" Dad gave me a final squeeze before letting me go to breathe. 

"I'm sorry, I was with Paige and my phone died. I couldn't charge it because everyone in her family uses Samsung not Apple" I lied. I couldn't tell him I was beaten up by random strangers, like what would you want me to say? 'Sorry dad, I was left nearly dead by strangers in the forest and magically woke up on a comfy couch'

Yeah no happening.

Dad nodded and told me not to do something like that again. I went into the kitchen seeing Logan eating his breakfast. "Hey bud"

He turns around and gave me the best hug he ever gave me. I patted his back when he didn't let me go. 

I missed you too.

~~~

As I promised myself, I looked around the school looking for Paige and Rase. I still couldn't walk properly so I was basically limping everywhere I went.

I looked down just for a sec to catch my breath, a hard chest bumped into me causing me to stumble back. Looking at the person made my whole appearance tense. 

Damien was looking down at me with a cold expression. He didn't smile nor say sorry. 

"Move" his voice was rough and held hatred. I was still staring at him in shock, my chin nearly hitting the ground. When I didn't move Damien's expression turned hard and annoyed.

"I said fucking move!" his voice bounced off the walls making everyones heads snapped towards us. I flinched at his voice and shuffled to the side allowing him to walk, he gave me a glare before headed off to where ever he was headed. 

People started chatting amongst themselves. I was still confused to why he all of sudden changed, I kept my head down and ignored the stares and glares burning into my head. 

I found Paige and Rase a little later, I apologised to them for not talking and ignoring them for the past month. We all caught up with each other as the day moved on, I told them about last night but I could see right through them on how they reacted, they both nodded and tried to act shocked. 

Now it's fourth period and I have English. Without Paige or Rase. I kinda begged one of them to quickly transfer to my class but they said they already started on their assignments. Taking a deep breath I strolled into class, clutching my books tightly to my chest. I sighed in relief, there is an empty spot at the back next to the window. 

I was tripped by a stupid leg and fell face down on the ground. Ella's laugh was followed by everyone else, pointing to me and saying crazy shit about me.

"Next time, be careful who you walk into. Never know what fate has planned for you" Ella sneered in my face. I got up and sat down at my seat as Damien and Cameron walks through the door, missing on what just happened. 

Now I'm even more confused at the two boys. They won't even look at me, they look like genetic robots. Sitting ever so still and focus on what Ms Rune is saying. Under my long lashes, my gazed traveled to the opposite side of the room, I caught Damien's eyes burning through my skull, it feels like he's looking into my soul seeking for something. But when I blinked he glared at me like I stole his most prized position. 

BRINGGG

In the speed of light, Damien rushed out the door before I could even get up from my seat. Pushing all the student out of the way, I tried to move as fast as possible but my condition keeps worsening.

My chest aches and where ever I look, my vision is barely there, it's like my senses are slowly fading away.

"Damien!" I shouted, hoping he can hear me. To my luck he did because his posture became tense.

This time I walk to him but that doesn't cover the pain. I moved around him to look into his eyes. 

Somethings wrong. I can read anger, annoyance and fury in his eyes, no happiness or joy. 

It's like he's becoming a different person, a... dangerous person.

"What's wrong?" I softly spoke, bringing my hand up to cup his cheek. He closes his eyes and take a deep breath before opening his eyes again giving me a death stare. If looks could kill, I would be six feet under. 

But the air was completely knocked out of my lungs as he spoke his next words.

"You bitch"
