Love That Hurts

Love that hurts: Chapter 6

It was now a Monday morning. I realised that i couldn’t continue missing school, i have to move on in life and show my ‘parents’ what their daughter can do without them.

So after a long conversation with Daniel, with me practically begging and giving him my best puppy dog eyes, he agreed for me to go to school. However, there were some silly conditions.  One, if at any point i felt or looked ill; Daniel had the right to bring me home. Two, i had to take my medication throughout the day and three, to ensure that i was eating properly and wasn’t putting too much pressure on myself.

After agreeing to his conditions, Daniel finally agreed.

So currently, I’m looking at my wardrobe in frustration. It was a windy day and i had no idea what to wear. The downside was that whatever i would wear had to cover my marks, bruises and scars. Which was annoying since i had to always keep myself wrapped up.

So after an intense hour of finding something appropriate, which was extremely hard! I decided on wearing a white tank top, a brown pull-on cardigan, beige jeans and my brown leather ankle boots. I had for the first time, allowed my hair to be open and curled them in tight curls. I still struggled with my confidence, but being around the Carters, I’ve changed and I’m becoming more confident however the thought of being around those i dont know or like, scares me.

I just hope from today on, things go well and i can finally move on and make something of my life.

Picking up my bag, i close my door and headed downstairs, where a cheerful Troy, Ava and Oliver sat.

“Wow! Someone’s looking beautiful!” Troy complemented.

“Why thank you handsome” i replied winking.

“Come here sugar” Troy stated. I held in my laughter as i made my way over to him.

He gestured for me to sit on his lap.

I smirked and raised my eyebrow.

“But Garfy, what if i sit on your lap and break it” i pouted.

Ava giggled whilst little Oliver just went along with it and started clapping.

“Oh my, Yes. She’s right there Troy” Helen responded walking in smirking.

“Hmmm, I’m sure I’d be able to manage a hug instead”

I giggle before wrapping my arms around Troy, to which he responded by squeezing me tighter and ruffling my hair.

“Trooooyyy! I just did my hair” i pouted and crossed my arms.

“Dont worry Princess you still look beautiful”

I turned around to find Daniel standing there looking amazing. He wore tight fitting black jeans, a white t-shirt and a black leather jacket and his black vans. Damn he looked good!

“T-thanks Daniel” i responded blushing.

“No problem Princess”

I smiled and sat down on the table. Helen had placed a plate of pancakes in front of me however looking at them made my stomach churn. I still dont feel comfortable eating too much food. I dont mind having a full meal once in a while but I’m not used to having three meals a day. This was the consequence of hardly eating when i used to live with my parents. I smiled gratefully at Helen before pushing my plate to Daniel who had taken a seat next to me.

“I’m sorry Helen, I’m just not hungry although it does look good” i smiled sheepishly.

“Sweetie you have to eat before you go to school, you haven’t eaten since yesterday afternoon!”
