The Broken Little Damsel

Chapter eight

I rushed to my room.
I had left the clothes I was wearing at school on top of my bed.
I was folded them got ready to throw them in the washing basket.
That's when I  saw it.
There was a brownish disgusting stain on the white skirt I was wearing at school.
No wonder everyone was looking at me.
They thought I messed my skirt.
Ow, once I get my claws on her... It's no use getting mad.
So I  took deep deep breaths and calmed myself.
Walking into my wardrobe , I choose an outfit.
I wore  grey leggins and  black tee, with a grey and black windbreaker and black boots.
Then I  did the French twist on my hair
I used a black lip liner and dark red lipstick.
Checking my reflection on the mirror I concluded, simple.
The door bell rang.
That must be him.
Taking my handbag and phone , I  went down stairs to open the door.
He was wearing the same colours  Odd.
"Those colours look great on you", he said standing at the door. No greetings.
That's very sweet of him.
"Thanks, are you coming in or what?"
"Or what ", he said with a smirk on his lips.
"Then, what are we waiting for? Let's go. "
He laughed and stepped off the way , allowing me to get out.
Then he closed the door and locked it.
That's when I  saw the car.
A blue Mazda CX 5.
Wow.
"It's mine , I didn't steal it.", he joked opening the passenger's door for me.
The moment I sat on the car , he closed the door and walked around to the driver's door.
"Where are we headed?", I  asked him as he started the car
"It's a surprise ".
We drove in comforting silence.
The road was so familiar.
Then he parked the car on the side of the road.
There was a forest.
I know this place .
"Come on , get out of the car. We will be walking from now on.", he instructed.
He led the way, making sure that I won't be disturbed by trees while walking .
I was looking down so that I won't trip and fall.
Then the land started to slope down.
I raised my head and that's when I saw where we were.
There was a blue lake and it was surrounded by lavender plants.
Yes , we were at MY escape place.
"How do you know this place?", I asked him in one of my emotionless voices.
"One day when we arrived in this town, I was still not myself because of my dad's scandal. So I  drove away from home. Turned out I didn't have enough gas, so the car stopped. I walked around these woods so that I could get help and ended up here. The rest is history . Why?", he asked as we sat down.
" It's just that this is where I usually come for relaxing and escape from reality. Since I was 10.", I was looking at the lake.
Looks like we have something in common.
Maybe this is the peferct time to tell him about me.
" Would you like to know about these scars?".
He nodded his head and looked at me.
So I told him.
Told him about my parents dying and my uncle , I  mean Robert, raping me and how I found comfort in cutting myself. I also told him that I saw him at the shopping centre and that day was the time I did it.
"Kristy,  I'm so sorry to hear that. But have you ever thought of telling someone?"
"You are the only one who knows about this. My friend moved to South Africa on that fateful day. So , nobody else knows."
He put his hand around my shoulder and I leaned on his chest.
That was comforting.
Time passed and the sun was setting.
I love nature.
"I think we should go",he said
"I think so too".
We stood up and went to the car.
We drove in silence. I have to say it was comforting but some what worrying.
" So, were you planning to tell Carrie any time soon? Like she is your friend she deserves to know." He finally spoke after what seemed like centuries.
" I'll just call her over tonight and tell her. But the veracity is that I wasn't planning on telling anyone untill today during lunch when you suggested I should. Thank you for listening and for being here."
I was getting emotional.
But I really appreciated him for being there for me.
" Women, you get emotional easily, just kidding. But it's the truth.You're welcome. "
I didn't realise we were at my gate already.
" Thank you so much for today."
" Any thing for you. And please remember you can vanquish anything. Goodnight sweet cakes.", he said and without waiting for my responce , drove away into the dark.
He is something else.
Walking into my door, I searched for the key in my handbag .
It wasn't there.
I was panicking when a car hooter snapped my head up.
It was Jake.
" You forgot your key,"
" Was it me or you? ", I asked him.
If I remember correctly, he was the one who locked the door and didn't give back the key.
" I doesn't matter. What matters is that I saved your heart because I swear you were about to have a heart attack.", he said smilling.
" Jerk", I  said quietly.
I snatched the key away from him and was ready to open the door when I realised that he was still there.
" What?", I asked confused.
" Aren't you going to kiss your knight in shining  armor for saving your life?", he said with a fake broken voice.
Really.
" I don't kiss toads", I said and opened the door.
I heard him laughing and shouting a goodnight.
I got to the house and wore my PJs. Again! 
I grabbed a pack of doritos Sour cream and mild chill on my way to my room.
Taking my phone I dialled Carr's number and whispered" This is it."
It rang and on the fourth ring she picked it up.
