Secret Love

Chapter Three

Chapter three

“What you've got boy is hard to find
Think about it all about it all the time
I'm all strung up my heart is fried
I just can’t get you off my mind

Because your love, your love, your love, is my drug
Your love your love your love
I said your love, your love, your love, is my drug
Your love your love your love”

Stacy and I were singing to Ke$ha in the middle of my living room, My party was on full swing and I was having so much fun.

I haven’t really had that much to drink unlike most of the people here they were either really drunk or passed out somewhere.

I saw a removal truck next door earlier meaning that my new neighbours were next door and I hope they like there welcoming my parents will be so proud.

Not.

“Ari, Stace you never guess you just turned up.”

We stopped dancing Stacy swayed a bit she had had too much to drink.

“Who?” she hiccupped.

“Candy and her two sheep” Gary a boy from one of my classes said.

“No waay I going to beat the shit out of her god who is she” Stacy slurred.

I rolled my eyes.

“No you stay here I will sort it ok, Gary do you mind staying with her so she doesn’t do anything stupid?” I asked him.

“Sure no problem and be careful you know how Candy can be.”

I didn't know if it was the little alcohol I had in me or whether I had just never noticed before but Gary was hot, he had chocolate brown eyes and light blonde hair he was definitely cute I smiled at him realising I was staring.

“Thanks.” I started walking towards the door where Candy was standing.

“No, get out your not welcome here and I would have thought that you would at least be smart enough to realise that you are not invited” I said while opening the door.

“What I thought the whole of senior year was invited so that included us.” she gestured towards herself and her two followers.

“Wow you really are stupid no you’re not welcome after you make mine and Stacy’s lives miserable, it’s clear that you hate us and to be quite frank the feelings mutual, and anyway since when have you ever come to one of parties.” I said pushing them so they were outside.

“Don't touch me this is Gucci god, and yes I fucking hate you, well done. I'm coming to this party because I run this school so you don't tell me what to do or who’s party I'm allowed to go to even if it is yours” she said with venom in her voice she went to step into my house again but I blocked her path.

“I think you’ll find that I have a say whether you’re allowed in my house and you do not run the school you just think you do because you’re stuck up your own arse so get you and your fake little followers away from my face and off my property.” I said she was really starting to get up my nose.

“You are so going to regret that your life is going to be hell from now on.” She said and they walked off to her car the followers following her.

I watched them drive off and when I about to close the door when I heard my next door neighbour.

“No you don't young lady come outside right this instant, Your parents are going to be so disappointed when I tell them you have thrown another party. And think about your new neighbour it is his first night at his new home and you are ruining it by throwing a party how disrespectful I think yo- oh hello sir please excuse this young madam she is very rude throwing a party on your first night of moving you see she’s not a very respectful young lady and is always doing stuff reckless, You young lady come down here and apologize your neighbour is right here you can introduce yourself as well as apologize for your rudeness.”

Once my old next door neighbour Mr Kentwood finished his lecture I simply rolled my eyes stepped out of the door way stared at him.

“You’re not my father you can’t tell me what to do.” I said.

He looked at me and smirked “Yes but your parents will find out soon and when they come back they will certainly tell you what to do and you will punished for it even more then you usually do.” He said with malice in his voice.

I flinched the thing with my parents was that they weren’t against using violence and that’s how I got punished and most of the time it wasn’t that bad and would normally be somewhere where you couldn’t see the bruises and I knew by the look on Mr Kentwood’s face he would make sure this time was bad.

You may ask why I don't do anything about my parents it’s just I can’t do it.

One because yes I'm really scared of them and I don't know what they would do if I told anyone but they are still my parents and I don't have any more family except for them.

No one knows what happened not even Stacy I could never bring myself to tell her or anyone in the matter.

Mr Kentwood knows because to usually hears when I get beat by my dad and he is all for it, so did the old neighbours that’s why they left but everyone seems to think it was because of my behaviour.

“Apologize now!” Mr Kentwood nearly shouted.

I flinched again I couldn’t help but think about what’s going to happen when my parents come home.

To be honest I was shitting myself.

I finally looked over at my new neighbour and my breath got stuck in my throat.

No, no, no.

It can’t be, he can’t be my new neighbour.

Mr Gold stood in front of me looking hotter than before with his tight t-shirt and showed his toned stomach and a pair sweats.

I looked up into his eyes he was showing no emotion so I couldn’t tell what he was thinking.

I snapped out of my trance.

“I- I'm s-sorry, I didn't realise y-you where g-going to be m-moving in today” I stuttered lowering my gaze to the floor.

I knew he saw the fear in my eyes and now it didn't help that my voice wavering.

I felt a lump rise in my throat and I swallow it back down willing myself not to cry.

“It’s quite alright Ari, but I am surprised that you are my new neighbour.” I looked up at him and saw worry and confusion clear on his face.

“Wait you two know each other how?” Mr Kentwood asked.

“Ari is my student.” Mr Gold replied.

“Oh right well I’m going back inside and young lady I except everyone to be gone in Fifthteen minutes otherwise I'm calling the cops, and I'm sure your parents wouldn’t like that would they” he smirked as I shook my head.

“Good well good night Mr Gold and be sure to tell me if she bothers you anymore” and with that he walked in his house and slammed the door.

“Maybe you should get everyone out now because I'm sure he was being serious about calling the cops” Mr Gold said.

“Yes he was being serious, always is” I shivered and not because of the cold.

“When everyone is gone come round mine I think we need to have a chat.” He said.

I didn't know whether I should be happy that he asked me round or terrified that he did.

I nodded and walked up towards my house I took a big breath this was going to be hard.
