The Bad Boys and I

CH 22 Before Therapy

Rachel Pov

I sat in bed staring at Damien. I started remembering our second tutoring session.

Flashback

"Had fun at the party?" Damien asked me sitting next to me in the library.

"Yeah well we are here to get you better in history" I stated pointing to his history book.

I took out my algebra to do my homework while I tutor him.

Five minutes passed before he got confused. Thank gosh I was already half way with my homework.

"What don't you understand?" I asked.

"How do you do it?" I gave him a confused look as I closed my book.

"You're the captain of three different clubs and head cheerleader and still the smartest person in school."

I smiled knowing how confusing it could be but I was doing this since freshman, it sophomore I got the hang of it.

"Time management. Like how I know we are going to be finish her at 3:45, then I have a cheer meeting which should end at 5 then I have to get home and change for my aunt's birthday dinner. I would be home by 8, do my homework and be in bed by 9:30. Simple"

I sounded so easy in my head but I know very well I might fall sleep before I've completed my homework then wake it and finish it and come school with out a proper breakfast.

"I think you are insane. How bout you skip that meeting and go out with me"
"I can't, I'm the one who called the meeting today, knowing I can't hold it no other day. Well besides Thursday but I don't want to hold it ......."

"Perfect reshedule for Thursday"

I spent most of that evening trying to tell him no until I just caved in.

End of flashback

Next morning I jumped up because I had a nightmare. I didn't scream nor did I cry. However I did panic but I calmed myself knowing it's was a dream. A dream of the past.

I turned and Damien was no longer beside me. I got off my bed and went to the bathroom I took a quick shower and placed one some of his sweats before I headed down to the kitchen.

"How is my favorite daughter doing?" My father asked sitting by the island in the middle of the kitchen

"I'm ok" I said talking the milk out of the fridge. He smiled and watched me take the frosted flakes out the cabinet and pour it and the milk into a big bowl. "Want a banana in your cereal?" He asked.

"She doesn't use bananas in frosted flakes, she uses strawberries!" Crissy came in and took the strawberries out the fridge and poured a glass of milk for herself before putting it back in the fridge.

My father looked down at the banana and sighed before putting it down. I smiled as I was finishing putting strawberries in my cereal. "I use bananas in cheerios dad"

I left the kitchen and went to my room. I stopped by my door hearing noises coming from Ricky's room.

I knocked on his door before opening it.

I found where Damien disappeared to. They were playing game.

" Rachel" Ricky said pausing the game, making Damien look around. "How are you?" They both asked.

How are you. Are you ok. That's all they ever ask.

I sighed before I responded. "I'm good. I going to eat my cereal then do my homework and I'm going to my Terapist"

I closed the door and went to my room, I sat on the bed turned on the tv ate my cereal and watched Teen Wolf.

It was 10 o'clock. I got ready for my therapy session. "Do you need a ride?" Damien asked. "I can drive myself"

Damien took up my keys from on my dresser and insisted he drove me. I didn't want to get on his motorcycle so we took my car.

I got there at exact 10:50. I told Damien to pick me up at 1 o'clock.

I was scared watching into the office. I didn't know what scared me so much but I kept walking anyways .
