The Bad Boy's Mate

chapter 4

Dawn's POV:

I woke up the next morning and felt really cold. The spot next to me was empty. I sat up and the window was open which instantly brought a frown to my face. "Dawn, you up yet?" I hear someone yell from outside the window. I walk to the window to see Xavier standing there. "Yeah, why?" Why wouldn't I be we have school. "Don't forget the plan." was all he said before he disappeared from the window. As I was about to walk away he popped back up and said: "Oh and I don't think you want EVERYONE to know you get abused so you might want to put your makeup on." "Thanks," I say back with a smile. "How do you do that?" Well, that was a little random. "What do you mean?" I say with a very confused face. "Smile like nothing is wrong and your life is perfect." Those few words brought a frown to my face. "Years of practice." I felt like I was gonna cry at just that, but I didn't I know better. "Oh." He says while frowning. "Grab anything else you might need like... girly things.." He just barely mumbled that last part. "Ok, hey can one of my friends come over today?" "Who?" Was all he said with this emotionless face. "My friend Arabella, you know the one I was talking to at school." "So that's her name?" Was all he said with this huge grin on his face that felt like I just got stabbed in the heart. "Asher has a HUGE crush on her." Ok, that helps my heart feel better. "So can she?" I say as I look at him with pleading eyes. "Sure why not?" That brings my big grin back on my face. "Yay thanks... we're gonna be late I'll see you outside," I said with a wink and walked away to get dressed. My outfit was simple white wasted skinny jeans with a navy blue crop top with brown boots. I do my hair and makeup, then grab my school bag and keys. I skip breakfast and run outside to see Xavier on my steps. Dang, he's hot. "Thanks." I heard him say which made me question it. "Did I say that out loud?" I say with a worried face and a small dust of blush forming on my cheeks. "Yep, You don't look so bad yourself princess." As he said that he had this huge smirk on his face and winked at the end which made my blush deepen. "Let's go we're gonna miss the bus." Wow, that's my best excuse to get out of there, I need better excuses. We walked to the bus stop and when we stopped to wait for the bus it was silent until I spoke up. "Thanks," I say as I look at the ground. "For what?" "For staying with me last night," I said while blushing and still staring at the ground. "Oh, your welcome." Was all he said then the bus showed up and we got on and started to head to school.

Xavier's POV:

"Goodnight princess."I watched as she fell asleep and GOD was she beautiful. I swear if I ever meet the guy who was hurting my angel I will put him in the hospital. I was currently holding her and rubbing her stomach. Next thing I know I hear noises coming from my house. "Awe man!" I whisper yelled do they have to pick tonight out of all nights to fight. "Sweet dreams princess I'll see you in the morning." I love you and with that, I climb back through our windows and rush downstairs to see what their fighting about this time. "GUYS!! Why are y'all yelling?" I yell at them pissed that they interrupted my time with Dawn. "Where were you!" Asher yells at me. "I was next door at dawn." "Why?!" "Because she has some.... stuff going on at home so she is going to be staying with us for a little while." "What's going on at home?" Asher said with a curious but worried look. That's not my place to tell he'll have to ask her. "You'll have to ask her, but don't be too pushy ok?" I say eyeballing both of them cause knowing them they will annoy her until she tells them. "Ok." Was all he said and with that, I went upstairs to see that it was already 5:30 am so there's no point in going to sleep. I jump in the shower and 20 minutes later I'm out and getting dressed. Then I walk over to see if Dawns up. And Y'all know the rest. 

AFTER SCHOOL:

Dawn's POV: 

"Come on Bella your going to make us miss the bus." She was walking at a medium pace which wasn't fast enough to get to the bus. "I'm going as fast as I can." She says while sounding out of breath. "Made it!" I said sounding accomplished. We go sit in the back with the guys and when Arabella and Asher see each other they both get a tint of blush on their cheeks and Xavier says something that makes Asher give him the evil eye. We all get off the bus and sat in the living room. "I need to talk to you Bella." As I said that I look at Xavier and he gives me a reassuring look. "Ok just tell me." I sigh a little before going and grabbing a makeup wipe and returning. "This is not the time to worry about makeup." That makes me look to Xavier one more time to see him giving me an encouraging nod. I then take the makeup wipe and wipe off my makeup to reveal my bruises and cuts. "OH MY GOD DAWN, WHAT HAPPENED?!" I looked down trying to hide the few tears escaping. "My st... step-dad likes to beat and try to ...um... rape me," I say as more tears stream down my face and I look over at Xavier to see his jaw dropped and his fists clenched into a ball.

Author's Note:

            I know that this chapter is sad it hurt me just writing it but life isn't all sunshine and rainbows.
