Chapter Two

"There we are, Now tell me," Selena demanded.

"Not before i take a shower," i walked away, leaving confused look drawn on Selena's face.

I enetered the washroom slowly. The tiles are bright blue and white, covered in dropes of water. I shut the door behind me then turned the hot water on and waited for it to heat up. My hands flied to my clothes and took them off gently, leaving my body completley naked. i stared in the mirror for few seconds. Checking my neck. My eyes refucosed on a purple-lish spot, which looked like teeth. A loud gasp escaped my lips. How idiotic I am to let him give me a Love Bite?, How could i do this to Ryan? The boy that never cheated me and always told me that he loved me with his whole heart, How?! But i know it wasn't my fault, he forced me on the wall and bit my neck.

The steam from the bathtub Sweated on my face. i sighed, trying to control my sobs. i let my foot experience the water to check if it's hot or cold. it was hot enough. The bathtub was filed up so i turned my idea from shower to bath. it would tense my muscles. I sat in the warm water, my shoulders relax as i exited my right hand to reach the Shampoo and conditioner. I sank my head in the water. My hair went wet. I poured some of the shampoo in my palm and conditioned my hair carefully. It's a habit for me, whenever i'm nervous, i love to take a bathe and condition my hair like there's no tomorrow.

I got out of the bathtub, wrapping tidy towel around my body. I swung the door open. Selena was sitting cross-crossed legged on her bed. Notes infront of her. she turned to me and smiled.

"What a long shower, now tell me, Can you?" She said, lips parting.

"Let me dress first, idiot." i giggled, it's a forced giggle, after all. She nodded and turned back to her notes. I walked to my room, straight to my closet.

After i got dressed in a pyjama pants, a tank. I showed in Selena's room, she sighed and tucked her notes on the side of the bed. I sat on her comfortable bed. before i could even talk, my gaze caught her eyes gaping on my neck. Yeah, sure! i'm such an idiot, Why didn't i wear something that won't show my neck?

"Don't tell me some boy did this to you, that's why you're horrified," She whispered, i'm not sure how i heared her. The tears welled at the corner of my eyes. My throat is burning. Finally i let the words out.

"It's Harry," My voice was shaking badly. She gasped.

"That bastard, it's just the second day of school, how could he!" She sighed.

"i don't know, Ryan. . . why?" i mumbled, trying not to break down.

"oh baby, don't cry, I'm sure this bastard won't touch you again,"

"Haha! if he did, then he will be known as the womanzier, man whore." I faked a laugh. Selena pulled me in a tight hug. Her chest vibrated as she chuckled.

"Brit, you're such a baby, don't mind him, he isn't just womanzier, he is a hottie," She breathed. i furrowed my eyebrows at her.

"Oh god, i was joking! but about him being hot isn't a joke, i might try to get him." She winked. I kissed her cheek softly.

"Now, i will go talk to Ryan, or mum," I pulled out of her embrace. She tilt her head down.

i moved up to my room. My phone was plugged on the nightstand. i reached for the phone, jumping in the bed. My fingers danced on the screen as i called my mum. The phone rang twice and then the soft voice echoed through the speakers.

"Good after noon, Brit," Her voice sounds relaxed.

"You too, Mum. where are you?" I asked.

"At my sister's house," She chuckled lightly. "Why?" Well then, she's at my aunt's.
