Meant To Be (Student/Teacher Romance) Chapter 2

I woke to see that it was 8 in the morning and sighed

"I guess im not going to school today." I just laid there wanting to sleep, but i knew if he came home again and saw i was still laying on the floor in the kitchen then i would just get hurt worse than i did last night. I tried to sit up but as i did my ribs ached in pain, i didn't think they were broken but maybe just bruised. So i just laid there on the floor almost asleep until i heard the door bell ring, I didn't feel like getting up so i just let whoever was at the door keep ringing it until i heard the locks and the door burst open. I started to cry thinking it was my dad and he had come home early but when i felt a warm soft hand on my cheek i knew it wasn't him, my dad isn't able to love anymore. I lifted my face off of the floor to see Angel looking at me with a sad and worried expression. Then he picked me up and carried me out the door without another glance inside and put me in the passenger seat of his car and drove off leading me god knows where. I felt my eyes slip closed. I woke up to see a completely different room. I tried to get up but when i did i winced in pain at my ribs. Angel came in there and was shocked to see me awake.

"Did you sleep well?" I only nodded in response and looked at the floor to try to keep from crying.

"I can bandage up your ribs if you want to then maybe you can atleast move around a little bit". I sat up still keeping my gaze down as i nodded.

"I'm sorry but im going to need you to remove your tank top so i can reach all of your ribs without the shirt getting in the way". I nodded and as a tear fell i pulled the tank top over my head and dropped it to the floor. I looked up to see his face and it was full of hurt and anger so when his hand reached down i whimpered thinking he was going to hit me, but all he did was move my hair away from my eyes and i suddenly felt stupid for whimpering. He walked away and returned a few min later with some bandages and a bowl full of steaming water and some wash cloths. He sat all of it on the night stand,

"Do you mind moving the comforter so i can reach you good?" I moved it slowly away knowing what he was about to see would shock him most of all. I heard something hit the wall and i scooted as far away from him as possible and started to scream. His arms twined around me and kept apologizing into my hair as he started to sway back and forth pulling me into his lap and resting my head against his chest. After i calmed down and my sobs quieted that he turned me and looked at the hand prints on my hips, they were full hand prints and badly bruising, and some finger prints had dried blood on them from their sharp nails as they dug into me. I closed my eyes as he lightly rubbed his fingers over the hand prints and i felt something drip on my stomach and looked up at Angel as another tear escaped sliding down his cheek and fell to my stomach. I reached up and wiped another tear away and he looked at me. I'm going to call the cops.

" No please, i have no where to go, i have no family left." I cried into his chest as he kept telling me he wouldn't call them if i didn't want him to and my sobs stopped.

"But i can't live with myself knowing you go home to that everyday,

" I've had to live with it since i was 12, I'm turning 18 next month and i was planning on leaving, even though i had no clue as to where to go but i was still going to leave." He sighed and picked me up and layed me back on the bed and picked up the wash cloth and dropped it into the water.

"This might sting a little," He put the hot rag to my side and wiped away the dried blood and then put it to my lip that had some dried blood on it. Then he picked up the bandages and started to wrap them but then he stopped.

"Do you want to get a shower? It might be kinda hard after i wrap you up"

"Yea sure," I slowly got out of his bed and stood up,

"but i don't have any clothes to put on after"

"you can borrow some of mine" I nodded and followed him to the bathroom and waited while he got the water hot but not to hot for me.

"OK all the shampoo and body wash is right there and take as long as you want to ok?

I only nodded in response

"I'm going to leave the door cracked so if you need me you can just yell for me ok?" I nodded again and he left without another word. I peeled off my jeans and all my other clothes and jumped in the shower letting the water run down my body. I almost fell asleep a couple of times but i caught myself and started to wash my hair and then my body and when i finished rinsing off i turned the water off and looked around for a towel but it was my freaking luck that i didn't ask for one before i got in here.

"Angel, I need a towel and some clothes" I hollered hoping he wasn't to far away and that he could hear me. He walked in there a few min later covering his eyes with one hand and handing me a towel with the other, I reached out and took it and wrapped it around myself before stepping out, I didn't see the puddle of water on the floor until i slipped in it, strong arms rapped around me keeping me from falling. I looked up and saw his eyes were still closed. He gently picked me up and carried me out of the bathroom and i noticed the pieces of the chair he had thrown across the room. He sat me on the bed and started to leave but i grabbed his hand. He looked at me then with an expression i couldn't understand.

"I'm sorry," I dropped my hand quickly as he sat on the bed next to me.

"Why do you keep apologizing when you did absolutely nothing wrong?" I looked down.

"Where i come from everything is my fault" He stroked my cheek and got up going to his dresser and pulling out some clothes before handing them to me. I took them and got dressed quickly in the shirt and jeans he gave me but the shirt was going down past my knees and the jeans kept falling off of me because they were three sizes to big so i just took them off and opened the door to his room. The smell of something so good hit my nose and i saw him in the kitchen cooking something. My stomach began to growl and i automatically wrapped my arms around it to make it more quiet. He sat a plate down on the table.

"Come eat Rose. i know you are hungry." I sat down thinking that my mom use to call me that all the time, but soon i was distracted by a big plate of some kind of chicken and potatoes and it looked so good. I just stared at it with my mouth hanging open when he put something to drink in front of me and it looked like mountain dew. (my favorite). I started eating and i couldn't stop until i ate everything on my plate then he was pushing dessert in front of me taking away my empty plate. I gobbled that down not caring if i looked ridiculous because who knows when i would eat again. especially if my dad had found out that i ate anything without his permission. Then i sat there mid bite and looked around frantically for something that would tell me the time.

"Whats wrong Serenity?"

"what time is it? what if its past 8 and my dad is home? he is going to kill me, i really need to go." He picked me up and carried me to the car and told me when he slid into the driver seat that it was only 6 but if i wanted to go then he would take me home. The drive was quiet, no radio no talking, just him driving and me looking out the window, it wasn't awkward or anything it was just nice.
