Hatred

Chapter 14

Y/N : Still some rice and a few tomatoes and I’ll have all I need. Great, I want to leave as fast as possible

I looked at my watch. 11am. If I try to be faster, I’ll be able to come back home before noon, and I’ll have time to prepare a good meal for this evening. Today is the day I spoil myself, I thought with a smile.

Well, a little smile. Everybody was looking at me in the store. All eyes were on my bruised lip, on the cut I had on my arm, this purple injury that didn’t got enough time to become a scar.

They were all probably thinking that I’m a battered woman or something like that. They’re all pitying me.

I hate it. I want to leave.

I took the rice and ran toward the fruits and vegetables departments, but unfortunately bumped into someone.

Y/N : Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t see you-

??? Don’t worry it’s okay. Let me help you taking your products back in your basket, said a man’s voice

Y/N : Thank you very much, I answered, raising my head

??? : Don’t worry, it’s noth-

The man stopped talking immediately. Like the others, he looked at my lip that was a little swollen now. His face took a disgusted look, and and stood up.

??? : You’re disgusting. Hide yourself somewhere, you’ll scare people, he said walking away

I was shocked by his word, as well as by his behavior. Didn’t he know politeness ??

But I confirmed what I thought. Something I didn’t want to think about.

They’re not pitying me. It was worst. They’re disgusted.

I went to the cash register, paid for what I’d bought, not daring looking at the cashier, then run out of the store. I ended in a little street and started to cry. I wanted to stay there until I die. I didn’t want anyone to see me anymore.

??? : Ow, look who’s here, I heard a few centimeters from my hears.

I startled and looked at the owner of the voice.

I froze. It was Derek. But he was strange. He was taller than yesterday, paler than yesterday. But the most weird...

His eyes were red, like engorged with blood.

Derek : I told you to quit, why didn’t you listened to me ?? Now I have to punish you, he said with a smirk, showing me the iron bar he was holding in his hand.

I was scared. So scared. I needed to hide, to get rid of him.

I started to run in the little streets. I’ve never go there before, so I couldn’t direct myself toward a place I knew.

After some minutes of running as fast as I could, I saw a building that reminded me something, but I couldn’t remember what. Anyway, if I can hide there, let’s just run.

But just before going out of the street, I bumped into someone.

Derek : Did you really think you could get rid off me just by running ?? You’re really stupid, he said laughing
