A Toxic Relationship

Chapter 5

"Can I make you mine?" 
I looked into his eyes and thought, did he really ask me that, or was I just so lost in his eyes that I imagine the question. 
"What?" I asked.
"Can I make you mine?" He asked once again, he wasn't joking, his facial expression was serious.
"Um..." I didn't know what to say at this point, he left me speechless. "Make me yours how? By taking me out or?" I hope he isn't implying what I think he's implying because I've never given myself to anyone not even Tyler even though that never stopped him from asking from time to time. I don't even know Dominik and he's asking me that question? He's known me for a few days, and I only know him for that same amount of time.
"No?" He asked dragging his finger down my cheek, "Or yes?" He asked, I took a deep breath and whispered the answer to him.
"I don't know." I said with a small smile. I ran my hand through his hair and began to caress it.
"How bout yes?" He said, tilting his head and giving me a curious look. I thought about it for a moment. I mean, how bad could it get? My parents would kill me if they found out, but how would they know?
"I don't know Dominik, you're close friends with Tyler and now you want to be with me. Isn't that a horrible thing to do? And I've only known you for a few days and you want to make this big of a leap? You don't even like me and I can barely stand you most of the time." I said, he smirked at my response. And without a warning, his lips connected with mine. We kissed passionately for a while; his hand went up my shirt, but we had to stop.
He pulled away due to his phone ringing, He groaned, "Yes?" He asked in a frustrated tone,
he rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah, fine. I understand, I'll be there." He said, hanging up the phone.
"We need to go." He said, getting off of me. He got up and held out his hand, I took it and walked to the car with him. "What happened?" 

"Don't worry about it princess." I didn't push of course it was something that bothered him and clearly, he doesn't want to talk about it. Thank goodness for that phone call because I would have done something as reckless and giving myself up to him, someone I barely know. 

...

When we arrived at my home, we looked at each other for a minute without saying anything until I broke the silence, "I'll see you tomorrow." I said getting out of the car and walking around it to his side.

"Can't wait, babe." He said, smirking, I blushed and kissed his cheek, and before I left, he grabbed my arm and asked for my number, I put it in his phone. He gave me his number on a piece of paper. "Talk to me when you need to babe." I grinned and nodded in agreement. 
He drove away as I opened the door to the house. And there they were again, my parents who had their arms crossed, great this is just great. 

"Where the fuck were you, Scarlett!?" My dad had that face that made me shrink a lot when I was a kid, it still kind of works today, so now they decide to pay attention. 

"School, where else would I be?" Just deny, deny, deny, I learned that from Rodrick from Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules, love that movie. 

"School? The administrators called saying that you didn't show up." My mom said, making me shut my eyes and hold my breath. I knew this was going to happen and I still went out with Dominik. To be fair I only have like 3 days left but my parents are just making it so hard for me to be free. 

"Of course they would..." I said, whispering to myself. 

"Where were you!?" My mother yelled. 

"I was with Dominik, there are you happy!? I was with the guy that gives me rides to school now thanks to you." I said, finally blowing up, my dad only glared at me while my mom lifted an eyebrow.

"He's probably nothing but trouble if he kept you from going to school." My mom said, "I'll have a talk with his mom later." She muttered. 

"No, in fact he makes me feel happy and safe ironically, so thank you mom for the suggestion that he takes me to and from school." I said, my parents only laughed at my face like I've made a hilarious joke.

"Happy and safe? He should let your parents do the job for him. Since that's what we're supposed to be doing." My dad said, folding his arms. That's funny coming from him to be honest.  

"Yeah sure. You take my phone away. You lock me up in my room all day with nothing but a pen and notebook. And the only times that can come out is when it's time to eat something! Are you both trying to drive me mad?" Maybe they are so they can get rid of me by sending me to get some help. 

"Don't you talk to your mother in that way!" My father yelled.

"No, don't you dare talk to me in that way! I hate being treated like this! I get it I'm being punished, but you know, most parents don't lock up their daughter in their room! They would at least let them around the house! But no, my room is best for me, right?! Just for me and my thoughts with no contact like I'm some sick patient that needs to be isolated." 

"Go to your room I don't want to hear this anymore!" My mother said. I nodded and walked upstairs, I slammed the door behind me and sat on my bed. Like what did I ever do to them? I don't understand, what did I do to make them despise me? I didn't ask to be put on this damn planet everyone calls earth. 

...

It was twelve in the morning; I couldn't sleep so got up from my bed and sneaked into the computer room where my dad kept my phone. As if I can't put myself in more trouble but I'm dying to talk to Dominik.
I took my phone and tip toed back into my room; I locked the door behind me so I would not have to worry about my parents.

Me: Hey..you awake?

Him: I am now princess😉

Me: I'm sorry, go back to bed I didn't mean to wake you 😨

Him: Why love? 😕

Me: Because I just woke you up! I texted you to see if you were already awake but since I woke you up, I feel bad now. 

Him: I'll always have time for you 😘

Me: Ur So sweet😊

Him: To what's mine, yes.

Me: Come pick me up, will you? I need to get the hell out of here.

Him: 😐

Me: Plzzzzzzz??!!!

Him: Sure, be there in ten😉😘

...

I walked downstairs as quietly and quickly as possible. He arrived and I got in his car like my life depended on it.
"So, what happened?" He asked, grabbing my hand.
"My parents...they think they can lock me away like Rapunzel or Feona." I said, he chuckled.
"So, you called on your prince to come and save you?" He asked, still kind of laughing, I looked over to him and rolled my eyes playfully at him.
"We should run away someday." I said, "Just you and me, no one else." I said, looking over to him.
"I like that idea." He said smirking. "Just 3 more days." he whispered.
"Yeah just 3 days." I pressed my lips together and smiled to myself. 
"Where would you like to go?" I didn't think about that and when he noticed that I had no answer, "I think I know a place my parents own, it's empty right now if you want to spend the night there." I looked at him and smiled. 

"If you're going to be with me, I don't care where we go."
