Lets begin the game

Chapter 13

Blakes pov.:

Everyone in our group is staring at Cora in disbelief.

I feel the anger swell up in me. Who the fuck would do this to a human being? It's just so sick.

Her legs, her arms, her stomach, her chest and her back is covered with scars of deep cuts.

You can clearly see it was not an accident because of her horrendous scar on her belly.

Someone......Someone intentionally carved the words "Satans Bitch" with a knife into her stomach. The scars do not look like they have been done recently.

Suddenly Cora snaps "Stop staring or you'll regret it" Everyone looks somewhere else but me.

I look into her eyes and she into mine. Quickly she looks away and turns around to listen to coach Morgan.

While he talks and explains I can look at her back. Her back is full of scars but....but these are different.

They....They look...They look like scars caused by a whip....Which sick human would do this to her?!

Judging by the looks of her boys they didn't know that either.

We don't have to play the first round, so we wait.

I lean against the wall next to her. She slowly turns her head and looks at me "What?" I open my moith and close it again.

She's still looking at me and says in a monotone voice "I know what you want to ask and my answer is, it's non of your business"

She turns her head again waits for our turn.

The sports period was like I expected. We won. But I couldn't really enjoy it because I was thinking about Coras scars the whole time.

At the end of the period she just walks into the changing room without a word.

What happened to her?!

Coras pov.:

I change quickly into my clothes and give Caia her bikini back. I take my stuff and exit the changing room.

I never told Ryder what exactly happened to me 6 years ago. I never showed him my scars and I always covered them.

I walk to the car and I wait for the guys to arrive. Finally they're here and we get inti the cars and part in utter silence.

I park the car and I walk into the mansion. When I reach the entry hall someone turns me around.

I look into Ryders eyes. Tears are rolling down his cheeks and he has this broken look in his eyes "How could you not tell me about that?"

I look away. I...I just can't look at him. He continues to talk"Why didn't you tell me that he did that to you?"

I see how the others look at us in shock. I look at Ryder and whisper "I didn't want you to suffer more. You were already completely broken because of what happened to you. I just couldn't tell you what happened to me exactly because you would have been even more traumatised"

He hugs me hard ans I just let it be. I get out of his hold and I stroke his cheek "Ryder I'm ok. It's fine. We can talk about this later. I have to go to talk with Skylar now."

I walk upstairs and go to Skylars room. He's sitting on his bed reading and listening to music with headphones.

I grin and I jump onto him. I hug him hard and squeal "SKYYYY!!!! I KNEW EEEEVERYTHING IN THE CHEMISTRY QUIZ!!!"

He hugs me back and laughs "I told you, you could do it sweetheart" I sit up and smile at him "You're the best"

He grins and sighs "I know" I giggle and look at him "Do you know where Nico is?" Skylar shrugs "He's probably in his room working on his project"
