Hidden From The World

I don't want to listen...I'm done listening

RAFE P.O.V

I leaned back in my chair, stunned at what had happened a few moments ago. Lex storming out and looking very angry. What have I done now? I couldn’t seem to grasp whatever I have done wrong.

I sat there lost in my own thoughts when someone came and sat in front of me. I looked up to a very angry looking Will.

“What did I do?” I asked before he could open his mouth and accuse me of doing something wrong.

“Oh I will let you know as soon as you answer my questions. Are you satisfied? Did it feel goo to hurt her once again? And you know what the worst part is? She didn’t even cry Merrick. She took it silently and she walked away. She didn’t shed a tear. Congratulations asshole. You just fucking broke her to PIECES! You happy?!” His every word seeped venom and hatred

I understood that he hated my very existence but I still had the right to know what I did and the right to get angry. So I lunged out and grabbed him by the collar and dragged him up.

“Either you tell me what I did or I beat it out of you asshole!” I growled right into his face. He didn’t even seem fazed but he just blinked.

“And that will not get me to talk, instead, it will backfire and Lex will hate you to a point where she can’t stand to look at you” He smirked. Cocky bastard.

I let go of him, well more like pushed him back and he flew and crashed into the chair he was sitting on. He let out a grunt as he pulled himself upright.

“What the hell was that for?” He asked as he walked right up to me. I pushed him back to get some space. I didn’t see what Allie liked about this jerk.

I let out a frustrated sight before I decided to turn around and walk away but I bumped against a very angry looking history teacher.

“You and you” He pointed to Will and then me.

“In my class…Now” If I wasn’t going to get answers out of Will then maybe my history teacher can tell me something.

Pushing my hands inside my pocket, I followed him into his classroom which was also the homeroom of Lex and I.          

Gabriel sat down on his desk and motioned for Will to close the door. He looked grim when his eyes fell on me. He had the same look Will had. I seriously must have down something wrong.

His look of hatred disappeared to a neutral blank face.

“What was all that about?” He said calmly. I looked at Will and then back at Gabriel. If I tell the truth, then I might be stuck here a long time. However if I lied, then I can get away faster and find out what had gone wrong.

“Nothing…we just had a little disagreement” I looked back at Will, glaring at him and silently asking him to agree.

He gave a curt nod and slipped his hands into his pocket. Gabriel eyed us both and then he motioned to Will to get out of the room. He left without a word but I remained there. Yea, I had definitely done something very wrong.

“I don’t know what I did Sir” I said before he could say anything. He narrowed his eyes and pulled out his first drawer and grabbed something. He placed it onto the desk in front of me. Well more like threw it in front of me.

My eyes bulged out of my head as soon as I saw the photo.

Shit!

LEXI P.O.V

I sat down on the couch; my head leaned against the armrest of the sofa. My thoughts kept replaying in my head over and over in my head. Rafe. That fucking photograph. It just hurt more and more to think about it. I wanted to cry, to let it all out but I couldn’t. No tears were left. I was finally all out of the one thing that released and eased my pain a little.

I sat there for a full hour and I didn’t speak or move. I was literally lost in my own thoughts that I didn’t hear my mom coming in and sitting down beside me. She put a hand against my forehead to feel my temperature. She muttered something about fever but then she got up and walked away.

A few minutes later, she came back and shook my shoulder.

“Sweetie…you need to get up and go to bed. You have a 45 degree fever” Her words sounded foreign to my ears but nonetheless, I managed to push myself up weakly and walk up to my bedroom.

I lay down in bed and just stared up at the ceiling. I closed my eyes and I was swallowed into darkness.

THE NEXT DAY

That night, I hadn’t dreamt anything and there were no nightmares. My night wasn’t peaceful either. All I did was toss and turn the whole time. I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t think properly.  My fever had calmed down for a bit but my body was still heated up.

“You were told to stay in bed” Will grunted as he came and stood behind me. I turned around and gave him a small smile before pushing my things into the locker. I was told to stay in bed but then, Rafe would think that he had some kind of hold over me. That he still affected me. I will show to him that he didn’t anymore, even if that was complete bullshit. But there is no harm in pretending now is there.

The bell rung and I pushed the books around in my locker, looking for my science work book. The students hurried to their next class while a few lingered around the toilets and others just walked out of the front door. It was almost empty and that’s when he decided to show up.

His presence was felt before it was seen. He walked up to me and just casually leaned against the locker beside me. A lazy breath- taking smirk was on his lips.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw his hair had been messy and he wore a white shirt and dark blue denim jeans. He looked as hot as he was the day I met him.

I tried my best to ignore him. I tried my hardest to not look up at him when I walked past his body but I couldn’t ignore it when he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back and pressed me against the locker gently.

Unlike other situations of me being pressed or pushed against something, he was always quick, intimate and intimidating; he usually did it to kiss me. But right now, he was gentle, as if he was nervous that I might break. In ways, I was about to break.

He didn’t hold me but he put both his arms on either side of my head to prevent me from escaping. His searing storm eyes stared into mine intently but it didn’t hold something I was hoping for. Guilt. He wasn’t guilty about kissing some other girl after he had kissed me.

I turned to duck out of his cage but his hand slid down and blocked my path “We have to talk” He said huskily into my ear. It sent pleasant shivers down my spine that I resisted the urge to press myself against him.

He leaned in close to me and I froze. He was going to fucking play with my head again but this time, I wasn’t going to let him. I put a hand against his chest and shoved him back. He didn’t move but he didn’t come forward and kiss me either. I guess it was better he was just standing there.

“I don’t want to talk or hear any more bullshit you have to say Rafe. I am done being your chew toy or any other kind of object you just play around with. I’m done being played around by you.” I glared up at him but his eyes were blank. I wasn’t getting any emotion from him.

“I don’t want to see you again unless I really have... Got it?” I bit out the words but my throat seemed to close up. I did want to see him again but I don’t want to get played again.

“How can you blame me for that photo when you haven’t even heard my side of the story Lexi” He said. Lexi….I was always Lex for him. He was very calm. Showed how much he cared about me. He didn’t give a shit about me. If he did then I should have seen something in those dark eyes.

He opened his mouth again but before he could speak, my knee came up and rammed right in between his thighs. He let out a grunt and bent over with his hands on his knees.

 “I said I don’t want to listen. You’ll just lie and toy around with me again you jerk!”
