After thirty minutes of waiting in complete silence a car shows up. It is a jet black matte jeep with tinted windows and I gawk in shock as I see who comes stepping out. I lock eyes woth none other than Damon and I feel my face warm up. Why is he here and why won't Alex look at me? There is something weird going on here. I look at Rosaline who runs behind me and whispers "who is that?"
"Are you just going to stand there or get in?" He grumbled as if annoyed by my presence. I looked at Rosaline and then to Alex. She gave a perplexed look at him and sighed putting her groceries in his trunk space and I copied her actions.
"Rae you can sit in the front. I will sit in the back with Rosaline." Alex stated which earned her a scowl from Damon. I dismissed his behavior and got into the front seat which in turn everyone else did the same.
I noticed that Damon seemed stiff when he buckled his seat belt and the question was out before I could stop myself, "What is your problem?" I questioned in a pissed off manor. I glanced up at him and he seemed really pissed off. He was holding his steering wheel so tight that his knuckles turned white.
"Why are you so rude?" He snapped back at me.
"Excuse me?" I crossed my arms and huffed as he began to drive as if ignoring me all together. I couldn't help but to want to question how he knew where my house was, but being that he got pissed that I asked a question earlier I decided not to pry.
When we reach my house there are two people standing on the porch waiting for me. My parents. What are they doing here? My eyes widened as I turned around and as quickly as my mouth would let me, I whispered, "Please keep Rosaline with you. Take her to school and keep her safe. Rosaline I love you so much. Stay by Alex's side and listen to her." I quickly grabbed my things hoping my parents wouldn't do anything stupid.
"Rae, she has never been with me." she looked worried.
"Please keep her safe." I cried in desperation as she glanced at Damon. He looked at me completely confused and that was when I sensed the sorrow in his tone when he said, "I reject you as my mate." I had no idea what that meant but his words felt like they crushed me and with his words lingering in my head I left the car.
As soon as I closed the door to his jeep my dad came out of nowhere and pulled my hair, "Hello bitch." the smirk on his face evident. The pain was nonexsistent compared to the pain in my chest. I can't explain why I feel this way. He dragged me into the house by my hair and slammed the door behind him. "Someone went out without permission and left the house a mess." he scowled at me and then he slapped me across the face. "Look at me when I am talking to you!"
My mom entered into the house and walked towards the kitchen with an evil look on her face. I have never seen my parents look so horrifying. I screamed out in pain as I felt something hot splash against my back and I broke into tears as the pain escalated and she whipped my back with a belt. Slowly the pain faded and the world went dark. I was at peace.
