"Stop doing that."
"What?" V popped some bubbles, or whatever you call, on the bubble wrapper.
I groaned, "Come on!"
She pouted, putting it away. "Hey, it's fun. Why don't you try it for once?"
"I don't have time for that. We have to meet the person I assigned you to set up an appointment with."
"Let me just bring-"
"No!"
———————————————-
"Lauren I..."
She shifted on the couch uncomfortably, her fingers fiddling. I furrowed my eyebrows at her, my confusion started rising.
"What is it?" I asked.
She sat there in silence, not uttering a single word to me. I sighed, seeing her uncomfortable also makes me liked that.
I know that I needed more information, honest ones, for my own research in this relationship. Although, I have to make myself relax and not shout out everything my mad mind is saying.
These feelings gets the best of me.
Not only that, it makes me worried seeing her like that. Never in my life have seen this sunshine looks so 'not-fine' on opening up. Well, who does anyway?
I put my hand on top of her's, where it rested on her lap. "Take your time." I locked my fingers with hers, squeezing her hand to reassure her.
Her eyes looked at me like she doesn't want to. It took her awhile to get calm from her clouded thoughts, based on my observation. The dark chocolate brown eyes stared at me, "I-I..." She took a pause again, releasing a shaky breath. "There were family problems of mine which I don't want you to be in it."
My brows scrunch up in confusion, "What kind of problems?"
I was accepted to her family after all...Right?
"Uhm...Remember my brother right...?" She asked. Her voice was so small that it could barely be heard.
"Yes. I remembered him." I answered shortly, wanting to know faster. I pulled her arm, uncrossing my legs so that she could sit on my lap. She looked at me un approvingly, shaking her head. But, she was immediately brought by my force.
I felt like she needed comfort. I had a feeling like this thing was really bad and for one hundred percent sure she would cry.
"We kinda have some arguments about you... He came later drunk. My parents weren't there that time nor Camila because they wen't for a business trip. My brother... He beaten me up. I didn't have the strength, as it was a surprise for him to burst inside my room so late at night. He talked so many inappropriate words, saying bashful words like that. And he..." She hid her face on my neck, taking a deep breath as well. "He raped me...But it wasn't the first time he did that." She said weakly, voice turning into a whisper.
I hugged her more tightly than natural, rubbing her back up and down. Nothing could explain the anger I have right now. I could fucking kill that guy, yet I didn't know where his location at this moment.
Nevertheless, that also answered my question ever start our first relationship.
Many people talked about Ally, saying she's a virgin and shit in school, not really shit but things I wouldn't like to hear. Asking her if she was is so inappropriate.
Why the heck would I do that?
"He did it before?"
"Yes." She uttered out, "I was only young that time, my parents weren't divorced yet. They are both gone that time, having something else to be fixed in work. My brother wanted to play a game with me, so as the kid I was, I played with him. But little did I know, it was a trick, as far as I remember. Then, the nightmares started, having myself being distant to him." She sniffled. Despite her being so sad and all at this state, a tear never drop from her eyes.
I looked at her, my eyes going soft. "Why did you never had nightmares when we did it? or some deja vu?"
"I was comfortable with you. You had a soft side..."
My heart fluttered at her answer. I smiled, soon flattening, realizing something. "How'd that became a reason?"
"He said he would hurt you, I know he wouldn't do that because your a master at fighting. Though, he would hurt Camila and our parents, sort of. I didn't want that, I couldn't also say that to you. He would hurt me to."
My fingers brushed her golden locks, "Where's he right now?"
"I don't know.."
"Don't lie to me."
"I really don't know Lauren..." She looked at me innocently.
"Alright." I pecked her cheek, "So now, what you know about my dad and Lucy Vives?"
"Wait before I answer that, can I ask something?"
"What is it?"
"Uhm... So does this means we're okay now?" I nodded in reply, "Could I also go back to my se-"
"No. You're staying on my lap." I laid my head against her chest. "Answer my question woman."
She started the long, like really long ass story. From the beginning of our relationship, and to the present time we have. I could of sworn to myself I wasn't falling a sleep. By Ally's observation, she said I did and slapped my cheek, making my eyes widened.
Later on, we were both snuggling, satisfied on our answers. Nevertheless, a question came popping again in my mind.
"What's going on with you and that other blonde hair." I brought up the topic again which was answered like last week.
She chuckled, "Nothing Lauren. We're just friends."
"You guys don't look like friends..." I honestly said, worried laid in my voice.
"Don't worry," She pecked my forehead. "I can assure you that we are friends."
Why do I feel so small?
She only pecked my forehead why-
Can't you be quiet for once?
But- are we getting small?
The only's getting small is you.
Bad.
Your the bad one here brain.
My ridiculous thoughts was interrupted by Ally speaking, "What you should worry about is your former bestfriend."
"I am. That's why i'm finding out whose that Pizza girl, if that's her name."
"Gosh Lauren, It's Perrie!" She mentally face palmed.
I rolled my eyes, not caring about the name. "Well, sorry. I didn't actually know her name, so Perry the platypus it is."
She sighed, stiffling her laugh. "Shut up."
"But no, i'm serious here. Like, she just suddenly popped nowhere and enrolled in our school. What the fuck is she? An Alien?" I received a soft slap on
my cheek again, Ally reminding me about my language. I didn't care at all actually, "Come on Ally, Lucy might paid her-"
"Of course not." She stated. "Stop bashing that beautiful woman Lauren. She's nice."
"Oh now your calling her beautiful and nice? Alright, we're breaking up." I jokingly said. She rolled her eyes, sitting beside me. "Okay i'm really seriou-"
"When did you ever became serious?"
I glared at her, continuing what I was about to say. "Ally, Lucy is rich. She can hire any people here, might kill you or me."
"Lauren, that's silly. She wouldn't kill you, I would be killed because i'm the obstacle, aren't I?"
"For me you aren't, I would rather let you live you know." I said to her.
"No, you should be the one. Wait no, Let's not talk about this. We need to stay positive."
"Positive my shit."
"Lauren!"
