Me, Myself and You

Chapter 5

{Nicole POV}

[Pic of Nicole's foster dad]

"I was 3 when my dad died."

:::::::::::Flashback:::::::::

My dad was driving me home from school cause I had gotten in trouble.

"You can't throw food on other girls like that sweetheart. You have to be nice to everybody."My dad was lecturing me

"She hit me" I whined back.

"You have to learn how to forgive people, even if they do bad things to you. Promise me that Nicole."

That was the last thing he told me before the truck came and knocked us off the bridge. We landed in the water when he took off my seat belt and pushed me out the car When I turned around the car was gone. The rescue team came and got me but it was too late for him.

:::::::End of Flashback:::::

"Because of that I've always forgiven people no matter what, I don't even hate my mom, even though she made my life miserable. I went to visit her today actually. She was mad at me cause I wasn't 'living her dream'. Then she gave me this knife and told me to kill myself."

"Is that what you were going to do?" he asked.

I sat up and picked up my shorts to show him the cut on my thigh. He didn't say anything, he just ran his finger over it. Then he turned off the light.

"Goodnight" he said and he sounded angry.

I decided to sleep in the other bed with Tay Tay since he seemed upset. Later in the middle of the night I had to pee so I went to the bathroom. I washed my hands and when I looked up Ray was right behind me.

"You can't be doing that Ray. You really scared me."

He didn't say anything and walked out. Now I don't know if this is a regular relationship thing that happens. Should I go talk to him? Nah he probably doesn't want to talk. I walked out the bathroom and laid back on the bed but he was in my spot so I went to the other bed.

"You can come here if you want." he called from the other bed.

"I'm fine"

"It's because I'm in it right?" he asked

"No I just thought you wanted your space."

"Why would you cut yourself? How did that help you? Did it make you feel good? Did you just want attention or something?"

Okay why is he still talking about it and no one is seeking attention. He's being really rude right now.

"It actually did. Especially when the blood dripped down my leg. It felt awesome." I said back.

Then he was on top of me, pinning my arms down.

"You're f^cking mental! You think that sh!t is cute!?! Huh?"

His eyes looked right into mine, like he was trying to burn a hole in my face.

"Get off me." I said in a calm voice.

"Why? So you can go cut yourself?"

"Rayan, please get off of me."

He got up and so did I. I put on my slippers and opened the door. I heard him calling behind me and just walked faster. I took the stairs cause I wasn't going to wait for the elevator. I went to the parking lot and sat in the bushes. I haven't talked to my dad in a while and now seems like a perfect time.

{Ray POV}

I walked out the room but she was already gone. I couldn't leave Tay by herself so I put on her sweater and took her with me. She wasn't in the pool, or the gym or even the lobby. I asked the man at the front.
