Against my arranged marriage.

chapter four - I still can't marry you whether you're nice to me or not.

~laura~

i woke up in my bed, feeling normal... thats weird i could've sworn that someone had hit me with something? i remember it so clearly, and i'm pretty sure it wasn't a dream. I didn't have a bump, a mark or anything to prove that i had been hit, maybe i should just leave it?

I turned around and looked a my alarm clock,

6:41 am.

school, it's morning? it was evening last time i was awake, i never sleep from evening all the way through to morning, this is really weird.. i'm unsure if i'm okay, i don't know what's going on. Is the person reponsible for hitting me with something (more than likely my parents.) trying to cover it up.. It's all theories, i don't want theories i want the truth, i want to know what really happened.

But for the meantime, i have schoo, i better get ready..

By seven am, i was ready i didn't take long at all today, but i also had fourty-five minutes until ash would come and pick me up, see if i had my phone, i could text him and ask him, but no. This is what happens when you have horrible, patheitc parents.

I went to walk out of my bedroom, and i spotted it.. My phone on my dressing table, typical i was just thinking about what if i had my phone, and then it turns up on my dressing table, this is weird, i feel like someone is messing with me, playing mind games. It's either that or my parents feel guilty about what they more than likely, done to me and gave my phone back because they have a guilty conscience.

I went downstairs, to get my school shoes.. I don't want to bump into anyone, i don't want a repeat of anything which has already happened.

Nobody was home.

Nobody at all.

Thats weird, really weird. Someones always home.

Maybe my parents finally decided to get up off their lazy butts and got themselves a job, and then i won't have to marry Luke.

I highly doubt that, they're not going to get a job if they know they can use me to pay their debt back instead, so i might as well stop making up these little scenerios, and hoping that they will come true.

I texted ash to ask him if he could come and get me earlier, because i feel like there's something not right in this house at this very moment, and i'm kinda scared.. I didn't explain that to Ash, but he said that he would be straight over anyway.

A knocked on the front door; please be ash.

I opened it, aw my nerdy, cute best friend.. His brown hair was ruffled by the wind, i stroked it back, because it was annoying me.

"Hey! don't touch my hair Laura." Ash told me, as soon as i got out of the front door,

"Sorry." i sarcastically replied,

"I'm joking Laura, you can touch my hair anytime you want." he smiled, as we got into his car...

Um thats a really weird thing to say, but i think he's just being nice to me, so i'll take no notice of it.

"So why did you want me to give you a lift earlier than usual then Laura?" Ash asked me, i think he's trying to make a conversation, rather than being nosy.

"Oh don't judge me. But something really weird happened at my house last night, and i was like pretty shaken up by it this morning, and i didn't want to stay at mine alone any longer, so i messaged you." i explained.

Ash placed his hand onto my leg, but his eyes stayed glued to the road,

"I would never judge you laura."
