"Message me when you get there." Mom tells me
"Okay." I slowly walk to my car dreading the day before me.
My mom had woken me up extremely early just to pack my bag to go to Fred's parents' house. I have no choice but to go stay at their house for a couple of days. Mom isn't concerned about school she's only worried about me visiting that 'family'.
I don't know whether I should be scared or angry that I'm going there. Plus I have to speak to Wade about yesterday, since I can't sort my life maybe I can help someone with theirs. I drove to a café and bought my coffee and muffin before heading to school. I was beyond annoyed at every robot the light turned red; I was getting tired of this.
At the last one a black BMW hooted and I peeped to see who it was. Wade smiled and to follow him.
We drove for 5 minutes before stopping.
"Hey love." He hugs me
"Morning Wade." I smiled into the hug
"Seems like you have a lot on your mind." He tilts his head to the side and softly smiles
"Yeah you can say that. I-I just don't know what to do." I sigh
"Want to talk about it." He offers a hand
I grasp his hand and walk towards a bench and sit down. I want to tell him what's troubling me but the same time I don't want to bore him with it. I hope he doesn't see me as weakling or something. I seemed hesitant to tell him at first but I felt I had to let this out.
"That guy you met at the movies is Fred and my mom is forcing me to go for a short holiday to visit his parents to spend quality time with them." I use air quotations
"I don't want to go there because lets just say they hate me. And it's worse for me because I'm going
to be alone. And you see the small scar near my eye, which I got it when Fred's nephew pushed me off the steps and I fell on a sharp iron which cut me." I continue to ramble
You could see how angry he was, he was quiet for a minute but before he asked a question which I
had difficulty replying to.
"Do they hurt you in any way?" he watches my reaction after saying that. I froze and shivered.
How on Earth was I suppose to answer. If I say yes I don't know how he'd react, if I say no he'll say that I'm lying.
"I have my answer." He nods and clenches his jaw.
"You know yesterday when I saw you upset I wanted to check up on you but I chose not to. You needed space to cool off." I said
"Yeah, I just had some stuff to deal with but your company would've been better." He smiles
"Well if you need anything just let me know." I smile softly
We sat in silence for a minute; Wade had this look on his face like he's battling to decide on something.
"If I may suggest this... It would be better for you if you'd have company; I mean I'd be more than
happy to accompany you." He scratches his head
I was at loss for words. Never would I expect him to say that, it was very generous of him though.How could I refuse his offer? But Fred's family if different and I wouldn't want him to be treated like how I am.
"Thank you for your offer, I really appreciate it but I don't want you to be treated like how I-" he cuts
me off
"Riley I don't care how they treat me; I just want to be there for you. Plus I'll handle them and either way I'm coming with you so end of discussion." He literally commands
