Infliction

Chapter 3

"Destiny,Destinyyyyy" I woke up immediately thinking that my Aunt is waking me up like everyday, but to my relief it was my mom. "Destinyy. How are you my girl?" "Mom, how was your trip?" "It was amazing, I have got something for you wait." She got up and went to bring something she has bought for me. Whenever she went for a bussiness trip she used to get something for me and Heather. I was thinking that my bad days were on hold for sometime but I was wrong, "MOM" a raspy masculine voice shouted from hall, suddenly I heard someone's footsteps, someone was coming up, I got up to lock my room's door but he reached there before me.

My face turned pale, he was standing infront of me, just an inch of distance between us. "Hello, beautiful" he moved a strand of my hair behind my ear. "Missed me,eh?" I was in no state of answering. He moved his hand over my cheeks, I gathered my strenght and pushed him away. "Don't touch me" I wanted to sound angry but I sounded low as if I was scared of him, which was true. "Oh my baby" he punched me on my stomach and went away.

I sat there holding my stomach, whincing in pain. "Aah!" A tear rolled down, "Destiny, you okay girl?" My mom was standing there looking at me with her eyes filled with pain. "I-I am okay" she helped me get up and made me sit on my bed. "What happened to you? Why are you crying honey?" "My stomach hurts" "I was planing a shopping spree but its okay honey. We will stay at home." She loved shopping, I didn't wanted her to cancel the plan because of me. Plus, if she was planning a shopping spree she will definately take Charlie for her, which was really good. "No mom, I'll stay at home. I don't want you to cancel your plans for me."

"Honey, I don't want to leave you alone." "Mom,I'll be okay, trust me."  "MOM!" It was Charlie, he was still looking for mom, "Destiny's room" I started sweating, even though it was cold outside. I didn't wanted to face him again, what if my mom decided to leave him here with me? "Mom, have you seen my varasity jacket?" "Its here" She pointed at a bag, I didn't noticed till now "Why is his bag here in my room?" I immediately covered my mouth, I was not supposed to say it out loud, in front of him. "Destiny the other room is under construction. So I thought that you can share your room with him."

My eyes widened, as if I have seen a ghost in front of me, I couldn't believe it. She was asking me to share my room with him. I'll prefer sharing my room with snakes and lions than to do it with him. "But mom, why don't you shift to my room?" The smile from Charlie's face disappeared, I turned my face away "Destiny, I guess we should respect mom's decision. She might have thought about it before asking us to do this, and I think we will be able to know each other well. We are friends right." The way he said friends didn't sound good to me. He moved forward and placed his hands on my shoulder.

My mom looked at him as if he just gave the most inspirational speech and then what happened next was even worse, "Well, that's good. I guess I'll take Heather with me for shopping and you two can stay home and know each other more." What do you call it when your life is going perfectly according to your will? Yes, imagination. I hate her for this, she can't do this to me. She is my mom. Well his too, but no, tears threatened to move out. "Mom, I want to join you" I said absolutely mindlessly. "Your stomach?" "I am okay" I got up but charlie pushed me down, "Destiny why don't you listen to her? What is wrong with you?" He glared down at me, and bent down near my ear,"let me do the talking" then he turned towards mom, "Mom, I think she needs some rest, you can go for shopping" She smiled with satisfaction. "Ah! Charlie, thank you so much darling."

She kissed his head and then bent down towards me, "Take care honey" she moved her hand on my head and then left. She left me alone with him. I was just wondering what was going to happen next. Just by thinking about it, gave me chills. He ran down, saying goodbye to mom and Heather and locked the door. I ran as fast as I could and locked myself inside my room, and sat kneeling down next to the door, crying.

Soon he came back again, banging the door as loud as he could, "DESTINY OPEN THE DOOR RIGHT NOW." I didn't answer him, a few more tears flowed down. "DESTINY I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME" He tried unlocking the door which sent shivers down my spine. "DESTINY" The door flung open. He threw the bottle down in anger, and it shattered down into a million pieces. I closed my eyes out of fear, she grabbed my shirt and pulled me up. "WHY THE HELL DID YOU LOCK THE DOOR WHEN YOU KNEW THAT I WAS COMING?" I moved my eyes up, his neck viens were visible, his face completely red with anger. "You are scaring me" He pinned me up against the wall and wiped off some tears, he leaned forward and whispered, "I haven't even done anything any thing to scare you Destiny, trust me."

I slide down next to the wall and sat down, he came down along me with, "Baby, you know what?" I kept looking down, "You look even more pretty when you are scared." When I thought that it was the end of my life, the door bell rang. "What the-" He got up and went down, I didn't knew what to do, I sat there lifeless and tears went down non-stop. I was so thankful to whosoever rang the bell and I was just praying that, he won't come back again.

When he didn't came up back again, I cleaned my room and myself and went down to see who it was. I saw a girl with blonde hair sitting next to him on the couch. I wonder who she was. I leaned a bit more forward to look at her, I think she was of my age. "Rebecca, I am sorry but you'll have to leave now. I'll message you tomorrow."

Rebecca was my childhood bestfriend, we had a fight last year because of her boyfriend. I never knew she was seeing him. He closed the door and I ran back into my room again. I was thinking that he'll do something again but he closed the lights and went to sleep. Which was something unexpected.
