Life of Mine

CHAPTER 9: She is fragile

Grey's POV

Bored in this party I went through, I decided to go somewhere and enjoy in the silence. I let out a huff as a I entered the car and started the engine. I drive silently and pick something pleasant music to be hear with. My hands rummage through my music files and landed to a specific one. Middle...

I don't care who sings it but I decided to sing along...

I hope🎶 that i can
turn back the time🎤
To make it all alright 🎵
All alright for us🎵
I promise to build🎤 a new world🎵 for us two🎶
With you in the middle 🎤

As I stare outside the window, I saw a lake near the road. I find it cool to enjoy the silence in here even tho it has many people roaming around. I can still find the peace at this place. I decided to stop by and park my car and went outside.

While walking, I saw girls making lovey dovey stairs at me and I find it funny. I don't give shits for that right now.

"Why I was born to be tortured?!" I slightly jump out to hear that familiar feminine like glass shattering voice. I look to my side and saw her throwing the cup of ice cream.

I came closer,"Definitely not an eco-friendly" I say that makes her jump from her sit. I find it amusing.

"Sorry I didn't mean to startle you," I sit beside her and my eyes averted to her face. She cried? Her eyes was red and puffy and she was sobbing like there's no tomorrow. She's cute.

"Its okay," she replied tiredly.

I look at her and ask, "For a girl like you, why are you sitting her all alone in the middle of the night balling your eyes out?" She let out a sob and sighed.

"I was just staying away from those bad people." What? Bad people? Her words doesn't made sense. What is she talking about. This girl had really been experiencing something.

"Are they the reason why are you crying like there's no tomorrow?," she chuckles as I finish my sentence.

"Yup! I thought ice cream will make me feel better but it get the situation a lot of worst." She mumbles while hugging her feet and pout like a baby. This girl will really be my weakness.

I stared at the distance trying to construct a sentence to open up something but she asked me.

"Why are you here?" She scrunched her nose and took another sob.

"It was just boring attending to some random people's party. So I decided to go out and have a fresh air until I saw this lake here" I exclaimed roaming my eyes around the place.

"Oh, well its nice he--" she stop and sneeze. "Please excuse my rudeness. I'm really sorry."

"No no no its okay... I think you should better be home right now before you catch a cold", I said while standing up.

"No!" She replied instantly. I gave her a questioning look that means she should explain why.

"I don't want to face my parents wrath back there. Better to stay here all night and catch colds than to face those people that makes you suffer more than colds", she says yawning. I really see how tired she was, as if one wrong move will be executed and she will be broken into shattered pieces.

I remember I have an extract hoodie in my car and decided to get it, for maybe it'll lessen up the freezing air she feels.

"Wait right here. I will get something inside the car," she nodded in response and I jogged towards the car as fast as I could. I grab the jacket and went back to the bench and I was taken aback when I saw her sleeping soundly.

I decided to carry her back to my car and bring her home. To my home. Well, what would be her parents reaction if they saw me carrying there sleeping daughter right? I place her at the backseat of my car and started to drive.

After a couple of minutes in driving. Finally I arrived home, I carry Via straight towards the house and kicked the front door open.

"Who is that?!" My little sister Courtney screams as she saw me carrying a girl in my arms.

"Shhh! Don't wake her up." She covers her mouth and say her sorry. I only smile at the view as she tip toed heading to her room, really trying not to awake this cute girl in my arms.

As Courtney disappears I went inside my room and walk towards my bed. I place Via gently at my bed to avoid awaking her and...good thing she didn't. I took a shower and changed my clothes. I lay in the bed beside this cute sleeping body.

If you want to ask about Courtney, she was my half sister. My father married again after my mom died, good thing the women she married isn't as freak as I expected. She cared for me like her own son, but its just happening sometimes. She's always busy tho.

Laying down next to Via, I watch as she take breathes gently while sleeping soundly. Suddenly she panicked and cry.

"No! Stay away from me! Don't! Please...I'm begging you!" Her voice comes out with pure awful emotions can be feel through it.

"Shh Via...its okay. No one's gonna hurt you," I hugged her as her cries turns out in to a sob.

"Grey... Would you promise me that you'll not gonna hate me even tho I'm not perfect?" She ask while her lips tremble that makes my heart clench.

"Yes, I promise you. I'm not going to hurt you Via and certainly no one will." I say while rubbing circles to her back and surprisingly it calms her down.

After a minute, sleep is begging me to follow it and because of tiredness, I let myself covered with darkness and let my eyes shut.
