Behind Everything...

Chapter 25

Why Peter is so nice to me? Why is he helping me? 

These questions swam inside my head. "I told him about you and guess what. He felt sorry for you and after then he said he would convince Mr Oscar and see what happen. It worked! Isn't it great?", Jasper asked excitedly. Unfortunately, I was still not as impressed as Jasper with Peter because somewhere in my heart, it didn't feel right. "Oh come on Vikky, don't be so ungrateful. At least thank him when he comes, okay?", he said and I nodded. I can't break Jasper's heart, because of me, he already has enough enemies in the school

Jasper left home earlier than me as he said that his uncle is coming home and I bid him goodbye. Jasper's uncle is never too kind to him and I just hate the fact. Even though Jasper can live by himself but he still needs some support. I'm glad that even his grandma doesn't like us, my family never hesitate to help Jasper's. 

As I was about to get my bicycle from the parking spot, someone stopped me. It was no one but Jasper's new friend, Peter, "Hey! You don't look good. Are you okay?", I don't know why but for a moment, I felt weird. He didn't seem normal to me. He reminds me of something but it's strange that I've met him before. Looking me confuse, he said, "Are you fine?". "Yeah, I am", quickly I managed to look okay so that he doesn't ask me any further questions.

"Well, I just wanted to thank you", I said, all though I didn't want to let things happen like that. First, I didn't like whatever he did to me cause I hate favours. Flavours are supposed to do for friends, not for some strangers. Suddenly the thought of helping Tristan home flashed inside my mind. 

Tristan is definitely a stranger to me but I ruined his day so I had to do that for him. Why even I'm thinking of him. 

" Thank you? For what? Oh, that's nothing. We should definitely help each other, isn't it? And you did a great job. Katherine is lucky to have you as her friend", he said while giving his perfect smile to me. "Oh no! First, I don't know Katherine, second, I was not talking about it helping Katherine but I was talking about the carnival. You talked to Mr Oscar?", I almost yelled at him. "Well are you too surprised or too angry with me?", he said while scratching his head. 

"Well, let me clear this thing to you, I don't need your help. Do you understand?", angrily I stated. "Oh come on Vikky, friends must have each other's back", he said while patting my shoulder. "First of all, Do not touch me again and second, I.AM.NOT.YOUR.FRIEND! Did you get that?", I said while jerking off from his touch and tried to control my temper but I think, he was in the mood of getting nicely from me and surely I was ready for that. "Oh, don't say that sweetheart", he again ruffles my hair.

"Please, Don't call me that and I won't be happy if you touch me again", I said quietly. "Aww, why not. Did you find me attractive? Oh wait, are you ticklish over there?", he said while tried to poke me here and there and by now, I had enough of him so I just grab his hand and twist it.

I know he wasn't expecting that from me, " I TOLD YOU DO NOT TOUCH ME. Listen, I'm warning you for the last time, DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH ME AGAIN. NEVER.EVER.AGAIN", I almost yelled, every single word. As I released him, he was whipping in pain and for a fraction of second, I felt bad. 

Quickly I let go of his hand as, by the time, everyone was staring at us. Before I could ride off from there, I met those blue eyes of Tristan. He was with his new girlfriend and I just rolled my eyes and left.

**The whole incident was eye-witnessed by Professor Greyson but he also just left**

Somehow I parked my bicycle in the yard and quickly ran to my room. Mum yelled at me but I ignored her as I was too embarrassed by today's incident. I threw my shoes somewhere and quickly removed my rubber band and let go of my hair. I drew my hand over hair as I always do whenever I get frustrated.

I turned on the shower and let the hot water pour into my soul. The flashbacks of today's came to my mind and hot tears rolled down my cheeks. Today's incident was not the only thing that made me so upset but those incidents of that night make me so vulnerable. The night when I went to Christina's birthday party. The night when I embarrassed me in front of the whole school. The night when Noah pushed me and called me a slut. The night when I ran outside and I was chased by some drunk guys who misbehave with me. The night when I ran into woods for the first time and found myself.

After having dinner, I tried to find Katherine on the social site as I wanted to know about her well being. When suddenly I found Katherine's friend who has recently transferred to another school last month. I decided to text him. 

After sending him a request, he finally accepted it, so I text him. I was amazed to discover that he was no other than Katherine's ex-boyfriend. They broke up about 5 months ago. They stopped talking to each other and after a bit of talking of him that, he cheated on Katherine and now he regrets it. Somehow I manage to get Katherine's number and quickly I dialled her number.

She didn't pick up. Suddenly I heard some whispers. Quickly decided to follow it and found that it was coming from Mom-Dad's room. Quitely I climb down from the stairs. "She's alive!", the deep male voice said. "Really? Is that true?", the shaky high pitched voice said. I tried to twist the doorknob carefully so that, they won't notice it.

"Yes, but I don't know where she is and also, he has managed to free himself", the same deep voice said. "Oho no. He would kill her", mum almost cried. "No-no, he can't hurt her" I could see mum, her eyes were glowing. Her eyes were something that always shows nervousness but today, for the first time I saw something, something I've never seen before. As if those were saying something. Before I know, a tear slip from her eye and that made me angry. I hate to see my loved ones cry. 

Who's this guy? Why he's making my mum cry? Whom he's talking about?

All these questions were bothering me and quietly I tried to pull my dragger out but unfortunately, he saw. "Who's there?", he yelled from the room. I decided to reveal myself to him. The man was were a mask. I noticed his hazel eyes became nervous. "Who are you? Remove your mask", I ordered him while pointing the dragger towards him and took my defensive position.

 He gave me a strange look as if he wasn't expecting that from me, of course, how would he. "Vikky, please, don't hurt him", my mother pleaded. "But why mum? Isn't he was the one who made you cry?", I said, still not ready to let him go. "Vikky please, just listen to me", mum again pleads to me. "I don't understand why are y-", he just pushed me. "Bran NO!", mum yell.

Quickly, I get up and then I realize what mum just said. "What?".

Before I could understand something hit my legs, causing me to fell down over my knees and quickly I tried to look back at him and suddenly he put his hand over my head and slowly everything black out soon. Before blacking out, I saw his hazel eyes again and suddenly I remember. "Dad...", it was the only thing I said before completely become unconscious.
