How Could You

Chapter 13

" Does it still hurt?" Dylan asked as I held a ice pack to my hip. " The pain is decreasing, but it's still going to hurt." I slowly take the ice pack off and reveal a huge bruise. I looked at the time.

As if it was planed, I got a message. ' Want to have a girls night tonight? We can go shopping, the swimming, then sleep over?' It was Rydel. I texted her back. ' You sure. Meet me at my house in 15?'

' Okay! Seen you soon!' I texted her back saying by. I got up and got dressed. " You really think that this is a good idea?" Dylan asked concerned. " I'm not going to let them ruin my life. If I want to hang out with my old, new friend. Then I'm going to do it." I say proudly.

He smiled at me. " I'm proud of you." He gave me a hug. I pulled back and smiled.

I was happy I was doing this too. I'm not going to let them ruin my life. If been caged inside for a long time. I was usually never allowed to leave the house. Unless it was for school or a job. I'm sick of living like this. I have to do something.

I heard a car horn beep. I made my way to the front door and my dad comes down the stairs. " Where do you think you're going?!" He yelled. I shook my head and ran fast out the door.

I quickly jumped into the car and told her to step on it. She quickly took off as my dad stood in the middle of the street, arms crossed.

" Who was that?" She asked as she slowed down. She looked at me for a quick second then turned back to the road. " My dad." I groaned. " Why was he cashing after you?" She pulled into the mall parking lot.

" He didn't want me to leave. But, I don't want him to bring down my mood just yet. I'll talk about it later, let's just shop!" I chirped. She grinned and took off running into the store.

After a couple hours of successful shopping, I got 3 pairs of shorts, 5 pairs of pants, 4 shirts and a new bikini.

" The boys are on there way home now. When do you want to get ready?" Rydel asked me setting her self beside me. " When ever you want to." I shrug.

She pulls my hand and led me to her room. She handed me my bikini and I walked into the bathroom. As I took of my shirt, I totally forgot about my bruise. I don't have a clue on how to hide it.

Maybe Rydel and I will just tan. I can hide my bruise with a towel! I grabbed one and wrapped it around me. I didn't make it to tight because it would hurt.

"Ready?" She jumped up from her spot on the couch. I nod and walk out back. I quickly made my way over to the chairs.

After about 10 minutes, the boys were in the pool fooling around. Rydel and I still tanning. I had my eyes shut, so all I see was red. Then it went black. I felt water dripping onto my stomach.

" Umm. Do you mind? Your blocking my sun." I tolled the mystery person. They didn't move. I snapped my eyes open to see Ross standing there. He smirked. What was he doing.

" What are you doing?" I asked. He grinned again. This time, I new what he was going to do. Before I could say anything, he had picked my up by the waist, but he grabbed exactly where my wound is.

I screamed in pain. Everyone was looking at me as Ross quickly put me back down. I was bending over in agony. " Lucy, what's wrong?" I looked into Ross concerned face.

I slowly stood up and showed them my bruise, tears forming in my eyes. Everyone gasped. Why did his have to happen?!

Ross pov;

I slowly ran my hand over her wound. There was Only One thing I was worried about about this. How did it happen.

" Lucy, how did that happen?" I asked sternly. She started to cry. I pulled her in for a huge as I ran my hand through her hair. Rydel came over to us and started to rub her back.

" Lucy." She moves her head away from my chest and looked at me. I run my thumb across her cheeks to wipe away the tears. " How did this happen?" I asked softly. She looked down and mumbled something.

" What?" Rydel asked. " People." She mumbled, but I could clearly hear her. Angry boiled inside me. Who could someone do this to her?! " Who." I said through grinned teeth.

" Can we just forget about this?" She asked stepping and wiping away her tears. " Why?" I step towards her. " Please." Her voice was quite as she looked up at me with those big blue eyes.

" Fine I sighed. I new she wanted me to drop it, so I did. But I need to find out who did this to her, and why. I'll ask her tonight.
