Chapter 10

-THE START-

Thorn's POV

After we got home, she quickly opened the door and slammed it hard leaving me alone inside the car. I must've hurt her big time.

I never had the chance to say sorry or to talk to her because she stayed inside her room the whole time, sometimes I saw her mom standing in front of her door knocking but she never dared to open up.

And on the night, I kept hearing her tiny sniffles and sobs. She's already out from the guest room and her room was located beside my room and only a not so thick wall is separating our rooms so I can clearly hear all her moves inside her room. I know I'm being creepy but even if I don't want to hear them I don't have any choice...not with this wall between us and I can't helped but to wonder if she can hear every movement I make in my room too. I'm usually silent so we don't know.

My friends called me and invited me to the club and some parties which I accepted because staying here won't do any good to me. I will just end up loosing my sanity.

They asked me what happened after the party and of course I told them that we reached home safe and that we're just fine and I'm thankful that they bought it because if I utter one more thing I might end up bursting it all out which I don't want to happen.

Kyle never failed to asked what Francine is doing, so was Chase, and I didn't know why but I suddenly felt annoyed and mad about them..I felt like they're taking something that belongs to me. Damn, I'm so fucked up.

They also asked why did I punched the guy in the party and I told them the truth then they kept on saying how will they beat the guy again after he'll gonna be discharged from the hospital.

÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷

I spent my days staying at Kyle's house and partying with him and the others.
Everyfuckingday, Francine's name is the only thing that's going out his mouth and I swear I'm just fighting the urge to kill the shit out of him.

"She's so beautiful bro, if only I have the chance I will grab it and make her my girlfriend---" That's it. I slammed my hands on the table that made his words hanged in the air with open mouth as he looked at me startled and shock.

"Fucking stop it Kyle.. you're gross, don't tell me you like that old woman." I snapped at him and he just responded me with a hilarious chuckle that made me angrier.

He slumped himself on the couch beside me then played the TV remote while smiling. Don't fucking tell me that he really likes her. Shit, this can't be happening.

"Old woman my ass bro, didn't you saw her at the pool party? She's perfect..and she's sweet and innocent." Yes..I saw it, CLEARLY. That I almost pulled her out of the water and kissed her fucking inviting red lips and locked her up inside my room so that your filthy eyes won't see her.

"I'm telling you, she's far from that.. she's a devil and she's childish, trust me bro you won't even want to be with her in a long period of time when you know her real self." I inhaled deeply using my mouth as the smoke from my cigarette fills mine then I huffed them out a seconds later.

"Woah Thorn, are you ruining Francine behind her back? Dude that ain't cool at all." He shook his head in disbelief and I just scoffed finishing my cigarette.

"I'm just saying the truth."..is it really the truth?

"How'd you know the truth? You only spend one night with her..or one day? You don't even know her favorite color." He's right..I haven't got to know her and yet I'm already judging her, but you can't blame me, they're like the others. Gold digger bitches.

I glared at him and he shot his hands up in the air as if he's surrendering the he laughed at me.
"No worries man, I wasn't going to court her and besides you know the girl who I really like." Yeah, he likes Sophie so much in fact she's his first love and this year he's planning to court her and as his friend, I supported him. Sophie was a gorgeous woman and she's kind so Kyle and her are perfect. "I just admire Francine, she's so sweet and innocent and she's easy to be with if you know how to. I want her to be my close friend and she looks like Kyla.."
He added. Sadness can be heard from his voice and I can't blame him for that. Kyla is his little sister, she died from a car accident when she's 16 and I admit she looks like Francine. The only difference is their eyes and hair. Kyla has a brown eyes like Kyle and she has a short jet black straight hair while Francine's eyes are green with a silver lining and her hair is dark chocolate, straight, but wavy at the end.

"Yeah..", I paused. "..she is."
I gave him a pat on the back and he smiled at me. He was going to say something but we're interrupted by the buzzing of my phone.

I took it out and it's dad. I wonder what he's going to say.
Kyle nodded at me assuring that he's alright then I stood up taking the call.

"Hey Dad." I answered casually as I put my hand on my pocket then leaned on the door frame while looking outside.

[Hey son, can you come over here we need to discuss something.]

"Just the two of us?"

[No Thorn, of course including Francine and Marissa.]

Great..I have to face her now.

"So what's it about?"

[I'll tell you when you're here.]

Is it just me or he sounds really happy today. Well nevermind, I don't care anyways.

"Okay then, bye." I ended the call then puts my phone back to my pocket as I walks towards Kyle and told him what happened then after he says 'Good luck' with a mocking laugh, I left his house. That guy is a psycho.

÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷

It took me 2 hours to reached the house because of that damn traffic.

Breathing deeply, I slowly opened the door and I furrowed my eyebrows because no one is here. The coast is clear, no maids at all.

I looked upstairs to check if someone's there but I found none. So odd.

Walking to the kitchen, I was stopped by a female voice and I turned around.

"Hey Thorn." I forced a smile then nodded my head at Marissa. She's simple, kind, gentle and caring but I can't seem to bring myself to like her. I don't know why I feels like she's stealing my mom's spot.

"Your father's waiting for you at the dining table, come on." She walked towards me and I nodded again as we walked together to the kitchen only to found dad reading a newspaper with his coffee.

"Thorn, I'm glad you make it." He put down the newspaper then took a sip from his coffee before bringing his eyes to me with a smile on his lips.

Okay, wow they're both glowing as fuck.

"Yeah." I simply mumbled as I heard footsteps getting closer from where are we sitting right now.

I know it's her because her flowery vanilla scent are already filling my nostrils making my tensed muscles, relaxed.

Shit, pull yourself together Thorn.
