The Lost Touch

Chapter 16- Weak

The weekend got over real soon with I binge-watching rom-com movies. This Monday was no better than other Mondays. I had already snoozed my alarm twice, so I was running late again.

I didn't even have time to comb my hair. I rushed downstairs and into the car without having breakfast.

"Aurelia Parker, come back right here and take your lunch!" mom shouted from inside the house.

I ignored her so Andy went and brought my lunch, while I was busy combing my hair with the help of a rearview mirror. Soon we reached the school. It couldn't have been more embarrassing for me, and all the stares made it worse. I could hear people whispering things about' beer pong queen'. Nobody dared to come near as long as Andy was there with me. The whole day my mind kept taking me back to how foolish I was to play beer pong and that too win against Aarold. Even though I tried to hide behind Andy at lunchtime, people kept staring. Don't they have any other business other than destroying someone's day? As Andy had football practice today after school, Zach was the one dropping me home.

I had been waiting for Zach near his car for what seemed like ages but there was no sign of him coming out of the gate.

Suddenly I felt someone tapping on the opposite window loudly, so I turned and peeped inside the car to see no one. As I was about to turn back again, a blonde boy appeared in front of me like a fairy. I remembered him from the party last night. He was one of my team members in beer pong.

"Hey," I said, almost having a heart attack. And trying my best not to look at him.

"Hey, sweetheart. Why won't you look at me?" he said forcing his hand on my chin.

I tried to push him away and run, but he found it more exciting like that.

"Look I won't harm you," he said, completing "until you come with me at my apartment."

"No, please leave me alone. Help!" I started shouting like a maniac.

This was the first time I dealt with some unknown person trying to grope me. He pulled my hair and covered my mouth tightly with a cloth and held my hands tightly with one of his hands.

"Baby doll, I know you are a slut. And Zach is not coming here till 7. So it's me and you alone. Stop whining you slut. So weak."

He said getting angry and pulling my hair harshly. I closed my eyes quickly as tears ran out of them. He tied my hands with a rope and was about to take me towards what seemed like his car.

"What do you think you were doing, you son of a bitch?"

I found that voice familiar, but I didn't have any energy to look who it clearly was before I blacked out.

Ryder's POV

I heard some weird noise coming near Zach's car. After some time the voice resided. I kept walking towards his car ensuring no one was there to damage it.

But what I saw there made me want to be a murderer. I saw Aurelia leaning on a car with ruffled hair and cheeks sore from crying while an asshole was trying to kiss her. I really felt he should no longer stay on this Earth.

"What do you think you were doing, you son of a bitch?" I shouted going towards him.

The next second, I pulled him by his collar and beat the hell out of him. I went near Aury to see her unconscious lying on the ground, her hands tied with a rope and mouth stuffed with cloth. I quickly untied her hands. I picked her up and carried her to my car and took her to my home rather than hers. Her skin felt icy cold against my body. All she needed was rest. Why does she always have to be unconscious around me? She felt like a baby panda against me. She had bruises all over her face and her lip was bleeding a bit. I took some cotton and cleaned her bruises.
