The Bad Boy Calls Me Enemy [ COMPLETED]

Making the matter worse

April.

Tears dripped over my cheeks. My hand was hurting like hell as if it was squeezed out of some machine.

"Hazel" Christian whispered near me. I didn't notice him coming to sit down next to me.

I didn't say anything. Was I afraid of him? No, I wasn't. But I sure was confused.

His words resounded in my head. "I can't hate you! You can't be my enemy! No!"

"Look at me." He lifted my face with his hand.

His eyes held pain and disappointment.

"Can you forgive me this one time?" His eyes didn't hesitate to meet mine.

"Only if you tell me what it is that bothering you." I quietly replied.

Ever since he came back he had been yelling and screeching for no reason and don't get me started on the heavy drinking.

"I will." His reply came almost immediately.

After my bruise was treated and which meant when Christian was satisfied that it wouldn't hurt anymore we were in the kitchen. I was preparing dinner and he was staring at me from behind.

"Do you like chicken?" I asked as I washed some lettuce.

"I like everything that you cook." He replied making me grin like an idiot. Thank God I wasn't facing him.

"What about the guys?" I turned around just to find Christian heading over to me.

"What guys?" His brows knitted.

"The ones that you keep ordering around."

His lips made an O which was beyond adorable.

"Don't worry about them. I pay them enough for their meals." He said casually getting a carrot from the counter and tossing it around.

"Stop playing with it." I scolded and he scowled.

"I could have ordered something again, your arm," he paused looking at my arm. "is still hurting isn't it?"

"Oh god, Christian." I put down the bowl I was holding.

"I'm okay now." I pulled his face down and cupped it.

"Stop worrying" I whispered.

"I can't." He mumbled.

I rolled my eyes. "If you care so much why weren't you more careful?" My eyes widened as I realized what I had said.

His eyes fell to the ground and I wished that ground could just swallow me whole.

I knew exactly how guilty he felt for hurting me and still I had to open my fat mouth and blabber.

Way to go April Grey!

He backed away going to the hall and I just kept cursing myself in the head. Thanks to my comment earlier dinner went in silence with me staring at Christian and he not looking back.

Here I was hoping he would open up a bit to me but no I had to make the matter worse.

****

Christian.

"Christian I didn't mean that." Hazel said as soon as she peeked in my room.

"I know." I replied.

I knew. I knew that she didn't mean it but I knew what that meant. Maybe I was wrong all along. Maybe she was safer away from me.

"Can you tell me now?" She had closed the distance between us and it startled me.

"Tell you what?" I straightened up in the bed. She was sitting pretty much in my lap not minding the proximity at all.

"What's bothering you, Chris?" Whenever she said only Chris I felt a tug at my heart. I looked away but she grabbed my chin and made me look at her again.

"I can't see you in pain. What were you saying earlier? Me, being your enemy?" Her face was innocent and her eyes curious.

Innocence is bliss. She was blissful. She didn't know about her father and the shit he did or he didn't. She didn't know about a tiny possibility of her father killing my mother and that was such a bliss. I, on the other hand was dying a little every time I thought of it.

If I told her about it, how would she react? Would she hate me for accusing her father?

"Hazel, what do you think about your father?" Her eyebrows joined in the cutest way possible.

"My father? What he has anything to do with it?" She pried and I had no answer.

"Please. Tell me." I begged. I hoped being unreasonable won't make her run away.

"Well, I don't know how I feel." She shrugged.

"What? You don't know?"

"I don't know how to feel about him as I've never met him." She wrapped her arms around to my right side.

"He left the house when I was just a baby." She had started to rub my arm for some reason.

"Oh," I paused thinking about what she had just said. I was now more confused than ever about her reaction. Should I tell her?

"Shouldn't you sleep now? If you have forgotten let me remind you that we have school tomorrow." I tried to hope this would divert her mind.

"Speaking of school I don't have my stuff here so I don't think I can get ready for tomorrow. We shall skip school tomorrow!" She declared throwing her arm in the air and giggled.

"No, I don't think so missy." I said and her face fell.

"Why not? Just one day! We're not going to miss much." She insisted.

"It's the second semester already and I've missed the school for two months. I don't think they'll let me take the exam if I miss it even more." I retorted.

This was my last chance to graduate. Just this year and one more then I would graduate and complete High school.

"Fine." She pouted and turned around to leave but then stopped.

"Oh no no, don't you think you have escaped your way out of what we were discussing earlier." She put her hands on her waist.

"I'm not done with questioning you yet." She came back to sit beside me again.

"Tell me." She sat down and stoke my cheek lightly with her hand.

"What's bothering you?"

No one would ever care about you this much again Christian.

My mind whispered inside me. It was true. Emily and mother were the only two people who genuinely cared about me and both of them were brutally killed. I failed to protect them.

I won't fail this time.

"It involves your father." I blurted out.

"What?" She was simply surprised at her father's mention. She was not angry.

"Yeah. Do you still want to hear?"

She was perplexed for a moment or two but then her face hardened.

"Yes. I never heard anything about my father from my own family. Maybe from you I'll get a clue of who he was."

I felt guilty because what I was about to tell her would be influencing her opinion of her father badly.

"Hazel," I tugged a strand of hair behind her ear. "Maybe there was a reason for not telling you anything about him."

I took a deep breath. "And I think I know about that".
