Midnight Scars

Chapter 17: 'Sneaking Out At Midnight'

*Stone hits my bedroom window*

Okay hearing stuff like that at midnight may be pretty scary. But I had the courage to poke my head out.

"Omg Tyler! what are you doing here?" I whispered worriedly.

"Breaking you out of jail. Come down let's get out of here!" He whispered anxiously

"Make sure no one sees you. I'll be down in a minute. Let me get dressed." I called out quietly as I possibly can, fearful of waking my dad.

I hopped into my favorite pair of black jeans and black tank top. Tieing you hair into a pony tale and gargling mouthwash at the same time is not a good idea, but I managed. Quickly spraying a bottle of Victoria Secret perfume all over my body and dusting my face with face powder. I've never had a reason to get dressed so fast in my entire life.

I Silently unlocked my bed room door and did the same to lock it. Creeping down the stairs was so difficult considering the stillness at that hour of the night. I almost fainted when I saw a figure moving in the kitchen. Thank god it's Scarlette!

"Damn. Off with the chick smelling real good and looking like a hot spy. Nailed it!" She teased and complimented.

Imagine how great that made me feel.

"Shh, don't Wana wake dad." I begged.

"Chill girl, I've snuck out over a dozen times back in Canada. Midnight is always the best time to." She winked at me.

"What! And you never got caught!" I exclaimed trying to keep my voice low as possible natural the same time.

"Nope! Give me the chick's number incase Marcus notice you're missing. I'll have you covered." She assured me.

I quickly dialed his number and return her phone.

"Hey! Be careful alright. Don't get pregnant!" She warned.

"Of course not! And thanks. Now please help me get through the back door." I said in gritted teeth.

"No problemò!" She said smiling.

***************************

"Here we are!" Said Tyler with a smile. 
As I unlocked the seat belt he lifted my chin and kissed me.
"What's that for?" I asked in a flirty way.
"I've missed the taste of them." He said smirking.

We held hands and walked towards the first place we hung out 'the hill side', Tyler's favorite chill spot.

I rested my head gently on his chest as he stared at the sky.

"I wish we can be like this all night." He said softly, playing with my hair.

"I wish so too." I said looking up at him. His eyes staring into mine as if he could see straight into my head. He leaned in and massaged my lips with his. His sharp teeth biting at my neck slowly. He took his black shirt off revealing his tempting abs, slowly slipping my top off and reaching into my bra. It didn't take long for the image of the monster on top of me that night to pop into my head. And with that I pushed Tyler off.

"I'm sorry I can't do this!" I said in tears.

"Baby! I'm so sorry. It's hard to maintain control when I'm with you. But I'll try harder. I'm sorry honey, don't cry. I'm sorry." He kept saying, pain in his eyes.

I felt so bad. I wanted Tyler in an intimate way. But before we got a chance to get that far, my reminiscing attack put an end to it.

"Don't be sorry. I want it! But I can't endure it." My voice cracking. "Not with my mind invaded with the image of that monster on top of me" I cried.

With tears falling from his eyes he kissed my forehead and said. "We will get through this together."

********************************

"I better get home now. It's 2 am!" I exclaimed.
"Let's stay Alittle longer please! In the next 30 minuets we'll go" He begged.
"Alright then." I agreed hugging him.

A few minutes after, Tyler's phone rang.

"Hi it's Scarlette. Where the hell are you guys?" She asked hurriedly.

I knew something was wrong.
"You're on speaker" Tyler informed her.

"Marcus just woke and he knows you're not in the house! Don't worry. I have your jogging suit and I'm dressed for jogging too. I bearly managed to slip out the back window and ran. Come pick me up! I'm a few blocs away from home. We'll tell them we were jogging." She explained. She's definitely the master of plans!

"Excellent! Thank you so much!" I exclaimed, feeling slightly fearful.

Tyler drove so fast I was scared he might lose control and flung off the road.

I quickly changed into my jogging suit and left my jeans in Tyler's car.

We jogged for a five minutes heading home, faking our smiles and tiredness.

You wouldn't believe. My dad and step mom was sitting on the porch awaiting us.

"Are my eyes deceiving me?" My step mom exclaimed in joy. Who would expect Scarlett and I to get along and jogging together besides. Well, not officially 'jogging'.

"You two were jogging at 2am?" Questioned my dad, not convinced.

"Yeah. I met Scarlett in the kitchen when I came down for some water and we couldn't get back to bed, was feeling a little upset so she asked me to be her jogging partner. We didn't Wana wake you guys so we crept out." I said convincingly. I'm an excellent liar.

"It's really nice to see the two of you getting along." Said my dad with a smile.

"I know right!" I replied smiling.
