Love Me Again

chapter twenty six

Arabella POV

I lay down in my bed as I recall what happened yesterday. My God I was having sex with Ashton in my apartment. Just the thought of it makes me blushed. What did I think that I did that? What's gets inside my head at that time? Am I paranoid or something?

I passed out after several times of love making with him. Shit! Did he wear protection? My God why I did not think of it. Shit!

I beep sound halted me from my stupid thought. I lift my phone and I saw a message came from Ashton.

"Babe, I will have few things to do. Do not go outside or do something ok? I know you are sore and tired of what happened. I'll be back after I done! Would like me stop by from a shop to get you something? What do you want to eat?" He asked me.

I ignored it and sigh deeply. I decided to get up and wash my body since I can smell scent of Ashton in me.

I walked to the washroom and I strip my clothes one by one. As I glance in the mirror, I frown when I noticed something in my body, especially in my neck? What's that? I stared at it and eyes went wide as big as the flying saucer.

"What the heck? A hickeys!!! My god I can't even count how many they are. My god that idiot is impossible" I exclaimed while I look into the mirror.

I shake my head and let it be, there is no used complaining anyway since it's already been done. I just need to cover this hickeys when I decide to come out in my house. I proceed to take my bath and feel the warmness of the water in my body.

As I exited the washroom door, I heard my phone ring and answered it.

"Sweetie thank God, you pick up.. please come here in your dad's office now!" My mom said panicked

"Mom if it's about the marriage, I can't! Please talk to dad about it ....." Then I heard a chattered and broken sound and I can even heard a loud voice shouting. I think it's my dad.

"Mom what happened in there? Why did I heard som...!" My mom cut me off and said.

"Come here this instant, Ashton have been beaten by your dad and your brothers" my mom said while she shouted stop to stop them.

I didn't bother to say goodbye to my mom and I hung the phone immediately. What did that idiot do in my dad office? Most especially with my brothers?

My mind have been running wild as I panicky changed into my clothes. I run to my car and drove as fast as I can in my dad office or rather shall I say in our house.

As I entered the house, I heard shouting and shattered broken or bang sound again. I felt chest tight and I am getting nervous as I am getting closer to the my dad's office.

"Dad no!" I shout as I run to rescue Ashton who is now half beaten by my family. I look at him and I saw a lot of cuts and bruises to his body.

"What have you done dad?" I asked my dad angrily

"How dare you defend that brute. Do you think I didn't knew about what he done to you back then? Remember when you cried and asked us to transfer you to other place? Other school? I am not stupid" my dad said angrily as he punch his table.

"We knew everything Arabella do not ever defend that guy to us!" Daniel said to me.

"I am not defending him or deny it. But you can't do this to him for goodness sick! How you beaten him? The three of you? How could you?" I said angrily while I am crying in front of them.

"Babe don't cry, I am ok please it's my fault and I deserve it. I should have gotten this before" Ashton said as he try to get up. But he whimper as he try to move.

"Shout up!! Why did you ever go here in the first place?" I scolded him.

"I just want to make things right and clear to them!" He said

I help him get up and put him in the couch. My mom hand me a first aid kit and I automatically treated Ashton bruises and cuts.

"Get him out of the house now!" My dad hissed.

"Archer I swear I am going to leave the house of you do that!!! How could you say such a thing like that? Look at your daughter she's the one whose hurting here!" My mom said. My dad softened a little when my mom said "leave"word.

"Honey, that guy played and toyed her, how can she trust him again?"

"Get up" as Daniel said while he about to lounge to Ashton.

"No" I said then I put myself in the middle of them. "Touch him again and I will hate you Daniel" I said angrily

"Don't you dare!" Emman said to me and he went closer too.

"What did you see to this guy huh? How could you forgive him just like that?" Daniel hissed to me.

"Do you know why we want you to get marry Xavier? Because of him" as he point to Ashton. " We knew he keep bothering you again so in order for him to be out of the picture we decided to marry to Xavier!" Emman said to me.

I aware I never been feel very angry as what I felt right now. How could they do this to me.

"You don't have the right to do that to me. You may my brothers but I am still older than you. How could you treated me that way! You marry me off? For what? To be away from him? Why can't you mind your own business? This is my life, I am grown enough... What happened in the will remain in the past. It's my choice to choose him not you, nor not to dad or mom. I will choose who I will marry whether you like it or not!" I said to them shouting.

"Oh God! Honey calm down" my mom said as she ran closer to me and embraced me. "Shhhhhhh..... It's ok.. it's ok...you don't have to cry" as she calm me down. She snap around and look into them.

"Be a man the three of you. If you want to fight, fight him one by one not this way. How could beaten him the three of you? I raised you to be better both Daniel and Emman but I am very disappointed!" My mom continue "and you , you sleep in the guest room I don't want to see you near me! I had enough of your stupidity!" My mom burst crying.

I saw how my dad change face into calmer one. Even my brothers did the same. They all can't stand my mom crying. We all do.
