The Bad Boy

~3~

I sat down and relaxed my bruised and battered body, i rubbed my face and let out a long sigh as my phone chimed. as i opened my phone i shot up, 

"shit" 

'Honey, i am having a charity ball next month and i hope you have someone to bring or we will choose a suitable partner for you, love mum' i rubbed my temple as the last time they found someone suitable, they didn't speak English and groped my ass most of the night.

"what?"

"my mother wants me to attend her stupid charity ball she holds and says i have to bring someone along or they will set me up" i said "the last guy didn't speak any English and groped me most of the night"

"what?" he said in a stern tone

"wait. do you wanna go?" i asked "i can make you look super cool, my mum is a fashion designer" i asked hopping he would say yes as he was 100x better than a guy my mother would chose.

"when?" 

"2 weeks" i said and he nodded

"i dont see why not" he said and i thanked him 

As the movie dragged on i felt my body ache more and more so i tried to relax and relaxed too much as i fell asleep in the chair. i shot awake and saw that Jason fell asleep too, i slowly got up as i forgot the beating i suffered yesterday. i got to the bathroom and jumped into the shower trying to look a little better but i knew it wasn't going to work too well. i put on some music on and sang away in the shower letting out small dance moves so i wouldn't fall over. as i walked out of the shower i looked in the mirror and gasped a little at my reflection with a large bruise on my jaw and one around my eye. the rest were pretty shit but i mean i could deal with the ones on my stomach and stuff, i could hide them but my face ones not so much.

i put on some clothes and dried my hair and walked out to see if Jason was still on the couch and i threw a pillow at him. 

"oi" i yelled "get up" 

he shot awake making me chuckle, he sat up and tried to wake himself up from my sudden pillow to the face. he looked at the time and groaned then his face met mine which probably looked worse than yesterday. He stormed over and i took a small step backwards and my back hit the door. He came close and i looked at my feet but he moved my face so that it was looking right at his. 

"im gonna kill them" his voice getting deeper in anger

"i.. i am fine" i stuttered "i can cover this and i dont think it'll get worse"

"if they do it again i will kill em" he said and i nodded getting a little flustered at his sudden actions 

I covered the bruises best i could with makeup and we both started walking to school as i didn't really want ride the bike to school. the walk was silent and as we got to the gate everyone's eyes were on us making me freeze. I saw Kylie and she stomped over in her 7 inch heels, making her presence known to everyone. she was fuming and i could tell that by the smoke that was about to come out of her ears. 

"can i speak to you in private ?" she asked faking her toothy smile as there was an aggressive looking badboy to my side

"no she is busy" Jason said his deep voice giving me goosebumps

i glanced over at the Blonde in front of me and she composed herself and crosser her arms in a 'threatening' way. i fought the urge to chuckle and she stomped off, i knew it would bite my but in the future though. I walked to my locker and realised that he was still following me, i spun around and gasped at how close he was to me. 

"w-wwhat are you still doing?" i asked trying to sound less startled than i really was 

"waiting for you" he said leaning down closer making my cheeks flush 

The bell went snapping me from my thoughts and quickly walked to my first class trying to get rid of my rosy cheeks. i sat down and already felt done with the day, i didn't want to do chemistry or math. i groaned and rested my head onto the table, Jason sitting beside me. the teacher walked in and stopped at her desk. then i heard his voice, a voice i never wanted to hear again ever in my life. 

"good morning students we have a student returning to our class, his family went over seas for a year and now they are back so be welcoming" My AP Calculus teacher said 

"Hey its me Ryan Harding" he said waving to a few familiar faces until he met mine and sent an evil smile 

Ryan Harding was my ex, he was the worst thing that has ever happened to my in my life ever. He made me feel like dying was better than anything else in this world. i have scars and traumas from this man and now he was back probably worse than ever ready to beat me black and blue. i felt my chest rise and fall as my breathing became erratic, i looked down at the table then at my hands in my lap as they started to shake. 

I was trying hard to contain my breathing but it wasn't working and in desperation i looked over at Jason who was worried and pulled me out of the classroom to help control my breathing. i collapsed outside by the football pitch and gripped onto my chest. 

"Lia?" he said his deep voice captivating me a little but nothing could help the pure terror i was feeling 

"i-i-im so-sorry" i said between my hyperventilated breaths

"dont be" he said and i calmed a little as we sat outside "just focus on breathing"

when i finally calmed down i glanced over at Jason who was pulling a cigarette out from his pocket making me frown. i plucked it from his lips and he groaned in an ever so sexy way. 

"give it back" he said and i shook my head 

"no, its bad for you and stinks" i said and he let out a deep chuckle 

"wanna ditch?" he asked and i nodded happily hopping he would ask 

"what do you want to do?" i asked facing him
