Chapter 20
Sidneyâs POV
Nervously I glanced around as I lifted my throbbing head; the last thing I remembered was Daniel being here with me and oh god.
I buried my face in my hands in frustration, why did I tell him about it all? I shouldâve just waited for when the time was right, which obviously wasnât last night. I threw my head back onto the pillow, in less than an hour I had to go to school and catch up with all the work but my gut instinct told me to stay by Daniel.
A part of me wanted to tell him the whole truth but I didnât solely because he wouldâve gone berserk shit and flipped out.
His possessiveness and anger is out of control, it sometimes reminds me of him. The man who is known on paper as my father but in reality I considered him as a cold hearted murder that I had convinces my mind that I have no father â my father is dead.
Daniel was every girls dream, I realised that way before but I still wasnât assured by his feelings for me. He just wanted to marry me...come to think of it I actually wasnât sure why he wanted to marry me maybe it was just because I reminded him of his family.
He doesnât love you Sid, he is a player, a mafia â they only want one thing.
I had given up on love, it was one emotion that I hadnât unlocked in my heart and crying was one that wasnât going to be locked. Sighing I got out of the warm bed and made my way towards the bathroom, inside I looked at myself in the long mirror.
Pulling off my shirt I twist back to get a better look at my back, the scars still remain. My hands trailed them taking me back to last night when Daniel saw them, the look on his face mustâve been of disgust â no one wanted a used girl.
That was why he left me, I know I shouldnât blame him but deep down I did because after telling him so much I should allow him space to think. I didnât want to think about my past anymore, I have to focus on my studies they are the only thing that are reliable.
The hot water drained away the sorrows of last night; I cleansed myself with Danielâs stuff inhaling my favourite smell that I had gotten use to recently. Wrapping a towel round my body I walked out of the bathroom without a second thought just to see Daniel rushing about the room looking for something.
I decided against speaking and resumed walking towards his closet where I grabbed his shirt slipping it on, his intense gaze burning my skin as I hesitantly dropped my towel tugging on my leggings. It wasnât exactly what youâd expect anyone to wear however it was good enough.
The silence was getting heavier by the second, his gaze getting more powerful and my body fidgeting uncomfortably. Ignoring him, I walked out of the room grazing a hand through my long, damp hair as I sniffed it.
Stupid of me before, I actually didnât realise how big the house was. With only under an hour left till school I had to hurry up and leave before any commotion started.
Finally finding the stairs I rushed down, into the kitchen where I saw Nate and Brandon discussing something serious â the look on their faces told me that for sure. They both stopped talking at the same time turning to stare at me.
âMorning guys,â I replied cheerily, I was anything but happy however I had to keep this happy facade on otherwise trouble may arise, thatâs what always happened. Nate mumbled a morning while Brandon came over giving me a crushing bear hug.
âDude, get your fat off me!â I tried swatting his chest in a joking manner, Nate burst out laughing while Brandon put a look of hurt on his face.
âThis,â he lifted his shirt and pointed, âis some hot abs, girls dig for this stuff Siddy,â I let out a small giggle before pushing him away and grabbing a glass of water.
âWhatever helps you sleep at night Bran,â I smirked, Nate was smirking along with me and I decided to go and sit next to him. We still needed to patch up some things from before, he still blamed himself.
Brandon noticed that I wanted to talk to Nate and jerked his hand towards the door signalling that he was going to leave; I mouthed a thank you as he left. Nate pushed his chair back in attempt to leave, but I grabbed his hand and he looked surprised.
âCan we talk?â I asked, he nodded his head slumping back down in his chair. He never spoke a word in the next minute so I let out a huge sigh before facing towards him and starting my speech, âLook, Nate I donât like not talking to you or how we were before when I first met you,â my mind drifted off when we first shared out lunch in the library.
âI want us to be normal again, I donât blame you for what happened so donât blame yourself because Iâm losing a good friend here,â my face fell into a sad posture and this is when Nateâs features softened a little.
âIâm sorry Sidney,â he murmured pulling me into a hug. Wrapping my arms around him, I rested my head on his shoulder. Â We chatted for the next couple of minutes, turns out that Nate too was going to school today and was giving me a lift.
We agreed to meet outside in the drive way in the next five minutes so I jumped off my chair jogging up the stairs and into Danielâs room. Hesitantly I picked up a brush, brushing my hair making it straight almost instantly â who needed a straightener when you had straight hair anyways always seemed to baffle me.
Ever since making up properly as friends with Nate, my mood had gone sky high. I donât think I was this happy in almost seven years, but it never lasts â does it?
I looked around the room to see that Daniel had kept his promise about bringing my stuff here, well only parts of it. Gladly I found my duffel bag with all my important books in them and slung it around my shoulder. For the second time this morning I went down the stairs, but this time I saw Daniel at the bottom with a furious look on his face.
Not sure what to say I was about to walked out of the front door when he grabbed my upper arm, pulling me back as we came face to face. Memories came back so I forced my eyes shut blocking them away, only opening them to find his face the exact same as before.
âWhere do you think youâre going?â he asked in a low demanding voice it sent shivers down my spine, shaking my hair I grasped out of his grip and said,
âSchool,â I mumbled, he growled and moved even more dangerously closer putting his hands on my waist. I placed a hand on his chest to push him away, to only make him angrier. âStop it,â I stated in a quiet voice.
âYouâre not going to school,â he ordered, I shook my hand and sidestepped him continuing my way out from the door. âDid you not hear me?â he shouted this time, ignoring his comment that shook me to the core I proceeded anyways only to be slammed against the wall with Daniel in front of me. His eyes turned dark, wearing a murderous look I began to shake uncontrollably as much as I like to stay strong, I was breaking.
âYou donât control me,â I sneered, anger taking over me. My whole fucking life Iâve been treated badly, now I wasnât going to sit and take it. âGet the fuck off me,â pushing him backwards with all my force a look of shock overwhelmed his features.
Moving away from him I, for the third time, moved towards the door only to be stopped by his deep laughter. His laugh filled my ears with music causing me to stop abruptly with my hand on the door knob.
âWell then I hope you fucking realise that your so called father is out to get you,â his words stung me but I kept my face straight as I turned towards him but what came next was worst than dagger being thrown at me, âand I hope he fucking succeeds getting a bitch like you.â
My expression seemed to please him, smirking he stormed off into his study slamming his door shut. Whirling around I saw Nate wearing the same expression as me but with an addition of anger on his face, I tugged his jacket and we made a move.
The car journey was silent, and we were both lost in our thoughts that I didnât realise that we had gotten to school until the car had stopped. Nate faced me and squeezed my hand,
âItâs going to be alright,â I weakly nodded before heading out of the class to my class. School wasnât particularly fun but it was one place that made me feel safe. With only a few months left till the finals I had to get my head down and concentrate.
Things like this will always side track me but it was different when someone you had put a little trust in you throws it back in your face. Maybe I should just let my so called father kill me; there wasnât much I was living for anyways.
My thoughts then lingered to my mother; I had to stay alive for her. She deserved justice, I would take my father down one by one until he felt the same pain my mother and I did. I let out an involuntary growl causing everyone in the class to stare at me weirdly, ignoring the stares I kept my head straight and focused on the lesson. An essay on how to kill a mocking bird would be a good chance for me to show this man that I would be able to pass this and get a good grade.
The day had gone fairly quickly, at lunch Nate and I had met up in the library with both of us remaining silent about this morning. Â Nate was going to be a little late today since he had football practice, I decided to walk home myself because this was one chance that gave me to myself, I could finally be alone.
Even the sky had turned a little dark, with the cold breeze brushing against my skin causing all the hair standing up. I was lost in my thoughts about what Daniel had said earlier, maybe he was right but that doesnât mean it gave him a right to said what he had this morning. I was angry, but sad at the same.
He destroyed the little trust I had for him, something deep down I knew that in my childhood there was a little boy. He haunted me in my dreams, he haunted me in broad daylight and sometimes I thought that I saw him but it was me going crazy.
A shadow behind me formed and I collided into a rock hard chest as I turned around. He looked familiar; he was the exact same person from my dreams and the exact same person in my childhood. He resembled the same traits as Levy but I couldnât put a finger on it.
âOh, my dear little girl I am so sorry,â he whispered before I fell limp in his arms and my whole world went blank. The last words I heard before my vision was covered with black was,
âPlease forgive me,â and then my world stopped.
Well at least Daniel got what he wished for.
