Chapter 12
ELLA'S POV
As I stood in the middle of my bedroom, I stared at the twins in horror. Tristan was still right in front of me. His arm was around my waist and his hand was over my mouth so I wouldn't scream.
Nathan walked closer to me, standing right beside Tristan. Neither of them said anything. They just looked at me, and looked at the injuries on my face since I had washed the makeup off. They could see the extent of the injuries and how much I had been hiding from them.
I could feel my heart beating so fast that it was echoing in my ears, I closed my eyes tightly for a moment before I opened them again, but the guys were still here. It definitely wasn't a nightmare.
I started shaking slightly and I could feel myself getting a little lightheaded.
Nathan reached over and held my hand once he saw that I was shaking. They could tell that I was scared.
Of course I was scared. They just jumped through my window in the middle of the night and covered my mouth so I wouldn't scream. Who the hell wouldn't be scared of that?
What were they even doing here? Why were they jumping through my window in the middle of the night? I didn't understand what was happening right now.
They weren't doing anything to hurt me, at least not yet.
Tristan moved his hand from around my waist and brought it up to my face where he started gently rubbing his fingers over the bruise on my cheek and Nathan was looking at the cut on my head from the beer bottle that Marilyn threw at me.
Tristan leaned forward to kiss the bruise on my cheek and he actually started softly licking it.
Nathan leaned forward and started doing the same to the cut on her head. He started gently licking the cut.
I wanted to resist them, I really did. But I couldn't find the words or sounds. I started to form tears in my eyes again, but this time, I wasn't sure why. My body was just reacting to them. I let out a moan and I felt a weird sensation go through my body and that's when Tristan grabbed me around the waist again.
I didn't know what was happening to me. What was this feeling that made me weak at the knees?
Ava started moaning at the feeling of the twins touching us like this, and I couldn't help but feel aroused as well.
My body involuntarily started to respond to them. No matter how much I was trying to tell it to stop. It wouldn't, but the twins suddenly stopped.
"There you go. They're all better." Tristan whispered. And I reached up to touch my face and there was no pain where my injuries were.
"How did you do that?" I asked, surprised. Still staring at Tristan. He just smirked at me.
"We have magic." He said. And Nathan chuckled lightly.
"Why did you do this?" I asked. And they both looked at each other.
"Because you're special to us." Nathan said.
"More than any other girl we've ever met." Tristan said. Yep. It's definitely a pick up line.
Yeah right. I'm sure that's what playboys say to all the girls that they want to get into bed. I still didn't believe that I was anything special to them.
I felt more tears welling up in my eyes and they started to drop from my eyes. I felt myself being pulled in so many different directions right now. I didn't know why they were messing with me so much. Why were they taking such an interest in me? But it was really starting to confuse the hell out of me and I hated this feeling. I never knew how to act around them.
"Can you please stop doing this? Stop paying special attention to me. I'll be leaving soon." I said.
They both looked at me with hurt on their faces, and for some reason, this time it hurt me to see them like that.noveldrama
I don't know why. I had told them repeatedly to leave me alone. But they never did and I didn't feel bad for telling them to leave me alone. Why did I care how they felt this time? They already knew that I wasn't planning on staying here.
"Is it because of Leia?" Tristan asked.
"No. She hasn't done anything to me. I need to get away from here. From this house." I said, giving them a little more information than I wanted to. I didn't want them to know that my life was so miserable here.
"Do you really believe that Leia hasn't done anything to you?" Nathan asked.
“She hasn't. Not really.” I said. But they looked at each other skeptically. They thought I was lying.
"Wendy told us what she's been doing. So, I'll ask you again. Do you really believe that she's not being mean to you?" He asked.
"She says a few words to me and shit like that. It's nothing." I said. But they both looked at each other again with strange looks on their faces. "I already told you. I just need to get out of here." I said. I always dreaded seeing Leia but I didn't honestly think that she was being that bad. I guess it's because I've seen worse. I've had worse done to me. It's no big deal.
"That's not what we've heard." Nathan said.
"Even her threatening you is wrong." Tristan added.
"It doesn't matter. She just doesn't want to lose you." I said. And Tristan rubbed his hand over his face.
"We were never hers. I was never hers." He insisted.
I had seen boys trying to hook up with girls before and I had heard all the lines in the book. I really didn't feel like this was any different. I was just more appealing to them because I kept rejecting them. No other girl in town would reject them.
It looked like they were going to press the issue some more when my alarm
started going off, telling me that I needed to get up for school.
"You have to go. Marilyn will be home soon." I said.
"Who?" Nathan asked.
"My mother." I said. And they looked at each other again, in a strange way. Like they didn't like what they just heard. I guess they had never heard a child call their parents by their name before. At least not the parent that raised them. But this was definitely a different situation. She doesn't deserve the title of 'mom'.
It took a bit of convincing but I finally got them to leave and I snuck to the
bathroom to have a shower and I got dressed for school.
I looked in the mirror and all of my bruises and the cut on my forehead were gone.
I couldn't believe it. What did they do to me last night?
As soon as I heard the car pull up out the front of the house I went back to my bedroom and I locked the door.
Marilyn came inside and slammed the front door behind her, which must have woken up Jack because I heard them start yelling at each other immediately. Marilyn was pissed that he didn't back her up last night when she was trying to kick me out. And he was trying to calm her down, until she said something hurtful towards him and then he would start yelling back at her.
I knew that I couldn't stay here this morning so I grabbed my stuff and put them in my bag and I walked out of my bedroom.
I could tell that they were in the kitchen so I tried to creep down the stairs but they were really creaky, so I didn't know if they heard me or not. But they were still yelling at each other.
I peered into the room and Marilyn had her back to me so I quickly passed the doorway and I left the house.
I started walking to school and I sent Wendy a text message, telling her not to worry about picking me up. I'd already left the house.
Of course she was asking if everything was alright and I said that it was.
I wasn't going to tell her the truth. That I was avoiding Marilyn in case she tried to
kick me out again.
It took me half an hour to get into town and I walked straight to the school.
I noticed that the weather was already starting to change. It was starting to get colder, but winter wasn't meant to start for a while yet.
I don't know how I was going to handle winter around here. Apparently there are times during winter when the sun only appears on the horizon and that's it. We have no sunlight. But in the height of summer, it stays up for a lot longer than I am used to.
I really hated the cold. And it was only going to get worse from here.
It was still early enough that there weren't too many kids at school, but I knew
they also prepared breakfast at school for any kids that arrived early.
I was walking along the hallway when suddenly Leia stepped out in front of me
and I stopped to stare at her.
"Wow. You finally lost your bodyguard." She said.
"What do you want, Leia?" I asked.
"I want to make you suffer." She said.
And then her friends walked out behind her and they were all glaring at me with menacing smirks on their faces. Whatever offer she wanted to make me, I knew I wasn't going to like. I could feel myself cringe on the inside the second she said it.
I just wanted her and her lackey's to walk away and leave me alone.
If this is about the twins then she could have them. I'm sure she's heard me tell them to leave me alone. So why doesn't anyone believe me?
What do you think?
