Becoming the bad boy's pet CHAPTER 90: Recruiting Dylan
Starlight restaurant; the overhead sign read and I sighed heavily. If I wasn't so fed up with missing Luka and not being able to do anything about it, I'll go back home at this point. From where I stood looking in, the restaurant looked busy. What if Dylan throws me out or causes a scene? After all, I didn't call ahead, I just showed up at his mother's restaurant where I found out he was interning after stalking him on instagram.It's been one week. Seven whole days of living like this. If I ever needed a confirmation that living without Luka was hard this was it. Being apart without any kind of communication is even harder. I find myself staring at my phone hoping it will ring indicating that he is ready to talk to me now or typing and deleting messages because it doesn't even come close to fixing what I did. I don't even know how he is doing since nobody seems to be talking to me right now. Was he still not talking to anyone?I wanted to go over there but shame wouldn't let me
Becoming the bad boy's pet CHAPTER 91: Running Away
LUKAI could feel everyone giving me worried glances, after all it's been one week since I spoke to anyone about anything so it's understandable.The way my right hand was bandaged wouldn't let me make a fist or hold a spoon properly. I tried raising the silver spoon in my left hand to feed myself some of the creamy brulee soup that was for dinner but I spilled most of it and threw the spoon back into my plate with a loud clang and let out a string of curses. I picked up the bread that was in a woven basket in the center of the table and bit into it leaning back to judge everyone's mood before saying what I had to say. "I passed the GED." My announcement got everyone's full attention as it was the first statement I've said to anyone in more than a week. I could see the relief in Leonardo's face as he exhaled visibly. "So?" My father asked cutting off my mom who looked like she had something to say. "I'm moving away to college. I did apply to some places already, and I've gotten s
Becoming the bad boy's pet CHAPTER 92: The Whole Truth
"Oh. My. God." Tammy screams with her hand going to cover her mouth. I sighed heavily feeling my own eyes fill with tears. This was my exact reaction. At first I was elated when the truth came out, but then I thought about Tammy and things just changed. It must be difficult, hating him all these while. Being able to channel the pain of that night at someone but not the person was faceless and she really didn't know who. I could see the confusion in her eyes, followed by the refusal to accept what Dylan and I were saying. She got up angrily and pulled out her hand from my grasp and started pacing. Her hands went to her ears to pluck her fingertips and block them so she couldn't hear anymore of what we were saying and we let her. "No. No. It was Luka, he did this to me." She repeated over and over while pacing. Except it wasn't Luka. In fact, Dylan and I didn't need do much diggibg, because the moment I told him how long ago it was and what night it was he was sure it wasn't Luka. L
Becoming the bad boy's pet CHAPTER 93: LUka's Gone
I took the bus back, needing the walk to the station to clear my head. My phone was tucked away in my pocket in silence so I was not aware that it had been ringing till I stepped inside the house only to find my mother already home. "Mom," I called softly, finding her hunched over the breakfast bar, with the smoke detector alarm whirring loudly. I looked around to find Annie only to find her slumped and leaning beside the kitchen door with her inhaler in hand. Annie-Marie was asthmatic, she must have had an attack or something while I was gone. I went to her and squatted in front of her as she tried to take in shallow breaths, while my mom opened the windows and was trying to clear off the mess Annie made. My mom turned around and dug her fingers into the pocket of her scrubs, "where were you?" She wasn't dreaming, the cold deadliness in her voice was enough to let me know the severity of this. "I…I..I just stepped out for a minute. What are you doing back home so early?" No way
Becoming the bad boy's pet CHAPTER 94: Living with Luka
"Where were you Isabella?" She asked again and I sighed before closing the door and throwing the key into a bowl beside the door where we usually dropped the keys and other miscellaneous items. "At Dylan's." I answered honestly and pulled off my vans. "And who is that?" Scowling at me. "My friend." I answered slowly and stood at the bottom of the stairs. "What was so important that you had to sneak out for?" I couldn't tell her the full answer, so I shuffled on my feet, shifting my weight from one to another. She got up with a loud hiss, "it's like I don't recognize you anymore nowadays. The need to defy me, the secret meetings, the lack of attention. Is this all tied to your relationship or what?" I kept quiet not knowing how to explain all that was going on or where to begin. "This isn't over, Isabella. We will finish this discussion in this morning. Also, I disconnected the Wifi and took your laptop and you're grounded till you're thirty." With that she got up and went back u
Becoming the bad boy's pet CHAPTER 95: Tough choices
The atmosphere in the house the last two was strained. My mom was acting like I didn't just tell her that I want to go off and live with a boy by ignoring me. While my sister was tiptoeing around the both of us scared to blow everything up. I know what my mom was trying to do. She was deliberately not making an issue out of it and giving me time to see the futility in what I wanted to do. Not this time though. Ignoring what I said isn't just going to make it go away or make me reconsider. It wasn't a fresh thought that I haven't thought over. School here basically ends up with me being bullied nowadays. Maya and her clique had decided to make my life even more miserable than it already is day by day now that Luka was no longer here. I find myself randomly wanting to tell him about something that happened during the day or wanting to just smell him or feel his skin on my fingers. So, no. This is not a phase I'm going to grow out of. It's something I've made up my mind about. A
Becoming the bad boy's pet CHAPTER 96: Nowhere else to go
The clouds looked like fuzzy, clumped up pieces of cotton wool from my position at the window. "Good afternoon everyone, this is your captain speaking. The American Airline flight to California will be landed in about seventy minutes. Do enjoy the rest of your flight." The deep baritone voice called out over the speakers and I couldn't help but feel my stomach knot in anxiety. Seventy minutes more till I land in the same city as Luka. This was all I wanted all month long, all I planned for the last one week. Taking this step was proving harder than I thought it would be. Saying goodbye to my mom, Annie, Tammy and Dylan this morning and I almost burst into tears at how much I'm going to miss them. "You've got this, Isabella." I whispered underneath my breath and blew air through my mouth to try to calm myself. I opened my wallet and dug out the description Paula gave me written on a piece of paper and checked to be sure the card my mom pressed into my hands earlier this morning wa
Becoming the bad boy's pet CHAPTER 97: One Night Only
LUKAI've never had any issue finding home in a new place without family or friends. I ran away from home and lived on my own for two years spending months at a place before moving on till I fell in love. Finding my footing in university has been hard. The thing with going on to college is that it exposes your inadequacies. I've come to learn that i'm not as smart or gifted as I think I am. I've passed through everything barely putting in maximum effort till I got to college. Now I have to put in effort to an extent at least, I have to study, do assignments, presentations and all of that. I'm also not interested in making friends right now, though somehow people always surround me. After class today, I went straight to see a lawyer regarding Leonardo. I meant what I said about having him live with me. I'm all settled in now and and I can start working on it. It's not going be so easy though. Apparently, it might take me suing my parents and I'll have to prove it in court that they
