Chapter 74
They considered me one of their own and welcomed me with so much love that I couldn’t let anything bad happen to them. If I was right in my calculations, I will hate myself if Cassandra managed to do something bad to them. I will have to get to the root of her thoughts and what led her into believing that she could harm the guys.
It was high time that I step out of the cocoon I had woven around me as a protective shield. It couldn’t stop people from bullying me and my father from beating me as much as I had used it to retain myself within it. I was under the pretense that if I stayed away from other people, they would leave me alone but I was proven wrong all these years.
They continued to crush me under their feet and stripped me of my self-worth. Layer by layer until there was nothing left of my true self. I became someone I could no longer recognize.
If I was to step out of my misery, I would start with unraveling Cassandra’s intention towards the guys to

Silence enveloped the entire cafeteria.Without thinking, I wounded my arms around my belly when I felt eyes on me. What should I say? Should I say that I feel sick? My left ribs?

2 hours later I got out of the shower and wrapped myself in a towel after putting on some undergarments before walking out, in my bedroom. I glanced at myself in the mirror and smiled when I remembered dinner time. “That wasn’t what I was expecting… to see.” I thought. “What were you expecting then?” His smirk widened amusingly. Did I just say that out loud? I thought. “Yeah” Ryder nodded with a grin. I felt my cheeks reddening in embarrassment. He snickered while his eyes trailed over my face. I immediately cupped my cheeks and glanced straight ahead. “You looked angry.” I told him, referring back to his behavior. “I was because… um… actually… no…” He stuttered and awkwardly ran his fingers through his hair while avoiding my eyes. Recognition dawned on me when I realized something. The way he ran away from Cassandra when she begged him to check if the spider was still on her, seeme

Lea’s point of view:I gasped when the door boomed against the wall and then everything literally froze in motion. I felt as if I couldn’t hear anything. I could only hear the pounding against my chest... thump thump thump...My heart beating frantically and making me heaved out deep breaths which would sometimes make me feel like I’m breathless. And then, all of a sudden, I heard everything.It was almost like I had gone deaf for a while before I got my sense of hearing back. I just kept my eyes tightly shut and waited... waited for everything to be over.It almost felt like I’m being drowned by someone and I did nothing to escape from the hands pushing me underwater. I simply waited in the darkness that comes from under my eyelids, breathlessly in pain and waiting to be rescued which I highly doubt to be possible right now.But still, I had hope... something which I had forgotten about long ago but still w

Ryder’s point of view:Tom struggled to get up when he saw me rushing downstairs.He managed to get up on his feet when I reached him.He was barely holding himself upright yet, that did not stop him from trying his luck with his comments.I froze when I heard him speak.“I know you’re trying to hide something -” He sneered before curling his lips mockingly. “I mean… someone.” He snickered while his eyes shifted upwards, towards the bedrooms.I fisted my hands by my sides before stepping forward but he shook his head at me. He held his right outstretched palm up to stop me from grabbing onto his collar.He hissed in pain while cupping his chin with his right hand.I narrowed my eyes down on him.“Your dull attitude really disappoints me.” I intervened when he opened his mouth to speak again.“Really, you won’t mind then, right, if

Lea’s point of view:“Are you okay?” he asked, breaking the silence. I nodded but he just emitted a long, deep audible breath in relief before slowly pulling me in a hug.My chin rested on his left shoulder. This was the first time someone’s invading my personal space, hugging me in such a gentle way. The earlier hugs that I shared with him or with the girls were not like this. Those were friendly hugs. This one was not a friendly hug.His gentle touch on my arms as his fingertips grazed my skin in a gentle way. I’ve never been hugged like this before. Since my mom left, I’ve been craving someone’s shoulders to cry on but there was no one. I’ve always been alone.I’ve been hugged as a child by my parents, my friends but everyone turned their backs on me since that day.
