There's utter silence as Chase drives us to God knows where. As much as I didn't want to go with him after that whole fiasco, l couldn't bring myself to say no after the way I rejected him. There is something different though. Things are a little bit awkward between us and I can't help but think that it is my fault.While I was busy mourning over the fact that I couldn't be with my family while Chase was falling in love with me and I couldn't even notice ,geez what a type of a friend am l. Turns out I hate everyone to come to contact with and now chase is my latest victim.I didn't want it to be this way though. Had I known that cheese was in love with me then I would've I don't know talk to him about it all nipped it in the back I don't know. All I know is that I can never return chases feelings. I left something behind when I left home, yes I was still young and growing but I know that I truly love I love tequila and.I'm jacked back into reality when I noticed that we had it somewh
Chase drove for hours until he pulled over In a deserted house. If I wasn't scared then now I was totally shitting on my pants. There was something completely wrong about Chase. The way he behaved, The way he talked. This wasn't my best friend.When we entered the house which was duck insight. My heart can began beating frantically. And when he locked the door and looked at me with crazy a haunted eyes I knew something was wrong right that minute. My suspicions were correct. Geez why can't l have a normal life without people trying to kill me everyday and why didn't l listen to Nonna when she told me that Chase was a bad idea."Chase with the house from "I said moving back from him while he was moving towards me."I loved you "he shouted coming closer and closer to me. God I must be cursed I thought to myself. Everyone is always out to get me. But Chase found a completely different person. The old me she would've cried,she would've beg, she would've been scared but new me gives as goo
Poor little weak me was gone. All the trauma and pain that l have been through does not define me rather it has molded me into the person l am today. l have been kicked, burned, beaten and raped but somehow l am still alive and my heart still beats. They destroyed me but l built a new version of myself. Now l can fight even a man twice my size, l can shoot and l destroy anyone who even looks at funny."You will not touch me Chase ,l dare you" l said looking at him dead in the eye. Chase was just like everyone who had hurt me. They all underestimated me and Chase was going to be an example of why they should all run for their lives.l knew it in my fucken bones when he came to fetch me that he was up to something and l bid my time. l let him assume that he was the predator and l the prey but it was the other way around. He was a little taken aback by my statement but then he smiled looking amused. "Aww Rosabella it's cute that you think that l am afraid of you, l know you remember,
Rosabella's PovNo one deserves pain but as for me it's all l've ever been given by my family but what did l do that's so bad to the point that all they've ever done is insult and beat me everyday except the fact that l've done everything to try and impress them ,everything to show them that l am enough , everything to get them to like me but the truth is that l will always be a bastard child to them"Bastard child" now that's their favourite insult in order to show me that they will never love me and l will never be enoughAll l've ever wanted is to be acknowledged as my parents daughter but all they see is a disgraceful bastard child who has brought shame to their family but what could l have possibly done to disgrace my family did l ask to be bornI've always been different from my family especially my strikingly blue ocean eyes which are the biggest reason why my father hates me and part of me doesn't blame him because when me and my father are put togeth
