“Ouch! Hey, don’t be too rough, and be gentle!” I whined as Izzy pressed the ice on the back of my head.
“I’ve angered mom in the past, but the worst she did was accidentally pulling two of my teeth when she slapped me hard on the mouth for talking back at her. I would have never guessed mom would slap you with a folder hard enough for you to fall on the bed and bang the back of your head on the floor. This bump feels like your head was intentionally hit on the floor.”
I hissed at the pain and the cold that I felt from my head and the ice.
“Shyne, I know that mom was infuriated with the contents of that folder, but I would have never believed you that she laid a finger on you if I’m not the one doing this. What happened with you and mom inside the room?”
Hey readers! This is the chapter where I start to write shorter chapters than usual. However, I will post more often, so you don't have to worry. Enjoy the story guys!
“Shyne! What are you doing there?!” Earl pulled me out of the fountain as my face got closer to the water. It was a good thing that only the tip of my hair was wet.“Rose! Help me with Shyne!” I saw Rose, Earl’s sister who wore a blush pink dress the same as Izzy, came rushing over.“Shyne?” Rose said as she held me.“Rose, make sure Shyne is alright. I’ll call Alister or Izzy.” I pulled Earl’s hand before he could leave, and the two of them looked at me.“No. Don’t call them. Please. I’m just so distracted by the fountain that I thought I saw something in the water. I didn’t realize I was getting too close. No need to worry.”Rose and Earl looked like they didn’t believe me, so the entire night, Rose and Izzy were with me. Rose told Izzy, and later on, I told her about Alister a
I looked at Brixton as the two of us stood near the cliff. Shock was all over my face, and Brixton just sighed. He pulled me farther from the cliff when he realized that I was not moving an inch out of shock.“Listen, Shyne, I know that it’s a confession that’s not supposed to be said after what happened to you here on the cliff, but…”“Brixton. You can’t love me. You-you shouldn’t love me…” I whispered.Brixton’s face turned sad, and his smile was gone. It was replaced by a frown, and his eyes showed the sadness inside. We were silent for a few seconds, but he held my right hand, and he gave me a half smile that was forced.“Shyne, I know that your situation with Rian and your family is complicated, but I also know that you feel something for me. I see it in our eyes and the way we fit together perfectly.”“Brixton, I can’t…I can’t do thi
"Oh my God! What in blazes are you doing inside of my car?!" I hit my head on the window beside the driver's seat as I looked in shock at Alister.My brother laughed, and Izzy popped out from behind us while laughing her head off. I tried to calm myself down as I looked at the two of them back and forth."Are you two done laughing? Seriously! What if you guys made me have a heart attack, huh?!" I shoved Alister, and he just chuckled as he fixed his seatbelt, and so did Izzy at the back."Wait a minute, you two. Why are you fixing your seatbelts?" They looked at each other and stared at me in confusion."Well, Izzy and I don't want to die in case you hit the brake a little too hard. Come one, sis, didn't they teach y
I tried to scream and kick the hand as I fell in the darkness. The hands that were holding my feet and covering my mouth were ice cold. I tried to open my eyes, but all I could see was darkness, and the silence was eerie. My hair was all around my face as I felt like the hands that were dragging me would never stop. The skin on my hands and feet felt like they were burning as I was dragged on what felt like asphalt. I suddenly stopped, and the hands on my face and legs disappeared. I was trembling with fear and confusion as I tried my best to shift to a crawling position. My entire body ached as I got up to a sitting position, and I tried to catch my breath while tears threatened to fall from my eyes. I looked around, and it was still pitch black. I tried to speak, but my voice trembled, and my throat felt like it was burning. I realized it was because of the sulfuric smell that was getting stronger. I coughed as the smell got stronger and stronger. “
I couldn’t speak as he covered my mouth. The monster’s movements were harsh, and his clawed hands were roaming my body with so much force that I was scratched, bleeding, and in pain. I couldn’t think straight because of the pain, but I knew that he was right. I had to control my emotions, for me to be free to move.I tried to stop myself from screaming, and he noticed it, so he thrusted harder, faster, and deeper, and I screamed again in pain while he laughed. I screamed, but I used my scream to calm myself while I was being violated. I needed to be strong and control my emotions fast, before I lost myself in the darkness of pain and fear completely.“Trying to control your emotions, huh?” The monster laughed and grabbed my throat as he lifted me up by my throat. I felt like I was about to faint, but seeing his face for the first time made my skin crawl.The monster had black scales for skin
"Don't look at me like you don't know me, you whore. You're the reason why my cousin Rian isn't with us anymore. You have the guts to go back to this town, but you don't have the guts to kill yourself after what happened to him because of your selfish doing?" I looked at the lady who wore a plain navy blue shirt, sexy shorts that looked like panties, and sneakers. Her taste is awful, but the way she spoke to me showed that her attitude was awful as well. Despite having nice fair skin, her pink and black hair, and her excessive accessories made me want to look the other way. "Excuse me, but I have no interest in picking a fight with someone like you, Anita," I looked at her as she glared at me, " you know nothing about us, and that includes the reason he's gone. So it's better for you to stop embarrassing yourself and leave me alone while you still haven't embarrassed yourself." The woman was Rian's younger cousin, and she was eighteen years old, if I'm no
"Speak, Shyne! Your father is going to be furious when he hears about this!" I opened my mouth to try and speak, but the sound of a car rushing inside the house made me freeze again. It was hot outside, but the sound and sight of my father’s car made me believe I was in the middle of a snow storm because of the cold that I was feeling at the moment. "It's your father…" my mom said in a worried tone. She tried to position herself in a way that she somehow shielded me from my father’s view as the both of us took small steps backwards. I looked at the car that stopped in front of us a few meters away, and without missing a beat, my father got out of the car and his eyes were furious as he held my terrified gaze. He matched towards me, and all I could do was close my eyes
“Are you sure that you want to throw all of this away?” Izzy asked as she helped me clear my mini library in my room where I had more than three hundred books. I looked at the book, and I felt a tingle of hurt in my heart with every book that we took down and put in the huge box. I looked at the sets of books that cost me thousands of dollars, and hundreds of hours just to read all of them. “Yeah, Izzy,” I said as I grabbed the set of Percy Jackson Books by Rick Riordan, and I could almost feel tears form in my eyes, “these books seem like they’re harmless, but I know in myself what they do to me, and I know how much these books affect me spiritually. I need to let go of these books and set myself free from myself and my addiction.” "Fine, but I still think that it's a waste sine you spent more than fifteen years collecting all of these books," she said as she arranged a few more books in
