CHAPTER 6

“Dude, let me see her” I heard someone say from outside my door. I groaned and sat up in my bed. I could hear many voices behind my closed door. I stood up and walked to the door. “if you wake her, I’ll kill you” I heard Roman threaten. I opened the door and the conversation ceased. Roman leaned on the door frame with two other guys beside him.

“it was totally, Mr. grumpy here” the brunette said nudging Roman who gave him a death stare.

“good morning princess, sorry theses idiots are here, these are Harry and Elijah” Harry was a brunette with green eyes while Elijah was hazel eyed with tattooed skin. “guys, this is Camila”

“she looks good and I’m sure she’s also good in...” Harry started to say but he was cut off by Roman digging his eyebrow into his stomach. Harry fell to the ground with a dramatic groan and Elijah rolled his eyes. I chuckled.

“remember school today” Roman said as they headed down the stairs. I shut my room door and went for a shower, I picked out one of the hoodies I stole from my brother over a jean skirt and black vans. I took my bag and phone before heading down the stairs to the kitchen.

Pancakes, scrambled eggs and bacon lined the table. Harry was stuffing his face with food while Elijah stared at him disgusted and Roman had an amused look. I took a seat and put one pancake, a spoonful of scrambled eggs and one bacon on my plate.

“is that all?” Roman asked staring at the small amount of food, that I took. I shrugged. “I don’t eat much” he muttered under his breathe before adding more food to my plate.

“eat it all” he ordered. I groaned and shoveled the food down my throat. Once I was done with my breakfast we headed to Roman’s Aston Martin since he was driving me to school.

We got to school in a few minutes because somebody was driving above the speed limit yet we managed not to get caught.

“stay safe and call me if you need anything” I nodded and headed out of the car. I met Olivia at my locker waiting for me with a huge smile on her face.

“guess who got an A on her test, me” she held up the white crisp paper for me to see. It had a bright red A written on it. She’d been studying long for this test.

“congratulations” I grabbed my books and shut my locker before we headed for our first lecture. The class was half full when we walked in. we walked to the middle row since Olivia believed it was the best place to see the lecturer from. More students flocked into the class and my heart skipped when I saw him. Dressed in his normal attire of black ripped jeans and black leather jacket was David O’Connor, my ex. We were the school’s perfect couple through high school and even at the beginning of college until he wanted more than I could give him.

Olivia nudged me and shifted her head towards where he sat. I closed my eyes willing myself not to cry as the memories came back. I just wanted to call Roman to come and pick me up. Suddenly, he turned and met my gaze. I almost had a panic attack. He waved and blew me a kiss. Even after we broke up, he was still clingy.

“Camila, calm down don’t let him get to you okay, he’s way over there, concentrate on the lecture” I nodded at her words and faced the teacher.

7 hours later

I stood in front of my locker waiting for Olivia who had to use the bathroom to come back. The hallway was relatively empty because most students had either gone to their apartments or went for sports. I heard footsteps and soon I was pushed against a locker.

“hey princess” I grimaced as he called me that. That was what Roman called me this morning.

“David stop” I warned trying to push him off but he had me pinned to the locker. He had my hands in a tight grip with one hand while he used the other hand to trail his fingers down my face. Disgusting. “I missed you Camila, we were so good together” I used my thread to knock him on his forehead. He groaned. “bitch”

He placed his hand at my throat and started to choke me. I gasped for breath while he laughed in triumph. Olivia came from nowhere and kicked him from behind where the son doesn’t shine. He fell to the floor with a groan. I fell into Olivia’s hand and she steadied me while we walked to the entrance of the school. She took my phone and spoke to someone quickly.

“someone is on the way to pick you up, just hang on” a black jeep came into the compound and I walked to it putting a fake smile on my face so the driver will think nothing is wrong. I slipped into the back seat and he took off.

I knew I was falling back into the pit that I had taken time to draw myself out of.
