MY BULLY IS PSYCHO
CHAPTER FIFTY
ISABELLA
Dinner was quiet and boring, I had been stuck in my thoughts and worries. I took a quick doubtful glance at Ace as I escorted him to where his car was parked, wondering if I should let aloud the question that had been nagging at the bottom of my mind.We reached his car, he turned around to face me and I noticed a slight frown pulled on his face.
"Is something wrong Isabel, you've been awfully quiet "He had noticed?
Dragging a deep breath, I feigned a bright and casual expression which was the opposite of what I felt, my insides were a fluttering mess of nerves."It's nothing, you know, with the exams coming around, I'm just a little stressed out." I let out in a huff.
A soft concerned expression went across his face before he cracked a half smile.
"Don't worry, I'm sure you will make it "MY BULLY IS PSYCHOCHAPTER FIFTY ONEISABELLA**The curious stares and whispers were something I would never get used to, each time Ace drove me to school it was always like this.Sometimes they spoke loud enough for me to hear, just like now.' Another week and he is still with her.'' She is by far the longest, who would have ever thought he would settle for someone like her, who knows, she might be giving him something special? 'As much as I tried to ignore their words, it sometimes made me feel as if I was not worthy of being Ace's girlfriend.I bit my bottom lips doubtfully, staring at his profile, his expression didn't make it appear as if he had even heard their words at all.Something special? I doubt anything was outstanding about me unless they were talking about....Mom's words from a few days ago replayed in my head.Our rela
MY BULLY IS PSYCHOCHAPTER FIFTY TWOACE**"Fine, can you let go now? I'm embarrassed to death" She murmured, wiggling against me, her eyes directed at nowhere in particular, perhaps checking if there was any glances in our direction, I doubt there was. Not with the drama her friend was playing out. Not that I give a damn if we were the sole center of their attention, she was my girl and they could all go to hell with whatever they thought. The sweet fragrance of her hair teased my nostrils, she smelled like fresh lemons."Not a chance, I quite like you in this position " I quipped with a smirk , with one hand grabbing an apple from her table, my other hand keeping her in position.Her cheeks flushed a light shade of pink which earned a light chuckle from me, I don't think anyone could ever look so adorable as she did.She looked ready to bolt if I mistakenly let go of the arm wrapped around her , but there was no cha
MY BULLY IS PSYCHOCHAPTER FIFTY THREEISABELLA**He stepped into the kitchen, his gaze hard and unwavering, my heart pummelled hard against my chest with each step he took until he got to where we stood.He didn't cast a glance in his mom's direction at first, that intense gaze had me pinned where I stood.Confusion. Hurt. Anger and betrayal were the emotions I could recognize burning in those orbs."What does it mean? What were the both of you saying ?" He clenched out, his gaze flickering through his mom and then me."When did you come in? " His mom spoke, wearing a shaky smile but his expression didn't ease, if anything it grew even more sour."I'm asking what all of that mean, dad is undergoing surgery in a few days? When did all of these... " He trailed off, the bitter tone radiated heat out of him"Ace...
MY BULLY IS PSYCHOCHAPTER FIFTY FOURACE**Consumed by emotions, their voices and words kept replaying in my head over and again.I didn't try to stop it, It all almost felt surreal, but the searing pain in my heart was anything but.And if I hadn't stumbled upon their discussion, I still would have been left In the dark.If dad's condition was as severe as mom said, then these few days might be the last time I would get to see him alive, and mom had deemed it not important to tell me.Damn it.I clenched my fingers painfully tight, my eyes closed as I exhaled raggedly through clenched teeth.And Isabel? She had known about it, she had spent this whole afternoon, she also hadn't said anything either.A bitter sound escaped my mouth as I recalled mom telling her that she kept her promis
MY BULLY IS PSYCHOCHAPTER FIFTY FIVEISABELLAHis expression was hard as granite, now that he was staring at me, all the words I had planned that I would say to him died in my throat.He began to turn away when I found my voice and at the same time unconsciously tightening my fingers around his arm."Don't go." I whispered.His grey eyes seemed darker and duller than usual, I wondered how tough the night must have been for him even though he would never allow himself to show the slightest weakness, I wondered why he had even bothered with coming to school today."Yes I didn't tell you, that was because I was afraid of you getting hurt, I thought I would wait until the surgery has gone successful before I tell you "A sound strangled out of my throat when he gripped my shoulders so tightly, his granite gaze lowering to mine."And what if he doesn't make it?
MY BULLY IS PSYCHOCHAPTER FIFTY SIXISABELLA."Are you even listening? " I jolted a little at the sound of Olivia's voice as well as her light tap on my shoulders."What? ""Your name has been mentioned, where are you lost? ""What? " I repeated dumbly.We were to go search for mushrooms, note down their types and uses, at least that was what I thought she had said earlier."You, Ace, Jaxon, and um...." Her expression fell slightlyMy gaze widened slightly, I was paired with Ace? My heart rate piqued up, this might allow me to clear up things between us.He had not given me a chance to explain anything this morning, and I had also been too nervous to approach him again after that, but now if we were going to work together..."What's with that expression? " I spoke, regarding her sullen expression.I followed
MY BULLY IS PSYCHOCHAPTER FIFTY SEVENISABELLA**"Let me down! " The yelp left my mouth, my eyes widened in fright at his furious pace.I only got a word out of his gruff voice."No""No? " I repeated, wrapping my arms around his neck when he seemed to increase his pace if anything.After what seemed like forever he finally let go as he dumped me so I landed on my butt on the ground."Ow that hurts !..what are you doing? " I glared up at him as I scrambled to my feet, taking a step backward from him, I began to dust my jeans that were stained with mud and twigs from the slightly wet soil."I should be asking you that, What the hell was that about?!" He glared back, breathing heavily.I crossed both arms, as I stared up at him, he did seem really angry, deciding to play naive, I gave him my best innocent look."I don't k
MY BULLY IS PSYCHOCHAPTER FIFTY EIGHTISABELLA"You still care about him, don't you? " I whispered, there was a flicker in his gaze but he didn't look away."I don't want him to die." He murmured under his breath.I nodded in understanding, clasping his hand tightly in mine."He won't, there's still so many things to settle between the two of you, your dad won't die so easily " I smiled shakily, his gaze was clouded with doubt, I could tell he wanted to believe my words so badly, I wished I could say more to convince him, if not for anything, but to remove the worry and the hint of sadness in his beautiful eyes.We stood in comfortable silence, my gaze scanned around us when I suddenly realized how much time the both of us has spent alone in this place, the others were probably done with their task by now while we have both been here discussing.
