My knees drop on the cold tiled floor, feeling so weak. Why do they have to create a story and sue him for a thing that he never did? He didn't kidnap me because I accompanied him willingly! And he didn't rape me because I initiated it!
If ever they will file a case, Blake would surely be sent into jail. Something happened between us when we got drunk but it was not a rape. They could make a test and would confirm that I was devirginized. That would be harder and painful on my part.
"D-Dad… M-Mom… Y-you're so u-unfair," I stuttered between my cry.
Mom attended me on the ground, wiping my tears out.
"I did my best to make you proud of me! I did everything for you. Suffered for long years! I don't deserve this," I chide.
Mom held my arms, supporting me to stand up. "Darling, you deserve to be in good hands and that would be in Isaac's companion
Maybe I was so tired from releasing so much energy on crying today to the point of making my entire system feeling so weak and heavy. If Celestine didn't wake me up, surely I was still lying in bed.I scrunch my body, staring at the knee-length sleeveless floral dress on my bed. It was stunning with its pink big flowers and black stems which fits the dominant colour of the dress which is white.If Blake was the one who would see and wait for me downstairs, maybe I was dressed up very early. I heaved a sigh then shook my head to get him off to my mind. I must not think of him from now on.Forced by the mind, I grabbed the dress and went to my walk-in closet to change my clothes. I smiled when I saw how it suits me. Imagine, a beautifully made dress worn by a damsel in distress. Lovely– and note the sarcasm.I turned around, witnessing how fascinating it is,
Since they agreed on my point, the engagement party would be at the end of the month. I tried to change the Grandes good impression of me but the more I talk, the more they appreciate me. I thought it was rude for them to interrupt and join a private conversation, surprisingly, it amused them more and more. Shame on my part."You impressed me so much, Amber. Your Parents are right, you're a good daughter and a perfect lady as well," Mrs. Grade commented, which Mr. Grande agreed with. I made an imaginary facepalm and a tweak on my hair. What am I doing in my life?!"I appreciate your compliment Mr. And Mrs. Grande but I am not a perfect person. No one is," I replied in my most respectful tone. I don't want to sound rude either way. But if the arrival of my words for them is rude, then that'd be fine for me.Besides, I can stand by my words. No one is living perfectly in this world. Everyone
Pause. Rewind. Play. Pause. Preview. Play.I heard it right. Yes, I do. He just confessed to me. My man's best friend admitted his feelings in front of me, seriously."Y-you had a c-crush on m-me, s-seriously?" I stuttered.He fixed and sat himself upright, meeting my gaze. I felt the heat of my body raised to my head making my cheek turn red. I know I look stupid here now. I am confused about him."Who would've not? A gorgeous president of the campus who would put her life in danger just to contribute something. Setting aside her fears just to aid someone asking help from above," he chortled. I shot him sharp stares and a hiss.I sat properly then crossed my arms over my chest, still giving him sharp stares. "Damn you! I hate you for reminding me that!" He chuckled at my expense. I rolled my eyes at him. Boys naturally love teasing and
Hesitant, Thunder nodded at me. I inhaled heavily as I made my steps near the gate. My heart was pounding so fast giving me shivers all over my body. My knees were trembling in fear of what might happen and my hands were as cold as ice. I tried to search for a word to say on him. I constructed some sentences in my mind but I can't choose the proper words to utter."Miss Amber, someone is disturbing here looking for you," One of our security informed."We'll handle this. Don't inform anybody from inside about this, okay? I don't want to bother them," I replied and he nodded.I shook my hand, trying to relax my nerves and senses. As soon as we stepped our foot out, my eyes welcomed Blake who was pinned by Four security guards, preventing him from staying near the house. My chest was squeezed so hard witnessing him like this."Sir, Ferrers have visitors. You can go
"If you don't mind? Can you please leave us for a while? We're not done with our heart to heart talk yet," Thunder asked with a chuckle, still embracing me.There was a bit of silence before Celestine added, "Yeah. I guess we should get in because we interrupted the moment of these couples."I could sense she knew that there's something off happening that's why she'd agree to Thunder's suggestion. That woman is a keen observer and I knew that intonation of hers. It's a long explanation to do later, for sure."Alright, enjoy your night together, Darlings!" Thunder's Mom said then I heard the footsteps slowly losing in my volume.A few moments later, Thunder withdrew himself on me then dragged me back to the garden where we left earlier. He pulled me a seat and offered his handkerchief. I couldn't help myself but to smile when I remembered the first time he handed
"Amber, Isaac's Mom called earlier. She wants you to visit at their place," Marcus informed in the middle of our meal.I took a glance at Celestine who secretly nodded at me. I told her the whole story last night from what my parents have told me, of what happened among Blake and me in the park, until the commotion that Blake created in front of our house. She was surprised like I do as I explained everything to her.She was confused but never questioned me about my decisions and moves, rather, she hugged me very tight and promised to support me anyway anyhow. Well, I can't prevent myself from being so emotional on her companion again."Sure. I can go there later," I answered, biting the hotdog on my fork.As I have noticed, I am eating a lot recently to cope with my mental and emotional stress. In that way, I feel better, though I know I would gain weight. It do
The moment I stepped in my foot on the white tiled floor. Everything came back to me. It was there when I felt that my eardrums were broken because of the loud music that welcomed us. I instantly ran back outside the house while covering my ears because I can't bear the noise. It was like the waves of sound travelled in my body inviting all my internal organs to jump making me feel a bit headache and dizzy.Blake laughed at me so hard that time. I told him that I won't get in and would go back home if he'd push me to get inside the house. So, we ended up staying our ass off in the garden together with some basketball players who were drinking alcohol. It was gross when I saw some party goers puking on the side. It caused me to flip my stomach while watching them over. It was gross and hilarious yet memorable.I smiled bitterly then shook my head to get rid of that sudden reminisce. I am training myself to forget him
Almost three weeks have passed and the set up became harder for me. As I can feel that the party is fast approaching and we soon will get married. Lately this week, I am getting sick while thinking about everything. My body got heavy and I felt dizzy. It's really a strange kind of sickness. If I'm not mistaken, it must be anxiety."Amber, wake up. It's already seven, you still have your classes, Honey." I pulled back my comforter to cover my entire body. It was Mom, bugging me this early."Mom, give me an extra minute, please. I'm still feeling drowsy," I mumbled with a groan. I reached for my pillow in my side then covered it to my ears.My eyelids were as heavy as metals preventing me from opening my sense. Even my own body feels heavy. Everything is heavy. I can't get up. It sucks! Another few minutes came and I heard a knock on my door again."Amber, aren't y
