“ Grandma? Are you home?” I yelled
“ Grandma?”
“ I’m in here dear.”
I walked into the living room and she was sitting on the couch drinking her tea and doodling in her crossword book
“ Are you here alone?” I asked
“ Yes Raymond went to the store and to talk to your father who is looking for you by the way.” she tells me, raising an eyebrow at me.
“ I know I just can’t be there right now.” I sighed sitting down next to her
“ Is there a reason you can’t talk to your mom about whatever is bothering you?”
“ No, she’ll just agree with dad. It’s like they have the
The sun shines through the cracks of the curtains, pulling the blanket over my head. I grew up at the thought of getting up. I had so much confidence last night that now I have to but now I have to put my actions where my mouth is. Rubbing my eyes I scoot out of bed. I wrapped my hair up into a bun and threw on a t - shirt and sweatpants. Rubbing the crust off my eyes I head down stairs for some coffee. When I get to the kitchen my dad and mom are sitting at the table with my brother, I swear they get up before the sun does, they aren’t normal. Walking over to the counter I grab a coffee mug and pour coffee into it. Adding cream and vanilla, I grab a banana nut muffin off the stove and sit down next to mom. She looks at me with worry in her eyes, they all do. “ So are you all just going to look at me like I’m going to turn into dust in the next few minutes or are you going to tell me what's going on?” I g
Once we arrived everyone greeted me with open arms, some even gave me a hug. The goons were cracking me up. I couldn't stop laughing Hunter and Andrew wouldn’t stop arguing over the last slice of pizza for lunch and honestly made me glad I wasn’t the only one that cared about food. Erik showed me around and showed me where he is setting up the training room my dad told him he needed. I just rolled my eyes as if I’ll even need it. I think he wanted to start me off easy because it took me 2 seconds to knock out the guy I trained with today. Well maybe not exactly 2 seconds but you get what I mean. I had to beg him to let me start training before the room was finished and promised that If I got too angry I would excuse myself and go to my special place before anything bad happened. He did ask if I’d show him my special place and got an attitude when I told him no. After dinner I headed up to the guest room that I made perfectly cl
Briella POV Erik is so annoying I didn’t need a chaperone to follow me to my car but he insisted he needed to make sure I didn’t try to skip, so not only did he follow me to my car, he also followed me in his car to school. “ Brie as much as we love Mr. big bad and handsome coming into your life. What’s with the stalker vibes?” She asks pointing back to his car “ yeah I know he thinks I’m going to ditch or some shit” I sighed rolling my eyes “ Did you say something about ditching?” Ethan asked “ no I’m not that stupid. He just assumed” At the next green light I turn left instead of going straight, and might as well tak
Watching him spar with her makes my stomach turn. Looking over to Oliver his eyes widen and shut really hard. “ Alright, Briella.. I know you are mad just don’t burn me or hurt me to bad” he whimpers With one punch I sent him flying into Andrew “ Briella!” Erik yells “ oh now you want to pay attention to me” I growl “Yeah boss you’ve fucked up” Andrew groans pushing Oliver off him “ Excuse me?” He growls “ yeah ‘boss’ while you’ve had your nose stick up my ‘friends’ ass I beat yet another one of your guards. I’ll say that 3/6 this week already. 3 more
Getting up for school I throw on a brown white and blue sweater and some black leggings with brown boots. Peaking into his office I can tell he’s there working hard on something so instead of bothering him I grab my keys and head to school. Sam and Ethan finally got their license so they don’t need me taking them to school anymore,plus they were way too excited to show off their new cars. Pulling in I pack in the far right of the parking lot away from everyone else. Grabbing my bag out of the backseat I head inside. I’m a little early so class hasn’t started yet, so I've decided to mend things with Aaliyah and invite her over for a sleepover. I feel bad for getting mad at her over something I have no control over. My birthday is in 4 days, sucks I have school on that day too. Walking over to Aaliyah’s locker I wait there for her. Hopefully she doesn’t hate me too much. I don’t understand why I
So what do you think happened? That he followed me? We talked things out and lived happily ever after? Well then you guessed wrong. He did follow me but not to talk. He wanted to lecture me on how I’m supposed to behave and how I’m supposed to respect him in front of his pack members, because his image is more important. So I kept my promise, I beat his men the next day, however he refused to let me fight Andrew until my 18th birthday. In three days, he thinks my whole mindset will change over night on how I feel about him. I only agreed to it as long as I was able to go back home and he could fight me there. He didn’t like it, he said he set up that gym for me to prove myself here, but why would I prove myself in a place that doesn’t trust me. I packed my bags this morning and drove home myself. I didn’t want to sit in the car for hours with him nagging me about how childish I’m being. My dad wasn’t happy about Erik taking someone’s else’s side over
Growling he knocks me to the ground pressing all his weight against my side. I’ll give it to him he’s strength is more than I thought it would be and he uses his body weight to throw me off due to him being a lot bigger than me. I feel his elbow digging into my side as he pins me down. Moving one of my legs to a bend I take the other underneath his right leg hooking into mine. Using my arms I put my right one out to the side pressing up against my elbow the best I can. Grabbing his arm with my left arm I flip him over where I’m on top. His shock on his face gives me the advantage to take over. From the side of my view I see Erik looking at me with a cold, heartless look. He’s watching to make sure I don’t cheat. Looking down at Andrew, I let him go standing up. He shuffles to his feet looking at me confused. “ shift” I tell him “ what? That wasn’t
Sitting out on the balcony I breathe in the cold brisk air of the night. Curling up in the chair with a blanket and a cup of hot chocolate, I look up at the sky. The stars dance with no care in the world. I wish I was a star with no responsibilities. Erik left with Andrew after dinner, he didn’t say a single word to me but I could see the hurt in his eyes, the pain that stains his soul from my actions. Did he really think I was that weak to lose against Andrew? Or did he know I was going to win and hoped I’d still change my mind? I’m not heartless. I'll admit watching him walk away knowing I’ll probably never see him again kind of hurts. But I’d rather live with this pain then feel like a prisoner. The sun will be up soon and I have to face Aaliyah at school, if she's even there. Sam told me she hasn’t been at school and now there's a rumor going around that her parents decided to move back because of her safety fro
