It's been a whole week now and Trent is still giving me the silent treatment.
He's always in the trophy room these days. I. wonder what he does there. And if not, he works out in the gym in his house or plays video games when Jesse and Marcus come over. I've gotten used to this and it's fine. If this is how he wants us to live, cool.
School is great these days. I got over Danna Fox's death. And guess what, Troy has a girlfriend, Jenna, who looks like a geek with her round glasses and baggy jeans. Her long ebony hair is always tied in a bun on top of her head. She's cute though.
So at the cafeteria the following week, Troy doesn't join us at our table. He's gone to finish his assignment at Jenna's. Rumours on the street have it that Jenna's dad is filthy rich so you can
"What! That can't be! He's Garry Hook."Nate narrows his eyes."Garry Hook died a year ago... He was the owner of Garry Hook Bar & Grill.""Exactly!" I sit beside him. "And that's his grandson."He lets out a small smile. "I'm his grandson... Though I was not interested in taking up his properties. Neither did my family. So I guess Todd took advantage of that..."Okay, this is all so much to digest right now. What? We've been living with an impostor all this time."He's not a good guy, Becca," he tells me. "You should stay as far away from him as possible. He's trouble in the flesh."&nbs
Just when I thought this whole Garry situation couldn't get worse, Nate proves that the creep is worse than we thought.From a few friends and of course, his mother who was a victim of Garry, Nate was able to find out who Garry is. His real name is Tom Taylor. He was first put in jail for child molestation when he was just a teenager. He raped a 3-year old girl and as if it doesn't get even sicker, he sodomized a 5-year old boy. He did all this at sixteen when he lived with his mother in a small town called Springville. But fortunately for him, he was diagnosed with some mental illness so he was able to escape as a juvenile. After high school, he moved to Manchester where he changed his identity to Todd Gamble. And when the police in Manchester started paying close attention to him and got closer to his footsteps, he decided to start afresh in Liverpool, where he became Garry Hook.
The minute I shut the door, Garry immediately pounces on Trent. Fear starts to creep in. What if Garry kills Trent? He is a cold killer. Killing Trent wouldn't be hard for him.Ugh! Why did Trent have to come back?"Please let him go!" I plead.But I know that he won't.Trent tries to fight himself off from his grip but Garry smacks his head and takes out a pocket knife. Just when I thought it couldn't get worse! Trent always gets into trouble because of me. He was right. I should stay away from him because I'm nothing but trouble.Garry is holding the knife over his neck and he's enjoying this. Torturing Trent in front of me. He enjoys seeing me this
Trent is sleeping so peacefully when I wake up.I told him the whole Garry story last night as we lay in bed. The moment felt so surreal. Laying there. Pouring out all my problems to this extremely handsome player. And what amused me is that Trent understood why I had to hide the truth from my aunt. So we ended up sleeping very late. Thank God the class today is at midday so I have time to prepare myself for school.I shamble to the kitchen where I make two cups of coffee and a few pancakes. Trent suddenly enters the kitchen and hugs me lightly."Are you okay?" He asks while taking a cup of coffee.I nod. "I'm better now that you're here..."Trent smiles. "
What!Mr. & Mrs Sterling was my best couple. They just seemed so in love. So obsessed. So crazy about each other. Bruna often said she hopes Josh and her end up like her parents. Because to her, their marriage was perfect. Nothing could keep them apart... Now, this...This is surely going to break Bruna."How... How did it happen?" Bruna's voice is shaky as she rests on the sofa."He started acting weird some months ago. And when I asked, he brushed it off like it was nothing," her mom sniffs. "Then yesterday, he woke up and told me he doesn't want this anymore...""He's the one who broke up with you?" Bruna asks bitterly.
I'm shocked and caught off guard.Jenna is blaming me for their break-up. First of all, she's accusing the wrong person because the last person I would ever have a thing with is Troy. I'm saying that for the millionth time. Why doesn't anyone get it?Troy looks up at her since I'm a mum and doesn't say a word to her."Stop blaming Becca!"Thank you."Oh ya!" Jenna snaps. "All you ever do is talk about Becca. Becca this. Becca that. Becca! Becca! Becca! It's always her! I'm sure the only reason you ever dated me," her tone is lower and sad. "Is to make her jealous. You used me, Troy! You used me!"T
Two grey seats have been reserved for Bruna and me at the front.The stadium is half packed yet the game has not even started. There's a lot of frenzy and noises from every corner. Trent comes over carrying two cans of yoghurt. He's in a red jersey and red shorts. He's looking damn good but a little bit tense up."Are you guys okay?" He asks, handing both of us yoghurt.We both nod."Let me see the back of your jersey," he grins.We exchange glances with Bruna as we turn. Trent frowns."You're wearing a Firmino jersey? At a game, I invited you to? Unbelievable!"
WARNING!!!This chapter has explicit content. Do not continue reading if that makes you uncomfortable.I'm so scared of turning around to look at him. I know he's mad. And, it's going to be awkward considering it's me that's on the painting."You love breaking rules, huh!" He scoffs.I turn back to look at him. Trent is leaning on the door staring at me. When I stare back, he looks away and bites his lips then looks at me again."You are so beautiful, Becca. So so beautiful," his pupils dilate. "And not just your face, you have a beautiful soul and that's why..."
