Semua Bab MAKAILA: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Christian's POVI stayed with Makaila all night, watching her. I decided I was going to skip school because I couldn't leave her all by herself. Bethany called to ask where I was. I couldn't tell her about Makaila, so I cooked up some excuse and being really dumb, she bought it. I heard a honk outside the house and got up to check who it was. I saw Nigel coming out of his car. I frowned. What the hell was he doing here? Though I told him earlier that Makaila was with me, I told him not to bother coming that I had everything under control. I opened the door and met him half way, preventing him from going in. "What are you doing here?" I asked him, my hands crossed. He looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "You know why I am here. I want to see Makaila." He made to move again but I stopped him. He looked surprised. "Do you mind?" He asked.

Makaila's POVEverything seemed back to normal. For once, I was in charge of my life. Well, partially. I snuck in and out of my house. Since that night I ran out of the house and went to the park, I have had this unusual fear for my father.I couldn't shake the gut feeling that he is was still going to hurt me. Though I tried telling myself not to worry but I couldn't shake the feeling. On a lighter note, Christian and I became quit close friends. I guess it wasn't so bad to let my walls down just a little and allow a few people in.One day his loyalty was tested. I was studying in the biology lab, trying to catch up on the things I missed while away. Suddenly, a cold liquid hit my hair and flowed down to my dress. Gasping, I stood up and turned around to see Bethany with a cup of blueberry smoothie in her hand.She had a wicked smirk on her face. My blood began to boil but I calmed myself down. I knew what she was trying to do and I knew very well I could handle whatever this bitch ha

Makaila's POV"Okay, back up just a sec. You and Christian almost kissed! Like the Christian!" Rita screamed, all excited and I had to wince as my eardrums were getting it. Excited Rita means you are loosing one of your eardrums......if not both. "No, the other Christian who sells burgers at Alisha's." I said, sarcasm laced in my voice and she looked at me all confused.Gosh, Rita! "Yes Rita. Our Christian and yes, we almost kissed" I clarified for her. Bad idea because she went into another fit of screams again. "Jesus, Rita. Keep it down." I whisper-yelled at her and she quickly clasped her hand over he mouth, bursting into a fit of giggles."Sorry, I'm just really excited for you. I mean it's about damn time. I was this close to hooking you up with someone from my drama club." She deadpan and I widened my eyes.

Christian's POV"You are saying he threatened you." Nigel asked for the umpteenth time and I rolled my eyes in utter frustration and anger. "Yes, he threatened me and threatened to do something to Makaila. I just don't know what." I scratched my temple. "He threatened to do something to Makaila and you let her go with him?! Are you this daft, Christian." Nigel asked rhetorically and I groaned. "What was I supposed to do?! Tell her she couldn't tutor the new guy? Even if I did that, what would be my reasons?" I asked him and he sighed. "Maybe you should just tell her what happened between both of you." He suggested and I scoffed. "Then, her notion about me from the beginning would be right. I rather not tell her anything. It's better if she doesn't know." "And risk her hearing from Jackson's side? Christian, use your head!" Nigel snap

Christian's  POVSoon Makaila got back on her feet, tho with a little limping. While Rita was still checking with her parents if Makaila could live with them, I asked her to live with me. She firstly declined because of Bethany. Though I tried to assure Makaila that Bethany wasn't a threat, I felt that she was going to be, especially after the episode of last time. Makaila agreed anyway. To avoid suspicion, Nigel would come every morning to pick her up. Not that it mattered because Bethany has started avoiding me, hanging out with the cheerleaders and the team. Tyler and the guys were also avoiding me. Football season wasn't close by so I didn't have to face them at practice. Let's not forget Jackson. I've been keeping my eyes out for him but he didn't seem to be doing anything bad at the point. That even made it sketchier. I became really protective of Makaila. Nigel as well.
