All Chapters of Love & Fate Series: The Thrown Away Girl: Chapter 271 - Chapter 280

I'm stressed out from the drive and being kidnapped and all the blood and my dark thoughts. I can't seem to keep my head above water sometimes and right now, it's getting bad, which is why I had the panic attack. Add to that my asthma acting up and my fear of my father and the cops, and you've got a bowl full of stress stew!I'm also so damn confused right now. I don't know what to make of Kurt's confession. Do I actually believe him? Is he lying to me to make it easier for him to kidnap me? There is something very vulnerable about him tonight and I've never seen him look like this.Kurt has always been so cocky and self-assured, and now he looks lost and alone. Which might be exactly what he's feeling. He just lost his best friend, and Braxton is pinning it all on him. As far as I know Kurt doesn't have any family. His gang was basically his family and now they have turned their backs on him.But the way he is cradling my body to his... I've never felt like this. So protected and che

Braxton's POVDammit! How the hell did he get away? I had him cornered. I know I did! He should not have been able to escape. I was so sure I had him. There is no way he is smart enough to outmaneuver me at my own game.I grit my teeth and throw my glass at the wall, smashing it to smithereens, but it brings me no satisfaction. I look out into the darkness and listening to the wind whipping around. I watch the trees bend to the will of the stronger element. That is me. I am the strongest element! He is just a little minion. Made to bend to my will... Or at least he will be.I really didn't think he would get away when I told him to run, but he took me at my word and he ran. Where the hell did he think he was going anyway? How far could he have actually gotten on foot?I actually had one of my guys follow the bastard and it seems he got into some care with some little chick. Apparently she was a quiet little thing and almost scared to death of the guy. He normally has a way with the fe

Roxie's POVThe sun crept over the horizon, breaking through the thick pines. It's cold and the morning dew isn't helping. At least it smells clean and there is no rain in the forecast... at least not at the second.I cuddle deeper into Kurt's warm embrace. He groans and nuzzles his face into my hair. I never knew this guy could be so good and cuddling. He's always struck me as a jerk who uses girls for his pleasure and tosses them away when he's done.But he does't seem to be done with me yet, which makes me wonder why I'm so special, or is it just because he decided to kidnap me and keep me around, and then he'll dump me just like he does every other girl. But then why bother keeping me warm?"G'morning Baby Girl," he whispers, his voice is raspy with sleep.I pull back to look up at Kurt and I notice the guy has dark circles under his eyes. Didn't he sleep at all? I reach up and before I realize what I'm doing, I run my fingers through his hair, moving it out of his eyes and end up

Kurt smiles, "I know. And I'm glad you finally found someone to be your friend. I'm really happy she stands up for you against me. You need that!" I look at him through the rear view and I can tell he means it. I don't know if I've ever seen this man with a sincere look before."You know this whole situation is really messed up," I chuckle."Yes it is. But I'm gonna fix it. I swear, Roxie. There is no reason for me to keep tormenting you any more. And once I have Brax taken care of and behind bars where he belongs, everything will be perfect," he promises.I don't know about perfect. I still have an abusive father and an apathetic mother I have somehow become in charge of. I will still be beat every time I don't do what I'm asked. But at least he won't be on the run anymore.After an amazingly easy commute, we reached my apartment I share with Maggie. We quickly make it up the stairs to the second floor. When I get to room 227, I insert my key and push the door in.I pull Kurt inside

"I've been trying to figure that out for years, and I've been trying to break away. Mostly I only hung out with Jay, but he was buddies with Ian and Danny. But now, I have nothing holding me back," I explained. I wonder what Ian and Danny think? I saw the looks on their faces last night. They were confused and unsure who to believe... Maybe there is a small chance I can get one of them to believe me?She looks at me for a few minutes before she nods her head as if she'd come to a decision. "If I help you, you have to keep Rox safe!""Of course! I will do everything in my power to keep anything bad from happening to her," I promise. That was a given! There is no way I want to put my girl in harm's way! What kinda psycho does she think I am? Don't answer that!"Okay," she agrees, though rather reluctantly. It looks like she will reserve her judgement for later. "What do you need?""I need to borrow your car," state. Yeah, that might be a little more than a small request. Maggie loves he
