Chapter 16: Mom

"Okay okay okay, I'm sorry."

He didn't listen or pay any attention to me as he took me up the stairs.

I made no effort to pull my arms out of his iron grip. First, it was going to be a painful process and second, it didn't look like he was going to let go of me till we reached wherever he was taking me to.

"You're gonna lock me up in your room?"

He pulled open his room door and dropped me on his bed before walking out and slamming the door shut.

At least, he wasn't pissed.

Yet.

I spent minutes in the room, starring at nothing in particular. I couldn't run,I couldn't leave,I couldn't sleep.

I knew he wasn't going to keep me hostage forever. He was going to let me go some day if not tomorrow but the real question is, why does he care?

Just two weeks ago, we were two totally different people living two totally different lives.

A popular rich kid and a hot girl no one paid attention to.

Come on, you have to be with me on that one.

The point is there was no form of attachment whatsoever.

He didn't understand me or why I wanted to get home as soon as I could. He thought he'd be able to save me and give me a normal night just once but what he didn't see was that he was also putting me in a complete mess in the process.

Mom would notice I spent a night somewhere else and you know what's gonna happen after.

Punishment, as she likes to call it.

You know what, fuck this.

I heard the doorknob twist before Dylan made his way into the room.

I didn't notice he had food with him till he played two bags of food in front of me and took a seat on the floor right next to me.

"Here's the food. I got on my way to pick you up"

So he had this planned before he picked me up? Dylan's a fucking psycho an_

Wait a minute, the new restaurant is Chinese? Sweet.

"I know you don't wanna talk to me but you have to understand I did all of this for you"

"I didn't ask you to, Dylan."

"But I did it and that's the point."

"Please let me go"

"I'm sorry I can't do that. Take a look at yourself cupcake, you're injured."

"That's not your business"

"You have bruises everywhere"

"That's not your business"

"You're physically and mentally abused"

"That's not yo_hey! What does that mean?!"

"I'm sorry but that's the truth, you have trust issues. If not, you would've had at least a friend"

"I do have friends!"

"First, I was talking about before I met you and also, when you mean friends do you mean the weird creepy badass girl and the nerdy one that has a crush on Ryan"

If I had something in my mouth, I could've spat it out immediately.

They knew about Nat's crush on Ryan.

I had to take seconds to think about it. Was that the reason why Ryan always teased her?

It better not be cause if it is, I'm_

"Ryan doesn't know about it"

"Oh. How do you know about it?"

"It's pretty obvious. You know what else is obvious?"

"The fact you're in love with me"

"Sorry, I don't do ugly guys"

"Okay. I'm gonna let that slide but I'm more handsome than any guy you've ever seen in your entire life and you know that. You're just to egotistical to say it"

"Whatever Dylan. I demand to leave here now!"




.~*~.~*~.~*~.

"I'm never gonna leave here again!" I yelled as Dylan ran past the rooms on the upper floor.

He carried me on his back and ran round the house in circles.

He wasn't joking when he said he could run so fast.

There was no way I could run that much on my own. Not to talk of the fact he was carrying me in the process.

"Oh really? What happened to I demand to leave here now?!"

"It died!"

He ran past the kitchen, through the library where I teased him about being dumb even with the fact he had so many books in his library, through empty rooms, bedrooms I never knew existed and some bathrooms.

After roaming the whole floor, he was heading towards the stairs.

He was going to run down the stairs with me on his back.

Yeah, no.

"That's enough my humble servant"

"I thought you'd never say that my queen" He said and dropped me on my feet.

His breaths were fast and harsh, he has sweat wetting his face and he looked pretty tired.

Yeah, that's enough punishment.

"I must say, your strength and agility is quite impressive my servant"

"I'm glad I could impress you my queen"

He sat down on the floor with his back resting on the wall behind him. I wasn't as tired as he was but I sat down beside him.

"Now, get me food"

"What?"

"Food" I repeated "Get me food"

"You just ate before we started whatever that was"

"Well, I'm the queen here and I do whatever I want so do as I say and get me food!"

"I made you the queen and now I dethrone you so go get your food by yourself"

"Umm rude"

"Wow, you have such an appetite"

"Who knows? It's probably because I'm human"

"Oh please, I've met other girls and they don't eat as much as you do. In fact, they're always all watchful cause they have a thing with being skinny"

"Well, I don't have a thing with being skinny so get me food"

"You're so different_"

"Wait" I cut him off "Do you mean I'm unique and different and beautiful and hot and_"

"No, I mean different. Different in the awkward way"

"You know what? I think you're right. I should be mindful of my weight and avoid calories cause I'm so like every other girl"

We burst out laughing.

That is the most unbelievable thing in the world. It was like black being the new white or broccoli taking pizza's place in my heart.

So impossible.

I didn't give a spoon about the amount of calories I had in my system or the amount I ate. It's j_

"Dylan! I'm home"

"Coming mom!"

"Mom?"
