I woke up to a big pain on my right side, so I hopped in the shower and rinsed off all the dry blood. My body couldn't take the pain the knife wounds caused on my rib cage all the way to my chest. Bruises formed on my body. I winced as the pain slowly subsided but new eventually it would ache later. As soon as I stepped into the shower, the warm water released all the tension and pressure in my muscles. Once I was done I got dressed in dark denim jean shorts a black sweat shirt along with my hoodie. Just as I was finished get dressed, I made my way downstairs and sneaked outside so my dad wouldn't hurt me before I go to school.
Making my way outside, I put my hoodie on and made my way to school, reaching there perfectly on time.
"Alex", I heard my name being called by the one and only KC, I turned around just in time as she pulled me into a bear hug. Squeezing the life out of me. I winced at the contact an immediately unhooked myself, holding my ribs. She frowned in confusion," I heard what that douchebag idiot Anthony tried to hit you that jackass". She babbled on but I wasn't listening.
I couldn't stop thinking about Kaden and It kept worrying me. I haven't seen him this whole week. My beatings were getting worse to the point where I went to the hospital for a second not remembering for a second as to who I was.
I didn't mean to hurt his feelings in anyway, did he think I meant to hurt him. 'I hope not'. Its just I'm not use to long contact; never have since my moms accident.
My thoughts were running wild thinking that Kaden's absence is all my fault. It kept eating away at me. During my free period I found Tyler at their table by himself looking deep in thought.
"H....hi...Tyler?" I stuttered asking in more of a question phase.
"oh, hey Alex...wait are you okay..no ones fucking with you are they? he raised his voice sounding very angry.
"That's what...I wanted...to..to talk to Kaden about.....have you....seen him?" I stammered
He looked at me confused until he realized what I asked of him.
"yeah I do...he's been really angry the whole week... but of course for you I will take you to his spot where he thinks and relaxes...I'll take you now!" he got up and dragged me to his car, which I released my hold from, earning a confused look, ignoring all the glares the girls were giving me.
I gave a weak smile," I'm sorry, I cant handle long contact, it gives me anxiety", putting my head down ashamed.
He lifted my chin up," don't worry I completely understand", he smiled and we hopped in. He pulled out his phone and dialed someone asking where they was; but I blanked out not paying attention to their conversation.
----------------- --------------------------- -------------------
"Alex..' a finger snapped in front of my face causing me to break out of the trance I was in.
"sorry.. was thinking" I whispered.
He pulled up to what looked to be a park surrounded by beautiful trees. It was a breathtaking site to see.
I scrunched up my nose," are you sure...we are...in the ...right place?"
Tyler smirked and pulled me along with him.
We walked through some bushes and their in the middle of the clearing on a picnic table was Kaden. The sunlight shined beams on Kaden's face as he had his eyes closed facing the sky.
I took in a sharp breath at how handsome he was and so peaceful he looked.
I guess he knew someone was starring, cause his eyes opened slowly and looked shocked to see me here which was replaced with an evil glare.
"What are you doing here?" he spat out saying 'you' like it was poisoned.
I flinched at his tone. He must hate me then for running away from him.
Tyler glared at Kaden," dude, calm the fuck down, she's here, because she came to me looking for you. So stop acting like a fucking jerk and be kind to her alright. She don't need you picking on her as well!"
Kaden's fist clenched by his side as he stood up, walking towards us like we were his prey.
"stay the hell out of this Tyler. You don't know shit"
" I don't give two fucks' he said," what the hell you gonna do hit me?"
Within a flash, Kaden's fist connected with Tyler's jaw.
I gasped and fell to the ground. I heard Tyler groan and fall to the ground, the dead leaves crunching under his body weight.
I didn't want Tyler to get hurt just because he brought me to him.
"Stop! please Kaden...I asked him to bring me to you...please....please....that's Tyler!" I screamed, feeling desperate for Kaden to listen to me.
This wasn't the sincere boy I met in the hallway. This was not the Kaden I was starting to like.
I grabbed his arm," Kaden please, stop it, don't hurt him", I cried.
Kaden tried shaking me off but I wasn't gonna let him go, so that he could continue to hurt him.
"Let go....now Alex!" he yelled.
I shook my head, so fast. Suddenly I was pushed off of him and landed on the ground, which by now I had black dots invading my vision.
"you need to get ahold of your god damn self Kaden. We're suppose to try and help her not hurt her like the rest of them do. I'm gonna leave to get this blood cleaned off. Don't dare ever, ever, harm her again. Do you fucking hear me?"
Kaden's eyes flashed to me with pain and nodded. He made his way over to me slowly and took a couple of deep breaths.
"Alex....why are you here?" his low husky voice said making me flinch and wince holding the bruise and cuts on my rib cage.
"Now why the fuck are you holding your side for?' Kaden snapped and pulled up my shirt revealing all my old and new scars and bruise. He let out a shaky yet angry breathe, stood up and punched a nearby tree.
I flinched at his outrage. Does he hate me?
Shakily I said," I cant.....tell you....that..i was worried about you.. don't hate me", I stopped myself from saying something ill regret.
Kaden tensed," what do you mean? I don't hate you Alex, tell me so that I can help you please, Alex, tell me", he pleaded.
'You can't help me.. he....he will.. he!" I shut my mouth and crawled back until my back hit a tree.
He put his hands on my shoulder and I got a good look at him, his eyes had bags under them. I hesitantly touched his face," he will.. hurt you if I tell you....I don't want you hurt Kaden".
"tell me NOW!"
I shook my head. I was scared big time. He grabbed the wooden bench and slammed it hard against the tree, breaking it.
"I cant Kaden... he'll.... please understand!'
Kaden growled and punched another tree, causing him to hiss in pain as the bark cut through his skin on his knuckle.
I hugged him and held on tight as much as I could," Please Kaden" I whispered. I felt his arms wrap around me. I sighed and sniffled clinging onto him as much as it felt so right, I couldn't handle the long contact. I loosened myself from his hold seeing him frown, but went away once I took hold of his hand in my shaky ones gently.
I smiled weakly at him an got a wipe from my bag and tapped it lightly until all the blood was gone from his knuckle.
I could feel his gaze on me. I took a glance at Kaden, to see that our eyes locked. His bright blue eyes pierced my light silver ones.
There was no tension between us and I loved it. I inhaled and exhaled. His cologne was intoxicating, and I loved it.
Kaden cleared his throat, breaking contact first.
"So.. um.... my hand?" he said nervously.
I smiled and I mean actually smiled at him and it was comforting me the thought that I could make Kaden nervous.
I got a bandage wrap that I always stock up on to take with me for my ribs and wrapped it around his hand since it was a deep cut.
"I hope it doesn't scar...I prey it doesn't scar..." I whispered and shyly looked away, feeling my cheeks heat up from him making me feel something.
I dropped his hand and took a step back. Kaden frowned," yeah forgot, you don't want me to touch you", he snapped.
I wrapped my arms around myself," I'm sorry, close contact is too much for me since...." but I froze not able to say it.
Kaden didn't say a word, he probably doesn't like me, he hates me.
"I'm sorry Alex".
My head snapped up looking into his eyes. But I looked around to see if he was saying it to someone else, other than me.
Kaden chuckled," I'm talking to you Alex', I smiled but frowned," why are you sorry?"
He smiled and murmured," I guess I'm just wanting to know you so bad, and kind of forgot you mentioning you don't like long an lose contact".
I stammered," its o-okay, please don't w-worry".
Kaden had this faraway look on his face which went back to showing no emotions. He walked away but not before telling me," I will find get you to trust me Alex. That's a promise" and left without another word.
I stood there for a couple hours admiring the park, enjoying the humming birds.
