Don’t Cry Baby

Chapter 6

Blue eyes haunt my dreams , sleep doesn't come easy. Every time I close my eyes I see him , I feel

him touch me. Every time I hear a sound outside of my window my heart races and my muscles clench.

I'm living in fear that any day now he's going to come racing back. I haven't seen him since I ended

things, it's been a whole week. I feel like he's taunting me, waiting for me to crack. I can't focus on

anything, not on school not Damien. Damien confuses me most of all. I don't understand what we are.

We haven't kissed since the night Ty hurt him, I'm too scared to get close to him like that. I keep

thinking Ty's hiding out in the bushes somewhere stalking me , waiting for me to put my guard down so

he can strike. Like he's the wolf and I'm his pathetic little prey.

"Miss Walters." The stern voice of my science teacher pulls me out of my thoughts. His thin lips turn

down at the corners, his bushy eyebrows scrunched together. I stare at him blankly having no idea

what was going on in class. I've been sitting here the whole time , mind racing. Thinking about

everything but biology. "We were just talking about the reproductive system , do you have anything to

add to our discussion Miss.Walters." I bite my lip as I attempt to come up with an answer.

"Uh..abstinence is key?" Everyone erupts into laughter , my face grows hot.

"Principals office miss Walters, I won't have that kind of behaviour in my class." I grab my things , step

down from the high bar stools at the table and stalk off out of the classroom with my books held tight

against my chest.

The principals office is rather small. The desk is covered with papers, a computer and a name plate. He

has shelves that stand tall behind the desk covered in certificates and awards. The only thing I'd like

about having this office is the window just beside the bookshelf with a great view. Trees and the back

field, it would be nice to sit there and think between classes. The sound of the door opening and Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

closing brings me back to reality and principal Montgomery comes into full view and sits down behind

his desk. His fat belly causing him to have to move back so that he can fit between his desk and he

chair. He sits down with a huff of breath and gets comfortable. It's silent for a moment as he sorts his

papers , brows furrowed.

"So Miss.Walters, your Bio teacher Mr.Finley says you were being disruptive in his class and not paying

attention."

"That is true but I have a lot going on right now and I didn't mean to be disruptive." Mr.Montgomery

nods keeping hold of his grim expression and bends down to search through his drawers.

"Well I still have to punish you so, detention tomorrow during your free period." I frown , I was

supposed to go for ice cream tomorrow with Damien at that time. I'm sure he'll understand. "Thank you

Miss.Walters you may go back to class now. Library tomorrow during your free period." I nod and stalk

out of his office feeling disappointed. I guess Our first official date will have to wait.

Damien POV

Feeling disappointed I trudge home, I should be with Ashley enjoy a large scoop of cookies and cream

by instead I'm walking home to spend a nice afternoon with my mom. I'm not complaining I love my

mom dearly but I was so looking forward to my first official date with Ashley. I've been waiting so long,

and despite everything with her abusive ex I was finally getting somewhere with her. She's beautiful

and the minute I laid eyes on her I wanted to be a part of her life anyway I could.

I walk up the sidewalk towards my house and something feels off, there's a car in the driveway I don't

recognize. I walk inside the house and hear an unfamiliar male voice talking with my mother in the

kitchen. As I step into the room I notice my mother laughing and Ty sitting across from her. Ty sitting in

my house with my mother.

"What are you doing here."

"Damien hunny you're home , this is.."

"I know who he is, why is he here." I stare at him, my blood feels like it's boiling as I get angrier and

angrier.

"Oh well Ty came over to talk about you actually hunny, he said that you guys are doing a project

together in school and that you guys had plans to work on it today. I look over at a smirking Ty and my

fist clenches at my side. He really knows what he's doing, he knows I can't say anything about Ashley

because she doesn't want anyone knowing and I respect her. This is such bullshit, he can just push

both of us around however he wants.

"Well Damien we better get working on our project."

"How about we work on it another time , I'll walk you out." He nods and gets up but before following me

down the hall he turns to my

Mother.

"It was wonderful to meet you Miss.Edson , you have a lovely home." My mother smiles and gives him

a hug before saying goodbye. I turn and stalk out of the house trying not to slam the door. Once outside

he turns and grins at me.

"It was so easy to flirt my way into your house , your mommy dearest is a very beautiful woman."

"You touch her ever again and I swear to god."

"Swear what, you'll hurt me. Kill me?" He walks forward his face inches from mine, he's so close I feel

his breath against my face. "You've got nothing in me , I'm stronger then you and I think I proved that

the other night. You can't fuck with me little boy." I back up and he grins victoriously. He turns and walks

towards his car getting in and speeding off. I walk into the house ignoring my mothers calls, up the

stairs and to my bedroom. Before I even think my fist is slamming through the wall of my bedroom , the

pain erupts through my hand and up my arm. I clutch my hand against my chests.

"Fuck, this is gonna be hard to hide from Ash."
