Chapter 5

Coral

"At least try" Ryder says,he's trying to get me to talk but I don't want to "I can't" "please,for me" "why do you even care if I talk or not?" "because your my friend and I want to-why are you questioning me?" "why are you harassing me?", he chuckles "touché.....but seriously, just say I" "no" "please?", I groan loudly,which I've never done in my life,"did you just-you seriously just groaned and you can't say a one letter word?!", I glare at Benny and she shuts up looking away "yeah,she's getting there" Alec says and I roll my eyes "your so lazy" Ryder says "like your momma" I sass and he looks at me before rushing at me,I jump up and move from my spot "not so tough now are you?" Kyle asks and I throw a shoe at him "dude!" Mike shouts,it was his shoe, they all laugh and I stick my tongue out at Ryder,who chuckles and sits in my seat,we were all in a classroom alone,just hanging out,for no reason,I stood in front of him and put my hands on my hips "up" I motion but he just smiles,I open my mouth to say something but closed it "you really want to say something to me don't you" Ryder smirks holding my hands then pulling me to sit on his lap, he's just my friend, I don't like him like that and he's probably got a girlfriend anyway,"look at you two,I can just take a pic-wait I can take one"Nikki says taking her phone from her bag,Ryder tugged my hair and I covered his face with my hands,I didn't think having friends would've been so fun.

The bullying decreased a lot, seeing I'm friends with the whole football team,except Shaun, who hates my guts even more now. "So your still a mute?" some dude asks and I back away from him,I was coming from class,"don't you remember me Baby?,Sebastian Rosewood?",my eyes widened and I backed away completely,I thought he left in tenth grade,besides Shaun, Sebastian was more of a torturer,it was horrible, but he's back which means my death wish is almost done,oh yeah,yay me,my life rocks.

"Where yah going Baby?" Sebastian asks grabbing my arm "you've got no friends but yet you hang around people who hate you,your life must rock", you have no freaking idea,he pushed me on a wall "remember that day in the janitors closet Baby?" Sebastian asked playing with my hair,I closed my eyes tightly as the memories flashed in my mind.

****

Sebastian grabbed my hair and forced me to look at him "I'm gonna be your first Baby,and I'll make it extra special" he whispers kissing my neck,I tried to push away from him but he was too strong,"you see people like you Baby,you don't belong among us",your so right, "so I'll make you say my name as your first word", my heart sped up as he touched my breasts under my shirt, I tried to push him again but still no use.

Lastly,I kicked him where the sun never shines, I opened the door to run but got pulled back,I received so many punches and kicks that I lost count all in one.

****

But all I got that day was a beating,after I got home looking like that,Father got him moved, he promised to finish what he started. "So you do don't you?,what'd you say about that?" he asks digging his fingers in my side, I winced when I realized it wasn't his fingers,it was a knife, what did I ever do to these people,my lips parted and the name came out loudly. "Ryder?!".

Ryder was shocked when he heard me call his name, even I was shocked that I called his name so loudly,Alec walked around and stopped when he saw Sebastian,I held my side before falling into Ryder's arms.

I woke up and looked around,where am I, this is definitely not my room nor the hospital, I saw the greyish walls and the pictures of Ryder and his family or friends,why am I in Ryder's room again?,I moved but the pain in my side stopped me,I looked at my side,it was wrapped with bandage cloth,that's when everything came back and my mouth fell, I said my first word!!!, and it was not what I expected it to be. The door opened and Ryder walked in with pizza and sodas,he placed them down on the table before turning to look at me "so you said your first word?" Ryder asks grinning "I guess" "stop guessing" I can't talk yet,I think you know that,"why?" "its not fun to guess,but I want to stop guessing something"......"why did Rosewood do that?" "I'm not comfortable talking about it", he nods sitting next to me, he unwraps the cloth, I then realized that I was only in my sports bra,I'd be embarrassed but if you've been living life like me,you'd understand, but I did feel a bit weird,he can see my boobs dude!!.

I hissed at the pain "sorry,let me clean it again then you eat something" "no problem", he got the first aid kit and he looked like a real doctor,all serious and focused on what he's doing,"this might hurt" he says showing me the needle and thread,I swallow the lump in my throat and I survived it.

Ryder threw one of his shirts at me "not that your breasts aren't cute and hot as hell, but I don't want my sister walking in here and getting blind", I look at him with a 'dude!' look and he smiles "just put it on and eat" "bossy" "cutey", why is he so sweet,doesn't the most popular guy in school have to be mean?!, "so about you going home?" Ryder says scratching his head "your parents are out of town and I don't want you home alone" "so I'm staying here?" "yeah" "its okay I guess", Ryder groans "stop doing that, your smart enough, stop guessing!", I roll my eyes at his dramatic behavior, he's so childish.
