Arms of the Angel - Chapter 2

Hi Guys,

Chapter 2!

“You ok love?”
“Pardon? oh me. Yeah I’m fine thank you.”
“You sure? You look a bit upset. You’ve been missing classes too. I’m Dominic I’m in your physics class as well as music. You seem different.”
“That’s one way I would use to describe myself. I’ve heard others. I’ve heard worse. Been called worse. Now I want to be alone. PLEASE!”
“Ok, moo-dy! I was only seeing if you were ok, I was worried! I only asked, no need to snap my balls off. God you fricking women!”

He started walking away. What had I said? He was the most popular boy in school. I should of thought myself lucky he even noticed me. God girl, what is really wrong with you? I sniffed loudly and then the tears started. I hold put a dam against them, blocked them from view. After swearing I would never let him see me cry, never let him get to me. But it was too late. Things had been said and done and here I was sat in college crying my eyes out. The most gorgeous guy in college, no in the world, was worried about me and I snapped at him. He didn’t deserve it. No one did.

“I’m sorry. Ok. I am sorry for what I did and what I said. It’s not your fault. I’m just in the middle of a violent breakup and i…..”
“Violent? Is your ex violent, Lisa?”
“How did you know my name?”
“I’ve always known who you are. I watch you wall the time. Your voice knocks me out. You do as well. Tell me, has he hurt you?”
“Just a bit. Each time it got worse and it just got a bit too bad.”

I looked up at him and he saw my face covered in bruises and cuts and the marks on my arm. Now he realised why I had been missing classes and wearing so much make-up on the times that I was there. My life was shit, my entire week had just got worse. It was meant to be me against the world. It must have shown in my face…

“You don’t have to be alone, you know. I’ll help you. I know you’re having trouble with the course and I am willing to help you and in more ways than one. First things first let’s get you sorted. Come on.”

He picked me up and that’s when he saw the thing I wore on my chest for the day. My badge. Big, pink and stupid. Definitely from my parents. He smiled, said ‘Happy Birthday’ and took me to his dorm and said I could use the shower there.

“I don’t think that’s a good idea. I had better get to my own room.”
“When he’s there I don’t think so. He’s leaving soon. I will talk to the official. He’s gone. My mate is looking to move. You wanna move in here? And call me Dom. All my mates do. And you are my mate. ”
“You don’t want me here. I’ll make a mess of the place. You’ll hate me sooner or later.”
“No I won’t. Now just go and have a shower. You’ll feel much better.”
“If you’re sure. Oh and Dom, Thanks.”

Off I went. He was right, I felt a lot better. He showed me to his bedroom and there were some clothes there for me. I got dressed and as I did I saw a picture that made me stop and take a closer look at it. It stood out.
