DianaNo! No! No! No! No!«Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!»You should already know whose reaction is which. I couldn't breathe properly as the prospect of sitting in the space with Adam for longer than the few minutes he had been in our house bothered me....greatly.Flavia looked like the cat who got the cream. She quickly jumped on the bandwagon of the invite, agreeing with her mother for the second time that day. I didn't want any of it, and it was clear if you took a look at my face. I looked uncomfortable with the idea. I somehow managed to look at the person of interest for everyone in the room and found him doing that weird studying of my face. He didn't need to study it though because the message was pretty clear.I don't want you here. And he heard it loud and clear.He turned his head to my aunt, smiling apologetically as he told her he wouldn't be able to stay for dinner because he was having dinner with his grandmother. I expelled a breath in relief and caught my dog giving me a
DianaAdam and Nancy arrived with me still upstairs, hurriedly drying my hair after having to wash it to get rid of the fish smell no thanks to my food fight with my aunt. When I was done with my clothes, I quickly moved to pack my hair but I couldn't find the hair band I dropped on my table, which struck me as weird. I tried to look for it around the table but my search turned up empty. A growl escaped my lips when my aunt called loudly from below for me to come down. Sighing defeatedly, I let my brown hair fall to its full length, coated my lips with a gloss and walked out in a t-shirt and blue faded jeans.I paused, almost taking the wrong step when I saw they were waiting for me in the narrow corridor that was directly in front of the stairs. I focused my eyes on Nancy and a genuine smile crossed my face. She wrapped her arms around me and pulled me into her. Her familiar scent of cakes and creams enveloped me and I melted into her warm embrace. “I missed you, Kiddo.” She said in
DianaWe sat in silence until the roaring of his bike became a distant sound. Flavia was busy skinning Nancy alive with her eyes for cutting short her time with Adam. My aunt cleared her throat and gave a shaky smile as she tried to revive the mood in the room.“Well, let's continue our discussion.” She said, making contact with me to help her. I tried to speak but Flavia stood up and threw her napkin on the table.“I am no longer hungry, I am going to bed early.” “But you didn't eat much.” aunt peered at her barely touched plate and looked at her.“I have lost my appetite, Lucia. I am tired and I have cheerleading practice tomorrow.” She went to her room without saying good night to any of us.“I'm so sorry I ruined dinner. I was just so excited to talk about his achievements and apart from the girls throwing themselves at him in town, he has virtually no friends here.”Her voice trembled and her eyes were glassy as she spoke. “I didn't think he would react that way.” Nancy sniffed.

DianaThe hot breath of the idiot fanning my face, plus his thick arm pinning me to the wall in the tight space, made me want to pass out. I tried to wiggle free, but he tightened his hold on me and pressed his huge body into mine, hitting my head against the wall. He shifted his hand to allow me to breathe through my nose but kept it hard on my mouth. To avoid losing control and fainting, I calmed myself down and began to breathe in and out.“You must be wondering why you're here.” His tone was very aggressive and intimidating, and so was his sneer. I glanced to the side and saw there were some brooms and mops, but my hand couldn't reach any, still, I tried feeling around for anything I could use as a weapon that wasn't in my line of sight. Was he planning to rape me in broad daylight?“I know you and your aunt never approved of me dating Flavia, that's why I suspect you both are the reason she decided to break up with me.” He pressed harder into my body, running his free hand over m
DianaIt was time for the last class of the day and I was worried when Martin didn't come to join us at our spot at the cafeteria. I don't think he even came into the room at all. Jane had talked about it because she found it strange, and she asked me if all was well. I told her we were alright and that nothing serious happened. Deep down, I knew he was avoiding me but I didn't know why because I was not the one that jumped into the strong arms of Adam, neither did I break his heart and stepped on the pieces.Just like with Vance, it dawned on me that I was dealing with another consequence of Flavia's breakup while she went around living her life like she didn't have a care in the world. Vance, as if to show me he meant business, kept appearing everywhere, bestowing me with different disgruntled looks to cue me in on what I'll be going through if I didn't do as he ordered.Wanting to resolve whatever issue Martin had with me, I waited in front of the class, bouncing on my feet as I wo
DianaI couldn't find Jane after school so I hitched a ride with Martin because I wanted him to drop me off at our town's only car repair shop. My heart felt relieved that I had my friend back even though our separation was only for some hours. Luckily, the awkward situation with our history teacher was easily resolved by us rushing into the class to the snickering of the other students. On our way home, Martin kept talking about this regional math competition his team were planning to enter. He was so excited that I kept begging him to keep his eyes on the road, even though our little town was accident-free because the roads were not busy. My brain knew this fact, but the trauma I was suffering from refused to completely settle whenever I was in a car. It took me two years, after the accident, to enter a car and not flinch or panic, another year to get my car, and one more to be comfortable with the speedometer passing the seventy mark. Yeah, I had a car of my own. It just happened
DianaIf I told you I understand what happened with Adam, I would be lying. As I sat in front of the vanity in my room, staring at my face, I knew I had messed up. Shame filled every cell in my body, causing me to groan as I replayed what happened. Walter was on my bed, his big brown eyes on me probably wondering what I had done now. I heard my aunt car's come into the yard and I checked the butterfly clock on the wall above my bed. It was past nine. I didn't make dinner because we had leftovers from the other night and aunt didn't like wasting food. The sound of the front door getting shut got me moving to go say hello. I came to a halt at top of the stairs when I saw my aunt with her eyes closed and a dreamy smile on her face. She had her lower lip trapped between her teeth. “Aunt Lucia–” she jumped as if caught red-handed stealing, “are you okay?” I walked down the stairs.She bobbed her head repeatedly, giving me a shaky smile. I noticed she avoided my eyes for some seconds befo
