CARSON

She really laughed!

I saw her laugh,

I saw those beautiful teeths of hers!

I saw them!

They were so beautiful and well designed!

Her cheeks were so red hearing me tell her that she’s beautiful when she laughs.

I smirked.

“You’re blushing! “I commented after several seconds of silence.

“I didn’t! “She snapped holding her cheeks with her palms.

“You blushed! ”

She kept mute,

She couldn’t speak,

I didn’t pursue her further even if she blushee or not!

We looked on at the empty library and my eyes darted to the window watching the day pour in slowly.

I checked the time,

It was past 06:30 am.

Whoa!

I turned to her side and saw her sleeping again.

Does she sleep this easily?

“Hey”I tapped her head,

“Hey! ”

I tapped her twice this time,

“Riley”I called her name gently and she opened her eyes to look at me,

I smiled.

“Its morning already”I whispered and she sat up rubbing her eyes.

“Really? What’s the time? “She asked and I checked the time once more,

“06:45am”

“Oh my bad! I have classes this morning! “She screamed as she got up from her seat and grabbed her bag,

Her books and then drew at her coat,

“Oh my gosh!

I have to go now! “She said to me in a hurry as she hung her bag loosely on her shoulder with her books in one of her hands,

“Let’s go together “I suggested and she shook her head.

“No, I’m going home straight from here”

She replied and waved at me.

I stood up gathered my things and followed her out of the library.

I followed her up to the parking lot where she parked her car and that’s when she turned to look at me.

“Fine!

I will just drop you off in front of your house,

Agreed?? ”

I nodded and we both went into the car and soon,

She drove off…..

RIELE

I woke up when the early sun rise touched my face,

I closed my curtains .

I yawned and then climbed down from my bed.

I remembered what today is.

A new day and a lovely day for me!

I’m packing out of this house into mine!

I can’t wait to leave this Goddmn house!

A house of torment!

I won’t be so close to my father after today,

I whistled dancing into my bathroom,

Threw down my clothes and went into the bath tub to wash myself,

I rested for about ten minutes smiling at myself before I washed myself clean.

I brushed my teeth afterwards and tied a towel around my body.

I reached out for my hair dryer to dry my wet hair as I came out of the bathroom.

My mom was sitting down on my bed by the time I came in.

I frowned.

She had come again to plead with me not to leave the house.

“Mom I really won’t stay here! “I said to her as if I read what she had in mind to tell me when she opened her mouth to speak.

She heaved standing up and coming towards me,

“You can’t leave alone!

What about me? ”

“I can’t stay with that monster!

Haven’t I tried?

Him trying to lord my life all the time!

Haven’t I tried!?

For twenty one years!

He dictated for me what to do and what not to!

I lost everything I have because of him! ”

“You didn’t lose anything Riele,

At least you have me,

Don’t you? “She touched my arm while I ignored her still drying my hair with the hair dryer.

“Riele… ”

“Mom, no! ”

She sighed,

“So you’re going to leave me alone? “She sobered trying to buy me over with her voice but I wasn’t moved by that.

“Yes! ”

“You’re getting married next summer and you know it! ”

I chuckled.

“Getting married to whom exactly? ”

“Damien of course”

“I rather die than marry that monster who raped me!

I’m done with him!

He’s so lucky!

He’s so so lucky that I haven’t seen him these past few days,

Else I will skin him alive! ”

Jeez!

I made all my emotions towards that guy show on my face.

How much I hated him more!

Gosh!

I clenched my fist,

Raping me wasn’t enough for him,

He had to put his brother’s head into it!

She touched my shoulder taking the dryer from me,

She sat me down on my dressing chair while I faced the mirror with her doing the drying job for me.

“Riele… “She called looking at me from the mirror,

“You’re letting emotions get in your way all the time,

I know you like Carson,

I know,

But… ”

“No buts mom!

He’s nice!

He’s not violent and deceitful like his brother,

He’s so… ”

“But your father won’t approve from him”

“And do I look like I care? ”

I scoffed.

My dad is no way my business!

Silence fell between us until she was done and my hair came out as dry as ever.

She heaved turning me to look at her.

“Your mind is already made up to leave…. “She held my shoulders,

“Yes! “I snapped in a grumpy voice.

I don’t want to be convinced at all into staying.

I don’t want anyone to make me stay.

I want to be free.

Living my life the way I want.

She sighed again.

“Be careful about what you say,

How you behave,

How you act because you know… Everyone is watching you”

“I don’t need to be told mom! “I snapped hissing.

“But…

That marriage with Damien is never going to be canceled! ”

“Whatever! ”

She stood up and left.

I heaved a sigh of relief.

No one is going to make me stay here.

I stood up and went to my wardrobe so I can dress up and leave this place.

Three hours later,

I was in my new house,

Everything was in place and well furnished!

I had only my bags and books to arrange and that didn’t take me long to do before I was done.

I dialed Carson’s number.

?Carson

I called when he picked up the call,

He refused to speak,

CARSON

The class was over for today and I managed to bump into Riley once again,

She was teasing and calling me names when Riele’s call pulled in.

She haven’t called me since that day she got raped and all of a sudden she’s calling me.

I frowned taking up her call.

?Are you there Carson?

“What’s wrong? “Riley asked me,

I hung up putting my phone in my pant pocket.

Why would she suddenly call?

She didn’t call me when I needed her the most but now!

“Are you okay? “She repeated and I nodded my head.

She smirked nudging me on my shoulder.

” Stop that “I spoke grumpily towards her and she frowned.

“You’re not happy”

“I’m fine ”

“Hmm,

My aunt told me that its better to say that you’re not fine than saying you’re fine when you’re not”

“Really? ”

“Yes “she replied nodding her head.

“Come here… Let me show you something “I said grabbing her hand as I led her back into the school hall,

I followed the hall way heading to the music room,

“Where are you taking me to? ”

“We’re almost there”I replied and soon we were inside the room.

“What? “She asked looking around the whole place.

“Just to show you something ”

“Something like what? “She asked touching the rows of guitar and then the piano which she touched still looking around.

I grabbed a hold of one guitar and sat down on a stool,

“Let me show you how far I’ve gone in playing this”

She scoffed.

“I didn’t tell you that I wanted to listen to your silly plays or did you hear me say that I wanted to hear… ”

“Riley… Stop being difficult “I interrupted and she scoffed the more.

“I’m leaving “she walked out while I kept the guitar running after her.

I thought she was joking!

Gosh!

“Hey! Stop! “I ran after her and caught her after she might’ve gone very far away from me,

“What?! ”

“Why did you… ”

“I don’t want to listen to any silly music!

I hate to hear them!

I hate everything concerning music and plays!

I didn’t tell you that I wanted to hear that or did I? ”

She spoke in utmost anger.

Is she that angry with me?

But…

What’s there to get angry with?

Her eyes were on mine as silence reigned between us,

“I’m… ”

“Just leave me alone! “She snapped halting me with her palm raised up in front of me as I attempted coming a bit closer to her.

“I said… ”

“Bye”she turned and walked briskly away from me.

I watched her leave.

What did I do wrong just now?

I wanted to play my guitar for her and that’s all!

I heaved and my phone began to ring once again.

I brought out my phone from my pant pocket and it was RIELE calling….
