“Ask me again.
Beg me to help you.
Plead me, Julia Thomas.
If you need my help.
You will have to earn for it.
I mean, Your tears can't move me this time”.
His words still echoed inside my head, as I ran…
I wasn't concerned with the looks I got as the crowd watched me run like a mad woman…
But I couldn't do it anymore.
I couldn't stand to watch him hate me.
Well, ten years ago, I really thought he hated me.
But now, I know the look of hatred from his eyes
And my memories hit back, taking me to the first day I ever met him
♧♧♧♧
(Ten years ago)
"Dear Poppy,
well your name is better than mine.
Everybody makes fun of me, about my pigtails and my braces.
Thank God, I'm having them removed in two days.
And my eighteenth birthday is in three days.
Even though in turning the big eighteen, I still feel like a baby.
The never kissed, sweet virgin girl…
There is this cute guy in computer class, he sits right in front of me.
He tries to flirt with me, but I just shut him down…
I guess, I'm a little awkward with guys.
But Sophie and Pri have boyfriends,
Except me.
So, they often treat me like a baby.
Anyway, I'm going to the Reed's house along with my mom.
She wanted me to help her clean the house.
And I'm already freaking out to see Trevor.
He is always so sweet.
Last time when I saw him at school, he smiled at me and waved a hi.
He is transferring schools next semester, and I am going to pray every single day that he should be in my class.
Oh, he is so beautiful.
He has the darkest green eyes, just like Mr. Reed who always gets me chocolates when I visit the mansion along with my mom.
I think I have a crush on Trevor.
Oh, God?.
I think it's love.
But he is already eighteen ,maybe that's why he hasn't asked me out yet.
Maybe when I turn eighteen, I'll let him know that he can take me out.
Maybe to a movie…
But I'm getting crazy.
Trevor and I used to hang out every day when we were little, but he left out of town for school..
We lost touch.
But I'm sure he likes me too.
He always smiles and makes eyes at me.
You know, hits my head when he crosses the room.
And shares his Christmas cake.
He even sent me a present last year.
So, this means he likes me too, right?
Ever since I started writing here, I have always written about Trevor.
Oh, I have been in love with my whole life.
I can't wait for me to turn eighteen.
Dad as promised me a car, well, a second hand but still.
And I'll drive it to see him…
Let him know that I'm eighteen.
Okay, now got to go see my lover…
Bye”.
Grinning at the last line, I closed my diary.
I had named her poppy, and she knows one thing, that is how much I love Trevor.
I have gone crazy since the day he returned back home and when my mom told that he will be transferring to my school.
Maybe he is doing this to be close to me?
Hearing my mom call out my name, I rushed out.
Dad and Emma had gone out of town, he wanted to pick some supplies.
“I want you to behave, do you hear me, Julia?" My mother warned me.
And I nodded
To excited to sit still
When we pulled in front of Reed's mansion.
My mother asked me to wait inside, as she went to go Greet Mr. David Reed,
The owner of the Reed company.
My eyes wandered as I looked around…
Their house was so huge
Like a palace,
They were no less than royalty in the town..
“Hi”
I gasped as I looked around
And my cheeks went red seeing Trevor, staring at me.
"Looking for someone?”
He asked
And I quickly shook my head
A lie
“Here.
Give me your hand”
He smirked, showing the dimple on his left cheek and his eyes were the most beautiful thing about hi. .
Without hesitation, I held my hand out
And he bought his, placing something inside my palm as he closed my hand like it was a secret
“Shh.
Don't tell anyone”
He hit my head, playfully.
And I smiled
As I saw the candy he had just given me
“I'm going out with my dad.
I'll see you on Sunday?”
He asked.
Making sure
And I nodded
Apparently there was this huge get together on Sunday, at the mansion
And obviously mom would be there…
That means I can tag along.
He waved his goodbye as he left
And I ripped the cover open, as I threw the candy stick inside my mouth
“Julia.
Come with me.
Your mother asked me to assign you some work.
You didn't come here thinking you will be free,
did you?”
I looked at Aunt Tasha
And rolled my eyes.
She took me for another maid in the house, while clearly I wasn't.
Well, my mother was
But I followed her, quietly
If I don't do the work, my mom will never get me here.
That means I can't see Trevor.
So, I followed the instructions like a Dutiful daughter.
She asked me to clean the room, as someone was coming
Well, I paid half attention to what Tasha had to say
I was in love and high
All at once
When Tasha left, I took my sweet time to change the curtains
The drapes, mopping, cleaning, wiping the window glass
And I threw the pillows on the floor as I jumped on the bed…
Excited
“What the f**k?”
I looked up
And I almost swallowed the whole candy, which made me gag
And I coughed, vigorously
I was sure my eyes were almost hitting out of my lid
I literally gagged until tears ran down my eyelashes
And I stared at the blue eyes, which watched me angrily.
“Who the hell are you?”
He cursed, and I noticed his long hair that reached until his neck
It looked wild, smooth, but it suited him
Slight beard…
He was definitely older…
I could say seeing his physique
And I almost died by the candy that got stuck in my throat, before I spit it out…
He rolled his eyes disgusted while I wiped my lips…
“My name is Julia.
And who are you?”
I asked, as I picked the pillows from the floor as placed them back on the bed.
Like a professional
After embarrassing me
“Don't touch my stuff”
He growled, watching me arrange the bed
“Your stuff?”
I scoffed
Irritated by his presence
“Who are you, stranger?”
I asked.
And he didn't like it
He took a step forward, his eyes hating the sight of me.
And I glared at him back
Like we were on some staring competition
My eyes pricked the burn
“Nathaniel…
My boy”
I turned around, as I heard Mrs. Reed voice at the door…
And I ran out
Holy hell
He was Nathaniel Reed
Trevor's elder brother, who was studying abroad.
Holy fuck
