CHAPTER 8 * I PROMISE*
1439 Words
The moment Brandon turned his back on me to look at the departing form of the Abusive Alpha, I used that as an opportunity to escape the room. Seeing as he had all his attention on what was going on outside that window, I ran out of the room slamming the door shut fleeing to my room.
I heard Brandon call for me as I sped down the staircase, using all the courage I had in me to keep my tears at bay. If Anything I didn't want to break down front of him or anyone. I didn't even know the exact reason I fled, but at the moment I was embarrassed and terrified beyond limit.
I tried wrapping my head around what would have happened if Brandon didn't show up when he did, or if he didn't help me with laundry, what if he had left when I told him to, would I have had that boy p***s down my throat? The thought of it made my stomach churn, and I ran into the single bathroom in my room as I crouched down, throwing up all the food I ate today.
I held onto the toilet bowl for support retching as my body shook against it from after shock, emptying everything in me into the toilet until there was nothing to retch out but stomach acid, I slumped down leaning against the bathroom door, wrapping my hands around my shaking body as I wheezed,
''mom''
I called out pathetically
'' I need you, please I need you''
I sobbed, wishing my mom, whom I have never would, run into the room and embrace to tell me everything would be fine, to tell me I would be fine. It was pathetic and hopeless, but I needed her so badly right now, so much that I would do anything to have her lulled me to sleep in her arms.
This was too much for my Twelve-year-old mind to handle, I didn't even know how I stayed and I didn't freak out or break down in tears when I was almost molested and abused. I didn't even know the gravity of what was about to happen; it didn't hit me then what was going on.
I thought I could close my eyes and make it all go away or maybe I was just having a bad dream, but the realization soon came crashing down on me when Brandon walked out of the bathroom and the what ifs kept repeating itself in my mind, the humiliation too much for me to handle.
Brandon, seeing me in such a position, knelt before An Alpha with his p***s few meters away from my mouth. My body shuddered from the flashback, and I couldn't help the sob that escaped my mouth again as I wept.
I buried my head in between my knee as I wept, mumbling and calling out for my mom like the pathetic orphan i failed to see myself as, I had build up a perfect wall of defense around me all this while and it took a seventeen-year-old Alpha to have that wall crumbling like this and for once I hated the day they conceive and gave birth to me.
I heaved and wheezed pathetically until Suddenly I felt a warm hand pulling me into a solid body, i opened my eyes fear raking through my body as I tried to fight my way out of the person's hold, my eyes widens as I'm met with the sight of Brandon who smiled at me apologetically as he pulled me into him, wrapping his and hands around me protectively, I buried my face in his chest in shame sobbing soaking his shirt with my tears.
'' shhhhhhh, I'm here okay, I'm here, I'm sorry I didn't come out on time, I'm sorry for leaving you alone in the room like that, I'm so sorry for watching you go through all that and not coming out on time, I'm so sorry''
He apologized repeatedly, hugging me close and secure; I wanted to tell him he had no fault in this, none of this was his fault, he did nothing wrong, I should be the one apologizing for storming out like that without saying Thank you, he did a lot for today and I didn't even appreciate him for any.
I tried raising my head up to at least say thank you. '' I... You... Tha...........''
'' shh, shh, you don't have to say anything for now okay, I know what you want to say, not now take your time okay, when you're calm I'm willing to hear whatever you have to say'' he said cutting my ramble off, why is he even this good to me, I din't understand why he is friends with me of all people, what is so special about me why he had to even come looking for me.
I thought about all this as I finally calmed down from my intense crying and my body shook slightly from crying too much; I raised my head up to look at him and I ducked it immediately from the look in his face I couldn't, I couldn't look him in the eye. What if he thinks of me as a Runt?
'' I know, but you shouldn't feel ashamed of yourself, because I know you didn't ask that for yourself you are a victim of his horny teenage mind, so I will not judge you. I would never.
Brandon said to me with conviction in his voice as he rocked me gently.
'' I'm sorry for running out like that without saying much as Thank you, it all happened so far i didn't know what to think or do, I had not the slightest idea of what was about to happen to me, i just felt like it was a bad dream, I didn't know how to react and when you came, I just couldn't face you, that's why I ran out, i was so.........''
'' don't sweat it, Jared, I understand he embarrassed and confused you and of course shock you when realization hit you, I got worried when you ran out, I thought maybe I did or said something wrong to you''
Brandon explained, and I felt bad for running out on him.
'' no no, you didn't. I'm sorry for making you think that way''
I apologized, and he smiled at me.
'' You shouldn't apologize, okay. I promise I'm never ever leaving you alone ever again, even if I can't be beside you 24/7, I will always check up on you all the time I'm free, I Promise you won't have to go through any of this alone ever again''
he said, and I stared at him with glossy eyes.
'' You Promise?''
I chocked out.
'' Yes Jared, I PROMISE and the moon bears witness, you have me''
Few hours ago I was saying no to being friends with me and now here we making promises. I smiled at him with teary eyes and he smiled back, ruffling my hair, and I grumbled, shaking my head.
'' I am not a puppy, ''
I said, shaking his hands off my hair.
'' But you are a pup, ''
he replied, and I scoffed.
'' so are you, stop acting like an old man''
'' But I'm older than you. That counts. ''
He responded with a smirk. I rolled my eyes at his antics before smiling.
'' So, are we friends now?''
he asked, and I hide a smile.
'' Well, I still have to think about that''
I replied, and he groaned and I smiled internally.
'' Really Jared, can you do without not being sassy for an hour, I can't believe you are bad to your old self, ''
he replied.
'' You can't blame me I was born this way, it's good to be back, and congratulations on winning yourself a friendship card''
I replied, smiling at him as he beamed at me, ruffling my hair again, and I shake my head repeatedly to get his hands off.
if having a friend feels like this, then I don't mind being friends with Brandon.....
