“I should stop? Nat, when will you stop being so afraid of him? I know what he’s doing to you but why won’t you talk”. He yells at me. “That asshole of a stepbrother is just using your fear against you by doing those horrible things”.

“Reece just stop”. Tears stream down my eyes as he reminds me of Alan does.

He cups my cheeks. “Nat, just tell me if he’s the one and I f×¢king swear, he’s dead already because I will kill him”.

I sob uncontrollably not able to hold it any longer. Reece pause for a moment before pulling me into a hug.

I cried into his arms as he held me tight close to him.

“Nat, its okay”. He whispered patting me.

I sniffed still holding on to him close not wanting to let go.

“Nat”. He car×ssed my hair.

I pull away from him cleaning my tears.

“He did all that to you, didn’t he?”. He asked again.

I went to sit on the floor as i hugged myself tight not saying anything to Reece.

He came close to me. “Nat, i can help you”.

“You can’t interfere, Reece. He’s going to hurt you”. I blurted out.

He scoffed. “Really? Nat, thats what that mother f×¢ker has been using against you all this while”.

I sniffed again, the tears in my eyes. “I don’t want you to get hurt because of me”.

“No one is going to hurt me, Nat. Look at me, I’m perfectly fine now”.

“He’s a monster without no feelings, He’s very dangerous, Reece”. I warn him.

He sat on the floor next to me resting his body on the wall. He pulled me close to him resting on his chest.

“Nat”.

“I’m telling you all this because of what he have done to me”. I sob.

“How long has it been going on?”. He asks me softly.

I sniff in his arms. “A year and a half”.

“He’s been doing all those things to you for that long and you never even for once spoke up”. He said in a half yell-whisper.

“Even if I wanted to tell someone all this past years, who am I going to tell?”.

“I don’t know”. He shrugged. “His parents”.

“And you actually think that they will believe me? Even if they do believe me, i bet you they will always choose Alan’s side because he’s their biological child not me”. I told him tearfully.

“That doesn’t mean you should wallow in pain all by yourself, doing that can cause you depression”. He replied.

“I just didn’t know what to do”. I whispered. “I was so damn scared of him”.

He stroked my hair as I leaned closer into his arms hugging him partly.

“How come no one ever notices the bruises and marks you have?”. He spoke up.

“I always cover it up”. I told him. “I use a concealer but most times i just wear baggy shirts to hide it”.

Reece didn’t say anything instead he just closed his eyes resting on the wall as he muttered incomprehensible words.

I looked at his hands which were clenched into a ball of fist.

“Nat. I don’t think you should stay there anymore”. He continue.

“I can’t go back to that orhan__”. I stop myself from completing the sentence.

“I know you are adopted, Nat”. He says surprising me.

“You know? Did Harley tell you or .. “.

“I eavesdropped that other day when you were talking to them in Astrid’s room”.

“Oh”. I mouthed.

“So, did you have any adopted families before the Williams?”.

“Yeah but they were worse. None of them showed me care or love but the Williams did. Its still a surprise to me how Alan became their son”.

“So you don’t mind if I kill Alan, do you?”.

I look at him. “Please tell me you are joking”.

“I will kill him Nat, he took advantage of you all this while. What do you expect me to do?”.

“But killing him is too extreme”. I blurted out.

“Yeah you are right. I should probably cut off his d×¢k”.

I sat up immediately. “Reece!!”.

“Come on, Nat. That guy doesn’t deserve your pity and besides he needs it as a warning to stop all his taking advantage of girls”.

“How come you figured everything out? I mean, Jeremy and Bella are both my best friends but they don’t even know what the hell I’m passing through”.

His jaw tightened. “Lets just say, Alan and I have unpleasant history together”.

“Reece, why won’t you just tell what is happening? How come you and Lionel seem to know Alan that much?”. I ask getting curious.

“He crossed Lionel’s path and I got kinda involved in the mess”. He told me.

“I still don’t get it”.

“Like I said before, Nat. Its Harley’s story not mine”.

“You say its Harley’s story but somehow Lionel is involved, why?”.

“Well they were in a relationsh¡p before but Harley was the one who screwed things up with him”.

“Oh”.

“I really do not want to talk about it, it was such a mess”.

I adjusted and stayed close to him. “Reece, thank you”.

“For what?”. He car×ssed my hair.

“For everything, for trying to watch out for me even though I didn’t want you around and clearly pushed you away”.

He chuckles quietly. “You seem to forget one thing, Nat and that is I will always be there for you”.

“Yeah, maybe you are like my superman”.

“And you are my barbie”. He mumbled.

I look at him. “Did you just call me that?”.

“What?! No, i was just thinking about something about barbies and princesses”.

“So thats why Astrid was referring me as a barbie, isn’t that it?”. I probed him.

He sighed. “Okay fine, you got me. That is the reason”.

“But I don’t get it, what is the meaning?”.

“She kind of thinks I’m ken and you are barbie which means we are boyfriend and girlfriend”. He explained in one bit.

I blush to the thought of Reece and I being in a relationsh¡p.

“Is that a tomato I see creeping up your face?”. Reece teases me.

I blush even h-rder. “Stop it”.

He smiled closing his eyes again. “Nat?”.

“Yeah?”. I turn to him.

“Why did you do that?”.

“Do what?”. I ask him confused.

“You stayed away from me this past weeks but why?”.

“I just, I didn’t want Alan hurt you”.

“So you will rather risk getting hurt by him so I wouldn’t be hurt?”.

“Yeah”. I muttered.

“He’s an asshole, a big one and trust me, that stupid d×¢k that he used on you will be gone”. Reece cusses.

“Promise me you won’t do something stupid”. I tell him hopeful.

“I care about you Nat a lot”. He responds.

I sighed as I lay in his arms thinking, only if Dad hadn’t left me back at the orphanage then I wouldn’t be in this f×¢ked up damn situation right now.

But come to think of it now, why don’t I remember anyone apart from my Dad? Why don’t I have any childhood memories apart from my Dad leaving me? I really don’t know whats going on.

“Nat?”.

“Hmmm”.

“Don’t you think we should get back to class or you wanna stay with me for a little while?”. He asks.

“I don’t think I’m ready for class with all these emotional imbalance I’m in right now maybe I’ll bunk for today”. I reply him.

“First bunking of class, you are right. I am actually a bad influence on you”. He joked.

I sit up to face him. “About that, Reece. I’m so sorry, i know you are sensitive when it comes to grades and I should never have used that on you”.

“You seem to forget one thing, Nat”. He says with a grin.

I raised an eyebrow. “And that is?”.

“I can never get angry at you”. He placed a light k×ss on my nose.

I smile genuinely and hugged him tight.

“Are you still going back to that house?”.

“Its the only place I can go”. I said sadly pulling away from the hug.

“Come live with me, i have no objections on that”. He suggested.

“Alan’s still at college, he hasn’t come back in a week so there’s nothing to be scared of besides my parents are home”.

He squeezed my palm softly. “I just don’t want you to get hurt, thats all”.

😎Reece😎
Its been hours since we were dismissed from school and Nat has gone home since.

I only came to pick Astrid from Middle school since Harley has something to do.

“So she told you all that at once?”. Lionel asked as we made our way to the parking lot.

I nodded. “Yeah pretty sure”.

“Wow, it took a lot of time for Harley to indulge her secret with me”.

I wanted to say something but was interrupted by Astrid.

“Reece, take me home”. Astrid whined.

I ruffled her hair. “I’m coming, kiddo”.

“So what should we do about this Alan’s case, beat him up or ..”. Lionel trailed off.

“He’s still at college for now but anytime he tries to get close to Nat. We’ll kill him”.

“So you are trying to tell me that your little girlfriend went back to that house?”.

“His parents are home so he wouldn’t try to do anything to her”.

“You sure because Alan seems pretty tricky, you know how that dude got me”.

I patted him. “Don’t worry, Lionel. I’m all good, thanks”.

“Why can’t my sister pick me up?”. Astrid whined again.

I gr0×ned. “She’s busy with school work”.

“Kids are annoying”. Lionel commented.

“So where are you and Harley having the date?”.

“Its not a date”. He retorted. “We just want to sort things out”.

“Reece!!”. Astrid shouts.

I turn to her. “What now?”.

I see she’s already at my red sports car and pointing at something. A paper was placed on it.

I went there hurriedly and grabbed the paper. It was empty, only just an inscription saying ‘Stay Away’.

Lionel looked at it horrified. “Its Alan”.

I crumpled the paper into a ball and throw it away in a nearby bin. “What is that about?”.

“That was the same thing he sent to me while I was with Harley”. Lionel added.

“What happened?”.

“It was also the same night I got beaten up and thrown in a dumpster”.

I sigh. “Alan can’t get to me and he knows that”.

“Reece maybe you should think this one over”.

“No way, I’m making sure I get Nat away from that asshole”.

Lionel wanted to say something but was interrupted by his phone ringing.

“Its Harley, gotta go”. He waved his phone.

I winked at him. “Use condoms”.

He gave me the middle finger and ran off.

“Reece, can we go now?”. Astrid asks.

I rolled my eyes unlocking the car for her to get in. After a while, we are in the car and I drove off.

“Reece”. Astrid calls at the backseat.

“What now?”.

“I want chocolate cream pie, please stop at Nana’s way”. She pleaded.

I sighed. “Fine but then no more talking again”.

“Okay”. She agreed.

I made to stop the car pressing my foot on the brake pedal bit it wouldn’t stop. What the heck? Did someone mess with it?

My phone was ringing abd I grabbed it on the dashboard.

📞Who the f×¢k is this?

📞I told you to stay away, didn’t I? Have fun in the afterlife

The call disconnected. That was Alan.

This can’t be happening. Astrid is in the car. f×¢k!!

I applied more pressure on the brakes but the car didn’t stop, it just continued moving faster.
