CHAPTER 6

“Hey, Belle,” I snob him and he turns to Marya. “I want to sit next to her.” He tells her probably expecting her to just vacate.

I still don’t understand why it is taking him this long to understand that I want nothing to do with him.

“She doesn’t want to sit next to you,” Marya reminds him.

“She can speak for herself,” she looks at me torn in between wanting to please her friend or me.

Wait, she is not doing this for me she is doing it for Elsa.

She cocks her right eyebrow at me as if asking for my approval but I just stare at her, she is mature enough to make the right choice, plus I hate people who always want to please everyone. She glances at me one more time before sighing in defeat.

“Fine, I will just seat next to Lucas.”

Told you, he was trying to please us when deep down she wanted to seat next to Lucas.

She vacates and Jake gracefully replaces her. I watch as she walks and sits next to Lucas who doesn’t even spare her a smile.

She is hopelessly in love with a guy who can’t even spare her his time of the day.

“You still have something against me?” Jake starts but I snob him.

“Fine I get it, you don’t want to talk to me,” He sounds hurt. “But it is okay as long as I get to sit next to you,” he smirks at me but I  look away so tempted to glue his lips. Jeez he talks a lot. 

Jake doesn’t try anything stupid throughout the lecture and I thank God.

I am the first person to walk out but Marya catches up with me before I get to the door.

She volunteers to walk me to my next class since Elsa is held up but I turn her down.

I put my headphones on immediately I step out and start walking away. I don’t know where the room is but I have my map with me and I can’t get lost.

I am busy walking and minding my business when a dude from nowhere decides to ruin my already good morning by blocking my way.

I roll my eyes and without saying a word I step aside assuming that he wants to pass but he takes advantage of that to corner me to the wall with his hands on either side of me. For some reasons I don’t push him away, I look up at him and he has this cocky smile on his face that is damn annoying.

“Did you just fall from heaven?” the most cliché question I know, I might be an introvert but I read a lot..

_Try harder bastard._

“I came straight from hell,” I answer him in the most boring voice I can muster.

I am supposed to fight him from me but I am just too bored for that. Just when I thought my day will be better this asshole decided to ruin everything.

I am tempted to kick his ass but I don’t want to keep picking fights with people for nothing.

“I should have thought about it, you look so hot in a dangerously way,” he tries tracing my jaw line but I recoil instantly pushing myself further until I hit the wall, He moves dangerously closer to me and I freak out.

I clasp my hands and my jaw clenches automatically. He will regret this if he doesn’t step away from me, I feel adrenaline spinning through me and I am so ready to fight.

“Step back,” I warn him but he moves closer to me freaking me out the more and before I know it my teeth delve into his skin but he pulls away too late.

He groans painfully cussing at me and the next minute his fist connects with my jaw, I stagger a little before kicking his stomach so hard that he reels back almost hitting a random girl and that gets people’s attention.

“You will pay for this asshole!” He seethes walking towards me and people are shouting for me to step back but I just stand there numbly.

In one swift motion he swings at me but I expertly dodges the punch and his hand connects with the wall. He groans painfully and I gape when I see blood all over and people around me gasp, it takes me a moment to realize that he has sprained is knuckles.

Serves him right.

Some people are inciting him to hit me and others are yelling for us to stop fighting. He clenches his already injured hand to hit me again but someone shoves me away and I land in the hands of a very strong dude, I struggle to yank away from him but he holds me tighter.

“Are you okay, Belle?” that's Jake even before I turn to look at him.

I look up to see Lucas pushing the guy who just hit me away. Lucas is too strong for the dude but the asshole doesn’t want to give up.

“Yes I am fine!” I tell Jake and he sighs in relief. I want to punch someone really hard, probably the asshole that had the guts to hit me but Jake is stronger than I thought.

I am cussing at him and I grin when Lucas punches him for me but, fortunately, they are pulled apart by some dudes.

“Show’s over guys!” My knight in shinning armour orders and just like that people start walking away. His jaw is set and his hands are fisted, his calculating eyes meet mine and he shoots me a deadly glare but I quickly look away. He looks scary than ever, not someone you would want to mess with.

“Take her to the gym!” He orders Jake who pulls me away without asking if I want to go.

I hate it when people make decisions for me, I hate being treated like a two year old.

“I don’t want to go!” I yell at Jake trying to pull away from him and my hands are still clenched.

“You don’t have a choice, Belle, you are still angry and you need to let the anger out.” Yeah he is right. I am still angry and I don't have much of a choice, these two guys save me.

"The room is practically empty, there is nothing to break here." I yell at Jake as he walks me to the only table in the furthest corner and he tosses me a dice.

“That should help you relax.” I eye the dice and I glare at him.

“You got to be kidding me,”

“It will help you relax, Belle, just try…”

“This is bullshit!” I snap at him throwing the dice on the floor with all my energy and i turn back to go but I end up crashing on Lucas on my way out and he blocks my way.

Trapping me?

Before I know it he grips my hand and starts walking inside pulling me along with him.

“Let go of me, Lucas!” I snap at him but he ignores me.

He takes me to a room inside the huge room and tosses me inside.

“You want to punch something really hard? We have a punch bag here!” He shouts at me and I laugh.

A punch bag really? They are underestimating me.

“I want to punch someone not something!” I watch him shrug his jacket off and tossing it on the floor and he suddenly swings at me but I hunker down.

“What is wrong with you, Lucas!” He almost hit me.

“What is wrong with you, Bella!” He swings at me again but I block it.

“My name is not, Bella!” I snap at him and swing back at him, he holds my hand and pushes me effortlessly and I reel back.

“There is no difference. Bella, Belle same thing!”

He snaps at me and I throw a punch at him but he expertly blocks it.

“There is a difference!” Bella was stronger and I am not. She spent her life defending me but I let her down because I am a coward.

Punch.

“There is no difference, to me you are Bella!”

Dodge.

“I am not Bella!”

Kick

“Yes you are Bella!” He snaps kicking me back.

“Bella was my twin sister!” I yap at him and if that clicks in his mind he does a good job of hiding the emotion.

“You are Bella!” he snaps back.

“Bella is dead!” I snap at him and instead of kicking him I start to cry.

After eleven good years, I have finally shed tears. “I killed them, I am a murderer.” I say more to myself as I bitterly take involuntary steps backwards until I hit the wall.

I am aware of Lucas taking calculated step toward me but I am too weak to stop him. This is the first time I am crying in eleven years since I lost mom and Bella.

Strange, right?

I have lived in denial for eleven good years but I have never stopped blaming myself for their death.

“You killed them? Tell me what happened.” He begs me and I shake my head.

How do I start telling Lucas that it was my entire fault?

I look up to see if he is eyeing me accusingly but his face is still the same he is not giving anything away, void from emotions same with his eyes.

I expected a judgy face, a series of apologies or a fake empathy look but I guess he is different from the rest of the people I have talked to before. He is so real.

“I killed my mom and my twin sister,” I tell him and I break down for real this time.

Hey guys, tell me something about this chapter. What do you think of Belle's confession?
