My Mate Wants Me?

Another School Day

*Kiara's P.O.V.*

I woke up the next day a little earlier than normal so I could cover up the bruises that showed up overnight. As I looked into the mirror and saw that there was a bruise that was around my eye and there was one forming around my jaw. I pulled out the makeup to cover up the bruises. Once I was done, I practically ran out the door just so I didn't need to run into my mother, or my sister. Once I got to school, I went to my locker and put my backpack in my locker, and then I was on my way to my first class of the day and when I got there I went to the back of the room and picked the seat that everyone wanted, the one that even the teacher ignored. I put my hood up and then crossed my arms on my desk and put my head down on my arms. I looked like I was falling asleep in class and that was a good thing because then no one would bother me. I heard the bell ring telling me that class was over. I ran out of the room and I caught a glimpse of someone moving from the corner of my eye. They stopped in front of me. I noticed that it was Hunter. I stopped but I didn't lift my head, at least not all the way. I didn't want him to notice that something was wrong with my face. I couldn't explain why, but I couldn't let him see me like that. I very quickly walked away without making eye contact with Hunter. I needed to get out of there before he asked me anything. It's not like I could answer him anyway, because I don't have a way to talk to him anyway. I started walking in the opposite direction. I could hear footsteps behind me. I knew in my gut that it was Hunter following me and I needed to get away from him, so I started looking around and I saw the ladies' room and I walked into it before he could stop me and started grilling me for what happened to my face. I slipped into the bathroom and I walked over to the mirror and splashed myself in the face with some cold water in order to cool myself down. I looked into the mirror and I noticed that I had put the wrong consoler on it washed away when I cleaned my face. I freaked out a little bit and I immediately went for my backpack hoping that I had some more, but then I realized that I didn't have any with me. I rushed out of the house too quickly and forgot to grab anything. I am screwed if anyone sees my face and notices the bruises that were there. I need to get out of here. I will go to the office and see if I can go home early. I mean earlier than normal for me. I need to leave with as little human contact as possible. I can't let anyone see me like this or Mom will have my ass. I put my hood back up and then put my backpack back on and I went to exit the bathroom and a pair of big arms grabbed me, pulling me into another room that was empty and then I could see they were going for my hood. I stopped him from grabbing my hood by slapping his hand away. I heard a familiar voice and I froze in my spot and he said "Hey, I am not going to hurt you please." I peaked out from under my hood and it was in fact Hunter. He looked so hurt that I rejected him from checking on me. I couldn't help it. I didn't want him to see me like that, I wanted to just have that floor swallow me up and not let me out for anything. I just nodded to him and then tried to leave the room but he stopped me. "Please don't leave me. I have questions and I need answers. Please, I'm begging you." Peaked out from under my hood again and I saw the look that made me just stop and flip back so I am now facing him. I didn't want to show him my face. I didn't want him to abandon me, just like everyone else that I know. However, once I saw the hurt expression on his face, it seemed like he really cares about me and what is happening to me and I hope that once I show him I can't take it back and I don't want to show him and then him thinking about me very differently, but he also is very caring and he has been patient with me when I have to write in my journal to let him know. I tugged my arm away from his and he looked more upset. He tries to go and leave. I reached out and snatched his sleeve to stop him from leaving. Once I feel his eyes on me, I point at my backpack. "Oh, you need to grab your notebook. I just want to look at you. Why won't you show me your face?" I pointed at my backpack again and he just said "Okay grab it and we can finally talk." I opened my notebook and wrote down "I will show you my face only on one condition you can't get angry or freak out, do you promise?" I looked out from my hood enough that he wouldn't be able to see my face, but I can see him nod his head. I saw him reach up for my hood and pull it back until it started to fall back by itself. I then let gravity do the rest of the work for me and the hood fell down. I was still staring at the ground like it was the most interesting thing on the entire planet. "Hey, look at me, I wont bite. I promised you I wouldn't get mad or freak out, right?" Those words gave me confidence that I needed. I slowly looked up and into his eyes. Once we made eye contact, he looked furious. He also started to mumble to himself. I couldn't make out what he was saying but I knew it couldn't be good.
