Scars To his beautiful

princesses don't cry

*Emilia's P.O.V:

I couldn’t sleep that night , I thought about what happened all night , thought about whether or notto tell my mom.

My poor mother , who was waiting for him back home , with a warm meal , she helped him become the man he is today and this is how he repaid her ?

At first I decided I was gonna tell her , but when I went back home the day after. And saw how happy my mom is with my younger brother and sister , I just hugged her . I couldn’t bring myself to utter a single word .

I just cried and cried ,she was worried about me but I just blamed it on my period and hormones .

On the other side , I’ve been treating my dad like the asshole he is when she’s not around , and I just completely  ignore him when she is . He thinks I’m going  through my “rebellious phase” .

Thankfully I’m starting college , and I chose one with a dorm , I already moved all my stuff .

My mom cried her eyes out begging me to just stay home , but I lied and said I wanted to take responsibility and be a little independent .

She reluctantly agreed , and wished me good luck.

My dad on the other hand , was trying to be all “ authorative” telling me how I shouldn’t go to frat parties , or get drunk …Etc etc , and I was just resisting the urge to smack the f**k outta him .

End of flash back :

I was crying , thinking about all that’s happened in the last 2 weeks ,and I felt utterly broken : what if my mom found out I knew about it and blamed me for not telling her ? should I just tell her ? what about my siblings who are still young and very attached to that asshole ?

As I was lost in my little world of despair and hatred , a deep voice startled me

“ Umm- Is everything okay ?do you need help or something ?” said the guy

I quickly wiped my cheeks and the mascara running under my eyes ,not only  thinking oh my god I must look like an utter mess right now , but also kinda scared of the huge figure approaching me .

“ Umm, i- I’m okay , I don’t need any help or anything thanks tho “ I stumbled looking back towards the ocean.

“ I can tell that you’re not okay princess , I mean “crying in a secluded area” doesn’t say “ I’m okay” to me “he replied

“ well , even if I wasn’t okay, why would I need help from a complete stranger , you could be a serial killer for all I know “ I answer , then realized I should probably get into my car and drive back home before he decides to actually kill me .

I guess he noticed the panic in my movements or my eyes cause he held up his arms in surrender , “ WOAH! Calm down princess , I’m not gonna hurt you or anything , this place is umm- my secret hideout too. I come here to clear my mind or think about – things. “ he said kinda vaguely .

“ oh , yeah that’s what I needed too “I replied

“ well I don’t wanna make you uncomfortable ,I’m gonna go back to my car , laters princess “ he said as he waved back walking towards his car

“ Umm, you can sit next to me if you want , I feelkinda bad for taking your hideout  “ I uttered while thinking why does he keep calling me princess .

“ are you sure ? and u don’t have to feel bad it’s not like I own the place “ he said laughing lightly while taking the hood of his hoodies off his head.

“umm, yeah I don’t mind , u don’t seem like a serial killer now that you took the hood off “ I said looking back at him , I didn’t notice at first cause I couldn’t see his face clearely ,but he was very handsome. He had dark features: black bushy eyebrows , long black eyelashes, a chiseled Jawline with a 5 o’clock shadow . his black hair was styled back in a messy way .And those eyes , beautiful dark Blue orbes I could get lost in . he had a great figure too , he was very tall and muscular but not bulky , and I could see a bit of a tattoo on his arm where he had the sleeves of his hoodies roled up a bit .also on his neck but I couldn’t see that one clearly cause he pulled the hood around his neck .

It wasn’t until he cleared his throat that I realized I was staring , I looked up at his eyes and saw he had a weird expression , it was like a mix of feelings I couln’t quite decipher, amused ? shocked ? worried ? …

I turned my head around embarrassed that I was just caught ogling him , I could feel my cheeks heating up .

“ okey  princess , lemme grab the snacks from my car real quick then “ he said walking back to his car laughing a bit .

He came back with a bag full of snacks and energy drinks ,and sat next to me .

“ here , sweets and junk food always seems to cheer me up you can take which ever ones u prefer“ he said opening the bag towards me .

“ my name’s Alexander by the way , you can call me Alec for short”

“umm, I’m Emilia ,u can call me Emy or lia or whatever u like, thanks for the snacks by the way “ I said as I grabbed a pack of m&ms , I little part of me hopes he keeps calling me princess , I don’t know why but I like it

“

“ you’re very welcome princess , and i- I know who u are , I’ve seen u a few times on campus “ he said kinda nervously .

I could feel the blood drain from my face , I was scared the façade I was tryina maintain was gonna crumble .

Again I guess it showed on my face cause he then said

“ don’t worry , I won’t say a thing , not that I know anything to begin with .I- I don’t really get along with anyone one campus either so “ .

For a second , He looked kinda lonely but his face soon returned back to an emotionless expression .

“ I um- I’d really appreciate it if you didn’t .” I said looking down at my lap , then looking back at him when he didn’t reply after a while .He was looking at me again with that weird mix of emotions in his eyes that I couldn’t decipher , then he smiled

“ don’t worry princess , your secrets are safe with me .if you decide to tell me that is “

“ I – I …. I’m not sure if I should say this .Fuck,I’ll say it anyway… I caught my dad cheating on my mom 2 weeks ago, I – I didn’t know what to do , I decided to tell her but when it came down to it I just couldn’t , How could he do that to us ? he has a wife and 3 kids , I mean he and my mom were highschool sweethearts and everything . If I didn’t see him with my eyes I wouldn’t have believe it “I said as tears streamed down my cheeks again .

“ that- that sounds awful princess, I’m so sorry you had to find out that way “ , he said while wiping the tears off my cheeks  which made me cry even harder , I guess all the emotions I kept locked up deep inside me ,while I pretended to be okay for about 2 weeks came rushing out .

Alec , swiftly pulled me against his chest embracing me as I cried and cried . he kept rubbing my back or my hair and whispering sweet nothings to me until my cries died down , and I was left a sniffling mess .

I backed up slowly from him ,and he handed me a Kleenex to wipe my tears and running makeup with .

I looked over at him and saw a big wet stain on his hoodie , I was mortified

“oh my god , I’m sooo so sorry about your shirt , I didn’t mean to dirty it i- I …” I rambled while grabbing a clean tissue to try and wipe it a bit

“ if’s fine, it’s fine princess .It’s just a hoodie u don’t have to apologize . I can just throw it in the washing machine later. More importantly , do u feel any better” he said looking at me with a sad expression .

And in that moment , he looked like he really cared about me , I mean u wouldn’t embrace a crying girl for 30 minutes , and keep comforting her unless u actually cared right?

I looked up at him and smiled and said “Thank you”

He smiled back at me and we just stayed there talking about whatever , eating snacks and enjoying each others’company .

And for the first time in 2 miserable weeks , I didn’t have to pretend , or keep the façade of the cheerful girl . I was genuinely enjoying myself , enjoying spending time with him .

We spent about 2 or 3 hours , until Alec said:” it’s getting kinda late princess, you should probably go back ,don’t u have like a curfew or something ?”

“ oh s**t , what time is it ?” I said kinda panicking

“ it’s 11:30 “ he said

“oh my god ! I’m waaaay pass curfew “ I was thinking about what I should do until my phone ringed , I looked at it to see Kathleen’s name pop up , I answered it thinking she called right on time .

“ Hey babes , I didn’t see u today on campus , and your roommate said you’re not in the dorm yet , is everthing okay?” aid Kathy

“oh hey Kath ,uh- no I was – I had somethings to get done , so I was busy all day today , and I sorta passed curfew too , can I stay at yours’ today?” I said trying to sound convincing .

“ yeah sure ,come over . been a while since we last had a sleepover, we should call Anna as well “she replied

“ yeah sure, see ya later “

“laters babes “

She hung up , and I turned over to look at Alec , “ well now that that’s settled I should go , thank u for letting me your shoulder , I really appreciate it , and I’m sorry again about your shirt  “ I said smiling a little

“ don’t mention it princess , I’m glad I could be of help even just a little bit .” he replied smiling back at me .

“ well ,you should get going ,I’ll see you later princess “ he kneeled a bit and placed a kiss on my forehead.

That gave me butterflies ,no one has ever made me feel the same way Alec does,and he does so effortlessly .i mean don’t get me wrong , I’ve had boyfriends before but none of them gave me butterflies or made me feel loved and appreciated the way he does .

I said my goodbyes and drove off to Kathy’s apartment .

I couldn’t stop thinking about him that night , the cryptic way he looks at me , his beautiful eyes , his sexy deep voice , or that gentle kiss he placed on my forehead .

The girls noticed the weird look on my face and kept pestering me until I told them everything that happened that day .

Kathleen was giving me a sad look about the fact that I cried and all the crap with my dad , Anna however was tringa change the mood by asking about the mysterious guy I met .
