Chapter 11
1002 Words
My bedroom door banged open and my bedroom lights were switched on before I felt my blanket being ripped from my body and I jumped in surprise to stare at Leonardo, "what the f-!"
"I thought you said you wouldn't hang out with him again!" he screamed as he threw my blanket to the floor.
I sat up on the bed and looked at him in confusion since I had just woken up, "what are you talking about?! What is wrong with you?!"
"I told you to stay away from him, Sabrina! Why don't you f*****g listen?! What the f**k are you doing with Czar Hutcherson?!"
"I didn't invite him over, he just appeared at the front door and -!"
"And you let him in!" my brother accused as he glared at me, "Do you understand how dangerous this man is?!"
"Calm the f**k down, Leonardo! You just barged into my damn room and I'm over here sleeping and you're screaming like I've gone and laid with the devil!"
"This man is dangerous, Sabrina, how many f*****g times should I tell you?!"
"You don't have to tell me anything!" I screeched louder than him, "I know! I know he is! I told him to stay away from me and I keep telling him but he keeps coming after me!"
"You're going to get killed!" he shouted as I stormed out of the room, following me as I rushed to get away from him because I couldn't believe he was screaming at me.
"Stop screaming at me! Stop shouting me!"
He grabbed me by my arm and whipped me around, bringing my body close to his as he held me in a deathly grip, his face enraged, "if you carry on with this man, I'll be the one left behind to bury you, Sabrina! Our family will be the one to lay you six feet underground. You keep messing with Czar," he let out a dry laugh, "and you'll die."
I grit my teeth, glaring at him, "get your hands off me," I said lowly and he let go of me before I whipped around and stormed out of the house, slamming the door so badly that the glass shattered as I carried on walking far away from my brother.
I didn't know where I was going and I didn't know this place too well. I crossed my hands over my chest as I walked down the mountain, praying I wouldn't see any kind of wild animal. I knew at the bottom of the mountain, there were houses and I could ask for a phone or whatever the hell I could. There was no way that I was going back to my brother's place, or seeing Leonardo for some time.
Matter of fact, I think I should just leave. Book a flight and call it a day. My arms were still sore from how tightly Leonardo had gripped me and I sighed, trying to hold in my tears and forcing them back inside my eyes. Now was not the time to cry. Now was not the time at all.
As I was walking I saw a car headed in my direction, but I stayed on the side walk, praying it wasn't some kidnapper or killer. I always have that little bit of fear.
I carried on walking but I watched as the car slowed down and I couldn't see the kind of car it was or the license plate because the street was dark and there was no street lights. I neared the car, keeping my head straight and ready to walk past it as quickly as I could until I heard a familiar voice.
"Dr," and the passenger door opened, I looked into the car to make sure it was Czar and I know I should've questioned what he was doing here or not have gotten into his car at all.
But I didn't ask any questions and was just grateful that he was there. I got into the car and closed the door behind me before I put my knees to my chest, and buried my face into my knees and started to cry.
I was stupid for crying but I cry whenever I'm upset. Leonardo has never in his life raised his voice at me or gotten so violent towards me. I guess it caught me by surprise that we had such a big disagreement and I was shaken up by it.
He had his reasons for being concerned and I understand and know his reasons because I too don't want to get involved with Czar but it just happens. It always just kind of happens, like he's just there and he refuses to leave. It's not like I'm running after him, and I know he's dangerous. I know he's a killer and that's why I keep pushing him away, but for crying out loud, I'll never see him again after this and I've made sure to be as honest as possible with him.
I won't get involved with Czar.
I barely even know Czar and I'm already in his car breaking down and sobbing in his passenger seat like a distressed silly teenager in those stupid clichéd movies. I forced myself to sit up properly and wiped my tears with hurry, and took the seat belt and buckled myself in as I swallowed my cries down my throat and looked outside the window to collect myself.
"Hey," my voice came out hoarse as I looked at Czar who was concentrating on the road, and he turned to look at me, taking his eyes off the road as he looked me over.
He let out a small smile, like I hadn't been sobbing in his car and he wasn't awkwardly listening in, "hi," he said just above a whisper.
I sniffled, and put on a smile, "I'm ok."
He looked at me, the smile coming off his face as he shook his head, "no you're not, but that's ok."
