3420 Words
Tiffany's POV: I rolled over snuggling deeper into my pillow. Wait...pillow? When did I go to bed? Ugh! it doesn't matter. I tried to get out of bed but something held me down. I saw a muscular arm securely wrapped around my waist as if I was going to run away. I followed the arm to see who it belonged to and it was none other than Alexander. I sighed and tried moving his arm but his grip just tightens around me. I turned around and poke his cheek. He groaned hiding his face in the pillow Then I did the last thing possible "ALEXANDER!" I shouted making him fall off the bed. I bit back my laugh while he glared at me "what the hell?" he spat. I bursted out laughing, "you think this is funny?" he questioned, "I find it hilarious" I laughed. he smirked, "let's see how you like it?" he pushed me off the bed, "your face was priceless" I laughed. He let out a chuckle getting up coming over to my side. "Want some help?" I nodded putting my hands out. He smiled pulling me up to my feet. I wiped away my tears from laughter, "oh god, that was funny" I sighed. He rolled his beautiful brown eyes. "Shut up," he muttered going to the bathroom, "how did I get to the bed?" I asked, "you don't remember" I shook my head. He sighed, "you passed out so I carried you. I had the girls changing your clothes for you" I smiled. "Thanks," I guess he isn't a cold-hearted guy, "you mention a guys name," he said and my eyes widened, "What name?" I asked fear took over, "I couldn't make out what you were saying really" he shrugged brushing his teeth. I sighed but somewhat scared. I could tell he was hiding something but what was it? did I mention his name? I guess I have to ask the girls later. I sighed and got dressed and went to brush my teeth, Once I was finished I put on shoes and went downstairs to talk to the girls. "Hey, how you feeling?" Lauren came up to me, "fine, but I need to talk to you. In private" I stated. She nodded her head and pulled me into her room, "Alexander said I said a guys name but he didn't hear it and I can tell he was lying" I explained. "Did you-you mentioned a guy named Logan. Xander knows a guy named Logan but doesn't know if he's the same guy" she said. I gripped my upper arms, "I didn't need him to find out about him" I muttered. "What happened?" she asked, "I can't say here. noT with all these cameras and especially when Alexander is here," I stated. "We can get out if you want. we can also bring Molly" she suggested. I nodded my head. We walked out of her room and got Molly, "Where are you three going?" We turned to Alexander, "getting pads, shopping breakfast" we all said, he looked at us like we were mental. "We're going to go out and eat breakfast then go shopping for girl things" I corrected our saying, "Hmm?" he raised a brow. I chuckled, "I forgot to tell you about this morning and what I did?" I laughed. "Okay, you can go" he rushed out, "just don't tell anyone" I smirked. the girls looked amused "I always win" I grabbed my bag and keys heading out with the girls to a small coffee shop that had the best waffles and pancakes ever. The other food was amazing too but I loved having breakfast here, "Tiffany, Welcome back my dear" an elderly lady hugged me, "Hello Mrs Conner, we'll just take a booth in the back" I smiled at her and walked to a booth. "Okay, so who Logan?" Lauren asked. We ordered our food first then I started explaining. "Around two years back was in college I met this guy Logan Walker most likely Alexander does know him since his a gangleader but I wanna make sure what I say stays between us girl and us only" I stated. "Yeah. We left our phones in the car and the boys don't know where here talking" Molly said and I nodded my head. and continued. "When I met Logan, my roommate had warned me about him. She said he was bad news, that he would have s*x with me and throw me out like every other girl. But I thought differently. so I got to know him when we started dating a few months after. Things were going great that was until the night he came to my dorm drunk out of his mind" I took a deep breath as our food came. "My roommate was studying with her friend for a test in one of her classes so I was alone in the dorm. He walked in and forced himself on me. I tried pushing him off but he was stronger than I was. He said if I tried screaming or shouting for help he would hurt my siblings and they were three at the time" I felt myself on the verge of tears. "After that night things started getting worse. He had become abusive and possessive. I wasn't allowed to have guy friends. I wasn't allowed to talk to any nor was I allowed to look a guy besides his friends. The abuse becomes worse as the days go on. It got so bad I was in the hospital for two weeks. He lied to say I got beat up by girls because they were jealous but it was a lie" I sniffled. "I didn't have a father figure to watch out for me but then I ran into Jack. He was who helped me. He walked in on Logan hitting me because I talked to him. Jack called the police on him and they arrested him. He was in jail until two weeks ago when he got out. I was scared out of my mind he was coming for me. I never left the house. I never went out with my siblings by myself and I made sure no one knew my address. Logan wasn’t the only one who r-r***d me" My voice broke "He let his friends do it too. My mind is full of scarred memories that I will never be able to forget. That's why I freaked out when I said I might have feelings for Alexander. I'm afraid to love again" I cried "It's going to be okay, don't cry" Lauren rubbed my back, "I pushed myself away from everyone. I hated my father for not caring about what was happening to me. I hated ever male in my life beside my brother and Jack" I wiped my tears. "Then Xander came and you feared the worse?" I nodded. It felt good to tell someone about this but I don't think they'll understand how I'm feeling. "you feared that he'll do the same as Logan did to you," Molly's fist clenched. I nodded my head. I felt stupid to think the same thing would happen again. Not every guy is the same but some finds to get you right where you need them. "I went through depression on many occasions, tried to kill myself but every time. I tried but then I remembered my family, my friends. They were my anchor's. They brought me back to who I am today" I smiled slightly. "That's rough," Lauren sighed, "but you have us know. You have me and Molly. The boys Alexander, Jack and your family. We'll stick by you but I have to know does anyone else know about this besides us and Jack?" I shook my head. "I never had the guts to tell my mother. I was scared she would be disappointed in me. My friends wouldn't understand it so I said I was upset about the breakup but breaking up with him made me feel free again. I worked out and trained every day and I got stronger"I smiled. "I'm not the same pushover as back then but damn am I bipolar and extremely sensitive these days" I chuckled, "Aren't we all Tiffany?" Molly shook her head with a smile. We changed the topic and enjoyed our breakfast. We laughed and shared jokes. We headed back to the house after we paid for our food. I felt as if we were missing something but all well. I kept driving to the house. || Twenty minutes later || I parked my car and headed inside. "didn't you say you were going shopping for girl things?" Wes questioned as we walked into the living room "I knew we forgot something," I muttered, "Blame her. Damn were those pancakes amazing" I smiled "Where did you find that place?" Molly asked, "One of my friends from college showed me it. That lady that greeted us when we came in was her grandmother" I stated. I sat down sighing, "Move over," Alexander nudged me. "i***t," I muttered moving, he raised a brow, "it's not cussing, it's an insult. Like calling Noah a d**k is an insult" I stated, he rolled his eyes. "Whatever you say," he muttered. someone's being cold. "And I thought me being Bipolar was bad," I mumbled. Molly snickered, "what did you say?" he questioned, "Nothing, I said nothing," I shook my head, "Like that guy," Lauren raised a brow. I threw a pillow at her face. "Shut up, he looks like those twelve-year-old fuckboys" she laughed, "that's not what you said when you saw him" Molly smirked. I facepalmed myself, "you never know when to shut your mouths do you?" I groaned "Nope, you did get his number" Lauren gave me a look. Was she trying to get me killed? "Okay, I'm leaving before things get disgusting here" Wes stood up and left, "you are the most painful pair of girls I have met" I stood up and left "Just change my name to another guy. Well, find out this way if he likes you or not" Lauren whispered to me. "Fine," I muttered walking out doing as told. I knew I was being followed by him. I went up to the bedroom and opened the door. I walked in was pinned against the wall, "what did I tell you yesterday? No boys" he growled. Our faces only inches apart, "I'm my own person. I do what I want whenever I want" I smirked. This just angered him more, "Watch yourself, you're playing with fire here" he hissed walking out the room, "what the hell is his problem?" I muttered to myself. I went to the bathroom grabbing a towel. I went for a nice cold shower. I need it badly. I turned on the cold walked and stepped out of my clothes locking the bathroom door. I stepped in shivering when the cold water came in contact with my skin. I took a deep breath and washed my hair and body shaving my legs. Once I finished I wrapped a towel around my body and dried my hair going to my closet, "get dressed we're going to my parents" I rolled my eyes. I pulled out a nice white maxi floral dress matching it with black heels. I walked out and straightened my hair. I had done light makeup and I was finished. I walked out off the bathroom. I saw Alexander all dressed up and ready. He looked up and be and walked over. "My parents think we're dating so go with it," I sighed, "Fine," I muttered and walked past him collecting the rest of my things. I put on my watch as we walked out and meet up with everyone else, "Let's hope your sister isn't a b***h" Noah said. "You have a sister?" I questioned and he nodded, "I'm surprised you didn't deal with her while you worked," I thought about, "hold up, please tell me she was that emo child that they brought into the station" I sighed "depends on what name she had" Wes shrugged, "Kayla West," I stated. Adam chuckled, "I told you she was going to get in trouble with the police," I shook my head sighing, "Can we just get this over with please?" Lauren asked. We all nodded and headed out to the cars. Once again, I was stuck alone with Alexander. I didn't speak nor did he. I had nothing to say to me. He had no right to tell me what I can or can't do or who I should be allowed to talk to or not. He wasn't my boyfriend nor was he anything to me. He was just the guy who brought me and took me into his home. That's all he was to me. I broke out of my thoughts when I felt the car come to a stop. I got out of the car when I felt an arm snake around my waist. Remember his parents thought we were dating. Just go along with it. I put a smile on my face and walked to the front door beside Alexander after Wes barged in like he owned the place. "I'm home!" Wes shouted in the house, "There are my handsome boys" a middle-aged lady walked out with a big smiled and hugged the boys then the girls, "Mother," Alexander cleared his throat getting her attention. "Xander, my baby it's so good to see you again" she hugged him. She pulled away and looked at me, "this is Tiffany, my girlfriend," her jaw dropped, "that's new," I heard Noah mutter, I rolled my eyes. "Where are my manners? hello dear, I'm Samantha, it's pleasure to meet such a beautiful girl like you" I shook hands with her, "The pleasure is all mine," I smiled at her then a man came out came out. He looked like Alexander a bit. "Hello, I'm Vince," he put his hand out. I smiled and gladly shook his hand, "Tiffany, this one's girlfriend," I pointed at Alexander, "well, that's new" he muttered looking at his son, "my words exact Vin" Noah laughed. "Father," Alexander clenched his jaw, "son," he nodded his head, "Is Kayla getting ready?" Samantha asked her husband, "That girl will be the death of me," he sighed. "I can help with that," I smacked Alexanders chest, "don't be rude," I hissed at him, "Mind if I try?" I asked, "you could try but she has her door locked" Vince sighed, "Molly, hairpins?" I asked. She handed me two, "Where's her room?" I asked, "the second one on your left," He raised a brow in curiosity. I headed up the stairs and heard disturbing music playing. I shook my head and picked the lock. After a couple of minutes, I heard the door click and it opened. I smirked and walked in turning off the speakers opening the window, "you have exactly twenty minutes, to shower get dressed, clean your room and get rid of this disgusting smell in your room. Don't do it and I might just have to tell your parents about the time I had to arrest you" I gave her a hard cold stare. I saw her gulp, "you're time starts now, I'll be back" I stated and left the room closing the door heading back down, "I gave her twenty minutes, she doesn't come down she knows what happens" I stood beside Alexander. || Twenty minutes later || Twenty minutes passed and Kayla walked in cleaned and dressed "Did you do as I told you?" she nodded her head, "Good, happens again and you know what happens," I stated. she gulped and nodded. "You're a bright young girl, don't throw your life, kid. Plus I might need some help digging up dirt on your brother so I need you ready in case" she giggled. I smiled and sat down beside Alexander. "What did you do?" I shrugged, "It's something called authority and with the help of some lock picking" I shrugged my shoulder, "nice," Wes fist bumped me. I just smiled and turned to Alexander He stared at me and his sister in shock with his mouth open "Close your mouth, don't wanna catch any flies now do you?" He quickly closed his mouth, "you don't get along with your father do you?" I asked. He sighed, "we never got along," he muttered. "seems like we both have problems with our father's," I looked at my watch, "we have one thing we relate too," I chuckled, "that fact our father's are irritating? " I laughed, "Or maybe the fact their d**k," I shook my head holding back my laugh when Vince walked in. I covered my mouth with my hand and leaned back in my chair, "Imagine if he heard," I muttered, "he would look like redder than my mother's lipstick," I shook my head. Everyone looked us like we were going crazy, "why would you compare to lipstick," he shrugged, "first thing that popped into my head," he muttered, "sure it did, you probably thought of many things but that was the least dirty thing that could be put into words" He smiled sheepishly at me. "food is served," Samantha put the last of the food onto the table and we all started eating and joking around, "So how long have you and Xander been dating?" Samantha asked, "Why don't you answer this one" I smiled "Two months," wow that was a fast response, "how come I'm just hearing about this?" Samantha scoffed, "you never asked," he said rudely. I smacked his head, "what did I say? Don't be rude" I glared him. "Okay, jeez sorry," he muttered. I shook my head, "seems like someone had to re-teaching you manners" Vince said, "Vince, I'm just helping your son find the manners that your wife taught him," I corrected him. "Maybe if you hit him hard enough they might come back," I rolled my eyes at Noah, "Maybe Someone needs to hit your head for some brain cells," I muttered. Alexander looked at me shocked. I knew he was holding back a laugh. "Should we be expecting grandkids?" I don't want I choked on but I choked on something. Alexander looked at his mother with wide eyes, "What? I'm just asking," she said. "Two months and you're asking about kids?" I gripped his forearm, "Alexander, enough" I muttered, he pulled my arm off and stormed out of the room. So dramatic. I groaned and stood up and walked out after him. I opened the front door and saw him leaning against his car with a cigarette in his hand. I walked up to him and took it out of his hand, "Tiffany give it back," he hissed, "no, what kind of example are you to your sister?" I spat at him. "I don't care," he growled, "since when do you care about anything besides your gang and smoking. I saw the look on your mother's face when she saw you. I saw the disappointment in her eyes" I said. "You may not care about yourself but others do care about you. The boys care about. Your parents. The girls. I care about you. This thing that you enjoy so much to release stress is what causes more stress then you know" I stated. He just stared at me blankly, "don't act like you know everything about me" he seethed, "Oh but I do. I know that Samantha isn't your biological mother. I know what happened to your mother because in the police station they're sat your criminal record" I said. "Maybe it's you who acts like they know someone else better than themselves" He turned away, I scoffed, "enjoy killing yourself. I hope you get what you want" I shoved it back in his hand and walked back in. "what happened?" Lauren asked, "He's being a little prick that's what happened" I muttered. She sighed leaning back. The rest of the afternoon continued until we decided to leave. I looked out the window and ignored Alexander the whole ride. We pulled up into the driveway. I got out of the car and headed inside. I went straight to my closet and changed out of my dress and into some leggings and an over-sized t-shirt. I got into bed and took a nap but little did I know this nap last till the next morning
