The Stories We Tell

CHAPTER 4

Erin's POV-

After Science, I decided to apologize to Mr.Parker for just leaving yesterday. I waited until everyone was out the classroom. I walked to his desk.

 " Sorry about yesterday" he looked up and let out a laugh.

 " Really?" he asked " Well to show how sorry you are I need you to tutor someone." 

I was surprised by how easy he was letting me of the hook. " Oh sure I could, that's easy!" I said with full confidence, " Who?" now he had a worried expression.

 " Well um... It's Liam Baker" he replied barely audible. 

I felt like my heart stopped. " What?! Are you crazy?!"  I yelled completely out of my mind. 

" I'm sorry," he said obviously sad for my case. 

Liam Baker is a demon. When we kids we were somewhat friends. Yeah, hard to believe right? but we were. That's until we reached High School. He started this rumor that I slept with multiple men.

 It's crazy, everyone believed it cause, nobody gave two- f***s about the truth. He made my life a living hell. And I never want to have any to do with him, unless it has to do with me killing him.

 " Can't you just change it? you know i can't work with that -" I desperately asked.... "There are no more, I'm sorry."

Then a familiar voice said, " I'm here for my tutoring,"

 I turned to my nightmare and turned back to Mr.Parker,

 " You've got to be kidding me please, you can't do this to me," I begged.

" Look it might not even be that bad," he replied then turned to Liam.

 " It starts tomorrow and this is your tutor, Hazel." he pointed his fingers at me.

 I turned around to face Liam.

 " Really," Liam smiled. I was pissed.

 " We start tomorrow 3:00 in Library," "Don't be late," Mr. Parker added.

After all that pressure I was ready to go home. I told Mr.Parker that I was leaving an headed to my car. 

" I'm sorry," a voice called after me. 

I turned to see the demon. " Are you serious," I had not time to talk to that pile of trash so I continued walking to my car. "Please listen,"  I was surprised that that demon would have the courage to talk to me after what he had done.

 I turned my head toward him and simply said "No," and drove off.
