The Alpha's unfortunate mate.

I start monday

Chapter 8

The hand on my shoulder surprised me and made me scared at the same time. But when I turned around it was the popular boy from school that had all the girls sleeping with him.

“Please leave me alone Anthony.” I told him.

“You know my name?” He said to me.

“Yes, we went to school together before I dropped out.” I replied.

“Oh, I saw you storm out of the diner. I was just asked by Liam the owner of the diner if I could train you next week so he could offer you a job.” He said to me.

“I would appreciate the job but after what Rebecca said to me, I don’t feel safe working there. I don’t like rude people.” I told him.

“Well I will tell Liam and I guarantee that Liam will fire her if she gets three strikes on her name. Anyway would you like to sit down and get a drink so we can discuss with Liam what you would need to do while here.” Anthony said.

“I’m sorry but I have been here for over 2 hours. I have to start walking towards the school to meet my brother and sister.” I told him.

“Oh well maybe we could have that quick meeting and then Liam or I could give you a lift with Jacob in Jacobs car towards the school.” Said Anthony.

“Look Anthony that’s a nice offer but I am not exactly wanting to sit in a car with a stranger. If I am allowed the job, I could come back tomorrow to find out some more details.” I told him.

Anthony gestured at Liam to come over so he did.

“By the way you don’t need to call me Anthony, my name is Tony.” Anthony said.

“Okay Anthony.” I said with a smile.

He looked and smiled like he was thinking I was cheeky but I tried to not laugh.

“Liam, would you like to ask Kiara the question? She has to leave to walk to the school. She isn’t leaving because of Rebecca being rude to her though.” Anthony said.

“Kiara, would you like to start work with us next week?” Liam asked.

“I would, is there any uniforms I need to get or a time to start?” I asked Liam.

“Monday 8:30am, and you just need enclosed shoes. We have clean new uniforms in the back that you can look for one in your size. We leave uniforms here to get washed and hung up. You will get 2 uniforms and you can store the spare in your locker which is to store personal items like your phone and bag.” Liam explained.

“Okay, I don’t have a phone though. And do you know when I will finish so I can tell them to meet me at the park until I finish?” I asked Liam.

“Well Tony will be working until 2pm so for the first week you will be working until 2pm. But then after that you will be working from 9am to 5pm to get you use to everything. Is that okay?” Liam asked.

“I would prefer to work to as late as 3 or 3:30pm but I can’t do later as I have to help mark with his homework and I have to cook and do laundry and clean up.” I answered.

“Oh well we can get that arranged but Rebecca will have to come in to do the locking up and the till.” Liam said to Tony.

“Okay well that is settled, nice to meet you Kiara.” Said Liam.

“It was nice to meet you Liam, and nice to se you without a cheerleader licking your face Anthony. Have a good afternoon.” I replied as I turned to walk to the school.

I heard Liam laugh at Tony and I smiled. When I reached near the school I waited down the road so the school cameras didn’t catch me. And Mark brought Alicia down to where I was.

“So how did it go?” Mark asked.

“I start Monday. But I may be late picking you both up so you may need to walk home without me if I am not here next week at this spot.” I told Mark.

“That’s good. Well I hope you can look at getting a tent or two and some camping items.” Mark said.

“I will try to, now shh, Alicia isn’t allowed to know.” I whispered back.

We finally reached home and I quickly went to change but dad saw me in moms clothes and snapped.

“Take Alicia.” I sad to Mark when dad was running towards me with a rolled up fist.

“Dad don’t.” I called out.

Dad ignored me and hit me. The alcohol on his breath was very strong.

“Please don’t.” I cried to dad as he kept hitting me.

“You think you can take my son! You think you can leave! I loved you Carrie! I f*****g loved you!” Dad screamed at me in between the blows.

“Dad it’s not Carrie it’s Kiara!” I cried.

“Don’t lie to me you f*****g whore.” Dad said.

Dad kept hitting and hitting, It was the last thing I remember before passing out and waking up in dad’s bed naked with dad next to me naked and passed out. I felt disgusting. I tried to get up slowly but fell straight away. I checked to see if dad was awake, he was still passed out. I got to the door and unlocked it. I crawled out the door and shut it slowly behind me. I then crawled towards Mark’s room which was closer than mine and opened it to Mark doing homework. Mark hadn’t noticed me crawling in.

“Help.” I said before collapsing.

Mark had turned around and saw my naked body. He grabbed his jacket to throw on me and tried to help me up. He was about to sit me down on his bed.

“No I need to shower first please.” I begged.

“I don’t want to sit with his DNA still on me.” I cried.

“Okay Kiara,  I will walk you into the shower, you sit down in there with the water running while I get you some clothes. We need to get you to a hospital because you are bleeding from your head.” Mark said.

I felt my head and looked at my hand, it was red.

“No hospital.” I said.

“Please.” Mark said.

“No.” I replied.

Mark walked me to the bathroom and helped me shower and grabbed my clothes and even helped dress me.

“I want to tell someone.” Said Mark.

“No, it’s not up to you. Please just don’t tell anyone.” I cried.

Mark sighed. He went to walk away but I grabbed his hand.

“Please don’t go. I don’t feel safe. Please hold me.” I said to Mark.

“Let me just turn my light off and put my homework in my bag.” Mark said.

I nodded and slowly made my way from the bottom of my bed to my pillows and pulled the blanket down as carefully as I could. Mark was back 10 minutes later and put his arm around me.

“Your safe Kiara, our plan is in motion. We will be out of here soon.” Mark whispered.

I ended up falling asleep an hour after I went to bed. Mark got up early and went to get ready so he could make breakfast then he got Alicia up and helped her get ready.

“Kiara, I know you probably aren’t hungry yet. So I brought up a muffin in a plastic bag for you to eat whenever you can. I hope you enjoy it. Try to rest and I will walk Alicia home straight away this afternoon.” Mark told me.

“Thank you Mark.” I said.

Mark had a sad look on his face. He disappeared but came back to the room shortly afterwards.

“Here is 2 bottles of water, maybe that will help you.” Mark said.

I  know he is referring to my voice and how weak I sounded. Mark went downstairs and then I heard the front door shut. I knew I was locked in the house with dad and I was not going to leave my room. I was determined to stay in my room, even if it meant peeing out of the window when I had to go.
