Chapter 7 The Party
We got pick up to go to the party.
"Whoa. Look out!" Brad, my ex-boyfriend, said. "I'm really missing out now."
"Yeah can we go?" I asked.
"Yea." he laughed. We got to Allen's house. The instant we walked in, Allen came up to me and grabbed my hand and lead me to a different room.
"We need to talk." he said.
"Yea. Speak." I said.
"I want to break up." he said.
"Fine." that pissed him off and he smacked me. I instantly fell to the ground. He had used all his strength which was alot considering he was a bodybuilder.
"You can stay if you want." he had a smirk on his face. I collected myself and got up.
"No thanks." I said and left. I walked down the street. Soon I didn't relize where I was heading. I looked up and ran right into a guy.
"Sorry." I said.
"No my fault." he said. "Can I do something to make up for this?"
"Yeah. Introduce yourself." I said thinking I should know who I ran into.
"Oh. I'm sorry. I'm Aaron and you are?" he asked
"I'm Raven." I said. "So do you live in Virginia?"
"No. I'm here until Tuesday night."
"Really."
"Yeah. Do you live here?"
"Only for a month."
"wow."
"What?"
"What happened to you?"
"Just a little fight."
"That looks pretty bad. Here let's go back to my place and let me take a look at it."
"I can't I have to go home."
"Let me look at it and then I'll take you home." with that he took my hand and directed me to a hotel. "Then you can tell me how exactly you got it." we went in his room.
"I'd rather not being that I just met you."
"Then let me take you out to eat so we can get to know each other." he took a washcloth and put it on my face.
"When tomorrow?"
"yeah."
"Okay."
"At 8 sound good?"
"Yeah."
"Okay. I think I should take you home. It's getting late."
"Can I use your phone first?"
"Yeah go ahead." I picked the phone and called Katie.
"hello." Katie answered.
"Katie I'm going home. So be there when I get there." I said.
"Hey, you're interrupting something." She said.
"Sorry, but I'm going home. So be there in a hour." I said.
"Thanks for the half hour. Bye." she hung up. So did i.
"So it takes a hour to get to your house?" Aaron asked.
"No, but she was doing something I didn't want to interrupt." I said.
"Okay let's get to know each other now." he said.
"Okay. What do you want to know?" I asked.
"Why are you only here for a month?" I told him about my life but leaving out my real father's name. I just called him my real father instead of Matt Hardy. By the time I was done it was a half hour.
"We should get going." I said.
"Yeah so tomorrow at 8 we finish this." he said. We got up and I let him go ahead of me so I could follow him to his car. We got to his car and we both got in. I gave him direction. When we got there Katie was waiting.
"Could I borrow this?" I said pointing to his hooded sweater.
"Yeah." he said. "See you tomorrow.' I put on the sweater and got out.
"Bye." I said and waved to him as he left. I walked over to Katie and we went in the house. Then we went upstairs. She changed and then I did. I looked at my face in the mirror. It was swelled up. I went back in the room.
"What happened to you?" Katie asked.
"Allen broke up with me then hit me. Nothing big." I said.
"He hit you." she said in disbelief.
"Yea. I left and bumped into Aaron and his taking me out to eat." I said.
"What!? You just met him!" Katie said.
"I know but he's only here until Tuesday and I trust him." I said.
"Raven, please listen to reason." she said.
"Katie trust me. I know what I'm doing." I defended myself.
"Really. Fine you won't listen to me anyways." she said.
"Good night Katie." I said and went to bed. The alarm went off at 7:30. I turned my head and the pain is what really woke me up.
"Good morning. Get ready for school." Katie said. "It looks worse today. Raven you should do something about it."
"I'll do something about it." I mumbled.
"What?" Katie asked.
"Nothing." I got up and changed. She was right it was worst. He's going to pay. I thought. I put the sweater on. I didn't relize it before but it smelt good. We got to school. Tiffaney came up to me.
"You lost a good man." she said.
"Really. You be the judge." I said showing her my face, then I walked away.
"You know Tiffaney dumped me because of you." Allen said at lunch.
"Good." I said and left. He stayed there fuming. Josh came up to me. He looked mad.
"You know that was mean. What you did to Tiffaney." he said.
"You know, Josh. Allen shouldn't have done what he did." I said calmly.
"Plus you look fine." he said.
"Really." I put down the hood. He gasped.
"He didn't do that." he defended Allen.
"yeah that's why I left the party." I told him and walked away. I headed to class. The rest of the day went by so slow. By 3:00 school day had ended. Katie and I went to her house. I made sure I was covering my face. Once we got there we went upstairs and did homework. That lasted until 4:00 after that we fell asleep. I woke up at 6 and went downstairs.
"Raven two people called for you while you were sleeping." Nancy, Katie's mom, said.
"Who?" I asked.
"A guy named Aaron and Jeff." she said. "Their numbers are on the fridge." I jumped up and ran into the kitchen and looked at the numbers. How did Aaron get my number? Who cares.
