AMERY

The morning sun shone brightly and peered through the drapes as it illuminated the entire bedroom. The cool morning breeze of nature blew through the trees as the light from the sun rays penetrated inside the big room and casted on my body as i laid down there, unmoved on the bed. I groaned and blinked twice without waking up, in hopes to dismiss the persistent light.

Minutes later, I woke up slowly and wiped my hands against my face. For a moment, i wondered what I was still doing in bed and that was when the memories of last night washed over me.

Perturbed, i tried to move myself when i felt my body jerk repeatedly. I was sore alright. Last night was a very wild one and I couldn't believe that I had gone ahead to have s*x with Levi.

Still in my thoughts, I glanced around the entire bedroom and that was when i realized that Levi wasn't on the bed. Did he leave last night or early this morning. I ran my hands over his spot and it was cold which was a clear indication that he didn't sleep here last night. Guilt and regret mixed with immense hurt and pain cobbled up inside me.

How on earth did I let this happen? Why did I let him do what he did to me yesterday? Why didn't I fight or protest when he asked me to? How would I explain it to Asher or anyone that I had lost my virginity to someone like Levi who didn't care a damn about me? He was the last person on Earth that I expected to be intimate with. We don't even cross the same path neither do we see eye-to-eye so why him of all people?

Yes I will admit that I was hurt beyond measure yesterday considering what happened at school and I will also admit that he was kind enough to help me out of my predicament but knowing Levi, he was not the kind of person to help others without having an ulterior motive behind it.

Reaching for my neck I ran my fingers around it, praying earnestly to not come across any bite mark because then it will only mean that he had marked me as his mate just like Asher had told me before. I blew out a sign of relief when I didn't come across any. In as much as I would like to blame him I couldn't, because I had engineered everything to happen in the first place. I was the one who forced him to have s*x with me even when he refused to. And I can't get mad at him because it was consensual. I asked for it and not the other way around. He didn't take advantage of me. If anything I was the one who took advantage of him.

Pushing my thoughts to the back of my head, I tried to move and get up for the second time but gasped immediately when my muscles protested. My hands touched a part of the bed and I realised that it was damp. I slowly looked down only for me to realise that it was stained with blood.

I froze as cold chills run up my spine. Forcing myself out of the bed I pulled out the bed sheets and threw them into the laundry basket in my bedroom. Should in case mum or anyone sees it then I'll be done for life. I winced in pain when I felt another sting in my inner thighs. No one told me that it was going to hurt this much. Painstakingly I threw on a fresh sheet on my bed before making my way into the bathroom. I ran myself a hot bath and soaked myself inside, letting the water do wonders to the part of my body that have been brutalized last night.

Right there in the tub I wondered how I was going to face Quincy and Levi today. I might be able to certainly handle Quincy but what about Levi? How do I look in in the eye after what has transpired between us? And to think that I always blabbed about not having anything to do with him in the future. Asher would be so disappointed I mentally slapped myself.

I finished with my bath and make my way to my bedroom. Pulling out some clothes from my closet, I settled for a casual dress and flats. The image of Levi standing here flash through my brain and I couldn't help the certain rush of excitement that sizzled through my veins. I was supposed to hit this guy but why couldn't I and why was I always drawn towards him?

Discarding my thoughts I made my way downstairs and I was surprised to see mum and Dad on the table I kissed her good morning and took my seat far away from where that was seated.

"How are you Amery? Are you feeling okay now?" She proceeded to ask and I simply nodded my head in response. What was I supposed to say anyway? That yesterday night, a young guy came into my bedroom and had s*x with me without their knowledge? Does it even make any sense?

"You know that you can sit today out if you don't want to go right?" Mum asked after I took a bite out of my bread. "There's no reason for you to go anyways. That school has done more harm than good to your sanity and I also think it's high time you quit. What do you say?"

"There's no point in me quitting mum. My name has already been cleared that I wasn't responsible for what happened and besides it's too late to quit even if I wanted to."

She siged feeling defeated. "You don't always have to be strong Amery. And that's why we are here for you." She said with a placating smile on her face. "I honestly did not want you to go to school today and that was why I intentionally did not wake you up so you can go back to bed after breakfast if you want to."

"Thanks for your concern mum but I would rather fix it than hide away. And why should I run from something when I wasn't even faulted in the first place? I'm not a wimp and you should know that too."

"Alright then." She agreed and took her seat next to mine. All the while, dad remained silent and didn't order a single word. Not like I was expecting him to anyways. With the actions he displayed in school I believe it was safe to say at this point that I didn't have a father. He had denied and forsaken me first so I think it's high time I returned the favour.

I finished with my food and stood up to take my leave when his voice stopped me. "Do you want me to give you a ride to school?"

I scoffed and turned slowly to face him. The nerve of him to think that we can simply bury this matter like it never happened simply because he has offered to give me a ride to school.

"Don't bother about it. I'll simply take the bus like I do everyday." I took another step but his voice came again for the second time.

"You cannot blame me for the stands I took yesterday concerning that issue Amery." He said in his defence. "Any parent in my shoes would have done the same thing if their child was involved in a mess as big as that one."

I whipped my head was his direction angrily. "No parents would have done what you did to me yesterday Dad!" I commented boldly. "And if I truly was your child, you would defend me no matter what. Mom was also present there when it all happened but she still took my side. I cried and begged you to believe me but you didn't. You treated me as though I didn't mean anything to you."

"So don't generalize your actions by involving every parent. You let me down Dad and it actually hurt me to replace out that you didn't trust me not even a bit." I cried out feeling frustrated.

I flipped my hair backwards in rage. "Do you know how frustrated I was yesterday? What I wanted from you was to hug me and tell me that everything would be fine. I was grateful when the principal said that she wanted to call you to school because I thought that you would listen and stand by me but what did you do? Nothing and I will not forgive you for it."

"Amery-"

"Thank you for proving to the whole school yesterday that I never had a father and that you didn't birth me." I said with teary eyes. "Thank you for making me feel utterly useless yesterday and thank you for showing me the truth because I can proudly admit to the whole world now, that I indeed do not have a father!" I yelled at him and quickly dashed out of the house, ignoring their calls as I made my way straight to the bus station.
