Hello! My best wishes for this chapter :)

                                ~Reuben P.O.V. ~

“Rubs, you’ve been awfully quiet than usual, ever since you came to my house you really haven’t said much. Is everything okay? You know you can tell me anything.”

Lizzie says with sincere worry.

How in the world, I’m I going to tell her what just happened with me and Carson. Even I don’t really understand what happened.

But Lizzie knows me well, I can’t really hide anything from her.

I’m right now, sitting on her bed and working on my school work. I’m actually going to sleep over her house today.

Just thinking about the unlucky scenario, makes me want to have a nervous breakdown.

I thought, when Carson came to the nurse’s office and rudely dismissed Mrs. Collins, I know he wanted to confront me about what I did.

Right there, I believed he would give me a few punches and kicks for not listening to him, but no, he did something way worse.

I rather have him injure me, than him doing would he did. I believe, that’s what they call rape.

Lizzie was still staring at me, and no doubt waiting for me to explain myself.

I don’t even know how to explain it, I guess I can try, well here I go. “Okay, Lizzie.” Wow! My voice came out actually normal.

I continue, “The reason why I’m really quiet, is b-b-because…...Carson, touched me without my permission.” When I finished, I know I was trembling.

I took a glance at Lizzie, and her eyes are like saucers and it took her a minute to comprehend what I just said.

She finally spoke, saying “W-w-wait! Are you serious, Rubs?!

I know it’s hard to believe, but how could Carson touch another guy. I mean, there is nothing wrong with it, he can do whatever he wants, but why that guy has to be me.

I just responded to Lizzie by squeezing both of my hands into two tight fists, and then I shut my eyes, to ensure her I nodded.

“That bastard! How could he do that to you? So, Rubs could you please point to where he touched you.”

What?! Is she serious? I looked at her, to see if she was serious, but she didn’t even change her mind.

So, I pointed to my lips, neck, peepee, and there were other places, but that’s all I’m going to do.

She gasps, and instantly hugs me. She is trying to soothe my worry and confusion, and she says everything is going to be okay.

“That was your first kiss, right Rubs?” She implies.

I just realized that it was, and I really don’t pay attention to love, kissing, and etc.

I really don’t care about those things, because I cared and mainly focus on trying to fix myself.

I still need to do Mr. Bradley project with Carson. Why, do I have to be his partner?

Lizzie then tries to take my of the stupid situation, by asking,

“Hey, Rubs do you want a snack?”

I guess it will take my mind off of Carson, so I nodded and follow Lizzie to the kitchen.

While, I was following Lizzie to the kitchen. I see Lizzie’s Labrador named Poppy running excitingly up to me and I pet his golden fur, and greet him with affection. In return, he licks my face.

Aww, he so cute!

Poppy returns to the backyard, playing with Lizzie’s little brother Riley.

Riley is so adorable, sometimes I wish I had a sibling. Instead of being lonely in that house by myself, I can talk and have fun with a sister or a brother.

I say hello to him. I wonder where Lizzie parents are, then I remember she said they are at work.

Well, they’re always at work, they’re workaholics. Lizzie always has to take care of her little brother, and even Poppy.

Lizzie is finished making sandwiches and call for me and her brother to eat. Then of course, she feeds Poppy too.

While I was eating and making small talk, my phone alerts me, for somebody as sent me a message.

I look at my phone, and I see the caller ID name ‘The Devil’. Oh great (hint: sarcasm) it’s Carson.

I show Lizzie my phone, and I ask her,

“It’s him Lizzie, what should I do?” My voice slightly shaking in the process.

He just loves to mess with me, and he just doesn’t seem to like leaving me alone. He is selfish and it seems like he loves to tease me, it’s plain disgusting to me. I’m getting tired and frustrated with his little games, and I’m trapped in a maze I can’t get out.

Lizzie replies, “Rubs, just answer him. I know he is crazy for texting you, after what he did to you. He doesn’t even deserve you answering him, but God knows what he’ll do if you don’t text the idiot back.”

I shivered at what she said,

I finally, but reluctantly look at the message nervously, and I see that he texted,

Ruby, we need to talk. I actually want to finish Mr. Bradley’s little project. Come to my house tomorrow, and u know better than to think twice.
