My Bestfriend's Brother Shouldn't Know How I Taste novel Chapter 145

Ashley’s pow

I tossed and turned, kicking off the blanket that wanted to shelter me in its warmth. Right now I didn’t want it to, I wanted to sleep peacefully. But the image of Peter’s rough hand on my body jolts me back awake.

Nausea instantly settled in my stomach, rolling in waves that prevented me from falling asleep.

I remember feeling helpless, weak when he had pinned me under him. I knew that I wouldn’t has been able to fight him off

I remember the thin sweat that coated my skin, the way my heart pummeled painfully in my the

was protected by my breast bone yet I felt that it would’ve ripped through my chest. I rolled on my back and stared at the ceiling

It was night and everyone had gone to sleep already. Earlier had missed having dinner with my family

I was too busy scrubbing my skin until it was raw and red, I spent at least an hour in the shower and knew dad and mom were worried.

And I was right because after I had gotten out mom was waiting for me. Her eyes scanned my skin and worry it her features. it was what I was preventing, I didn’t want to worry them, yet I was

I felt ashamed and quickly looked for an excuse. 1 fall into something icky today, I needed that shower.” I had said, laughing to ease her worries but it comes out strained.

“If something happened at school today, I’m always here for you baby. Your dad too.” She says softly.

My lips tremble and I suck it in between my teeth so as to not have her notice. Then when the trembling stopped I answered her pending question. “I’m fine mom, really

She didn’t look pleased or convinced at my response but she didn’t question me further. She left me after that and guilt had swam in my body until now.

I sighed, sat up on the bed and stared at the half closed window. My efforts in trying to sleep are fruitless. There was no point in trying, not when the image of Peter pinning my body is still fresh in my head,

I got off the bed and strode over to the window. Poeling the curtains ppen further i stare at the dark and empty street rest my head on the cold window pane, sighing as the coolness eases my heated flesh.

I wonder what Blake is doing right now, I missed his presence. I move my head from the glass and turn to stare at the clock, it reads ten thirty. I then remember that today Blake had a match. And it probably was going to start soon.

I looked out of the window again and a very risky thought comes to mind. I bite my lip and shake my head. I couldn’t possibly.

I contemplated whether to go with my idea, it was riskyand I was still grounded. But dad was usually so caught up with mom that he wouldn’t hear il someone broke in. All I had to do was be as quiet as possible and not have Arden catching me in the act of sneakine nut.

My eyes scan for the ladder dad usually let resting on the roof. Last time it wasn’t there but thankfully tonight it was it would be much easier to sneak out. I grabbed my hoodie and put it on, not caring that I was dressed in my pajamas

I was really thinking of going to a boxing match in pajamas. I must be really desperate to see Blake, I knew it was because was afraid tonight, I wanted his presence to soothe my fear. The way it always had. And I very much needed that tonight.

I slid on my converse and walked back to the window. I sighed and open it fully. The cool air hits my face and involuntarily shr. I pull myself out of my

window and turned around to close it.

Sucking in my lower lip I walk to the edge of the roof where the ladder was visible. Occasionally I would look back to see if Arden noticed me. But his

window was closed and the curtains blocked anyone from seeing inside.

Mentally chanting to not look down I turned around so I could climb down the ladder. My fingers wrap lightly around the cold metal as

down cautiously. Feeling the earth beneath my shoes finally, let out a relieved breath. I had survived the worst

Now it was time to figure out how I’d exactly get there. The boxing gym was a good ten minutes away on foot. With what happened today, I’d never have the courage to walk alone at this hour. So I quickly came up with an idea.

I could just ride my bike there. It would definitely do the job. But the thing was that I had that bike since was the tender age of six. It was pink and seriously not for a girl my size. One could at least try.

I stride over to where Mimi, my seven year old neighbor leaves it when she is done. She was a sweet kid that tohen let borrow it. No matter how many times I begged her to just keep the too girly thing, her parents refused.

The too pink bike is very clear as the light of the moon shines directly on it. I wince but still grab the bike and push it towards the road. I look back at my house one last time before sitting on the bike and ride to the boxing gym.

I move off the bike and rest it on the stoned wall. There are curious stares from the people around me but don’t acknowledge them, instead walk to the entrance of the gym and I come face to face with a huge chest.

I stumble back shocked as my eyes drag up to see who, I gulped as the black bulky man crosses his arms across his chest. “Ld?” He questions.

Oh crap.
