Chapter 21: What?

Astrid's POV:

I went to my room and got ready with my college uniform. I went out of my house. I didn't know where his house was, so I assumed that I have to go to the college first.

I went to college and saw him standing on the gate.

"Hey, sorry, I didn't tell you my address" he said.

"It's fine" I said.

"Let's go then"

"Hm" I said.

He took me in his car and then to his house.

"Where are your.. Parents?" I asked as I entered the house and found it empty.

"Well they're not at home, they have some business"

"Oh.. Okay" I said.

Well, I was kinda uncomfortable being alone with him in this empty house. I thought his parents were at home at least.

"Well... What will we do now?" I asked.

"Let's—" he was interrupted by my phone.

My phone rang. It was Noah. Lucas saw it.

"Don't pick it up" he said.

"It's fine. I'm not gonna tell him, don't worry"

"Don't pick up!" he said again with a little anger.

"Come on Lue, it's fine" I said and then picked it up.

"Hey Noah" I said.

"Hi. Where are you?"

"Hm well I didn't come to college today. I'm at home"

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah I am. Its fine, don't worry"

"OKAY then. Bye, the teacher is coming"

"Bye" I said.

I cut the call and looked ahead of me. Lucas was staring at me with anger.

"Come on. What's wrong with you now?" I asked.

"I told you not to pick it up"

"And I didn't tell him. Its fine, why are you making such a fuss??"

He suddenly came near me and slapped me hard.

"Lu.. Lucas... How can you... Slap... Me..??" I cried. It was painful. He didn't reply.

"How can you be violent with me!!" I yelled.

"I'll show you what violence is" he said.

"No.. No.. Please!" I said.

"Please Lucas.. I promise I'll never talk to him" I begged.

"No... Let me show you what violence is" he said and dragged me to some room. He locked the door.

"Please open the door Lucas! Please!" I said.

He didn't reply and started coming near me. I went back...back until I got to the wall. I stopped. I didn't have any place to go now.

He slapped me. It hurt like hell.

"You know now what violence is" he said and smirked.

"Why.. Why are you doing this?" I asked.

"It's fun" he said and came more near to me. I started trembling. His face was just some centimeters away. He came closer. As he was about to kiss me, I looked the other way and thus he kissed my neck.

"Lucas!!" I yelled.

"Then don't look away" he said. I looked at him straight. He kept his hands on my neck.

"Please Lucas" I said.

He didn't reply and then kissed me. His kiss was painful. I started crying. I tried to run away, but all in vain. He was not even moving.

I closed my eyes. I couldn't see what was happening.

Just as he stopped kissing me, I tried to run away.

He held my hand tightly. I couldn't move.

"Lucas... Please" I cried.

"How about calling Noah?" He said.

Although, I didn't want to, but that was my only choice or I'm dead.

I called him.

"Hey, Astrid, are you okay?" he asked me before I could speak anything.

"Noah... Please save me.. Please.." I said.

"Astrid! Where are you??" he asked.

"At... At Lucas's House.." I said and the call was cut. Cut because he snatched the phone.

"That's enough" he said. I tried to run again, but he took my hand with such a force that I fell on the bed. He came over me. His arms were on both of my side and his face just some centimeters away.

"Lucas.. I really loved you... Why did you do this?" I asked crying. I really wanted to know the reason.

He came closer. I closed my eyes in fear. He whispered something.

"Here's a secret. I never ever loved you" he said.

Just as I heard it, before I could even process what he said, I felt sudden pain. And then I fell unconscious.
