Chapter 4

Levena's pov:

I looked out my window at the tall oak tree and sighed, two birds perched on a branch singing in the morning breeze. They were free and happy as can be. I, on the other hand was in a dilemma, how was I going to tell my family that I wanted to go on a date? How was it even possible?

I shower and brush my teeth, dressing for school, I descend the wooden stairs. My father is seated in the living room discussing something with my mother and my brother is playing video games opposite from them. "fuck!" he bursts out.

My parents ignore him and continue, if that was me, I would have been slapped already. "Mom, Dad, I have something to say to you" I blurt out gaining everyone's attention. "Ok, speak quickly" they say in unison, exchanging worried looks. "I-I -I" I say stuttering.

"What is it!?" my mother shouts. "I want- I want to go on a date", I say closing my eyes, waiting for something, anything? Nothing. I open my eyes; awkward silence fills the room. "No" my brother, Sebastian says. I look into his eyes; my eyes begin to water.

"I hate this house" I whisper. "What did you just say?" my father bellows. "I HATE THIS PLACE; I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!!!!!!" I screamed, "why, why can't I have a little ounce of freedom, even if only for one day?" I look at them tears forming.

"Levena!" my mother shot out of her chair. "You should be ashamed of yourself for talking to us like that!" my mother bellowed, while my father sat there, anger flashing on his face. I stormed out of the house.

Rage built for years was seeping through my pores, I screamed "ahhhhhhhh!" crying outside the door. I wipe my tears quickly, pulling myself together, I walk to school.

I wait for Kayden quietly, but he still does not come, the bell goes, and he is still not at school. "I'm worried Jeriah, what if something happened to him?" I say nervously 'Don't worry maybe he is sick" she says. I sigh.

Just as I look up, he comes in, his wrist in a cast, and a dirty scowl on his face as if he had lost something. "Kayden, what happened to your wrist?" I asked. "Nothing, I fell" he said coldly, he sat in his seat quietly. Pulling out his phone he takes a picture and lays his head down fast asleep. I sigh, Did I do something wrong?

Break soon comes and I am sitting with Collins, my male best friend. He and Jayden are the most immature boys I have ever met. "yo mama so fat she took a picture and its still printing" Jayden blurts. "ok, ok yo mama so dumb she went to the library to look for Facebook" shoots Collins. "Guys, can u stop?"

I ask, pulling on Collins arm. "yo mama- ouch, what was that for?" Collins asks me as I attempt to rip his ear off the side of his head. Just then an angry Kayden walks in and pushes Collins away from me, "Kayden!" I shout he pulls me by the arm and escorts me out "what the-?" I hear a confused Collins on the floor.

Kayden slams me against the wall outside, hard, "you're mine, you got that?" "Kayden relax Collins ju-" I tried but he turns me over, "what did I just say?" he says slapping me on the ass, "I'm yours" I repeat "good now say it again baby girl", he says harshly, "I'm yours Kayden" "good" he says.

"Kayden wait, what are we?" I ask, " you're my woman and no one else's, got that?" "y-yes" I say. "Yes who?" he says in a commanding tone "yes baby" I say nervously. He nods and walks away.

Wow, I never thought he was the possessive and controlling type. Class resumes for the day and I am already tired sigh. As I am sitting in my sit I turn to look back at Kayden and see him on his phone, I turn. "psst" I swing my head back around to see his eyes on me.

My hair was in two buns, and I had light makeup on. "Yes baby?" I say "come here" he says, beckoning me over with a finger. I walk up to him standing in front of him, "closer" he says opening his legs, I move a little, he pulls me in and sits me on his lap, "she's my woman" he says to the class, "any of you lay a hand on her you have to deal with me" he says harshly.

My face turns a bright shade of red as the entire class is looking at me, all with mixed feelings. I get up but he pulls me back, putting his nose into the crook of my neck he inhales "stay" he whispers, "you smell so good baby."

"Um, really?" my breath catches in my throat as a shiver runs down my spine. "yeah" he says, he travels lower to my breasts resting his head there. A sound of satisfaction comes from him, and I relax in his arms.

School was out for the day and after saying my goodbyes to Kayden I left the school and began telling my friends that I was no longer single eekkk I screamed in my head. Just then Kayden came, driving at an accelerating speed, he had a black and red bike.

He turned his head towards me and got distracted for just a second, waving at me with a smirk on his face.... suddenly a bus came out of nowhere slamming into him, it drove away as the driver realized what had happened. "Kayden!?" I screamed.

there he was...lying lifeless on the ground...I rushed towards him cradling him in my arms tears in my eyes. "Call an ambulance!" I screamed, "help!" Jeriah called for the ambulance, and it felt like forever for them to arrive on scene. "ASSHOLES" I shouted as they arrived.

They rushed him to the hospital, and I waited silently in the waiting room for news, my parents arrived to take me home, but I refused to leave until I saw him. His parents arrived and a chill ran down my spine.

There were two guards standing emotionless outside his door. His father's face was twisted into a sour frown and his mother cried bitterly, soon the atmosphere was so awkward. what happened the man asked me his voice cold and harsh.

"t-t-t-the bus I-it just c-came out of n-nowhere, it's my fault I'm so sorry" I cried, the man sighed in sadness "it's not your fault he placed a hand on my shoulder "my son he- he's a strong boy he will be fine" he said sitting down in silent wait.

The doctor came out, a look of worry on his face, he looked like he'd seen a ghost. "How is he?" asks Kayden's mother hopefully. "He got damaged pretty bad, a concussion, minor injuries to the abdomen, a broken leg and 4 broken ribs."

"Doctor is he in a lot of pain?" asks Kayden father "uhh for now no but when he wakes up, he will" says the doctor "when he wakes up?" I ask confused "oh uh, he's in a coma right now he responds, "omg will he wake up soon?" I ask nervously.

"Uh it might take months, days even years, I can't say for sure, anyways I have other patients to attend to please excuse me."

I sigh as I leave the hospital maybe if he hadn't gotten together with me, he would be fine right now, maybe if I hadn't distracted him, he would be safe. what if he dies? sadness burned my heart at the thought no, no way I should think positively.

What's going to happen to him, will he die? Will he wake up?
