no! I shouldn’t stay here in the car, I have to go out. If the teacher thinks that he has won my heart, then he is wrong. He won’t change my mind just because he showed how nice he is, because he’s still mean to me. he seems to have forgotten that how he killed our adviser, the police should know.
I pressed the buttons again to open the car door, I was thankful because it was unlocked again.
“Su… mmer?” I heard a man’s voice call from the back when I got out of the car. I turned around and saw Ryan raising his eyebrows at me as he looked at me from head to toe. He can’t get me. He might report to the teacher.
“Why?” I asked him and backed away a little so that if he pulls me, I have a chance to get away from him immediately.
“Where are you going?” he asked
“You’re not there anymore.” I answered then marched away but he pulled my arm. F’ck! Why are people like this today? I just want to leave here. Why does it seem like other people are blocking what I want?
“Ryan, what?!” I said as I put his hand on my arm. If the teacher sees me here, he might let me inside and my plan that I’ve been wanting to do for a long time won’t go ahead.
“Are you trying to escape from Lucas?” he asked in shock as if he couldn’t believe what I was going to do. I have no reason to stay here at the teacher’s house. I will only be hurt. Physical and emotional.
“But I thought… You love him? Is it because the girl inside his house?” he said referring to Ms. Cherry. Expensive? I don’t love the teacher, where did he get that word? I didn’t say anything like that.
“I don’t love him, okay?” I answered that he raised his eyebrows. I’m telling the truth.
“But he said you love each other?” he said so I was shocked. Why does he insist that I love the teacher?
“He’s the only one who said it, not me. Is it okay? Don’t bother me with what I want to do. I don’t love him. I’m his student and he’s my teacher, that’s all.” I answered with an explanation. Urgh! If our Ryan wasn’t here, I would have left the teacher’s house a long time ago.
“Oh, do you want me to help you? Im more than willing” he said so I raised my eyebrows. Huh? will he help me? When he did that, he was definitely dead to the teacher. I know he will report me, maybe he won’t really help me.
“How can you help me?” I asked him. He was obviously thinking about what to answer me. How is Ryan? How can you help me? maybe when the teacher finds out, what will you do?
“Hmm… I’ll take you to the place you want. Don’t worry, I know how to keep a secret.” because he answered that, I felt relieved. I should trust him. He is the only person I can trust right now.
“I want to go home to our house so take me there” I said and he nodded. I’m not sure if it’s safe at home because the teacher managed to get me from my room, but mom and brother were there. I know they won’t let me down.
“Let’s go. I’ll get my car. I can’t use his car, maybe he’ll follow me when he finds out you’re missing.” he explained so I just nodded. Does that mean he has a car but the teacher doesn’t know about it? So the car he’s using belongs to the teacher?
“Hop in” he said when he got into the car. I didn’t even bother to open the door. I’m content now because I know I’ll see mom and brother.
I will see them.
“I’m just here, maybe someone will see you.” I said then removed the seatbelt. we were outside the subdivision and stopped so that my brother wouldn’t see him. I can walk.
“Ryan. Thank you.” I said then got out of his car, I didn’t wait for his answer and went straight inside the subdivision. This is it. that excites me every time I think about seeing them.
*SINGLE! DONG!*
“Mom?! I’m Summer!” I shouted and kept ringing the doorbell. Why don’t they seem to have a mother here? Maybe they didn’t move house, right? I don’t know where to find them.
“MOM! BROTHER! OPEN THE GATE—-!” I shouted loudly but it was cut off when mom came out of the house. Her reaction was shocked when she saw me at the gate. Our gate looks like it’s just grills so I can see you. I see you outside.
“JUSKO! YURI! It’s Summer!” Mama shouted when she opened the gate for me. That I miss mom so much, even though she often pinches me, I still love her.
“Mama…” I cried while hugging her. My mouth is itching to tell mom about what happened to me, but not out here. maybe someone will pass by and hear what we are talking about.
“Let’s go in first” said mom so I followed. I have to ask my brother what connection he has with the teacher, why do they seem to know each other? I know that my brother is not telling me something, but I should know that so that I am aware of what is happening. I don’t want to be clueless all the time.
“Summer? Where are you from?” my brother asked when mom and I entered the house. I approached him and hugged him tightly before releasing the tears that wanted to escape from my eyes.
“K-brother… The teacher hurt me over and over again, a-I don’t want it anymore! He’s hurting me! Then he said, if I report it, you’ll feel sorry for me! He has a b-gun brother! He killed our adviser in front of me!” I cried and reported to my brother who was also hugging me. I don’t even know if I did the right thing in telling what happened. I feel so guilty every time I remember it. how the teacher shot our adviser. I’m afraid that the teacher might know that I said about that. My friends will sympathize with my mother and brother.
“What? Your teacher was hurting you? What hurt was done to you?” he asked but I just cried.
“Summer? Which teacher is hurting you? why is he hurting you? Summer, answer me. We’re going to sue him,” mom asked me. I kept shaking because I didn’t want to tell and answer mom. My brother knew who it was, but I didn’t want him to answer mom.
“Summer?” my brother called me and he slightly lifted my head and gently wiped my cheek.
“S-he kicked me t-then he hit me with an interior w-wire on the body repeatedly t-then…. T-then… H-he touched me on the l-legs… T -then…”
then he sucked my blood again and again.
I didn’t know that I would cry now when I say what the teacher did to me. It’s disgusting that he touched me. I’m upset because I just let him. Is this really the life that is destined for me? It’s awful. I would rather commit suicide than experience that again and again.
“Summer, what’s the name of the person hurting you? Tell mom, huh? So I know who we’re going to file a case against.” mom said to me but I just kept crying.
“I-I don’t want to go back there, maybe he’ll take me back! I don’t want to! He’ll hurt me again when he finds out I told you that!” I feel like a broken plaque every time I say the word ‘I DON’T’.
“A-ah… Ouch” I held my head when I felt the pain. I’m thirsty like no other. It’s debilitating. I feel like I’m going to lose my breath.
“Summer? What hurts you?” mom asked me. My brother immediately ran to the kitchen to get water but I couldn’t seem to take it anymore. I’m dizzy.
“Summer!”
Lucas’ P. O. V.
“Honey, what are you thinking?” cherry ask. I shook my head and kissed her lips.
“Nothing” we continued kissing but suddenly, I stopped when someone knocked at the door. Was it, summer? But why would she knock if she knows that Cherry is still here?
“Hey, Where are you going? Don’t open the door. Let’s just continue this. Okay? maybe it’s just one of your maids” she said but i slightly push her when she is about to unbutton my polo. Im not in the mood to do it with her.
“What is your problem, Dane?”
“Get out, Cherry.” I said calmly. I don’t really expect her here in my house. Summer is in the car. she is waiting for me, i know.
“Fine! Whatever!” she rolled her eyes. I don’t really care about her,
