Alexandrea's P.O.V

"You!"

"You just bumped into me and all you can do is glare instead of apologizing" I said annoyed.

"It's not my fault you were busy day dreaming on the walkway" he said back glaring at me.

Okay, he's really getting on my nerves.

"Jerk" I muttered before stomping off and him going the other way.

God! he's such a...ugh

I groaned as I continued walking and stopped by the road side to get a cab. A car stopped by me and the tinted window rolled down.

"Hey hottie. Need a ride?" A man probably in his early twenties said while checking me out.

"No thank you" I eyed him suspiciously walking further but then he started following me.

"C'mon sexy get in. Let me show you a good time." He said again licking his lips. The way he was looking at me reminded me of my father.

"No dad please don't hit her, hit me instead" I pleaded as my dad was about to hit my mom. His eyes were blood shot and he stopped considering my offer.

He grabbed me by my hair and pulled me upstairs as my mom kept in crying and begging him to leave me. He dragged me up the and into my room. He flung me on the bed and locked the door leaving my mom hitting the door. Then what he did next changed everything.

"Strip bitch" his ruthless voice made me shiver in disgust.

"What?" I asked not sure if I heard his right. He struck me across the face with a slap confirming what he asked my to do. Tears rolled down my face as I slowly took off my clothing. I reminded myself that I was doing this for my mom. So he would stop hitting her. He unbuckled his belt and-

"Babe, I'm talking- are you crying? Shit!" the man panicked before speeding off. I stood rooted to my spot. The rain calmed down a little as another car pulled in front of me. Though it was silver with black tinted windows.

"Get in" Nicholas said without looking at me.

"No!" I croaked out. His head snapped towards me about to say something but his eyes softened as he saw me.

"Uhh are you okay?" He asked awkwardly.

"I'm not getting in" I ignored his question. He didn't bother asking me again probably understanding that I didn't want to talk about it.

He sighed then got out of his car heading towards me.

"What are you doing?" I asked backing away slowly. He didn't reply but threw me over his back and started walking back to his car.

"Hey! Put me down you asshole" I said trying to avoid looking at his butt and hitting him s back continuously.

"God! You're soaked!" He muttered referring to my over sized sweater.
It was practically dripping water.

"And you're a dick" I said hitting his back severally.

"You know that hurts right?" He groaned as I bit his back.

Yep. I bit him.

"It was meant to" I said as he dropped me in the front seat and locked the door walking over to the driver seat before entering then locking it back.

"You're going to get my car wet" he said looking at me.

"Well I didn't force you to put me in your car" I pouted. He took a dry grey hoodie from the backseat and handed it to me as I stared at it.

"Wear it and remove your sweater" he said.

"Thank you" i muttered collecting the sweater. I waited for him to get out of the car or something but he just sat there looking at me.

"Duuuude, get out" I said raising my eyebrow at him.

"Oh" he said as his cheeks turned a little pink and got out of the car. He walked over to the back and leaned against it. After I made sure e he wasn't looking, I removed my soaked sweater dropping it on the car's carpet and put on the grey sweater over my wet sports bra. The smell of wood enveloped me as inhaled it deeply. I knocked on the window and he came back in. My jeans were wet as well but my sweater was worse. Thank God I left my phone in Bex's car.

"It's big but I'll manage it" I said playing with the hem.

"Kay. Where do you live?" He asked facing the road. I described the route to him and he nodded. The car ride was silent but me being me, I turned in the radio and Grenade by Bruno Mars started playing. I grinned and started singing while he just nodded his head to the song.

"I will go through all this paiiiiinn. Take a bullet straight through my braaaaaiin. Yes I would die for you baby but you won't do the same!" I yelled singing and using my hand as a mic.

"I think I'm gonna go deaf" Nicholas groaned as he drove.

"Gave you all I had and you tossed in the trash, tossed in the trash you diii-achew" I sneezed while singing.

"That's what happens when you daydream in the rain" he said while glancing a me an turning on the heater.

" I wasn't-achew" I sneezed again unable to complete my sentence.

"You were saying" he mocked.

"Jerk" I hit his arm lightly as he chuckled.

Nicholas chuckled. Wow.

"Here we are" he said as he pulled up in my driveway and I practically jumped out of the car holding my soaked sweater.

"Final-achew" I sneezed. I groaned and rubbed my nose that's probably red by now. Nicholas raised his eyebrows at this and started to drive off.

"Hey! Wait up!" I yelled following his car. He stopped a few distance away and poked his head outside the window. I ran up to his car and put my hands on my knees panting a little.

I really needed exercise.

"Thanks for the -achew" I said but sneezed again.

"You're not welcome because I don't remember giving you an achew" he smirked before driving away.

Here I was thinking he is becoming nice.

I walked back to my house and opened the door to meet my mom standing in front of me with a teasing smile on her face.

"Uhh..hello?" I waved wondering why she was like that.

"When am I meeting your boyfriend?"

"Huh?" I asked confused.

"Your boyfriend. The guy who dropped you off" she said folding her arms and i started laughing.

"You mean Nicho-achew" I sneezed.

"And why were you laughing?" She raised her eyebrow.

"Because never in a million years would I date Nicholas. Like never ever" I said before walking to the kitchen to make myself hot chocolate.

"Okay then. Is that why you're wearing his hoodie?" She said following me.

"Mom!I just borrowed it. I'm returning it tomorrow or Monday" I said rolling my eyes playfully. I took my hot chocolate and headed upstairs.

"By the way, how did you get cold?I thought you went out with Bex?" She yelled from downstairs

"I was daydreaming in the rain" I yelled back using Nicholas's words because I was too lazy to explain. I dropped my mug of hot chocolate on the bedside table before stripping. I took a quick shower and cuddled up on my bed in sweats and Nicholas's hoodie. My mug of hot chocolate on one hand and a fictional novel on the other.

Okaaay maybe Nicholas isn't that bad.

I inhaled the woody scent of the hoodie and took a sip from my mug.

God!! I loved this smell. Maybe I could ask what he is using but then he might think am crazy and ignore me or give a cocky comeback.

I sighed and finished the hot chocolate. I dropped the mug on my desk and buried myself in the covers. I thought if what happened earlier today. The flashback of my father. The first time it actually started. I chuckled at the face the man made when he saw me crying.

I was feeling sleepy already but I put only one thing in mind.

The different ways I'm going to kill Bex for ditching me, letting me have a cold, letting a stranger harass me, letting Nicholas force me into his car but most importantly breaking the Chicks Before Dicks rule.

Oh she's so dead.
