Finding My Heart(Under Editing)

Chapter 21 | The Human Pilllow

"Braxton! Get back here!" I heard his mother scream. She was about to get up but I assured her that I would deal with it. What is wrong with this guy now?

I followed him out front, forgetting to even put a coat on. I rubbed my arms to try to warm up. I hurried through the icy sidewalk. The wind was not working in my favor.

Why is this guy always causing issues with everything in my life. I caught up to him and turned him around forcefully. I was about to open my mouth to speak when I saw his hand speeding close to me. I wasn't fast enough to stop him and he slapped me across my face. I slipped on the ice and fell on my back, the wind getting knocked out of me. I struggled to get up because of the impact that I made with the ice.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I spoke out boldly. He tried to punch me again but I stopped his hand before it made impact with my face. "I have tried, I have tried so damn hard to be nice. I have tried to forgive you for the awful things that you've done to me. I won't deal with it any more. I'm breaking up with you. I hope that you become better as a person but I wouldn't count on it." Wow me, I really broke up with him.

He just laughed at that statement. "Have fun trying to break up with me. In the end game, it won't work. Watch out for your family and friends. Bitch." He took a small gun out of his pocket and put it up to my chest. "Tell me that you're gonna break up with me again, I dare you." I was frozen in place. "That's what I thought." He put the gun back on safety and shoved it into his pocket. I heard footsteps faintly run behind me. I turned my head and saw Liam there. He stopped once he got near me and glared at Braxton.

Liam walked up to me and I was about to explain but he just wrapped his arms around me. I returned the hug and buried my head into his chest. He guided me to behind him and spoke up. "You will stay away from Ada or else I swear. Jeremiah and I will beat you so hard that you won't be able to speak."

"Then let the games begin." Braxton said smugly. Liam flipped the bird before turning around to me. He looked down at me and asked, "Is, is everything okay? Did he touch you? Did he hurt you?" He put his hands on my shoulders.

"I'll survive." I gave him a half smile. "Where's Jeremiah?" I questioned.

"He's back at the house, I told him to stay with Samantha while I checked on you. Wait. Where is your coat? Your shoes?" I looked down and realized that I only had my fuzzy socks on.

"Oops?" We both chuckled. He bent down and looked at me. "What do you want me to do?" I raised an eyebrow and it hit me. "Ooohhhhhhh." I hopped on his back and he walked me back to the house, being careful with the icy sidewalks. I wrapped my arms around his neck and rested my head on his shoulder.

"I think that the cold is getting to your head." I wacked him in the back of his head. "Hey, what was that for Adi Ladi."

"Nothing." I tried to say as innocently as possible. We continued to walk to my house and it started to snow. "Finally, I got a Christmas snow!" I smiled and looked up.

"You mean, we got a Christmas snow." He turned his head to the side and glanced at me. Once he saw that I was smiling, he smiled too. We got back to the house after five minutes and he let me get down once we entered my home. We walked back to the dining room and Braxton's mom wasn't there.

"Braxton's mom left to go find him, in case you were wondering," my mom said. I nodded and sat back down to finish my food. Everyone else was onto eating the pumpkin pie and the sweet potatoes that had marshmallows on top.

"Uh, excuse me Ms.Smhit, do you happen to know where any blankets are?" Liam asked nervously. He looked down and scratched his neck.

"I'll get you a couple, and please, I've known you since you were a baby, it's just Kim. And loosen up by the way. " He just gave a small smile and nodded. She returned with a blanket and gave it to Liam. Liam unfolded the blanket and put it over my head and started laughing. I removed the blanket and caught Jeremiah giving Liam a death glare. If looks could kill, Liam would be at the bottom of the ocean by now.
