《DDLG Academy: Double Life》Chapter 24

"I don't love...I never loved you. Hell, you're a game to me," He said laughing. "You'll always be a game to me, and I know you'll always come crawling back to me even when we're miles apart Carmen," My eyes are glassy with tears but, I won't let them fall. I won't cry for this man. He doesn't deserve my tears. He never did.

He steps closer to me. With each step he takes, I take one back. "Please just leave me alone..." My voice is a bit shaky but I try to keep it strong. "No one will love you and you know that," He smiles at me wickedly. "Everyone who says they love you...they're lying. Lying straight to your face darling,". I look down...is he telling the truth? Is he lying to me...or is everything he said true?

"YOU'RE LYING! YOU'RE LYING LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO!" I yell loudly back at the man. He smiles at me. He steps close enough to force me to look up at him. He holds my face tight enough to leave a mark. "I'm I? If I was then tell me why did you're sister leave? Why does she resent you," Finally with that sentence it broke me?

I let my tears fall. They were uncontrollable, they kept on coming out like a river. I fell to my knees in shambles. Maybe he is right...

I shockingly wake up. I sit up in my bed quickly taking in deep breaths in and out. It was just a dream...

"Calm down Carmen you're good, it was a dream. He isn't here, he can't hurt you anymore," I whisper to myself. My alarm clock is still ringing. I grab my phone and turn it off. I look at the time to see it's 6:30 AM. I look to the left side of me to see Zane isn't in my bed.

Weird...he normally comes to my dorm. Maybe he got too drunk at the party and just went back to his dorm. Maybe that's why he isn't here right now either, if he doesn't sleep in my dorm he normally comes around 6:00 AM to wake me up and get me ready for school. Whatever I have to get ready for school and get to breakfast.

I slip out of bed swiftly and go over to my drawer. I grab my school uniform then head to the bathroom. I take a quick shower and brush my teeth. Putting on my uniform I look myself in the mirror. I fix my hair and make sure I look presentable.

I go back to my bedroom and make my bed. I make sure it's well made putting my pillows how they're supposed to go and make sure the sheets look straight. Seeing as I won't be sleeping on this bed for two days might as well make it look nice for when I come back from Streaming con.

I get a text on my phone from Liam,

Liam: Good morning loser, I'll pick you up around 5:00 PM? So we can be at your parent's house around 8:00 PM? I checked it's a three-hour drive. :P

Carmen: Yeah sure sounds good, I'll pack after school. And I still have to tell Zane I won't be able to go with them. I feel bad though :(

Liam: Why do you feel bad?

Carmen: Because he bought me a backstage ticket for the meet and greet..and we both know how expensive those types of tickets are.

Liam: Oh...that sucks. Maybe try to give him money?

Carmen: He won't accept it.

Liam: Then just let it be love.

Carmen: Alright I guess, anyway I'll see you in a couple of hours I need to get to breakfast.

Liam: See you.

I put my phone in my skirt pocket then grab my bag. Then head for the door. I open then close the door behind me. I lock it then go to the dining hall. By the time I leave the dormitories, it's barely 6:55. I'm making good time. At this rate I'm going, I could get the good stuff at breakfast.

I finally get to the dining hall and enter it. When I go in I don't see anyone I know. The table we normally sit at is empty. All the doms probably got drunk or something at the party. I go over and grab my tray and get breakfast. I get chocolate chip pancakes (which Zane doesn't let me get, but he's not here right now,), strawberries, Apple juice, and bacon. I go over to sit at the table alone.

Five minutes pass and no one is here yet. The dining hall is getting full, but they haven't shown up. I begin to eat my breakfast, most tables are filled up with people already. I move my strawberries a bit on my plate with my fork a bit then eat them.

By the time I'm done eating it was already 7:40 AM. Breakfast was almost about to end in 20 minutes. I sigh a bit getting bored so I grab my bag and empty tray. I go and put my tray in the dirty tray area. I exit the dining hall and sit on a bench underneath a tree.

I sit crisscrossed and the sun is shining. I go on my phone and look at my Twitter feed. I see a lot of people are twitting on how they're excited to go to streaming con to see me or meet me at the meet and greet.

I quickly twit, "Tomorrow I'll meet all of you guys! I'm so hyped up, Can't wait to see all my friends who will also be attending!" And tag Liam, Rosie, Nick, Natalie, and Jayson. I look at the time and see it's 7:50 AM. I got ten minutes to waste before my first class of the day so I get off the bench and just walk around the school.

I walk around for about 5 minutes before I see Zane. I get a smile on my face when I see him. As he walks he is fixing up the tie on his school uniform. I run towards him excited to see him. "ZANE!" I say loudly enough for him to hear me. When I yell that his eyes widen and he jumps a bit as if he were shocked to see me.

"Oh hey Carmen," He says kind of awkwardly. Why was he acting like this towards? Now as I think of it he's not heading towards the little dormitories...maybe he just went there but realized I wasn't there. Yup, that's it nothing more could have happened. Hmm...maybe my suspicions were right, he probably just got wasted at the party and is all hungover now.

I look over his face studying how he looks. He has a bruised eye and a busted lip. How did he get those? I reach my hand a bit to touch a cheek, but when I touch it he winces. "What happened? Why are you all bruised up?" I ask cautiously towards him. I'm actually quite worried about him.

He shakes his head a bit, "Nothing, you don't have to worry about. I'm fine,". His voice of tone sounded a bit irritated. I nod my head at him softly then speak up again.

"I have to talk to you about something actually," I tell him bitting the inside of my mouth. He looks at me, "Yeah what is it? You can tell me anything! You know I wouldn't judge at all...I wouldn't ever hurt you...and uh yeah...heh," His face looks kinda worried. He seems a bit jumpy look. Uh okay...not weird at all? He just randomly went from irritated to worry?

"I just wanted to tell you I can't go to the Streaming con with you guys...some family issues came up so I'm going to have to go back home for the weekend," I say. He lefts out a sigh...I'm not sure if that was a sigh of relief or sad?

"I can drive you if you want," His voice sounds a bit shaky and awkward at the same time. I shack my head no at him, "No it's fine but thank you, Liam is actually going to take me,"

"Oh..." Is all he can say. He goes to open his mouth again to say something but then the School bell rings. Zane starts to walk towards my class building but he doesn't offer me his hand like aways. I follow him at his side.

When we get to my class he just simply tells me to have a good day then leaves. I scrunch my forehead a bit confused. He never leaves without giving me a kiss on the forehead, even when he's mad at me.

Did I do something wrong...?
