《Why Didn't He Let Me Die? || COMPLETED STORY》A good slap by a ball
Advertisement
Waking up from a terrible dream - or so I thought.
I remembered I was about to jump off, about to end my life because of all the crap that's been going on but something weird happened; a person stopped me from doing so. And that someone...was Cato. Can you actually believe that?
For all I know, he wants nothing to do with me. Everytime he looks at me, it seems as if I'm carrying an incurable disease.
I slowly opened my eyes to find an arm wrapped around my waist securely. My heart started pounding in my chest like a creature trying to get out of a cage.
My vision wasn't helping to say the least. It had gotten quite blurry so I blinked it away to get it back to normal. This unknown person looked oddly familiar for some reason.
His face was covered with his free arm so I slowly lowered it down to see his face. I was in utter shock.
This can't be happening right now. This can't be the person who saved my life.
I dug deep in my brain, looking for answers. But all these still seems unclear to me. I must have been staring at him for probably long enough to say,
"You know, checking out someone while they're sleeping is bad?" He said, with his signature smirk.
I snapped back to reality, realizing what an idiot I actually was staring at someone while they were asleep. But NO, I was not checking him out. Okay, I know he's good looking and all but I wasn't checking him out at all.
I rolled my eyes from his arrogant ass trying to flirt but I felt my cheeks heat up and I buried my face on the fluffy pillow. Why am I blushing?! Blushing from embarrassment - my brain answered back. Duh.
"Don't hide your face. It's adorable. You look like a tomato." He said as he took the pillow away, revealing my, like he said, tomato face.
"And you look like an ass." I replied, rolling my eyes again. Alright, maybe that was too mean?
"Well, that's something new. I was expecting more on the lines of, thank you for saving my life." He said in amusement while raising his eyebrow.
"I didn't ask you to..." I whispered, feeling like shit again after realizing what had happened the other night. I'm such a failure. Can't even get anything right!
He was silent but his eyes were scanning my face, as if studying it or something. Silence fell upon us as he continued staring but I shifted my eyes to the pretty flower on top of my desk.
Breaking the silence he said, "Uh hey, you were shivering like crazy last night and had a really high fever so I hope you don't mind when I cuddled you."
"After that incident last night, you fainted. I didn't know where you lived so I decided to bring you home instead...oh and um, I prepared some breakfast for us. I'll see you downstairs." With that he hopped off the bed and left to prepare our food.

What the hell did he eat that made him nice to me? This isn't the Cato I know. I actually feel guilty for acting like an idiot towards after what he had done for me yesterday night.
Who the hell knew, this guy, my bully, actually had a soft side in him? I didn't.
Before I went down, I decided to take a shower and realized I had no new clothes with me which sucked so badly. Walking in the bathroom, someone lightly knocked on the door. There he was, standing in front of the door with fresh clothes on his hands. "These were my Mom's. Use it for now." And left. Aw, sweet.
After preparing, I skipped down the stairs and saw Cato already seated while using his phone. A cute little girl was seated beside him as well and looked just like him.
"Hey." I greeted to grab his attention.
As he saw me, he put his phone down and smiled, "Hey, food's ready. Come sit." So I did. Never knew he had a cute ass smile.
"Who is this cutie?" I asked, pointing at the adorable little girl who was staring at me in confusion.
"Oh, uh sorry. My bad. This is my little sister, René."
"You have such a pretty name. Nice to meet you." I said, shaking her little hands. She just gave me a toothy grin and started eating her delicious breakfast.
"You guys are so cute." Complimented Cato.
Did he, Cato Riley, just call me, Arisela Andersawn a cutie? Wow, Unbelievable... how could this day become any weirder?
After we ate, we placed the plates in the dishwasher as we were already late for school. On my way back to the hell hole.

(At School)
To be honest, I wanted to walk to school because I didn't want to be seen with the school's bad boy who is known to hate the living hell out of me.
Cato insisted I ride with him to school but he kept on insisting so I agreed with only one condition. I go down and run away from him.
As we arrived, Cato went out of his far and opened the far for me like a gentleman.
"Thanks," I muttered.
He just gave me a nod and smiled.
"Thanks for the ride. Bye." I mumbled, going the opposite direction. But was stopped by a hand on my arm, stopping me.
I gave him a confused look and asked, "um...yes?"
"Why are you going that way when you can go this way?" He asked, just as confused as I was. It was pretty cute. Snap out of it, Ari!
"Because people are looking and we wouldn't want your reputation getting ruined. You are known as one of the baddest guys here in school. No one wants to see their King walking with trash." I quickly and dully explained.
He somehow had a guilty look on his face and responded, "Screw reputation. I really don't care. What I hate, they hate. What I like, they like. So you really don't have to worry about that honestly. With the things that's been happening, yes, we ARE friends now."

Before I could say another word, he pulled my hand and dragged me all the way to school.
"Oh my gosh, Why are they holding hands?!"
"That b-tch!"
"Sl-t!"
All of the girls started complaining as soon as we stepped foot in our school's hallway. See, this is what I've been trying to avoid.
"Just ignore them." Cato whispered, sending a shiver down my spine.
"Okay..." I replied, looking down and just following his lead.
"So hey, I need to go to my class, which is in 5 minutes. See you later in gym class?"
"Sure, take care. Don't trip while walking." I replied jokingly as he started walking away.
He chuckled and threw me a wink, "you too, Ari."
Did he just wink? Okay...
After two classes, I was done for the day. Only thing left for today was gym class. All I could say was, girls were giving me real nasty looks - nothing new but it had just gotten worse which actually scares the hell out of me with what consequences I have in store.
I headed over to the lockers and grabbed my gym shorts and gym shirt, which had number 16 on of mg last name, 'Andersawn' written across it.
Today we were playing dodgeball which sadly, Chanelle and her minions are going to be there too. Not looking forward to it AT ALL.
Cato doesn't play dodgeball, he only plays basketball, football, joins the swimming team, track team and all those other stuffs. He was very athletic which was something I lack quite a bit. Let's just say I'm not as talented as he was.
"Andersawn! Your team is over there." Our gym teacher pointed to the group of people at the other side of the gym.
I scanned the gym room and saw Chanelle with her little barbies in the team we were going to play against with. Wow, could my day get any worst?! This girl was great with dodgeball and I had to prepare for the crap that was about to go down.
After doing warm ups, I spotted Cato with his teammates who were warming up as well. Cato's eyes landed on me and he gave me a smile that showed his dimples.
"Okay, enough nonsense. Game starts now!" Coach yelled and blowed his whistle.
I've played dodgeball before - but not this kind and I know for a fact, my ass will be kicked so bad.
Oh god, please save me.
I snapped back to reality and saw Chanelle ready to throw a ball at me but I blocked it and it hit her hard in the leg. I couldn't help but chuckled as she let out a short squeal.
Hm, serves her riiiiight!
She glared at me looking like the little devil that she was. Her and her little barbies stomped their way to me just in time the first game ended.
"You dare hit me with that ball?! You did it in purpose, didn't you!" She threw a tantrum and dived in to pull my hair and let me tell you, it hurt like HELL.
Tears were threatening to fall as the pain started to seep from within me. "Get your filthy hands of me, you b-tch!" I screamed, trying to fight back whilst trying to slap her hands away real hard.
She scoffed, probably the fact that I was fighting back for the first time. Realizing she was losing, she punched me right in the stomach so hard that I think I was about to cough out blood. This time my tears were flowing down my cheeks at the pain I was going through.
"Now you're fighting back, huh? Who do you think you are?!" She yelled and gave me a b-tch slap.
I closed my eyes, feeling weak from the pain that refrained me from protecting myself.
"Chanelle, what the hell! Get off her!" A voice at the background shouted as urgent footsteps approached us.
With that, Chanelle was pulled away from me and another person pulled me away from her. I looked up, Cato was restraining Chanelle and boy, he was beyond furious. I turned around and saw a guy, probably his teammate, protecting me from her while Cato was dealing with her.
"Dare touch her again and I swear you will wish that you were never alive." He coldly and surely said.
"What is the meaning of this?! You're actually defending this little piece of trash over me? What happened to hating the hell out of her?!" She screamed.
"Whatever we had, it's over. Now get out of my sight before I do something you and I both will regret." Clenching his fists, probably trying to calm himself down.
"Oh and before I forget, I only hated her because of your lying, jealous ass." He said one last time.
His gaze turned back to me with the softest look ever. He walked over to me, picking me up slowly.
"You okay, Ari? god, look at you." He sighed. His jaw kept clenching and unclenching because of the anger inside him.
I nodded and drifted off to wonderland.
