UNwanted

Chapter 10:T.G.I.F. Part 2

"Belle where are you bringing me?And why was I forced to dress like this?" I ask gesturing to my beautiful dress. It was an amazing blue extravagant it was, but it was more of my generation due to its length instead of some old lady dress. She had put a blind fold on me and everything and let's just say I didn't trust her with my life. She may be my best friend but when it comes to losing one your senses even if temporarily, you'd be annoyed with the person that caused it. The culprit would be none other than the Belle Thorne, if anything were to happen to me.
" We're almost there. Just about a few more feet and we'll be able to get inside." You have got to be kidding me we have been walking for blocks I think to myself. At least I think it was blocks, I don't know I'm blind at the moment of right now. At least my feet feel tired."We're here!" She says taking the blind fold off of me.
I stand there in silence letting my eyes can adjusted to the darkness, this room was pretty dimly lit for some reason. A few seconds later, "Surprise!!!" I hear a chorus of people scream, as they jumped out, of their hiding spots. I jumped up in shock, as my eyes got adjusted to the sudden lights. If you ask me this place looked like some sort of party. Oh yea it's my birthday. Wait they all threw a surprise party for me, my smile appeared out of nowhere. This is the happiest I've been for the first time in forever. "Thank you all of you, you don't realize how much this means to me" I say feeling tears of joy threatening to spill any second now. "Now why don't we get this party started?" I ask. Everyone cheers and goes wherever to go have some fun. "Belle I can't thank you enough for this party... I mean just wow... I-I I-"
"It's okay Sapphire, I'm not the only one who did the major planning in this party. Now why don't we gather everyone here so they can watch you open presents?" She offers.
"Sounds like a great idea"

Everyone had gathered to watch me look and open my presents. I was examining a present then I shook, it sounded like fabric but at the same time hard like metal. I wonder who this is from. "From Harry" I read aloud projecting my voice so everyone could hear. " This isn't going to be good" I mutter under my breath surprisingly many people hear me and laugh. I unwrap the present to see its a black, gold spiked bra. I make a face at it and hold it out by one strap so everyone can see it. I hear a lot of whistles, and hoots and ooos "And who would expect any less from Harry?" I ask, I say with a smile on my face.
" Hey! In return for the bra I'm the only one that gets to see you in it" he states.
"Well then I'm not wearing it ever because your not getting to see all of this" I state gesturing towards my figure. Connor gave a warning look to Harry. One a father gives when he starts getting a little protective for his daughter. They had all became pretty overprotective towards me like a bunch of older brothers that stood up for you, or beat up your bully.
"Well now look there's more presents that I must open!" I shout due to the tension.
I look over to see one present bag moving and I hear whimpering coming from it. I look to see this present is from Zayn and there's a note attached. "Will you be my girlfriend yes no?" You know the ones you'd see or get in first grade. My heart literally beating at one million beat per second, I reached in the bag to see a puppy, all white and fluffy and adorable. She had a collar that was an off white color and I was in love with her ever since I laid my eyes on her.
" Look at my new puppy, from Zayn " I announced. I wanted to keep it private in between me and him but then they'd investigate and look at the note which I wanted to keep even more private. Everyone awed at the gift.
I handed Belle Snowball, yep that's what I'm calling her she's white as snow and was rolled up in a ball when I found her. Snow for short. I continued looking through more presents I got a guitar from an anonymous source. I figured it Belle the only one who knew how much I truly loved music. An angel wing necklace one wing for me the other for Belle and some other stuff I just zoned past, those were the most imperative ones to me. I went upstairs making an excuse that I needed to take a tinkle, all of it so overwhelming the people all of it so I decided to get some fresh air, I went on the balcony and took a deep breath watching the L.A. Lights.

"Aww... Sapphire" I heard a voice that I was all too familiar with... It made my blood run cold.
Still with my back turned, I asked "What do you want?"with all the venom I could possibly muster in my voice to show he wasn't wanted around here especially on my date of birth.
" Aww come on now you shouldn't talk that way to your uncle."
"Well... Your my dads brother so why should I trust you?!?!?You never helped me when he got out of control crying about mom getting his dumb-ass drunk self... And you knew what he did to me!!!when he got that way and when he let me go disowned me you did nothing at all, you never even helped him with my moms death for crying out loud!!!" I yelled at him sobbing, I needed this to release and vent out my anger towards someone especially him of all people. I actually turned to look at him.
"Yea, yea whatever that's in the past now" My blood boiled once he said that no wait not boil it was staring to evaporate into the steam coming out my ears. My fists tightened at the statement you'd need a saw to unglue my fists together.
"The past?!?!? Well I still am feeling those times of the past!!! You think just because it all happened more than a decade ago that it doesn't matter anymore and I can just forgive like lalalala best fwiends for Eva like a 3 yr old. Even when I was at the age of 6 I was maturer than everyone else in kindergarten I had the wisdom of 15 yr old I grew up too fast because I had no freaking real childhood all gone in a snap, I had to grow up at the age of like 4." I said lowering my voice slightly on each word I needed to hold on to, letting the tears fall down my cheeks.
"Are you done with your tears because your dad knows your mom is actually very much alive faking her death to escape and live a secret life, and we know she'll try to come in contact with you soon to make sure your safe. So I want you to tell me when she does contact you"
"How do you know she's alive? I've seen her tombstone"
"Yes but have you seen her lifeless body?"I shook my head."Exactly she bribed the doctor and told her what kind of life she was living how your father raped her and forced her to live with him and had them get married. The doctor convinced everyone that she also died of a very contagious disease and that it was very much possible the disease was still very contagious and could harm everyone with the effects, so they kept the coffin closed and filled it with a replica of her body a movie prop and rocks to make it seem heavy instead of too light. He loved her and she wouldn't love him back it made him crazy."
"That's not an excuse for what he did and you know that now can you let me enjoy my party"
" okay but if you help her or if she tries to help you, your father will find both of you, and you may never see the light of day ever he'll try."
I knew exactly what he meant by that I've been in the basement before with little if any food at all. When I was little about maybe 3 or 4 and if I asked questions later like " why do all my friends have a mummy and a daddy married to a mummy? " He'd look at me take a deep breath and tell it's just the way it is, he'd leave the room head straight to the wine cellar and try to drink his problems away. I'd come up to him and say "daddy why is mommy never is here, aren't all kids supposed to have mommies." It would anger him and he was a emotional and abusive drunk so then he'd lift me up not as gentle as I'd hope for and throw me down the basement stairs. My face would hit the cement and I'd try not to cry. The times I did he'd yell for me to shut up and come down there and throw glass bottles at the wall, the glass would ricochet off and sometimes hit my sensitive baby skin, the cuts hurt but there was drops of alcohol which burned my cuts. When he'd leave I'd stay in the corner, with my stuff, I've been down here so much when he wasn't there I'd transfer things from my room in the basement like I got a few night lights, my favorite blanket, my stuffed cat I called truffles, since she was obsessed with truffles and I even brought pillows, and several thick blankets. It made it seem a little bit more comfortable down in the cold basement, when it was unsafe to go up stairs, I'd always lock the door. But... One time I forgot and my father came in with his drunk self the worst of him. I was 13 forgetful yes very. I had just finished my homework so I went to sleep, I was stirred in my sleep by my father swearing to himself, to realize he was in the basement also. I tired to escape I really did but I wasn't quick enough. He got to me before I could even get to the door... And then it was all black... So I don't know what ever happened after that. But I did wake up bruises on my face and cuts not too bad, so I ditched school because I didn't need people questioning me.
I looked up from my flashback to realize my uncle was gone. Am I going to tell anyone? No... If my mother really cared about me so much she should've had my death faked too and take me with her. We could've started a new life together instead of just her doing it and ditching me. She knew what he was capable of, yet she still left me with him. That angered me, but the possibility that my mother is still alive, I didn't want to believe my uncle, he could be trying to mess with me get my hopes up. But if it is true I bet he tampered with my phone, to ease drop on my conversations. I'm using Belle's phone for now on until I get a new phone, I'm gonna try to not get locked up In the basement with my backstabbing mother. I need to sit down. It's all too much to take in, why'd he have to tell me while I was at my party so he can just scare me and ruin my birthday. How could they those dispicable people. Yet my mother did keep me even tough she must've hated my father and having his child. She should've been a good person since she didn't give me up, and actually had me. If only...
"Sapphire there you are... Everyone's- I've been looking for you.You look a little pale. Are you okay?" I tensed when I first heard his voice, but realized it was just Zayn. "So about that girlfriend thing..."
".....Zayn..... Thank you for the puppy...I'm dealing with some really tough stuff right now... Yes I will be your girlfriend but can you give me some time to absorb everything that just happened before you came? Please don't ask. Thanks"
Zayn nodded and left the balcony then I saw him dancing screaming yes over and over. I looked at him, he had brought a grin to my face and tapped on the glass. He looked back at me surprised and embarrassed that I caught him off guard... I think I was now ready to go back to the party, Zayn cheered me up a little.
