Bad Boy Isn’t My Type

Jennie POV

My brain was reeling out. I didn’t turn back. Please let it not be him again……

I increased my speed of walking. I walked at the brisk place reaching my little apartment in a matter of minutes.

I felt a relief when I heard the familiar click of the lock opening and pushed open the door into my warm apartment.

I set my bag on the stand at the side slipping off my boots and coat, hanging up my coat on the coat rank. I jerked when I someone called me.

” You’re back Jennie!” mom squealed.

” Oh my God! Mom you scared me…… and why are you still awake…” I said keeping my hand on my chest.

” Well I had some work to do” she said lifting a heavy box.

” Mom, how many times I have warned you not to lift heavy things. It’s not good for your health” I sighed taking the box from her.

” Oh dear, can’t I do little things…… you expect me to sit idle.!?” She pouted.

“Exactly! My mom is precious to me” I gave a peck on her cheek.

” Did you eat? Did you take medicines?”

“Yes dear , your father took care all of it.” She said smiling widely.

“Good night ma” I said hugging her.

” Good night sweetie.” Mom pecked my forehead and went off to her room.

I walked towards my room eager just to sink into the warmth and comfort of my bed after that terrifying walk.

Was it him or it’s my hallucination…? It’s been 2 week since he attacked me!? Why do you care anyway? Forget it and move ahead in life…

Next morning…

“Jennie…… oh Jennieya……” Harper screamed from outside.

” I’m coming down now, please don’t call my name again” I yell as I walk downstairs.

Mom was serving breakfast to dad and Harper was sitting on a couch.

” Hey college girl” Harper smiles a bright, perfectly lined smile while standing to pull me into a tight hug. I hugged her giving same bright smile to her.

” Aunty…… I have a favor to ask! ” Harper chirped.

” Go on dear, we are listening……” Mom said.

” Well it’s like this…… we have a friend who is offering us to stay in her house, you see we cannot make up and down from college to house and vice versa. It will be hectic, so I am telling her to move in with me” she said in one breath.

” Mom I cannot live without you all ” I pouted.

” Oh come on, kindergarten kid…… it’s not like they going to eat you up there” Harper teased me.

“Aunty please…… please make her agree, it’s for her own good” Harper whined.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

” Dear I think Harper is right…… 3 hrs will be very hectic…… in total 6 hrs for coming and going. Besides here environment is not suitable for studying dear…… maybe that’s better” Mom said.

” But mom……”

” Oh come on Jennie dear…… I am there with your mother, nothing going to happen to us. We just want you to have a good future and a comfortable life” Dad grinned. I hugged dad and mom tears escaping from my eyes. Harper was silently, carefully wiping her eyes watching our family bond. I separated from them and I faced Harper.

” Yes I’m coming……” I said giving a bright smile to her.

“Yay…… finally” she hugged me and started jumping like a kid.

Next day……

” I just can’t believe you are in college! My only daughter, a college student, living on her own. I just can’t believe it” Mom whines and wipes her teary eyes.

” Ma…… don’t cry, this is why I don’t want to leave you” I whined.

” Don’t worry about her dear, just pack your things” Dad gave a pat on my back.

” Okay sweetie, I am baking cupcakes so you could take them with you, chocolate! your favorite” Mom winked and I giggled.

” Thanks Mom, You are the best!” I kissed her cheek gently, mom and dad walked out of my room as I continued to pack my things.

After I filled 2 luggages, 3 small travel bags, and my backpack, I skipped my way down the stairs. My parents were giving me a nice farewell. I heard a car honking sound. It must be Harper!

Dad brought all the luggages down and dragged it towards the car. I hugged mom and dad And then we were off to the Rose house. My eyes widened when I saw Rose house.

Rose was waiting outside for our arrival.

” Oh my God! This is your house!!” Harper gawked at the house.

“It’s nothing much…… haha, let’s go inside folks” Rose said cheerfully.

” See I don’t want to live alone here in this big house, I told Dad to buy a simple house but he bought this for me, I don’t want to be a third wheel in my cousin’s house since he has a girlfriend, so I decided to live here.” Rose said cheerfully.

” Hmmmm…… so where is our room!?” Harper said excited.

” There is no ours, everybody gets each a room” Rose laughed seeing our expression.

” Now that’s why I love you” Harper chirped hugging Rose and jumping. I rolled my eyes by their behavior. These are kids literally!

Finally I was in the room in which I will be living. It was 3 times bigger than my previous room.

” So do you like it!? ” Rose said raising her eyebrows.

” Like it? I love it Rose, thank you!” I hugged her.

” Oh it’s nothing, I am glad you accepted to stay here! I’m soo happy” Rose hugged me tightly.

” Can I rest for a while, I feel tired ” I pouted feeling tired.

” Sure…… room is all yours! ” Rose bowed to me and left the room. Feeling exhausted I lay on the bed. I was feeling homesick. Everything was perfect here still I missed mom and dad. I have never lived alone before. Did I make a right decision coming here!?

After few minutes. I freshened up wore my pyjamas and I begin to unpack my bags. My clothes are neatly folded and stored in the big closet. I started arranging the things.

Suddenly Rose shouted ” Jennie…… come down look who’s here, come down I want to introduce you”

Introduce me!? It’s must be her cousin and her girlfriend perhaps…

I ran down the stairs. There were many people maybe around 5-6 people, but only Xavier was facing me. Rosé pulled me towards her and screamed ” look who’s here everyone”

Everybody’s attention was now towards me. I froze. God! It’s them…… it’s him…… the guy who attacked me in the cafe!

My knees went weak, but Rosé was holding me tightly as if I was going to evaporate. I spotted him…… the maniac.

YOU ARE MINE! AND I WILL HAVE YOU SOON……

My breath hitched in my throat, my heart started racing. He was directly looking into me.

I gripped Rose hand in my hand growing insecure under his stare. Even with the distance separating us I could clearly see those cold, cold eyes tracing my part of body and I felt naked. I felt like he was stripping me, leaving nothing but heat and insecurity. He was looking me like I was his prey. His eyes were filled with pure hatred towards me.

YOU ARE MINE! AND I WILL HAVE YOU SOON……

It was constantly ringing on my mind. Each and every scene of that night was repeating on my mind. My gaze averted to a girl who started approaching me…… the girl whom I met in cafe at that night.

” Hi Jennie… I am Xavier’s girlfriend Emma” she raised her hand for handshake. My heart was hammering my chest. My mind was going blank. I started stepping back pushing the hold of Rose.

” You…… ” I started stepping back.

” Listen Jennie, I am sorry about the attack that happened on you at the cafe. It was a mistake, please give me a chance to explain” Emma started taking larger steps towards me. Then somebody shouted from behind me.

” You what!? You got attacked in the cafe!!!” Harper screamed almost getting everyone’s attention.

” When, how, you didn’t tell me you little twerp” she pulled me towards her almost screaming on my face.

” Please, give them one second, let them talk, they are having a important conversation” Rose reached towards us and clamped Harper’s mouth.

” What do……. you…… want…” I shuttered not looking at the maniac and his friends, just staring the marble floor. I was panicking. My breath was becoming uneven.

” Please calm down for a second, please someone give her a glass of water.” Emma shouted.

” No please leave me alone, why are you here!?” I started panicking.

” Please take Vincent outside, she is panicking seeing him” Emma ordered the boys out there. Xavier and another guy left with that maniac.

” Now please calm down, let me explain it to you.” Emma said in calm tone. A tall boy maybe of 6’2 was standing beside her. They made me sit on the chair. We were all sitting on the dining room, across the dining table.

” We need your help Jennie, it’s severe, I know it was wrong to approach you like what happened that night, we didn’t know he would be there” Emma said concern lacing her voice.

” Let me tell you something…… please listen carefully, you need to know everything ” Emma said in dead serious tone.

” Vincent is suffering from cyclothymia disorder. It’s basically a mood disorder that causes depression and mood swings. People with cyclothymia can typically function in daily life, although it may be difficult.”

“In some people, traumatic events or experiences may act as a trigger for this condition, and Vincent became the prey. He started developing this disorder because he was betrayed by his ex lover. Her name is Eva Smith, Blake show her the photo” Emma ordered. Blake came towards me and handed me the photo.
