Chapter 65

• What gave him the right to even think he could lay his filthy hands on her?! Even as I think back to that day, I'm still angry. I remember stepping out of my just concluded class, only to see the hallway crowded with a lot of students. I had made my way through the crowd, only to see Dennis and Laura in the middle. Laura whimpered, tears clouding her eyes as he pulled on her hair. I had become instantly angry and it took every strength in me to not have caused a huge scene and broken his bones. Well, I still had my wish when I met him at the restroom later that day. I can't begin to give the details of our fight, but I remember the fact that he returned home with a broken nose. I had warned him to keep shut about what happened between us, and to tell our other friends to stay away from Laura. She was mine, and no other person had the right to treat her badly. I was really a foolish teenager. How could I have thought it wasn't okay for others to treat her badly, but fine if it was me? I was the one who loved her, I was supposed to have treated her better. I can't believe all those times where I'd shove her against the wall, or grab her arms so tightly that it'd leave a mark. We had attended a private college, so it was not so different from being in high school. Throughout high school and college, she had no friends because everyone was weary about getting on my bad side. That was until now. Until Bianca came into the picture. Bianca stood up for her all the time, and it made me wonder what I was really doing. Bianca cared about her. I also did, but our actions towards her were opposite.
• It had been after Bianca had showed up at our house and I had seen Laura cry..... It was after then that I realized I needed some sort of therapy. I had gradually become so evil, and I didn't even realize it. I had made silly excuses as a teenager, and gone ahead to make her life a living hell. The very same person I loved.
• You would probably not believe that I loved Laura, but I truly did. I love her so so much that I had gone crazy seeing her with Federico. Initially, I wasn't bothered about suitors coming her way because she wasn't really what a lot of guys would see as attractive. Well, she was to me. She had always been, and I didn't care if she wasn't the trendy kind of girl. I knew that underneath those thick rimmed glasses and big clothes, laid a very sexy body. I was very sure about that after all the nights I'd sit at a particular corner of the pool. From that angle, I could clearly see everything Laura was doing in her bedroom. Those were excluding the days her lights were off, or her windows were closed. So trust me, I've seen her and she was a goddess. I know I'm so perverted, but that was the only way I could soothe myself after having to act all day like I actually hated her. Most nights, I would jerk myself off to sleep with thoughts about her.
