Darren threw me to the sofa and my head hit the wall next to me, which made me see stars for a moment.
“Dad has already…”
I covered my head and trembled. Before I finished speaking, I was interrupted by Darren.
“Forget it, don’t let dad worry about it. Can you be more sensible? Just calm down and I can pretend nothing happened.”
After saying that, he slammed the door and went into the second bedroom. Every time after a quarrel, he would take the initiative to sleep in the second bedroom and start cold violence until I compromised.
I covered my swollen and painful head and my heart was cold.
If I had known it would be like this today, I would never have agreed to his proposal.
Darren and I met because of my father.
When I was ten years old, my mother was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and urgently needed money for surgery. Originally, the surgery fee could be raised by waiting for my father’s payment.
But the company refused to pay the debts and my father had nowhere to turn to. Seeing that my mother could not be treated in time, he was anxious to ask for help everywhere.
In the end, it was Darren’s father who gave me some emergency money and kept my father to work in their company.
My father was originally a loyal and honest decoration master. With this favor, he had been working diligently in Gray Company.
In my senior year, I went to the construction site to find my father, but unexpectedly, one of the brackets was unstable and fell straight in my direction.
I realized it later and when I reacted, my palms were sweaty. It was Darren who pushed me and blocked me.
He was accidentally hit and blood oozed from his back.
“Are you okay? Hector should not worry.” After saying that, he fainted on my shoulder.
It turned out that he was practicing with his father and learning some decoration things.
Later, my father took me to see him and I took care of him for a while.
We gradually became familiar with each other, until the day he was discharged from the hospital and returned to school. I ran into him head-on on the playground.
I knew we were in the same school.
He began to find excuses to ask me out for dinner, to take a walk on the playground in the evening and to go to the library to write graduation papers together.
