Beautiful Adeline A Mafia Romance

Meadowcreek high school, the senior year 2010

Monday morning.

Eighteen year old Damien Sky groaned and shivered violently as the cold water dripped down his body. His ideal temperature was steaming hot water. So hot that the entire bathroom was usually hot and foggy, and the water would almost burn his skin.

But not today.

Today he had to settle with cold water as the hot water would make his wounds sting. The fresh new scars that decorated his back and thigh last night were still raw and painful. When will it end? He thought and sighed as he realized how pointless this question was. He quickly put on some clothes. The fabric rubbed against his scars, but he ignored the pain and hurried to his car. He couldn't be late for class again. Principal Hale would have his head and call his father to his office again. He couldn't have that.

He decided to make a quick stop at Robbie's house. Robbie was his best friend and the only person he trusted with all his secrets. He accepted Damien for who he was and never judged him.

Damien turned the doorknob at Robbie's house, and it opened right away. Robbie's parents were never home, and he didn't believe in locking his door. It was a surprise that they didn't get robbed already.

"Robbie! Get your ass downstairs. We are gonna be late!" Damien yelled from the top of his lungs.

"I'm coming! No need to get your panties in a twist, Jesus Christ," Robbie shouted from upstairs. Damien heard him stomping downstairs after a moment.

"Morning dickhead," Robbie greeted Damien and slapped him on the back.

"Fuck.." Damien winced. "That hurt, asshole."

Robbie frowned. "Shit, dude...my bad. It happened again last night?" his gaze softened. He looked at his friend with sympathy.

"Don't worry about it. Just another day in the life of Damien Sky." Damien laughed. Robbie didn't say anything else and turned away. There was nothing he could do for his friend, no matter how badly he wanted to help him.

They split up and went to class as they had different schedules.

"I'll see you at lunch. Take it easy," Robbie said before storming off.

The first and second period was eventless. Damien lazily got up and walked into his 3rd-period class, which was science.

"Nice of you to show up on time, Mr. Sky," the science teacher Mrs. Anders remarked as soon as he stepped inside. Bitch...

Damien glared at her but quietly took his seat. The last thing he needed was another detention.

"Hey Damien, are we still on for tonight?" Damien looked to his side as Julie Mathews spoke to him.

"What's tonight?" he was confused. Did he forget about a party? Robbie didn't mention anything about that.

"Damien! You were supposed to come over and help me with math, remember?" Julie giggled.

"I don't know shit about math. Are you kidding me?" Damien was starting to get irritated. What the hell was she talking about? He never made such a promise to her.

"By math, I mean..." Julie placed her hand on his thigh and gave it a quick stroke. She looked at him and winked.
