My heart hummered loudly in my chest as Colton inched closer,his intense gaze on me. I gulped involuntarily. He softly pinned me against the wall and my eyes shuttered close. I gulped again and flickered my eyes open. Colton was uncomfortably close that I could almost feel his toned body against me. 'Is he going to kiss me?' I thought and my heart skipped a beat. His warm breath was fanning my face and I sucked my lower lip,an action that didn't go undetected. If anything, his gaze darkened and an unfamiliar emotion invaded his eyes. He trailed his eyes down slowly burning into every inch of me, making my stomach clench. "Colton.." I whispered stepping back but I realized my back was against the wall. "Wh- what are you doing?" My breathing shallowed at our close proximity,the air around us becoming thick. "Shhhh." He placed his forefinger on my trembling lips and cocked his head sideways. At first I didn't see anything sinister in the busy street but on

Kayden took a deep breath and readied himself. He wiped the glistening sweat from his ripped abs and face before barrelling towards me with a roar. Curling my hand into a fist, I bit into my knuckle as he got closer. He aimed for my face but I was quick to lock my arms infront of me before he could make contact. He hit my pointed elbows and reeled back groaning in pain. "Is that all you've got?" I choked on a laugh. "Come on,baby. Show me what you got." "Are you certain?" He exhaled sharply still rubbing his fist. " The last thing I want is to hurt you, Isles." "Oh, please." I mocked. "Come on,hit me." He didn't move. I punched him straight on his jaw and he staggered backwards with a yelp. He tried to slam into me again but I moved away from him and almost tripped over. He took the opportunity to lift his leg up to attack but I jammed my arm, blocking him. I took the opportunity to steady myself and deflected his hand with mine, a move that c

"Shit. Shit. Shit." Kayden muttered under his breath while slowly getting up. "I'm so sorry Isles.. I.. we didn't know you were coming." "You didn't know I was coming?" I asked him in utter dismay while looking at each one of them. He looked so embarrassed and I nearly felt sorry for him. "No.. I mean,y- yes." He stuttered. " We knew you were coming,but not right now. I thought you'd text or something." He was slowly approaching me in quick light steps. "I texted." I blurted out but I remembered I didn't exactly hit the send button. "Yeah.. right. I typed the message but didn't send it." I sighed and shifted my weight on my left foot. "We are sorry, Isles. You shouldn't have seen this.. it won't happen again I promise." He reached for my hand but I took a step back. "Ew,dude. Don't touch me." I grimaced. "I think you would want to sanitize your hands and rinse that mouth before coming any closer." I whispered for his ears only and he lau

Ocean eyes. The kind of eyes that reminded me of someone in my past. Someone who had ripped my heart from my chest and crushed it under his boot with pleasure and mirth. The very person who had played with my feelings and destroyed the slightest reputation I had. Someone who stole everything away from me. My heart. My love. My innocence. My family. My friends. My dreams. My entire life. The mere thought of him brought back all the pain I had buried deep inside me and it took all energy in me to prevent tears from streaming down my face. The stabbing pain in my heart was almost unbearable and I clutched at my chest, rubbing it, wanting to ease the tightness and pain I was feeling. "Are you okay?" Ocean eyes spoke again looking at me with concern. My eyes fluttered close and.. I saw him. His blond hair,baby blue eyes and distinctive dimples rushed in my head.I took a lungful of air for stabilization and ripped out of my thoughts so fast. "Y-yeah

"Happy birthday, Isles." A low whisper dragged me out of sleep and I opened my heavy eyelids almost immediately. I was taken aback by the abrupt splash of sunlight filtering through the room and blinked several times to adapt to the sudden brightness. It was too bright for my liking. My eyes finally grew accustomed to the light and sought the source of the voice. A small smile formed on my lips when I saw Kayden peering down at me,his hands on either side of my body. "What time is it?" I groaned as I slowly peeled the sheets from my numb body. I felt exhausted —not ready to meet the world. "It's still early." He answered,his unyielding ebony eyes still on me. "We have an hour and a half before our shift starts. In the meantime, let's celebrate your birthday!" He squealed and I laughed at his ridiculous reaction. "Oh,shut it. You know I hate birthdays." I pointed out with a groan. I looked up at his handsome face and he smiled faintly at me while p

"Mum.. please, don't. Don't do this." I cried helplessly. Unwelcomed tears spilled down my cheeks as I tried to breath in and out slowly, careful not to choke on my own breath. "Get out of my house!" My mother yelled from up the stairs as she threw my belongings at me. My clothes,shoes and books spattered all around me but I didn't bother to pick them up. I was too busy pleading with her to change her mind and forgive me. My knees felt numb from kneeling so much on the cold floor— my voice cracking from screaming so loud. "Mum, I'm sorry please. Forgive me..." I responded hoarsely as more tears blocked my vision. "I can't leave. I'm sorry for what I did... But.. you can't make me leave, please." My mother just shook her head angrily and glared at me. She looked incredibly unstable, and her hands continued trembling while they balled into fists. Her usually calm face was raging with fury and I scooted away in fear. She had already slapped me countless
