Handsome, toxic, dark and wild. Colton Dashner could be anything but one thing: loving someone. I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I decided to be a part of his world, I even thought I would be destroyed by him. However there was something beyond that tough, bad boy facade that he wouldn't let anyone see, I could do it. I didn't heed the warnings, I was stubborn and blind. And now... Now I wish I could go back to that first day I met him, never to have done it again. But time can't stand still, nor can my broken heart.

My alarm clock alarm goes off, making an annoying noise that causes me to jump up and down in my bed, opening my eyes in the process, but I close them a second later, mentally cursing the creator of alarm clocks. Especially that one that sounded so loud that I imagine all the neighbors hear it.

The horrible Monday had arrived, it was the middle of the semester. There were still months to go and I was praying for that to happen, to be able to escape the suffering that was high school. I reached out my hand, turning off the noisy thing and sat up in bed, rubbing my eyes and giving a little yawn. For some reason I stare at a shoe in the corner of my room, seconds pass and I wonder what I'm doing.

Half an hour after showering and putting on my usual baggy gray clothes, I grab my backpack and get ready to leave my room to go to the kitchen for breakfast. The first thing I see is Dad making toast, but I think he's burned one because I hear him curse.

"Everything okay?"I ask, hiding a smile, as I put my bag on the chair.

My dad watches me, smiling at me.

"There must always be something that burns on me"he says, setting the burnt toast on top of a plate. But I can also see the other plate full of more toast. And those are not burnt. He sets them down in front of me.

"I know" I tease him, sitting down. He gives me a withering look as he turns, picks up a glass of juice and puts it next to the plate of toast.

"And your sister isn't up yet?" he questions as he puts a piece of toast in his mouth.

My twin sister.

"No, but she'll be here in five, four, three, two, one...."

"Good morning, family," Angelique's voice made me smile at my guess, and I already knew her more than well. Dad gave me a strange look.

"You need to go out more," he said in a whisper and then looked at my sister and added: "Good morning, honey, your sister has the toast and the juice is on the counter."

Angelique takes the juice and sits down next to me, I notice that she is wearing a short skirt and a shirt up to her navel, as well as heeled sandals. Her red hair falls down her shoulders in waves. Her face is fully made up.

"Dad, I need you to sign something for me, it's to go to the Janesville Heart Fair this weekend."

The hearts fair was for part of Valentine's Day and they will be celebrating it in Janesville, the neighboring town. Everyone in the high school would be going and those who were not of age had to bring permission from their parents. At least I wouldn't go.

"All right" he agrees. When they come they give them to me.

"I won't go" I said, sure. Dad gave me a confused look, so I drank some of my juice to hide my face from him.

"Your sister's going, why aren't you?"he frowned.

The answer was obvious: they were going in pairs or else with friends and that and me, well, I had no partner and not a single friendship, so I'd better stay home studying or writing more chapters of my book. I adjusted my glasses and smiled at my father.

"I don't feel like going" I excused myself.

"Let her, Dad, it's better. So she won't have to be alone all the time" my sister interjected.

I shrugged, I had put on blue pants that looked like they were two sizes too big for me, a plain shirt and my reddish hair also fell down my shoulders, but unlike my sister's curls, mine was completely straight.

Dad stood thoughtfully, watching the two of us.

I finished my juice.

"Okay" he agreed, standing up, "But you and I" he pointed at me "we're going to do some father-daughter weekend, okay?"he smiled at me.

I smiled back, too, glancing sideways at Angelique, who was tensing up and clenching her jaw. I felt bad at that moment for her, I knew she was mad that Dad and I would be spending the whole weekend together and there are times when I think she gets jealous of me.

"Okay" I agreed, standing up, "I'll see you," I walked over and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Angelique still stood up and ran to daddy to hug him and kiss his face with kisses.

"See you in the afternoon," I kept telling her. I grabbed my bag and headed out, the morning was sunny. As soon as I set foot on the sidewalk a convertible car pulled out in front of me.

What was missing, I growled between my teeth.

Loren Wesley was in front of me, along with her two other friends sitting in the back seats. Loren gave me a look of contempt as she looked at herself in the rear view mirror. I could hear the front door close, my sister was coming.

Angelique walked past me and into the passenger seat of the car.

"What are you waiting for, four eyes? You don't expect us to give you a ride," Loren mocked.

I didn't even know why my legs weren't responding. Angelique just gave me a quick glance.

"Let's go" she said to Loren. The girl nodded, pulling away and leaving. I rolled my eyes and set out to walk. I liked walking alone.

Or she just did it because she didn't have anyone to do it with.

Half an hour later I had arrived at the huge high school, students were laughing, others were fighting, others were staring at me and muttering things; it was something I was more than used to. I walked with my head down to my locker. I had Spanish first period so I would get my book out.

Since I didn't want to go back to the hallway I took out the books for the next classes as well, closing the locker very carefully so as not to make noise and not to attract attention, I turned to get to the classroom, but before that, my books collided with a boy's back, making them all fall to the floor.

Silly me, I didn't notice.

"Forgive me" I said, but my mouth threatened to unhinge when the boy turned around.

He was tall, his hair was black and tousled, he wore a nose piercing and I noticed he had a rather large tattoo on the side of his neck. His eyes were very black and... empty. I had never seen him around here before.

The guy gave me a quick glance and then passed it to the floor, immediately kneeling down to pick up the books. I was in nervous mode. I couldn't even move. Even though he was wearing a black jacket, I could tell he had more tattoos on his arms.

"Here you go" he said, handing me the books, but my hands wouldn't move, come on, Monique, move. Heeding my voice, I stretched out my hands, taking the books; somehow his eyes were very attractive and it was impossible for me not to get lost in them. Be more careful.

He gave me a quick glance and then brushed past me, leaving in the direction of the classrooms. I shook my head, trying to come back to my senses. The bell rang announcing the entrance to classes, I spun on my feet and hurried to walk to get there on time, the last thing I want is a scolding from the teacher.

But, it seems that my luck is not on my side today, because I bumped into someone again, causing my books to fall to the floor again; but this time it wasn't the tattooed boy from before, but even worse, Loren Wesley.

"Don't you notice?" She sputtered. I lowered my head.

"I'm sorry" I muttered.

She folded her arms.

"Hey, Monique, it's obvious that Angelique is better than you, even though you're twins." She crooned to annoy me. But I wouldn't give her the pleasure. "Watch where you're walking for next time" she stepped over my books and walked away, guffawing.

I didn't understand why people like her existed. I knelt down and picked up my books, there were no more kids outside. When I got to the entrance of the classroom, I knocked twice. Teacher Karmen gave me a questioning look.

"First time you've been late, Monique" she said, raising her voice a little, making everyone in the room look at me.

"I'm sorry" I managed to articulate. The teacher smiled sideways at me.

"Come in, there's an empty seat at the end, your place has already been taken."

I walked into the classroom, looking for the empty spot, my breath hitched as I saw who would be next to me. The same boy full of tattoos. Using all my willpower I approached the place, sitting down.

The teacher started the class, but for the first time I wasn't paying attention, my thoughts were elsewhere. The boy next to me sat with a carefree air and looked irritated, exasperated, as if he didn't want to be here; or just didn't want to be near me.

"So you have a twin, huh?" His voice made me look at him immediately, confused. He looked at me waiting for an answer, I turned to see where Angelique was, sitting a few tables ahead, surprised that she had her eyes on us, but when she saw me she looked away.

I looked at the boy.

"Y-yes" I hesitated.

"... Are you a virgin?" he blurted out just like that. My eyes widened in astonishment and I bet if I was drinking something I would have thrown it out of my mouth. I looked at him in horror.

"E-excuse me ?"I stammered; I could feel my cheeks flushing. The boy let out a laugh that I imagine didn't go unnoticed by the others.

"Ingenue" he muttered.

I frowned in his direction, why would he ask me that? Was he teasing me? But my thoughts were lost the moment I saw that he was still smiling, his smile was cute.

"I'm Monique" I said without thinking.

The boy looked at me for a moment.

"Colton Dashner"

"What made you come here, Colton?" I questioned, although to tell the truth I think it was a bit hasty on my part as the boy became serious for a moment, thoughtful.

"A new beginning" he replied, and then grabbed his things, stood up and hurried out of the classroom, leaving the teacher talking to herself.

I was confused, why was he acting like that, was it so bad what had happened to him? I looked down at my notebook, but a sheet of paper next to mine, Colton's place, caught my eye. It was in a ball; I looked both ways as if to make sure no one was watching me and picked it up. I unwrapped it, looking at what I had drawn.

It was a face, the girl had glasses and long hair, her eyes looked familiar, as did her nose, and her mouth, and the girl herself.

Was it me?

As I left in the direction of the cafeteria, I was confronted with a somewhat... disconcerting scene. I actually stood still in the same place, observing what was in front of me. I don't know if what I felt was disappointment or sadness.My sister was making out with a boy, but it wasn't just any boy. It was Colton Dashner. My legs wouldn't follow orders, as my mind was on the two of them, the picture from before, was that my sister in that picture? My sister didn't wear glasses, or maybe she did.I snapped back to reality when I felt someone pass me pushing my arm, making me stagger. Loren walked past me smiling cheekily and then left with her friends. I took a deep breath and hurried to walk, as I almost passed Angelique and Colton, they parted. Colton looked at me. He was watching me, I gave him a quick glance at the time I passed him, feeling like that moment was passing in slow motion.He's with my sister, so get him out of your head Monique, you're not good enough for him or any

Colton broke away from me immediately and looked out the window."Shit" he cursed, putting the knife in his back pocket. "The police are out front, you have to come down.""What?" I was scared now, I didn't want to get involved with cops or anything like that. Colton was desperate, but not that desperate, he was calm in spite of everything. What am I supposed to tell him?"Make something up, if they ask for me...." He watched me carefully... "You'll say what you think best." He stepped back and sat on the edge of my bed, leaning his back against the back of it. "That's if: you haven't seen me, you don't even know me."The doorbell rang again. I was stunned, lying to the police is a crime, however, I remembered that Dad would be coming and if he looked at the police he would be alarmed.I nodded, adjusting my glasses, gave Colton a quick glance and then left my room. I walked down the stairs with trembling feet and went to open the door. Two policemen stood in front of me."Good evenin

When I set foot in that house a smell of cigarettes and alcohol invaded my nostrils, people dancing, the dim lighting prevented me from seeing a little, there were lights of all colors as in a disco, the truth had only attended one in my life. I felt glances at me, the house was big, I could see the stairs at the entrance that led to the second floor, I could also notice some high school kids.-Don't get lost," Victor whispered very close to my ear. I immediately turned to them, Colton Dashner was leaning against a wall, putting his foot on it, smoking a cigarette, while he was watching me, analyzing me. -Do you want something to drink?-Water, please," I raised my voice to make it audible.Victor laughed, and I could tell Colton snorted.-How about something stronger? Like... A beer? -Victor insisted.I had never tasted a beer in my life and I won't either, I just came following a guy to find out what he was up to, but at that moment I realized something more important, and that was

The alarm on my alarm clock has been going off about three more times for quite a while now. I squeeze my eyes shut and tell myself I won't wake up again. I manage to sit up in bed and rub my eyes. My hair must be a mess since I feel it all over my face. I get up, head to the bathroom and take a quick shower.When I get out I head to my closet, I decide on some black pants, baggy obviously, a long sleeved shirt and some converse in white. I comb my hair, leaving it loose and put on my glasses. I tidy my desk, putting pencils and some notebooks in my bag. When I'm ready I glance in the mirror. I bite my lower lip since it doesn't show my true figure and, before I walk out the door, my eyes fall on my bedroom window, which has the curtain drawn, revealing Colton's room.He's not in bed so I guess he's getting ready for school. I push him aside, open my door and head downstairs. Downstairs Dad prepares some meat pies, Angelique is already sitting in her place, eating breakfast. I drop my

-I'll be around," Darren said goodbye, walking out the door that Colton had just left. It was obvious that this boy was dangerous and troublesome but.... What did I have to do with it? I pulled out my cell phone as I felt it vibrate.It was Dad.-Hello? -I answered, adjusting my glasses.-Monique, there's been a problem," he said on the other end of the line.-Did something happen? -I asked immediately, a little worried.-Don't worry," he calmed me down, "it's work. I have to travel.I frowned, as that had never happened before.-Travel? Why, when are you coming back? -I was a bit paranoid, as staying home alone with Angelique was not something I liked, especially after....-I don't want to go, Monique, but it's necessary otherwise... it would cost me my job and we can't afford to lose it," he sounded worried. The trip will take four days. I would be back Monday morning. At the moment I'm at home doing the annoyances.-Dad, I don't want you to go away for so long," I whispered a littl

I was so nervous that I didn't think things through, I didn't think about what I was going to do, I just did it, I wrapped my arms around Colton's waist, taking him by surprise, since at first he didn't return my embrace, but I imagine I gave him some kind of pity because little by little he wrapped his arms around my back, feeling at that moment his warmth.I felt good, I admit it, little by little I was calming down, until my sobs were no longer audible. Colton's hand rubbed my back but he didn't say anything.-Are you calmer? -he asked with some concern.-I think so," I replied, pulling away from him. Thank you, Colton... -I looked at him- If it hadn't been for you...-Shhh," he shushed me, "don't even say it. Colton lifted his hand, wiping away a small tear that fell down my cheek. I felt his touch, warm and warm, my skin tingled at that moment. I could also tell that my glasses had fallen off in the path of the struggle because I didn't have them on me. My eyes were on Colton w

After the bell rang announcing the entrance to class I sat in the same place as the time Colton came, since now my place up front had been taken by Loren, it had to be her. I was not surprised not to see Colton sitting here as he is likely to come late or not come at all. I deduced the latter as I saw him coming up behind the professor. He came to my side and sat down, at that moment the drawing he had made came to my mind and an urge to ask him who he was came over me but I restrained myself.-All right, guys, today we will work in pairs, just as you are. -The coexistence and civics teacher explained. You have to write down your partner's likes and dislikes and what they like to do in their free time, if they work, if their parents get along well, here we are not going to be embarrassed or anything. The reason for this will be to help those of you who have problems, okay? Okay, let's get started.A handful of students could be heard booing not liking the teacher's idea, however other

When we arrived at the party the house was too crowded, there were people even outside, chatting and drinking from a red glass. Darren took me inside the house, I didn't miss his hand on my waist, I didn't like him doing that. I felt uncomfortable. The music was blaring too loud. People were pushing and shoving and everything.-Darren! -someone exclaimed from behind us. We both turned to look. There came a slim, dark-haired girl. She approached Darren with a big smile on her face.-Brenda, when did you get here? -asked my companion, too surprised.-Today in the afternoon, I heard there was a party today and we decided to come," she answered.-We decided? -Darren asked.-Yes, Kendra came anyway," she replied.I noticed Darren tensed up so I gave him a quick glance, until he set his sights on me.-Monique, I'm sorry," he said and then looked at Brenda. This is Monique, a friend," he introduced me.Brenda looked at me, smiling.-Hi, I'm Brenda," she shook her hand. I took it hesitantly.

The guy in front of me was slowly approaching me, trying to kiss me, but I didn't want to. God, I hadn't had my first kiss and I didn't want to do it with this almost drunk person in front of me.-You look beautiful," he whispered, his breath smelling like some cigarette mixed with beer.I didn't even answer him, when the guy brought his mouth close to mine I pulled away.-Come on, let me kiss you," he said.-You know what? I'd better not, I want to go.-You have to fulfill the challenge, Monique.... -He grabbed me by the waist, pulling me closer to him. I tried to push him away but I couldn't. I didn't know at what point I had gotten myself into this. I didn't know at what point I had gotten brave enough to be hanging out at older guys' parties. I wasn't like that. The boy took my face in his hands. I couldn't believe that my first kiss would be with a stranger and without love.As the boy is about to kiss me, the closet door opens. We both turn to see the aforementioned: Colton.-Co
