The rest of the day in high school I had a good time, the bad thing was that Angelique always gave me reproachful looks and that kind of thing. I would have liked her to also understand that she couldn't do anything else against me and Colton. But I knew her and she was very proud. I'd see Trent too, he was always lonely sitting by the benches on campus, he'd look pensive looking up at the sky.-I can't wait to get home," Colton said, hugging me from behind. He kissed my neck slowly sending shivers throughout my body.-Colton, relax," I smiled, "We can be seen.-How about we skip the last class? -He proposed, "I plan to do a few little things to you.-Oh yeah? Like what?-It's better to do them, don't you think?Colton took my hand and intertwined it with mine, standing in front of me.-I think so, but we have biology and you're doing very poorly in that class, Colton, I care if your grades are good," I looked at him. He just scratched the back of his head in a nonchalant tone. It see
-Monique, please open the door," Colton insisted. I was sitting on the floor near the door in a ball. It had been maybe two hours since I had come to lock myself in here. I could no longer hear things breaking on the floor, which I was grateful for. I didn't even answer him. I felt it wasn't worth it. I felt like I didn't know Colton Dashner. -Don't do something you might regret later.I took a deep breath a little indignant. I was feeling very sleepy already, I wanted to rest because my mind kept thinking and thinking the whole time. At that, Colton's cell phone rings for a moment, I become alert immediately.-Hello," he answered gruffly, then lowered his voice even more, "I can't right now. The other weekend would be better. -Maybe Colton thought I wasn't listening but I could. My senses were always heightened. -Damn it. I think it'll work for me. I'll be there in an hour. -He hung up. -Well, Monique, I hope you enjoy the disappointment.I heard footsteps walking away. I'm so sorry,
-Take cover! -Colton rushed towards me, shielding himself. There was a lot of commotion, there was shouting. There was a moment when the rafts stopped.-Colton! -I heard someone's voice. I knew that voice. "Until I finally get my revenge on you! -It was Darren. I looked over Colton's shoulder as Darren climbed into the ring. He was the one with the gun. And now something dawned on me: he was the one who killed Andy, he was the one who said things about Colton to La Cobra. The question was why.Colton and I stood up, but always Colton in front of me, protecting me. In all the chaos and commotion I had forgotten about Trent. I didn't know if he was hurt or if he was gone. I searched for him with my eyes in the darkness of the place, there was only a white light above the ring now. I looked at a silhouette at the bar, I knew him. Trent motioned for me to shut up.-What the fuck are you doing, Darren? -Colton shouted at him.-Getting even with you," Darren replied, looking disoriented. Ma
The next morning Colton and I got up super early to watch the sunrise, the sun wasn't up yet but we left the house and headed to the beach. The sand under my feet felt freezing cold, I was wearing a beach dress and he was wearing knee length shorts and no shirt.-I love you," he says, holding my hand, "I want this day to be special for both of us," he takes me by the waist and kisses me on the lips. It was a warm and tender kiss. Yesterday was over, I honestly didn't want to keep stressing about those things. I trusted Colton.-I love you, Colton," I wrapped my arms around his neck, "I'm telling you this in all sincerity.-Yesterday I didn't get to tell you what I had planned to tell you," we both sat on the sand, starting to watch the sunlight slowly rise.-What was it? -I looked at him.-Well," he took my hand, "I know this place is beautiful because of the sea and the sand, but I wanted to know if you would be willing to move to another city with me," he proposed.I looked at him s
I have always said: things happen for a reason. And since it seems that life doesn't want to see me with anyone, that's why I don't have a boyfriend. It's not that I don't have any suitors, but that none of those who are after me, I like them.I don't know if it's me or what, but there is no one who makes me feel butterflies in my stomach or makes me nervous just by his presence. Maybe God has something really good in store for me. That's why I haven't found that person yet. I want to talk to you. He says in a deep voice.Keneth Williams: sporty, handsome, good body. Any girl would be willing to go out with him.And what could we possibly talk about? I fold my arms. He has nice eyes.He shrugs his shoulders. Anyone would think he's nervous.一I don't know, a-anything一. He stammers.I'd love to go out with him. But I know myself. If I liked him I'd be shaking and stuttering, feeling those butterflies in my stomach. I realize I don't feel anything.一Maybe another day, okay?一. I smiled
There are days when I wish I didn't get out of bed at all. Today is one of those days. It's Sunday. You're supposed to rest on Sundays, but no, I have a little girl to take care of. But, that's even at night. As it's now ten o'clock in the morning, I have to go to the supermarket. My mother works every day, even on Sundays, well, only on Wednesdays she rests.I took a shopping cart and started to walk through the white aisles. I almost skated because it was so slippery. While shopping I like to listen to music, that's why I put my headphones on, start singing it down low:一I know how it inside my heart, forever will forever be, even if we tride to forget, love will remember.I filled the cart with: milk, cereal, apples, pringles, strawberries, cupcakes. A little bit of everything. Just as I was about to turn a corner, my cart collided with another one, causing some of the things it was carrying to fall over. I immediately rushed to pick them up.一Forgive me, I didn't see you一. I was a
I didn't think I would ever feel again what people in love feel: the nervousness, the butterflies in my stomach, even stuttering. I didn't plan it, it just happened. What I would have liked is to have met Antonio before Estefania, but, well, he and she are very much in love. And I'm just an inexperienced teenager who still sleeps with a teddy bear and is even afraid of the dark.Love is about accepting yourself for who you are, I mean, how are you going to love someone else if you don't even love yourself? Sometimes I don't think I'm ready to love yet, that's why I haven't fallen in love yet, time is giving me time to prepare myself, to prepare myself for when it's my time, for when that person comes, for when I don't have that shame, that embarrassment that I always have when it comes to a guy. I am not ready yet and, I am thankful that the right guy has not arrived because then I will not be ashamed of myself.About three minutes ago Antonio and Estefania came out. They don't even m
I always thought that in my life interesting things didn't happen to me, I even wished for them, I wished for something really good to happen to me, something like in the movies, but this is real life, and believe me, I don't like it at all. I don't like knowing that I can be hurt and even abused.I was struggling with him, I was trying to remove his hands from my mouth, but it was impossible, it is obvious that he is stronger. Tears were flowing down my cheeks like a waterfall, I was moaning as hard as I could to be heard. I thought this was the end of me, but then this happened:一Hey, let her go!一. Antonio shouted.God, what a relief that he showed up.一Don't interfere一. my assailant shouted.一I said let her go一. His voice sounded authoritative, furious. The man, taking heed, threw me to the ground.I could breathe better. However, it wasn't over yet. The offender pulled out a knife, pointing it at Antonio. Oh. Oh, my. Oh, my God. I don't want him to get hurt. What do I do? Call the
I stopped the car, without leaving, just watching Kyle. He was standing, without expressions on his face, but he didn't see me but Rich, he looked at him with a kind of hate. "Are they your bags?" Asked Rich, a little anxious. I know this because his hands began to rub each other in a desperate way. Also his leg went from top to bottom. "Your father wants you to go." "I suppose so," I answer, because the truth doesn't surprise me. Kyle had never been a good father, maybe I don't remember what happened years ago but I only know that he never fights enough for his family, he gives up the first one, he is so cowardly that I hate him for that and more things. I wish my sister was here, but instead I have to be with this man who is called my father. "It can't be," Rich murmured, still anxious. "You can't leave, v, tell him not to take you away." I looked at Rich, taking his hands to calm down a little. "Easy, you're having a kind of anxiety attack." I will not go anywhere. The corner of hi
"Rich, we should go back inside," I groaned in his ear. We were still in the stands of the training camp, we kissed and talked about things, but it had been a long time, maybe two hours and we had not entered to find out if there were classes or not. At that moment my cell phone started ringing on a call. I snorted and took it out of my bag. It was Kyle. "Who calls you?" He wanted to know, stroking my thighs. "It's Kyle," I replied. "I won't answer." "V, maybe he's worried." "Leave those things aside then." Rich took the cell phone and accepted the call but gave it to me, even though I signaled him not. I rolled my eyes and finally replied: "Hello?" "V, where are you?" I knew what happened to a teacher, I'm worried. "I'm fine, in college." I stressed Rich's hair. It smelled so good, I had become very accustomed to this smell. His eyes, his nose, his mouth. This man had me crazy, I felt that I fell in love more and more with every second that passed. Rich's way of seeing me, as if it w
Rich was at Fynn's house, doing what? Fynn, our teacher was dead and someone had shot him in the head. Rich watched me attentively, as if I was afraid that I would be scared. -How? "I wanted to know." "Well," he laughed a little nervous, "I wanted to do something good for you, I wanted to talk to Fynn and ask him to give you more time and not reprove you but it was useless, Fynn was a very strict teacher." I felt a little relief when he told me that, my mind was already betraying me with bad things, things that I know Rich wouldn't do. I smiled shyly and approached him to hug him, his smell invaded my nostrils. I liked feeling it so much, feeling his perfume, his hands around me. I realized that I was falling in love more and more about Rich, it was something I couldn't stop, it was something very strong and intense. I was scared, very afraid because my bad thoughts tortured me by telling me that Rich will one day get bored of me and leave me. "Thank you for wanting to help me," I mur
When I got home I felt so mired in my thoughts, in my pain and in my hatred that I didn't realize that I knocked on the door. That could have woken up Kyle perfectly, well, if he was asleep. Although I doubt it, considering that I took his car ... I climbed the stairs in a hurry and entered my room. Rich I couldn't believe he did this to me. "Venus, what's up?" "I heard Kyle on the other side." I lay down on the bed and crushed my face with the pillow. My tears came out involuntarily. Why the hell did I let Rich get into my life like that, to my heart? I felt that this link I had with him would be my downfall. "Venus, open the door." "Get out, Kyle!" Leave me alone. ”The last sentence was broken. What I least wanted was the pity of this man who had forgotten how to be my father. I didn't want to be here. I wanted to run away and never come back! I felt a lot of hate towards Lina, I felt a lot of contempt for Rich too. He lied to me, told me he was at home but I go and find him with he
When I entered home Dad was at the doorway with a glass of juice in his hand. "You're late," he told me. "I was doing things." "With Rich," he said, "Venus, you know I don't like you to go with him for a long time." Rich is not what it seems. I closed my eyes for a few seconds and tried to calm down, I didn't want to argue with Kyle today. I had spent a nice day with Rich so I didn't want to take away the feeling of tranquility in my system right now. "Not now, Kyle, I'm tired." "They called me from college, you didn't attend classes." Fynn also told me that you failed his subject. What is happening to you, Venus? When you just came here I was very understandable with you, I tried to understand you because yes, I made mistakes in the past but I was willing to remedy them. However, now seeing that you are going astray I cannot continue to be tolerant of what you do or say. I looked at him super surprised, it was the first time Kyle talked to me like that. His voice was hard. "Excuse me
Rich and I arrived at a kind of mountain. There were no trees here, just grass, a grass that seemed to have no end. I walked, feeling free. I just wanted to run, run while screaming in the rain. That, that was freedom for me. "Do you like it?" Rich asked me, he had a blanket in his hands. In the distance I looked at the lake, the one where we bathed once. Then I remembered that Rich had told me that this was his favorite place and I was flattered because he had brought me. Only me. "It's amazing," I said, "there is no one but us here." "That's right." Rich stretched out his cloth on the grass, helped him a little and then sat down. "Why did you bring me here, Rich?" I started to feel nervous, I looked at Rich, how handsome it was ... I felt a stab if he fell in love with someone else. Then I began to feel a little insecurity and sadness, I didn't want him to stop loving me because he loved me, right? Or that is what has made me understand all this time. "I told you I would bring you o
Upon arriving at the university we got out of the car, Rich took me by the hand, intertwining them. I felt a tingling with that gesture, without even asking for it. He looked safer than before now, looser. And I liked that. I felt that I was somehow helping him. "Will I see you at lunchtime?" "I worry as we walk towards the entrance." -Of course. Hasley appeared in my field of vision, I was half serious, maybe I was still half drunk yesterday. I don't know. The weather threatened to rain. "Hello, Hasley," I greeted her. "V, how are you today?" "He looked at us both." Hi, Rich. "You look unveiled," Rich says in a joke mode. I think it's the first time I see him wanting to start conversations with another person. And it's weird. "Yes, I couldn't sleep well last night for those drinks." Are we going to classes? "Hasley looks at me." -It's fine. Rich, I'll see you after a while, ”I smiled at him. I was going to go like this without more but Rich stopped me and gave me a warm kiss on the l
Rich when I slowly open the window of Venus's room, I sneak in to avoid waking her. He had told her that he would come - I really gave him that - since now more than ever he felt he needed to be very close to her. It was like a need to be there all the time, feeling it close to me. I close the window to prevent the cold blizzard from entering and waking it up. She is lying on the bed, she didn't even put on her pajamas this time. I was going to go to his bed to lie down next to him but a light stopped me. It came from his computer, he had left it on. I approached the table with the intention of turning it off but what was on the screen had caught my attention. What does Venus do seeing a picture of me and ... Leah? I tensed. There were almost three photos of Leah and I from many years ago, when we were dating. I brought a hand to my hair a little indignant. Venus maybe she is jealous of her so she had been acting weird. How do I let her know that she really matters to me? It is true t
"Rich, I'd like to talk to my daughter a little if it doesn't bother you," Kyle said. I rolled my eyes and looked at Rich, I didn't want him to leave. I really felt very good with Rich and somehow deep inside me I missed him a lot if he wasn't there. I was sticking to Rich ... and that wasn't good. "Okay, Mr. Maxwell," Rich looked at me, "I see you tomorrow," he looked at. It was a blink so fast that it was impossible for Kyle to see him. But I did understand. I would see it later. In my room Or so I expected. "Sure," I smiled half. Rich left the kitchen, then I heard the front door close so he was gone. "Well, tell me what you have to tell me," I crossed my arms. Kyle felt something tired. I had dark circles. His hair was disheveled and his beard grew. He didn't seem to care. Neglected That was the word. "Sit down," he said as he sat at the kitchen table. My instinct was not to sit down, but why start fighting right now? So I sat quietly, waiting for what Kyle had to say. God, I felt
