AMELIA

My eyes stared back at the crowd in shock; I was too embarrassed to move, my brain lagging behind to process what was happening. A roaring laugh echoed in the hall, they were all laughing at me. My eyes met Dylan's. He was too stunned to react.

"Amelia, you should fix your dress." The principal said with a soft tone, reality finally hit me. My hands rushed to cover my bosoms and I ran away from the stares and laugh of mockery. As I ran past Valerie I heard her snicker. "Your fast ass ruined a perfect dress."

That was enough; I could not bear it. I didn't know where I was heading but I needed to leave. Tears continued running down my eyes, my sobs were caught in my throat. My heart tightened, making it difficult to breathe. I was fat so running and crying was too much stress on my heart.

Valerie did this, what did I ever do to deserve such hatred? I never came in her way and always did my best to avoid her but she always finds a way to make my life a living hell. I wonder what Dylan thought. At that moment, the entire school had a good glimpse of my fat bosoms. At this rate, my life was over.

I ran through one of the external doors that led to a garden. Finally, my legs gave up strength as I ran out through the door, tripping myself.

I closed my eyes waiting for my face to crash against the stone floor. suddenly someone grabbed my hand, yanking me backwards. Due to the force, I ended up stumbling and falling on my saviour who served as a cushion

"My head hurts," he groaned.

"Dylan," I gasped in disbelief, quickly getting off him. I was stunned to realize he came after me and even saved me from falling. "Sorry about that," I blurted, giving him a hand to get up, then quickly covered up my exposed plum bosoms with my hands, but they barely covered them.

Dylan dusted off the dirt from his clothes. Then he glanced at me; there was this indescribable look in his eyes. "I should be the one apologizing. I froze out there and didn't do anything when everyone was laughing at you." There was guilt-filled in his words that touched me. I was glad he cared.

"It's not your fault. I think Valerie stepped on my dress and now the entire school had seen my ugly melons." I laughed it off, trying to get over the fact. A frown etched between his brows displeased with something, he sighed pulling off his tuxedo he draped over me.

"They are not ugly, Amelia; they are beautiful and perfect. Those flat-chest girls were just jealous. They didn't deserve to see it. " He said in a serious tone while buttoning up the tux on me. I love this side of Dylan that was protective.

His tender actions touched my heart, I didn't even know that I was crying once more. "Those are very sweet words," I muttered.

"You deserve the sweetest words and enough of the tears. Today is your first prom. Only smiles are allowed." His hands reached out for my face to wipe up my tears. My gaze didn't leave him for once, my heartbeat slowed, and I wanted this moment to last forever.

After he was done, he pulled my hands, walking in an unknown direction. "Where are we going?" I asked him as I followed behind. Dylan glanced at me with a smile. "Let's get ice cream so that your frown will turn to a smile." He declared I didn't need the ice cream because my cheeks were already burning red. I bowed my head to hide my smile.

There was a nearby park to the hotel where we could still get ice cream this late. Dylan knew my favourite flavour. "Two cones with one scoop of vanilla and strawberry with some sprinkles please." He ordered. I held his hand standing behind him with a cheesy smile on my face. My stomach was fluttering and my head was already coming up with silly thoughts about how we looked like a real couple.

"Here's your ice cream." The truck man said giving them to us. "Thank you," Dylan said after paying for the ice. We started walking through the empty park while licking ice cream. The flavours of vanilla and strawberry melting in my mouth made me hum in delight. It was truly delicious.

The sky was dark and adorned with bright twinkling stars as the wind blew lightly carrying the scent of wet grass. It was a bit cold but still perfect. Dylan's warm hand holding my hand made it seem more romantic. It felt like an actual date.

In the middle of the park, there was a beautiful Lake that was a popular romantic spot. Dylan walked me over there, and I got more nervous, wondering if he had something special to tell me. We weren't the only ones by the lake, but luckily, he found an empty bench under a street lamp. We sat on the bench and started, admiring, and gazing at the stars from the lake's surface.

It was truly mesmerizing, "Dylan, I am..."

Before I could finish my statement he cut me off. "I am really sorry about Valerie. It's a shame she ruined such a perfect dress." He apologized again, I didn't understand why he was super sensitive about Valerie.

"I can always get another dress," I answered, glancing at my hand covered by his warm hand. "I can't wait to see you in it." Dylan chimed, smiling sweetly at me. My heart skipped a beat.

I shyly averted my eyes, tucking my hair behind my ears. "You will have to wait a bit because I don't have any party coming up soon."

"The wait will be pleasurable; by the way, I was wondering if you will be free to join my family for the summer vacation. It won't be a big issue since your dad works with mine." Dylan suddenly invited me over, making me snap my head in his direction. I was speechless and lost in words.

It was too good to be true, Dylan panicked thinking I was going to reject. "Please don't reject straight away. Think about it. The trip will be fun and I really want to make up for today." He quickly added. I was still speechless, unable to believe it, and it caused further confusion.

"Come on, Amelia, just agree, and on the plus side, I have a surprise for you that will be revealed during the break." He urges me. My eyes went wide, surprised by his words.

"A surprise, what is it?" I could not help but ask. Successfully taking the bat, Dylan grinned then leaned forward, basking me in his warm mint breath that had a hint of alcohol. "It won't be a surprise if I tell you. All I can say is that it is something very important I wanted to tell you for a long while now."

*****

I was double-checking my luggage to check everything was there. Yes, I ended up saying yes. There was no way I would turn down Dylan after he said he had an important confession to make. Just the thought of it made me feel giddy with excitement.

I made sure to take a lot of sexy outfits and dresses. He said he couldn't wait for me to dress up again. Well, he got lucky because I would be on fire throughout this summer break.

What if Dylan also loved me and this was an excuse to romantically confess? The thought of it made me blush so hard that my cheeks felt heated up. "I think we have everything." My personal maid Deborah said as she helped me pack up everything.

"What do you think Dylan wants to tell me?" I asked Deborah as I watched her zip up my luggage. Deborah had been working at my house forever. She was also basically my nanny, and we were super close.

Deborah smiled at me, "I think Dylan wants to confess his love. A vacation together is the perfect get-together." Deborah's words made me more excited about it. This could not be real. The thought of Dylan having the same feelings as I did was a dream I didn't even dare dream of.

"I am not sure about that. I don't want to get my hopes high only for it to come crashing down." I pouted as the possibility of it being something else popped into my head. My excitement quickly dulled.

"That's a slim chance. This reminded me of the time my boyfriend officially asked me to be his girlfriend. He took a weekend trip to a spring resort, it was magical." The dreamy look in Deborah's eyes as she reminisced a distant memory made me wonder if Dylan's confession would be something also super romantic.

Deborah and I made sure everything was in place before I got the driver to take me to Dylan's place. The entire ride I could not hold in my excitement. This would be the best summer holiday ever.

I tried calling Dylan a couple of times but he seemed busy and texted me back saying he was waiting at home..

A few hours later, the car drove through Thane estate gates. After a short drive, we arrived at the manor. "We have arrived, young mistress." The driver involved me; my eyes moved away from my phone screen to glance at the familiar Thane Manor.

Scanning the environment, a small frown graced my lips that fell when I spotted a particular pink SUV I would never mistake with the plate number ' Queen of Pink .' Without a doubt, I knew it was Valerie's car. What was she doing at Dylan's place? This gave me a very bad feeling.

    AMELIA It gave me an unsettling feeling. As far as I knew, Thane Estate was a private property, and there was no reason for Valerie’s car to be parked here. Dylan knew how she treated me at school. He knew the things she had done.What about that night at prom? The night she ruined my dress and humiliated me in front of everyone?I shook my head. Maybe I’m overthinking this. There must be a reasonable explanation.“When I go in, I’ll ask Dylan why her car is here. There should be a good reason, right?” I murmured under my breath, trying to reassure myself.As soon as the driver stepped out and opened the car door for me, I took a deep breath and also got out. He then moved to retrieve my luggage from the trunk while I pulled out my phone and dialed Dylan’s number.He picked up almost immediately.“Amelia,” he said, my name rolling off his tongue in that deep, familiar baritone.My heart skipped a beat.“Yes. Where are you? I just got here,” I said, gripping my phone a little tighter

    Dylan's POV. I should have been more careful. I should have destroyed that stupid page the moment I wrote it. It was just a dumb dare, a meaningless joke, but now...now it had ruined everything. I had only stepped out to grab snacks for our movie night, but when I got back, I knew something was wrong. The house was eerily silent. No music, no distant hum of the TV. Just silence. Then I went upstairs to check on her after keeping the things I bought. I checked her room but I didn't see her in there. Then I thought of fetching my phone from my room so I could use it to reach out to her in order to know where she was because I had forgotten to take my phone along with me when leaving the house to get some snacks and then I saw her... Amelia. She stood in the middle of my room, her back to me, clutching my opened diary. Her shoulders trembled, and I knew it before she even turned around. I knew. She had read it. Shit! “Amelia…” My voice was barely above a whisper. My throat fe

    AMELIA. I looked around the environment I stood in with wary eyes. I was not sure if I had made the right decision to come to this place, but one thing I knew was that I wanted to try it out. I was not the impulsive type; I always thought decisions out to the best of my capabilities. But here I was. I was so tired of the life I was living. I was tired of the way everybody around me was treating me. Hence, the reason I accepted the offer of the dark witch. She gave me a secret location to meet her, and here I was. In this very creepy environment that I'd love to get out of soon, it felt like a voodoo would jump out at me anytime soon. The cave was dark, with different strange flowers coiling itself into the corners of the cave. And this fog was in the cave; it made it impossible to see if someone was coming except you heard the footsteps. Oh lord, I'm only trying to change the way I look, not die before I even start. Something moved to my right, and my neck could have broken wit

    AMELIA. “Yes, I am ready.” I replied and straightened up.She smiled, and the next thing I knew, she chanted some spells under her breath, and she had something that looked like a liquid bottle in her palm. “So, here's the secret.” She said and stretched it towards me. I looked at the bottle warily, suddenly feeling weird about the whole situation. I looked at the bottle like the content could hurt me. “My hands are hurting, Amelia. Won't you take it?" She said in that sweet voice, but there was an underlying tone to it that told me if I let her wait one more second, she would turn me into the creepy flowers that made the cave look creepier. “Am I supposed to go home and drink it or something?” I asked her. “No, my dear. You're going to take it right here, right now. Because I have to be there for the spell to work. The moment you take it, I'm going to say some spell that would put everything in order.” She said, and I nodded, swallowing hard as I got myself ready. Then, I pro

    AMELIA. I woke up the next day like every normal morning. I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling of my room for what felt like hours but was only a few minutes in the reality of it. It was another day to go to school again. To endure the bullying and the hate comments I got from people and to see the face of the guy I loved but didn't love me back. Then I slowly stood up from the bed and walked towards the bathroom; I checked the time on my bedside mirror. I would be late if I didn't start preparing for school now, and I didn't want that. I didn't want to be laughed at by the whole class when I walk into class late with my head bowed down in shame.Being late meant going into a class with all eyes on me, a few snickers and snarls here and there along with some insults to make me more insecure, self-conscious and ashamed of myself. I wasn't ready for all that. I passed the front of my vanity mirror and walked to open the door to my bathroom, but I suddenly stopped. Then I walk

    AMELIA. Ever since I got out of my car, I've been getting stares that I've never gotten in my whole life. I was used to the stares of being the only day girl in the room or the class, but this time around, I was the girl with the perfect body and the perfect curves and shape. So yes, I liked it very much. I was in a maxi gown. One that opened cleavage, yes. A whole lot of cleavage. I didn't get this perfect body to hide how beautiful it was. The maxi gown was brown in colour; it complimented the colour of my eyes, and I wore a very nice jean jacket over it.I kept it simple as usual but elegant and classy. I liked how outlined my shape was in this dress; it made me feel high about myself. At how beautiful I was, my skin looked like milk. I smiled and shook the thought out of my head: I needed to get to class quickly if I didn't want to fail my classes. I tried to get used to the wondrous stares as I walked to class, and I was finally in front of my class; I pushed the door op

    AMELIA. “So, you think you're beautiful now, you cheating bitch?” Valerie’s voice boomed behind me, and I rolled my eyes slowly. Then, I took my sweet time before I faced her and looked at her head-on. I made sure to have a little smirk on my face so that she would be more pissed off. “I'm sorry, what?” I asked her innocently. Feigning pretence, I wanted to make her feel like she was going crazy the way she made me feel. “Don't you dare pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about bitch, because you're very well aware of what I mean? Did you suddenly go for plastic surgery? Is that what you did?” She asked, almost screaming. The whole cafeteria was looking at us now, and I enjoyed this attention so much because I was about to humiliate Valerie. She better stay far away from me after this altercation because I wasn't planning on going easy on her. “Yes, I had plastic surgery,” I said, checking to see her reaction. Sbe looked shocked that I gave in to what she said. I took

    AMELIA. School was finally over for the day, and I was in my car, driving down to the cave to meet the witch that made me so beautiful. I needed to appreciate her; the woman looked like she loved beautiful things, so I branched into a boutique to buy her some gifts. As I drove, my mind strayed back to the events that happened today at school, the altercation with Valerie to the new girl who wanted to be my friend. Ava was a nice girl; she was the type of person who would make all the conversation. All you just needed to do was answer any question she asked. She was so jovial, and she told me I looked beautiful. She's a nice company to keep around, and she looked like she needed a friend since she was new, and I wouldn't mind being that friend to her. Maybe the thought of getting a therapist would have to hold off for a few minutes. I thought as I hummed excitedly and drummed my fingers on the steering wheel. After a few minutes of humming along to the song that was

Everything gave me a new found high, but at the same time, it was stressful. Stressful in the sense that, I was scared. Scared that something bad would happen that would make Dylan betray me again, I just wanted things to continue the way they were going. In a very sweet and simple way. But I knew this universe was more fucked up than that, the universe needed to feed off our sadness. It wasn't possible for a situation to continue being the same. We just finished taking Econ class and Ava was seeing the teacher, I told her to meet me at the cafeteria when she was done. But I wanted to make one stop at the restroom first.

Deep in the darkness of my chest, I fucking need it. Slap! I gasp as the sting registers on my face. He just…slapped me and…I’m wet. Holy fuck. I’m really insane. “Run your mouth again and I’ll fuck you raw in the ass.” He grabs my chin with his calloused fingers and shakes me, and I swear I’m dripping into my shorts. I stop fighting for a second and he uses the time to release my wrists, grab my hair, and ram me against the stairs. I yelp and my hands shoot for him in a mad act of defense, but it’s too late. He’s already ripping at my shorts. I kick my legs in the air, fighting with everything I have. I fight like I’ve never fought before until I actually believe that I want out of this, that this isn’t something I already agreed to by not saying that damn word. Even in my madness, my strengt

    AMELIA. Dylan. The one who’s currently cutting off my air supply while looming from behind me is none other than Dylan. I’d intended to kick and claw, to yell at him so he’d let go, but not only is he confiscating most of my oxygen by grabbing my throat, he’s also yanked both of my wrists behind my back and imprisoned them. My phone has clattered to the ground and the flashlight outlines dark shadows. Mine and his. We’re gigantic on the wall across from us, like some beasts coming out at night to let their instincts loose. If it were anyone else, they would’ve panicked at being immobilized in the dark by someone who might as well be a stranger. And while that feeling bleeds into my bloodstream, it’s not the only one. It’s not even the prominent one. The temptation I’ve been escaping my entire life burns inside me, resurrecting and rising from the ashes like a phoenix. “Dy…lan…” I manage through the small air opening he’s allowing me. And I know he is allowing it, because if he

She's always like this anytime she's leaving the house, especially when dad is not around. “I worry, you've been kind of withdrawn lately and I don't know what's wrong.” She said, touching my cheeks and my heart starts beating fast. Does she know about the choking sound I make each night? Does she know about the nightmares I have? That would bother her more, or did she know about Dylan?“Mum, I'm fine. It's just school stress really, I promise.” I told her and she looks at me for a while. “You do know that you can tell me anything right?” She asked me and I nodded. “Of course mum, I know. You'll be late for the show, come on.” I told her and hugged her. “You're my priority, I don't care about anything else, you're all I care about you know. So if you're not okay, I can ditch the show.” She told me, patting my hair from behind. “Mum, I promise you, I'm fine. Okay?” I told her an

    DYLAN. My teammate licks his lips. “She reminds me of those thick porn actresses. Do you think she makes those erotic-asfuck noises like them?” In my mind, I’m jumping across the table, grabbing him by the neck, then bashing his head against the floor. I really wasn't okay with hearing him speak that way about Amelia. But I had to keep my cool. Once, twice, until blood oozes from a crack in his forehead. Then I go on until he loses some of his teeth and starts wailing like a fucking bitch. In reality, I remain still. I don’t even reach for my drink. Any change in my body language will betray my thoughts. I’ve learned not only to conceal my emotions but also to never allow anyone to read them. Thinking about inflicting violence, imagining the whole scene and its repercussions, is what helps me to cope. Not now, though. His words still ring in my head. The fact that he’s picturing Amelia in a porn scenario and fucking stereotyping about it burns hot in my veins. I need payback be

    DYLAN.Coming to The Grill used to be normal. In here, I’m the center of attention and I also enjoy the mindlessness of it. The feelings that reach me from everyone around me are a much-needed distraction from my ominous ones. Coming from my background and being my grandparents’ favorite charity case has forced me to turn off my ability to feel. Or rather, to stop relating to others and only watch them from a clinical view. When I’m with my group of friends, I can decompress by observing them and letting their emotions wash over me. Like Damon, for instance. He’s loud, crude, and only thinks about getting his dick wet and being drafted into the NFL. He’s currently telling the girls his famous story of when he killed a bear with his dad. And while I’d usually relisten to his ego-retelling and even encourage him to go on, I’m in no mood for anything. Correction. I’m in the mood for kidnapping Amelia and chasing her. Or fucking her against the hood of her car—or mine. But that’s not

Just when I’m about to pull away from him, an annoying voice filters in our direction.“If it isn’t Amelia.” I push Dylan away as Valerie and her minions and a few others from their exclusive club saunter by us. Damn it. Damn it. The last thing I want is to be seen in Dylan’s company by this band of thieves. They’ll never let me live it down and will make a whole big case about how he’s out of my league and blah, blah, blah. “Val,” Dylan greets her with ease. But at least he’s not trying to touch me. She raises her brows at me. “You aim big.” “Don’t you have some people to torture or make their lives miserable?” She smiles. “Maybe.” “Yours included, Amelia,” One of her minions screeches. “Go take a hike, Bee.” “It’s Bree!” Valerie inches toward me and whispers so only I can hear her, “Careful what you get yourself into.

Because I want it to continue. No. I actually want another scene like in that room where I’ll be on the receiving end this time. Or maybe it can start like in the forest and end like just now. I still have him in the palm of my hands so I can ask for it, I think so… I frantically shake my head. What the hell is wrong with me? Is there some loose screw in there? Instead of finally leaving me alone, Dylan exits the locker room first, saying he’ll wait for me outside. He leaves me panting and hornier than when he first walked in. It takes everything in me to put on jeans and throw on a shirt and my leather jacket before I go out. The late afternoon chill assaults my sensitive skin as I head to the parking lot.

"Because it’s you.” “That’s not an answer.” I retorted.“It’s a perfectly adequate one.” “I just can’t wrap my mind around the fact that you want all this depravity with me when you have the entire campus at your beck and call.” my voice trembled as I spoke softly.“The entire campus don’t make me horny as fuck after a newbie blowjob. You do. Also, the entire campus don't make me hard as fuck when I look at them.

Does hearing me say 'NO' to you bruises your superstar ego?” “This isn’t about my ego, it’s about yours.” “Oh, give me a break.” I rolled my eyes, crossing my arms.“It’s true.” “Are you telling me that if I say no, you’ll leave me alone?” “No.” “There.
