|•ZEKE•|In a situation like this, Cole would tell me — "guy you are so fucked up" and if Brianna my sister is here too, her first statement would be —"Big bro. . you are a fucking prick"I agree I'm fucked up, totally fucked up. . why did I say that in the first place? Why did I ask her to date me? Of course my answer is clear. The bet and Raleigh. Yeah I get it. . I'm stupid, it's been established since I saw Raleigh and I couldn't gather my shit and I just had to drag Blaze into this. That's how fucked up of a fool I am.I pay my bills and drag my feet to class. . the rest of the day goes by in a blur with me half listening and half dozing off in each classes. Thankfully I don't come across Raleigh or Blaze or Ava. I don't even know how I'm going to react if I see them.Classes are over by four and I slowly trudge down the alley to our apartment. I do not take my bike to campus because the distance from school to the quarters where my apartment is located is somewhat trek-able. The
|•BLISS•|Classes are over and I lay down in my room. Bella and the girls aren't home yet so I can enjoy the serene silence of the apartment for a while. My mind keeps going back to Ava's little confession about her sister and Zeke. Raleigh slept with Zeke's uncle. . the only thing that comes to mind is the possibility that his uncle might have been one of my 'client' too and if this is possible Zeke would hate me. . he wouldn't want to have anything to do with me.The thought alone has my heart gnawing in hurt. . . it scares me. What if he finds out. . what if Ava —the only friend I can say I have in the whole of the campus finds out who I am. . everything is at risk.. No one would want to associate themselves with me.Who would? I am a fucking whore for heaven's sake. My mistake. . I started forgetting the rules. . I started wishing for more. . every now and then I start to think this would be over. . but it never would be. . I'm bound to this life till I go gray. . I'm sorry mum.
|•BLISS•|Here is the thing about feelings; it fucks shit up —Literally it fucks up all your senses of reasoning. . . leaves you with only one option or rather leaves you with only one irrational option and you have no choice but to act on it.. It's really fvcked up.It's been two weeks since Sandy warned me about Zeke. . two weeks since I tried to avoid him.. By leaving as early as possible every morning and hiding beside Ava during classes. It's also been two weeks since I realized that I might have feelings for Zeke or at least that's what Ava think it is. Well if the constant yearning to see him at least once can be called feelings. The irrational option; it is Friday evening and here I am standing at Zeke's door contemplating whether to knock or not. . 'just this once' I tell myself.. I will see him just the once and put him out of my damn mind. I take a deep breath and raise my to knock when the door suddenly jerks open.I step back, startled. I glance up to see a brown haired
|•ZEKE•|You know that feeling of wanting something so bad it hurts. . Wanting it so bad, you ll'd do anything to get it. .That's how I have felt about Blaze for the past two weeks. My want for her is like an aching that goes deep into my belly. I want her in the most feral way possible. Seeing her in my room now is like a soothing to my aching soul, I do not want to know why she is here. Her hazel-green orbs staring at me guardedly with her blazing red hair that I love so much falling past her shoulders. She bits her lip and I feel the reaction as my member twitches in response. Oh fuck! The sizzling attraction between us cannot be missed, and has her eyes gaze at me hungrily, I do the one thing I have always wanted to do. I close the distance between us and crush my lips on hers and grasp her hair, she aches her body to mine and gasps as I deepen the kiss.Her hands slide around my neck as my fingers skim up the outside of her thighs, dragging her skirt with them. I wrap her leg
|•BLISS•|Oh shit! Did he really see that? Of course he did. I immediately grab the phone and stuff it into my skirt pockets."You are not answering me Blaze, what's that?" He asks again and I gulp."Its none of your business Zeke" I reply keeping a straight face even though I am obviously shaking like a jelly fish inside. . He cannot find out like this. No. He won't even find out. Ever!"So we are back to this huh? The keep-your-nose-outta-my-business thing is what you wanna do right?""Zeke please I really have to go and I do not wanna talk about this with you or anyone" I snap and Zeke shakes his head."Yeah sure, the key is at the door you can leave" His tone is clipped and I know he is annoyed, frustrated even. What the heck have you done Bliss! You were getting along just fine and now you ruined everything with your goddamned carelessness."Zeke. ..""Why are you still here? You have a very important place to be don't you think"Wait. Why is he angry? It isn't like we are dating
|•BLISS•|"From the way you leave and arrive late at night, I'm starting to think you are a bar worker" I hear Piper say as I try to walk stealthily into the house.Fuck! She is awake.I close the door behind me and turn to her, how did I not notice that the lights were on. The 'client' I had gone to meet was an hour late and the prick did not finish with me until nine thirty."Hey Piper, you are awake" I fake a smile at her and kick of my heels."Don't evade my question Bliss, why do you always stay out late.. I mean I'm always ... We are always worried about you"Foreign words, total lies.. Nobody has ever been worried about me, no one can ever be worried about me.. Not if they know who I am, not if they know I am nothing but a demon possessed skank."We?" I ask her as I slump on the couch."Yeah we" Chloe says from the kitchen, she comes out munching on some pancakes. "Where the fuck are you coming from newbie?" She snaps and I sigh."I work late into the night.. I'm a part time wo
|•BLISS•|Professor Jo gives a quick smile as she finishes her lecture and steps out of the class. In all of my classes, I think I prefer Professor Jo better, she has the smooth way of carrying her students along which I admire.I pack my books and place it in my bag. A hand covers mine as I make to sling my backpack over my shoulders. Whoops! I almost forgot Zeke is here.. Almost.. Because I cannot deny the fact that I felt his presence beside me throughout.. I mean no one can miss his manly scent and that subtle breathing of his."Hey" he smiles at me and collects my backpack from me before slinging it on. He grabs his own with the other hand."You can't carry the two together" I start to protest but Zeke just places his hand over my shoulder and nudges me forward."You don't doubt the abilities of a football player, Blaze" he says, winking at me in his most Zeke-like way."Being a football player doesn't make you capable enough to drag two backpacks round campus Zeke" I counter."Y
|•BLISS•|Few minutes later, Zeke pulls up in the parking lot of.... "An amusement park!" I shriek and I almost fall at the intensity of my own excitement.I get down from the park and so does Zeke, he unstraps his helmet and also mine then he grins at me. "You've never been to an amusement park?" He asks in amusement and I nod bobbling my head like a kindergarten kid."Woah! You sure you aren't an alien being? Probably dropped off another planet entirely? I mean who has never been to an amusement park?""A certain girl named Bliss Carnap, come on come buy us the tickets" I tell Zeke with so much enthusiasm. I am too excited to even dwell on the fact that I lost most of my childhood to staying in an hellhole called basement that I couldn't even live like the normal little kids.Zeke grabs my hands and pulls us to the ticket stand. "I might end up bringing you to here every free time I have to see you smile like that" he states matter-of-factly and I find my face heating up as he stare
|•BLISS•|A smile spreads across my lips as I stare at the psych 101 assignment given to us by Professor Anya. It is to write a short essay on 'Who am I'. Dad allowed me resume my classes a week and a half ago, before he went on a trip and promised to be back tomorrow. Well, it is been two weeks since the incident, and a lot has happened in between those two weeks. Like Zeke going for his first game since he became the quarterback of his team and bringing home victory, practically he is the hero in the eyes of NYU students especially the girls.Hey don't look at me like that, a girl can get jealous can't she? Other things happened too, like Sandy and Patty getting sentenced to fifteen years in jail for child trafficking and Ryder sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of Corey and Dad gained custody of the Phillip's children and enrolled them in schools. When i had asked him why he did that, he had said even though Patty murdered Mum.. He still wouldn't leave her children hom
|•ZEKE•|I gasp as they push them to their feet, their hands are tied behind them. I clench my fist when I see he is one of 'em. I raise my brow at Trigger my eyes asking how he managed to get Ryder of all people. He shrugs and smiles.For days, I've been contemplating on what to do to Ryder when I see him. Break his legs maybe, gorge out his eyes.... Or even snap off his neck. But seeing him now, I'm starting to have mixed feelings about this. There was only one reason why I trusted him even though I hated him.The fact that he looks so much like my dad... Same thing is holding me back now."See we are all complete now... Can you get a seat for me?" Trigger says to the lady who I assume is Patty. The lady in question shakily grabs a wooden chair and places it before Trigger. I stare on, wondering what he wants to do.The whole place is silent for a while except for the sound of our breathing."You know... This kind of looks awkward as it is... What do you say, should I let you go huh
. . . . . . . .And so, that's how i got here... Dad and Zeke are out front."You!" Patricia screams, her eyes widening in shock. I give a sly smile."Yeah, me... Hello Patricia Ramona Phillips" I say with smirk."Mum... Isn't she the demon possessed girl you always locked up in the basement?" Maria asks staring pointedly at me."Hey, you do remember me afterall... The name is Bliss Carnap... And yes I'm the girl your mum locked in a basement and tagged as demon possessed" I say with an air quote on the demon possessed."But here is something you should know.... The only demon possessed in this room is your bitch of a mother who killed her own sister and sold the daughter off to prostitution at age thirteen!" I add.Gabe and Maria both gasps as they turn to Patricia. "Mum?""Do not believe any fucking thing she is saying... You can't believe a whore!" She says panicked.I roll my eyes and throw down the documents that was exchanged between She and Sandy. "Isn't that enough proof that
"They call me Trigger" Lúis very deep voice booms in the tiny room and Sandy can't help but shiver in utmost fear. She blinks rapidly."Um... I don't think... We've met before have we?" She says trying to calm her voice, even when she is cowering with fear. "Yeah we haven't... Though I wouldn't wish we would have if I were you" Trigger says flatly."What do you want?"Trigger taps his fingers on the table. "You know if I hadn't drawn a line already... I will very much like you... Straight to the point... That's how I like it" He pauses. "Anyway, why I'm here?... I believe you have something of mine and I would like for it to be returned" Sandy blanches, her knuckles gripping the edge of her chair tightly, her face already a shade of stricken ash. "What...what... What do you mean?" She stammers."Pyaar.. Bliss Pyaar.. I want her back" Trigger bellows, hazel-green eyes blazing.Pyaar! She knew it! She fvcking knew he is here for Pyaar. That bitch has been doing nothing but bringing b
Lúis taps his feet endlessly on the floor, his hands presses together as he waits. He has never been this restless before, but as he watched his daughter fall limp in his hands, he felt it... The fear he had always dreaded. What if she dies just like Feenah? She can't die...She is the main reason why he has kept himself sane and alive.. Because he knew one day he would get her back from those bastards that killed his Feenah. He will make them suffer.... Suffer just like they had made his daughter suffer.Lúis couldn't believe it when the doctor told him what they had done to his daughter. Inverse hypnotherapy! They had fvcking wiped all memories of him away from her head. They had wiped away the happy memories all three of 'em had shared. And like Larry's son had said.. They had sold her off to prostitution, his daughter had fvcked men since she was thirteen, both young and old because of them. Lúis clenches his fists tightly and closes his eyes, trying to surpress the rage that was
"Dad is not gonna leave us again, is he?" My four years old self ask my mother curiously as we enter our home. We had just come back from a trip to the fun fair at the park. Dad doesn't stay with us, but he always come back. We had a video call with him yesterday and he told me to wait for him.. He said he is gonna come back, and he is not gonna leave again. I love my Father a lot, anytime he comes back from his trips, he would bring with him my favorite chocolates. Dad doesn't call me by my first name, he likes to call me 'Feenah' which is my middle name and also my mum's name."Of course Bliss, Dad isn't gonna leave again" Mum replies as an answer to my question. I grin widely at her and skip happily into the house with mum laughing behind.But I guess our happiness was meant to be short lived, because soon after we entered, three men entered forcefully. Mum and I were sitted on the couch watching my favorite cartoon when they entered. Immediately mum grabbed me and stood up.I lo
|•BLISS•|My lips are stretched into a thin smile as I step inside the house, reminiscing about everything that has happened today... Especially with Zeke.How could I have thought he would leave me? He didn't, instead he told me he loves me.He loves me. Me. Zeke fvcking Kian loves me."If you keep smiling like that, I'm going to assume you have gone insane Redhead"Redhead. I gasp in shock as my eyes snaps to the owner of that voice."Shane!" My happy mood is doubled when I see him and I find myself hurling into his hands in a warm hug."Hey redhead" he ruffles my hair and I grin up at him. It is when I see a young lady sitting beside him that I immediately release him.She should be his wife, and I just practically ogled her husband right at her front.I clear my throat and give her an apologetic smile. "Hi" I choke out."Oh this world is so cruel, why would you enter this place and ditch us all five girls for a guy that doesn't belong in our circle" Is the lady's reply t
|•ZEKE•|"Goodnight babe" I place a kiss on Blaze's forehead as she holds the doorknob. She smiles coyly at me."Goodnight" She replies and waves at me. I wave back and wait at the doorstep until I see that she is safely inside before I steer my bike back to my own apartment.As I hold the doorknob to push it open, I start to get a feeling that something is wrong somewhere, because first off the door is slightly open and from what I know Cole never makes a mistake of not closing the door fully neither does Ashton. I pull out my ever present pocket knife and hid it behind my back, then slowly I push the door and enter. My fears are confirmed when I switch the lights on amd my eyes come in contact with a man sitting cross legged on my couch, a stick of cigarette in his mouth."You are back" He says and puffs out a smoke. My eyes studies his surroundings for any sign of a weapon but I see none. Who the hell is this man?"Who the hell are you and how the fvk did you get in here""
|•ZEKE•|When I finally braced myself for Blaze's story, what I expected wasn't what I had to face. Okay maybe I wasn't expecting anything because of course I didn't even know what to make of it, but hearing Bliss talk about how brutal and savage her whole life has been snapped up something inside of me.Rage. Rage with a capital 'R', I didn't even know I could get annoyed to the extent of wanting to find the bastards that made her life miserable and finish them on the spot. Well, I think I know... It is the kind of Rage I feel when I think about my parents... How they were murdered before my very eyes, and how I will crush those murderers in between my fingers into flickers of dust as if they never existed. I clench my fists tightly as I listen to her talk, her voice clear but distant. How can humans be as inhumane and callous as Bliss' relatives especially her aunt. Selling her off to a prostitution company (or what else would I call Sandy's Bar?) At age thirteen. She was fvcking
