|•ZEKE•|I should have known allowing Raleigh on my bike was a bad idea and somehow, I end up with her in a bar, well she had practically pleaded to hang out with me and I, not wanting to hurt her feelings had foolishly accepted.Now here I am, downing down my sixth cup of tequila and I am already feeling dizzy. I am a lightweight drinker especially when it comes to tequila.. I feel my eyes rolling and brain becoming all fuzzy."Zeks you are getting drunk way too fast, is anything on your mind" Raleigh asks me and I stare at her, my vision a blurry mess."Why do you care huh! You are only gonna leave me again" my words are slurred and I hiccup. I pour myself another shot again, guzzling it down in less than two seconds."Oh Zeks... You know I will never leave you... Everything that happened was a mistake okay, we can work this out" I squint at her and see that she is smirking but I'm too fvcking wasted to give a meaning to it."She left just like you di....d, she to...ld me to fv...
|•BLISS•|"He fvcking ruined my picture perfect fantasy!"The words are out of my mouth before I can even process what I meant, and I can't help but ask myself; what the fvck was my picture perfect fantasy and how did Zeke ruin it?. But then again, this dude has no fvcking right to come here and cast blames on me.Imagine him saying I'm the reason why Zeke is back in Raleigh's hands. Pfft! Unbelievable.. Does he not know that Zeke is professionally stupid where Raleigh is involved?"I think you should leave now Coleman" I hear Ava say and I turn to stare at Cole gauging his expression. He looks downcast, hurt even. I sigh. It is not my fault he came here to haul insults at me because his 'dear friend' is so miserable without me. I huff inwardly... Sarcasm, does he think he can fool me?"Yeah I think you've used up your stay here, you should leave Mr" Piper adds sternly and Cole turns to me with an hard glare."You had better stay far away from my friend if this is what you're going to
|•ZEKE•|The streaming rays of sunlight into the room is what wakes me up. I blink my eye repeatedly so as to get used to the blinding light, only to feel a terrible throbbing ache in my head. It is then I notice that the bed I am sleeping on isn't mine. I jolt up and I wince at the instant zap of pain that I feel at the intensity of my sudden move.Painfully and gingerly, I step down from the bed and take a swift look around... The room is no where near familiar to me. It is painted in pink and there is a movable wardrobe at a corner. There is a reading table too beside the bed and the shoes at a corner are... Ladies shoes! Just where the fvck am I!The door open swiftly and my eyes widens in shock as I see Raleigh entering with a steaming mug on her hand."Ra. . . Raleigh?"She beams at me "you are awake... Good morning babe"Good morning babe? What. The. Actual. Fuck!"Raleigh what is this?" I ask her, my head almost spinning.. What am I doing here? Heck why am I even here.Raleig
|•BLISS•|'Wake up all ye sleepy headFvck off that bed lazy ass..Behold the morning sun so bright...You'd be damned if y'all don't rise and shine'"Fvck!" I cuss covering my ears to Ava's stupid voice ringing out from the outer room."Lockwood!!!" Bella yells in frustration as she springs up from the bed racing outside. I chuckle when I hear Ava's scream and then the banging off the door. I'm sure Bella just hit her with a pillow or whatsoever she finds.After what happened yesterday, Ava had decided to sleep over obviously because of the fight with her sister but she had told the girls otherwise, saying she just wanted to stay with Chloe. I breathe in a sigh as I remember the events of yesterday. From Cole's lashing out at me to my telling the girls my story.I smile... A genuine smile at the way they had acted yesterday. How could I have thought they would ask me to live, how could I have thought they would hate me afterwards... I was only being a coward by not telling them... By
|•BLISS•|"We need to talk Blaze" Zeke icy tone sends shivers down my spine and I quickly remove my hands which are placed on his chest.I gulp as he pulls me away from the lecture hall, different thoughts running through my head. What does he want to say? What if Raleigh already found out about me and told him. I cringe at the thought... It can't be.. It won't be.Zeke finally stops when we get to the love garden of the school. The place was almost empty except for a few number of final year students as it seems seated on Slavs either studying or doing random stuff.Why did he bring me here? What does he wanna say? I almost shriek out loud when his hands pull me down to the empty slab and that's when I realize that he is already sitting. Take a deep breath Bliss, you can do this. Well, maybe not. . because the keen way he is staring at me as I can observe from the corner of my eyes is enough to make my face redden like a fucking tomato.I breathe in a sigh when I finally decide to ta
|•BLISS•|If I had expected anything, Zeke kissing me right in front of twenty three players would be the least of all. My heart is beating so fast when he releases me that I'm sure it would be heard over the whistle and cheering. I peek at him from my lowered eyes and I see that he is smiling down at me.What the fvck!"Let's go babe" Zeke says and drapes his hands around me before urging me forward."Babe?" I ask cautiously raising my brows at him and he winks at me."Yes.. Babe" he drawls a reply and I find my eyes almost popping out. Is it the drinks? Or is he a bipolar?"So what's the fuss and celebration about huh?" I ask deciding to let his strange attitude slide. Zeke gives me a strange look before shaking his head."You still don't know what all this is all about?""No, am I supposed to?""Are you seriously from this planet? Because each time you keep giving me reasons to doubt" he mocks playfully and I chuckle."That bad huh? Stop being an asshole and tell me""Okay" he stop
|•BLISS•|".....And then she actually let the lizard loose on me! You've got to see my face then!" We burst into another round of laughter as Mr Kian finished telling us probably the tenth story of the day. After our little charade outside, Brittany as Mrs Kian insisted I call her ushered us inside, scolding Zeke in the process for letting me stay in the sun for long.The table was already set when I entered as if they knew we were coming, Mr Kian or Darell was already seated tapping his foot endlessly. Brittany had hit him playfully and told to stop acting like a baby and welcome their guest which is me. Eadulf Zeke's brother just kept staring at me curiously without saying a word, I still don't know why though.Lunch is over now and Darell has been filling us in on his many failed attempts when he tried to get Brittany's attention during highschool and even though I'm having the best time of my life here, I can't help but feel jealous.. Why was my life never balanced? Why didn't I
|•BLISS•|"Okay, so practically you are dating NYU's quarterback eh!" Chloe exclaims as we sit on the carpet for the dinner. After Zeke and I left his family house, he had dropped me off at my doorstep and even gave a goodbye kiss, I couldn't have been more elated but rather unfortunately Chloe saw us kissing and she had told the girls who all insisted I give them the full details. Sly nosy girls."Well it would seem so" I reply to Chloe's question with a shrug."You've gat to be kidding me! And you are shrugging it off like it is the normal thing to do in the entire universe!" Piper chips in."Wait... I still don't get why you are all excited over this""Like you aren't" I hear Bella mutter and I glare at her. Of course I'm happy, happy that I can live a normal life and date the guy I love like every other teenager would.. Bit their excitement is what I don't get. Is it at the fact that I finally decided to leave my shell or the fact that I'm in a relationship with the school's n
|•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
