Phoebe’s POV
His gentle fingers play with the loose strands of my disheveled hair as I rest my right cheek on top of his chest, over his heart, feeling the gentle rhythmic beat.
“You know…” I lift my head from his chest slightly, instantly missing the warmth of his skin as I move away to stare into his hypnotic blue eyes, “You really know how to get a girl’s appetite back don’t you?”
He chuckles lightly and turns to check the clock on his bedside which now reads 1:00 am.
“I have my talents, what can I say?” He replies coyly.
That was indeed true.
We have been going at it for four hours straight and right now my body felt like a total train wreck although I can’t say the same for him.
“That you do…” I peck the spot right above his heart and feel the skin rising a bit quicker than usual underneath
Phoebe’s POVUnlike me, Blaze looked annoyed at the interruption but as his eyes land on top of my exposed cleavage peeking out of his shirt, he instantly pulls me off the table and hisses out, “Go get dressed, I’ll go and see who it is”I nod in haste and sprint towards the direction of the master bedroom which was thankfully away from the foyer from where the sound of footsteps was coming from.Once inside the confines of his large bedroom, I whip my head from side to side, searching for my clothes which were lying over the floor, strewn in all directions.I momentarily facepalm myself at the situation and instantly shudder thinking about this ‘unexpected visitor’.Holy shit, is it Noah by any chance?Without wasting any more time, I quickly get dressed and rush to the washroom to fix my appearance.As soon as I face the mirror, I cringe visibly when I see my disheveled s
Phoebe’s POV“Mr. Woodwards, what an unpleasant-unexpectedsurprise! Oh dear, please forgive my slip of the tongue” I say with fake cheerfulness and watch Nate’s smirk vanish from his face upon hearing the word ‘unpleasant’.Serves the asshole right!“Oh well, since Blaze Hunter spoke sohighlyof you in the event about your work, I couldn’t help but contact you” He emphasizes the word ‘highly’ and I resist the urge to hurl a hard object on his face.Tilting my eyes to the left, I eye the expensive china vase I received from an abroad client and think for a while.Would do the trick but having Jane as a witness to my display of violation won’t be the greatest idea.I knew that Nate was toying with me by bringing up Blaze’s name. If he wants to play a game, so be it!“Ah, Blaze Hunter&h
*Warning-Contains triggering content about self-harm and suicidal ideation*Phoebe’s POV“No, no, no, no” My hands clutch my hair painfully, almost pulling them from my head as I absorb the scene in front of me.Crimson red blood coated the entire floor around her as shreds of broken glass pierced inside her skin. Without paying any heed to the mess, I kneel on the floor beside her and pick up her face from the floor to rest it on my shoulder.“Ava, no, no, no. Don’t do this to me, no” My teeth start chattering as shivers run down my spine when I feel her cold body against my skin. With shaky hands, I remove the glass shards covering her, some of them prick my fingers and instantly blood starts oozing out of the wounds. But nothing matters.Nothing matters…NOTHING
*Warning -Contains triggering content relating to suicidal ideation*Phoebe’s POVBefore I can land another slap on his pathetic face, a pair of arms wrap around my torso, preventing me from doing it.“Shit! Pheebs, control!” I hear Kyle say behind my back as I struggle to free myself from his hold.“Who the fuck called this asshole here?! He doesn’t deserve to see her. It’s his entire fault!” I shriek out, not caring who heard me.“Wait, what?” Kyle says unsurely and as his arms loosen around me for a fractional second, I use that opportunity to free myself from his hold and charge towards Noah again, who’s staring at me with utter shock.Before I can grab hold of him, a familiar pair of arms wrap around me in a deathlike grip as I bawl my eyes out in frustration.Oh for fuck’s sake“Stop,
Phoebe’s POV“Your times up, sweetie”I break out of my daze and turn behind to see a middle-aged nurse hovering behind me, holding a metal tray containing various injections. I cringe at the sight of the numerous syringes and nod my head before glancing at my unconscious best friend for the last time.I exit the glass space and just like every time, I pause in front of the reception desk maintaining the ICU unit and ask one of the duty doctors, “Is her vitals ok?”The now-familiar doctor looks at me with the same pitying eyes and assures me that she’s recovering. But for some inexplicable reason, I find his words hard to believe.If she was indeed doing ok, then why isn’t she conscious yet?Just like always, I nod my head and exit the dark bleak interiors of the ICU room. My hands push past the polished wooden double doors as I walk out.As soon as I’m out, I e
Phoebe’s POV I stare at the TV listlessly just to feel the silent void that keeps on nagging me about all the things that have been going on. Honestly, with the way things escalated over the last three days, I don’t think I’ve ever had the time to just sit down and think about it all thoroughly, and not that I’m doing it, I feel like bawling my eyes out. For fuck’s sake, I almost lost my best friend! The mere thought of it brings fresh tears to my eyes. As much as I want to steer that image out of my head, I can’t. It’s like someone hard-wired it inside my brain. The vision of her inside her house, lying like a carcass with blood surrounding her… I shake my head to get rid of all those painful thoughts. Ava was hurting. She was hurting so much. My mind drifts back to all those times when she would cut herself because it felt euphoric to her and unfortunately, I can relate to that feeling. Both of us were self-destruct
Phoebe’s POVHe’s right. I feel guilty because I wasn’t a good friend. I shouldn’t be a good friend to Ava because I’m guilty. I shouldn’t feel obligated to help her because I feel guilt. I should be there for her because she’s my bloody best friend and I fucking love her.And suddenly it dawns on me;Blazeis the one who gave methispiece ofadvice. I don’t know what the fuck happened with Andres and honestly, I don’t even care. All I know is that, despite my doubts and confusion about Blaze, he has always been there by my side, often defending me when needed. This increases my respect towards him tenfold as I look at him with gratitude.“Thank you, Blaze. You’re right. It’s just that I feel so fucked and helpless. All my life, it’s been Ava, holding on to me in my worst days. It has always been her who has helped m
Phoebe’s POV“Are you out of your mind?” He menacingly whispers through his gritted teeth and goosebumps cover my skin when I see his pupils dilate with anger.Fuck you and your stupid loud mouth Phoebe!“I, uh-h, Blaze-e please, you’re scaring-g me” I stutter with fear and watch his blue eyes soften when he realizes his behavior.“What on fucking earth compelled you to say something as stupid asthat?” He says with a groan and rubs the sleep off his eyes.“I-uh, I met a guy in the hallway of Ava’s condominium yesterday. I swear, he reminded me of you so much. Both of you look a lot alike, even your eyes! You both have the same shade of Egyptian blue eyes and facial features except he has blond-brown type hair or something in between. I’m not so sure…”You lying bitch! You literally ate that man with your eyes a
