The grip on my phone tightens as my eyes travel around my empty house. I'm still trying to absorb what's happening when my phone rings. When I look at the caller, I'm so surprised that I almost drop the phone to the ground. Drake. Inhaling a deep breath, I lean back against the front door before slumping onto the ground, my legs giving up on me. I press the button, answering the call. "Hi, Ches," Drake's voice echoes in my ear, and suddenly, I feel like crying. I miss him so much. I want to pour out all that's inside my heart, all the pain I'm feeling right now. I want to tell him about his best friend whom I've fallen in love with. But the words won't come out, stuck by the lump in my throat. How am I going to tell him? Prince has just broken my heart into pieces, all over again. "Hey," I say, my voice hoarse. "What's with the voice?" Drake playfully asks. "Still sleepyhead!" I let out a fake small laugh. "Yeah. Kind of." He laughs. "I wish I could lie down on my bed now, but
The moment when I broke down in front of Alex yesterday is still fresh in my mind as I'm walking down the hallway of my campus this afternoon. I guess that I just didn't have any other person whom I could think of helping me let out all the emotions building inside me. The person I should be angry at isn't even here for me to yell at. I just finished all my classes today, but these days, going home seems to be my least favorite option because it makes me feel even more lonely than I already am. But as I don't have any other choices, my legs bring me closer to the gate of the campus. On the way there, I sneak a look at the football field and into the hallway to the jocks' locker room, which is what I've been doing recently. Then I stop dead in my track. My breath catches in my throat, and I feel tears pooling in my eyes as I see the person whom Austin is talking to in front of the football team's locker room. Prince. I blink. Once. Twice. And then, I stop. I'm afraid that he'll be
I can't believe what I just heard. Drake ... Drake is the father of the baby? It can't be ... "What the hell are you talking about, Prince?" Drake sounds as shocked as I am. However, I can't differentiate whether it's because he really doesn't know what Prince is talking about or because he doesn't expect to get caught. I don't know what I should believe anymore. Prince scoffs. "Come on. Don't act like you don't fucking know anything about this," he bites out. "No, what the fuck -- " Prince grabs a lamp standing on the cabinet and throws it harshly onto the ground, breaking it, the sound of the bulb shattered on the floor echoing in the room. And that makes me almost scream. Quickly, I cover my mouth in my hand. Prince looks murderous. His eyes are bloodshot red. He's shaking with rage, like his blood is boiled. "I didn't want to believe it either, but how dare you deny it. I saw it. I fucking saw it!' he roars. Drake can only stare at him, openmouthed. He seems to lose the abil
I can't believe what Prince just said to me about Cheska. Fucking bastard. How dare he did that to my sister .I’m trying my best to refrain myself from beating him into a bloody pulp, because at least he deserves to get an explanation. He said about a video. The fuck? As far as I remember, everyone had already left the moment Gia came out of my room. And did he just say that I made her drunk? That I trapped her? My blood is boiled, and I feel like I'm about to explode. This is all because of that woman. Filthy liar. Snake. Poison. "You clueless asshole," I bite out, glaring at him, while he's still eyeing me with such coldness. "You really wanna know what happened that night?" I scoff, knowing that he won't take this information lightly. Eight months ago ... I always thought that my best friend's girlfriend was pretty, but I wondered why he thought that she was so special. Sure, she was the sexiest and most wanted girl in our college, and such a talented dancer as well. But I n
Cheska Andrew watches me as I sniffle, wiping a tear from my eye. I take a deep breath, still trying to calm myself down after what happened at the apartment. "I'm sorry," I say. "I shouldn't be doing this." But the tears just won't stop flowing. Prince words cut deep through my heart. I've never thought that he was only using me for revenge. It's like the person whom I used to know never exists. The one whom I love and loves me back. The one who always makes me feel contented and safe in his arms. I've never thought either that Drake would have done something so horrible to his best friend. I guess that I just have nowhere else to go now. I don't think that I can face either of them. Andrew seems to worry about me. He has stopped the carina secluded area of the street. "It's okay, Cheska," he says. "I don't know what your problem is. But you can just let it out. I'm here, if you need someone to talk to." I just look down, feeling ashamed of myself. This is the second time that o
Prince My mind keeps playing the scenes when Cheska cried, over and over again. I think that I’m going crazy – the shit inside me fucking hurts. It’s so much better to take a full physical blow than to feel something like this. It’s been torturing me for the past two weeks, but right now, it feels ten times worse when I’m not blinded by Drake’s and Gia’s betrayal anymore. Do you think that it didn’t hurt me when I had to ignore you, Cheska? Do you think that it didn’t fucking hurt when I just turned the other way while you hugged me to sleep from behind? I couldn’t even look at your face. My mind was filled with their betrayal, and one look at you would mess it up in an instant. Do you think that I didn’t miss your delicate touch, your warmth and your love for me? That night in the club, I was so lost because I missed you so fucking much -why the hell did Henry call you if it hadn’t been for me? I didn’t even realize it when another girl sat on my lap, and my stupid drunken brain ev
Cheska Morning has come. The clock on the wall indicates 7 AM. And I still haven’t got any sleep at all. How could I? With Andrew curling behind me, caging me. He’s now outside the room, probably taking a shower after locking the door so that I can’t go anywhere. I look around, hugging my knees on the bed. There’s no other way out besides the door. There’s no window where I can see sunlight coming through. This is like a prison, making me feel like I have a claustrophobic even though it’s never in my record. Andrew opens the door, making me startled. He’s only wearing shorts, a towel around his neck, his hair still wet. He glances at me, making me look down in fear before he reaches for his clothes inside the closet. The moment I look back up at him, he’s already dressed in a pair of jeans and a green polo shirt. My heart leaps as I’m hoping that he’ll be leaving soon. There must be something that I can do while he’s away. He grabs his backpack and slings it across his shoulder be
Prince Andrew ends up in the hospital. And I end up spending the night at the police station. That bastard is fucking lucky that I didn’t kill him, because before I could do so, three policemen came to stop me. I remember roaring like a mad person when they pulled me away from Andrew, who was already bleeding to death when the emergency response team from the hospital took him with the stretcher. My hands shaking, I look down and bury my face in them. What the hell am I doing here? I shouldn’t be here right now. I should be with her. Cheska. Cheska. Cheska. She’s the only thing in my mind now. I can’t imagine what she’s feeling at the moment. She must be scared, not knowing that to do. She must be broken. Hopeless. Alone. To settle the matters with the police, I’ve called my lawyer, whom I know from a friend I worked with for one of the influential companies I did my project with. He’s good, so I expect that the police can give me some dispensation once they find out that Andrew
