IvyI decided that maybe I shouldn't stay home again. I need some fresh air and most importantly I need some to talk to…someone I could go shopping with. I need Jade.But Jade has a test this morning.I grunt in frustration.Mom and Clifford never found out what happened in school that day. I never told them and neither did Caden. They probably think I'm sick.Clifford has come to check up on me a few times to know if I'm okay but mom really wouldn't care less. I just told him I was having bad cramps.He seemed to have believed me cause he bought me six different tampons and a whole tray of snacks.That would have made me feel so much better if I weren't so heartbroken.I really do need someone to talk to.I pick at my fingers thinking of what to do next. And after a while I had to choose between two options. One, I go to school, attend one class and then skip the rest of the school day with her or two, stay home and hope she comes over.Both seem like ridiculous ideas but it's worth
IvyIt's only been 24 hours since the fallout between Aria and I and the whole school is losing their shit.I can't seem to find Aria but I have a feeling that Caden might have something to do with it.I sigh hoping for a good day. I let my hand guide my pencil as I draw the handsome figure on the back of my notebook. It's only after I've sketched out the face properly with each intricate detail that I realize that I'm drawing Elias.A pang of sadness hits my chest in an unusual way. I drop the pencil on my book not wanting to complete it.Things have been a bit…quite between Elias and I. I guess with the things happening around me I've sort of pushed him away.He hasn't confronted me about it, which makes me feel even worse.“Hey Ivy whatcha got there?”My heart skips a beat as I close the book.He peers over my head and I can feel him smiling. “Is that me?”“Well…yes”He seems to have sensed my nervousness and retracts.“Um Jade” he starts “She told me about what happened yesterday”
Ivy“They did what?” Jade exclaims.“You heard me”“Well that's shit” she says, sounding way angrier than I am.“I don't want to have to go home with him everyday, he's just…disgusting”“Mind telling me what really happened?” She asks.I huff, blowing my hair away from my face.“It's a long story”“Well I'm here to listen”“I- um-”“Hello ladies” Someone all too familiar says.“Hello Dr Caden” Jade greets.Caden flashes her a tight lipped smile and then we lock eyes.“It's time to go home” Caden says, and I feel my skin recoil.“Um maybe I should go-”“No, you can't go!” I blurtJade and Caden look at me with questionable looks on their faces.“Why not?”“Yes why not, the university has closed for the day hasn't it?”“Because we have that thing, remember?” I counter, looking at her.It takes a second for her to realize what I'm trying to catch on but when she finally does she easily tones her voice to blend in.“Oh of course the thing, that we were supposed to do now”“Yeah exactly” I
IvyI can't believe that jerk tried to kill the both of us, not that I care about him dying but still.I groan loudly and spling my bag across the room and it lands on my bed.“God I hate him so much!” I scream and sink on my bed.My phone buzzes and I search my bag for it, it's only when I see Jade's name appear on the screen that a small percentage of my anger disintegrates.“Hey babe,” she greets me as soon as I answer the phone.“Ughh hey” I respond, utterly frustrated.“Yikes, you sound like you got hit by a train”“Yeah something like that”“Give me details” she says and I'm so sure I can hear her sitting down.I roll my eyes but tell her everything. I have no idea how long I've been talking but by the time I'm done my jaw starts to hurt.“Well that's odd, it sounds like he's a little jealous”“Jealous?” I ask sincerely weirded out “why would he be jealous?”“Well I don't know it just sounds like he is…has anything weird been happening before this whole stuff”A migraine slaps m
Ivy Footsteps that aren't mom's echo on the walls. A part of me is still wondering why she's here but the other part just wants to sleep.I yearn involuntarily and I head to my bed when I hear a knock on the door.“What does she want?”I'm just about to open my door when I hear someone else's door open. Caden's door.I hear hushed mumbles with her voice as the signature written all over it.I suddenly begin to itch to see what's going on. I open my door slightly just so I can see.Of course the first thing I see is a shirtless Caden but then my eyes wander off Julissa. Her red silk pajamas in sight.She leans at the door frame in a somewhat sexy position, like the ones you'd see lingerie models do. The weird part is that it doesn't seem like she's trying to be sexy.She says something I can't decipher and Caden's eyes seem to be in lock mode as his gaze never leaves her eyes.He steps aside for her to get in as he watches her do so. She lets out a loud giggle just before the door clo
CadenMy blood boils at the thought of that boy's name. It's irritating that she's still with him.I inspect the spot that Ivy had slapped and I see a small scratch across my chest.“She really knows how to test your ego doesn't she, pretty boy?” Von mocks.“Don't start” I spit watching the scar heal and recuperate in a span of a minute.“You deserved it like always,” he presses.“Sometimes I wonder how you're my wolf”“You'd be unlucky if I wasn't” he says “seems like the cut she gave you in your ego is the only thing that hasn't healed”I raise a brow at that statement.“What's that supposed to mean”“It means genius, that you're jealous”I scoff, turning to get myself a glass of vodka.“She didn't make a dent, whatever I feel is from that damn bracelet and probably some potions she must have given me”“Be honest with yourself for once in your life will you, you sound stupid and it's hurtful to listen to”“You're the stupid one”“Says the man who can't accept the fact that he's in l
CadenAn annoying knock on my door snaps me out of my sleep. Julissa's scent oozing from the direction.Knowing her if I don't answer the door she'll keep knocking until I do.“I think you should get that”“No shit”I drag myself out of the bed reluctantly till I reach the door. I unlock the door and twist the door knob not knowing what's coming to me.“Oh hey handsome what took you so long to reach the door?” She coos.It takes awhile to process what exactly is happening but by the time my brain starts working she's already in.Her mini dress swaying from side to side.It's still dark out so I know it's way too early for any of this. But here she is sitting on my bed with a weird annoying smile on her face.I run my hands through my hair trying to find the right words to communicate just how much I want her gone.But of course none seems to come to mind so I settle for the question instead.“Julissa Fangwood, what the hell are you doing in my room at this hour?”I hold my forehead im
IvyThe sound of Caden's door opening and I brace myself for the torturous laughter.I can almost say that I was expecting it. There's a nerve-wracking silence that comes afterwards and my ears itch to hear just what's going on. I almost break my neck trying to find something. Even just a sound.Annoyance begins to bubble in my gut.Why do I even care anyway?I rest my head back on my pillow and chant the sentence I've been telling myself since she got here.“I don't care about him, I don't like him, I don't want him”I repeat it over and over again till it seems right and I start to believe it myself.I feel my shoulders slouch and I begin to get comfortable again but I start to hear harshed mumbles and my ear perks up.I hear struggling and a loud thud and I'm beginning to get genuinely worried.What's going on in there?I catch myself almost getting out of bed but I suddenly stop myself from moving any further.“What are doing Ivy? Nothing that goes on in that room concerns you” I
