(BRAD’S POV)

He was barely standing straight on his two feet when I gave him another kick that sent him reeling backwards and he cursed as his back hit the wall bringing down a hung painting with his body.

I rushed for him on the ground, anger throbbing in my veins as I grabbed his collar and propped him up on the wall before connecting my fist with the side of his jaw.

“It’s a fight in here guys!” Someone called and soon the room became crowded. But I did not care. I wanted to hurt this guy as much as I could. He was on the ground now groaning with blood from his nose and mouth. I raised my fist again but someone pulled me off him.

It was Henry and he was holding me very tightly to himself.

“Bro! What the hell! Calm down! What’s going on here?! I didn’t even know you were around!” Henry was saying all sorts of things as he struggled to keep me still in place.

I was still struggling because I wanted to hurt that guy some more but then I remembered Henry, and I turned to him angrily .

Thank God Brad showed up! I hope he doesn’t get into any trouble for beating the guy up because obviously he was protecting Bella before something terrible happened but you know people filmed the fight and he could get in trouble and suspended off the team for a bit which won’t go over with his dad

    (BRAD’S POV) “Nah! Hell No dude!” Rico, Henry’s cousin said as he shook his head and tried to close the door he had only held open for some seconds. His eyes had initially been wearing a smile when he saw Henry but immediately he saw Bella, his expression changedz “Rico Please.” Henry begged using his foot to hold the door open. “My wife is in there. Why the fuck are you bringing a dead girl over to my house? Are you crazy?” Rico said angrily as he came out and closed the door behind him after pushing Henry backwards. “She’s not dead! She’s only drunk!” I said immediately. Rico stayed unmoving with his eyes just watching Bella as she lay in my arms . “Please Rico, we don’t have anywhere else to go. We would be in so much trouble if we go to anyone else for help.” Henry begged. Bella started muttering to herself and that seemed to make Rico feel better about it. “You owe me big time. You know what that means.” Rico said as he signaled us to follow him. “He wants some ca

    (ISABELLA’S POV) I was not sure of what woke me up. Matter of fact, I was not sure if it was the banging pain in my head or if I just started feeling that after waking up.I was sleeping on one side of my body and after opening my eyes, I turned around. There Brad sat in a chair with his dark eyes solely fixed on me.I gasped in reaction and his finger quickly flew to his lips telling me to keep quiet. I slowly sat up in bed and pinched myself to be sure I was awake.That hurt!(I should cut my nails when I have the chance)“How-What am I- what are you doing here?”! I finally settled on a question.“You-““Ow!” I groaned with my hand on my forehead cutting him off from his explanation. “What’s wrong?” He asked flying to my side immediately.“Just a really really bad head ache.” I said still squirming in pain.“Okay. I have painkillers for you. You need to take just one.” He instructed me carefully as if he was talking to a baby.I nodded and took it before taking down my water bott

Not just any boy, Brad Johnson.I had now changed in to a big shirt and we were both seated on the bed so we didn’t have to speak too loudly in case any one heard us.I never imagined that alcohol would be so strong to me knock me out that way. I only had a glass and since I woke up, I’ve been feeling like I’m in a dream. How else would you explain this? Brad was the one who brought me home, to my own room and then he sat here and watched me while I slept.It was like all the anger i felt was suddenly washed away and I wasn’t angry with him any more. “You wanted a chance to explain yourself.” I had to start speaking because I could so easily get lost in his eyes. “I do.” He said and then after a pause, “Then I guess I have to start from the beginning.”I shrugged. “I don’t mind.” I said and then I realized that I may be too selfish. “If you’re too tired then we don’t have to talk now.”He shook his head immediate

I cupped her face quickly with my hand and leaned in to kiss her back . This time I was more needy and demanding from the kiss. I depended it by biting her lower lips gently and slipping my tongue in to her mouth when she let out a moan.Her tongue found mine and I enjoyed the way she tasted. My hands circled around her waist pulling her closer to me while her own hands traveled down my back and moved in a slow rhythm on my body.I sighed in content feeling satisfaction and ignited want from her touches. As I pulled her closer to my body and on to my lap while her hands were wrapped around me, she moaned in a muffled tone . I was kissing her deeply and with every want in my body but it d

Later.” Dave said as he put his phone away.He turned to me squinting his eyes and then he smiled at me causing my heart to ache at his beautiful face.He put his hand around my waist and pulled me towards him.“Come back to bed.” He urged me but i jerked up immediately and I shook my head at him.“No, No.” i said quickly and I started to look around in search of my own clothes to wear.

I didn’t even think I had messed him up so bad because I was angry but now that I was watching the video, it was so easy to see. Then there she was, laid on the bed and though the camera was not solely faced on her, anyone who knew her could tell that she was the one. Passed out and laid on the bed. I could feel the anger rising in my chest. I pressed the phone back in to Olivia’s hand and rushed to my bag to get out my own phone and sure enough I had a lot of notifications from school group chats. The video was all over the place already. “Damn!” I cursed in resignation. “Connor is very popular and so it makes sense that something like this will hit the internet.” Olivia said angrily.“But she isn’t being tagged in the video.” I said feeling a little bit relieved.“No she isn’t but the whole school is talking about it. They know it’s her.” Olivia

    (ISABELLA’S POV)I have always gotten picked on when I was way younger. It’s really not a nice thing and it sucks that I kind of got used to it. When I was way younger, kids would pick on my glasses, pull my hair, call me a nerd and laugh at me because I got all the tests right, mock me because I liked oversized clothes.You could really just name it. Maybe that’s why this video was not killing me as much as I expected it would. The only thing that I was struggling with was knowing that he almost took advantage of me. The thought of that haunted me and scared me to death. Connor took down all his social media accounts upon the resurfacing of the video. The video was so popular among our school mates and in Fort Haven High related groups that existed. It was a surprise that no one mentioned my name but they did give acute descriptions that led to me, like long dark hair, Junior year, they even used adjectives like hot.I tried not to think about it all and when Monday came, I gave

My day at school was almost normal except for the bugging thought of Hilary that occasionally came to my mind.I had not seen her since that incident and I would not see her until the day I do in court. A day, I wasn’t looking forward to but was prepared to.I was at home reading a novel and laid back on my be

How may I help you please?” A maid dressed in black and white uniform was the one who answered the door.“I’m here to see Dave please.” I said.Just as the maid opened her mouth to answer me, someone emerged from the hallway.“What the hell are you doing here?” Dave’s angry voice came before his face came in to view.His hair looked rough and his clothes looked rumpled. He looked like he was going through hell.“I came to see you because I want to talk to you.” I said stepping in to the house.Dave glared at me but I was surprised to see that he didn’t tell me to get out as I took another step forward.“So what is it? What exactly do you want to say to me? You want to laugh at me? Mock me because I’ll be going to Jail soon?” He asked and the anger was evident in his voice.“I did not come to mock you.” I said

For the longest time it was only eleven thirty pm and I had no idea why sleep was not coming to me. I wanted so much to see Brad and I don’t know how I managed to wait till this time.The sound of a rattle at my window pane made me shake. I jumped to my feet again when I heard the sound at the window again. I had no doubt that it was Brad and when I pushed the curtains aside, his face warmed me up. He was downstairs and beckoning me to come too. I contemplated for a split second and then threw on a robe before heading downstairs.I went out as carefully as I could and dashed to the back where Brad was waiting for me. “Hey.” He said taking my hand in his.My heart felt so warm and I felt so happy. I hugged him immediately and he was stiff with shock at first but then he hugged me back tightly. There was something about his hugs that made me never want to leave. It mad

I’m just going next door to apologize to Chris, Victoria and Bella.” I said with a hopeful smile.Mum rolled her eyes at me and then carried on with what she was doing which was setting flowers in a vase. I guess that meant I could carry on. Yes, I was grounded with a lot of limitations to phone, Tv and social events. After our hearty reconciliation last night, the punishments were next for Brad and I.Today is also the last day I’m allowed to skip school until I graduate. I guess my parents and Bella’s parents agreed on that since last night had been a whole lot.I was still whistling as I walked down the pathway leading to the Martinez house but then I noticed a black Camry car slowing down close to me.A sense of fear gripped me and I could not help but wonder if it was Hilary or Dave and if they were back to dea

The look in his eyes seemed so intense, there had to be some meaning in his words.“Hey.” Bella’s soft voice pulled me out of my thoughts and I turned to see her wearing a weak smile.“Hey.” I replied softly .Seeing her ever beautiful face refreshed me and I felt as relieved as ever to know that we would be able to keep those videos away from the eyes of everyone.Bella was pulling me away with her and I could see that the police officers were making their way to Dave’s front door.I’m sure our parents had explained the situation and why they had to take action.“Hey.” Bella said again and her hand cupped my cheek briefly with affection. “Are you okay?” Her eyes searched mine earnestly.I managed a smile at her.“Yes. I think I’m okay.” I said and then I shook my head. “I know I’m okay. Everyone knows how we feel about each other and we dealt with the dark part of this whole thing.”The

It helped her to escape some of the conversations.Thankfully, Hilary was not one who noticed the emotions of others and she was so busy thinking of herself that she didn’t notice her friend’s forced attitude.“I’ll show the damned fool! He must be thinking I don’t have anything on him, but I do.” Hilary said storming out of the car the moment it was parked out in front of Dave’s house.She hurried up the front porch with Tiara trailing after her after quickly as she made sure her recording was starting.The door was opened by one of the maids of the house whom Hilary pushed aside rudely and stormed upstairs.She banged on Dave’s door countlessly and she fume

I’m sorry for showing up unnannounced.” Olivia said with a shaky smile.“Leave Jude.” I said to my brother unable to ignore the way he was ogling at the girls who were waiting for me.Jude groaned disappointedly in reply and then he walked away muttering a curse at me. I folded my arms across my chest and looked challengingly at Olivia.“Bold of you to come here after the rude way you treated me. You shut the door in my face.” I pointed out.Olivia sighed and lost the smile she had been wearing.“You can’t blame me, can you? You were horrible to me.” She said.I shrugged and pushe
