Bailey's povHer glare intensifies when I breathed in sharply, my shaky fingers reaching for the door handle to open the door. But before my finger's could latch on, Kaleb stops me. " I will go out to speak to her. " He said softly, squeezing my hand. Mira's eyes storm with anger and she huffed, straightening her spine and crossed her arms when her brother stepped out of the car. I jolt when the door closes behind him and shrink into the seat as Kaleb stormed towards her. " What the hell Mirabella?" Kaleb snapped. " If you want to be angry at someone be angry at me, not her!" Mira stepped forward, pointing a finger at his chest before jabbing it directly in the middle of his sternum. " Oh I'm livid, you good for nothing lousy asshole! You just had to go for her didn't you!" She yelled. Her voice created an echo that brought on others attention and to my horror, my mom and dad stepped out and just behind them is Lilian and Kristina is holding Lilian in a comforting manner in the d
Bailey's povHis words made my pulse race and the strong emotions he poured into them made me melt, knowing he meant every single word. I stared at Kaleb in awe, my heart knowing that it belonged to him and as his eyes meet mine, the emotions he poured in his words showed in the depths of his soul. " I finally went after what I want Mira," He whispered, his eyes shinning with so much strong emotions even I felt them through me. Returning his gaze to his sister, he uttered softly. " And I'm sorry, but I won't let her go." Mira breathed in sharply, takes a step back, shakes her head and whips around. Her eyes land on me, standing there and her eyes are dead. It makes my chest hurt and I tried to pull air into my lungs to help me breath. She looks at me in betrayal, anger and pain. With a shake to her head, she uttered over her shoulder. " Just take me home, I don't want to be here any longer." She rips her eyes off me and storms to Kaleb's car. Every step she takes, it feels like t
Bailey's pov I saw the way my words made her feel. I saw the shift in her eyes. The reaction I should have expected. But I can't take those words back and I....don't want to. Because I mean them. Every single word that rolled off my tongue, I meant them with every inch of my being. I know I hurt her, I know she feels betrayed. But I can't continue to lie to myself too. I can't please her with a lie anymore. I want Kaleb. I love Kaleb. I blinked rapidly, trying to remove the presence of tears in my eyes so I can see her properly while I uttered. " Your brother deserves to be loved to Mirabella. He is worth being loved." I shook my head and take a step forward, pinning her down with a sincere stare. " I love him and I'm sorry, but if I have to choose between you and him, I will love you both. I will choose you both. But if you make me choose then I will choose him." I played with my fingers, knowing that I was pouring my heart out in front of my family too. But it needed to be d
Kaleb's povI took a peek at my sister, my fingers around the steering wheel tightening. " Are you going to continue to give me the silent treatment the entire way home?" She does not respond, turning away from me and crossing her arms. She was acting childish. I let out a frustrated puff of air. " This is childish Mirabella, even for you." There's a long awkward pause after my words and I had thought she wouldn't have responded. But I am wrong. " Childish is you and Bailey keeping the truth from me." Her tone was bitter and lacked any emotion. She was way pass angry, she was seething silently. " We were trying to find a way to tell you about us Mira, but we were afraid of how you'd react. Like now." I pointed out in frustration. I loved my sister, and I knew that she had grown to be annoyed at me for my actions in the past for hurting girls and unknowingly having them come to her. I guess she didn't trust that I could be good to Bailey. " My reaction is completely justified."
Bailey's povIt has been a couple days since Mirabella found out about Kaleb and me. Things hadn't.....gotten easier since then unfortunately. Not only was she still extremely upset about it but she was also confusing Kristina by trying to not make Kristina talk to me too. I found it a bit childish but Mira was always that way. I'm just glad Kristina wouldn't let her dictate who she can and cannot speak too. Yet...I am terribly sad that Mirabella still have yet to speak to me. She even blocked me on all of her socials! My heart aches knowing I may have lost her forever. Was she serious about never speaking to me again? I lift my hand to rub that little aching part on my chest even though I knew the issue was inward and I couldn't ease it in this way. " Hey my gloomy little flower." Kaleb whispered in my ear lovingly as he planted a delicate kiss on my neck and cheek, fixing himself on the bench beside me. He placed his tray on the table. I lifted my head that I had resting on m
Bailey's povThe days are going by quickly and it feels like the longer we go without speaking, Mira and I were losing whatever small piece of thread that kept our friendship. It had gone from a few glances, me mostly trying to grab her attention to now, nothing. As I settle on the chair and place my bag on the desk, I sighed. I loved Kaleb and I am growing more happier with him every day. But I also know my heart misses Mira too. " I'm so screwed." Kristina moaned, plopping on the chair beside mine. At any moment now Mira will show up. If she sees Kristina beside me, she'd sit at front, obviously trying to avoid sitting anywhere in close proximity to me. I brought my gaze to Kristina, my brows drawing as I regarded her words. " Screwed? What did you do?" Kristina winced, looking embarrassed. " I may or may not have forgotten to do the homework. I was up talking with you and Lucy last night and kind of fell asleep right after. I only remembered we had homework.....like at the this
Bailey's povI was smart enough to not be so close to her as she made her way to the bathroom. I didn't want her to see that I followed her in here, fearing she may make a beeline for somewhere else. I waited for five minutes before entering the bathroom. I can hear her shifting around in the cubicle and I closed the door behind me lightly, leaning my back against it so she won't have anywhere to leave. We needed to talk and if this was the lengths I had to take to get my best friend back, I'd do it. As I try to wait for her to be done, I took this as moment to gather my thoughts and think of a way to speak to her. My eyes locked on the cold tiles, raking my brain for ways to get through to Mira. This can be the best chance and how many chances can I get after this? It had to be done now. The sound of the flushing and gurgling of water pulled me out of my thoughts and made my heart race. I waited, not patient at all as I scratch my arms in anticipation. I am uncertain of where th
Bailey's povHearing my words, Mira spins around, her eyes narrowing. " Did you just call me a hypocrite?" I nod, crossing my arms as I lift my chin up in defiance. " Yes. And I meant it. You are and you know that Mirabella. You know I am right." Mira gasped, looking outraged and stormed towards me, her eyes narrowing into slits of rage. I am not fazed by her reaction and stand still, waiting for what she would no doubt spit at me. " And how am I a hypocrite Bailey!? Prey tell, since you know so much about being a hypocrite." " You're angry at me for keeping my relationship with Kaleb away from you, yet, Mira you did the same thing. You're not telling the full truth here. Especially to Kaleb. You're keeping something from him too. " Mira snorted, looking around in disbelief before laughing in fake amusement. " Keeping something from Kaleb? What is that? Because last I checked I'm not you! I don't keep secrets!" she snapped at the end, breathing loudly. Still, even with all her an
Bailey's povI should have known. There's a bubble of laughter that's stuck in my throat, laughter that would be dry of any emotion they deprived me of if I could let it out. I could see it now, I now could see why this was very likely to be her. Juliet. As she took her elegant time to come down the creaky stairs, disgust twisted within me along with hatred. This makes it two people I now hate. Stefan crossed his arms, his gleaming amused eyes on me. I hated that I was their amusement toy. As her pretty face came into view, the sadist gleam in her eyes made a shiver run down my spine sharply. She's at the end of the stairs, her hand grabbing the handrail as she turns to face me fully. She grinned. " Well hello there Bailey," her giggle makes me nauseous and I rip my teary eyes away from her. Why did she go this far? What have I done to this girl?Stefan snorted, reaching out to grab a lock of my hair. I flinched away and he chortles with her. " Now don't act like we're strangers
Bailey's povThe familiarity of that voice sends a sharp chill down my spine, my heart hammering in my chest. It can't be. It cannot be him.I am imagining this.There was no way.It just can't be.Yet, his scent is familiar, and his voice....Pieces start to fall into place and my stomach lurchs and I gag as realization dawns on me. Someone I considered a friend. Someone I trusted. Why would he do this? Why would he do this to me?Why would Stefan do this to me?A wave of betrayal weighs in my chest and also fury. I can't believe I trusted him. Why would he even do this? I rake my brain, trying to think of why Stefan would even play this sick game with me but came up with nothing.But then when he dipped his head in the crook of my neck and inhaled my scent, sighing with pleasure, a sinking realization dropped in my belly. " You've always smelt so good Bailey."His words sent a sharp shiver of disgust and repulsion clashing within me. His close proximity makes my stomach churn and I
Bailey's povIt was getting late, dark and I knew my parents didn't need to worry about another kid right now. I fished out my phone and texted mom that I was fine and would be home in a second. My eyes caught their many missed calls, and I bit my lip, hoping I had not worried them too much. I caught other missed calls from Kaleb and Mirabella too, but, I couldn't bring myself to text back. I wasn't sure how I could break it to them that my life was falling apart. That if my sister was in pain, then that meant I was in pain too. And if something happened to her, I swallowed. Then something happened to me too. The park was empty now, everyone had already gone home. I peeled away from the swing, my bum a bit numb from sitting on it for hours. My throat was achy from crying and I cleared it, picking up my bag. And that's when I heard it, or better yet felt it behind me. I am about to whirl around, but I am too late as a huge hand clamp around my lower face with a rag. My eyes widen a
Bailey's povThe world stopped. It felt like it stopped. The words that moved passed her lips hit me so hard, that it pushes the air out of my lungs. Cancer. The word was like a mocking echo we had promised to leave behind us. We had won. She had won. I looked down at my little sister, squished between our parents. Her face is unreadable but I know she is well aware of what is going on around her. How? God why? She had won? Hadn't she?She had won!"No," I whispered, my heart tearing apart. I don't think I will have a heart anymore after tonight. It doesn't feel like it will heal after this announcement. I shook my head, my vision going blurry as I begin to cry. " It can't be. You're lying!" The last words come out like a yell, my throat aching with the aggressiveness I used. " Tell me you're lying mom!" I screamed, causing Lil to squirm away and look at me in fear. I quickly toned down my anger, not wanting her to fear me. I approached them, falling to my knees beside the bed, st
Bailey's pov"Can I have another?"I bit my lower lip to fight off the giggle but couldn't fight off the smile as I leaned over the console to plant a soft kiss on Kaleb's lips.He nibbled on my lower lip and before I knew it, we were kissing deeply. I was the first to break away, breathing so rough I had to take in a good amount of air into my lungs to calm down my racing heart.Kaleb lifted his hand and cupped my cheek, his thumb brushing against my cheek lovingly. "I love you," he whispered, every word coming out with such honesty I melted."I love you too," I responded truthfully, kissing his nose and giggling when he scrunched it up in an adorable way."Babe," he whined, pouting slightly. "I'm the one who is supposed to do that."I rolled my eyes, laughing as I pulled away, but for good measure, I planted another kiss on his nose and jokingly murmur. " I think I rather be the man in the relationship," with a teasing grin I successfully got out of the vehicle whilst he was dumbfou
Bailey's povMy fingers curled through his soft strands, gripping them tightly. My eyes closed, my hips buck off the bed and a scream curled in my throat as his tongue rolled around my clit teasingly.He groaned, gripping my thighs to keep me from moving as his lips wrapped around my clit and he sucked."Kaleb," I moaned and he nipped my clit, making me jerk off in surprise."Sam," he reminded, nipping my lips in warning. I giggled, only to moan when the tip of his tongue sank into my opening."Oh Sam," I sighed, my eyes peeling open to stare at him between my thighs. He had a satisfied smirk on his lips while his tongue was very much still inside my opening.With a dark look crossing his eyes, he began to push his tongue in and out of my opening, his upper lip pressing against my throbbing clitoris.He moaned as I grip his hair, my nails unintentionally scraping his scalp. He suckled and slurped, eating me out until I saw the dotings of the little stars in my vision.As he tongue fuc
Bailey's povA loud snore made me look over at the bed. Mira had fallen asleep about five minutes ago and Kristina and I didn't want to wake her up.So much for having a full two hour study time."Hmm I like it like that Ryan,"I furrow my brows and looked over at Kristina who gave me the same look. Amusement."Did she just talk in her sleep?" Kristy snorted giggle, throwing her hand over her mouth. I nodded, pushing my teeth into my bottom lip and hoping I'd not cave and burst into the laughter that was already bubbling in my chest."So good,"Kristina's eyes widen and she mouthed. "I think she's having a sex dream."I nodded, pressing my knuckles to my mouth as I stared at my drooling best friend on the bed. Someone would think she was dreaming about food with the amount of drool that slithered down the sides of her mouth."Definitely about Ryan." I giggled as Mira gripped the sheets and let out a small moan."It honestly feels like we're intruding on their moment." Kristy snorted,
Bailey's pov"I hate this," Mira moaned, turning around to lie on her back and stared, well more like glared at the ceiling.Mira, Kristina and I were doing a last minute group study for the exam tomorrow.Kristina rolled her eyes, lifting her arms over her head and yawned. "For the first time, I agree with you on this."Mira looked over at her in the bed, her eyes twinkling with that mischievous glint I know all too well. "How about you give us the details on what's going on between you and Mr Malik after your talk?" She wiggled her brows and turned around in her stomach.Kristina flushed instantly, her eyes quickly darting to the doorway. "Mira!" She hissed.Mira shrugged. "Parents not home yet and that dweeb of a brother is in his room, mopping because it's girls time and he can't have his girlfriend." She rolled her eyes, scrunching her nose."Hey," I said playfully to her. "Leave my man alone."Mira faked gag. "Did you hear it Kristy? Leave her man alone. Ew."I narrowed my eyes.
Kristina's pov"I'll see you guys later," I waved at Bailey and Mira as they left with Kaleb. They gave me worried glances and I smiled to reassure them that what I am about to do, I am okay and I can handle myself. As I watch the car drive away, I turn back around and stepped back into the school.School had just ended and everyone was making their way home. Except for me of course. I had unfinished business to do. That unfinished business had something to do with a certain art teacher who had been avoiding me like the plague.Justin usually stayed back a bit late. I'm not sure why, but whenever I have cheer practice he's always in his classroom when I pass by.I am praying he's still there and the classroom is empty.As I get closer, my fingers tremble and a spike of my heart rate made me swallow. I hated that I was so full of nerves. I didn't want to go over to him and stand in front of him and be a blabbering idiot.But I needed to do this.With a sudden burst of determination, I
