KIMBERLY

I make my way back to the front yard, fisting my dress at the sides so I can walk down the small steps.

My eyes burn and no matter how hard I try to hold the tears in, they start to flow. I bow my head so that nobody sees me crying as I make my way to the gates. I feel eyes following me, so I look up and see the girl from earlier standing at the entrance with a triumphant smile on her lips.

I look away and continue to the exit. I wrap my hands around my middle, my lips tremble and my heart hammers unhealthily inside my chest.

Lying to myself wouldn't do me any good, the truth is that Marisa was right, her bond with brandon goes beyond the one he and i have. I saw it in his eyes, he does still feel something for her, he was waiting for her. I just happened to come in the way of their fate.

More tears cascade down my cheeks.

I reach home, I click the door shut and I'm thankful when I'm met with complete silence. If Killian or mom were to see me in this state, they would w

    BRANDON Being alone here has not been helping with how much I want to escape my thoughts. Marisa dropping a bomb on me days ago has me messed up. I wasn't expecting her to be in Blackwool or attending the annual ball, she was right about one thing though, and that's me wondering why she left. When she kissed me, it felt wrong, completely wrong. I have never ever entertained the idea of kissing someone else ever since I got with Kim, it was supposed to be that way, until Marisa placed her lips to mine. I could have dodged it, I saw it coming but I let it happen. In my own defence and honestly, I wanted to know what I was feeling. When someone who meant so much to you disappears without a trace, breaking your heart when you didn't do anything wrong? Those questions forever haunt you, no matter how much you push them to the back of your brain, once that person returns, they slam back twice than before. If I knew that she was diagnosed with cancer all those years back, I would have

    BRANDONI spot Kim walking out of the building. I walk to her and give her a kiss on the lips.I missed her so fucking much. It's going to be a while for us to be apart like that again. I take her luggage and place it the trunk. She slips inside the passenger side and we drive off."How was your flight?" I ask."It was okay, I just need to rest a bit."I nod in understanding.Silence settles between us, it's not the peaceful silence where there's no need to chat, it's that silence of not knowing what to say to each other. That alone makes me on edge.What if Lily said something to her? That's not possible, Marisa would have mentioned it.With how Marisa acted impulsively today, I know I need to tell Kim everything before she tries to use that information as a her last card in order to split us apart.We arrive at the apartment and settle inside. Kim goes upstairs to shower while I order lunch. A few minutes later, she walk out in a sweatpant and tank top."I told Anna about staying he

    KIMBERLYEvery day, I wake up in hopes that Brandon will be honest with me but I'm proven wrong all the time. It hurts to think that he would cheat on me, a huge part of me believes he would never do that to me, that maybe there was a moment where he realized what he was doing and stopped.I ran away from the scene before I could see what happened next after she kissed him. A stupid part of me holds on to the hope that after that kiss, he realized that he didn't feel how he felt when he kisses me. I want to be the only person Brandon feels an electricity pull with, not Marisa or any other girl. Tuns out, the girl who followed me and gave a hint of where to find Brandon is actually Marisa's best friend. My paranoia has me hanging on a tightrope. Every time Brandon leaves, I can't help but think he's gone to meet Marisa, like now.He said he and the guys are going to a bar for Lenny's farewell. I asked Sam to fish for information from Michael without being too obvious. She asked what

    KIMBERLYAfter I left Brandon standing in the kitchen, I went to the girl's apartment and spent the rest of my day with them. When I got back home, I went straight to bed.I'm beyond livid, he looked me in the eye and lied to me. Marisa is not his responsibility, she knows what she's playing at and he's falling headfirst into the trap she's setting up."Well look who it is."I roll my eyes at Marisa's voice.She comes to stand directly in front of me. It's a Monday and I'm waiting for Matt in the café."Just save your breath Marisa.""Yeah, sure, I will save my breath for something else which is more important, or maybe some...Brandon, perhaps?"I bite the inside of my cheek. In a swift move, she pushes my books off the table and papers I neatly kept together scatter on the floor."Oops, I'm sorry, I can be a bit clumsy sometimes."I tuck my lips in and restrain myself from punching her straight on the nose.I crouch and pick up my scattered papers."I don't have time for this."I wa

    BRANDONI kept delaying the conversation and that made things worse. Had I told her myself, she would have believed me. I had no fucking idea she saw what happened between me and Marisa at the ball.My mind refused to rest after the blow up conversation with Kim, I spent the whole night on the couch awake.It's now morning and I stand rooted outside the bedroom door, debating whether it's the right time to approach her or not. Making a final decision, I turn and walk away.* * Two Weeks Later* * Everything is almost back to normal, almost, because I feel like Kim is still holding back from me. I don't blame her because my past with Marisa is too complicated, the fact that I almost took my own life because she left me would alert any new lover after she returns.The feeling I felt when Kim came back home and spoke to me without distance and anger is beyond the word relief. Lily's friend poking her nose where she shouldn't is another thing that's making my time bomb tick faster. I w

    BRANDON It's been two days staying at the cabin and it surely is going on the best vacation list I've ever had with my friends. We leave tomorrow, I'm finally graduating and so are the Kim, Sam, Naomi, Michael and Jonathan. Xander has one more year to go since he decided to up his level in business. "In two month time, it's going to be busy for all of us, finally we get to work!" Sam says, clapping her hands excitedly. "Mhhm.." Kim hums in agreement. She flops down on the seat next to me and grabs her champagne glass. "And that my friend, deserves a cheers." Nao scoots to the edge and smiles. "Well, cheers to us finally being full out grownups!" She says. "Yes baby..." Jonathan grins, lifting his glass of whiskey to the center where all of ours follow and clink together in the middle. I sit back, flicking my lighter open and closed. Kim turns to look at me over her shoulder and smiles. "Congratulations for the big offer." "Thanks baby, I wouldn't have done it without you."

    BRANDON I close the door to my car and walk up the steps to the front door with Kim and my friends following close behind me. I spoke to my mom after I finished packing and she she wouldn't leave Marisa's side. Marisa tends to act impulsively when she's upset, I wouldn't put it past her to do something crazy after losing her eyes like that. We enter the living room and I spot her curled up in my mother's side on the couch while she runs her hand soothingly over her hair. "Rissa," my mom says when she sees me walking to them and Marisa's head snaps up. When our eyes meet, she jumps from the couch and runs to me, throwing herself in my arms and wrapping her hands around my neck. In that moment, I don't know what to do, my hands remain at my side. I look at my mom and she gives a small nod. My hands move and wrap around Marisa's back, at that movement, she squeezes me tighter. "I'm sorry for your loss." A voice speaks softly beside me, Marisa pushes back and looks at Kim w

    KIMBERLYIt's dark when my eyes open again. I rub the sleep out of my eyes and grab my phone on the bedside table to check the time. It's almost midnight and there's no text or missed call from Brandon. I know Marisa is hurting, I understand that Brandon is part of the people that she seeks comfort in, it's just three days, it'll soon be over and I'll have Brandon all to myself again.Clicking the side button to shut the screen, I place back the phone on the bedside table and go back to sleep.* *The Next Morning* *Still no text or call from Brandon, I try to call his number but it goes straight to voicemail. Well, maybe his phone shut down and he couldn't find proper time to charge it."I saw the news about that girl Marisa's mom, such a sad and traumatic situation for her to witness."I meet her eyes and sigh."Yeah, suicide isn't a light death.""So, Brandon?""He's at the funeral house with his mum. Marisa called him while crying, that's why we left our weekend vacation short.""

    KIMBERLYI hug my books to my chest, leaning against the wall and smiling at Harry."Sooo, you will make it, right?"I sigh."I don't know, Harry. But I promise I'll try my best to make time."His face falls and I instantly feel bad for turning him down."Hey babe," Brandon says from beside Harry and he goes tense.Bran's eyes find Harry, but instead of scaring him off, he smiles at him and says,"Hi." I'm taken aback for a second there and so is Harry."Uh, hello. Kim, I better get going.""Sure, see you around."He walks off and I'm left with Brandon. I turn to him and smile with amusement."Well look who's being nice."He corners me until there's no space behind me and the wall. He places his hands on the wall behind me, caging my head between them, then he leans down so close such that I have to cross my eyes to get a better look at him."For you, I'd be nice even to the devil."He smiles down at me and I'm reminded once again that this man is the only one for me.I smile back an

    KIMBERLY I was wrong, again. I need to stop acting out of jealousy or impulse. Brandon steps closer and places his palm on my cheek. "Now, can we talk?" I shake my head, yes. He pulls me outside and to the backyard. He takes a seat on a bench and I do the same next to him. I focus ahead but can feel his eyes on me. "I need you to stop doubting me," he says. My eyes meet his. "I need you to trust me as much as I trust you, Kimberly." "Then don't give me any reason to doubt you," I say softly. "And I am trying, that's why I cut off Marisa completely." "But did you?" I search his eyes. "What?" He frowns and I take in a sharp breath. "The night I got attacked," I start and notice his body tense. "You went to her, didn't you?" We search each others eyes and he says without blinking. "Yes." He answers, i swallow at his honesty. "And I beat myself up every day for it, she was wasted, when a bartender called me and said she was drunk, I went to take her home." It hurts that he

    BRANDON The death glares Naomi has been giving me since yesterday are enough to put someone in a damn comma. When Kimberly asked me if I fucked Shiloh, I was dumbfounded. Lying and cheating are two different things, the fact that she thinks I would actually dip my dick in someone else who isn't her pisses the shit out of me. I'm anything but a fucking cheater. I hate that she was crying, I hate it when she does. The angry sex though? It was everything, I liked the pain she inflicted on me, I wouldn't mind if she repeated it over and over again, it just made my dick hard. Backing up has never been my thing, I'm just giving her a few hours to calm the fuck down and I'll be bursting through that damn door so that we can talk. What she found in that frat was a pre party chill, the actual party is tonight and I wouldn't put it past Kim to think I'll be fucking Shiloh. I need to erase that doubt from her mind, my dick won't be fucking anyone in this lifetime apart from Kimberly. I flo

    KIMBERLY The entire ride, all I can think about is how Brandon let those stupid whores embarrass me. Michael and Jonathan too. I wipe at the tears angrily and park the car in the driveway. I thought about not coming back to the girl's apartment incase Brandon decides to follow me, but then I thought about the words he slapped me with last time, "I always run away at a small sign of misunderstanding". I lean my hands on the kitchen island and close my eyes. The door opens but I don't move, his cologne hits me even before his voice does. "It's not what you think." I turn around and slap him hard across the face. I glare at him through a blurry vision and I hate that stupid tears keep forming behind my eyelids. I need to show him that I'm strong, not just some weak girl who runs away every time and cries anytime we aren't in good books. His jaw clenches and his eyes harden. That annoys me more because he has no right to be mad that I slapped him, so I do it again. "Kim," he says

    KIMBERLY Operation, "Find Out What The Guys Are Up To." is in full progress.I lie on my back on the bed, wondering what the hell is going on when the door opens and Nao walks in with a bowl of ice cream.It's just the two of us today since Sam went out with this new guy she met a few weeks ago, I'm happy to say that things are really looking good for them, i want Sam to be happy and the fact that she's finally giving herself a chance to be loved and to love makes me so proud.I sit up and give Nao a warm smile."Hey," "Hey," she replies. "There's someone downstairs for you.""Who is it?""He said his name is Harry, from school.""Oh." I get up and walk downstairs.Harry is seated on the sofa with a glass of water in his hand. Ever since he heard about my attack two weeks ago, he kept checking up on me over the phone, this is the first i've seen him in person after our school project together."Harry?"He turns around and smiles at me over his shoulder."Kim," he places the glass o

    KIMBERLY The past two weeks have been hard. My bruises are gone but I'm still self conscious, so I apply too much makeup on my eye. I still have no idea who the hell saved me that night. As for Brandon, he's gone back to the routine of disappearing and coming back with bruised knuckles or a split lip.Brandon is not one to hurt innocent people, that's why I'm worried where he goes to every time only to come back like he's from war.Ever since I got beat up, I've had this awful fear of taxi's or ubers, so i always walk my way home.I enter the girl's apartment and find them cuddled on the sofa watching a romance movie on Netflix."Hey!" Nao say, she straightens from her position where she was resting her head on Sam's shoulder then pats the space between them. "You took too long we couldn't wait.""That's fine," I say and sit in the middle. "What's the storyline?"Sam gives a brief description and then there's comfortable silence as we watch the movie. * *A tap on my shoulder startl

    BRANDON"I asked you to keep an eye on her, why the hell did you let her leave?" I whisper to Michael."Now I'm the one to blame for what happened to her? Dude, I didn't expect that to happen either."I let out a deep sigh and run my hand over my face. When I saw how she looked last night, my heart almost leaped out of my chest. She was all bruised and swollen I almost didn't recognize her."And that comes to my question, where the hell were you?"My eyes snap to Michael's and my heart swells in my chest when I think about where I was. This fucking guilt I will carry for the rest of my life. I left her, I wasn't there to save her and that fact eats me the fuck up. Whoever saved her protected her, I don't even want to imagine what would have happened to her if that person didn't appear on the scene on time. I can't even thank him because she doesn't know who he is, she didn't see his face."I had to take care of something.""Was it that important that you had to leave her behind witho

    KIMBERLY"Oh. You so you've seen him in your dreams?" Because you're obsessed with him not because it's fate. I say but don't tell her that."Yes.""What dreams are they?""You won't judge me, right?""Of course not."Her cheeks tint a bright shade of pink."He ..he does things to me that no man has ever done."Oh shit. She really is obsessed. And, she's a...virgin?Silence.More silence."Please don't think I'm a psychopath, I swear I'm not.""April, no. I don't think like that at all."I lean back in my seat and take in all her features. Michael doesn't like innocence, he likes them all ruffled up, he likes rebels and strays.April is too innocent, but there's no denying the fact that she's extremely beautiful, if I'm being honest, she's slightly more prettier than Sam and trust me, Sam is pretty. The one who wants to make us run for the hills with her beauty is Nao. April grabbing Michael's attention?Well, it's a long shot but worth trying."Can we take a pic together, you know,

    KIMBERLYI'm extremely annoyed, no, annoyed is an understatement, I'm utterly pissed and livid, I'm angry, I'm a lot of things right now. I glare at Michael who is seated opposite me with his elbows resting on his knees and a bottle of beer dangling between his fingers. The moron looks unbothered by my glare, in fact, when i glare harder and my eyes turn to slits, he grins at me."Michael!" I say with more annoyance and frustration but his grin widens some more."What?" He arches a brow.I sigh,"Are you just going to sit there and follow orders from Brandon instead of having fun?"He takes a sip and keeps staring at me as if I didn't even say a single word. My attempt at poking him fails miserably but I don't give up.Scooting closer to the edge of the sofa, I try to bargain with him."Look," he turns his head away from me, pretending to be avoiding me but I continue. "If you just let me do whatever the hell I want, I might get you a date with April."His eyes snap to mine.Yes!"I
