When Brandon told me Ronan was just venting out his anger,which was why he didn't fight him, I was shocked to learn that he backed off because of the love he has for me,that he wants me to be happy. Bran's sentence didn't sound right though, so I literally had to force him to fill the blanks and he nearly growled the words, "he loves you."I had to wait this long to confront Ronan, I mean he hurt my Bran and no matter the reason,I won't hesitate releasing my wrath on the person who causes him harm,which is why I had to wait for my heart to cool down because I didn't trust myself not to claw his eyes out.I go to the place I know without a doubt he's at. Ronan's back is to me,his legs are dipped in the steam rising water. Brandon would kill me if he knew I went here.I remove my shoes and sit next to him,dipping my legs in the water.We stay silent for long minutes."Hi," I whisper."Hi," he whispers back."You know..I must admit I did miss this place.""I know you did."I turn my hea
KIMBERLY"So this is it? we go our separate ways," Michael speaks after taking a shot."yeah...this kind of sucks you know?" I respond."Yep," Sam sighs."I just got used to this,us and the groupie thing," she adds."Who would have thought we would be sitting here finding it hard to leave each other," I say.If a year ago, someone told me this would be our situation, me, Sam and the Elites being best buddies? I would have slapped them hard on the head with my textbooks.I used to see these guys as jerks, well.. of course they are jerks, most especially when you view them from the outside, and that's if you are not one of those girls who want them under your skirt and put aside their stupid attitudes. They've become important people to me,and lastly,I'm so glad that Sam has found happiness. finally I'm at a place where I know for certain that Xander's feelings for Sam are real."yeah.. who would have thought Sam and Xan would be shagging.""you shut up." Sam throws a popcorn at Lenny, X
BRANDON*Two Years Later*"Who the fuck told you, you can touch my fiancee?" I hold the guy up against the wall. He's a student who has the same course with Kim, the fucker honestly thought he could touch her hand. Nobody touches what's mine!"Brandon."Kim's small hands pull me back but I don't budge.The moment I walked in and saw him holding her hand and waist I lost it."Brandon put him down,you'll hurt him."He's a nerd. With his funny spectacles,he looks like that character Harry from Harry Potter.I let him go and he picks up his books from the floor in a hurry."Oh my God Harry,I'm so sorry."Well fuck,he is Harry after all.Kim touches his arm and the poor guy's eyes snap to me in fear."Don't worry,it's just Brandon being....well Brandon. He's not always like this, he just doesn't know you that's why.""O-okay, it's alright. See you around."He scurries off so fast he nearly hits in the corner as he turns.Kim spins around with eyes glaring and a hand hiked up on her hip."T
KIMBERLYWhen Brandon placed the engagement ring on my finger,I felt all the pieces of my heart fit together,I thought the only man I would ever love in my life is Killian,my young brother. Kill has grown up to be such a handsome boy, he's now fifteen, recently started highschool at Blackwool royal and part of the football team,all because of his idol, Brandon. Mom is having a hard time accepting that all her babies have grown up,well Killian is still a kid but with his personality...I don't think so. My young brother has grown up to be exactly like Brandon,girls throw themselves at him because apparently,he's a genius,has good looks and is a football Captain.The fact that mom called asking when I'll get to visit because she's afraid of opening the thousands of love letters in our mail because they might blind her eyes, had me rolling on the ground with laughter.Lately, Brandon has been very busy,we barely spend time together like old times,the only chance we have is when we both ge
KIMBERLY"You'll find out soon."Bran smiles down at me,"You know I hate surprises right? What if you're going to tell me you're no longer interested in marrying me?"I laugh smoothly but the sudden tense of his muscles has me pausing, he continues dragging me to the car,I get in and he drives off.The entire ride is quiet, I leave it at that because maybe he's thinking about the surprise. I smile to myself and roll down the window, enjoying the feel of the cool breeze filling the space.We arrive at a museum,I frown then look up at Bran and find him watching me."An Art museum?""Yes, come on."We walk inside and I melt. The place is full of beautiful paintings hanging on the wall,my lips part and I can't seem to close them,one painting grabs my attention. I move forward and stare at it,it's so beautiful,I tilt my head to the side trying to make sense of it.The colors and design are catchy,I don't even really know why I'm so mesmerized by it. "If you keep staring at that portrait
KIMBERLYI see Harry rounding the corner,he seems to be in a rush,I can't catch up with hi, so I call out his name loudly."Stuart!" I use his last name.He looks back and pauses,I wave for him to stop."Hey!" I breathe heavily once I reach him."Uh..hi." he smiles awkwardly and pushes his spectacles up the bridge of his nose."Can I walk with you?" I ask and he looks around nervously."What's wrong?" I follow his gaze but there nobody around."Harry?" I touch his arm and he startles."L-look Kim,there's something I need to tel-""Hey baby."Bran hugs me from behind,I don't answer him as I keep looking at Harry. He was about to tell me something but when he looks behind me,his mouth seals shut."Har-""I should go,see you later Kimberly."Then he scurries off. I frown,he just called me Kimberly and not Kim. I turn and face Brandon,he's looking in the direction Stuart went.He looks down and finds me watching him,his eyes soften and a smile pulls at his lips."How was your day?""It w
KIMBERLY Ever since Matt told me about his bucket list being all about me, I just brushed it off and tried to get rid of him, but he wouldn't stop following me around or pushing me to be friends with him. I honestly don't know what the guy's problem is, there's thousands of girls here throwing themselves at his feet but he just won't stop bothering me.The last thing I want is him getting into trouble with Brandon, if he finds out there's a guy onto me, things won't go well.I place my books on my lap as I sit in a chair in the hall. Suddenly, the feeling of being watched starts to crawl on my skin, I search my surroundings and there's no one looking at me, i frown.That's weird.The entire time, I keep feeling a weight on me but I try my best to ignore it.Once the lecture stops, I get up and make my way to the entrance then accidentally bump into someone."Oh crap." I crouch and start to pick up my books when I catch someone mirroring my position and helping me out."Oh my goodne
BRANDON A two hours drive to the next city was not something I thought I would be doing anytime soon. I told Kimberly I was going to visit my cousin Brent in New York, but the truth is I'm actually going to San Diego to see Xander.In a few hours, I get to Xander's apartment, I pull out my phone and call him."I'm here."I find him waiting at the door.He smiles and I return it, then give him a bro hug."Man it feels like ages since I last saw you," he says as he steps inside the house and i follow behind him, closing the door.He offers me a drink and then sits on the chair,facing the couch I'm sitting on."How are you dealing? Still purging?""Yes," I nod. "I hate the fact that I'm lying to Kimberly, I don't want it to be like this."Xander sighs.I've been filling him in over the phone on everything that has been happening since someone from my past life came back, trying to get back into my life. It's not just any typical old fling that I can easily push away and avoid, this was s
KIMBERLY"Do you have more?" I ask Matt and he smiles brightly."Actually, I do have extra."He holds out the small bag. When I try to take it, he holds it out of reach, making me frown."Uh uh, tsk tsk." "Matt.." I sigh. "Give it," I open my palm to him, wiggling my fingers.When he first suggested this idea, I almost hit him in the head, my exact words being, "Are you fucking crazy? I'm not turning to snow." Bashing people's heads has been a dangerous thought of mine lately, I need to get back in check. He was right when he said I would beg for them because, well, yeah, here I am, fighting for the powder I'm now getting addicted to. He's a clever bastard, in exchange of it and gummies, I need to spend time with him, one hour to be exact. Not more, not less. That's a small price to pay for pain for numbing. Besides, I like Matt, he's not as unbearable as I thought at first.The door opens and Sam stops at seeing us in the ladies' bathrooms together."Oh, hi Sam." Matt greets, and
BRANDONIt took everything I had in me not to follow her out last night when she watched me shoving my tongue down Lucy's throat. I wanted to run after her and tell her that I'm not fucking her, and that just fucking pissed me off, because I shouldn't want to reassure her when she fucking betrayed me by sleeping with that dipshit Matt. Everything in me still wants to remain loyal to her and it's messing with my brain cells.I should be buried deep in Lucy's cunt just to spite Kim but my stupid dick doesn't seem to go along with that idea, same as my still beating heart that's stitched up behind my ribcage from the damages Kim caused. Why can't i just completely forget about her? I realize that the more i want her, the more my hatred towards her goes up, and that's bad, very bad because it fuels my need to hurt her, to torment her. I run my hand down my face and let out a frustrated sigh.Opening the door to my Audi, i say my last goodbyes to my friends and then i get in tye car and d
KIMBERLYI pull my mini dress down as the ground sways beneath my feet. I manage to make my way up the set of stairs and glue my ass down on the leather sofa. Everyone is too busy to even pay attention to me being in a really pissy mood.I'm mad, so freaking mad. And I'm horny. I can't believe Brandon just left me high and dry. That piece of shit. He finally comes up and takes a seat exactly where he waw, but this time, Lucy doesn't sit in his lap.He pulls out his phone and starts typing something. I wonder if he has some other whore out there waiting on the sidelines for him to fuck whenever she wants because it wasn't hard to miss that he was hard back in the alley.Slowly, as if knowing I'm watching him, his eyes lift and lock with mine. I stop breathing. His eyes trail down my body, when they reach my thighs, he stops there and a deep fire burns behind his greens as if he's picturing being between them. Well, fine, im the one who's picturing him being between them.Fire lick bet
BRANDONShe throws back another shot, then her focus goes to her phone and she smiles. It must be that dipshit Matt, who's texting her. I shouldn't care, but the fact that she's with him somehow pisses me the fuck off even more. I watch her walk off and then come back. She settles on Michael's lap and takes a joint from him and my jaw tightens. When the fuck did she start doing weed?Or drink this much? I want to stop her but i don't have the right, it'll just make me look like i care, and i fucking don't. That's why I'm with Lucy. Kim's eyes meet mine and then they go to where my hands are on Lucy's skin. Heat flares in her eyes and she stands and makes her way to the dance floor as Or Nah starts playing. The moment i saw her walk into the club in that short dress, i wanted to chase her ass out of the club. It's too short that any man could easily grop her ass or pussy without her consent. My hand runs up Lucy's thigh while the other brings the glass of whiskey to my mouth, my eyes
KIMBERLY"Are you sure?" Sam asks, looking at me warily. I snicker and then roll my eyes."Oh, please, as if i haven't lived with the fact that he's now with that whore, for weeks."I lean closer to the mirror and add another layer of red lipstick to my lips and pucker them. When i notice how long silence has lingered in the atmosphere, i look at the person behind me through the mirror and see unasked questions behind her gaze."Sam.." i sigh, breaking eye contact and packing my makeup in my mini bag. I throw the chain over my shoulder and turn around, leaning against the counter to face her."I'm fine, okay. I'm cool with how my life has turned out, no need to make a big deal out of it. I mean, I'm not like you. Clinging to stupid shit that's...." i pause when i realize what the fuck i just said.Shit."Sam, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-""No," she cuts me off and shakes her head. "Go ahead, say it all Kim. Tell me how stupid my feelings are.""Sam." I push my hair back. I don't kno
KIMBERLY*Four Days Later*I'm flipping bacon and humming to a random song I heard playing on the radio in Naomi's car earlier when we just left the mall for a girls' shopping day, when Sam walks into the kitchen."Hey," she leans against the kitchen table."Hi," I reply, catching her scrolling through her phone and taking a huge bite off an apple. "So, I just saw this post on some girl's wall from campus, Jonathan is hosting a pool party tonight. What I'm surprised about, though, is the fact that we had no idea about it."I turn off the cooker and face her."A party, and we didn't get an invite?"That doesn't sound like Jonathan at all."We should gate crash," Nao says as she enters the kitchen. "I mean, no one would kick us out anyway.""She's right." Sam agrees. Nao walks to the fridge and pours herself some water in a cup and gulps it down. "We should go."She's been eating healthy lately, drinking too much water and exercising. Damn i love how hot her body looks.I think over t
KIMBERLYI calm myself down and Sally's mother walks in after."Sorry about that. Oh, you're done." She eyes the dishes."It's fine." I turn away from her so that she doesn't see my mess of a face."Thanks for the help. Let's join the others outside for some drinks.""Uh, I'll just use the bathroom and then I'll be right out.""Sure." She walks out of the house and i make my way to where she said the bathroom is.I fix my light makeup and it's hard to see that i just had a bad time, then i join the others outside. "Your home is really beautiful," i tell Samiel's mother and she smiles at me over her champagne flute."Oh, thank you, sweetie."Someone scoffs somewhere but i ignore it."So, Samiel.. I've always wondered what your type really is and i must say I'm really surprised to find out that it's the easy ones."Silence.Everyone goes silent."Excuse me?" Samiel finally speaks."I mean, you do hang out with the cute ones, but deciding to bring home a cheap one? Never would have thou
KIMBERLYI tightly grip the garden chair handles until my knuckles turn white. And then i slowly stand."Uncle Brandon!" The little girl jumps and he catches her in his arms, he smiles and i'm stuck in a trance. His smile."Hello, princess. How's my favorite niece doing?" He asks."Oh please, I'm your only niece. It fits that im your favorite because there's no competition. " She rolls her cute little eyes and everyone except me bursts out laughing."You're too smart for a four year old."I scan him slowly.Black long sleved shirt perfectly folded to the elbows with the first button undone and it's neatly tucked in black presses pants, dark hair perfect styled, black shoes and a silver relex secured around his wrist."Samiel brought a girl home!""Sally!" The girl's mother scolds. She's married to Samiel's oldest brother. The one vouching for Brandon's "girlfriend".My heart sinks at that reminder. He has a girlfriend already. My eyes move away from him to stare at anything but his ne
KIMBERLY"So, you're coming, right?"I walk around the office kitchen, making myself some coffee as Samiel watches me from across the room leaning against the wall with his arms folded over his chest and feet crossed at the ankles.I lean my hand on the table and pop my hip out while i wait for the coffee."I dont know, Samiel. It's a family gathering like you said, i don't want to intrude."He straightens to his full height and slowly walks to me, placing his hands on my shoulders, he leans to my eye level and fixes his eyes on me."I want you to come, you won't be bothering anyone because you are my friend. My family is cool so you have nothing to worry about, i promise."I sigh."Besides, my cousins will have their girlfriends there too, so why not bring my plus one as well."I smile."Are you trying to call me your girlfriend for the day, Nash?"His grin spreads wide."Do you want to be my girlfriend, Monoa?" He arches a brow and i roll my eyes, playfully punching him on the s
