111. Sorry- Jacob -.She takes me through a labyrinth of passages, and eventually we are out of the building. It’s a backyard hidden away in a corner. Definitely not easy to access. There are many students around. It looks like a party or get together.”She came here half an hour ago. She must be here somewhere...”“Thanks,” I say.“I hope you are indeed her boyfriend…” she says, eyeing me again.“If you harass her or something… We won’t be good to you, pretty boy. So be civil with her.” She warns and takes off with her friends.I want to roll
112. Future - Natalie - . I lay with my head on his chest, breathing heavily. I am still trying to process the fact that he came here for me. He draws circles on my shoulder and says, ”I think we should talk before we start fucking again.” It makes me giggle and I hide my face in his chest. He chuckles and hugs me tight. It’s been more than two hours… and we kissed and kissed and kissed. And of course fucked… and made love. “Happy Birthday Natalie…” He says, finally. I glance at the clock. It’s almost 12. “You remember…” I thought maybe he forgot. “Of course I do…” He says softly. “You have no idea how miserable I was this morning…” “Me too,” I say quietly. “I was damn angry, but I missed you…” I take a pause, wondering if I should admit. “This is why… I asked dad to change my number.” “I figured that much…” “I didn’t trust myself to keep my distance from you.” I tell him. He breathes heavily. “You wanted to keep your distance because I hurt you too much.” He states an
- Jacob -.When I wake up, I see Natalie is not around, and I am late. I can still manage to reach home by 8:30 and leave for school after that.Damn. Another late slip.The door opens, and she comes in with a pile of clothes in her hands. “So fucking finally… someone did the laundry!” I say, amused. “Yeah…” she grins, placing the clothes on the bed.I grab her arm and yank her towards me.“Were you touching yourself?”“When?” she asks innocently.“You know when!” I say, pulling her closer.“I don’t know what you are talking about,” she says, her lips dangerously close to mine.“Yes, you do…” I grab her boob and squeeze it a little. She gasps.A knock on the door stiffens both of us.“Should I go into the bathroom?” I whisper.“No. That’s ok,” she says quietly and opens the door. A girl almost burst inside the room, but Natalie blocks her way.“Why aren’t you ready?” She asks.“uhmmm… I am going home today…” WHAT!A smile forms over my lips realizing I will get a few more days wi
113. Confused - West - . It’s for the first time I have ever been alone for this long. Single is the word, I guess. I tried to convince Riley, and I tried hard. But then I realized she can be God damn stubborn when she wants to be. In the next few days, a few things happened… Subtle, but enough to put me on edge and I felt it was better to leave her alone. “What happened to your girlfriend?” Caleb had asked. “None of your business!” He chuckled. “I know you guys broke up.” He shoves my personal information in my face to show me he keeps tabs on me. His tactics are getting old and have little effect on me. His requests to keep his precious packages secured in my house have increased. I have an inkling he is trying to set up a business for himself. I just hope he doesn’t drag me in his mess. “You must miss her in bed.” “Don’t push me Caleb.” I warned him. He shrugged. “If you are not dating her, I guess it’s an open pass for me-” I punched his face before he could complete his
114. That Day – Three weeks ago – - West - . When I reach home, I stiffen to realize someone is inside. Alfred is usually out at this time and doesn’t come back until late at night. I open the door carefully and see Riley sitting by the kitchen counter doing her schoolwork. She still has the keys. “You are late,” she says. I blink at her. She turns and raises her brow, expecting an answer from me. It makes me smile. “I didn’t want to come back to an empty house.” I admit. That damn call from Spain has messed up my head today. I am not sure how I am feeling exactly. “What are you doing here?” I ask as I notice a cake box, some flowers and a tiny gift sitting on the counter next to her bag. Considering the way she snapped at me in the parking lot, I am sure it’s not for me. “Bought these for Mom’s birthday… “ She says then asks after a pause, “Do you remember who else’s birthday it is today?” I sigh. She is here to pick up a fight. That day when she saw the pics… She was t
–Present Day–- Natalie -.Nowadays, I spend my time with Riley as much as I can. Sometimes we style each other’s hair while watching movies. Sometimes we paint. I suck at it.Sometimes we bake. She sucks at it. I can see her mood improving a little every day. I have been convincing her to go to prom with us.“Norris would love to take you as his date.” I tell her as I realize that she is thinking about the date, or maybe West.She isn’t angry with him. Maybe she had been telling the truth all along. There was no sexual assault. It doesn’t make sense though.She shrugs. “Okay!”“Really!” My eyes widen.She laughs. “Yeah why not..”I have to make sure Norris isn’t taking anybody else.Sh*t Sh*t Sh*t!Once we exhaust all our options to pass our time, we go out cycling. I take her to the campsite by the lake, where I spent that night with Jacob. We sit there for hours and I tell her stories of college campus. I tell her about my hot coach and how Jacob was green with envy when he met
115. Make it work - Jacob - . We both lay on the floor in my closet, our limbs tangled in each other. “We should go to bed… “I say, sighing heavily. “No..” She whines. “I don’t want a sore back again, Natalie.. “ We have been laying here for the past hour. She hugs me tight with determination so I cannot get up. “This is not fair! “ I grumble. “You got a nice little mattress called Jacob… What about me?” She giggles and gets up. “I have news..” she says while grabbing my T-shirt to wear. I look at her, and she drops the bombshell. “Dad asked you to join us for breakfast.” Ahh fuck… “I knew this was coming…” I sigh. I cannot keep sleeping with his daughter while avoiding him altogether. “Don’t worry…” she says in a fake sympathetic voice, “I told him not to push you around this time.” That makes me laugh, and she grins back at me. “It’s not a pleasant experience to fall on your bum.” I tell her while getting back into the room. “How would you feel if my family aske
116. When she went missing - Trigger Warning - Implied Rape- West -.Everything is dark and blurry…Pungent smell of blood and urine is all over the place. I can hear someone sobbing. I blink repeatedly, trying to focus. Dread sets in my heart when I realize it’s Riley.How? What happened?I know it’s her.I am trying to think and turn my head to look for her. I heard her scream.Fuck!They got hold of her… My head is throbbing as I conclude the obvious
