It was days after the incident and nothing seemed to change so she only squeezed deeper into her small shell and tried her best to be invisible. If it worked.

She was always the first to leave a class and would she go straight to her usual place before everyone was out in the halls.

Just like every other day, she sat in the old and forgotten library.

Although it could no longer be called a library because of the lack of amenities, little to no furniture, and no presence, she could still perceive the smell of old books, and old wood and anyone could feel the emptiness of it from afar.

Which was why she chose this spot, plus no student in their right senses would choose to hang out there. Except for her, of course.

Placing her chin on her knees, she read a book, 'Unexpected Blessings' by Taylor Barbra.

Not her kind of book, but she'd found the not-so-old book covered in dust in the very library she sat in, although the book had some pages torn out of it, she was more than enjoying it

  • NOT SORRY I WANT YOU BACK   #15- Keep your head up

    "KEEP YOUR HEAD UP" was the last thing Jade saw before her face collided with her door, she fell backward with a heavy thud, and guess what she landed on. ..Right! her butt. "Christ! Not again...." Her butt was getting sore by too much of falling on it. Jade blamed it all on the stupid four words that got her whole life in a twist within just a few hours.First, she had gone home from school and refused to look down at anything or anybody at all, not even the O Scary green ghost with the hat in SpongeBob. Secondly, she looked her dad in the eye and said "am not hungry Dad" As childish and common as it sounds she had never said no to anyone, not at home and not in school thankfully the people at school didn't so much ask her for favors except for her big secret with April.She snuck her assignments to her all the timeShe'd tried her best to look up without feeling the need to look down every minute cause she was afraid someone would look up too and their eyes would meet, yeah she w

    At home, Adrian sat alone thoughts of her evading his mind again. What was the use of fighting someone who couldn't defend themselves? Even if you defeated them there was no pride in that. Secondly, the girl just didn't deserve all the stress, she deserved to be happy. He didn't have a third reason, except that he felt the need to be there for her when no one else was, he loved the feeling of her leaning on him.He stretched his clamp muscles, which were beginning to ache due to his sitting posture. He thought of how shy and pretty she was, her beautiful eyes, so innocent. Just then he had an idea, then he dug into his pockets and took out one of his iPhones.He unlocked it and dialed, seconds later her sweet voice whispered a small "hello". He let out a sigh, her mare voice played tricks on his senses and his hormones, something he wouldn't advise anyone to tamper with. He had almost forgotten she was still on the line, she whispered another "hello" more shakily and he knew she mus

    "Hey, i-i have something for you" Adrian stammered. "What's it PPboy?" Jade answered bubbling on her feet, she was eager to see what he had behind his back."Umm I will show you but on one condition," he said biting his lip. "And what could that be?" She asked him as his eyes drifted to her mouth"Kiss me," he said. Her cheeks heated at once, she had been waiting for it for so long. She leaned in and-There was a splash. "What the hell?" Jade screamed landing on the floor. With a groan, she used her arm to wipe the water off her faceShe looked up to see her assassin, and behold her stood in all her smirking glory, with her hands folded in front of her. She was so mad she just watched her without a word and her sister did not didn't look apologetic but her smirk dropped when she saw how angry Jade was, and she let out an awkward cough."Now sleeping beauty I would like more than anything to know why your alarm clock is outside your window, and why you aren't dressed for school but th

    She thought she was ready for it, but how wrong she was. Nothing in this world would have prepared her for it. Absolutely nothing. She wasn't surprised to see students who were in attendance or surprised to see April in the front standing with pride with her triumphant dirty smirk or that there were posters of her most embarrassing moments pasted everywhere It was horrible. That day at the library when Adrian pushed her down. The camera caught her perfectly.They had like, slut and Wanna be written all over the photos and a poster said "Just die already! Christ, her heart broke into a billion pieces and the air left her lungs when she saw her teddy koala bear torn into wicked shreds, everywhere.She knew that bear, it belonged to her. It was Mum's gift to her on her eighth birthday. Jan had fallen dreadfully ill that day so Jade hadn't expected any celebrations, both her parents had left her under the care of a nurse, Miss Rosa a widowed woman in her late thirties to watch over her.

    Sunlight peeked into the room through the curtains, maybe that was what woke Adrian up, or maybe it was the dream that Jade was in his bed cuddling so closely to him so comfortable and peaceful especially since she was safe.for a while, he didn't do anything he didn't shake he didn't even try to open his eyes afraid that the weight pressed against him wasn't real. she shifted, pressing her smooth face on the crook of his neck. shivers ran all over him, he loved the feel of it.wait! he wasn't dreaming he peeled his eyes open, she was actually in his room, on his bed, cuddling with him with her face stuck in his neck breathing lightly.he was relieved, she was safe and in his arms, the previous weeks had been hell probably the worst days of her life. they were too cruel to be true and to top it all her sister.

    That night, he kept steering in the bed like a kid, the distance between them was more than he liked. Instead of snuggling with him, she held on tight to the damn pillow like her life depended on it, and he desperately wanted to replace the pillow . He glared at the damn thing and wished it would just vanish then his little angel would have no choice but to run into his waiting arms. Adrian hated the fact that he had to fight for attention with a mare pillow and he wasn't going to let it win, he tugged the pillow away from her, and half expected her to wake up and ask for the annoying pillow but she didn't wake.Instead, she reached out in her sleep, and in her attempt to pull back her missing pillow, she pulled him in instead. Just what he wanted. He got his chance. He drew closer to her and her hands wrapped them tight around him, the scent of her hair enveloped him.Damn, he was stupid, he couldn't wipe that silly smile off his face, he let out a satisfied sigh and internally pat

    The body-rocking kiss ended only when they had lost their breaths, it was rough, wanting, and caring at the same time, he didn't want to redraw away from her, and neither did she. Her hands were around his neck and on his hard chest, she watched him watch her for every swell of her chest, every flutter of her eyes he was mesmerized by her. She didn't say a word for fear that it could ruin everything and she would fall back into a sickening reality.The kiss had answered so many questions for her. Why was she there in his home in the first place, why she was letting him help her, and lastly why did she end up in his arms every single time?She wanted to be around him all the time, she felt safe around him, hell she felt a lot of things about him already but she'd yet to place a label on it She was falling for him but she wasn't supposed.

    Ever sat quietly and then it drowned on you, your life didn't have much meaning? That you didn't know where it was taking you, that you seriously didn't understand your life? It happens sometimes to some people, that's why we shouldn't judge others. Jade felt it as she sat hugging her legs with her back against her bedboard.She'd not slept a wink last night, just trying to understand herself, she tried to retrace all she'd been doing all the eighteen and a half years of her life and couldn't find a spot to drop her anchor. There weren't any remarkable events for her, something like a big birthday party she enjoyed, or a good badge in the church, not even a silver medal in the commonest of sports nothing.All she was good at was getting straight A's and getting kicked on. She didn't even have a strong relationship with her parents like she thought she had and her sister's behavior was still a stunner. Yes hadn't been the bonding type and everyone gave her space. Maybe even too much

She knew he'd be there so she knocked on his door.He just said come in from inside and she went in. He stood there by the window, he was unbelievably good-looking. He continued to sip his coffee, looking outside, he didn't turn to look. Was he expecting someone? Maybe she wasn't sure. "I do not agree that you be discharged so soon, you are so stubborn, why?" He asked. "Got a phone call from the hospital, i took you there, so it was normal for them to inform me you were being discharged." She wanted to go to him and do everything that she wanted to do with him for a long time but first things first she needed to apologize."I'm sorry.

    Her heart rammed into its cage "Princess?" She turned around and jumped back. The voice was unfamiliar, and the face was more unfamiliar. She had never seen him before, who was he and why was he calling her princess not to mention he was standing way too close to her."Who are you?" She asked. The man was rough and his smile matched his appearance, he needed a toothbrush. What was he doing there? He didn't look like a worker on the estate and even if he was, he wouldn't be walking around by this time of the night and he didn't look like a server either all the servers had uniforms on. His beard needed a desperate cut, he looked like he'd had no shaving for weeks. His eyes looked reddish in general he looked dangerous in a very bad way. A lot of thoughts were running through her mind and his black hood did nothing to ease her thoughts. "Let go of me!" She ripped her hand away but he snatched it back. " Don't be afraid princess, I won't hurt you. I have better plans." The strange man

    Ashton's lake house looked pretty expensive and it was huge. Spread over four acres and with wonderful water views, the estate had a lake house, a large pool, and a terrace with outdoor dining space. There are seven bedrooms, a cinema, and a games room and the property is only accessible through the lake. The house was simply luxurious with huge glass doors and walls. There were patio heaters around, some standing stainless steel heaters that ran on propane, lounge chairs arranged to the sides with blankets, another corner was decorated with booze and also a round wooden table with at least fifteen chairs stood at one corner with a chess board and some other games and a DJ crew had been invited and fresh towels lay on a table for people who would want to take a deep in the water.A party was the last place she wanted to be but her friends would have none of it.

    Maybe it was the aftermath of his heart break? Maybe that was why he was being a little reckless here and there but she still knew it was her fault mostly or maybe entirely and every time she thought about him it still hurt. What was worse he wasn't even looking at her anymore even when they crossed parts. They'd entirely became strangers in a very short time and she had a reputation that she'd well earned. Xi had been more than a comfort through the breakup process, always bringing her flowers and being extra sweet and all but she didn't feel the same warmth in her stomach and she didn't feel the butterflies exploding at the sight of him or when he laughed, it wasn't the art she was used to and it didn't tug at her heart strings.How she'd manage to screw up things with someone who had done nothing but love her she couldn't explain. She had let herself get caught up in the socializing thing and being popular and being seen, he was right when he said she had changed but despite the r

She strolled to her mirror desk observed her face and peeled the half moon masks underneath her eyes, it did a nice job and she had no dark circles but she had a headache so she headed down to the kitchen. She slapped a few chests on the way until she got to the kitchen. It was empty but more cleaner than usual, she heard he'd been cleaning the kitchen more often, he was a neat guy no arguments. She popped a pill in her mouth and shut the drawer. When she turned around he was standing there shirtless in front of the coffee machine. The muscles on his back were tight and hot, so hot and his pants hung low on his hips. He always looked like a model whether it was in the middle of the day or he just woke up from bed. Damn him!Then she remembered who he'd gone out of the p

    Just like every other party, the house was filled with dancing bodies, the music was loud and the spirits were high, they pushed through the crowd and headed to the drinks. Tony handed him his own glass of booze and they down it together, and after two more they wiped their mouth with the back of their hand."Let's do this man." Tony's eyes scanned the crowd and it wasn't long before he found something interesting. "He squeezed his shoulder a little and pointed a brown skinned lady, she wore a short red skirt and a somewhat white colored crop top, her long legs were complimented by the heels she wore and the skirt hugged her ass in a nice way. "Nice taste!" He nodded approvingly. "I'll be back Tony signaled, then he headed for the hot girl. Soon the drinks section was filling up as the girls seemed to magnet towards him.

    The news flew quickly and everyone was talking about the guy who punched Xie at his own party, and ever since then Tony and his guys stuck very close to him. It meant to the other guys that he was one of them although he wasn't. Tony suggested it was a good cover and so he didn't fight on the matter.They were more like brothers to him now, he often sat around with them and sometimes he contributed to the conversations and jokes.In school it seemed like books were the last thing they were there to study, you had to study people, learn how to live with them, keeping a social life, keeping your good health intact and finding balance.He raked two muscular hands in his over grown hair, he didn't have his hair cut in three months now, it was over grown and past his shoulders now and it was giving him the Mombios look of a tough guy.
