Chapter 106JasonI took a deep breath as I entered the kitchen, where my mother was busy chopping vegetables for dinner. I knew I had to tell her the news about Regina, but I wasn't sure how she would react."Hey, Mom," I said, trying to sound casual. "Can we talk for a minute?""Sure, Jason," she said, turning off the stove and giving me her full attention. "What's on your mind?"I paused for a moment, gathering my thoughts. "I just wanted to let you know that Regina is doing better," I said finally. "We went to see a therapist the other day, and it really helped her to talk things out."My mother's eyes widened in surprise. "Really? That's great news, Jason! I'm so glad to hear that."I nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. "Yeah, it was really hard for her to open up at first, but once she did, it was like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders.""That's wonderful," my mother said, beaming with pride. "I'm so proud of both of you for taking this step. It takes a lot
Chapter 107ReginaI woke up to the sound of a whisper, "Don't forget about your revenge on Angie and the others, Regina. You must be hasty about it." I bolted upright, my heart racing as I tried to locate the source of the voice.It sounded like it was coming from inside my head, but it was too clear and distinct to be just my imagination. I rubbed my eyes and tried to shake off the drowsiness, but the voice persisted."It's time, Regina. You can't let them get away with what they did to you. You need to make them pay."I recognized the voice. It was the same one that had been speaking to me for weeks, ever since the incident with Angie and her friends. At first, I had tried to ignore it, convinced that it was just my subconscious trying to deal with the trauma. But as the days went by, the voice grew louder and more insistent."I know," I muttered, as I got out of bed and stumbled to the bathroom. "I haven't forgotten.""But you're not doing anything about it," the voice chided. "Yo
Chapter 108JasonAs I sat beside Regina, I noticed her standing near her locker with her head held high. I couldn't help but smile as I approached her, knowing that she had just stood up to Angie, the notorious school bully."Hey, Regina," I said, greeting her with a nod. "I saw what happened with Angie. You were really brave."Regina looked surprised by my compliment, but a small smile spread across her face nonetheless. "Thanks, Jason," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. "It wasn't easy, but I couldn't let her keep bullying me and you."I could see the determination in her eyes, and it filled me with admiration. Regina had always been a quiet and reserved person, but today she had shown a strength and courage that I had never seen before."You did the right thing," I told her, patting her shoulder. "Standing up to bullies isn't easy, but it's the only way to stop them."Regina nodded, her smile growing wider. "I know," she said. "And I'm not going to let her or anyone e
Chapter 109ReginaI picked up the phone and dialed the number I had memorized by heart. After a few rings, my father's voice crackled through the speaker."Regina, is that you?" he asked, his voice heavy with emotion."It's me, Dad," I replied, trying to keep my own voice steady.We talked about small things at first, the weather, how I was doing at school. But then, I felt compelled to share something that had been weighing heavily on my mind."Dad, I wanted to tell you about Jason," I began, nervously twisting the cord of the phone around my fingers."Who's Jason?" my father asked, his voice suddenly guarded."He's just a guy I've been seeing and remember he came to see you a few weeks back," I said quickly. "But he's more than that. He's been taking care of me, Dad. He's been there for me when no one else has."There was a long pause on the other end of the line, and I held my breath, waiting for my father's response."I'm glad to hear that, Regina," he said finally, his voice sof
Chapter 110JasonAs I made my way down the street, I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed that our time together had come to an end. If I had my way, I wanted to be with Angie every minute and not seeing her now affected me more than I could ever imagine but if there was one consolation I held onto, it was that I would see her in school next week. At least, that counted for something. As I drove down the street, heading towards my house, that's when I saw Angie, walking towards me. I tried to avoid her, but she caught up to me and waved down my car and thinking that she was distressed, I stopped."What were you doing at Regina's house?" she sneered."I was just hanging out with her," I replied, rolling my eyes.I couldn't see how that was any of her business but because I wanted to indulge her, I had to do that.Angie's expression turned serious. "Listen, Jason. I know you have a crush on her, but you need to stay away from her. She's bad news.""What do you mean?" I asked,
Chapter 111ReginaI take a deep breath and steel myself as I approach Angie, my heart racing with anger and frustration. I can't believe she would do something like this to me."Angie, we need to talk," I say, my voice tight with emotion.Angie looks up at me, a frown on her face. "What's up?" she asks."I heard what you told Jason about me," I say, my eyes narrowing. "You told him that I'm involved with bad gangs, and that's why I'm always so secretive and mysterious."Angie's eyes widen, and she starts to stutter. "I, I didn't mean it like that, Regina," she says. "I was just trying to, you know, make you seem more interesting to him.""Interesting?" I snap. "You call spreading lies about me interesting? Do you have any idea how dangerous that could be for me? Do you even care about my reputation at all?"Angie looks down at her feet, her face turning red with shame. "I'm sorry, Regina," she says. "I didn't think it through. I was just trying to help.""Help?" I repeat, my anger ri
Chapter 112JasonThe next morning, the whole school was agog and for the life of me, I had no idea what was really going on.As I walked into the crowded school hallway, I noticed a strange sense of unease in the air. It wasn't until I saw Angie, that I realized what was wrong. Her usually thick and luscious hair was now patchy and uneven, with large bald spots showing through.Angie was surrounded by a group of girls, all of them looking at her in shock and awe. I couldn't help but feel a little satisfaction at the sight of the bully getting her comeuppance, but at the same time, I couldn't help feeling a little scared. If someone was capable of doing this to Angie, who knew what else they were capable of?I made my way over to my locker, trying to ignore the whispers and murmurs that were spreading throughout the hallway. Nobody seemed to know what had happened to Angie's hair, and I was no exception. All I knew was that the school was in disarray, and nobody knew who was behind it
Chapter 113Regina- A day beforeI sat in my bedroom, my head in my hands. The voices were whispering to me again, telling me to do things, to make people pay for their wrongs. I tried to ignore them, to push them away, but they were persistent. They wanted revenge for all the times i had been wronged.One of the people on my list was Angie, always had been. She had tormented me for years. I had always been too scared to stand up to her, but the voices were pushing me to take action. And so, i decided to use my powers through the voices speaking to me to get revenge.I waited until Angie was alone in the locker room after gym class. Then, i closed my eyes and focused, letting the voices take control. I visualized Angie's hair falling out in clumps, and a few moments later, i opened my eyes to find that it had actually happened. Angie was bald.I felt a rush of satisfaction, but it was quickly replaced by a feeling of emptiness. The voices were still whispering to me, but i didn't feel
Chapter 128JasonI was sitting in the school courtyard, trying to gather the courage to do what I had been thinking about for weeks. I had fallen deeply in love with Regina, that much was certain and I knew I needed to tell her how I felt and I wanted the whole school to know it.As I stood up and walked towards her, my heart was pounding so loudly in my chest that I thought everyone around me could hear it. When I finally reached her, I took a deep breath and blurted out, "Regina, I love you. I'm never going to leave you."Regina's face turned bright red, and she looked down at the ground shyly. But before she could respond, we heard a loud commotion behind us. It was Dean, Regina's former boyfriend, and he was beyond angry."What the hell is going on here?" Dean shouted as he stormed over to us. "You think you can just waltz in here and steal my girl? You're nothing but a loser, Jason!"I tried to explain that I wasn't trying to steal Reg
Chapter 127JasonI took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down, but the anger was still boiling inside me. How could she do this to me? Regina had broken my trust once again.I walked into our apartment and slammed the door shut behind me. Regina was sitting on the couch, scrolling through her phone, completely oblivious to my presence. I stood there, watching her for a moment, trying to contain my rage. She had come that evening, thinking it would be a soft ride for her but little did she know that I was still angry with her."Jason, is everything okay?" she asked, finally looking up from her phone."No, everything is not okay," I snapped. "How could you do this to me, Regina? I trusted you and you went behind my back."Regina's expression changed from confusion to guilt as she realized what I was talking about. "I didn't mean to hurt you, Jason. I just didn't know how to tell you.""That's not good enough," I said, my voice ra
Chapter 126ReginaI woke up early on a Saturday morning, feeling a sense of excitement that I hadn't experienced in a while. After weeks of non-stop studying and attending classes, I finally had a weekend off from school. And I had a special plan in mind for my boyfriend Jason.I tiptoed into the kitchen, trying not to wake him up. The kitchen was quiet, and the sun was barely shining through the windows. I opened the fridge and took out the ingredients I needed for my surprise. Flour, sugar, butter, eggs, milk, and a few other things. I put them all on the counter and started to preheat the oven.I then went to the pantry and found a recipe for vanilla cupcakes. I had never made cupcakes from scratch before, but I was determined to make these ones perfectly. I measured all the ingredients carefully, following the recipe to the letter. I mixed everything together, watching as the batter slowly turned into a smooth, creamy texture.As I was mixing, I couldn't help but smile, thinking
Chapter 125JasonI walked purposefully towards Dean with my fists clenched at my sides. My heart was pounding in my chest, and my mind was racing with all the things I wanted to say to him.When I reached him, he was surrounded by his usual gang of followers, all of whom looked up at me with a mixture of surprise and amusement. But I didn't care. All that mattered was getting through to Dean and making him understand what he was doing to Regina."Hey, Dean," I said, my voice steady and calm, even though my insides were churning. "We need to talk."Dean sneered at me. "What do you want, loser? Come to beg for mercy?"I ignored his jibe and got straight to the point. "Listen, I know you've been taunting Regina lately. And I'm here to tell you to cut it out."Dean laughed in my face. "What, you're her knight in shining armor now? She doesn't need your protection, man."I took a deep breath and tried to keep my temper in check. "I
Chapter 124ReginaI walked into the school counselor's office feeling nervous and uneasy that fine morning. I had been having trouble with Angie and everyone knew she had been bullying me for weeks, if not months. I didn't trust her, and I knew that she was up to something, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was.The counselor, Ms. Lee, greeted me with a warm smile and asked me to take a seat. I took a deep breath and began to tell her about my problems with Angie. I told her how Angie would make fun of me in front of my classmates, and how she would spread rumors about me behind my back. I also mentioned that I didn't trust Angie and that I felt like she was up to something.Ms. Lee listened attentively, nodding her head as I spoke. When I finished, she gave me a reassuring smile and told me not to worry. She said that Angie was probably just going through a tough time and that I should try to be more understanding.I wasn't satisfied
Chapter 123ReginaI sat on the couch, my head resting on a pillow as I stared at the TV without really seeing it. I felt drained, both physically and emotionally. My mind was foggy, my thoughts a jumbled mess, and my heart heavy. It had been a tough few weeks, and it felt like I was barely holding it together.Just then, Jason walked in the door, his smile immediately brightening up the room. He had rushed to the main mall to get some things and I knew that he must have gotten my favorite tub of ice cream. He kicked off his shoes and made his way over to the couch, sitting down next to me and wrapping his arm around my shoulders."Hey, how are you feeling?" he asked softly.I shrugged, not quite sure how to put into words the tumultuous storm raging inside me. But before I could even try, Jason spoke up."I just wanted to say how proud I am of you for fighting through this. I know it hasn't been easy, but you've been so strong and resilient
Chapter 122JasonWhat do you do when you feel all hope is lost and you have no reason for living anymore? What do you do when you see the love of your life slowly slipping into a depressive state, one that she isn't able to get out of? Well, that was the state Regina was currently in and what made it worse was the fact that I had absolutely no idea on what to do.We had tried all we could to help her situation but nothing seemed to be working at all and I was getting more worried by the minute because it just seemed like Regina was sinking much more deeper into her depressive state.''What's got you all worked up?'' my mother asked, walking into the living room.I sighed, staring into space whilst looking at nothing in particular. Everything I was thinking of and was happening just put a damper in my mood and I wanted it to end as soon as possible. I was feeling bad for Regina and I wanted her to heal on time.''Its Regina, it doesn't seem like she's getting better which hurts me.''
Chapter 121ReginaI arrived at the therapist's office, feeling a mix of nervousness and relief. Nervousness because I was about to open up about some very personal things, but relief because I knew this was the right decision for me.I had been struggling with my mental health for some time now, and it was taking a toll on my relationship with Jason which I didn't want happening anymore. He had been so supportive, trying everything he could think of to help me feel better, but I didn't want to burden him any further. I knew he had his own stresses and responsibilities, and I didn't want to add to them.So, I had made the decision to seek help on my own and with a different person. It was only a miracle I found her online and I knew she would be able to help me. It was a difficult choice, as I had always been the type to try to handle things on my own. But I knew that I needed professional guidance to help me navigate my emotions and thoughts.As I sat in the waiting room, I felt my p
Chapter 120JasonLater on, I took a deep breath before knocking on Regina's bedroom door. I knew this conversation wouldn't be easy, but it needed to happen. After a few moments, Regina opened the door and let me in. She looked tired and her eyes were puffy from crying."What's up, Jason?" Regina asked, as she sat down on her bed."Regina, I'm worried about you. I think you need help," I said, taking a seat next to her."What do you mean?" Regina asked, looking at me confused."I mean, I think you have a mental health issue, and I think it would be best for you to take some time off from school to focus on getting better," I said gently.Regina's face fell, and she looked like she was about to cry again. "Do you really think so?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper."Yes, I do," I said firmly. "I've noticed some changes in your behavior lately, and I think it's time for you to seek professional help."Regina nodded slowly, tears starting to fall down her cheeks. "Okay," she s
