“Oh, Shit!” I laugh, as Cole spits out alcohol onto the hard table, unable to keep it down as liquid flows through his nostrils. I shift away from the surface of puke as the brunette on my lap shakes her head in disgust.
“I give up, I give in,” he says between breaths, and my lips spread in a grin.
“I can see that. My money.” I stretch my hand out, and he sighs, digging into his trousers with a pained face. James stands next to me, laughing his face off whilst awfully chewing on a straw.
Would you believe me if I told you that I hate being here, at this party, around all these people? I can’t pinpoint one person in this room that I genuinely like. James is alright, but I can’t feel that brotherly love that other people feel for their bros. My heart is just void, and all I can think about right now is how this brunette’s rear is pressing the life out of my dick.
“You sons of bitches should know that yo
•• Harmony I place my pencil and crayons down, pleased with what I have produced. It has been a while since I have exercised the talent, so I am appalled that my skills are still the same. I smile to myself as I tilt my head, staring proudly at the accurate piece. I intended to draw just a pair of blue eyes, but now Blaze’s entire upper body is on the paper. My photographic memory has saved his image so clearly in my head and I could not resist the urge to carve more than just his eyes. It’s scary how precise the illustration is, that I can feel butterflies gathering around in the pit of my stomach. I stare into the eyes of the sketch, my cheeks becoming flammable once again. “Don’t let him near you” “You will regret it” I flash my head. Drawing an image of him does not mean that I am interested in him. I am sure. Now that I’ve proven to myself that my talent is still present, I shoul
“So you brought out the best of me. A part of me I’ve never seen. You took my soul and wiped it clean. Our love was made for movie scenes.”—Emma Bale. Chapter Theme Song: ‘All I Want’ by Emma Bale. (A/N: ^please listen the above song at the scene where Harmony sings it in the chapter :) •• Harmony The light of dawn seeps into my room, the hot sun scorching my face and forcing me out of slumber. I sit up in bed craggily, promptly noticing that the room is quiet and empty. Drifting sleepy orbs to the nightstand, I realize that a small note sits there. I reach over for it, wiping drool from my mouth with the back of my hand. Didn’t wake you up cause I wasn’t sure if you had an early class. I left early, see ya latez :) —April. Luckily, I don’t have literature until nine, or else I would have been tardy for my firs
•• Harmony “So another thing you need to know is that the food here is nasty as hell,” Mal informs as we walk from the theatre, and I chuckle as I look up at him, listening keenly to every word of advice he’s giving me. He has been here for two years now, so he’s a lot more familiar with the environment. Hence, his words are gospel for me, I need to take everything in like a vacuum. So far, his personality is golden, and it’s really refreshing to finally meet someone here who seems level-headed and collective. No offense, April. I crinkle my nose with a smile, gripping my straps while swinging in my strides. “I have tried the sandwich from their snack bar, it’s not so bad.” “The snack bar isn’t bad, but the cafeteria? Is awful. I think Pat needs to get us better lunches.” And we chuckle. During our shared laughter, my eyes spot an open room, and inside holds a shiny black piano. A stab of nost
“I’m jealous, I’m overzealous. When I’m down I get real down. When I’m high I don’t come down. I get angry, baby, believe me. I could love you just like that and I can leave you just as fast.” —Julia Michaels. Chapter Theme Song: ‘Issues’ by Julia Michaels. •• Harmony The car is silent as we propel along the slippery road, the sound of rain splattering against metal and the faded roars of passing vehicles filling the frigid void. I had no idea the ride to the mall would be this long. I am dying of anxiety being in this tiny space next to him, and the fact that he’s half-naked makes this situation even more nerve-wracking. I quietly puff air from my cheeks, rubbing my palms along my legs in restlessness. Blaze glances over at me and softly smiles before focusing back to the road. “So, who taught you to play the piano?” I gaze at him at the posi
** Harmony I place my palm over my head and hurry toward his vehicle, quickly pulling the door and sliding in. I wipe water from my clothes as I look over at him. His expression is stern and unsmiling, and I shrink in my seat. “Are you okay?” “The man is perfectly fine, he can work to earn an income, so I have no idea why you just gave him your money,” he starts, turning his glare at me. I take notice of how dark his pupils have become, and he seems a lot different than who he was thirty minutes ago. “It’s called caring,” I answer. “Or being stupid. He has two legs, just like us. Everyone is trying to find their way in life, he should get up and try too, not fair for him to take other people’s hard-working money.” I drop my gaze to the plastic bag in my lap. He has a point but there is no danger in giving. I won’t apologize for being softhearted; I feel like Blaze just lacks compassion. He sighs when h
"Terrors don’t prey on innocent victims."—Imagine Dragons. Chapter Theme Song: ‘Bad Liar’ by Imagine Dragons. •• Blaze “Yo, where have you been?!” James glances at me from the PS4 game he’s playing on the small couch, the loud game system reverberating throughout the cramped dorm room. “You’ve been MIA all morning.” Instead of responding with words, I coil my fingers under my T-shirt and tug it over my head, fluffing it into a ball before sailing it straight into his face. He hisses and grabs it from next to him, keeping his eyes on his game as he blindly throws it across the room. It lands on the floor and I shake my head as I drop my bag of snacks and car keys on the table. Nasty fucker. Making my way to the mini kitchen, I kick the garment out of my way as I stifle a loud yawn. I open the fridge and retrieve a bottle of cool water before nudging the door cl
•• Third-person Pov “Hey wait up, Harmony!” Stopping in her tracks, she looks around with shirred brows to see Malcolm scurrying up the hall toward her. A smile graces her lips as her small features pipes up in a blink. She hasn’t seen him since Literature class. Even though she has only met him a few days ago, she cannot deny how comfortable she is with him. He is one of the only three males that she doesn’t feel unsettled around—her dad and Collum completing the shortlist. They don’t give off that intimidating vibe that Blaze and other members of the masculine gender does. Malcolm comes to a stop in front of her, catching his breath tiredly. Harmony giggles at the state he is in as he braces his back dramatically. “Hey.” “Hey.” She smiles. “They have this-uh...” He blows his cheeks out, and she chuckles. “Breathe and talk slowly.” “The music club is opening today; their first meet. I
“Guess it’s true, I’m not good at a one night stand. But I still need love ’cause I’m just a man. These nights never seem to go to plan, I don’t want you to leave will you hold my hand?”—Sam Smith. Chapter Theme Song: ‘Stay With Me’ by Sam Smith. •• Harmony When I get to my dorm room April is on the bunk bed painting her fingernails while Yuna and Tia are sitting on the floor’s mat painting theirs. It appears they are getting ready to head to another party. And at this point, I strongly suggest that this university makes partying a part of their curriculum. They look up at the closing of the door, greeting me with kind smiles. “Hey Harmony,” April says, steadily applying the purple paint onto her thumbnail. Her hand shifts and she loudly curses, reaching for a napkin while she tries to position the transparent bottle onto the bed. I watch he
"I can't make you love me if you don't, you can't make your heart feel, something that it won't." —Tank/Adele.Chapter Theme Song: 'I Can't Make You Love Me' by Adele.••Harmony"I have to go," I mumble with a hung head while quickly moving past him. With a loud sigh, he grasps my arm to halt my steps. "Harmony, wait."I hastily free myself of his grip and glance around the area. If Blaze sees us talking, he will certainly be mad. I respect him just as much as he respects me.I take a step back. "What are you doing here?""To see you." He shrugs. "Why aren't you answering my text messages?""I didn't see them..."He simpers and shakes his head. "Now you're lying? You know WhatsApp is known for its 'read recipients' feature, and I see that my messages get 'blue ticked' all the time, you don't have to lie.""Look, Kite, I like you but not in the way you want me to." I sigh. "I love Blaze."He nods and scratches his nose. "Yeah, but does he love you?"I don't say anything, I just look a
"Just close your eyes, you and I, will go out of space and time." —Natalia Lesz.Chapter Theme Song: 'Fire In The Sky' by Natalia Lesz.••HarmonyI have no idea when we arrived at the school's back section, away from the concert. I can hear the faint sound of the loud music as we sit on a seat situated under a massive tree.The chirping birds are melodies to my ears, and the wind feels cool and refreshing as it dances through the leaves. As the sun slowly sets, it releases slim rays of yellow lights on the bench we're sitting on.This is more like it. Being alone, away from everyone, with the person I love is the most priceless feeling."The school feels a lot better when no one is around." I smile.Blaze nods. "It does. Imagine if it were just us two in the world...it'd be great. At least then, I'd feel like I am 'living' and not just 'existing.'"I look at him. "You feel like you're just existing?"He shrugs lightly. "Yeah. A few weeks ago, I couldn't find the purpose of life. I me
"But how am I supposed to love you when I don't love who I am? And how can I give you all of me when I'm only half a man? 'Cause I'm a sinking ship that's burning so let go of my hand. Oh, how can I give you all of me when I'm only half a man?" —Dean Lewis.Chapter Theme Song: 'Half A Man' by Dean Lewis.••HarmonyThe evening air is a little humid, so I ensure not to leave behind my grey, oversize hoodie. It belongs to my late father but I took possession of it due to how roomy and warm it is. But it isn't solely because of that. No matter how many times I wash the fabric, I can still smell his scent on it. It feels as though I am getting a gigantic hug from him whenever I wear it, and it is comforting.April takes my advice and wears my turtleneck top, and I have to admit that it looks far better on her than it does on me. The long, satin sleeves hug her slender arms perfectly as if the shirt was custom-made just for her. I plan on letting her keep it; it fits her too well.Yuna and
“And I will find my strength to untape my mouth when I used to be afraid of the words but with you I’ve learned just to let it out now my heart is ready to burst. ’Cause I feel like I’m ready for love and I wanna be your everything and more. And I know every day I say it but I just want you to be sure, that I am yours.” —Ella Henderson.Chapter Theme Song: ‘Yours’ by Ella Henderson.Warning: Chapter May Contain Mature Sexual Content.••HarmonyHe pulls me on top of him so that I am straddling his lap, and his hard-on immediately grows firmer against my center. It scares me a little, but I don’t move away. I don’t want to be free from his kiss, not yet.With our mouths still joined together, the hand caressing my waist wanders down until he’s tugging at the drop strings on the front of my shorts. Abruptly, I break the kiss, and his cherry lips jut at the action, wonder reeling in his mesmerizing eyes. My lips part as I stare back at him, my chest lifting and falling.He smiles. “What?
"I think of you whenever I am alone, so please don't go." —Joel Adams.Chapter Theme Song: 'Please Don't Go' by Joel Adams.••Harmony"So, what movie would you like to watch?" Blaze asks while he skims through Netflix on my laptop.I tuck a leg underneath me and hand him the bag of chips while I take a cupcake from the small carton."Anything is fine." I smile."Anything?" He lifts a brow mischievously, and I chuckle."Except horror...or anything with a possible sex scene..." I mumble the last part, but he hears and begins to laugh."Yeah. I remember that last time you almost shook us both off my dorm bed." He titters."We can watch that." I point at the recently re-made 'The Lion King.'Blaze frowns but taps on it anyway. "Cartoon? Really?""No, it's not a cartoon; the graphics look more real than not. This is the recent one that came out some time ago.""Alright, anything for you anyway." He says, and I smile.He sets the laptop at the top of the bed, and we both lay onto our stoma
"Someone taught me that I was evil." —Kate Vogel.Chapter Theme Song: 'Rain' by Kate Vogel.••HarmonyI am standing in my spot motionlessly, glaring at her and trying to understand how she got inside when I am positive, I had closed the door. I know Blaze can pick a lock, but Maddie? Can she?Taking notice of my obvious confusion she lets out a mirthless chuckle."I am so sorry; did I startle you?"Her question snaps me back to reality, and I shake my head. "Um, no...I just...thought I had closed the door...what brings you here?"She shrugs her shoulders as she steps closer. "Oh well, I am just paying you a visit, is that odd?"I shake my head while running my palms against my shorts. Her presence makes me agitated and fretful because the look she gave me earlier at the meeting did not seem normal at all."I mean, my dorm room is right next door to yours, so it's just two seconds walk." She states."Wait...your room is next to mine?" I lift a brow.She giggles. "Yes, silly. My daddy
"Every time you hold me close, I feel you're trying to save a broken soul." —Declan J. Donovan.Chapter Theme Song: 'Numb' by Declan J. Donovan.AN: I think the above song fits Blaze perfectly! :) Please have a listen!••Harmony"Woah, that was amazing!" Mal compliments as he walks over to me. The music meeting has ended, and everyone is gradually filing out of the room.Maddie is behind him, and she's looking from me to Blaze with the same frown engraved on her face."Thanks, Mal." I smile."That was awesome, Harmony!" Justine inputs as she joins us, smiling from ear to ear. "I enjoyed it.""Thanks, I am happy you did. It means a lot to know that you guys found it entertaining.""Oh, the whole club did." She chuckles. "The way you were staring at Blaze so passionately, I think the whole school knows you both are in love now."Heat spreads to my cheeks in a matter of seconds, and I glance over at Blaze, whose face is now abnormally red. Is he blushing?Maddie tenses visibly then forc
"It's something that I'll never know, how you can love someone so broken, so right." —Jess Glynne.Chapter Theme Song: 'Broken' by Jess Glynne.AN: Hey Guys! Very important, please listen to the above song when Harmony sings it in the chapter, it may not make much sense if you don't, lol.••Third Person POVBlaze opens the transparent door that leads to the music room, Harmony's hand firmly interlaced with his as he steps in. The crisp air conditions drafting over the room doesn't ease her anxiety since she can still feel her palms becoming clammy from unease.She is standing behind his tall figure like a timid kitten, and between the narrow spaces of his arm, she can see a few heads twisted in their direction. As usual.Oh, how she hates the spotlight.Blaze glances down at her from over his shoulders, amused by her hiding behind him. "Hey, don't be afraid, alright? I got you, green eyes."She smiles up at him. "Thank you, Blaze."Maddie, who sits with Malcolm in the far-left corner
"When I look at you, I see forgiveness, I see the truth. You love me for who I am." —Miley Cyrus.Chapter Theme Song: 'When I Look At You' by Miley Cyrus.••Harmony"What promise did you make?" April asks as she walks over to sit next to me on the bed.Maddie finally left after I reassured her five times that I would speak to Blaze on her behalf.I suspire heavily, having used up all my physical and mental energy. "She asked me to ask Blaze if they could be friends."April's eyes widen at this. "Oh damn...so you agreed?""Uh...yeah." I rub my arm, and her eyes are even larger now if that is even possible. She shakes her head repeatedly."Oh no, Harmony. Sweetie, you have no idea what you are doing. She will take your man, dear. Listen, she doesn't want to be 'just friends' with him, okay? Maddie is obsessed. She's kind of 'coo-coo' in the head." She rotates her finger at the side of her head, and I resist the urge to smile."She's not sane. I think when Blaze took her v-card, he also
