Small hands hovered above my head in a bid to shield myself from the raw wire, the skin on my knuckles tearing painfully at each strike that met them. Blood spotted my skin, oozing from my now exposed dermis."Remove your hands, Blaze Xander!" The woman, who was supposed to be my mother, ordered while not ceasing her merciless beatings on a skinny eight-year-old.She grabbed my hands to pull them apart, and I cried at the top of my lungs, desperately crawling away from her on my stomach while my body scraped against the"I can't say no. Though the lights are on there's nobody home. Swore I'd never lose control then I fell in love with a heart that beats so slow." —Troye Sivan ft. Alex Hope.Chapter Theme Song: 'Blue' by Troye Sivan ft. Alex Hope.A/N: Please listen to the above song :)••HarmonyBlaze is a Sociopath. I have heard a few things about it in the movies, but I had no idea I would meet someone with the condition in real life.It means he lacks the emotion of empathy and all those feelings that make you "human." He cares for no-one, he trusts no-one, and sadly, he loves no-one. Which is exactly why he tends to use girls and exactly why he can't tell me that he likes me.Now that I know this, I realize that what he did, approaching me to get between my legs, was totally unintentional. He really can't help it.Based on
"It's you; it's always you. If I'm ever gonna fall in love I know it's gon' be you. It's you; it's always you. Met a lot of people, but nobody feels like you." —Ali Gatie.Chapter Theme Song: 'It's You' by Ali Gatie.••HarmonyIn no time, the bathroom door opens, and Blaze steps out fully clothed in a pair of grey shorts and a white tank top with wide underarm slits.He looks good even in bed-wear, and my eyes involuntarily drop to the front of his shorts. The bulge has lessened but when my eyes return to his I notice he's smiling with a knowing look on his face.Oh God. He caught me.I quickly shift my gaze to the Tv screen awkwardly. "Uh, I-I couldn't find a movie choice; I know you like horror, so I was just—""Hey, it's okay," he says as he advances over to where I am. "You can just choose a romance."
"Nothing feels better than this."—Khalid.Chapter Theme Song: 'Better' by Khalid.••HarmonyThe sun kisses my face with warmth as I open my eyes to its strong rays, spilling through the glass window of Blaze's dorm room.I am engulfed in his arms as my back snuggles close to his chest. His breathing is calm and relaxed, and his face is pressed against the crook of my neck, causing me to feel the air as they fall off his lips.I smile softly and bring my face around to look at him. The sight of him sleeping is visually pleasing, and I take it all in for a moment. I am happy that the sun has risen and he is still here with me.The door to the dorm suddenly thrusts open, and I jolt up onto my elbows to be greeted with James' amazed facial expression.Blaze is awakened by the sudden movements, blinking his eyes while he tries to loo
"I want you when the sun goes low, your body warmth wants me close. You say you're always by my side, 'till my blood runs dry. And I know that I won't be the same without you, don't let this moment slip away. I'll take you for a drive. Kiss me on the corner with your hand in mine."—Glades.Chapter Theme Song: 'Drive' by Glades.••Harmony"Did you get everything?" April asks me as I grab my backpack from the bed."Yeah. I think." I fix the straps onto my back as she reaches for her duffel bag from the ground.Saturday comes by in a flash, and we are getting ready to head to the pool party at Elviston's Resort. Due to the fact that the only bathing suit I have ever owned is a one-piece withSailor Moonon the front which I have had since I was fifteen, April offered to get me a burgundy swimwear with matching shorts at the mall downt

But some things you can't fix yourself."—Lauv.Chapter Theme Song: 'Changes' by Lauv.••Third Person"Just a quickie, Blaze.""Amber, no. I said I don't want to." He rolls his eyes heavenward as he grips her slender hands to move them away from his chest.They are now standing in the hallway that leads to the hotel's lobby, the music from the party sounding distant and faded. Blaze had no intention of giving this girl the time of day, but he didn't want her blabbering on about his brutal sex-life right in front of Harmony. She is the only girl he cares about, and if she were to view him in a negative light, he has no idea how he would be able to handle that.Amber scowls and wastes no time to hitch onto him again, this time lowering her hand to the strings o
"I didn't mean to bruise your heart. I'm so sorry it drove us this far apart. Drowning in a sea full of tears. I thought we could've lasted for years, and I still do, wanna live my life with you." —Rueben Gray.Chapter Theme Song: 'Lifeline' by Reuben Gray.A/N: Please listen to the above song :)••Third Person"Harmony."Kite's voice comes from behind her before his palm lays against her shaking shoulder."He doesn't deserve you if he doesn't trust you."She whirls to him with tears squeezing from her narrowed eyes, and the sight of her melancholy softens his gaze."Why did you do that, Kite?"His forehead puckers as something resembling remorse crinkles in his amber eyes."I am sorry, Harmony. But I can't say I regret it. I would do it again if I had to."She glares at him wi
"There's no reason; there's no rhyme. I found myself blindsided by a feeling that I've never known; I'm dealing with it on my own. I'm praying, but it's not enough. I'm done; I don't believe in love. Learning how to let it go. Dealing with it on my own."—Lany.Chapter Theme Song: 'Malibu Nights' by Lany.••Third PersonHarmony tries her best to keep up with Blaze's long-legged strides as they cross the pool deck to get to the hotel's building. The minute they have arrived inside the spacious lobby, his hand leaves hers abruptly. Her heart drops in her chest as she stares at her fingers that were only seconds ago, interlaced with his.He opens the door to his room, and as soon as they step inside, she begins to speak."I am sorry, Blaze. Kite kissed me; it was definitely against my will. I would never hurt you like that."He turns to her, and the fa
"Say you love me to my face, I need it more than your embrace. Just say you want me, that's all it takes. Heart's getting torn from your mistakes. 'Cause I don't wanna fall in love if you don't wanna try. But all that I've been thinking of is maybe that you might. And babe, it looks as though we're running out of words to say, and love's floating away." —Jessie Ware.Chapter Theme Song: 'Say You Love Me' by Jessie Ware.A/N: Please listen the above song! :)••Third Person"Liquor ladies?"A tall blonde guy, drenched from head to toe, stands above their heads as he holds a tray of red party cups. "It's all on the house."Tia peers over into one of the plastic containers in hopes of identifying its contents. "What is it?""Apple vodka, but it's kinda strong.""Oh, I love apples." She wriggles in h
"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

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

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

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
