- KILLIAN - She’s avoiding me. It’s one thing to be understanding but it’s another to try to put up with it when I have so much going on. Hazel has not said a damn word to me for days. I’ve had no texts. No calls. Not even so much as a gaze from her and we literally are in the same school. I ca
- HAZEL - Nothing seems interesting. Each day, I’m getting closer and closer to losing my mind yet I’m trying to get my act together. No one really talks about how overwhelming it is to have to hide a part of you you’d love to talk about so much. How miserable keeping to yourself actually is. It’
- HAZEL - Standing outside the door of Killian’s office, I let out a heavy sigh. I feel strange. I’ve never felt this odd before when it came to him yet I do now. I can’t shove the thought that I’m a stranger here. I fold my fist and knock on his door, the usual triple tap. “Professor Killian, it
“Do you really want me to?” He asks, his nose leering on my skin. I bite my lower lip to stop myself from moaning. “Just say the word and I’ll stop.” Killian breath. His lips rest in front of mine before withdrawing back. I take in a suppressed gasp. “Stop. I don’t want you touching me or near me.
- KILLIAN - I didn’t just let her go without a plan or keep her distracted just because I wanted to or wanted her to remember the kind of pleasure only I can give to her, no. I needed her mind focused on something else so I could take her phone. It’s not stealing if I’ll return it. Consider this
- HAZEL - My heart is beating terribly fast in my rib cage and the heavy thumping of my chest with each heart beat leaves me alarmed. My mind is everywhere else but where it’s supposed to be and I don’t need to focus on anything else but my reality yet it’s hard not to. I can’t think straight.
Where on earth did I lose my phone?! When?! Could it be with the girls from the study group? I can’t even call them to reach out to them. I shove everything that fell from my bag to a corner of my bed then fall flat on my bed. I’m too exhausted to even act out my worry. The chances of me finding my
- OWEN - I hum a tune. A familiar one my mother used to sing. Something original and passed down for generations till it got to me according to her. It’s calming yet there’s something violent and murderous about it that makes it so thrilling. I guess that’s the kind of tune that’ll be catchy for
- HAZEL - I let out an exhale, resting on the car window. These past few days have given me some time to think. Not about anything serious, just more about the right thing to do and my well being. “When will we get there?” I ask my driver, my eyes still on the road through the tinted window. Since
- ASAMI - It hit me like a wave the moment my mind and body became responsive to stimuli. My memories came crashing back to me all at once like a plague and what’s worse? I can actually feel an ache at the back of my head. I bite my lower lip to hold in the groan that nearly leave my lips at the a
She is nothing like a lady. Or not a decent one at best. I wonder if she treated all her victims the same way. I wonder if she dined to their demise. “You surely have good taste with wine.” She husks, her voice dragging out. The lady rests her elbows on the desk, clapping both her hands to a side
- KILLIAN - I let out a sigh, playing with my zippo in a dark room in the penthouse of a hotel. I’m expecting an important guest tonight, one I’ve wanted to meet for a very long, long time. The end of one side of my lips curl. I’m not smiling. Far from that, underneath this eerie smirk of mine is g
I let out an exhale, remembering every encounter him and I had since the night we met. He was flattering. Very gentle and the good kind of masculine. He also held me to him when he lied about us to Kate. . . . And even though it’s just two people I’ve been with all my life, I’ve not been in a rel
- HAZEL - By the time I woke up, he was gone. My bed was nicely laid despite being on it and my window was shut. I couldn’t perceive his cologne and there was not even a single trace of him ever being in my room. That sucked. I know he was here but it doesn’t seem so. I miss waking up to him in
Her room is girly. Way too girly. All stylised with feminine colours. This makes me chuckle under my breath. Sleeping in a room like this would give me nightmares but I’m pretty sure she gets cotton candy dreams. The irony is funny. “Your room is. . .” I clear my throat, looking for the right word.
- KILLIAN - It was quite easy. Coming over. Not having access to her the whole day got to me. Even while working, it was all I could think about. That’s why I decided to pay her a visit. A surprise one. This morning may not have been everything we hoped for but I know her too well to know that
- HAZEL - I stare out the window, sat on my bed, enjoying the night sky and city lights. A smile forms on my lips as I take a breath of fresh air at the nostalgia. Home. I’ve missed home. It’s non chaotic and less harmful. It’s warm and cosy. Everyone loves me here. Sadness suddenly becomes arde
