"Please don't call yourself that," Indianna said."It's true. I can't be trusted-""Would a monster feel remorse?" Indianna asked, cutting Tai off. "Do you think Rogue feels remorse over his actions?""That is different-""You are not a monster, Tai," Indianna insisted. "You didn't do what you did on purpose. As you said, you lost control. What happened has happened, it can't be taken back. The only thing we can do now is focus on the present. Tai, will you help us now?"It was a few moments before Tai acknowledged that Indianna had spoken. She pursed her lips and gave one sharp nod. "I need to wash this blood off of me," she said and turned on her heel and disappeared into Indianna's room.Indianna made her way to Greyson's room next. The scent of him surrounded her when she entered and she closed her eyes, caressing her bump. She didn't want to go without him. Indianna swallowed the lump in her throat and changed out of the clothes she had been wearing for dinner. Once she was in sw
DAY ONEIndianna was woken by Kal's snores, they were soft, but she had been struggling to sleep the whole night and now all she could focus on was Kal's heavy breathing. She sighed and turned over, trying to get comfortable which was rather hard with her bump. She was now looking at Greyson as he slept. He seemed so peaceful. His face was so calm and serene, she wished that he didn't have to wake up to the hell they were in.Greyson's eye twitched and Indianna knew that he was no longer asleep. He reached out, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her into his chest, resting his chin on her head and one hand on her stomach. *It's early, sugar, you should be asleep, not perving on me while I sleep.*Indianna chuckled slightly. *Sleep doesn't come easily these days.**Try,* Greyson pleaded. *It's 2am. You need your rest.**So do you.**I'm fine. I'm swapping watch duty with Oscar soon anyway.*The rest of the previous day was spent waiting anxiously for Oscar, Kirstie and Mac to ret
Indianna forced a smile. "I would never."Greyson chuckled. "Are you not eating any more, sugar?"Indianna stared down at the food on her plate, feeling full. She had taken a lot more food than she could manage to consume. She shook her head.Greyson turned to his sister. "Has she actually eaten a decent breakfast?""Greyson, I've eaten!" Indianna argued.Kirstie rolled her eyes. "Trust your mate, you dick. She ate enough for a whole family.""Great. In that case." Greyson took Indianna's plate from her and sat down between the two girls, tucking into the remains of Indianna's breakfast."We better get organised," Mac said, running his hand along Kirstie's thigh. "We gotta a lot of men to get today.""No rest for the wicked," Kirstie sighed and jumped up from the floor. "Let's go tear down Rogue's empire, lover."Mac chuckled and let Kirstie pull him up from the floor. "Let's do this.""You know," Oscar said, furrowing his eyebrows as he stood up with Kirstie and Max , "you'd think th
This is a side story to Shy following Harry and Brooke.You don't need to read Shy to understand this, but I'd massively appreciate it if you did.I'm going to say this now as a warning:This book is set in America but all the characters will most probably use British words and not be American-like at all.Please don't moan, it's my book and I want it that way, deal with it.Also, the guys in this book will be assholes. You can have a little whinge about it in the comments if you feel you really have to, but please don't comment how it's "too much" and how you hate the book and are going to stop reading.I've had numerous comments like that on Shy and it is horrible to read people slating your work.I'm not saying I expect everyone to love my stories, you can hate it if you want but please don't comment it and say how you're going to stop reading.If you're going to stop reading just do it, there's no need to announce it to the world.And lastly, I'm not sure how I'm going to end this
"Oh, Brooke, dear, you've grown into such a beautiful young woman!" Her aunt, Lisa, gushed, admiring her niece with adoration. "I'm wonderful dear, now you're here.""Thanks, Lisa," Brooklyn said, blushing from the compliment."Brooklyn, it's a pleasure to have you staying with us," her uncle, David, said and ruffled Brooklyn's curly blonde hair."Thanks for letting me stay," Brooklyn said sincerely. "Mum and dad are driving each other mental.""Tell us something we don't know," David muttered and shook his head. "I've never seen a more stressful divorce.""It's been crazy, but I am glad I'm away from them," Brooklyn shrugged."I'm glad you're with us," Lisa smiled. "I'm going to start dinner, it should be ready within the hour.""Okay," Brooklyn nodded and made her way back over to her bed where a magazine was laying."Oh, Brooklyn, I almost forgot; school starts tomorrow."*"It's... Cute?" Brooklyn desperately searched for a nice word to describe the bricked building in front of he
"I don't want to know what would happen if they got their claws into me," Brooklyn admitted and grinned sheepishly. "Am I mean for judging them so quickly?""Not at all," Sasha laughed. "They are bitches, trust me. You don't want to be in that 'clique'.""I'll take your word for it," Brooklyn nodded and looked down at her timetable. "Hey, can you help me find my lesson, since Brandon ditched me?""Course, what have you got?" Sasha wondered and looked at Brooklyn's timetable. "History, I have the same lesson, let's go!" She said happily and turned on her heel and started walking down the busy corridor with Brooklyn.Brooklyn studied Sasha as they walked. She was pretty, with short brown hair and a doll like face. She seemed rather confident and didn't look like she would take shit from anyone. She was nice enough to help the random new girl, that earned her a tick in Brooklyn's books."What's up, bitch?" Sasha said casually as they walked into a half filled classroom. Sasha grinned at
"I wouldn't say Harry is scary like Greyson, I would say he is threatening," Sasha corrected."They sound lovely," Brooklyn said and chuckled. "I'll make sure to stay clear of them.""If we see them we'll point them out so you can hide. They're probably going to be interested in you because you're new. We hardly ever get new people in this town.""Great," Brooklyn muttered."You'll be fine, they aren't that bad. Just be careful around Greyson and Harry," Sasha instructed."If Kal does anything stupid then I'll just fill his locker with fish guts again," Alice shrugged and laughed. "I'd pay to see his reaction again."*Brooklyn was lucky enough to have most of her lessons with Sasha, Alice and Violet who Brooklyn had been introduced to. Violet was pale with long dark hair, reminding Brooklyn of Violet out of The Incredibles.The three girls seemed lovely and Brooklyn clicked with them immediately. They had informed her of all the schools gossip and pointed out everyone of importance.
"Bonjour, bonjour! Come in, sit, my lovely children!" Brooklyn turned to look at Sasha with a raised eyebrow when she saw her French teacher. She was 4,11, wrinkly, had greying hair, bright pink glasses and was grinning madly at the passing students. "We call her Mrs Mental," Sasha whispered and Brooklyn stifled a laugh as the girls took a seat towards the back of the classroom. "She's a lovely old dear, but she's as nutty as you can get." Brooklyn chuckled. "I suck at French," she admitted. Sasha grinned. "Welcome to the club. Alice used to be in this class, but she got kicked out." "Why?" Brooklyn wondered and Sasha laughed. "She watched an episode of Friends," Sasha said and smirked. "She thought it would be funny to copy Joey from the episode when he was learning French. Yeah... It didn't go down well with the elderly French teacher who nearly broke down because Alice wouldn't stop. Arguably, it was hilarious, but I don't think Mrs Mental appreciated Alice's hard graft into
