Chloe It was now the second period, and I shared this class with Kai. We were discussing Hayden, who had to leave earlier because his ankle monitor started flashing red."So wait, he wasn't supposed to be here?" I asked Kai, furrowing my eyebrows. He nodded in response."He's not supposed to leave home, but he managed to mess up his ankle monitor," Kai chuckled, and I joined in."Well, I guess his freedom didn't last long," I remarked, watching as the teacher walked into our classroom.I made sure Hayden went home before the police showed up here. With a blank look, he left the building, but I wasn't entirely convinced he actually went home. Feeling exhausted, both Kai and I rested our heads on the desk and dozed off. Lunchtime arrived quickly, and my stomach growled, but I decided to delay eating. I had been losing weight slowly but surely, and I wasn't sure how to feel about it. It was great in one way, but it also highlighted my vulnerability. I allowed others' words to get to me,
Chloe I lay in bed, gazing up at the sky at two in the morning, unable to fall asleep despite having slept a lot during the day. The pangs of hunger gnawed at my stomach, demanding attention, but I ignored them. I was determined, even if it meant enduring a bit of suffering. Letting out a sigh, I was about to head downstairs when the vibrations of my phone on the nightstand caught my attention. My eyes darted toward it, and I furrowed my eyebrows, wondering who could be calling at this hour.My number wasn't something I gave out randomly. I had to trust people before sharing it, but even then, it hadn't worked out. I was too naive, trusting everyone who crossed my path. Curiosity getting the better of me, I picked up the phone, and the screen displayed a blocked number. Taking a deep breath, I answered, my heart pounding."Hello?" I responded."Wanna play a game?" A deep, distorted voice asked, sending chills down my spine."Who is this?" I inquired, and laughter erupted from the oth
ChloeThere was a long pause as my mind struggled to process my momentary lapse in intelligence."Iridium," Hayden responded, his genius shining through."Iridium," I repeated, expecting a reprimand from Chloe, but she held back."That's... correct," she sighed, surprising both of us. Moving on, I glanced down at my phone, raising an eyebrow at Hayden."I-" He was interrupted by a knock on his front door. He made no move to get up, and I couldn't help but laugh."Go check it out," I whispered to him, and he sighed before getting up."Yes, ma'am," he muttered as he stood and I silently giggled.I watched as he opened the front door, and someone immediately wrapped their arms around his neck. He remained still, waiting for them to let go. It was a girl with silver hair and an impressive physique. Her long legs were accentuated by the short skirt she wore, leaving me perplexed. She pulled away and smiled at him, looking around. I caught a glimpse of her blue eyes."Slim!" she exclaimed h
Chloe "How's my favorite girl?" Maya asked, and I laughed as she affectionately kissed my head.A throat cleared from behind us, and we turned to find Leah with her arms crossed."That's a bit hurtful, Maya," she said, and Maya smiled, giving me one more kiss on the head before pointing towards the stairs."Slim is up there getting tutored. Go grab him," she instructed me, and I nodded, heading up the stairs.I knocked on the door and waited for him to open it. The door swung open, but it was the girl from earlier who answered."Yes?" she asked, and I pursed my lips."Let her in, Loren," Hayden said irritably, and I wondered if his annoyance was directed at me."It's fine. Maya said to come get you," I said from outside before turning and making my way back downstairs.I joined the others, and we began looking at Maya's old album. She told us stories of her childhood, and I was captivated by her tales."My mother was difficult. Her husband sold my sister to a family for drugs. He tol
Chloe My hand instinctively dropped, grasping his wrist, but he shook his head, increasing his pace. At that moment, I lost control of my voice, and only moans escaped freely. A tight knot quickly formed in my stomach as his hand seized both of my wrists, pinning them above my head.My legs trembled, and I was bewildered by the sensations coursing through me. I had never experienced anything like this before. He left a trail of marks on my chest, and his fingers delved deeper. When he added a third finger, my back arched involuntarily, and I felt my muscles tighten around them.His gaze met mine as he moved lower, intensifying the knot in my stomach. Just as it was about to release, he withdrew his fingers. An involuntary whine escaped my lips, and he smirked, well aware of how frustrating it was for me. Instead, his finger hooked around the waistband of my underwear, swiftly pulling it off, leaving me fully exposed to him.He remained silent, and before I knew it, his head was betwe
Chloe It was now five in the morning, and I returned to bed for the next two hours before getting up and preparing for school. Surprisingly, I felt energized this time, without any reluctance to leave my bed. My phone had died when Hayden tried calling, so I left it at home to charge. As I descended the stairs, I found my mother sitting on the couch. When she saw me, a smile spread across her face."Hey, Baby. When did you get in?" she asked, and I pursed my lips."This morning," I answered truthfully, not wanting to lie to her."Where were you?" she inquired, raising an eyebrow slightly."At Hayden's house," I cringed, expecting a negative reaction. However, silence followed."Eh, I don't mind. I trust him," she said, going back to her show, and my jaw dropped.Aren't mothers supposed to shout and freak out when their teenage daughter stays at the house of the opposite gender? Then again, my mother didn't have much of a 'Motherhood' experience. I was just glad she was back home."Th
Chloe I heard him sigh before he took my hands and pulled me up. My gaze was dazed, unable to focus on him in that moment. I felt his intense stare burning into the side of my face as he tried to decipher what was troubling me. Another deep sigh escaped his lips, and he gently slid his arms under me, lifting me up. He placed me in the center of his room before returning to retrieve my clothes and a towel. He wiped away the water droplets from my skin, and I simply stared at him, feeling a numbness spreading through me. I felt empty inside. The only sensation I experienced was anxiety, which was enough to bring out my worst. His eyes pierced my soul, and I felt insecure under his gaze. His finger slipped under my chin, tilting my head upward so he could meet my eyes. But I kept my gaze fixed on the corner of the room, and he leaned down, planting a kiss on my jaw.Butterflies fluttered in my stomach, even though I still felt emotionally drained. I expected him to hand me my clothes
ChloeI woke up the next morning, feeling better than I did last night. My stepfather wasn't home when I got up. My mother was already in bed, and my brother wasn't home either. Despite that, I had another nightmare and ended up sleeping in the bathroom. Self-consciousness crept back in, and I wondered if it was my fault. Maybe the clothes I wore had something to do with it. Perhaps I should go back to wearing baggy shirts and sweatpants. Shaking off those thoughts, I glanced at the mirror and wiped away the fog. My wet hair clung to my skin, but my face didn't look as bad today. Usually, I'd have bags under my eyes and wear a grumpy expression.I got dressed, making an effort not to blame myself for what happened last night. Despite the nagging thoughts in my mind, I knew deep down that it wasn't my fault. It couldn't be. I grabbed my bag and phone, then headed downstairs, only to find an empty house.Nobody was home, not even my mother, which left me a bit confused. Nevertheless, I
