♡ Mia's pov ♡
My teeth sank harshly into the bread, tomatoes, lettuce and what the hell was that? Was that ham?
I thought I asked the lunch lady for bacon?
"Woah chill babe, you're murdering the sandwich," Colby chuckled, passing me a napkin to wipe the stupid mayonnaise that dripped down the corner of my mouth.
I ignore him and keep my furious glaring eyes at the center table in the middle of the cafeteria. Well on a blue eyed devil to be more precise. I chewed the bacon- I mean ham sandwich furiously. Swallowing I go for another bite.
"Seriously the way you're murdering that sandwich might be a huge turn-on for one of those

♡ Mia's pov ♡I pulled into the driveway and noticed mom and dad weren't here yet. Kade didn't even let me remove my feet off the gas before he opens the door and gets out. It was as if he couldn't stand being in the same breathing space as me.I blinked and forced the painful feeling away from me.Giving Kade a chance didn't mean I should let him walk all over me.After parking, I got out of the car and stormed my way into the house. He had some nerve treating me like a pest when if I were someone else, I would've left his ass stranded in school.He was lucking I was a patient person.But even
♡ Mia's pov ♡"Gabriel brought his new truck to school today dad. Can I bring mine tomorrow? Please?" Austin asked, basically acting like his butt was itching with the way he couldn't stay still on the chair.Mom looks over at him as she places the barbequed wings on the table. " Why do you want to bring your truck to school Austin?"Austin squirms under mom's unwavering gaze. "Because I want to show it to him?"I rolled my eyes, picking at the mashed potatoes on the plate before me. I had lost my appetite which was strange. I didn't know why though. Mash potatoes were so good. But tonight even though the appetizing smell taunted me, I just couldn't eat it.
♡ Mia's pov ♡"I'm sorry about last night. I know I've been pushing you too much to bond with Kade. It's just that, he's your age you know? If anyone could get through him, I just thought-Mom stops and hurls in a tired breath before letting it out.I looked at her, really looked at her. She seems tired and disheartened. " I just want to get through to him. But I everytime I speak to him, it seems like he hates me more. Even your dad's having trouble getting through him. " Mom admits."I think you're doing a good job mom. Just don't give up, you'll get through him one day. And for what it's worth, I don't think he hates you," I whispered and ch
♡ Mia's pov ♡" Okay, so you're saying Brian Gomez invited you to his famous bonfire? And you're having second thoughts? Girl, do you know how many kids would kill to go there?" Colby exaggerated as he turned around to face me.It was lunch time and I was starving.I shrugged, my belly knotting in nerves. Why did I agree to go? I've never partied before. I didn't even know what to expect from a party."You're finally getting noticed by your forever crush! That calls room for celebration, we should definitely go!" Colby whistles." I don't know, I agreed because Kade said yes. I don't know what I was
♡ Mia's pov ♡" Brianna seems nice," I tried to make conversation as I darted my eyes to the rearview mirror to take a peek at Kade.He seems to be lost and tired. Had he not been sleeping properly?For a second I felt bad that he was mourning his mom's death alone. If only he would let me in.As bad as I am at consoling. Maybe, it would've counted if I just held him, hugged him. That always seems to work. For Kade though, I wasn't so sure it would've only ended with just a hug.Hearing my voice, Kade's eyes sweep over to connect
♡ Mia's pov ♡"Okay so I was thinking this one," I brought the cute flowing dress in front of my figure so Colby could see it.Colby scrunched his nose shaking his head. "That looks like a dress that screams, I'm about to head to a funeral to bury my goat,"I wince, looking down at the dress. It didn't look that bad. Yes, it was black and a little bit plain, but it looked comfortable. Probably two sizes bigger than me by the looks of it.I scrunch my brows as I fixed my gaze on the dress.Is this the dress grandma Marlie bought for me last year? Did I look that fat for her to buy a dress
♡ Mia's pov ♡I had that stupid giddy smile on my face the entire ride to Colby's. Kade had finally said my name. That counted for something right? He wasn't so cold anymore.My eyes draw to Colby's house. When will he emerge out?I tugged at the ends of the dress again for what felt like the twentieth time. Even with Kade's blatant warning ringing in my head, I still chose to wear the dress. It gave me a reaction from Kade, one I had been wanting from the moment he got here.Call me stupid, but I wanted to see how much more reaction I can get from him tonight. This felt like a fun game that I would hopefully win.
~ Kade's pov ~"Have a good time tonight Kade!" I heard Mrs. Cross yell from somewhere in the living room.I only managed a grunt as I closed the door behind me.I was well aware that she was trying to help me. But where was she when my mom was struggling? Where was she when mom cried out for her? Where the hell was she when I saw my mother's lifeless body littered with tiny injection scars that looked raw?Where the hell was she?She was like everyone else. They don't care about me. A couple more months until I'm eighteen and I'll be out of her hair.
Bailey's povI should have known. There's a bubble of laughter that's stuck in my throat, laughter that would be dry of any emotion they deprived me of if I could let it out. I could see it now, I now could see why this was very likely to be her. Juliet. As she took her elegant time to come down the creaky stairs, disgust twisted within me along with hatred. This makes it two people I now hate. Stefan crossed his arms, his gleaming amused eyes on me. I hated that I was their amusement toy. As her pretty face came into view, the sadist gleam in her eyes made a shiver run down my spine sharply. She's at the end of the stairs, her hand grabbing the handrail as she turns to face me fully. She grinned. " Well hello there Bailey," her giggle makes me nauseous and I rip my teary eyes away from her. Why did she go this far? What have I done to this girl?Stefan snorted, reaching out to grab a lock of my hair. I flinched away and he chortles with her. " Now don't act like we're strangers
Bailey's povThe familiarity of that voice sends a sharp chill down my spine, my heart hammering in my chest. It can't be. It cannot be him.I am imagining this.There was no way.It just can't be.Yet, his scent is familiar, and his voice....Pieces start to fall into place and my stomach lurchs and I gag as realization dawns on me. Someone I considered a friend. Someone I trusted. Why would he do this? Why would he do this to me?Why would Stefan do this to me?A wave of betrayal weighs in my chest and also fury. I can't believe I trusted him. Why would he even do this? I rake my brain, trying to think of why Stefan would even play this sick game with me but came up with nothing.But then when he dipped his head in the crook of my neck and inhaled my scent, sighing with pleasure, a sinking realization dropped in my belly. " You've always smelt so good Bailey."His words sent a sharp shiver of disgust and repulsion clashing within me. His close proximity makes my stomach churn and I
Bailey's povIt was getting late, dark and I knew my parents didn't need to worry about another kid right now. I fished out my phone and texted mom that I was fine and would be home in a second. My eyes caught their many missed calls, and I bit my lip, hoping I had not worried them too much. I caught other missed calls from Kaleb and Mirabella too, but, I couldn't bring myself to text back. I wasn't sure how I could break it to them that my life was falling apart. That if my sister was in pain, then that meant I was in pain too. And if something happened to her, I swallowed. Then something happened to me too. The park was empty now, everyone had already gone home. I peeled away from the swing, my bum a bit numb from sitting on it for hours. My throat was achy from crying and I cleared it, picking up my bag. And that's when I heard it, or better yet felt it behind me. I am about to whirl around, but I am too late as a huge hand clamp around my lower face with a rag. My eyes widen a
Bailey's povThe world stopped. It felt like it stopped. The words that moved passed her lips hit me so hard, that it pushes the air out of my lungs. Cancer. The word was like a mocking echo we had promised to leave behind us. We had won. She had won. I looked down at my little sister, squished between our parents. Her face is unreadable but I know she is well aware of what is going on around her. How? God why? She had won? Hadn't she?She had won!"No," I whispered, my heart tearing apart. I don't think I will have a heart anymore after tonight. It doesn't feel like it will heal after this announcement. I shook my head, my vision going blurry as I begin to cry. " It can't be. You're lying!" The last words come out like a yell, my throat aching with the aggressiveness I used. " Tell me you're lying mom!" I screamed, causing Lil to squirm away and look at me in fear. I quickly toned down my anger, not wanting her to fear me. I approached them, falling to my knees beside the bed, st
Bailey's pov"Can I have another?"I bit my lower lip to fight off the giggle but couldn't fight off the smile as I leaned over the console to plant a soft kiss on Kaleb's lips.He nibbled on my lower lip and before I knew it, we were kissing deeply. I was the first to break away, breathing so rough I had to take in a good amount of air into my lungs to calm down my racing heart.Kaleb lifted his hand and cupped my cheek, his thumb brushing against my cheek lovingly. "I love you," he whispered, every word coming out with such honesty I melted."I love you too," I responded truthfully, kissing his nose and giggling when he scrunched it up in an adorable way."Babe," he whined, pouting slightly. "I'm the one who is supposed to do that."I rolled my eyes, laughing as I pulled away, but for good measure, I planted another kiss on his nose and jokingly murmur. " I think I rather be the man in the relationship," with a teasing grin I successfully got out of the vehicle whilst he was dumbfou
Bailey's povMy fingers curled through his soft strands, gripping them tightly. My eyes closed, my hips buck off the bed and a scream curled in my throat as his tongue rolled around my clit teasingly.He groaned, gripping my thighs to keep me from moving as his lips wrapped around my clit and he sucked."Kaleb," I moaned and he nipped my clit, making me jerk off in surprise."Sam," he reminded, nipping my lips in warning. I giggled, only to moan when the tip of his tongue sank into my opening."Oh Sam," I sighed, my eyes peeling open to stare at him between my thighs. He had a satisfied smirk on his lips while his tongue was very much still inside my opening.With a dark look crossing his eyes, he began to push his tongue in and out of my opening, his upper lip pressing against my throbbing clitoris.He moaned as I grip his hair, my nails unintentionally scraping his scalp. He suckled and slurped, eating me out until I saw the dotings of the little stars in my vision.As he tongue fuc
Bailey's povA loud snore made me look over at the bed. Mira had fallen asleep about five minutes ago and Kristina and I didn't want to wake her up.So much for having a full two hour study time."Hmm I like it like that Ryan,"I furrow my brows and looked over at Kristina who gave me the same look. Amusement."Did she just talk in her sleep?" Kristy snorted giggle, throwing her hand over her mouth. I nodded, pushing my teeth into my bottom lip and hoping I'd not cave and burst into the laughter that was already bubbling in my chest."So good,"Kristina's eyes widen and she mouthed. "I think she's having a sex dream."I nodded, pressing my knuckles to my mouth as I stared at my drooling best friend on the bed. Someone would think she was dreaming about food with the amount of drool that slithered down the sides of her mouth."Definitely about Ryan." I giggled as Mira gripped the sheets and let out a small moan."It honestly feels like we're intruding on their moment." Kristy snorted,
Bailey's pov"I hate this," Mira moaned, turning around to lie on her back and stared, well more like glared at the ceiling.Mira, Kristina and I were doing a last minute group study for the exam tomorrow.Kristina rolled her eyes, lifting her arms over her head and yawned. "For the first time, I agree with you on this."Mira looked over at her in the bed, her eyes twinkling with that mischievous glint I know all too well. "How about you give us the details on what's going on between you and Mr Malik after your talk?" She wiggled her brows and turned around in her stomach.Kristina flushed instantly, her eyes quickly darting to the doorway. "Mira!" She hissed.Mira shrugged. "Parents not home yet and that dweeb of a brother is in his room, mopping because it's girls time and he can't have his girlfriend." She rolled her eyes, scrunching her nose."Hey," I said playfully to her. "Leave my man alone."Mira faked gag. "Did you hear it Kristy? Leave her man alone. Ew."I narrowed my eyes.
Kristina's pov"I'll see you guys later," I waved at Bailey and Mira as they left with Kaleb. They gave me worried glances and I smiled to reassure them that what I am about to do, I am okay and I can handle myself. As I watch the car drive away, I turn back around and stepped back into the school.School had just ended and everyone was making their way home. Except for me of course. I had unfinished business to do. That unfinished business had something to do with a certain art teacher who had been avoiding me like the plague.Justin usually stayed back a bit late. I'm not sure why, but whenever I have cheer practice he's always in his classroom when I pass by.I am praying he's still there and the classroom is empty.As I get closer, my fingers tremble and a spike of my heart rate made me swallow. I hated that I was so full of nerves. I didn't want to go over to him and stand in front of him and be a blabbering idiot.But I needed to do this.With a sudden burst of determination, I
