♡ 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.
♡ Mia's pov ♡ I looked at Brianna nervously when Kade suddenly rise to his feet and walks over to us. But before he could reach us, an arm so heavy and cologne so strong weighs on my shoulder and senses. I didn't like the scent of his cologne. Brian tugs me away from his sister. " My turn to hog her Brianna," Brian joked. I found my eyes steering to where Kade was, only to now stare into his eyes more closely. The blue penetrating me. He glares down at me, then the arm slung over my shoulder. " I told you to not wear that dress Mia," "Ooh protective brother mode," Brian laughs, squeezing me closer to him. My brows furrowed at Brian's words, but Kade only seemed to grow more irritated. Ignoring Brian, Kade grumbles, looking over at Brianna. " Do you have any sweatpants that will fit her- Anger and humiliation grew within me. He was making this a huge issue. It was just a dress for God's
♡ Mia's pov ♡I've heard horror stories of party games going wrong, very wrong. One minute you're clothed, the next your bare ass cheeks are on full display for everyone to see.Yeah, I don't want to be a part of that."Come on Mia," Colby whined, fingers circling around my arm to tug me over to the half-drunken and wasted teens. " Don't be a bore." He whines, eyes pleading as I pushed my heels into the sand to somehow stop his tugging.I shook my head, peeking over his shoulder to the teens seated on the log ready to play whatever this drinking game was. I didn't know any drinking games and didn't want to find out what it was either."I hate games,
♡ Mia's pov ♡My hair whip behind me as I sprint towards my car. Never had I felt such humiliation before.I bit my bottom lip until it pained as I make my way to the driver's side. I wanted to get out of here. No, I needed to get out of here. Right now." Mia! " A loud yell had me stiffening but then my brain soon realized that it was the voice of my best friend, Colby.I whirl to face him and glared. "You're the one who forced me to play that stupid game," I seethed, blinking away the moisture I suddenly felt in my eyes.Colby raises his hands up and looks at me in pity. " Don't worry Mia. A lot of high schoolers haven't had their first kiss yet. You're not the only one," He tried to reassure.I scowled. Like that helped. " Yeah, well not everyone know that they haven't been kissed yet. But tonight everyone know my lips are virginized."Colby looks at me in confusion, walking over to the car. " What the h
♡ Mia's pov ♡And just like that I felt a rush of cold water being thrown on me.You're welcome?What the hell?I looked at Kade lost, my lips feeling bruised from how much he tortured them. Kade notices my confusion and chuckled lowly. "You're welcome for giving you your first kiss."I felt like I had been slapped. Bitch slapped to be more precise.My lost look quickly transforms into one of anger. My palms get ready to push him off of me but he does it on his own.I sit up quickly, scowl
♡ Mia's pov ♡Kade finally enters the car and I resist throwing him out. What the hell was he playing at? Touching me like that in front of my parents even though they couldn't see.I don't even bother acknowledging that he was seated in front instead of the back." I'm angry with you," The words slipped out of my mouth and I didn't try much to stop them.Kade buckles then fix his tie. He looks over at me and had the nerve to look at me confused. "Why?"I let out a sharp huff. " Because you kissed me!" I snapped, the hands on the wheel gripping it so tightly I was afraid I'd break my fingers.
