MayI stepped into Ben's luxurious apartment building, my heart pounding with excitement to see him. I can barely control my excitement as I let the elevator take me to his floor.As i approached his door, muffled voices inside grew louder. Strange, He didn’t mention he had company when we spoke a few minutes ago. I didn't know what I'd find, I didn't tell him I was coming, it's a surprise but I'm sure he'll love it. Laughter and teasing filled the air. Curiosity overtook me, and i paused outside the door, trying to identify the voices.Inside, Ben and another girl, their laughter echoing in the apartment, were engaged in a conversation. I paused as I mentally tried to tag the voice.We haven't seen each other in about a week, our longest time apart since we began our secret relationship.Our relationship is forbidden; I'm underage at 17 and he is 23. But that will change soon, I will be 18 in a few weeks, then we can go open with our relationship.I smile at the thought of kissing h
MayI left Ben's place, feeling utterly lost and confused. The shock of his betrayal still hung heavily over me, and I couldn't bring myself to return to my house where I'd definitely get questions from my twin and from my mom. They've been asking about who is been sneaking out to see and yesterday I'd finally told them I'd introduce him on my birthday. Well that ship has sunk, and if I go home looking as lost as I feel they'd know something happened and I honestly wasn't in the mood to deal with that.And I couldn't go to Patricia's apartment when I spent the other half of my time. I knew she wasn't the nicest friend but she was still my friend. I really didn't see this coming. Instead, I wandered the city streets aimlessly until I stumbled upon a dimly lit bar. The noise and bustling from the inside attracted me. I have never been to a bar as I'm underage but I knew what it was for, I knew I could go in there and I'd forget everything that had just happened. The Bouncer steps as
MayAs the morning sun filtered through the curtains, I stirred from my slumber, my head throbbing with the remnants of a wonderful dream. My thoughts were a jumble, a mix of heartache and a whirlwind of emotions. The dream was so dramatic and tragic, the bar, the laughter, and the conversations and the emotions—all of it felt like a distant dream, yet oddly vivid. And what a hot dream it was. I stretched and yawned, with my eyes still closed, struggling to piece together the fragments of the past hours. The pounding headache in my head made me decide to take things slow. Saints, I really need to get ready for class, I have Mrs Suzy for first period and she doesn't take it lightly with latecomers. I do not want to add detention on my perfect record. So I forced my eyes open, it felt like it was glued shut. I sleepyly look around, searching for my phone on my bedside table. It was then I realized I wasn't in my room. I tell myself not to panic, The room I found myself in was
MayThe look on his face tore me to piece. It is almost similar to the look Ben had on his face when he and Patricia were making fun of me after I caught them cheating. That look of disgust. As if I was a disgusting person. Someone you could look at from afar but never up close."May, How old are you?" He asked again, repeating the words slowly as if they tore him up to even utter it."Blue eyes, what's wrong? What happened just now?, we were fine up till a second ago." I must have missed something. Something must have happened to change his countenance this much. "Did I do anything wrong?""Do not make me repeat myself after this." He growled, "How fucking old are you?"The age. I looked at him closely, I knew he obviously wasn't a teenager but he doesn't look too much older than I am. And It didn't bother me, I didn't even think twice about it. "Seventeen." I whispered, I barely even heard the words myself. "Louder!" He growled, more loud this time."Seventeen!" I blurt out in fea
"I still don't care. I can handle you.""I am not doing this with you. You need to leave if you want to catch the first period of classes." He released my neck and gives a second glance at the bruise I'm sure is blooming there." Just give me your contact info. We can talk about this after school."He snarled, " Are you deaf little girl?, Whatever happened between us last night was a mistake. It never should have happened. "" Don't say that, you're lying. I know you don't mean it."He smirked, "I mean it. I never lie remember?Whatever happened between us was a mistake. And it should not have happened."" No. I refuse to believe you." I know he felt it too. That connection that made it easy for us to come together." Are you being naive or you enjoy making a fool of yourself. Now I understand how easy it was for your bestfriend and your boyfriend to make a fool out of you. Are you always this needy and pathetic?"Those words hit too close to home. They sound identical to exactly what B
MayThe next day, I woke up late, feeling groggy and disoriented. I had slept in, and by the time I got out of bed, April had already left for school, thinking I was taking a sick day off. I rushed through my morning routine, taking a quick shower, brushing my teeth, and throwing on a random dress. I barely had time to grab my backpack before hurrying out the door to catch the last bus.I arrived at school just in time for the second period, my heart racing from the rush. My heart raced as I slipped through the school's entrance undetected, surprisingly. The morning sun had just begun to cast its warm glow on the deserted hallways, and I couldn't believe my luck. No security guard, no vigilant teacher, no nosy schoolmate, nothing – just sheer luck. My target: the second-period biology class. Last night April brought up the conversation again and asked what was bothering me but I couldn't bring myself to talk about it so she gave me the usual I'm here for you speech. I had cal
