The chemistry of all colors 106 - The chapter with the bouts crying
RoseMy heart was pounding hard in my chest and silent tears were streaming down my face. Those little bouts of crying had been constant since everything happened, and as much as I pretended to everyone that I was fine and had gotten over it, I knew I wasn't. It had been four days since I had spoken to Christian, even though he had tried his best to explain himself, and even my friends assured me that I should listen to him, I didn't feel ready for it. I cringed inside the cabin as I heard the door to the bathroom where I had been hiding for the last few minutes open. I hoped that whoever had come in there would just leave soon, but that didn't happen." Rose, we saw you come in. " Sky knocked on the closed cabin door, making me sigh." I have a stomach ache," I replied in an attempt to get rid of her." Rose, stop lying. We're expecting you for lunch. Chris told you that you can rest assured that he won't show up at the cafeteria," Cam added, to my surprise.I wiped away my tears a
The chemistry of all colors 107 - The chapter where Rose crosses the line
RoseWe left the room together and headed to the common area to meet the boys. Theo seemed delighted to see Cam ready for his date, and he wasted no time in leaving the place with her.But what struck me most was Christian's absence. I hadn't expected that from him, and as much as I didn't want to admit it, I didn't want him to walk away from everyone. Deep down I imagined that it would be like always when we fought, we would exchange a few hints and teasing, and at most, we would ignore each other, but no.... " Who's going to attract more attention by coming out publicly? Us or those two? " Liam commented next to Sky." I'd rather not think about attracting any attention," Sky sighed." Sky, everyone from the college will be in town today and you'll be appearing together. And I hope you'll give her one of your movie kisses, Liam." I teased my friend, trying to get rid of Christian that wouldn't leave my mind.But if he thinks he's going to manipulate me so easily by playing the outc
The chemistry of all colors 108 - The chapter with the kiss
RoseThe sorority girls turned with a questioning expression as they noticed Christian's approach, and without a hint of hesitation he went towards Alicia, bringing his hand to the back of her head, pulling her into a demanding kiss that she didn't hesitate to match.The world stopped for a second as I watched that scene. He was roaming her body with his free hand in a kiss that should definitely not be given in public. Some of her companions seemed confused by the situation, but Audrey flashed a satisfied smile looking straight into my eyes. Liam and Skyller interrupted their steps, turning towards me with a worried expression on their faces, snapping me out of my daze. As soon as the two of them made mention of following me, I turned away, trying to keep my head up as I walked as fast as I could towards the exit. " Rose, are you okay? " Joshua's voice made me stop in my tracks, forcing a smile while I wanted to cry." I'm... I…” I fumbled as I spoke, looking back to see Sky comi
The chemistry of all colors 109 - The chapter with Amber's advice
ChristianMy lips moved urgently over Alicia's as my free hand danced nonchalantly across her body. I could hear the commotion around us, but I couldn't focus on anything. In my mind it was as if I heard Rose repeatedly calling me pathetic, and scoffing about how she only approached me out of pity.I turned away from the girl, turning to look for Rose, watching her walk away quickly, making a tiny smile appear on my lips as I knew I had achieved my goal. Yes, I knew it had been low of me and that Rose had probably said it out of her mouth, but at that moment I could only focus on hurting her as much as she had hurt me in the last few days! Part of me was screaming that that wasn't a smart move, especially seeing the look on Van Derr Waal's face as he came towards me. But I couldn't think straight. Not when Rose's words kept resonating in my mind." I thought this would never happen,” Allie whispered in my ear, reminding me of her presence." Sometimes fate surprises us," I murmured t
The chemistry of all colors 110 - The chapter with Josh
RoseI felt the wind stir my hair that escaped from under the helmet Joshua had lent me as he guided us on his motorcycle through the streets of Waterfall. I kept everything that had happened that night in a dark, numb corner in the back of my mind, refusing to shed a single tear for that asshole. No, I was going to enjoy my night with Josh and do my best to get Christian out of my system once and for all!That thought calmed me down a bit, I shouldn't suffer for him. I would move on with my life and do it with my head held high!It wasn't long before the man stopped his motorcycle in front of a commercial building in the city center. I got off the bike, taking off my helmet, frowning as I observed the place." Where are we? " I turned to the guy. He just gave a small smile, nodding for me to follow him. Walking up to a big glass window that was covered with brown paper inside, he unlocked the glass door next to it, giving me the way to enter after turning on the lights. I looked a
The chemistry of all colors 111 - The chapter with the ugly truth
RoseAnd Joshua kept his word. After a quick shower, he took me to a coffee shop on the other block and bought me a full breakfast." I hope you like Cinnamon Rolls, the ones here are the best " he commented opening the menu." Sounds great," I smiled, feeling a bit out of place in the situation.I usually didn't go out with guys who took me to breakfast the next day. In fact, I just said goodbye and went home, often I didn't even spend the night. The only person who cared about my well being like that was Christian!" The cinnamon cappuccino is great too," he commented, snapping me out of my reverie.I shouldn't be thinking about Christian right now!" Wow, you really like cinnamon, don't you? " I teased him." Guilty," he laughed in response, "If it were up to me, I'd put cinnamon on everything.”I went back to looking at the menu deciding what to eat." I'll take the Cinnamon Roll, but I'd rather have a vanilla cappuccino,' I warned.He nodded to the waitress, taking our orders as
The chemistry of all colors 112 - The chapter with the new friends
Rose I felt the needle contact the skin behind my ear, taking a deep breath as I imagined what that drawing would look like. In the end, I went back to campus just to get a change of clothes, spending Saturday night with Josh, being lucky not to meet any of my friends in the meantime, since I would surely get a big lecture for everything that happened since Friday. Liam himself was sending me threatening messages for everything that happened.Messages that I was making sure to ignore." It's getting really good " Josh commented, stopping what he was doing when a notification arrived on his phone." How much longer? " I grabbed my phone, activating the front camera in an attempt to see how it was doing." Here, let me help you " He took the device from my hand, taking a picture before giving it back to me " I'll start coloring as soon as Cherry gets here. She wants to take some pictures while I work.”Cherry was his friend who would take my pictures, I had already brought some extra c
The chemistry of all colors 113 - The chapter where Liam loses his temper
Rose Josh drove me back to campus, it was mid-afternoon, Liam had flooded me with messages and I knew it was time to face my friends. We attracted some attention as soon as Joshua stopped his bike in the driveway of the dorm, waiting for me to get off and give him back his helmet." It's delivered, your friend can stop worrying about you waking up in an ice bath with a missing kidney," he scoffed." Thanks for the weekend Josh... and the new tattoo." I leaned over, kissing his cheek as he wrapped me in a half hug without getting off the bike." Thank you, Cherry loved the pictures, they'll look great in the studio " he pulled away a little to look into my eyes " I hope everything works out for you, but until it does, you can call me anytime you want."That statement made me laugh, and I pulled away from him, taking a few steps back as I thought about everything that happened over the weekend. I still felt hurt by Christian's attitude on Friday, but now I had another perspective on th

Christian"Did you hear Liam's speech? "Rose asked.I turned my head to the side to watch her, she was sitting on the floor next to the bed, wearing only my boxer shorts while drawing on a pad. No one had come home yet and we were enjoying the silence.I felt exhausted after everything that had happened over the last few days, I couldn't believe that this nightmare had finally come to an end. After getting home and taking a long shower with Rose, the only thing I could do was lie down and stare at the ceiling in my room, imagining how everything would happen from then on."Could you not hear? "I sneered."Do you think he was serious about his vision of the future? "she turned her face to look at me."I don't know, maybe. But...I kept quiet, wondering what exactly I was going to say. Because more and more the whole scenario he described came to life in my mind, and every second I found it more enjoyable."But? "New Orleans is a nice city. We could live near each other and... I can se
The chemistry of all colors 158 - The chapter with the drunken marriage proposal
ChristianI sat down, taking the bottle of beer from my sister, taking a sip before she grabbed the bottle from my hand and slapped me upside the head."Your father-in-law has guaranteed that you'll beat Bobby and Otto at pool, they've never lost at the bar "My father pointed to the table where Rose and Jack were getting ready to start the game."My father-in-law is... a bit competitive. Rose got that from him," I commented."A bit? That's a joke, right? Last time the two of them ended up in a snow race just to break a tie in a series of board games "Cam rolled his eyes."Snow race? "My mother raised both eyebrows."While they were taking off their clothes," Theo added."Taking their clothes off? "Amber choked next to me."They had a series of target games in the middle of the course, and every time they missed they had to take off a piece. At the end of the race, he was only wearing shorts and boots and she was wearing a gym top, shorts and boots "I explained, taking the bottle of be
The chemistry of all colors 157 - The chapter with the celebration
ChristianI stopped the bike in a parking space in front of the bar where Rose met Josh at the beginning of the year. I frowned as everyone got off their bikes there. That place wasn't one of my favorites and Rose must have known that, since we hadn't been back there since everything happened.She got off before me, taking off her helmet, running her fingers through her hair to adjust it and standing next to me when she noticed my hesitation in getting off the bike."Come on, it's about time we gave this place a second chance "she winked at me "let's enjoy it like we should have done that day. That was enough to convince me, so I took off my helmet and got off the bike. From there we could hear a band playing a cover of Aerosmith. Everyone started to enter the venue, not bothering to wait for me. I took a deep breath, slung my arm around Rose's shoulder and started heading towards the entrance. Both Rose and I ended up with the backs of our hands stamped indicating that we were unde
The chemistry of all colors 156 - The chapter in which Christian gets out of jail
ChristianI was lying in bed, watching the sunset light coming through the small window in the corridor facing the cell I occupied. My cell was the only one occupied in the police station, and that was no surprise. In a town as quiet as Grayfox Mills, it was difficult to see any movement at the police station during the week, when all the university students were busy with their classes.Everything I wanted. To get on with my classes without having to deal with some asshole who decided to play with my girl! But that asshole made it impossible.I'd been there for over twenty-four hours, and that had been enough time to calm my mind, at least as far as Jax was concerned. But even though I'd taken a few naps during the day, I couldn't stop imagining how Rose was doing, the look on her face as I was handcuffed never left my mind, and I just wanted the chance to talk to my girlfriend and make sure she was okay.My biggest concern with everything that had happened was just her. I didn't reg
The chemistry of all colors 155 - The chapter where Rose decides what to do
RoseMy gaze wandered around that hellish scene without knowing what to do. Everything unfolded in slow motion in front of me. On one side, Jax was lying, moaning in pain in a pool of his own blood, being supported by a waiter. His friends were on the other side, keeping some distance with an expression that ranged from surprise to fear, keeping as much distance as possible from Christian, who was standing next to me with both hands raised in a sign of surrender after handing Theo the keys to the bike. The sidewalk outside was starting to fill up as well, several people crowded near the glass window watching what was happening, some taking pictures or filming with their cell phones as the police approached us." Dad, do something " I begged for a magic solution, one that would stop my boyfriend from being taken by those men. "Chris..." I tried to put one of his hands down to pull him to me, but he stood his ground, looking the other way while someone talked to one of the policemen,

Christian" Chris, you heard the dean, he'll probably be expelled... CHRIS! " Rose raised her voice as I stood up, heading for the exit." What's his problem?”" Damn it, Christian, get back here! " I heard Rose call before I got into the elevator that was standing on the floor, not waiting for her to arrive to press the button to close the doors.I checked the time on my watch, great, it's right on lunch break time, I'll find this bastard and finish him off wherever he is. Deciding not to waste any time, I got on the bike, driving inside the campus, heading towards the main cafeteria. I stopped the Harley anyway at the entrance to the cafeteria, ignoring the stares I was attracting, I opened the door without a care, looking around for my target. But to my dismay, the son of a bitch was nowhere to be found." Chris, what are you doing here? " I heard Sky's voice approaching.I turned towards her voice, finding her standing next to Theo with a frown as she watched me." 'O'Donnel, hav
The chemistry of all colors 153 - The chapter where Christian finds out
ChristianSavannah and her friends stood up, looking satisfied with the outcome of that little meeting. All they wanted was to make sure that they would not be involved in that situation and they succeeded. " So? You can start " Rose took a deep breath with her arms crossed. " 'We're going to talk in a meeting with the dean,” Savannah said." 'That wasn't agreed,” Addison pointed out." We haven't agreed on anything yet, Mrs. Miller, and we're just making sure we don't get involved in any of this,” she returned.It was at that moment that Jack decided to get involved, seeming not to agree with the proposal." 'We're not going to guarantee any of this without knowing what you have to say.”" We can guarantee that Alicia and Audrey are responsible for everything, we will give the names of all those involved and we will tell you in detail everything we have discovered. " Savannah said " we even have message exchanges to prove it.”Everyone considered that information for a second befor

ChristianI hurried down the stairs and into the kitchen, finding Jack and Addison in an uncomfortable silence. Their gazes fell on me as soon as I walked through the door, causing me to stall in my seat." What?”" Were you arguing? " Addison asked." Ohhh no... Rose is just frustrated with the situation, I suggested she paint a little to distract herself " I explained " I was supposed to bring her breakfast at the studio.”" I'll do it," Addison volunteered, getting up.I didn't argue with the woman, sitting down in the same place as before, accepting the muffin Jack handed me. We sat there, eating in silence for a few minutes, until the sound of the doorbell interrupted us. Jack signaled for me to remain in my seat, getting up to go answer the door.Frowning, I remained silent, trying to hear something to find out who was at the door, but they were either talking very quietly, or not at all. I stood up, deciding to satisfy my curiosity at once, that's when Addison's voice reached m
The chemistry of all colors 151 - The chapter with breakfast with the in-laws
ChristianI turned over in my bed, watching the face of Rose, who slept next to me curled up in a fetal position. My room was small and we didn't usually sleep there, but Rose couldn't bear the thought of sleeping in her room that night and I couldn't blame her. My girlfriend that day did not show all the usual tranquility when sleeping, which sometimes left me in doubt whether or not she had suddenly died in her sleep. On the contrary, she spent the whole night restless, and was not even sleeping on her stomach as usual.The silence outside the room showed that our classmates had probably already gone to class, only the two of us were left behind, trapped in our private hell. Deciding to let her rest a little longer, I got up, going to get dressed and brush my teeth before heading downstairs.The house itself seemed deserted, silence dominated the upper floor. I looked at the open door of Theo's room, where Jack ended up sharing the bed with Addison that night, finding the place empt
