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

    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

    RoseIt wasn't long before we were together, looking in the places Christian most liked to go when he wanted to be alone. We tried the Viewpoint, the trail to a waterfall, a ruined abandoned factory near the highway, the coffee shop in town. " But damn! When I find that asshole I'm going to skin him alive. How can he do that? " I exploded as I walked beside Harry to where he had parked his motorcycle.It was late afternoon, and I wanted to kill Christian for all that unnecessary worry!" Rose, you know him better than anyone. He's got all his stuff, so he needs a place that's at least livable " Harry commented " Does he know anyone with a house in town?"I stopped next to the boy's bike, taking a deep breath as I thought. Where could he have gone? Some motorcycle club? Something like that? Or..." There's one more place," I took a deep breath, "Let's go…"I felt my heart beating hard in my chest the whole way. Anxiety overwhelmed me completely and a mixture of feelings controlled me,

    ChristianRose and I were still in the same position. She was on my lap, her head resting on my shoulder, leaning to the side, stroking my face as I massaged her scalp, still not believing she was there with me. Deep down, I was afraid to let her go and wake up there, alone, realizing it was just a dream.I pulled her into a deeper kiss, killing the longing I had felt during that week, feeling my body start to react to that stimulus, but before any further progress could be made, Rose pulled away." As much as I'm loving the haunted house vibe in the middle of the forest, I'd rather not spend the night here, Chris. So why don't we get your stuff and take it back to our room? " She smiled." Haunted house? " I found her definition funny " Is that what you're thinking of now?”" 'You're right, this looks more like the place where some psycho is going to chase us with a chainsaw and rip our faces off.' She leaned in, giving me a brief kiss before getting off my lap, stretching afterwards

    Rose" Chris please! “" Rose, don't even dream about it " he cut me off, but I wasn't going to give up that easily. The two of us were together in the Brigitte, going to meet our friends to visit yet another house in the area. It was already Tuesday and Liam seemed to have booked to visit all the houses available that week. Yesterday we managed to visit one, but despite loving the place, the price was way over our budget, so we would make two more visits today. Despite Liam's temper tantrum and the messy situation we got ourselves into on Sunday, we managed to get the group together. Liam seemed really relieved to see Christian well and although he didn't apologize directly for the way he spoke to me, he assured me that he was happy that everything had worked out.My relationship with Christian was wonderful, even though we hadn't made it public, after all, I still didn't feel totally safe to do so, especially after the scene he made in that bar, the fact that we had made everythin

    Rose" What kind of place? " I asked suspicious of all her enthusiasm." 'A Victorian townhouse, it was built a few years after this one, it's not that well maintained, you'll have to do a few renovations, like replacing some broken windows and peeling wallpaper " she explained " But since the house has been without tenants for a while, I can make the rent for a great value for you.”" Sounds great," Liam smiled.I exchanged a not-so-confident glance with Christian. There's some kind of catch in this proposal! But anyway, we decided to follow the realtor to the new address that wasn't too far from there, and when I stopped in front of the house, I knew exactly why she was smiling." She's got to be kidding!”" You didn't expect a place as nice as the last one, did you? It's already clear that we can't afford it," Christian pointed out, getting out of the car to meet the others who were already waiting for us in front of the house.I followed him, still looking at the big house in fron

    Rose I used the spatula to work on the wet clay, separating the legs of the male model I was sculpting for my work, starting to work on the muscles of the thighs, trying to make the model as realistic as possible." Rose, I swear, if anyone finds out about this…”I raised my face, smiling as I admired Christian completely naked in the middle of the room, looking a little uncomfortable with the situation in general." Chris, no one will know it's you, and even if they do, would it be so bad? I promise to be very generous." I winked at him, teasing him.He approached the desk that I had lined with newspaper to work without much dirt, resting his hand on the wood, leaning towards me, making me put the sculpture aside for a moment." Don't you get tired of manipulating me to get everything you want? " he asked with his face just inches from mine.I reached up, giving my boyfriend a brief kiss, catching his bottom lip with my teeth, tugging lightly before pulling away." The point is, I d

    Rose "You really want to convince me that you weren't doing anything at lunch, come on, you spent two hours locked in your room " Liam teased me as we left." Liam, do you really want to know what they were doing? " Theo laughed." That's none of our business, the two of them have already admitted that they’re together, there's no reason to give any other explanation " Sky scolded her boyfriend.I remained silent, walking with the group through the campus, heading towards the housing. I knew what Liam was trying to find out, but I hadn't decided whether or not to tell him about the sculpture." It's not like they're two rabbits, they used to run away at lunchtime because they didn't have much time, now they're practically living together," Liam pointed out.I rolled my eyes, trying to remain silent." If I were Chris, I wouldn't leave the room," Theo shrugged, looking awkwardly at us all as we turned towards him, "Why are you looking at me like that?” Did he even hear what you just

    Rose Yes, it was still winter, but Wayne had told us that he had set everything up so that we could enjoy the heated pools at a tropical-themed party, and all the most popular and influential people from the college would be there. And as much as we couldn't stand the presence of some of those people, we weren't going to be left off that list." Are you girls really going to wear bikinis? " Cam blinked dazedly as we walked up the stairs." Of course, what else do we wear? It's a pool party! " I frowned." No, it's just that I always wear swimsuits " the girl explained " I don't even own a bikini.”" Ohhh, that's the problem? You can go in a swimsuit, there's no problem " I tried to reassure her." Do you think anyone else will wear a swimsuit? " She asked.I thought for a second, surely there would be someone with a swimsuit there, she shouldn't worry about that." Of course! " I smiled in response. " Are you going to wear one? " She asked hopefully when we were already entering my

    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...

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?

    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

    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

    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

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.

    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

    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
