Christian

I heard Rose's labored breathing as soon as I arrived upstairs, and going to her room, I found her on my bed, lying in a fetal position, her eyes closed.

" I can't breathe, I'm going to…”

" Rose, it's serious, it's an anxiety attack " Cam tried to reassure her.

" My chest hurts! " she sobbed.

Without saying a word, I took off my sneakers, climbing on the bed, wrapping her in a hug, clinging her body to mine. Camille understood the message, leaving the room, leaving us alone.

" Chris…” she let out another sob amidst a moan of pain.

"I'm here, Rose, it's going to be okay," I reassured her, "The cutie is right, it's a panic attack.”

" No, I…”

" Come on, breathe with me," I whispered, starting to breathe deeply and calmly, so that she could follow my breathing.

Her gasping breaths began to mix with her insistent crying and her heartfelt sobs, causing despair to grow inside me for not knowing how to help her. All I wanted at that moment was to hug her tightly and steal all her

    Christian"Jack..." I stood up from the couch, hoping to hear from Rose.My father-in-law held up his hand for me to stop talking, his gaze focusing on Joshua, who quickly stood up as well, not quite knowing how to react to the man's presence."Three pieces of information I need before anything else. Who are you, how old are you and what is your relationship with my daughter? " he addressed the tattoo artist directly." 'I'm Josh, I'm twenty-eight years old and I'm a... friend of your daughter's " he answered after exchanging a brief glance with me in search of confirmation of the identity of the man in front of him." Friend? " Jack didn't seem to buy that version very much.Joshua and I exchanged a look, before I got suspicious, deciding to get him out of that situation, since it was my fault he was there in the first place."He's our tattoo artist, the only person I knew from off campus, I called him when Rose started feeling bad," I explained to the man.Jack didn't seem so convin

    ChristianWe attracted many stares as we walked to the administrative building. Although I heard a few jokes, laughs and taunts, which I tried to ignore, striving to follow Jack's instructions." Just ignore it, don't even look to the side, don't give them any recognition,” Jack muttered, looking straight ahead and walking with a posture I knew well, I had seen it a thousand times at the Rose.Now I know where she got that gigantic ego of hers from!Jack opened the door of the building, giving way for me to enter, accompanying me without any difficulty until we reached the Rector's office. The door was closed and the secretary looked exhausted." Can I help you? “" 'I hope so, I'm here to see Mr. Fields,” Jack replied in a serious but friendly enough tone." 'I'm sorry, did you make an appointment? Mr. Fields is in a meeting to deal with some last minute issues that have arisen, so I'm afraid he won't be able to see you," she glared at the man.But Jack was not intimidated, quite the

    CamilleI sat on my bed, feeling the world spin. I couldn't believe everything that had happened that day. I was exhausted and I wasn't even directly part of the story. But even though I wasn't the one being attacked, it was impossible not to be affected by witnessing the state Rose was in, or Christian's despair at seeing her. The whole thing was such a mess and it was hard to imagine a solution. I mean, as much as everyone guaranteed that they would find out who did it, how would they do that? The video didn't show any of their faces, and the voice wasn't clear enough either. " 'There you are,” Theo approached the bed, smiling when he saw me, “How are you?”He sat down next to me, putting his arm around me. I tilted my face towards him, offering him a weak smile." I don't know, it's all a mess, Rose is asleep, Chris is gone, Sky and Liam are still arguing and Rose's mom is acting really weird " I watched the woman leave Rose's room, going back to Christian's room, where Rose was

    CamilleIt wasn't long before Savannah Hill appeared in our field of vision, looking surprised to see me there." 'They're looking for Audrey,” Susan turned to the other." 'I'll deal with it, go do something else.”" 'Who's that? " Addison whispered to me."Savannah Hill, the vice president of the sorority," I whispered back, noticing the glint in Addison's eye.Susan turned away from the door against her will, giving us a nasty look before running up the stairs." Camille, what are you doing here? Who's that? " Savannah stepped out, partially closing the door behind her as she alternated her gaze between us." My name is Addison Miller and I'm Rose's Mother. And as for Camille, she's here to try and keep things under control," Addison answered for me, crossing her arms as she faced the girl." The mother? " Savannah widened her eyes."Yes, the mother... Why the surprise? Didn't you think her parents would come with everything that happened? Guess what, we're here, and while Jackson

    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.

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.

    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?

"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.

    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,
