The chemistry of all colors 75 - The chapter with the meeting with Audrey
ROSE CAMPBELLWithout waiting for them to speak up, I headed toward the art building where my locker was, grabbing my notebook and a case, mentally cursing myself for not remembering to take that with me to my room yesterday. Then I went to the main building, where the theory classes of all subjects were held. I was walking distracted when I felt a snowball hit the side of my arm. I raised my head in fright, looking around for any of my friends, but to my surprise, I spotted Audrey, Alicia, and two other sorority girls standing a few feet away. That was all I needed!I decided to take a deep breath and go on my way again, because I really didn't want to bother with this so soon, but they didn't seem to think so." Look who's without her great protectors," Audrey hummed as she approached.I stopped walking, casting a tired glance at them, noticing that some people passing by were already watching us expectantly." Have you lost something with me, Dixon?” " I think you need to learn a
The chemistry of all colors 76 - The chapter with the Attack
ROSE CAMPBELL There were still twenty minutes to go, and we were both going to wait in the hall anyway, so I didn't mind, saying goodbye to my friend before going up to the class room. That's when I remembered my promise to talk to my mom, sending her a message to check if she could get a call back at that time, since she was in the middle of her workday.Sorry, I forgot to call you, can you answer now?It took a few seconds for her to answer.That's what every mother wants to hear, that the daughter she was in labor for eighteen hours to deliver forgot about her.A small smile appeared on my lips as I typed the answer.First of all, that dramatic tone suits my father more than it does you. Secondly, Skyller spent the night in Liam's room and I needed all the detailsI was walking absent mindedly through the halls, waiting for a new message from my mother when a song began to sound somewhere behind me.A song that I knew all too well." I'm not perfect, I'm not Snitch....”I turned t
The chemistry of all colors 77 - The chapter where Christian takes care of Rose
RoseA knock again sounded on the door, and one more time I ignored it, staring at the white wall on the other side. But to my surprise, the bedroom light was turned on by Christian. I hid my face on my knees once more as he locked the door, before approaching the bed, placing something on the bedside table before climbing into bed.He said nothing, silently brought his hands to my wrists, forcing me to let go of the knees I was hugging before making me lift my head, though I tried to resist.All I didn't want was for him to see me like this, and even after I lifted my head, I avoided looking into his eyes. Still silent, Christian stood up, then walked away and began to go through my painting materials, but I didn't dare look at him, my gaze was locked on my violet hands. My skin had lightened a little after the bath, but was still far from returning to its natural color.Christian held my hand, pulling me out of bed. I didn't resist, just following his commands, still without looking

RoseI know that his intention was to cheer me up, but I was at my limit there, and it seemed that anything could make me explode." Christian" I turned my face to him, looking into his eyes for real for the first time since he arrived." I'm just reminding you how amazing you are, Rosemarie Miller-Campbell. I know I'm always picking on you, but today it's good for you to know how amazing you are," he emphasized.I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath in an attempt to keep the tears from coming to my eyes, turning my face away from him. And that seemed to take him by surprise, as his hand that was still on my face wavered." Chris, I haven't shed a single tear from what has happened. I'm holding myself together, because I don't want to give either of them the taste for it, and right now you're not helping me to keep it up," I opened my eyes again, looking away, feeling the tears burning, trying to force them out. I was so grateful to him for everything he was doing at that moment. Af

RoseI wiped away my tears, blowing my nose, feeling a little lighter at that moment. What is he doing to me?I have never allowed anyone to get that close! But that doesn't matter, what matters is that he is here now. I already have too much to worry about at the moment to let other anxieties take over.A small knock sounded on the door before Christian opened it." They brought you tacos, donuts and juice. Come and have some " he held out his hand to me.That's when I remembered my mother. During the afternoon she probably thought I was in class, but if I don't give them any satisfaction now, they might start to worry. But the last thing I wanted was for them to realize that something was wrong." I was talking to my mom and I stopped answering her messages, she must be worried," I sighed, sitting down at the desk where Christian had put my lunch." Do you want to use my cell phone? " he took the phone out of his pocket and offered it to me, but I quickly declined.If at the time i
The chemistry of all colors 80 - The chapter with the carelessness
RoseI opened the curtain, watching the full moon that appeared amidst the clouds in the overcast sky, sitting on my legs on the bed with my back to the door, watching the sky.I wrapped myself in a half hug, wishing I was anywhere else at that moment, maybe on a beach in Hawaii or in a chalet in the mountains of Colorado. Anywhere away from that campus.A place away from trouble. " You have that expression again." Christian's voice brought me back to reality, causing me to notice that I was lost in my thoughts.I turned my face to look at him, Christian put the laptop on my desk, approaching me." Rose, I know everything looks terrible right now, but it will get better," he assured me." My hands are dry. I think I'm going to need to put some moisturizer on them...all over my body actually, with all the alcohol you've used," I tried to be nonchalant.Christian looked at me for a few seconds before shrugging." Tell me where your cream is, and I'll get it for you.”" In the bathroom,
The chemistry of all colors 81 - The chapter where Rose is an honorary member of the Wandering Falcons
CHRISTIANI awoke the next day with the feeling that I was being watched, I opened my eyes and Rose was settled beside me, watching me with a tired expression. We had placed the mattresses of the two beds on the floor and slept there. Or at least I did. The expression on her face and the dark circles under her eyes showed that Rose had not had a night like mine." Good morning," she forced a smile. I sat up in our makeshift bed, watching her with a frown. It was rare that Rose woke up before me the times we slept together. She usually slipped into a coma when she fell asleep." What happened? " I sat up." Nothing," she denied, getting up from the mattress, "Why do you think something happened?”She turned away from me and walked over to her desk, beginning to fiddle disinterestedly with the materials on the desk." Rose please…”" I couldn't sleep, okay? " She turned to me suddenly "I've spent the whole night trying to just close my eyes and shut out everything that's happened, bu
The chemistry of all colors 82 -The chapter where Rose meets everyone
ChristianRose just shook her head, taking a deep breath before following me out of the room, looking a little cowed by the stares she received from the people in the hallway." Hey, we don't bow our heads to anyone," I whispered, slipping my arm around her shoulder, forcing her to move. The girl took a deep breath, putting both hands in the pockets of her jacket, resuming her body posture that bordered on arrogance when she didn't put a smile on her face. " "That's how I like it," I teased, receiving an amused look in return.We walked for a few meters in silence, ignoring the stares we received until we reached the first flight of stairs." 'Did you see how they're looking at us? I'm parading around with your name written on my chest," Rose commented, but I didn't mind one bit." 'Does that bother you? You once told me that the jacket looked better on you than on me,” I gave her a sidelong glance, still with my arm around her shoulder." You know what they're going to say.”" 'An

The chemistry of all colors 159 - The final chapter
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
