I sat between Lola and Andre on a couch that was in the centre of a very huge hall that had teenagers dancing and screaming for joy. Andre had his arm around my shoulder and I tried my possible best not seem like I disliked the way he held me even if it was innocent. Lola was a typical wall flower because she clung on to my body and stared in horror at the people playing flip the cup. Was this her first party or something? "I'll be right back." Andre whispered in my ears. He got to his feet and vanished into the crowd of sweaty teens. The disco light changed into several colors and my mind named them as usual. Loud music boomed from the speakers and drinks were flying in every corner.A boy in a black shirt and blue jeans approached us with a friendly expression on his face. He seemed a little shy because he scratched his hair like a thousand times before parting his lips to speak. "Would you-" he hesitated and adjusted his shirt before mustering a small shaky smile. "May I have th
"Andre..." I trailed off, not knowing what to concentrate on.The room was going in circles and my stomach was tying itself in knots, giving me a kind of nausea feeling.Andre refused to acknowledge the fact that I didn't want his fingers going up my panties. I tried to push him off, but he was too strong for me."Andre, stop." I shook internally as Andre pinned me down to bed and trailed wet kisses down my chest.He pushed out my boobs from my bra and sucked on it. I felt plain, there was no volcano erupting in my stomach and I seriously needed to end this.Andre transferred both my hands in one of his and used the other hand to trail down my thighs, reaching for
"I should be asking you that." She rolled her eyes and sounded funny because of the brush in her mouth."What do you mean by that?" I bumped my brows together in a frown more confused than I was when I woke up in Tristan's room."I live here and you ditched me at the party." She folded her arms against her chest. "So if you'd excuse me, I'd like to finish preparing for school."Just as she turned to leave, I held her arm with glossy eyes. "I'm sorry I ditched you, it wasn't my intention and I so do not know what happened to me because I woke up somewhere strange. I need help and that's why I came here to see my father's new wife.""Your father?" She frowned and stepped aside. "Come in."
"Tristan!" I yelled with both my hands on the sides of my mouth. "I know you're in there, just let me in... I'm sorry!"There was no answer so I searched the area for a stone. I saw one just three steps away from me so I went to pick it up and swung my arms forward, launching the stone out of my hand. It flew and landed on Tristan's window before dropping to the ground.Picking four more into my hand, I threw them one after the other and the last one I threw, made Tristan shove the curtain aside. Our eyes locked and he glared at me for a minute before drawing his curtain shut."Tristan, please." I pleaded, feeling weak again. "I don't know what's wrong with me. I need help and I've been feeling off these days. I'm so lonely and the little issue in my-" I stopped in my tracks and rephrased my sentence. "There's a lot happening and I feel so heavy. When I woke up I couldn't remember anything...I'm sorry!" I yelled with a dried throat.I picked three stones and threw the first. The second
The corners of his lips curved into a smile before his eyes swept me from head to toe once again. I blinked rapidly, trying to digest what was happening."Oh, sorry." He chuckled and faced the door, giving me some privacy to change into something appropriate.My body was stiff and I couldn't take a step forward or back. It felt as if I was paralyzed."Aren't you changing?" He voiced, shoving his hands into his pockets. "Jade?"He turned to face me again–but this time, his forehead puckered and he moved closer to me. "Are you okay?""Ye-yes." I stood stiff, wondering when my brain was going to send signal to my entire body.He stopped when he was one step away from me and squinted his eyes just below my collar bone.The fuck? Was he checking my boobs out."What's that scratch?" He pointed at the place his maid clawed and closed the sp
I held the handle to the Janitor's closet, took a gander of my surroundings before pushing the door and letting myself into the dark closet. I supressed a shiver and felt the wall for the switch. At last, I found and flipped it on.I gasped and covered my mouth when my eyes fell on him seated on a wooden chair. The dangerous look I was expecting his eyes to display wasn't there. Instead, it was soft and his face had a sorry expression.Instantly, I turned and made it for the door, but his words stopped me in my tracks."Jade, I'm sorry," he said softly, followed by a shuffling sound of him standing up from his chair."Did you call me here to finish what you started?" I spat, staying far away from him as possible."Baby, it's not what you think." He squeezed his eyes shut before opening them again. "I've never acted that way before and I noticed my drink tasted funny at one point in the par
I blinked my eyes rapidly and averted my gaze from our hands on the door handle to her face. What the hell was Lola doing?"Uhm, since he's not your Tristan, you wouldn't mind me sitting here right?" She gave me a tight lipped smile and I hastily drew back my hand. "No, I don't mind." I held my hand to my chest and mustered a faint smile. "What's holding you guys up?" Tristan asked from behind the steering, stretching his neck to see what we were doing."Nothing," Lola said. She pulled the car open and hopped into it. I stood with my mouth ajar and my hands still interlocked on my chest. I blinked once, twice and thrice before the sound of Lola chuckling brought me back to reality. Slowly, I got into the back seat and closed my mouth. "Shall we?" He asked and Lola agreed, acting too happy for my liking. He turned the ignition and the car came alive. The wheels moved and a weird feeling sat in my heart. Strange!"You smell so good... Like fruit." Lola shuddered in what seemed to
Mother eyed me suspiciously and wore a foxy smile. "Are you sure you don't like Mr Tristan?""No way. Tristan and I can never be together. We'd kill each other." I explained, laughing hysterically and feeling my bowels churn."But I know he likes you... I've seen the way he-""That's enough, mom." I interrupted, palming my ears. "What happened between you and Mr Chris?""Oh," she said and chuckled. "He left me for a nerd. I was a popular queen b in school-" she hesitated and stared into nothingness. "I actually left him for your father. We went to different states to school and that was where I met your dad. Had to end things with Chris.""How did you feel when you had to choose between him and dad?""Bad... Because if you love the first, you'll never fall in love with the second. I guess karma is a bitch, now I'm suffering with a divorce." She croaked with a sad face, but
My heart pounded violently and my throat became dry, I struggled to breathe as I dropped down on my knees, my hand gripping my stomach tight.That was the end, I knew I was going to die someday, but I didn't think it was going to be so soon and by a stalker who I once used as a rebound... Karma was real.Slowly, I bent my head to look at my bleeding stomach, but to my surprise, there wasn't a pool of blood on the floor. I raised my palm to look at it, but there was no sign of blood.But he shot me. My subconscious pointed out and I stared down at my stomach again. No blood.Must be my back.I rubbed on my lower back and viewed my hands for blood, but there was nothing."Oh!" A groan beside me caught my attention and I looked to the right.The saddening sight drilled a hole in my heart. My body shook internally as a frog sat comfortably in my thr
"W-what do you mean by you're here for what is yours?" I stuttered, rigid to the spot as a thousand and one ways he could hurt me flew around my head."You know what I mean..." He drawled, shoving his hands into his pockets. "My bitch."His words stung me and my eyes widened when I realized something. I shook the thought off and laughed."Stop this, it's not April fool's day, is it?" I questioned between laughs and glanced at my wrist watch before taking my gaze back to his face."What does gazing at your wrist watch have to do with this, Jade?" He tilted his head to the right with a mischievous grin playing at the corners of his lips."It shows dates too." I gulped and hoped it was a joke. "Quit scaring me, have you seen Tristan around?"I craned my neck to survey the area, but there was no other person on the building. I used the opportunity of looking for Tristan to take two steps away from him."Not so fast.
Father placed a box of ring in my palms and asked me if it was beautiful enough and if my mother would like it. After inspecting it with my eyes, I nodded and he bought it. We walked out of the jewelry store and I was super excited for both my parents. They had been seeing each other again and I couldn't wait for them to live together under the same roof again.I was depressed. My stalker wanted it to be the death of me, but I refused. He had been sending disturbing messages and pictures of myself in my underwear or even walking into a supermarket. He was following me every where and I never felt safe anymore.My phone rang and it was the same private number. I refused to take the call because I knew it was none other than the bastard that came to this world to frustrate my life.Dad was trying to work on it under ground, but it was moving very slowly because he wasn't using any help. We didn't want the stalker to suspect. I had strongly disagreed for h
Tristan's POVIt had been a while since Jade and I had spoken and I still didn't know what to do. Why I had said Lola's name that day, was a mystery to me. I couldn't just explain what had happened to me. My chest was heavy and I hardly got any sleep these days.I usually didn't sleep till five am then I wake up eight in the morning, very tired and weak like I had been beaten.I rubbed my chin as numerous thoughts raced through my head. I loved her and didn't want to lose her. I had gone to the airport to tell her about how deeply sorry I was for hurting her in anyway, but she chose to ignore me. It really hurt like a nail was used to stab my heart.I sat up on my chair when an idea popped up in my head so I rushed over to book a flight to Manchester. I needed to see the love of my life and I needed to apologise. I wasn't usually a mushy person, but Jade changed me. There was definitely no oth
We got to the house and halted down in front of a shiny Mercedes as instructed by Mr Thompson. It was already five in the evening and I was looking forward to seeing Maya again.She walked out of the house, buttered up in a black stretchy pants and a big tee shirt that had the writing, "daddy's girl" on it. The moment our eyes jammed, she smiled a warm one and waved at me. She adjusted her bucket hat and whispered something to her mom who pointed to her dad that was making a call by the other side of the house.She shrugged like she was saying, "I'd still do it anyway" to her mother. She ran to where I was and hugged me. She squeezed me a little and I patted her head. It was really cute the way our height difference was."Girl!" Jade and Maya exclaimed as they hugged each other so tightly, I feared Jade's big stomach would push out the baby. Goodness!"Careful, do not hurt my child." I pointed, going to separate the two breads buttered
The next morning, she wasn't by my side and I wasn't exactly surprised. I mean, that was what she usually did to me.I got up and headed for the bathroom before dragon Lord came. I didn't want to hear about how he thought the name CeCe suited me because I used hours to prepare for the day.I scrubbed fast and dashed out of the bathroom then put on the uniform. Were we going camping or something?There was a knock on the door and I swore to punch whoever it was. It was early in the morning and they wouldn't even leave me be. They are already by my door, knocking for me to go down stairs and suffer in the hands of that man.He was molesting me! Emotionally and not physically, by the way."Who's that?" I questioned and a British accent made it's way into the room."Mr Thompson wants to see you now." She stated and took her leave after I had told her I was going to be there anytime soon. I walked out of the room and got
I went down to the maid quarters and knocked on the door, waiting patiently for the maid... Was she Nancy or what was her name again? I couldn't remember.The door swung open and a maid with chocolate colored skin stood by the door way. Her eyes were grey just like Jade's, but prettier. Her hair was covered with a black maiden's cap and I could only see her front hair, which was curly. Her eye brows were funnily shaped, but her long lashes complimented her face and I must say, she was very beautiful."Hello?" She smiled and I could have sworn my heart walked out of my chest and threw cat wheels. "Can I help you?""W-well, I'm here to see uhm... What's her name again? She told me Maya's dad wanted to see me, but needed me to do something first." I stuttered then she opened the door so I could see her."Emily!" The maid I was used to exclaimed and the chocolate skinned girl laughed then closed the door so
He clapped his hands, giving me a round of applause and tucked in the sides of his mouth."If it isn't the queen of England." He announced with humor in his eyes. "Do you need us to roll a red carpet on the floor for you?" He asked sarcastically and I chewed the insides of my cheeks. This man was just unbelievable. I couldn't put up with his shit.I stood with my hands behind my back and waited for him to stop his shenanigans so we could go for the morning jog and make it back home on time."Let's leave, CeCe." He gestured his hands for us to run, but I looked behind me, wondering who the hell he was referring to as some CeCe. "You heard me Cameron, your new name is CeCe.""How about I make your new name ass hole?" I mumbled as I shoved my hands into the pocket of my joggers and he turned swiftly."What did you say?" He inquired, halting halfway out of the entrance door and I lied saying, "I sa
"Cameron!" The father yelled and I pulled it of Maya with bug eyes. We both popped our eyes open and looked at each other with fear in our eyes.Instantly, I stood up from the bed and ushered Maya into the bathroom before rushing back out to spray some airwick in the air. I instantly wore my pants then smelt myself before I wore a flat look and went over to the door. I pulled it open and scratched my hair like someone that was confused about what to do with his life."Cam-" he hesitated when he had seen me leaning by the doorway. "Been calling you for like ages. Where did you keep your ears, man?""Sorry, I was asleep." I tried to soun husky. He shoved me a little out of the door way and got into my room.He took a quick scan of the room and his gaze fell on me when he was done with whatever he was doing."Why is there so much airwick in here." He waved his hands as if he was fanning dust away from his face and he coughed a little with a puc
