Cameron glanced at the screen of his phone and blinked his eyes like the caller ID had stepped on his nerves. Curious to see who it was, I stretched my neck to view the screen–I was too late because the call ended. 

"You were saying something." I voiced and the phone started ringing again. "Don't you want to take it?"

"No... Let it ring." He glued his eyes to the TV screen and completely ignored the call. 

I craned my neck again and found the call to be Maya's. Why didn't he want to take the call, was their fight that serious? 

"Why aren't you taking Maya's call?" I cleared my throat and asked. 

"Your friend is unbelievable. She first of all told me about how cute she

    Andre looked confused and crimson. What did he mean by the expression he was putting on or wasn't I attractive?"Why are you acting like she's a plaque you're trying to avoid?" Lola asked, resting her hand on her waist."No, I'm not doing that." Andre frowned at her and averted his gaze to my still face."Jade, you should just go to prom with him. At least, y'all wouldn't be lonely that day." She shrugged, batting her lashes as usual."I'm not sure-"Lola cut Andre off. "I asked Jade and she said right twice."Oh, so that was what she asked. I internally face palmed and wished I was paying attention to what she was sa

    The voice of my father yelling my name, made me hold my hand in the air."Jade!" He walked in his dark blue police chief uniform hastily to where we were and brought down my hand. "What's going on?""Oh, sir..." Sheryl held a hand up to her head dramatically and closed her eyes. "It's this pathetic human that was attacking me... See, she clawed my face."Sheryl showed my father the bruise I had given her the day she yanked my hair. "Arrest her, love her behind bars.""Calm down, Sheryl." My father used his hands to demonstrate it. "My daughter wouldn't harm anyone if she wasn't trying to protect herself."My father defended me and a smug grin etched to my face at how shocked Sheryl appeared.&n

    I ran to the bed and shook his body with fear coursing through my veins. My heart pounded against the walls of my chest violently as tears blurred my vision."What did you do, Cam?" I stammered, confused about what to do. "Oh, I said-said you weren't fine."There were two long red bruises on his wrist, where the blood was sliding out from. I opened my mouth to scream, but couldn't. My breathing intensified and I threw my bag on the floor."Mom!" I screamed, finally finding my voice. "Mother, help!"I picked up the yellow pill container and read what was written on the body. The name of the drug was te–I couldn't even pronounce it, so I kept it back on the bed and went to check his pulse.&n

    "What are you doing here?" I interrogated Tristan.He shoved his hands in his sweat pants and stepped aside, ignoring what I had asked him."Tris-" I didn't get to finish my sentence because Lola jumped out of no where and hugged me, almost squeezing the life out of my body."I'm so sorry about your brother, Jade," she said and rubbed my back. "Accept my condolences.""What?" I pulled out of the hug and shook my head. "He's not dead.""Oh, thank God." She held a hand to her chest and tittered. "I don't have to wear another black dress.""What do you mean by another black dress?" I asked, furrowing my brows."My sister-" she hesitated and mustered what seemed to be a fake or was it a sorry smile? "You don't wanna know."I sighed and decided to let this one slide. It was definitely one of her shenanigans or maybe one of her relatives died of

    The phone sat inbetween my ear and shoulder as I took a cookie out of the plate miss Gina had brought out of the kitchen."Hi, Lola." I spoke into the phone and held it with my hand again."Hey, it's been a little while since we saw." She sounded cheery as usual.I thought about my next reply. If I told her it had been long, she might suggest coming over and I didn't want to see Tristan around me. It seemed like he was always giving her a ride. He ignored me most of the time with a grumpy look on his face and I usually felt it to the core."Jade?" She brought back my attention to her."I'm here. I'm currently babysitting so I can't really come out today." I gave a

    Mother was done styling my hair and buttering my face up in powder. My hair was in a high bun with curly locks flattering my forehead."Do you want me to repack your hair and maybe give you some edges?" She asked, more excited than me."I like it this way." I answered, feeling a little giddy. This was a once in a lifetime event and I didn't want to appear under or over dressed."Lip gloss, lipstick or just colorless stuff?" She held them up one by one for me to see and I selected the lip gloss.She pulled it open and carefully applied it on my lips before spinning me around to gawk in my awesomeness. I was adorned in a red, off shoulder, Giorgo Armani mermaid A line dress that brought out everything seductive that I had.

    My chest heaved when I saw Tristan and Lola exchanging DNA, locking their darn lips together. His hands were on her waist, while she pulled him in like a hungry wolf that hadn't seen food to eat for the past one week."Tristan!" I yelled, shaking with a clenched fist.The reason I had yelled his name that way was unknown to me. They pulled out of the kiss and turned to look at me with a confused expression."What's your problem?" Lola asked, approaching my small figure."How could you?" I asked the both of them, glancing from Tristan's face to hers."Who is that question directed to, I don't understand." Lola tittered with scrunched up brows.

    He squeezed my butt again and I could feel my inbetween becoming moist. He trailed his hand up my neck and nibbled on it, almost earning a moan from me."Tristan..." I moaned, trying to resist him. "Chloe is in the house, we can't fool around in the kitchen.""Then let's go to the room." He whispered on my neck, tingling my skin with with his breath."No, this is not my house. Stop being a hormonal teenager." I gently pushed him away, but Tristan was the devil's advocate.He strolled sexily behind me and gave me one of those my favorite hugs from behind. I rested my head on his arms and enjoyed the moment."We're not in my house remember?" I snapped my fingers and he sn

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!"

    "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.

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
