'His love is like a witch's potion. Too much is not too good and too less is not very effective.'

Ava Jones...
My legs lost the strength to stand still and I completely hung on him for support. Gratefully, his one arm was around my waist holding me still or else I would have ended kissing the ground with my ass. His stare was intense. Ethan (without making any effort) successfully has my attention to himself.
I can't take my eyes off of his face while his tongue licked and fondled with my lips. All I could see was his dark eyes looking down at me as I stood frozen in his arms. If it had not been his teeth biting my lower lip then I don't think I would have come back to reality.
His wink followed a devilish smirk, Ethan raised an eye brow giving me a teasing smile. I quickly pushed him aside and looked behind me at Sasha and Max. The two of them were in tears, trembling and re
'If he is an addict, I am his addiction.'****My fingers froze in fear. The smirk from his lips gradually died. I took a few steps backwards in an attempt to maintain a safe distance from him since the way he stared at me, it was clear that he was about to take a step that would be regretted by me after that I refused to pretend to be his girl.And why should I?Isn't that true that we are not dating then why should I play along! I agree I came forward to help my classmates but how can I overlook the reality that I don't have a very good relationship with Sasha. She is one of those girls in the school who tries to show her superiority and show off her wealth. I cannot overlook that she does not like any girl talking to her boyfriend including me.I can admit that I came forward to help the couple more for Max. That guy is really very helpful. I sometimes wondered how on eart
'When we walked in the crowd with fingers entwining together, I knew I was not me any more.'****Third person's point of view...Hard...It was hard for Ava to walk by the bully brute's side, holding his hand. She felt awkward as they walked around in school with Ethan. "I am still very much angry on you for avoiding me like always but since it is my dear girlfriend's, that is you, birthday today... I am letting you without any punishment." Ava watched him smile at her as they came walking towards the threshold of the school.It was the time of the first lecture. The bell of the first lecture was about to ring. The students who have just hit their steps inside the gate of the school were rushing inside since any time the first bell will ring and the teacher will be in the class.But from what everyone can see, their eyes popped out an
'He was insecure of my male friends, I knew it. But he was also jealous of them, is something I never thought about!'****"What?" Ethan asked her.His eye brows narrowed in confusion. He amusingly watched her face as Ava flinched back with her arms locked behind her spine as she took steps in the opposite direction."No, I am not taking your ring!" he can't do anything else than rolling his eyes as Ava said that with vigorous shaking of her head.She was determined. Ava was startled and the little box in his hand only made her gasp in fear. This guy was literally controlling everything even when she knew it was wrong! Her heart pounded like an object shaking under a quake.The intensity of the shake was hard. Ava can feel her feet sweating and palms turning clammy. She moved back backwards bit by bit thinking that he was not noticing it s
12Ava Jones...Where are these two guys?The lecture was in full swing and the class was silent. It was English lecture and Professor Margaret, our thirty five years old slim and trim teacher was busy writing the main concept on the white board in her nice cursive handwriting while Johnny, the topper of our class read the fourth chapter of the second module.Mrs. Margaret was married to our P.E teacher. She has three children, all in our school studying in the fourth grade. All of the three were her lovely triplets who often had all of us (students) adore and play with them during their recess time. She was blessed with two identical twin boys and a girl. Mrs. Margaret preferred to finish her syllabus a month before the exams. She believed that in the remaining one month, we could do some revision and cover up all the concepts that were missed by students like Ethan.
13'When she announced she trusts him, he forgot how to breathe!'***Ava Jones..."Come on let's go to the canteen." The lecture was over. Dylan smiled at me with a blink of his eyes.Mrs. Margaret just left the class not before announcing that Ethan has to wait back for detention. I have long forgotten what had happened in the morning and was about to get up from the bench when, "Stay back, Ava. I need to talk to you." Dylan and I looked back at Ethan.Oh, along with forgetting the morning's incident I also forgot that he was sitting behind us. Surprisingly he was as quiet as a nerd shy kid who was scared of the crowd. Ethan did not disturb us throughout the lecture until now."Come on Ava... Let's leave. I also want to give you your gift." My lips sealed together.I was once again in the same situation
14'He never let his desires out, but when he did, I couldn't breath as they were beyond my imagination!'****Ava Jones...What was he thinking?He was all shocked a minute ago and now he was smirking devilishly!I gulped my fear passing him a narrow eyed look waiting for a reply from his side. "I am asking you something, Ethan... Just tell me why did you ask me to wait?" I grumbled.Firstly, he forced me to wait back in the class and now that I was ultimately here, he was smirking as if he was ravishing me in his imagination!Freak... What is wrong with me?'Focus, Ava. Don't let his vibes hit you. You are not him, are you? Better keep your eyes focused on him.'I told myself, my eyes never leaving the sight of his face.
'He was a bad boy with a rusted mind that was filled with raw passion and desires. And that— scared her.'***Ethan grabbed her arms quite roughly that it was covered in little angry red print. He knew she didn’t love him back, but he could not resist. He leaned in a little closer, their foreheads touching each other while he pulled her by the waist kissing her roughly. Dear god, he could not fight against the thoughts that were going through him. Her very smell was flooding his senses now. All Ethan thought was about her and only her.The roughness was not the outcome of his annoyance for what happened in the morning but it was the outcome of his resistance. Ava was that girl who played with his heart and let him yearn for her for months. She was a shy girl who was protected by her brother. And that she was a minor until a day ago, he could not do anything except waiting.Ethan Connor had
'When a new guy was mentioned, her throat dried on dread for she knew, her crazy stubborn lover would be offended'***Ava...I ran aimlessly outside the classroom. My heart felt heavy at the thought of being kissed and touched intimately that too on my freaking birthday. However, I can't complain much about it as the problem was called by me myself.I cannot forget that night when Ethan Connor had sneaked inside my bedroom in the late night and asked me for a kiss. He was not ready to leave before I gave him what he wanted. But any ways, in order to shove him away I ended promise him to let him kiss me after turning eighteen.I thought he would not remember it as after that day he reduced bothering me for kisses and other things. But what I experienced few minutes ago make me realize how stupid I was!My moist eyes made it difficult for me to look what was coming my
A few months later, The entire school building was decorated with a Pride theme. There were long strings of rainbow flags tied from one end of the two walls to another in each corridor. Students giggled and shot pictures under a tree that was yet again decorated with colours reflecting pride celebration. Their t-shirts had unicorns or rainbows while a circular batch on their chest glowed, that read, 'I support LGBT' The floor had glitters. There were rainbow balloons stuck on the wall. Girls wore rainbow tiaras and tassel garlands while the boys had rainbow wigs put on. There was no wall within the school building that didn't have pride hashtags. Various tags were scribbled on colourful chart papers and stuck out there. From #supportlgbt #lovefindsitsway #pride #iamproudofmyself and many more. Some creative souls have used VIBGYOR colours on their hashta
"Doctor," Standing in a corner meekly, Ava watched her dad stop the doctor as he came out of the OT. His eyebrows widened and a sigh escaped. From his expressions, she knew the news was not good. But still she hopefully compressed her palm on the chest, wishing to hear the words everyone desired. "We are trying our best." he said, his hand squeezing Mr. Jones' shoulder before he excused himself and left. Once again the corridor of the hospital bathed in silence as everyone stood scattered here and there with a fallen and pale face. After Ethan arrived in time at the clock tower, he dealt with Bill and rushed both Dylan and Noah to hospital. They had passed out. Worst... Dylan was not breathing given that he was already injured and the fight did more harm to his body. And Noah, he bled profusely that his
"D-dylan?" Ava’s heart sunk into calmness. Her eyes stormed with tears. She sniffed feeling her lungs refuse oxygen. The hair on her skin erected as the disheveled stature of her best friend came to view."How dare you bitch get my girl. I told you to stay away from her, didn't I?" Dylan roared on top of his lungs as he plunged a punch on Bill's right cheek.His blow threw him to the ground, his face down. "You coerced us to do shitty stuff, scared us with our relationship secrets and what not... Yet after doing so much you are here with her. How dare you." He was a mess of blood, smell of sweat and anger.His eyes were not two normal human eyes. They had transformed into dark ember balls that depicted small versions of fire ball. They glared down at Bill as he lashed him with blows and kicks.Ava could not take her eyes away. He finally came. Her best friend. They were
A veil of darkness clutched her vision unseen. Ava could see nothing. Her limbs hurt and head spun. Though there was that veil before her eyes still she can sense unusual happenings taking place around her.She can hear it. A sound of metal striking on something. It was intense and loud. Not ears deafening but a noise that brought a wave of terror along with it and crashed against the wall of her heart, shuddering her.And then there was that voice. Slow and quiet. Heavy with piss and husky with grunt. She also heard loud breathing beside it which indicated labour. Whoever it was, was working hard. Striking hard and breathing hard.Alas her body won’t support her thoughts. She had an important urge to see this person as well as the task he had undertaken and why. Unfortunately, the cover of her lids won’t elevate and let her see a thing.Not until she heard the voice clear a
Ethan’s face turned the colour of dead. It was pale, lips parted and breaths stuck in his windpipe, “You are joking, aren’t you? I have known Bill since childhood and I disagree with what you just claimed.” The friendship in his heart toward Bill did not convince him to accept their accusation.They just said that Bill, his innocent friend, coerced them to do things as he threatened them. Like shit, Bill could do anything but force someone.He was shy. He never opened his mouth to fight back people who tried to trouble him when alone. Although he was a friend to a jerk like Ethan, he remained non violent to people who picked on him with the intention to avenge Ethan for bullying them. When he could not protect himself from others' trouble, there was no chance that he would be trouble to anyone.About bothering them using their relationship status as a bait was
Ethan's POV"No, Sally. I said no.""But why? I see you eagerly need a lay. Then why not?""Because I am not interested in you." Slightly pushing Sally, one of my classmates behind, I got up from the counter at the club and walked away."Fuck you, jerk!" I let her words unheeded and joined my other friends in a booth.They were having fun. Playing a random stupid game, they cried in happiness and laughed like crazy. But here, I slumped as a disinterested mess of feelings and bad mood as the music hurt my ears.I miss Ava. If we had not had that fight and that stupid break up, I had been with her. We would have been probably enjoying a night ride while she hugged me from the back and laughed near my ear.It has been a month and we didn't talk except for certain events when it became important to face each other. Only for argu
Ava's POVYet another few hours rolled by with me shedding my tears of pain. The dilemma won't let me breathe peacefully. My heart felt heavy. As if it was weighed with the burden of something I was to be accused.While the sky darkened pitch black, stars twinkled quite aggressively. But here, in the room, I felt suffocated. My lungs won't swell properly, I could not breath deeply.This room was making my breathing hard which is why, I immediately pulled out a jacket and threw it around my back, and came out of my room.My legs halted at the door, the conversation I had with Noah now bothered me. It led me to look at the door of his room, it was closed. I wished to go inside and hug him, but my body would not follow it.I had mixed feelings. Sympathy and anger combined. I wanted my brother back as my best brother. I wanted the both of us to be best sib
Ava retired home after lectures. She had expected at least Dylan to follow her post that event but he didn't. Rather, he and Ethan enjoyed pizza in canteen while she sat alone munching on an apple.She missed all the fun she used to have with Ethan and other. But they were not missing her. They seemed to savour their lives without her.Had she really meant nothing to them?As tears formed again, Ava got inside her room and threw the bag on floor. She was about to jump on bed and cry to herself when she heard noises coming from Noah's room.She was skeptical and didn't want to see him yet her legs dragged her there. And to her dismay, Noah was sitting on floor with a bleeding heel. As she could see it, he had mistakenly stepped on broken pieces of glass that were scattered around on floor."Ughh, this hurts!" she clenched her fingers watching
"Miss. Jones, mind telling us about where you are lost? We would love to bring you back to earth so you pay attention in the class." Ava was looking out of the window during the class, when the teacher saw her."Umm, Sorry ma'am." She looked down in her book while the teacher rolled her eyes before resuming her teaching.Ava clutched her teeth tight and raised her head to focus. Her gaze eventually crossed the room and met with the dark pair of eyes that had been staring at her through out.Ethan.He was sitting with Dylan. The two guys were looking at her. Ethan with emotionless eyes while Dylan with sympathy.Ava ignored them both and concentrated on the diagram that teacher was explaining.'I hate them both. They are liars and cheaters.' She played with her pen, still being able to feel Ethan'
