ViaIt's been three days since I started avoiding them and as much as I hated to do so- I needed to do it.Me and Kol lied about going on a trip but I just couldn't stand to see them. I especially couldn't stand seeing Sebastian. I couldn't think about having to confront him about the fact that he lied and is still engaged to Nichole.I especially couldn't face the rest of them after they helped him lie to me. They helped Sebastian instead of telling me upfront and I resented them due to it."You really don't want to go to school today?" Kol asks me as he slides me a small bowl of arroz con leche."No." I pick up my spoon. "I feel incredibly nauseous." I say as I eat a bit of my breakfast."Via." Kol grabs my attention. "As much as me and Christian love to have you here-" He sighs. "Our home isn't your secret hideaway." He says and I look away from him."No, it's not and I know that." I take another spoonful of arroz con leche. "But I just can't go home. I live right next door too Ale
"I don't even know what the fuck I'm even trying to find," I tell him as I put the previous binder down and open the next one.The moment I open the binder, I freeze and my stomach turns into knots."Well, I'm sure you'll get your answers in here," Kol says, giving me a weak smile.The entire binder is filled with pictures like the previous one, but this one also contains documents."I can't look through this," I state as I close it up and put it aside.I was doing too much. What was I even doing? Why the fuck was I even here?I hated myself for getting to this point. I felt like a stalker-type girlfriend. I wasn't like this, and I felt like shit."Really?" Kol asks as he snatches the binder from the floor. "If you aren't, then I will." He opens it up and instantly begins looking through it.You know what—then again, I had a very good reason for doing this.They are all collectively hiding things from me, and if I couldn't get answers from them, then I was going to simply resort to fi
Via"I walked into your brother having sex with a girl who we both met at a bar," Kol states, causing me to freeze."Kol, you don't have to—" He cuts me off."I'm not telling you this because I want sympathy or because I expect you to lash out at your brother again on my behalf," he says as he lays his head against my shoulder. "I'm saying this because if I could redo that entire day again—I would." We stay together with our heads against each other's. "It hurt when I found everything out, but I needed to hear it. Just like you need to get answers for yourself. Answers that they aren't giving you.""Does the pain go away?" I ask him softly.He nods. "Yes." He says, and I finally let go of the binder."I don't know how I'm going to deal with this," I state as I flip to the second set of pictures.The more I pay close attention to the pictures, I see what Sebastian told me that day during our dinner. He doesn't seem happy in any of the pictures. He looks serious, but Nichole looks happy
Via"Okay class, It's the start of a new semester so I hope you all threw out all old documents from my class." Mr. Beaumont says and I have to bundle up my hands into to fists to get myself to not say let alone think about saying something sarcastic.I didn't want to give him the pleasure of starting a fake argument.Our arguments would always get us extremely heated and I'd end up wanting him. I simply wasn't in the mood for that right now.Mr. Beaumont proceeds to make sure we also clear out any old unnecessary documents from out laptops. "Okay, now that all of that has been successfully been delt with."He projects a document on the board. "For this entire first week I will be just giving you all an easy assignment." Everyone gasps at that. "I know, very unlike me." Mr. Beaumont chuckles and I feel knots in my stomach.Oh god, I missed his laugh so fucking much. I didn't even realize how much I missed his voice and him in general.Me and him make quick eye contact and I have to lo
ViaThree hours. More or less.I was anxious. I didn't want to go to the school's quad since I knew I'd see them there. I didn't want to though. At all.Hell, I didn't want to be here at school in the first place, yet here I was."You want to go to the quad to see the teachers' competitions?" Aiden asks, and I glare at him.I didn't want to see them today more than I had to. In fact, I wanted to be away from them—as in me at home and them here at school type of far."No." I state as I bite a big chunk of my white chocolate Reese's peanut butter cup.For Kol to even assume, let alone ask me if I wanted to go, made my stomach hurt. I hated him at this very moment for even putting that option out there."Come on, V." Kol nudges my shoulder, and I almost choke on my damn chocolate."Hey, I'm not the only one that doesn't want to go." I motion in Ethan's direction. "He doesn't want to go e—" I get cut off by Ethan."I honestly want to go too," Ethan says, then gives me an apologetic look.
ViaJust as he's about to try to make a bubble, the female principal from one of the other schools instantly makes a bubble and shoots out of her seat, causing the bubble to pop."And we have a winner!" the announcer says, and everyone instantly begins clapping. "Here is your gift card!" she chirps as she hands Mrs. Fuck-Knows-What-Her-Name-Is her gift card.She thanks everyone, and some other students hand all the principals a wet wipe. She then whispers something in Mr. Everhart's ear, causing him to laugh. After she's done, they proceed to walk over to my other men, and I feel my rage burn on.She was getting way too close to my men, and I was unbearably pissed.I wasn't even the fucking over-jealous type. That's how they were about me, not the other way around. So what was up with me?"Up next we have..." The announcer continues to read a postcard. "Mr. Montgomery, Mr. Beaumont, and Mrs...." Yeah, I no longer wanted to see this.If I didn't already want to run for the hills, I sur
ViaI pop the strawberry lollipop from my mouth and it accidentally makes a loud pop sound. Louder than I had planned, but it was far too late now.Mr. Montgomery looks up at me, and his eyes burn through my body just like theirs did earlier. All their eyes have been doing all fucking day. Their eyes burned my body so badly that I was sure that at some point my clothes would end up in flames."Is he done, Mr. Montgomery? Can we leave?" I say as I force myself to look away from him.God, why did they have this effect on me? I hated it."No, he's not done," Mr. Montgomery points out. "You can both leave once he's done." I can't help but roll my eyes."God, this is going to take a lifetime," I exaggerate as I put the lollipop back in my mouth and fix my fishnet tights.It was fucking hot in here, and it didn't help that I felt hotter in his presence. It was also way past an hour after school. I wanted to be out of this school already."Then you shall wait here for a lifetime," he says, a
ViaI felt like a crazy ass girlfriend. Utterly insane and obsessed. I'd say I full heartedly blamed Kol for the idea but that was a lie. I took it upon myself to say yes and I took it upon myself to look through Sebastian's house and now I was seconds away from looking through Maximilian's."Have they texted you yet?" Kol asks as he pulls into Maximilian's driveway."Yes." I say as I stare at the outside of Maximilian's house with knots in my stomach.I didn't want to go in. I didn't want to see let alone find anymore of their secrets. I just wanted the knots in my stomach to go away."Ready?" Kol asks me and I shake my head."No, not one bit." I bite bottom lip as I turn around and see the white gate behind us begin to close."Great, let's go." Kol jumps out of his truck and I whine.I get out of his truck and follow him to the front door."Kol, I don't even think this is worth it." I tell him sadly and he just nudges me to the door."We're doing it, now put the passkey in and let's
