All Chapters of Repent : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

~Haven's POV~ Being with Tristian was one of the best feelings in the world. Nothing compared to it. Not singing in the church choir, or ushering, or praise dancing. He made me feel alive. I loved the way he touched me and kissed me and never pressured me or made me feel bad about my sexual inexperience. He'd been exactly what I needed after that jerk, Gabe.  Tristian was more than I deserved. I could tell he appreciated me and would never hurt me. That didn't mean I was giving into him so easily. The fact that my friends, my parents, and Heath would never approve of me being with him worried me more than I'd like to admit to Tristian. Right now sneaking around is fun and hot, but what if I fell in love with him? We can't sneak around forever. How would I be able to convince

~Haven's POV~ My conception of time was terrible while high, so I wasn't sure how much longer we stayed before Tristian drove me home.  It seemed like it took us literally a second to reach my house. I wasn't really high anymore, just kind of giggly. "What do I do?" I whispered. "You go in there and you act normal and then you sleep this off." Tristian answered. "How can I act normal ?" I snorted. "How about I go in with you?" "Yes please. Can we make out?" "Sure, babe." I stumbled out of the car and then attempted to straighten myself up. Tris

*Tristian's POV* Why is time going so fucking slow? We're still three days away from Saturday aka the day I make love to Haven. It's like God knows the sins we're gonna commit and was punishing us ahead of time for them. I had everything planned out. I was taking her to one of the nicest restaurants in town. My parents were letting me use the credit card. I told them I was dating a nice Christian girl (but not to bring it up to my grandma) and I wanted to take her on a nice date. They're so happy that I seemed to be turning over a new leaf.  It was the first time since that horrible night that they actually seemed interested in me and what was going on in my life. We hadn't spoken much since I had moved here. Just a few forced phone calls courtesy of my grandma. She was always working so hard to keep our family together.

~Haven's POV~ Tristian and I made out for like twenty minutes when he dropped me off at home. I entered my house feeling high and I didn't think it was weed.  "Haven, is that you?" Mom called. "Yeah." "Can you come here sweetie?" I went to the living room. Mom and Dad were watching Jeopardy as usual. "Hey!" I smiled. "What's up?" "We just wanted to check in on you." Dad started. "We've noticed some...changes since your break up with Gabriel." "What kind of changes?" "Well, you don't straighten your hair anymore and your clothes are...different." Mom pointed out. "I mean you are a beautiful

~Haven's POV~ It was finally here! It's the day I lose my virginity to Tristian. I was nervous and yet completely ready for it. I knew this was the right decision. "You nervous for your date tonight?" Heath asked.  I nodded. "Kind of. But also I'm not. I mean it's Tristian. I don't have to be nervous with him." "Good. Um, Grace and I heard what happened with the others." "They don't know him," I whispered. "They had no right to say those things." "I agree, Haven. But you called Abby Godless?" "It's true. God is love and she does not spread love. She spreads hate all over the place. That's not right."
