All Chapters of Broken Bad Boy: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

HAILEY   “What the hell were you thinking?” I was still pressing a tissue against my swollen nose, wincing in pain. “Who are you now, Hailey? I don’t recognize you anymore?” Dad was shaking with anger down at me. “It was my fault, Mr. Ward. I went to your house to tell Hailey about Lexie,” Victoria said as we gathered in the precinct. “No. It was my fault. I was the one who told Victoria to go to Hailey—” “I don’t care who’s fault who! You all could have gotten hurt. Why didn’t you just call the police or call 911?” “And tell what, Dad?” I met Dad’s gaze. “That someone held a party? As far as I know, it’s not illegal.” “Underage drinking. Taking of drug substance. How about bullying? I don’t care if they own the city, I still took an oath to protect the people.” “Are we under arrest, Mr. Ward?” “No. But you will stay here until morning.” Dad turned to me. “And you are grounded. You will stay and go to schoo

HAILEY It was amazing!  I was not exhausted of some sort, but I had barely enough energy left to breathe when he drew me into his arms and never let me go. His sigh of contentment was a relief that there would be no awkward moment after sex—one of the post-sex things I heard and read in books.  I let myself sag into his arms, nuzzling my nose into the crook of his neck before I closed my eyes. We stayed like that for a long while.  Percie lazily trailed his fingers on my back down to my spine while I just placed my hand on his chest, feeling the rises and drops as he breathed.  Things came into my mind—was there anything going to change between us? What should I say if he built back his walls? Should I pretend that I did not enjoy my first time or pretend it did not happen? And so on. “What now?” When I couldn’t bear the thoughts spinning in my head. He kissed the top of my head and lifted m

PERCIE   Once you made one mistake, people forgot your good deeds. What stuck in their heads was that one mistake. The last person I thought would never judge me was Hailey. When I saw those judgy eyes staring at me, I snapped.  Now I left her. Not because I was mad at her, but at myself. I cared about her more than anything, but seeing her questioning my sanity, I couldn’t bear that look. I had to go away for a while. I found myself walking away from the campus. I stayed for a while outside my car, wondering who burned down that warehouse. No students would dare. I knew that. Unless someone who hated Adrian or those rich stupid kids.  I scratched my head in frustration.  I shouldn’t have left her like that alone. I should have been straight with her.  Hailey deserved to know the truth. My conscience was clear, yet what the fuck I was still doing here? “Damn it!” “Is something wrong? Is

PERCIE   After that accident, it took me a while to drive a car. Honestly, I was busy trying to kill myself. If it wasn’t for Emma, I might not be able to do it again, but she kept reminding me that it was not my fault.  When Remy patted my back and said drive safely, he reminded me of her. I followed him back to school and parked the car beside his. I was still checking my message when someone was shouting outside. My stomach tightened as soon as I recognized that voice. “Seriously? This fucking sister killer? This is how you spent your free time. You so went too low, Rem.” It was Adrian. He was glaring at Remy. He looked like he just came out of bed with tousled blond hair and bloodshot eyes. He must have been drinking. He was a mess. “And hey, you asshole! Your girlfriend will pay for what she did to me!” My anger combusted in my chest. Before I could say something, Remy grabbed a hold of my arm. “He’s drunk.” “She

PERCIE   “You’re still upset with me?” Finally, we got back to our apartment. She dropped her bag on the couch, her books on the coffee table before she took a seat. Her silence was killing me. I wanted to fix it before this night ended. “Lee, you have to talk to me.” I sat down on the rug, took off her socks. She didn’t resist. “I’m just tired.” “Did anyone bother you while I was gone?” “Besides those fame-hungry bee-tches? No. I was bombarded by students when I arrived. What’s the big deal?” I massaged her foot. “It’s a big deal when you went up against Adrian.” She looked at me. “Massaging my foot, really? That’s how you make up to me after you left me alone?” “No, Lee.” I shook my head. “I was upset—” “You mean mad,” she corrected me. “Very mad. Scary mad.” I shook my head again. “I wasn’t mad at you. It just caught me by surprise that you looked so little of me.” “I was
