EIGHTY-TWO: PRINCE CHARMING? II

BRITNEY ASTON “We’re here.” I cursed under my breath as Lucas pulled over in front of his place, turning over to face me as he did. “Come on.” I watched him turn around to help me with the door and then stretched his hand so I could take it. Hesitating, I stared at his hand for a while and with a deep breath took it, having him lead the way into the house. A part of me felt terribly guilty for coming with him. But I knew I was going to feel worse if I decided to allow him spend the night on the bench. He was not only going to freeze but it was also going to make our relationship more complicated than it already. What my mum thought considering me spending the night at his place but in no way important to me but instead, Travis’ opinion was. He couldn’t blame me though. It was all his fault too. If only he had shown up then I wouldn’t have been so desperate to get an escape from my mum and his dad. “Britney, you might have forgotten but I don’t bite,” Lucas spoke up, fi

EIGHTY-THREE: THE TALK.

BRITNEY ASTON An ache had to be an understatement for now my head felt the following morning. I couldn’t find a way to put into words how bad it hurt. It was pounding, throbbing and at some point, felt like it was going to burst open and vomit all of its contents. After struggling to order an Uber the previous night, I staggered all the way home and had to empty my bags to pay the driver. Luckily for me, my mum wasn’t in sight by the time I got home, giving me the opportunity to quietly crawl to my room and leave myself locked in there to suffer the entire night. Now, morning, I only felt worse than I did the previous and to make it all more terrible than ever, I knew I was only going to feel worse if I decided to spend the entire day indoors. I was not only avoiding my mum now. I was also avoiding Jack. And Lucas. And now Amber too. “Great,” I muttered to myself as i laughed bitterly, my head aching all over again from even the slightest movements. “Just great, Britney.”

EIGHTY-FOUR: SECRETS.

TRAVIS LEWIS It had been three days. Three days since I ran away from everything like a coward. Three days since I locked myself up in this house without stepping out even once. Three days since I felt like myself. Three days since I last saw or heard from Britney- three days since I felt alive. Fights with my father were nothing new. Yet with every single fight, he still always managed to strike a nerve in me. And this time, it was managed to hit one that sent me into a state of isolation for longer than expected. Leaving the house after fights wasn’t also a new occurrence to either of us. Before he got married to Rose, I completely lost count of the times i left the house in anger and locked up myself in a completely different house, city or town. My spontaneous trip to New Jersey was as a result of one of those fights and for a while, I believed I’d moved past that phase. Running my hands through my hair, I sat up and looked around me. I was far from home and in a place

EIGHTY-FIVE: BRUISES

BRITNEY ASTON I read the address on my phone for the hundredth time in the span of barely two hours, the cab finally pulling over. It had to be the most spontaneous decision I’d ever made. I didn’t hesitate for even a second, leaving college almost immediately I confirmed the address was indeed where I was to find Travis. The ride lasted for over an hour, my gaze shifting between the road and my phone the entire time. We were heading towards a completely unfamiliar path and all I could think about was Travis. I had so many questions for him but before anything else, I hoped he was okay. My heart raced at the mere thought, my imaginations running wild as I wondered how he was doing so far away and why Lucas was the only person who seemed to guess where he could be. “He’s fine,” I held onto my phone tightly, reassuring myself. “No matter what happened, I’m sure he’s fine. He just wanted to be by himself for a -“ “Miss, we’re here.” I was quickly interrupted by the voice of the c

EIGHTY-SIX: TEARS.

BRITNEY ASTON I stared at the now shut door for what felt an eternity, contemplating my every decision all over again. It really didn’t feel right to leave Travis just like that and return home. But I was helpless with no other choice but to give in to his wishes. After helping me clean his wound, he turned around and looked away from me, telling me my time was up and indirectly asking me to leave. With a sigh, I wiped my hands, realizing how completely dried my hands now were. Considering how wet they previously were after I spent minutes wiping the living room floor, I realized how much time had passed with me waiting outside and hoping for the door to miraculously open. It was going to happen though. Travis had made it clear he needed to be alone. And if there was anyway I could help him, it was probably by doing exactly what he wanted from me and nothing else. My shoulders slumped in defeat and I finally turned around, heading for the unfamiliar main street. It was getting d

EIGHTY-SEVEN: THE WEIGHT OF CONCERN.

BRITNEY ASTON Left to me, I was going to skip college for the day. But with my exams fast approaching and tons of study materials to cover, that was going to be a terrible decision. And I wasn’t ready to make another terrible decision. So I groaned and rose to my feet, got into the bathroom to freshen up, got dressed and with another groan, grabbed my bag and stepped out of my room. The second I approached the stairs, I was greeted by the smell of freshly cooked food. Undoubtedly, it was my mum cooking, a sigh immediately escaping my lips at the thought. Was it just a coincidence or did her cooking have some other ulterior motive? Remembering how I broke down in her arms the night before, I sighed again, hoping I hadn’t dug my grave myself. “Britney?” Before I knew it she appeared in front of me, taking off her oven gloves as she saw me. “Oh, you’re up. I was just going to come wake you.” “Good morning, mum,” I nodded softly. “Yeah, I’m up.” “Come, I made breakfast,”

EIGHTY-EIGHT: THE THIN LINE BETWEEN HATE AND LOVE.

TRAVIS LEWIS A wince escaped my lips as I ripped off the band aids on my legs, revealing barely healed bruises. Regardless, I squeezed the now useless band aids and tossed them into the waste bin, finally getting up from my bed. Catching sight of another band aid plastered against my skin, I sighed to myself, wondering just how many Britney decorated my skin with. I could finally understand where she was coming from- I had so many bruises all over my legs and had absolutely no idea myself. Letting out a grunt, I ran my hands through my hair and stepped out of my room for the first time over twenty four hours. My legs felt numb, my entire body felt dirty and I knew I was in desperate need of a bit of fresh air and a bath. I walked into the kitchen, my stomach rumble as I did. I probably wasn’t hungry but I needed to eat if I had any intention of surviving the next couple of days. With a defeated nod, I looked around me and opened the fridge, its state of emptiness causing my stoma

EIGHTY-NINE: GOODBYE KISS.

BRITNEY ASTON My days at college were becoming very cliche. Nothing new or exciting occurred anymore. All that happened was me going to school after awkward encounters with my mum and Jack and then after that, heading to school to have less awkward conversations with Elle and Lucas. It felt weird but I was slowly getting used to it. Not like I had much of a choice anyways. Especially when I was starting my exams the following day. “Are you ready for tomorrow?” Elle asked me, staring at the pile of books laid in front of us. They were all decorated with sticky notes, highlighters and markers- serving as more than enough proof of how far we’d gone. “Are you ready to face whatever questions shoved in our faces tomorrow?” “Am I?” I sighed and pushed the paper I was studying away from me. “My brain feels numb. I think I need coffee before I can actually think of anything right now.” “Same,” she clicked her pen and immediately rose to her feet. “I’ll go get us another refill. You

NINETY: SURPRISE, SURPRISE.

BRITNEY ASTON Looking at my marked calendar, I could literally feel shivers going down my spine. It was finally here. The day I’d been dreading and looking forward to ever since my first day at college. It was finally my first day of exams. I grabbed my last revision notes alongside my backpack and stepped out of my room, heading downstairs. I could already perceive the aroma of fresh breakfast courtesy of my mum but regardless of how good it smelled, it couldn’t fill the emptiness left in the house ever since Travis left. My entire weekend was spent doing two things- thinking about Travis and I’s kiss and using the time I wasn’t spending to think about our kiss to read. The kiss was like a drug and though it managed to erupt all sorts of emotions in me, it was one I didn’t regret as it got me through the weekend without another word from him. “There you are!” My mum’s words were filled with enthusiasm as I walked into the dining. “Oh, I love your blouse! Where did you get

NINETY-ONE: RUN, AS FAST AS YOU CAN.

BRITNEY ASTON “What?” I could feel color slowly fleeing from my face, Elle’s question immediately echoing in my head. It was probably an harmless question. Even more, it was probably just a rumor. It most likely wasn’t what I was thinking. Right? “What do you mean?” I tried to force a smile on my face, trying my best to act like nothing serious was going on. “Travis and I are sib- step siblings. He’s my stepbrother. We are-“ “Yeah that part wasn’t left out,” she interrupted me to say. “That’s pretty much the reason it’s a big deal.” “I know it’s Travis and he naturally gets an exemption about most things but you aren’t actually sleeping with your stepbrother, are you?” There it was. The forbidden and hidden truth was right there. The truth we thought we were doing a good job at hiding was suddenly out in the open. “They say there’s a picture of you two kissing or something like that. I didn’t see it but I don’t even think I need to. It’s not true, right? It’s just some crazy
