EVEWhen I stepped into the packed freshman orientation at V.G. Hill University, a wave of nervous excitement damn near knocked me off my feet.I was prepared, but slightly apprehensive.Okay, really apprehensive.This was my first time away from home, away from my overprotective Father and stepmother.Navigating through the crowd, my attention was suddenly captivated by a commotion at the front.An extremely tall, muscular guy with shaggy brown hair and deep brown eyes was arguing with the staff. He was wearing khakis and a blue polo, which all the student-athletes were required to wear on days like these. He was at least six inches taller than anyone else around him. As a result, his frustrated voice boomed through the auditorium, making it sound like he was standing right beside me as he spoke. "I'm a junior. I've got better things to do than sit through this bullshit again!" he barked.Despite his volatile frustration on clear display, there was something undeniably intriguing abo

I just kept running, my body functioning on shock and autopilot.I ran until I was sure I was away from it all. Away from the wild echoes of the party, I never should have allowed Rissa to throw for me. Away from the looks of people who were thinking, "I told you so," as they murmured half-hearted apologies. Away from the piercing sting of betrayal from the one person I thought would never betray me like that. I ran until my legs were on fire. I finally stopped by the small fishing pond behind the community center. I grabbed a stone and hurled it into the calm waters, watching as it shattered the mirrored surface. Overwhelmed, I crumbled onto the dock, my sobs merging with the quiet ripples. Like the water's surface, my solid foundation had just been rocked, and as strong as I wanted to pretend I was, it hurt. It hurt worse than anything I'd experienced before. I scarcely noticed another presence in the depth of my desolation until a deep voice startled me. "I wouldn't be so up

"On the couch? I thought you were far more refined than that." I teased with a wink.He pouted and said, "And what do you mean by that?" I couldn't hide the giggle as I said, "I just never imagined someone with a last name like StClaire would do this type of thing on a couch." Drake's smile and eyes turned radiant as he pulled me closer for another intense kiss. He wrapped his muscular arms around my waist, effortlessly lifting me off the couch. Instinctively, I wrapped my legs around his waist, clinging to his neck as he carried me across the room to the bed. Our lips and tongues moved in perfect harmony even as he stumbled from the amount of alcohol he had himself.I quickly realized why we ended up back on the couch. It was closer, and he was trying to hide how drunk he really was. I pulled away, looking into his eyes. "Do I need to make sure you're of sound mind and can consent to this?" I asked.He just smirked.As he set me down on the bed, the blast from the air conditio

The officer in charge eyed me, searching for a hint of what I might decide. They knew that I was about the only thing here that could calm him down.They didn't know that was the last person I wanted to be right now. After a brief pause, which caused Kha to start bucking and screaming, I finally nodded, consenting to his desperate pleas. They allowed me to step closer to where he was restrained, and he calmed down instantly.Kha leaned in close, his breath a hot whisper against my ear. "Get me out tonight, and I'll tell you everything. Everything, Eve. One way or another. Please," he implored in desperation.I pulled away to look at him and had to stop myself from gasping. His eyes, which had glowed a haunting red just moments before, were now their usual brown. As I watched in total disbelief, they flickered again. The startling, unnatural oscillation between red and brown continued briefly before it stopped abruptly. He murmured a desperate "Please" again and kissed my cheek swi

As the clock neared 3 AM, I summoned an Uber to transport me back to the dorm. Walking alone through the deserted off-campus streets was not wise. The car arrived swiftly, and I was quickly back at the dormitory.They had boarded the front door up with plywood. Even touching the outside keypad would set off the campus-wide alarms, so the first-floor RA was camped out by the door, opening and closing it for everyone from the inside. She looked up at me as I waved at her through the remaining window. With a sigh, she let me in. "Sorry," I mumbled."Don't worry about it, girl. He's actually far calmer these days, believe it or not. Happy birthday. I'm sorry he decided to act like that on tonight of all nights," Marley remarked. She was one of the few people who seemed okay with Kha. She was the sole reason I could get him up to my dorm as often as I did. I figured she was sweet on him or something. I commented that to Kha one night after she let us pass, ignoring a 6'9 tall individu

The following afternoon, as the campus buzzed with excitement for the game, Rissa and I made our preparations. I decided against wearing Kha's number 33 jersey and wore a simple white t-shirt and jeans instead. I put makeup on, but just enough to look like I had tried. Just enough to hide the hangover and shame from the night before. I didn't even bother with my hair. I just pulled it up into a messy ponytail. I never put my hair up. Not here, anyway. I made it a point to stop the second I got to college. I didn't need to anymore. Someone wouldn't constantly pull my hair here. As a journalist covering the event, Rissa always had access to prime seating. She handed me a pass and said, "This will get you on the field."I hesitated. "I don't want to be down there the entire game, Riss."Without missing a beat, she quickly arranged for us to sit in the third row, right behind the team's bench.She thought it was a perfect compromise. While it was better than being on the field with

Returning to the stands, I slid back beside Rissa. "I saw the girl Kha slept with in the bathroom."Rissa shook her head. "You need to drop that boy," she advised quietly."I already broke up with him, remember?" I reminded her. I didn't even believe the words as they left my lips. I had just called him my boyfriend in the bathroom. It was clear where my mind was still. Rissa laughed. "I highly doubt he thinks that's true."The game continued with its share of high-tension and thrilling plays. Drake excelled on the field. His athleticism was undeniable as he scored and assisted with compelling precision.True to form, Kha was a chaotic mess of energy and aggression. His tackles teetered on the edge of recklessness, drawing penalties and reluctant admiration from the crowd.For all the chaos he caused daily, this was one of the many reasons the school loved him. Few could justify celebrating his personality while on the field while simultaneously shunning it in daily life. I instin

KHA - A security officer stood near the front entrance of my building as we pulled up. I looked over at Eve, who was already shaking her head. "Yeah, my dorm is out too," I muttered. I paused, then said impulsively, "I'll just get us a rental. We need to be far away from the dorms anyway." Eve looked worried. "Why must we be away from the dorms?" "Smooth job there, Ace," Vance mocked in my head. I bit my tongue before turning to Eve. "Do you still trust me? Do you believe you're safe with me?" I asked. Vance's voice echoed in my head, mocking me again. "She doesn't trust you. How could she after everything you've done?" "Shut up, Vance. You caused it, not me," I snapped back mentally. "Plus, you know she's the only one keeping us sane." "She keeps you sane, maybe. What about me? I'm always stuck here because of you, and I don't get to see her," Vance retorted. "You think I don't know that? You think I don't feel the constant struggle?" I argued silently. "She's going to

KHA - I forced him to witness the hurt we had caused, keeping him pinned to the forefront while he thrashed against it. He didn't get to hide in the shadows this time. He didn't get to retreat. If I had to live in this mess, so did he. Holding her, all I could think about was how desperately I needed to make things right. "Please stop crying and listen to me." I stepped closer. "I can tell you everything now. Everything. But we have to let the delivery get here first." "Why do we have to wait for the delivery?" Her hands twisted in her lap. "Because things might get a little crazy after I tell you, and I don't want anyone coming around." I rubbed at my face. Vance chuckled darkly. "Smooth job again there, Ace." She started to panic, and I internally cursed. Vance was a mess, his chaotic thoughts mirroring my own. "No, no, shit. It's nothing you have to fear... fuck, I'm messing this all up." Eve grabbed my hand, her touch instantly silencing Vance's howls. "Okay, we can wait. C

After several moments of holding her, Eve finally spoke up, catching me off guard. "I thought you said he talked," she said. It made me laugh and her eye me. "He does, to me," I explained, still chuckling. "You have inner thoughts, right? Well, I have mine and his. And he is relentless with me. If he could talk to you, you'd probably hate both of us.""That's messed up," Vance chimed in my head, and I mentally snapped back at him, "Well, it's true. You're a part of me, and I hate you most of the time."Surprised that this was the first thing she chose to ask after such a revelation, I held her at arm's length, looking into her eyes. "Are you okay, really?" I asked, genuinely concerned about how she was processing all this."I guess, I don't know... I think I'm in shock," she admitted, her response ringing with a hint of disbelief and confusion."You likely are, and that's okay," I reassured her with a slight chuckle. "I'll answer any question you have. I can now.""So your dad would
