take me down to the pawn shop

CHARLOTTESean’s dad… turned out to be a hard ass.We couldn’t go to the beach house. Not yet at least.Apparently, the enforcer had meetings… in a beach house? I had no idea why. So he told an infuriated Sean that he couldn’t have his weekend getaway till much later than we planned.That was a week ago.And in those days that have passed, I hadn’t felt more choked.By one person in particular.Mads and I spread food out in front of us as we watched TV in the living room. But my gaze shifted to the left, as a certain presence walked by the foyer. His eyes were hard, tense and haunting as they had been in the last few days.Caeson’s been stalking me.That’s honestly what it felt like.I tried to avoid looking at him, maybe if ignored him, he’d go away… at least, that was what I told myself.I noticed that he started lingering around me a few days ago. I bumped into him in the kitchen after breakfast, in the patio just when I happened to get there and even in the hallway. While the first

love, dad.

CHARLOTTEI pawned Caeson’s car two days ago.And now I was swimming in more money than I knew what to do with.The first thing I did with my sudden wealth was to move Da’ana into a new care home, the kind of place I’d stared longingly at in the magazine when I was picking a home for her in the first place.It was lavish. Her room and bed were much larger and her wing was in a private area filled with other children. There were private caretakers for each child, good food, decent entertainment and better specialists to help her navigate life.Most importantly, it was safe and hidden.I also no longer had to worry about her between the times when I wasn’t around, with all the things there, she was sure to have a great time.The care home cost a fuck ton of money, but it barely put a dent into the money I’d gotten from selling Caeson’s car.I knew the vehicle was expensive, but I’d deeply underestimated how much it cost. I probably wouldn’t have been able to make this much even if I work

Tap. Tap. Tap.

CHARLOTTE I was sixteen again. The cover of the threadbare comforter barely kept out the cold as I held the blanket up to my neck. I was shivering. But it wasn’t because of the weather. It wasn’t the chill in the air that rattled me to my bones. It was the sound of his footsteps. Tap. Tap. Tap. They were sluggish, drawn out, and loud. My father was drunk, making his way towards me like he’d been doing almost every night since the day mom died. I held my breath, keeping my eyes pressed shut as I heard him climb up the stairs. I counted the seconds in my head, praying to the goddess that he would pass by Da’ana’s room the same way he always did. Come to me, I thought. Come to me, so you can never go to hurt her. I would take all of the abuse. All the unwanted caresses and disgusting touches. I would take it all, without a blink of an eye. As long as it meant Da’ana would never have to live through it even once. Tap. Tap. Tap. His footsteps came closer as he passed by her ro

PTSD

CHARLOTTETap. Tap. Tap. I sat up with a gasp that bordered on a scream.My hand flew over to my mouth as short gasps burst out of me unrhythmically. My heart was racing, my vision was filled with splotches of darkness and every part of me trembled with fear.I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t think and I couldn’t feel anything other than the visceral feeling of fear that continued to make me tremble in place.I gripped the sheets and forced myself to relax the way I had many other times. I shut my eyes and sucked in long, slow breaths.There was a buzzing in my ears, and I dug my fingers into my skin and tried to reign myself back into reality.I wasn’t at my father’s house.I wasn’t back in that place.I wasn’t locked in my room praying that the moon goddess would save me.I was in my room, in the mansion, and far away from his reach. Da’ana was at her fancy care home, far away from his reach too…I’m safe, I’m safe, I’m safe…We’re safe. I repeated those words until I believed them a

merry 21, motherf...

CHARLOTTE The ranch was a couple of hours away, so we had to leave a lot earlier than I expected. There was a buzz in the air as the triplets and their friends settled into the cars they’d be riding to the ranch. I avoided everyone as best as I could and navigated through the crowd in search of Madeline, only to pause when I caught sight of her and Sean leaning against Sean’s car, kissing. I smiled a little and shook my head at their excessive PDA, but Ethaniel didn’t seem to be as amused as I was and let out a dramatic groan. I heard him mutter something about being stuck with them before he slipped into the backseat of Sean’s car as noisily as possible. I stretched and looked away from the two of them, eager to head out and begin what was planned to be an interesting weekend. The plan was to celebrate the triplets’ 21st birthday at the ranch that night, and the morning after, Sean, Madeline, and I would head to the beach resort Sean had managed to secure for us. We were only spe

next time, rinse.

CHARLOTTEI shuffled about to avoid getting elbowed by excited partygoers.Half of these faces, I’d never seen before. And I was sure a good percentage of the people here didn’t attend Lupin prep.The music was turned on at the loudest possible volume, but I could somehow still hear the shouts and cheers coming from onlookers as they watched Caeson and Reigh’s pool game.I lingered around there a bit before wandering around aimlessly to take stock of my surroundings. There was something disorienting about the utter chaos and carelessness happening around me.To my left, Tristan and Ethaniel were chugging down shots of vodka like it was nothing, bodies gathered around to cheer them on and laughed when Tristan nearly snorted out the alcohol from his nose, making him tap out.Avaria joined a few guys to play a seemingly intense game of beer pong with a red solo cup in hand, Sarah was on the whole other side of the room engaged in a game of strip poker and for some odd reason, the male st

russian roulette

CHARLOTTE My mind felt groggy. As the fog of sleep cleared, I blinked my eyes open slowly, squinting at the bright light seeping in through the open curtains. I was somewhere I didn’t recognize. My gaze drifted from the white ceiling slowly, taking in my surroundings. My body shifted over the white sheets of a massive bed, and my heart stopped as I pulled back the covers. A breath of relief escaped me once I saw that I was still fully clothed. Last night was a blur. I furrowed my brows and looked up, and then my heart stopped for another reason entirely. I wasn’t alone. And from the fact that he was walking around bare-chested, with bare feet, and with a certain ease about him—I knew this was his room. And I was alone in it. With him. Caeson moved to a dresser on the other side of the room, his back to me. I watched him carefully, trying to figure out how I could make it to the door before he even realized I was awake. He pulled out a paper plate and two small brown

unwanted host

CHARLOTTE“Oh my gosh!” Madeline exclaimed, leaning out the open window to get a better view of the beach resort.“Mads!” Sean said worriedly, eyeing his girlfriend as he drove.I laughed at her antics, but I couldn’t help leaning out the window a little as well. The beach resort looked like everything I expected it to and more.Lavish would be a mild word to use here. The beach house itself was large, nearly the size of the triplets’ mansion, and almost matching its opulence. Even the sand here seemed richer than it normally did.The moment we got out of the car, I could hear the sound of calm water flowing a few miles away. Palm trees swayed in the wind, a cool breeze hit my face, and the staff were all over us the moment our feet touched the ground.Sean’s car was taken away by a valet, and our bags were wheeled off by the waiting staff.Madeline stretched exaggeratedly and looped her arm around mine with a wide grin.“Oh, we’re going to have so much fun, I can sense it!” She turne

the textbook definition of a douchebag

CHARLOTTENot a word was exchanged between the three, but I could practically taste the displeasure hanging in the air.I didn’t know Macrieve, other than the incident at the restaurant, but going by that and the way everyone acted at the mere mention of his name, I’d say it wasn’t too much of a stretch to deem him the textbook definition of a douchebag.“This wasn’t our agreement, Anton,” Sean said. He worked his jaw, clearly trying to keep himself from saying anything more.Anton lifted his hands in the air, seemingly unshaken by the annoyed stares he was getting. He began to walk further into the kitchen, completely disregarding the annoyed sound that came out of Madeline at that point.“Anton,” Sean gritted out, glaring daggers at his back.“I know, I know,” Anton said, pausing briefly to examine the kitchen. “My lawyer handled the issue pretty swiftly, and now I have time to kill.” He turned to look at Sean with a dry grin. “I’ll be out of your hair before the weekend is even ove

never again

CHARLOTTEEven though my eyes were shut, the glare of the sunlight somehow managed to gleam through my closed lids.I let out a loud groan and opened my eyes to squint at the open window. My head hurt, and my mouth was dry. If I didn’t feel like my headache was going to split my head in half, I’d probably have curled right back into a ball to fall asleep.“I shouldn’t have listened to Madeline,” I muttered under my breath.Even though my memory was foggy, I could still remember last night: Madeline and Sean cheering for me as I tossed back shot after shot of liquor.I almost laughed at the memory, but laughing would have made my headache worse. It was amusing, though. I didn’t recognize this version of myself—the one that downed shots just for the hell of it and woke up the next morning with a raging hangover.I buried my face in my pillow and groaned. I was much too tired to think too deeply about the person I was turning into.I could still feel the sun on my skin, so I got up and s
