ELIANA

ONE WEEK LATER

I stare absentmindedly at the sky from the rooftop. This is how I spent most of my day even back at school. I would occasionally zone in and out during lessons…

I thought that when the day finally comes, I would be so ready to face it and that I would be happy. I hate to admit it but-maybe I’m not that prepared the way I thought I would be because I can feel this dull lingering ache at the depth of my heart.

Hard to ignore.

Blowing a deep breath, I dart my eyes around, tr

    ELIANA Zoe blows a deep breath and it feels like forever because I have been waiting desperately to get a reaction from her.“You're right.” She says with a small nod but then goes quiet for a second, the corner of her lips tipping up into a smile and there's this look in her eyes which is scaring the shit out of me.“I should be mad at you for keeping everything away from me. I should be mad at you for making me look like a fool because I have been talking to you about staying away from Jackson when you're secretly sleeping with him. I should tell you how terrible of a friend you are. I want to yell at you. I want to scold you. Heavens,I want to kill you but…” She trails off and silence falls over us once again. I can hear my heart pounding wildly against my ribcage, fear clawing at my heart because I have never seen Zoe this way before. I want to run away but my legs feel so heavy that I can't take a step.“I-I can't.” She breathes out, her voice breaking at the end and she looks

    ELIANA “Please tell me it's not what I think…” I take a sharp breath, Zoe's words are like a punch in my guts. Slowly, I turn to look at her and it only makes me feel worse.I open my mouth to say something, my lips quivering. Perhaps come up with a lie like I have always done or a cover up story. However, I can't bring myself to utter even a single word.Without a word, I close my lips. I can't lie to her. I know she knows the damn truth. I recall the look in those green eyes in the hallway as she gazed at my messy hair, the hickey on my neck and my wrinkled dress. How she looked at me dead in the eyes like I’m made of glass and she could see through me.How am I supposed to lie to her with a straight face? She knows exactly what happened. It's just that-she doesn't want to believe it. She wants me to convince her that what she saw wasn't true. I really do want to do that. I want to forget about everything. I want to pretend like it never happened but…I simply can't.The silence bet

    ELIANA It feels like time has stopped and everything is moving in slow motion. My heart is pounding wildly against my ribcage as if it's about to fly out of my chest the next second. Zoe looks at me, my hair which was neat when I left the kitchen now messy and my wrinkled dress. Her eyes trail slowly to my neck and all the colour on my face drains. She stares at the exact spot where Jax’s mouth was locked a few minutes ago.“Please excuse me. Hello there Zoe,” Jackson says in a calm voice, excusing himself as he fixes his pants. I can't help but wonder how someone can act so casually. Of course I should have expected it…Zoe doesn't respond to him as her eyes are focused on me like she's expecting me to say something. Anything.It's quiet in the hallway as Jackson's footsteps fade away. I can hear my own breathing, my own heartbeat and…I swear to the heavens,I can hear my blood flowing through my veins.My lips are quivering as I open them in a desperate attempt to say something, p

    ELIANA “Is everything okay over there?” My mother looks over her shoulders as she shuts the oven when she hears us whispering. “Yes aunt Vicky, everything is fine over here.” Zoe responds, looking in my direction and I flash her a smile… Minutes pass by, my mother is in charge on the stove while Zoe and I help in doing other chores like chopping the onions, tomatoes and anything that she needs help with. We talk about anything and everything, the conversation effortless and full of laughter. Heavens, I have been too busy with senior year, university application that I didn't realise I had missed this moments like this where I forget about the rest of the world, surrounded with loved ones and have a meaningful conversation. Uncle James arrives a few hours later with a bottle of pinot noir and I’m so happy to see him. However, I don't have that much time to talk to him because I’m busy helping mom in the kitchen. _____ My breath catches in my throat when someone pulls me by

    ELIANA TWO WEEKS LATER “Come on Eli, you need to wake up,have you forgotten which day it is?” My mom’s soft voice cuts through the quiet air as she walks into the room. A groan escapes my lips, “Give me five.” I complain, opening one eye to peek at her. She walks to the bedside and plants a kiss on my forehead, “You know I love you so much but no, not today.” I make a throaty noise of disapproval. “Okay…Let me freshen up first.” I drag the first word and she laughs wholeheartedly, “That's my sweet girl.” She compliments teasingly, giving me another kiss on the forehead then rises on her feet and walks out of the room. Of course it's thanksgivings and there's no way I would forget about it because it's the first long holiday since schools resumed. Even if I suddenly develop dementia and forget what day it is, my mother would remind me about it because it's her favourite holiday after Christmas. She loves Thanksgiving so much because it brings families together. It's our

    ELIANA “The words!” Jax growls, his deep voice cutting through the quiet air on the rooftop and for a split second, I’m afraid that the world would hear us. However, the worry is replaced with a wave of a sharp sting and pleasure when he bites on the sensitive spot on my neck then sucks on it to soothe the sting.Heavens, I never knew that this kind of thing would turn me on this much. A mixture of a sting of pain and pleasure. I know it's crazy. I know damn well that someone in their right mind shouldn't be this turned on. They shouldn't be breathing this heavily and craving for more. They shouldn't be aching for more than they're given. Well…perhaps I’m not that rational the way I thought I was. The way they raised me to be. The way they expected me to be. The way I’m supposed to be because…I like the adrenaline rush that comes with the pain and pleasure. Maybe-a little too much than I’m supposed to.It's…thrilling, exciting and it drives me insane. It makes me want more. It makes

    ELIANAA frustrated sigh escapes from my lips as I turn on my sides for the thousandth time, trying to get some sleep but…to no avail. I stare at the digital wall clock, watching the clock tick in slow motion and it feels like time has been frozen. I close my eyes, clear my min

    Chapter ELIANA I turn off the tap, reach for a towel and dry my hands. It is silent for a while inside the kitchen, the atmosphere thick with tension and something more that I couldn't quite wrap my head around, Jax’s words still ringing in my head. Slowly, I turn around to look at him and

Slowly, I raise my head to gaze at my reflection in the f
