When I entered home Dad was at the doorway with a glass of juice in his hand. "You're late," he told me. "I was doing things." "With Rich," he said, "Venus, you know I don't like you to go with him for a long time." Rich is not what it seems. I closed my eyes for a few seconds and tried to calm down, I didn't want to argue with Kyle today. I had spent a nice day with Rich so I didn't want to take away the feeling of tranquility in my system right now. "Not now, Kyle, I'm tired." "They called me from college, you didn't attend classes." Fynn also told me that you failed his subject. What is happening to you, Venus? When you just came here I was very understandable with you, I tried to understand you because yes, I made mistakes in the past but I was willing to remedy them. However, now seeing that you are going astray I cannot continue to be tolerant of what you do or say. I looked at him super surprised, it was the first time Kyle talked to me like that. His voice was hard. "Excuse me
When I got home I felt so mired in my thoughts, in my pain and in my hatred that I didn't realize that I knocked on the door. That could have woken up Kyle perfectly, well, if he was asleep. Although I doubt it, considering that I took his car ... I climbed the stairs in a hurry and entered my room. Rich I couldn't believe he did this to me. "Venus, what's up?" "I heard Kyle on the other side." I lay down on the bed and crushed my face with the pillow. My tears came out involuntarily. Why the hell did I let Rich get into my life like that, to my heart? I felt that this link I had with him would be my downfall. "Venus, open the door." "Get out, Kyle!" Leave me alone. ”The last sentence was broken. What I least wanted was the pity of this man who had forgotten how to be my father. I didn't want to be here. I wanted to run away and never come back! I felt a lot of hate towards Lina, I felt a lot of contempt for Rich too. He lied to me, told me he was at home but I go and find him with he
Rich was at Fynn's house, doing what? Fynn, our teacher was dead and someone had shot him in the head. Rich watched me attentively, as if I was afraid that I would be scared. -How? "I wanted to know." "Well," he laughed a little nervous, "I wanted to do something good for you, I wanted to talk to Fynn and ask him to give you more time and not reprove you but it was useless, Fynn was a very strict teacher." I felt a little relief when he told me that, my mind was already betraying me with bad things, things that I know Rich wouldn't do. I smiled shyly and approached him to hug him, his smell invaded my nostrils. I liked feeling it so much, feeling his perfume, his hands around me. I realized that I was falling in love more and more about Rich, it was something I couldn't stop, it was something very strong and intense. I was scared, very afraid because my bad thoughts tortured me by telling me that Rich will one day get bored of me and leave me. "Thank you for wanting to help me," I mur
"Rich, we should go back inside," I groaned in his ear. We were still in the stands of the training camp, we kissed and talked about things, but it had been a long time, maybe two hours and we had not entered to find out if there were classes or not. At that moment my cell phone started ringing on a call. I snorted and took it out of my bag. It was Kyle. "Who calls you?" He wanted to know, stroking my thighs. "It's Kyle," I replied. "I won't answer." "V, maybe he's worried." "Leave those things aside then." Rich took the cell phone and accepted the call but gave it to me, even though I signaled him not. I rolled my eyes and finally replied: "Hello?" "V, where are you?" I knew what happened to a teacher, I'm worried. "I'm fine, in college." I stressed Rich's hair. It smelled so good, I had become very accustomed to this smell. His eyes, his nose, his mouth. This man had me crazy, I felt that I fell in love more and more with every second that passed. Rich's way of seeing me, as if it w
I stopped the car, without leaving, just watching Kyle. He was standing, without expressions on his face, but he didn't see me but Rich, he looked at him with a kind of hate. "Are they your bags?" Asked Rich, a little anxious. I know this because his hands began to rub each other in a desperate way. Also his leg went from top to bottom. "Your father wants you to go." "I suppose so," I answer, because the truth doesn't surprise me. Kyle had never been a good father, maybe I don't remember what happened years ago but I only know that he never fights enough for his family, he gives up the first one, he is so cowardly that I hate him for that and more things. I wish my sister was here, but instead I have to be with this man who is called my father. "It can't be," Rich murmured, still anxious. "You can't leave, v, tell him not to take you away." I looked at Rich, taking his hands to calm down a little. "Easy, you're having a kind of anxiety attack." I will not go anywhere. The corner of hi
My alarm clock alarm goes off, making an annoying noise that causes me to jump up and down in my bed, opening my eyes in the process, but I close them a second later, mentally cursing the creator of alarm clocks. Especially that one that sounded so loud that I imagine all the neighbors hear it.The horrible Monday had arrived, it was the middle of the semester. There were still months to go and I was praying for that to happen, to be able to escape the suffering that was high school. I reached out my hand, turning off the noisy thing and sat up in bed, rubbing my eyes and giving a little yawn. For some reason I stare at a shoe in the corner of my room, seconds pass and I wonder what I'm doing.Half an hour after showering and putting on my usual baggy gray clothes, I grab my backpack and get ready to leave my room to go to the kitchen for breakfast. The first thing I see is Dad making toast, but I think he's burned one because I hear him curse."Everything okay?"I ask, hiding a smile,
As I left in the direction of the cafeteria, I was confronted with a somewhat... disconcerting scene. I actually stood still in the same place, observing what was in front of me. I don't know if what I felt was disappointment or sadness.My sister was making out with a boy, but it wasn't just any boy. It was Colton Dashner. My legs wouldn't follow orders, as my mind was on the two of them, the picture from before, was that my sister in that picture? My sister didn't wear glasses, or maybe she did.I snapped back to reality when I felt someone pass me pushing my arm, making me stagger. Loren walked past me smiling cheekily and then left with her friends. I took a deep breath and hurried to walk, as I almost passed Angelique and Colton, they parted. Colton looked at me. He was watching me, I gave him a quick glance at the time I passed him, feeling like that moment was passing in slow motion.He's with my sister, so get him out of your head Monique, you're not good enough for him or any
Colton broke away from me immediately and looked out the window."Shit" he cursed, putting the knife in his back pocket. "The police are out front, you have to come down.""What?" I was scared now, I didn't want to get involved with cops or anything like that. Colton was desperate, but not that desperate, he was calm in spite of everything. What am I supposed to tell him?"Make something up, if they ask for me...." He watched me carefully... "You'll say what you think best." He stepped back and sat on the edge of my bed, leaning his back against the back of it. "That's if: you haven't seen me, you don't even know me."The doorbell rang again. I was stunned, lying to the police is a crime, however, I remembered that Dad would be coming and if he looked at the police he would be alarmed.I nodded, adjusting my glasses, gave Colton a quick glance and then left my room. I walked down the stairs with trembling feet and went to open the door. Two policemen stood in front of me."Good evenin
