DYLAN.

The room smelled like antiseptic and something else. Something colder, regret maybe. I sat in the creaky hospital chair that barely held my weight. But it didn't matter. None of that mattered. The only thing I could focus on was the girl lying motionless in the hospital bed in front of me–Amelia.

My Amelia.

She was so still. Too still. Her usually expressive face was pale, bruised, swollen. I couldn't even tell where some of the injuries ended and where her skin began. The machine beside her beeped in a steady rhythm, a cruel reminder that her heart was still fighting even if she looked like she'd already given up.

And I wasn't there, I wasn't fucking there.

I clenched my fists and looked away, the guilt so heavy it made my chest ache. My throat burned from holding back tears, but one slipped down anyway. Tracing a hot, salty line down my cheek.

“I'm so sorry, Lia.” I said, barely above a whisper. My voice craked, like something was breaking inside me and maybe it was.

    AMELIA. The pain was unbearable, but it wasn't the physical kind that hurt the most. No, it was the silence that hung around me–thick, suffocating. I could feel the weight of it in my bones. My eyes were heavy, but I couldn't open them. I wanted to. I tried so hard to make my fingers move, my legs twitch, anything. But my body wouldn't cooperate. It was as if something was holding me in this endless limbo between sleep and waking. Then, through the haze of my mind, I heard his voice. Dylan. His voice broke through the fog, clear and full of emotion. I could tell it wasn't the same Dylan if seen before–this version was raw, vulnerable, and completely undone. He was….hurting. I felt it in the way he spoke, the desperation in his words. The way he confessed everything I'd been waiting to hear for so long. I didn't even know that I was waiting for him to say all these things to me. “I love you, I love you so fucking much that it hurts. And now I might never get the chance to say it

    AMELIA. The door slammed open with such force that it rattled the walls. And in the blink of an eye, my mother was standing in the doorway, her face pale and panic-stricken, her eyes wild with worry. She looked like she hadn't slept in days-like the weight of the world had settled on her shoulders and she was on the verge of breaking under it. “Amelia!” Her voice cracked as she rushed to my side, almost tripping over her own feet in the frantic urgency to get to me. “Oh my God, what happened to you? Who did this to you, sweetheart?”She dropped to her knees beside the bed, her trembling hands reaching out to touch my face as if she were trying to reassure herself that I was real. That I was alive. Her touch was soft, but her fingers felt like ice against my skin. Her face was streaked with tests, her makeup smudged, and the raw emotion in her eyes made me feel like I was about to crumble. “I…I don't understand. Baby, you look ..you look like you've been through hell. What happened

    AMELIA. The hospital room was quiet–too quiet. The kind of silence that wrapped around your chest and make it hard to breathe. The air was cold and sterile, but I barely noticed. I lay still in the white bed, the soft hum of the IV drip the only sound in the room. My fingers trembled slightly as they curled around the edge of the blanket, my knuckles pale from the pressure. My heart thudded in my chest, not fast, not slow, but heavy, like it was dragging me down with every beat. Dylan had gone home. My mum had insisted. Something about needing to change clothes and get some rest, even though I knew that wasn't the real reason. My mother was trying to give me space–space that I hadn't asked for. Space I wasn't sure I wanted. I needed people around me, but no one could possibly understand what I was going through. Not even Dylan. Not anymore. I stared blankly at the ceiling, my mind replaying every horrible second of the past few days in a loop. Dylan blowing my mind with great sex

    AMELIA. “But then….she came back. She said I owed her. You remember when she said that there was one thing she would ask me for?” I asked Ava who paid extra attention to what I was saying. “Yes.”“It was Dylan.” I said. “What? What do you mean it was Dylan?” She asked me and I shrugged. “She wanted to use Dylan for a certain type of scarifice.” I explained to her and for some weird reasons, she looked like she understood what I was saying. “She said I had to give her Dylan or I'd die.” I let out a humourless laugh that ended in a sob. “I thought it was a joke. But then she started coming every night, scratching at my skin, whispering in my dreams. She chokes me when I sleep, Ava. I wake up gasping, I can't breathe.”I pressed my hands to my chest. “I tried to ignore her. To stay strong which I did, not even Dylan knows about the choking she does in the night. Anytime we sleep together though, she doesn't show up. I don't know why, then she possessed Valerie. It was like she wa

    AMELIA. The days passed by very fast. The past few days brought relief, finally I didn't have to carry the burden of the secret alone. I had Ava with me and I didn't regret telling her. If anything she was the only person I could trust with this information.I could also trust Dylan with it, but the problem was that I didn't know the way he would react to it. I didn't want to see the disappointment on his face when I told him. I wanted to enjoy the moment we had until it had to end. Which I hoped wouldn't happen anytime soon. But all good things came to an end. I dared to wish that Dylan wouldn't find out, because with Ava being on this with me, she told me that we would have to go on some very scary journey's and read a few ancient books. I really appreciated her because she didn't even know how she was going to tell her mother that we were doing this. She said her mother didn't like hearing witch business, apparently there was some scar that it left on her and Ava promised to t

    VALERIE. I haven't been able to sleep properly since that night. Not because I'm afraid of what might happen to me, hell, I've been through worse. But because every time I close my eyes, I see her face. Amelia. Bleeding, broken, still. It didn't make sense. I mean yeah, I've hated her for a while. I'm not even going to pretend like I was one innocent bystander in all this, I said nasty things, spread rumours, in fact did nasty things. Laughed at her in front of people, hit her once or twice. But what happened that night? That wasn't me. That couldn't have been me. Because when I replay it in my head, her screams, the way my fists connected with her skin over and over again, I don't recognise the girl doing it. It wasn't even rage. It felt like….something else. Like I wasn't in my body. Like I was just watching it happen from somewhere far away and screaming at myself to stop, and no one was listening. Especially not me. But I can't tell anyone that. They'd laugh, or worse, the

    DYLAN. The scariest part about love is not the vulnerability it demands–its the fact that you could lose them, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. I've never known fear until I almost lost her. Not like that. Not in a hospital bed, surrounded by the faint beeping of machines that sounded like death knocking than medicine healing. I could still hear the rhythm of it in my sleep– those irritating, godforsaken beeps, cold white lights overheard, the sterile smell of antiseptic that clung to my clothes after I left. I didn't leave much, though. Not really. I camped in that waiting room like my life depended on it. Because in a way, it did. Amelia wasn't just a girl I liked. She was the axis my whole damn universe rotated on. And when she was unconscious, pale barely breathing, my world tilted. Nothing made sense. The jokes weren't funny. Music didn't sound right. Food tastes like ash. The weight of not knowing if she'd wake up crushed me in a slow, unrelenting waves. I

    AMELIA. It's been weeks that Dylan touched me and it has been driving me crazy. I wanted him to touch me the way he used to, but he made it clear that if I didn't recover, he wasn't going to. Right now we just finished having dinner, my mother was not around but she knew that Dylan was with me right now. We stood by the sink as we stared at each other. There was too much heat in our body that it felt like we were about to explode. I swallowed drily as he wrapped his fingers around the ridged length trapped against his thigh beneath the unforgiving denim.Slowly, deliberately, he tugged himself upwards so that the swollen purple tip of his cock appeared above the waistband, the head wet with precum that I wanted badly to paint across my panting mouth, lick off with my eager tongue. I licked my lips, lost to the fantasy. My gaze clung to his groin but I knew he watched me, knew his eyes would be bright with desires and longing. He played me perfectly, manipulating me with his beaut

    AMELIA. We were finally here. The nervousness that reduced while we were in the car, came back right on. Ava's house was so beautiful, and it felt homey. Somewhere I would consider a home. “Now, just be yourself, and she will love you,” Ava told me at the door and I nodded. Then she pulled the big door to the back, the door was big and heavy, but she managed to do it and I entered. The house was looking all beautiful, and the art and everything complemented the house. “It's a beautiful house you have here.” I told her and she nodded with a smile. “Thanks, girl. It's all my mum.” She said and I nodded. “It's beautiful.” I whispered. “Now, let's go up to my room and I can change from this dress and we could find something for you too. So you can shower and feel fresh.” She said and I smiled. “You don't have to do that you know, that's like another st…..”“Don't you dare finish that statement Amelia.

    AMELIA. After school, I called my mum to inform her of the changes regarding our dinner plans with dad and she was totally fine with it. For her, she wanted me to make more friends, go out of my shell a lot more and she likes that I have Ava with me, it makes her happy which also makes me very happy. So, we were on our way to Ava’s house right now and I'm not gonna lie, I was nervous and anxious. I had never met her mum previously and I was making a request from her the first time I meet her. I didn't know how it would portray me and all that, I just hoped that she wasn't a complicated person. “I can see the worry on your face.” Ava said and I chuckled nervously. “What do you expect? I'm very worried and nervous, this is a very delicate matter to your mother and I'm scared that everything might go left quickly.” I laid out my complains to her and she nodded in understanding. At least she understood where I was coming from. “Well, I'm also very worried, you know, I'm just trying

    AMELIA. “So, why exactly are you worried?” Ava's voice sounded from my side and I sighed. “You're aware of the whole Alura thing, no?” I asked her. “Yes, I am. And How's that stopping you from enjoying your time with your man?” She asked me and I sighed. “When the truth comes out, he might hate me. That's why I'm trying to spend as much time as possible with him, so I won't regret it in the future.” I told her and she just scoffed. “Girl, it's simple. If he leaves you after the truth about Alura comes out, then he's not for you, this whole Alura thing will be a huge test for your relationship with him.” She told me and nodded. The thought of him not being fir me, according to Ava, scared the hell out of me. I personally would understand if he decides to ditch me after he found out about the Alura thing, but from Ava’s perspective, it was another thing. I understood her, but I would also understand Dylan if he leaves me. I've been bothered about the whole thing more after the c

    AMELIA. The wave of pleasure subdued finally, Dylan took me to his room and fucked me again, like he was a starved man, and I liked every second of it. After we had sex, he cleaned me up so gently and right now I was in his arms. We were both in a very comfortable silence, which I liked. This was something that I couldn't find anywhere. I mean not everywhere. Dylan was the type of person that we could be in the same space and be quiet, without feeling the need to talk about anything, because that was how he was, he just had the trait. The same thing with Ava, which was why I cherished my friendship with her. I'm not happy with the universe on a lot of things but I'm happy that it brought Ava my way, because I really didn't know how I would have survived without her for the last few months. “What are you thinking about?” Dylan asked me and I sighed. “Nothing much, just how thankful I am that the universe sent Ava to me.” I told him and he scoffed. “You're thinking about Ava aft

    AMELIA. I wasn't sure what was happening, maybe I was dreaming because I felt pleasure building up in the lower parts of my stomach and I wanted to scream out, I was so wet and It felt so good. I started getting fucked so brutally that I opened my eyes and screamed, “Fuckkkkk.” I screamed and I tried to be aware of my environment. The pleasure was clouding my vision. Then I finally registered my environment, I was still on the floor in Dylan's house and I was staring right into his eyes as he rammed into me. “Dylan….” I moaned as he continued staring into my eyes as he did all this evil things to me. It felt so fucking good. Oh lord. I thought, I didn't realise that I said it out. “Your lord isn't the one fucking you right now, it's me.” He groaned as he continued fucking me. He pulled me forward and I fell into his face, he put one of my tits in his mouth as he drove me crazy with the administrations he was giving from his mouth. I could not even ask the question of how we g

    DYLAN. My eyes opened and I could immediately tell that something was wrong. Not in a bad way, I felt the presence that I had missed so much was on top of me. Amelia, without thinking, I inhaled her hair, once, twice, like a man starved of air. I missed her so fucking much and I pulled her closer to me, my hands were on her ass comfortably and I smirked, she was sleeping soundly and I didn't want to disturb her, her body melted into mine in all the right ways and I couldn't help but feel hot. My hand dug into her ass and I felt myself hard, fuck. I knew there was something I was feeling that I couldn't place my hands on. Damn it, I was so fucking hard that it hurts. This woman was doing a lot to me, my body even recognised hers while I was passed out as fuck, because tell me why I wake up from a drunk black out and I'm hard?I didn't want to wake her, she didn't know all the things she was doing to me. I could feel the softness of her large breasts on my chest and it only made it

    AMELIA.I've been at the door for over one hour now, Ava was sitting on the floor beside me. She got tired at one point. I didn't know what I would do if she wasn't here with me, she was my emotional support. I knew he was inside, the car he brought to school was outside and I was just pretty sure that he was inside. I was emotionally drained, I have cried, I have tried to be strong, but I was tired of everything. I also decided to sit down on the floor with Ava, I sighed. “Maybe he actually doesn't want to talk to me.” I said. “Maybe we are just wasting our time and he's not inside.” Ava sighed. I could tell that she was discouraged. “Maybe.” I said and we both fell into a very comfortable silence. Maybe I should just give up and then go back to my house, I knew I fucked up. I wanted to talk to him so bad and actually apologise to him, I wanted him to be in my arms again, I've missed him so much, within that short period of time. “Wait, hold on.” Ava said and stood up, I looke

    DYLAN. The doorbell has been ringing for a while now, but I couldn't even Stand up to open it, I was so fucking drunk and out of my mind. After my uncle dropped me off at my apartment, I brought out the vodka I had stashed away. Amelia was messing with my head. I didn't know what else to do to make her know that I was really sorry for all those times that I hurt her and it only hurt her more because she still thought about all those moments. She still thought about the time that I hurt her, she still thought about the evil things that I unknowingly did to her, could it be that just looking at me reminded her of all the things that I've done? Was that it?I didn't know how I was going to make her understand the fact that I was actually very sorry for the things I did, I was going mad and I was even okay enough to be sober while thinking about it. It all helps when I'm a little bit numb. At least, I can try to think on the things I'm doing wrong. Was Rowan trying to take her away fr

    NATE. My heart was racing wildly, badly. I feel like my heart could combust any second at how fast it was racing. The things that made me scared were a lot of things, I was scared of the woman that I just saw right now, the woman who broke me and and left me high and dry. The woman that almost killed me, she was right there, looking all innocent and sweet. Nora. Oh, how I've tried to keep her name out of my mouth for these last few years but I just couldn't do it, she's the reason why I can't think of having anybody to myself as a lover, I can't even think of being in a relationship with anybody because she would always be there. She has always been there, in my head, in my mind, and most of all, in my heart. As brutal as I can be, I don't lie to myself, I'm very very truthful with myself, I still love her. Even after all the painful years, even after all the hurt that she made me pass through, those years of almost going crazy. How does she remember my name though? I was so c
