I didn’t think about it before, rather, I think my mind was still hazy from whatever they gave me to knock me out. I can’t believe it.He looks nothing like him. I try to look closely at his features more and more, at one point he probably might think that I could be into him but I just wanted to get a good look to see the resemblance. I actually think their noses are the same. Maybe lips.Their eyes are completely different. Am I wrong?“Are you.. Taranis’s father?” I ask with hesitance. I could only imagine if he was really a random kidnapper who caught me for organ trafficking.The man gave a rough smile. “That is correct. I’m surprised you caught on so quickly. Unless he told me about you, of course.” He sounded like he was gloating to some extent, happy that he was being mentioned even if it was in a horrible way.I wanted to diffuse his fantasy.“I overheard your phone call with him.. sort of.” I shrug. “You know you could have just called me right? If you’re going as far as kid
PrologueI don’t know when it happened. We were just watching a movie, like normal roommates.Have you ever heard of a horror movie leading to something like this?He pushed me against the wall and buried his head in my neck, raking his tongue along my skin and then stopping beside my jaw to suck on it. It made me think he was deliberately trying to give me a hickey in the most obvious place possible. I shift my head, moving his lips to mine but they weren’t touching yet, just hovering close enough to build tension that was driving me crazy. I was breathing heavily, unaware of what was going on. How did this happen again?“I need to tell you something, roomie.” He whispers.I nod, swallowing. Was he going to ask to take things further? I would never! Even if he begged me to sleep with him, I would never do it.“Your breath stinks.” He smirks as he pulls back from my face.I bite my lip in rage and annoyance. “In that case I’m grateful for my breath. It kept you away from me, ergo I
Chapter 1I check my bag over and over again, making sure I have everything I need to start my first day of college. It was a 8 hour drive away from my house so if I forgot something, I’d have to forget it for good and just buy it there. I doubt my parents would come all the way to campus just because I forgot my underwear collection. I would have to buy anything I forget here.“I think I’m done.” I smile, looking down at the packed bag as I zip it up and put it upright. Grabbing the handle, I drag it through my room and lift it down the stairs till the front door.“Are you sure you’ve got everything honey?” Mom asks and I nod in response. She’s not your mother if she believes you.“What about your brush? Toothpaste? You took all your clothes right? Don’t tell me you forgot your underwear.” She frowns, assuming that I must have forgotten something already because there is no way I could do anything right in my life, eh?I bite my lip to suppress my annoyance. “Yes mom, I’ve got everyt
Chapter 2“GET OFF GET OFF GET OFF” The words came out in a series of yells as I try to push him off. Kicking him should have made him jump and hold his knee in pain, anything of the sort, he really has the nerve to fall on top of me huh? I have a feeling this was on purpose. It was way too smoothly planned out.“I can’t. I need a minute. You just hit my already injured knee.” He groaned as he laid still on top. His hard chest was against mine and I was afraid he could tell how nervous I really was. Since the door to the room was open, I don’t know whether I was hoping for someone to barge in or not. On one hand, I could ask for help to get him off of me, at the same time this situation is so embarrassing I would rather die than someone see me like this.“Asshole.” I mutter under my breath, knowing he would hear perfectly clearly since his chin was resting on my right shoulder and his face was buried in the bed. “That’s it.” I push against his shoulders with my hands and slither my wa
Chapter 3“Such language is not appropriate for our learning environment, especially not this class. I expect better from you and I hope you will heed my words.” The bald teacher said. He wasn’t completely bald. It was male pattern baldness. He had a line of hair at front and some at the back and at the junction of his neck but the middle was just an island of baldness. It was very shiny.The shape of his face really stood out to me. It seemed to start out as oblong but the bottom cheeks were just, really puffy. So it gave off the image that it went from square in the beginning to round towards the end.I’m not even sure why I was noticing all this while he was busy lecturing me on my language. I shouldn’t have yelled that loud, especially not outside the forensic workshop. I expected the kids in here to laugh at me, they did seem amused but it appeared to be directed against the teacher and not me. Maybe he is a real character here.I mutter a quick apology and grab a seat, waiting f
Chapter 4 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ I was sleeping peacefully. I hadn’t woken up throughout the night because of the cold like I had expected to. During my half asleep state, I was suddenly jolted awake by the sound of a door slamming. My whole body writhed in fear as I snapped awake and assessed my surroundings. My pulse had skyrocketed and beads of sweat instantly formed on my forehead. “It’s fine. No one’s here. I’m fine.” I reassure myself audibly as I take deep breaths. I look down, noticing the warm comforter engulfing me on the recliner. Looking over at my bed, I notice it was empty and the bed was made. The comforter wasn’t there.I scoff. “I half expected him to throw that wet blanket on me during my sleep. I guess he isn’t that heartless. Though if he had done it, I’d take revenge so good he’d shit himself.” I wonder if this meant I had to stop retaliating against him. Of course not, right? My 2 cents are that this is all part of his plan.
Chapter 5\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ He smiles sheepishly, something about it was unsettling. I walk away.“Hope we can get a cup of coffee sometime!” He calls out but I pretend that I hadn’t heard him and take the stairs down so I could head towards the dorm. Dead. There’s a point in self embarrassment where you stop feeling anything at all and don’t even care anymore. This was what I was experiencing at this moment. I had embarrassed myself to such an extent that I had stopped comprehending human emotions. Perhaps I’d hit a fuse within the nerves and stopped functioning entirely. “Maybe it didn’t happen? Maybe it was my imagination?” I mutter as I open the door. Thankfully there was no one inside so I could simply head to the washroom. While I continue to take the biggest shit of my life I bury my face into my hands while muttering about how I wanted to disappear from this world and hide under a crater somewhere on the moon. A part of me did not wa
Chapter 6 I had gone out for a snack, buying a pack of chips from the cafeteria and slowly taking a walk around the campus, on the grassy ground besides the path to the gate. Truthfully I was kind of nervous, wondering if I was going too far. A part of me pondered if any of this was even worth it, I have a feeling that it won’t make any difference. The only thing it will do is make him angry, I doubt it would annoy him enough to actually even consider leaving this dorm. If that’s the case then what am I even doing? Someone might say, I should just accept it. It is what it is, right? I can’t. I won’t be able to sleep peacefully. Not as long as I’m haunted by the memories. I sigh as I breathe in the fresh air, letting a couple of leaves attack my face as they fall from the trees.I head back to the dorm, opening the door while wondering if he had come in and saw the mess I mad-Wait a second. Why won’t my hand come off the door! Shit. “No no no no no, you’ve got to be kidding m
