"Are we going to your house?" Molly asked Damien.
"Nope. We are going to Robbie's place since you "for real" want to learn math. I figured we could focus better when Robbie's around," Damien smirked.
"Whatever, hey so...what's with you and that new girl Adeline?" Molly looked at him curiously.
Damien narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean. Nothing is up with us. She is just a girl in my class. We aren't even friends. Besides, she hates me."
Molly looked at him intently as Damien's facial expression changed when she mentioned Adeline. His eyes turned gentle. He must really like her, she thought irritably. She had been trying to make Damien go with her for months, but he kept brushing her off. This girl comes out of now
Adeline decided to go to the mall with Noriko since her mom was home which means she wouldn't have to take care of those losers. She wanted to help Noriko find something to wear at the party. Mandy had band practice, so she had to skip their shopping adventure.Adeline had been looking forward to going shopping with Noriko all day. Before moving to this hellhole, she used to do silly girly things like try on makeup, spritz on perfume, and try on ridiculous ugly prom dresses with her friends. She could finally be carefree and like a happy teenage girl with Noriko."We should check out that small store over there. I see some cute dresses with my name on them," Noriko said excitedly.Adeline recognizes the store as it was the same one she stole her dress from. "Um...I don't think I like t
"You just turned eighteen, right?"Robbie narrowed his eyes at Damien. "You know that, asshole. Why do you ask?" he said.Damien grinned. Robbie was going to get the shock of his life when he finds out where he was about to take him. Damien remembered his promise to Sally when he said he'd go to the strip joint and keep an out for her. He figured, why not take Robbie with him? He had never seen anything like it."You'll see," Damien smiled mysteriously."I don't like the look on your face. I'm gonna regret this, aren't I?" Robbie winced.Damien laughed and got in his car, followed by Robbie.The strip club wasn't extremely strict and didn't serve alcohol before midnight, so people can go in if they were eighteen years old. Robbie was suspicious of Damien the entire car ride there, but he didn't protest. Damien is his best friend, and he trusted him.Once they arrived, Robbie was floored as he saw exotic nude dancers dancing on the sta
Adeline saw Damien at school, and her chest tightened. He looked like someone brutally beat him. He had bruises on his face and a cut at the corner of his lips. What did he get himself into now? She tried to ignore the feeling of concern, but it was hard, so she walked away from him. Out of sight, out of mind, she thought.She saw the guys from the Irish Brotherhood hanging out by the water fountain. She paused as she heard Damien's name."Did you hear what happened yesterday? Damien Sky got his ass kicked by some Armenian guys. It serves him right! Fucking asshole," one of the guys chuckled."That's great, but why did they beat him?" his friend asked."Well, he was supposedly trying to defend his stripper girlfriend and messed with t
Damien stopped kissing Keira and looked around. Adeline was gone out of sight. Maybe he shouldn't have kissed Keira to make her jealous. When it came to Adeline, he lost all control and acted irrationally. Rick had moved from his spot and was now sitting on a couch with Noriko, who appeared to be very drunk. He was trying to make her drink water.Damien strode towards them and grabbed Ricky by his collar, making Noriko gasp."The fuck, dude!" Ricky exclaimed."What the hell were you thinking, kissing Adeline?" Damien hissed."What's it to you? It's not like you guys are together anyway," Ricky moved his hand aside."H...hey, le..let go of Ricky. Addie likes you more anyway," Noriko s
Adeline was feeling restless. Her body was hot, her heart racing. The only person who could make her feel good was Damien.Damien.She loved him. She couldn't help it. He was so sexy and so beautiful.I love him, I love him, I love him! She kept repeating it in her mind. Could he hear her? Did he know how much she loved him?"Addie," Damien let out a low growl and kissed her. He was licking and sucking her tongue and it felt good.She couldn't imagine doing this with anyone else. She just wanted to do everything with him. She gripped his shirt and pulled it over his head then rubbed her hands all over his chest and abs. She started to kiss and lick his chest then his neck. Go
Damien felt like his whole world crashed on his head. He didn't want to tell Addie the truth: that she got drunk, took ecstasy, danced naked for half the school, and he'd taken her to this hotel room to get her sober.She was the one who came on to him. He knew Adeline loved him even though she's looking at him with pure hatred now. And he wished all the love he felt for her in his heart would turn to hate because he loved her so much, and he just knew he's going to be stupid for her just like his dad was for his mother.Damien knew this was his consequence for being weak to temptation.Systema had taught him never to give in to temptation. That's why he didn't indulge in alcohol, and he was trying to stop smoking. He didn't do drugs, either. And he only had sex with women who didn't matter to him. Now he'd had sex with a woman he loved, and it wa
Adeline felt sick to her stomach. The drug must not have worn off yet. She decided to spend her entire day locked in her room, staring at the wall. She ignored her nagging mother and annoying stepbrother and stepfather, even when they yelled and banged on her door. Today, they don't exist.She looked up the after-effects of ecstasy online and figured out that was why she felt sick. She basically used up a year's worth of dopamine in one night. No wonder she was miserable.She couldn't stop thinking about Damien. Her mind showed her vague flashes of Damien making love to her. She kept remembering him being gentle and loving. Only she felt detached from her body, and it was as if she was watching from the ceiling.No, there was no way he was gentle. He raped her, right? she thought. But
Adeline went home and called her dad. She was tired of everything. Bad things keep happening to her. Terrible things. She couldn't take it anymore. She knew if she lived with her father, she'd have to take care of her bratty half-siblings, but anything was better than this. She needed to get out of this shithole town. Away from her mother, her abusive classmates, creepy step-family, and Damien. Especially Damien. He had hurt her the most.She didn't realize she had feelings for him until now, and she wanted to erase them. Damien would bring nothing but misery for her, and she had enough shit to deal with.Thankfully, her dad picked up the phone on her first try."Hey Adeline, what's going on?" her dad asked.Adeline couldn't hold it i
