CRUEL ROMANCE: MR. LANGSTON'S OBSESSION CH.6
TESSAThe crowd goes silent."Because of cyberbullying. Because people were cruel to her online after that party. Because someone filmed her most vulnerable moment and turned it into entertainment."The irony is so thick I could choke on it. Maya, the architect of my destruction, is now positioning herself as my defender, my champion, my grieving best friend who just wants to offer comfort in my darkest hour."The Whyte family has always looked down on people like me," Maya continues. "My family doesn't have their money, their connections, their power. But that doesn't mean I love Tessa any less. That doesn't mean I don't deserve to be by her side when she's fighting for her life."The comments explode with rage:"Rich people think they're better than everyone!""Maya is such a good friend!""The Whyte’s should be ashamed!""Let Maya see her friend!""This is classist bullshit!""Maya deserves better friends than the Whyte’s!""Tessa's family are the real bullies!""I'm literally cryi

TESSAI open Instagram first, and my world implodes all over again.The video is everywhere. Reposted, shared, turned into memes, reaction videos and compilation clips.#TessaFail is trending.#FatGirlDown has over a million views.Someone has auto-tuned my sobs and turned them into a remix.But it's the comments that really destroy me:"LMAOOOOO this is the funniest thing I've ever seen""Imagine being this delusional about your weight""The audacity of thinking Derek would actually want THAT""Natural selection at work""Someone should put her out of her misery""Fat bitch got what she deserved""This is why obesity should be illegal""I'm crying laughing at this whale""She really thought she was the main character""This is what happens when you don't know your place"The comments keep coming in an endless scroll of cruelty that makes my broken ribs feel gentle in comparison.People I've never met, will never meet, taking time out of their lives to kick me while I'm down.

CRUEL ROMANCE: MR. LANGSTON'S OBSESSION CH.4
TESSAThe first breath feels as though I'm swallowing shards of glass mixed with gasoline and setting my lungs on fire.I wake up screaming.Not the soft gasp of someone emerging from peaceful sleep, but the raw, animalistic shriek of prey that's just realized the predator's teeth are still buried in its throat.My body convulses against the hospital bed, monitors exploding into a symphony of medical panic as my heart rate rockets past dangerous into lethal."TESSA! TESSA, NO!"My mother's voice cuts through the chaos, but I can't see her through the blood-red haze of memory.All I can see is Maya's triumphant smile, Derek's cruel laughter, the flash of phones recording my destruction.All I can feel are boots connecting with my ribs, hands in my hair, the taste of copper and betrayal flooding my mouth."GET AWAY FROM ME!" I'm clawing at the IV lines, ripping at the bandages, trying to escape a hospital bed as if it's the marble floor where I died."DON'T TOUCH ME! PLEASE DON'T—""Sed

TESSAMaya isn't done. "You were never my friend. You were my personal ATM with abandonment issues. The sad, fat girl who'd do anything for scraps of attention. Did you really think I'd choose you over Derek? Look at us, then look at yourself."Derek steps forward with a cruel smile. "And there's one more thing you should know, Tessa. This whole thing? It was a bet. I bet my friends that I could get you to steal at least thirty grand for me before graduation. Guess what? You hit sixty last week. I just won five hundred bucks off your desperation."A bet. I wasn't even a person to them. I was a game. A source of entertainment and easy money.The laughter reaches a crescendo, and someone starts a slow clap that spreads through the crowd. I'm surrounded by the sound of my own destruction, drowning in the cruelty of people I thought were my friends.I can't breathe.The air in the ballroom has turned thick and poisonous, each attempt to fill my lungs met with the suffocating weight of a h

TESSAThe crowd can smell blood in the water now, and their whispers turn cruel as knives."Look at her face!""She actually thought he could love her!""This is better than a soap opera!""Someone please tell me this is being livestreamed!""Tessa, I never meant for you to get the wrong idea about us. I thought I was clear that we were friends. I thought you understood that what we had was beautiful and pure and perfect exactly as it was." Derek's words come measured and careful."You were so generous to help us build our love," Maya adds. "Even when it meant taking money from your parents. Even when it meant risking everything. That's not just friendship – that's sacrificial love."The words are kind, supportive even, but they land like hammer blows to my already shattered heart. Because everyone can hear them. Everyone can understand what they mean.I've been exposed as the pathetic girl who stole from her parents to fund her crush's relationship with someone else, and it's being p
CRUEL ROMANCE: MR. LANGSTON'S OBSESSION CH.1
TESSAThe bass pounds through the Castellano mansion but all I can hear is the sound of my soul being ripped apart piece by bloody piece.I stand frozen in the archway of the main ballroom, champagne flute trembling so violently in my hand that the crystal sings a funeral dirge as I watch the two people I would die for murder me without even blinking.Maya and Derek. My sister in everything but blood and the boy I've loved with every broken piece of my heart for two endless years. They're pressed against the marble pillar in the center of the room like Greek gods claiming their temple. His hands fisted in her hair while her legs wrapped around his waist as they kiss with consuming hunger.Everyone is watching and smiling.The sight burns through my retinas, searing itself into my brain where it will live forever… the moment I learned that love is just another word for self-destruction."Oh my God, Tessa!" Maya's voice cuts through the music as she spots me over Derek's shoulder.She p
