LOGINCHAPTER 208VianneI rubbed my arms as I continued to pace around the room.It has been exactly six hours since Levi was arrested and I have spent each minute waiting impatiently for his return.Things were just starting to go well. How was he doing? Was he going to be out soon?I had a lot of questions in my head.Theo had driven out of the house after him right after he was taken.The school exams were only a few weeks away. Levi could not afford to miss them or he is going have to repeat…The sound of the gate pulled me out of my thoughts and I peeped through my window. Theo's black SUV drove into the house and I could see Levi in the front seat.A tear slid across my face as I ran down the stairs and outside the house.The door to the car opened and I jumped right into his arms and buried my face into his neck. “I was so scared.”His large arms rubbed my back then my hair. “It's okay. I am home now.”The hug lasted for more than five minutes and when it finally ended, Levi put m
CHAPTER 207Levi “Who is it?” I grumbled, yawning.A knock had just been placed on the door of my room.I got no response and I knew what it meant, my attention was needed outside and it might be urgent. I rolled the duvet off my body and sat up. I didn’t like that my sleep was interrupted by the knock.I did expect a hangover afterall I took two cups of drink last night but what I did not expect was how badly my head ached. It was bearable, so I was not worried. Prom went really well, I had a really nice time, and would do it again except for the part I had to deal with Bianca’s nonsense of course.The only thing that bothered me was how upset Theo was last night. After he spoke, he stormed into the house angrily.The shirt I wore to prom was still on me. I was too exhausted to take it off.I got up from bed after taking all the time in the world.It had to be Theo.He probably wanted to scold us again for being reckless.I pulled out a pair of black short which was hunting by the
CHAPTER 206VianneI will need more than a whole day to process all of this.All the nervousness I felt as I arrived earlier with Levi had melted away.I feel so much lighter now that I have nothing to hide.I was still getting stares but who cares?I tapped Diana.I've noticed she's been quiet for a while now.She spun and dipped her head. “I think I messed up, Vianne.”“What are you talking about?”“I like Charles. I should have never agreed to come to prom with Taylor.”She lifted her head back up and I could see the pain in her eyes. She was barely holding back her tears.I held her hands. “Are you certain you like, Charles?”She nodded briefly. “I know what I want now and it is him.”I looked back at Charles.He stood right next to Ryan and Levi.“Could you maybe ask Levi to tell him to step outside. I need to speak with him alone.”I nodded and pulled out my phone. “What are you going to do about, Taylor? He is also standing right beside him.”“I am going to speak to him once I
CHAPTER 205LeviProm was going far better than I thought it was going to.After our kiss, Bianca ran out of the party with tears in her eyes and her friends hurried behind her.It took a while but everyone slowly recovered from the shock and continued to party.It was finally time to crown prom queen and king.The contestants all made their way to the stage where the winner was going to be announced.Mr Anderston stepped forward and the DJ stopped the music.We all gathered and fixed our attention on him.Vianne’s arms were looped around mine.It feels exhilarating. Her being here with me openly like this.No more hiding.She leaned closer. “Who do you think is going to win?“Darren and Lydia of course.”“Are we all having fun?” Mr Anderson's loud voice echoed through the gym.“Yes.” More than half of the students replied. “As we all know it's time to crown prom king and queen.”The crowd erupted into cheers.One of the students walked up to him with a Tiara.Mr Anderson faced the co
CHAPTER 204VianneI made it to the side of the building before my legs gave out.The brick wall was rough against my back as I slid down, my dress bunching around my thighs. The parking lot stretched out in front of me, cars glinting under the streetlights. Music still thumped from inside the gym, muffled now. Distant. Like it was happening in another world.My phone was already blowing up. I could feel it vibrating in my clutch. Text after text after text. I didn't need to look to know what they said. Everyone would be asking questions. Making accusations. Spreading what Bianca had announced like gospel truth.The door opened behind me. "Well well well. Look at you. Sitting in the dirt in your pretty dress." I didn't need to turn around to know it was Bianca."Go away," I said, my voice hoarse."Why would I do that? I've been waiting for this moment for months." Her heels clicked closer. She moved into my line of sight, arms crossed, that vicious smile still plastered on her face. "
CHAPTER 203VianneI rubbed my sweaty hands against the side of my dress as I stepped out of Levi’s car.Where was all the confidence I had five days ago when he had asked me to go to prom with him?Now all I felt was fear.Levi walked over to me. “We do not have to go in together. You head in with Diana first.”Diana walked up to me in her silver knee-length dress which accentuated all of her curves. “Shall we?”I glanced at Levi.I felt so bad for leaving him to go in with Diana.“It's fine. We have all night,” He mouthed.Diana and I headed into the school. We walked into the gymnasium which had been transformed into something I barely recognized.Paper lanterns hung from the ceiling in clusters of gold and cream, their soft light casting warm shadows across the polished floor. Someone had draped the basketball hoops in shimmering fabric that caught the light when people moved past.The DJ booth sat in the corner where the bleachers usually stood, bass already thumping through spea
CHAPTER 168VianneMy heart was beating like crazy. I wanted nothing more than for the ground to swallow me right now so I could disappear.Theo lowered his gaze and gripped the couch for support.Levi reached for my hands. “We are in love, Dad. We were going to…”Theo didn’t wait to hear the rest
CHAPTER 161LeviI finally found Troy’s Instagram page after hours of searching for it.I clicked on it.From the few pictures I saw of it, I picked that he worked as a bartender at a popular gay club down the street.The bell for the end of class rang.I sprang up.“You are always rushing off afte
CHAPTER 156LeviI skipped breakfast the next morning after grabbing all of the things needed for my plan.Theodore and I barely spoke at the party last night after the announcement.I was still pissed about how he appointed Briar as the operations manager.I parked my bike and sat through my class
CHAPTER 152LeviThere was no sign of Vianne in here.Where was she?Did she maybe go back into her room?The song changed into slow R&B music and guests walked to the dance floor with their partners.I felt a hand over my shoulder and tilted my head to see who it was.It was Darren.Ryan was right
