Daniel

It had been a seriously rough day. The whole school felt like it was closing in on me, like everyone and everything were just waiting for me to crack because of the mess I'd gotten myself into. I couldn't stop thinking about Jacob and how he’d disappeared from that hallway.

He was acting like nothing had happened when, for me, everything had changed. The whispers and stares had gone through the roof since that morning, and somehow, I didn’t know what it was all about.

The only thing I knew was that the whispers and the rumors weren’t just about Jake. They were about me, too. Even though most kids didn’t know about Jake and me, a handful of students knew.

They’d seen us talking a couple of times in the hallway, the classroom too.

But the rumors weren’t about my relationship with Jake, it was about something else. Something more serious. Tim had told me Jacob tried to do something crazy, but Jake had walked in before he could finish it.

  • Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy   Chapter 68

    JacobAfter that night, with the weird figure staring at my window, I figured it was time to go back home for a while.Back to New York. To the very place where I’d been broken and tossed aside like nothing. The place I’d fallen in love with the most cruel bastard the world had ever birthed. The place that gave me endless nightmares. But if the people who’d hurt me, were here in this very small city, where I’d hidden away, then there was nowhere I could possibly hide that they would never find me.So the only thing I could think of doing was going back home, to Uncle Jack… and Kenny. I needed to be close to family, to think and know my next move. Because there was no way I was going back to that place again. Never. Uncle Jack was very happy to see me, and he didn’t ask questions about where I’d been and why. Though I hadn’t planned to stay long, I was glad Kenny was not home. A pain in the ass like Kenny was the last thing I needed anyway. I took that time and pieced myself to

  • Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy   Chapter 67

    JacobWeeks came and went. Daniel and I didn’t speak to each other… not once.And it was finally the day of graduation.I disappeared as soon as I got my diploma. The instant my name echoed and my feet hit the stage, I knew this was goodbye. No lingering, no embraces, no fake smiles.I didn't bother with goodbyes. I left them all behind… My friend, Will, and his whispers and advices. Daniel with his insatiable hunger, Mr. Richard, who I didn’t see again, after the hotel, the monster who not only took advantage of my innocence but broke every part of me.I left town on a whim, with what little cash I had. No looking back. I needed some time away from the familiar faces. Kenny… Uncle Jack. The school, the faces, the memories… were ghosts of a nightmare I wanted so badly to bury. And shockingly, no one came searching. As if they all knew this would happen.Uncle Jack only called once, and when I didn’t pick up, he didn’t call again. He loved me, no doubt about that, and h worried abo

  • Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy   Chapter 66

    JacobTrusting Daniel seemed like something only a fool would do now. It was like a fucking joke, how effortlessly I had allowed him back into my life when I had the chance to get away from him.I ignored every warning sign screaming at me to keep my distance. But something about him kept pulling me in. He had a way of wrapping his toxin in warmth and presenting it as something beautiful.I had deluded myself into thinking I’d learned my lesson, and being with him was the right thing. Yet here I was, painfully wrong.This weakness for him had probably started from the moment he made me feel special. Perhaps it was that night when I’d gone to his room, after refusing his proposal. Or maybe it was the look of disappointment in his eyes afterward as if he didn’t expect me to come. It had been a relentless force, regardless of when it began.Betrayal should have been a deal-breaker. It was for anyone else. But Daniel wasn’t just anyone. He had seen past the facade, the calmness, the perfe

  • Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy   Chapter 65

    DanielGraduation day came in the twinkle of an eye. I wasn’t prepared, and I was sure no one was. One second, I was in the principal’s office getting told i was lucky to be graduating at all, and the next, I’m in a sea of green gowns, waiting to get that piece of paper that suddenly felt like it was made of lead. And it was because of all the hard work and the things I gave up to get here.The things we all gave up to be here. I’d dreaded this day, the many nights I’d had to sleep alone in my room, without him. Weeks of not talking to him, and yet it felt like months. My dad didn’t show up for my graduation. That was no surprise at all. He was never around for the real moments, the moments I needed him… wanted him to be there, just the ones where he could show off his powers, ones where he would come talk me down, yell at me, tell me how much of a disappointment I was to him and his stupid empire. But my mom came, and so did Sarah. She had this look in her eye like she was afr

    DanielIt was a long weekend, and I was back.The school was hopping with the usual chit-chat and laughter in the halls. Kids were shuffling into class, catching up with friends, and exchanging weekend stories.The place was full of chattering, and I just leaned against my locker, trying to ignore it all. I couldn't get my head around the weekend's drama, especially the stuff with Jacob. I thought I had things figured out, but I couldn’t be more wrong. It had been one wild ride. After what happened at the hotel, I had no idea how to face Jacob. The things I said to him were pretty harsh, and the situation we were in was a total mess. The things we did… the things I did.He'd been giving me the cold shoulder since he bolted on Friday night. I had called, but he wasn't picking up. Texted, but he’d totally blown me off. Maybe I didn't try hard enough. Maybe I was still too mad at everything… especially at myself. Now, I was here trying to focus on school, like nothing happened, but
