My Bully Next Door Chapter 13
EllaDinner feels… normal.Which is weird.I sit at the table between Mason and Mrs. Cross, listening as she talks about one of her charity events, her voice light and easy like this is just another regular night.“…and if it’s not the fundraiser, then it’s the shelter. I swear I spend more time with abandoned dogs than I do with my own family.”Mason immediately perks up. “Can we get another dog?”“We already have one,” she reminds him.“But I want a baby one.”I smile, glancing down at him. “You’d name it something ridiculous.”“I would not,” he argues, offended. “I’d name it Rex.”“Of course you would.”He grins like that’s the best idea he’s ever had.Across the table, Beckett is quiet.Too quiet.He’s not really eating, just pushing food around his plate like he’s somewhere else entirely.And he’s not looking at me.Which—I notice.Even though I pretend I don’t.“Mom,” he says suddenly, cutting into her story, “if we win tomorrow, can we have people over?”There it is.She gives
My Bully Next Door Chapter 12
EllaI stand at the edge of Beckett Cross’s driveway with my suitcase in my hand—And seriously consider turning around.“This is fine,” I mutter.It doesn’t feel fine.It feels like I’m voluntarily walking into enemy territory.Lila bumps her shoulder into mine. “You look like you’re about to face a firing squad.”“Feels accurate.”She grins. “You’ll be fine.”“That’s what people say right before things go horribly wrong.”She laughs, but her expression softens a little. “Text me if you need to vent. Or escape. Or fake your own disappearance.”I huff out a small laugh. “Tempting.”“Hey,” she adds, more serious now. “Don’t let them shrink you.”My chest tightens slightly.“I won’t,” I say.And this time—I actually try to mean it.⸻The house looks the same as it always has.Big. Perfect. Untouchable.I’ve seen it my whole life.But standing here like this—About to walk in as someone staying here—Feels completely different.I ring the doorbell before I can overthink it.A few second
My Bully Next Door Chapter 11
BeckettI’m not looking forward to tonight.Not even a little.I lean back against my locker, staring down the hallway like it personally offended me.Two weeks.Two weeks of Ella James in my house.I exhale slowly, dragging a hand through my hair.“This is ridiculous,” I mutter under my breath.“What is?”Sean appears beside me like he always does—too observant for his own good, already smirking like he’s hoping for something entertaining.“Nothing,” I say automatically.“Yeah, okay,” he snorts. “You’ve been in a mood since you got here.”I shrug it off. “Just tired.”That’s the easiest lie.Always is.Because I’m not about to tell him the truth.Not about my dad asking—no, telling—me that Ella’s staying with us.Not about how my mom already has the guest room set up.Not about how there is absolutely no way to spin this that doesn’t make me look like a joke.“Yo, you coming?” one of the guys calls from down the hall.“In a second,” I answer.Sean doesn’t move.Of course he doesn’t.
My Bully Next Door Chapter 10
EllaBy the time school lets out, my stomach is in knots.Not normal nerves.Worse.The kind that makes everything feel too tight—my chest, my thoughts, even my skin.Tonight is the makeover.Tonight I actually have to sit in a chair and let someone change something about me on purpose.I grip the straps of my backpack as I walk toward my locker.I can still back out.I can text Lila and say I’m sick.Or tired.Or—“Don’t even think about it.”I jump slightly as Lila appears beside me like she’s been waiting.“I wasn’t—”“You were,” she cuts in, smiling. “Your face does this thing when you’re about to run away.”I sigh, shutting my locker. “I don’t like this.”“That’s the point.”“That’s not comforting.”She loops her arm through mine anyway. “Mateo’s expecting us. And before you say it—you promised.”I hesitate.Because I did.And for some reason…that matters.“Okay,” I mutter.“That’s my girl.”⸻The salon is nothing like I expected.It’s not overwhelming or loud like the few places
My Bully Next Door Chapter 9
EllaI don’t sleep.Not really.I close my eyes.I try.But my brain won’t shut off.Every time I get close, something drags me back under.Beckett at my window.His face when I said no.The way he just stood there yesterday morning.And now—Two weeks.Two weeks of him.Two weeks of pretending.Two weeks of not having anywhere to go to get away.I groan softly into my pillow and roll onto my back, staring up at the ceiling.“This is a terrible idea,” I whisper.Like saying it out loud might somehow change it.It doesn’t.It just makes it feel more real.I reach for my phone on my nightstand and unlock it.A message pops up immediately.Lila: Did you survive?I huff out a quiet laugh.Barely.Ella: Define surviveThe typing bubble appears instantly.Lila: That bad??I hesitate.Because I don’t even know how to explain it.How do you explain that the person who makes your life miserable is now unavoidable?That the one person you wish you could ignore—Is about to be everywhere?Ella:
My Bully Next Door Chapter 8
BeckettShe closed the window in my face.I stand there for a second longer than I should.Just… staring at the glass.Like maybe it’ll open again.Like maybe she’ll take it back.She doesn’t.The curtain shifts slightly.Then stillness.And that’s it.I let out a slow breath, dragging a hand down my face.“Seriously?”The word comes out under my breath, more to myself than anything.Because that—That wasn’t supposed to happen.Ella James isn’t supposed to say no.Not to me.Not like that.Not with that look in her eyes like she meant every word.I step back from the window, shaking my head once, trying to reset.This is stupid.It’s not a big deal.I needed help.She said no.End of story.Except—It’s not.Because that’s not how this works.People don’t just shut me down like that.They don’t push back.They don’t—challenge me.And she did.Twice now.Once in the hallway.And now—this.My jaw tightens.“She doesn’t get it,” I mutter.But even as I say it—I know that’s not true.
