My head is in too much pain to come to any clear conclusion. I need a fucking pain pill! My arm is burning. My ribs hurt when I breathe. My stitches itch. All I want is for Luke to come get me and pull me back in his arms while he holds me so I can go back to sleep.

I don't think that will be happening anytime soon, though. Not unless Luke suddenly knows exactly where I am. And how the hell would he do that? Maybe he's out there right now looking for me? Maybe he called the cops. Maybe he calle

  • My New Boss Is My Brother's Best Friend   Frustrations

    Chelsea's POVI'm so frustrated right now. I race to my car and start up the engine. I can see Evan's frustrated face as he watches me ditch him for a sweet little girl he hasn't even asked me about.Actually, the only thing he asked me about was my classes, then he proceeded to rant about his own classes and didn't bother asking me what I've been doing for the past six months since we broke up. I guess my life isn't very important to him.I'm not frustrated with Hunter or the situation. I understand how things happen unexpectedly. I know he wouldn't have called me if he really didn't need to. And I could hear his guilt through the phone.I'm frustrated that while I was on my date with Evan all I could think about was Hunter. I'd even inadvertently compared the two of them. I'm frustrated that my date was once again all about him and I'm more than happy for the small escape from my ex.I guess there really was a reason people say when you break up, just cut them loose. I know there ar

  • My New Boss Is My Brother's Best Friend   Interruptions

    I forgot Evan always complained that grown-ups don't drink pure sugar. I'd like to disagree with him on that fact. I've got a sweet tooth, and I'm not ashamed of it.Evan ignores my actions and just focuses on me. "How are your classes going?" Evan's in finance and business, and everything is always laser focused on academics, and when he graduates, I'm sure he'll show the same amount of focus to his career.I guess that's a good thing, but it doesn't leave a lot of room for other focuses, like life, family, friends... really anything but work. I'm not built that way. I need relationships and interactions with people."It's fine. Classes are going well," I shrug because what else can I say? They are going well, if I can keep myself from crashing. It's a lot of work, and I'm almost finished. I just have to make it a little longer and I'll be done. "You?" I ask, even though I know I'll be sitting here for 10 minutes before he's done discussing one of his classes.And I'm right. He start

  • My New Boss Is My Brother's Best Friend   Decisions

    Chelsea's POVSandy gave me the weekend off. I appreciate it more than she knows. I don't know if I can handle being around Hunter when I feel so damn guilty about the whole jealousy thing.I just need a day or two to clear my head, then I can get back to work. Then I can purge all feeling and crazy ideas out of my head. They won't do me any good anyway. The last time Hunter looked at me, it made me sad for some reason.It might have something to do with the fact I've been giving him the cold shoulder and he doesn't know why. And yes, that's my fault. I should just grow up and talk to him. I just don't know how to.I'm supposed to be meeting Evan in an hour, and I still don't know what to wear. I've thrown all my clothes onto my bed, and nothing feels right. I don't have a whole helluva lot of clothes, but he's... picky.I'm not even sure why I'm trying to make a good impression. Evan comes from a rich background, but we dated for months and it never seemed to matter to him that I was

  • My New Boss Is My Brother's Best Friend   Texting Fallon

    "It's nothing, Mr. Campbell. I'm just tired. I haven't had a lot of sleep lately," I state, shrugging my shoulders, like it's not a big deal. Like this is definitely the real reason I'm brushing him off instead of confronting the problem like a fucking adult."Oh, well... Okay. Have a good evening, Chelsea," he mumbles as he retreats. Why does he have to sound like I kicked his fucking puppy? And why is it breaking my heart right now? None of this is supposed to be happening!I don't let the tears fall down my face. Maybe I'm just PMS-ing. That has to be it! And if I'm not, I'm swearing on it to my dying breath.For the rest of the week, I try to avoid Hunter. I can't look at his face without wanting to break down and cry. I don't even know why! Everything he sees me, he's got this broken look on his face, and I have to turn away from him.The thing is the rest of the week he hasn't shown up with lipstick on his collar or that awful perfume. Maybe he figured out that was the reason I'

  • My New Boss Is My Brother's Best Friend   Avoidance

    Chelsea's POVI don’t know why the hell I’m suddenly feeling jealous, or why I’m even making it any of my business. It’s not! If he wants to go... well, whatever he was doing, then it’s his business.But I can't stop that small spark of fire deep in my heart. It's burning deep in my gut. Someone else was with him all afternoon while I was wondering where he was. When I was taking care of Tinsley... Because it's my job.That's why I'm here. For Tinsley. Not for Hunter. I need to lock it down before I burn up. I step away from him, involuntarily, like I'm scared he might reach out and grab me.“Chelsea,” his voice comes out strained and soft. He looks at me like... I don’t know. But it’s just... way too soft for what I’m feeling right now.If Fallon thought Evan was going to break my heart, then she’s got it wrong. It will be Hunter, and it won’t even be his fault. He's a grown man and has no attachment to me. He's free to come and go as he pleases and see any woman he wants.“Have a go

  • My New Boss Is My Brother's Best Friend   Missing Him

    It's nice that he remembered I have a test next class, but I don't know if he also remembers he is the reason I haven't been able to study for it. I actually should be terrified for it, but in all honesty, I'm too damn tired to care right now.Me: Thanks.Evan: We still up for this weekend? I'm really looking forward to seeing you.That made me smile... Just a little bit.Me: Yes. I've got the weekend off.I probably shouldn't have told him that. Now he's going to assume I got it all off just for him. And I didn't. I'm going to be needing some time this weekend to study since I haven't been lately.I really hate the fact that I feel like I'm starting to slack off right at the end. I want to keep the momentum up, but I'm just so tired...Fallon gives my phone a suspicious look but sighs. "Okay, just be careful this time?" She pleads. "I know what he did to you last time. I know how it hurt you, even if you refused to talk about it!""I will," I promise reaching out and giving her hand

    Sam's POVBeep... Beep... Beep...Really? Again? How many damn times am I going to have to wake up to that stupid beeping. Or is this just going to be a damn reoccurring nightmare? Because I hate hospitals! And I swear I've been to one three times since I came back to New York!I swear I'm jinxed! I

    “I don’t give a damn, Sammy! Since you’ve been with him all he’s done is put you in danger! I’m going to keep you safe!” he'd argued. Which was complete bullshit!And then he fucking took her from me! My heart tightened and I lost my breath as I watched him pull her away from me. I wanted to reach
