AARON’S POV

For a second, I genuinely didn’t know what to say.

I could still hear the gunshot in my head. I could still see the way people were screaming and running. I could still feel how small that storage room was, with Jay standing right in front of me.

None of those were things I could explain to Chloe without sounding insane. “I just got caught up somewhere,” I said finally.

Chloe stared at me for another second before looking away with a quiet sigh. She leaned back into the couch and fo

  • PAY TO BREAK ME   JEALOUSY

    AARON'S POVProfessor Rachelle's words refused to leave my head as I hurriedly left the classroom.“Spend at least five hours together.” “Interview one another.”“Visit at least one place together.” “Get to know who your partner really is.”I almost laughed.Get to know Jack? How exactly was I supposed to do that?This was so much worse than I'd first thought. At first, I had assumed it was just a normal assignment. We would split the work, write a report, present it, and move on.But no.This project was practically forcing us to become friends.How exactly was I supposed to get to know Jack Pierce?A guy who could look at me with genuine concern one moment, then act like I don't even exist the next. A guy who had once framed me for something I didn't do. A guy who had nearly cost me my scholarship. A guy I couldn't stop thinking about no matter how hard I tried.My fingers curled tightly around my bag straps.Every time I thought I had finally figured him out, he would do something

  • PAY TO BREAK ME   LET'S MEET

    JACK'S POVThe bell rang, cutting straight through Professor Rachelle's explanation.She glanced at the clock before setting the marker down."I'll stop here for today, but before you leave, let me remind you of what's expected." Her gaze swept across the classroom. "This isn't just another written assignment. Social Science is about understanding people, so over the course of this semester, you're going to understand the person assigned to be your project partner."She paused for a while, and began walking through the middle of the class. "Each pair is expected to spend at least five hours together outside school. You'll interview one another, visit at least one place together, and by the end of the semester, you'll present a project titled..." She smiled. "'Who My Partner Really Is.'""Your presentation won't be about your partner's favorite color or what they eat for breakfast. I want you to understand who they really are… their values, habits, goals, fears, strengths, weaknesses."

  • PAY TO BREAK ME   NO ESCAPE

    AARON'S POVPaired with Jack Pierce?No.My stomach dropped.Out of every single person Professor Rachelle could have paired me with...It had to be him?My pulse started hammering against my ribs.This couldn't be happening.Working with Jack as my project partner didn't mean sitting beside him for just one lecture.It meant weeks.Weeks of meetings. Weeks of conversations. Weeks of being close enough to smell his cologne, hear him laugh, watch him smile at other people while I stood there pretending none of it affected me.It meant trying to act normal around the one person who turned my brain into mush every single time he looked at me.No.I couldn't do that.I had barely survived sitting beside him for the last twenty minutes. I couldn't even pick up a stupid textbook without embarrassing myself.My face burned every time our eyes met.I had walked into a locker because I had been staring at him.I had cut my hand because I had been distracted by him.And somehow, I still couldn'

  • PAY TO BREAK ME   UNEXPECTED PAIR

    JACK'S POVEvery step Aaron took toward my desk looked reluctant. His shoulders were stiff, and his grip tightened around the strap of his bag.The professor had already gone back to writing across the whiteboard by the time he reached my row.He stopped beside the empty chair, glanced at me once, then quietly pulled it out.He sat down carefully, leaving as much space between us as the chair would allow, his bag resting awkwardly on his lap before he finally placed it on the floor.The little towel-wrapped ice pack was still in his hand. Without thinking, my eyes drifted to the bandage taped across his forehead.Then, I recalled how he had walked into that locker.Earlier, he had said it didn't hurt much but I could tell he was lying.Aaron looked up and our eyes met for a brief moment. Almost immediately, he turned his face toward the front of the class, pretending to be deeply interested in whatever the professor was explaining.I did the same too."Open your textbooks to page fort

  • PAY TO BREAK ME   EMPTY SEAT

    AARON'S POVHis hand stopped midway, like he had suddenly realized what he wanted to do. He let his hands fall back to his side.“It's… it's swelling already.” He murmured instead, gaze fixed on the sore spot.I swallowed hard.Did he see me walk into that locker? Fuck.How did he know I had an injury? My hair covered it slightly so it wasn't really noticeable. He definitely saw me walk into that locker.My knees nearly buckled.“Yeah.” I forced out, my voice low. “I know.”Another silence settled between us."I was heading to the clinic anyway," I added, awkwardly rubbing the sore spot again. "Before it gets worse."Jack glanced at my forehead once more before giving a small nod. "Good."I couldn't help wondering why he was standing here with me in the first place.Wasn't he supposed to be with that girl?The new girl. The same girl everyone had assumed was his date.My chest tightened.I shifted my bag higher on my shoulder. "So..." I cleared my throat. "I should go."He nodded si

  • PAY TO BREAK ME   GENTLE REACH

    AARON'S POVThe moment our fingers touched, I pulled my hand back quickly.I didn't even think.My body reacted before my brain could catch up.For half a second, the room seemed to disappear. There was only the warmth that had brushed against my skin and the stupid way my heart lurched because of something so small.It was ridiculous.I snatched the pen from the floor without looking at him and forced myself upright.Don't look at him.Just don't.I stared so hard at my answer sheet that the words blurred together.What was the question again?Something about...Shit.I had no idea.I swallowed, blinking several times before reading the sentence again.Still nothing.My brain refused to cooperate."Focus, Mr. Smithy." Professor Robin's voice cut through the silence.I looked up so quickly my neck almost cracked. "Huh?"He sighed dramatically from the front of the room."I mean..." He tapped his own paper with his pen. "Your test is in front of you. Not beside you."Heat flooded my fa

  • PAY TO BREAK ME   A CURIOUS THING II

    Jack's Pov.Aaron was trembling in my hands from fear. His eyes were blown wide, his lips shaking.God, his lips. He would tremble in my arms at the club for a different reason too.What the fuck am I thinking?His eyes glanced around, like a mouse in a trap. He probably didn’t expect to find himse

  • PAY TO BREAK ME   A CURIOUS THING I

    Jack's Pov.I sighed, increasing the volume of the music from my phone to drown out the rising voices.The company’s downfall hadn't been easy on my parents. Ever since the unfortunate day that we found that we'd lost everything, I'd oftentimes woken up to hear them bickering. It was getting worse

  • PAY TO BREAK ME   DATE WITH DESTRUCTION

    Aaron’s PovI rushed in, speeding through the living room, up the stairs all the way to my room. I took a quick shower to wash off the muck from my body, changed and flew back downstairs.I had a date with Jack’s downfall.I sighed. A date. I want a date with Jay. How many times will I see him befo

  • PAY TO BREAK ME   DISAPPOINTED

    Aaron’s povJack paused, tilting his head in an impatient gesture. His hands did not loosen and I swallowed nervously. “I uh, I've never… don't this before.”He was silent, then he leaned down. “Watch your teeth,” he growled and guided his dick into my mouth.Immediately he entered my mouth, the ta
