~RHEA~

I pursed my lips as I stared at him.

I didn't want to assume, I didn't want to guess what his words meant. Assuming has gotten me this far in life and has made me make bad decisions.

I didn't want to do it anymore. Not with him.

“Just tell me” I urged when he didn't say anything. Instead, His lips curved into a smile as he stared at me with amusement in his eyes.

“What's funny?” I said with a frown, and he chuckled before reaching forward to pinch my cheeks slightly.

    ~RHEA~Zander had barely driven for ten minutes before I started giving him directions.“Turn left at the next junction.”He glanced at me. “Are you sure?”“Yes.”“You said that five minutes ago, and we ended up in front of a bakery.”“Because you missed the turning.”“I didn’t miss anything. You were too busy eating the pastry you bought to notice we were going the wrong way.”I gasped. “I was giving you directions!”“You were giving me directions with your mouth full.”I laughed, reaching over to give his arm a playful slap. He caught my hand and brought it to his lips, pressing a kiss against my knuckles before returning his attention to the road.“You’re very distracting, Ladybug.”“Then perhaps you shouldn’t have offered to drive.”“And miss spending the day with my favourite girl? Never.”I rolled my eyes, but I couldn’t stop smiling.It felt good being with him like this. No arguments, no secrets hanging between us, no pretending we didn’t miss each other. Just the two of us, d

    ~HEATHER~The moment the front door closed behind Rhea and Zander, my smile disappeared.I let out a long sigh and leaned against the wall, watching the door for a few seconds before pulling out my phone.I had messages waiting for me.Kai had sent several, asking how I was doing, whether I had eaten, and if I needed anything. There was even a message telling me to call him whenever I felt like talking.Mason, on the other hand, had barely said anything.I scrolled through our conversation, reading his last few messages again. They weren’t particularly cold, but they weren’t exactly reassuring either.The person I wanted to worry about me the most didn’t seem particularly worried at all.And yes, I knew Mason wasn’t my boyfriend. I had no right to expect him to act like one, but that didn’t stop me from wondering why he hadn’t come with Zander. If he cared about me as much as he claimed, wouldn’t he have wanted to see me?I locked my phone and ran my fingers through my hair.God, I wa

    ~RHEA~We stayed in bed longer than either of us intended, stealing kisses whenever one of us tried to get up. At some point, Zander decided that my face was apparently the most interesting thing in the world because he wouldn’t stop kissing my cheeks, nose and forehead.“Are you going to let me go at some point?” I asked, laughing as he pulled me back against him for another kiss.“I’m considering it.”“Zander!”“What? I’ve barely seen you in days. I have some catching up to do.”I shook my head, smiling as I finally managed to climb out of bed. “Come on. I want to show you around town.”He sat up, watching me with an amused expression. “You’re taking me on a date?”“I’m showing you around.”“Sounds like a date to me.”“Then you can stay here.”He immediately got out of bed. “Lead the way, Ladybug.”I laughed as I reached for my phone, then glanced at him while he straightened his shirt.“By the way, how did you even find me?”He looked up. “What do you mean?”“I mean, how did you kn

    ~RHEA~I took a deep breath, trying to figure out where to begin.“I didn’t hate you because I knew you, Zander. I hated you because of what I had heard about you.”He raised an eyebrow but remained quiet, allowing me to continue.“Back in school, everyone had something to say about you. There were rumours about the girls you dated, the fights you got into, the parties you attended and all the trouble you supposedly caused. And then there was Lyra.”“Your sister?”I nodded. “She was completely in love with you. She talked about you all the time, and I couldn’t understand it. I couldn’t understand why she would like someone who, according to everyone, was such a terrible person. I thought she deserved better.”He shifted slightly, watching me.“So, one day, our teacher asked us to write an article about something we were passionate about. Something we felt strongly about. I chose you.”His lips twitched.“Lucky me.”I gave him a small smile before continuing.“I poured everything into

    ~ZANDER~For a moment, neither of us moved.I stood by the doorway, taking her in as though I needed to convince myself she was actually standing in front of me. I had spent the last few days searching for her, calling her, and wondering whether she was safe. Even after finding out what Chase had done to her, I hadn’t been able to settle until I saw her with my own eyes.Now she was right there.Her eyes were still a little swollen, and I could tell she had been crying, but there was something different about her. She looked lighter somehow, as though a weight she had been carrying for a long time had finally been lifted. I didn’t know what had happened since she left campus, but I was glad to see even the smallest hint of peace on her face.She was still staring at me, her lips slightly parted.I raised an eyebrow. “Are you not going to give me a hug?”Her expression wavered.“Don’t act like you didn’t miss me, Ladybug. I’ve been standing here long enough.”That did it. Her face crum

    ~RHEA~“So, when are you planning to go back?”I paused with my fork halfway to my mouth and looked across the breakfast table at my father.“Wow. I’m barely here for a few days, and you’re already trying to get rid of me?”He chuckled, shaking his head as he reached for his coffee. “That’s not what I said.”“Sounded like it to me.”“I’m just worried about you, sweetheart. I know exams are coming up, and I don’t want everything that’s happened to affect your schoolwork.”I leaned back in my chair with a dramatic sigh. “Dad, let’s be honest. I’m not going to pass those exams anyway.”“Rhea.”“What? I’m only being realistic.”Heather snorted beside me, nearly choking on her juice. My father gave me a disapproving look, but I caught the smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.“I’m serious,” he said. “You can’t keep putting your life on hold because of everything that’s happened. I don’t want you throwing that away.”“I know, Dad.”And I did.Surprisingly, after confronting my mother, I

    ~RHEA~ “He left you on the curb?” Heather screeched, horrified, as she led me up to her room.I had called her earlier and she had immediately given me the location of her dorm and luckily, she had taken my luggage with her.“Technically, I got out of his car and he can't exactly force me” I mut

    ~RHEA~ Girlfriend?“Girlfriend?” Heather, Chase and Sienna echoed as they stared at me like I knew a fuck about what was going on.The murmurs began as everyone in the crowd stared at us with wide eyes and I could see the questions in their eyes but they seemed too scared to speak.Before I could

    ~RHEA~ I had blacked out from that day.The last thing I remembered after running out of the stadium was calling my dad while hysterically crying.It wasn't the silent tears I had grown accustomed to, it was ugly and bitter. The kind that clawed its way out my chest until breathing itself hurt.

    ~RHEA~ “You know how much I want you, Rhea. You know how much I want to fuck you” Chase murmured as he pressed me up against the wall, sliding his fingers down my thigh.“Tell me what you want” He whispered into my ear and my heart slammed rationally against my ribcage as I stared up at him.“I
