Someone has been stealing this book and publishing it on sites/apps, maybe on Facebook too? They're doing this without my permission and it has completely dampened my mood and lately I've not been as motivated to write any of my books because of this. But since I'm dedicated to seeing this through and not disappointing any of my lovely readers I'll continue. Nothing feels worst than seeing your hard work stolen from you and being profited on. Anyway, I never planned for this one to be long so expect it to finish by 20 to 30 more chapters?
♡ Mia's pov ♡Two and a half months.Two and a half months had gone by since Kade and I had begun dating. Things hadn't progressed much except, well for this.....'Ahh." I grumble then coughed as I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand.I sighed, my other hand gripping the side of the toilet bowl as I wrenched inside it again. My throat felt like acid and the bitter taste of vomit only led me to throw up another wave of vomit.I coughed, wincing as I clenched my eyes tightly."Mia hurry up in there I need to piss!" Austin yelled behind the door, banging it a little with his fists."In a second Austin!" I tried to yell back but my voice cracked and I sounded like an old lady who had smoked too many cigarettes her entire life and now lived with ten cats who piss on her bed.I flushed the toilet to rid the stench and sight of vomit and slowly rise to my feet. I staggered to the sink, opened the faucet, and washed my mouth.When I felt as though the taste hadn't really moved out of my m
♡ Mia's pov ♡I had an inkling it was just a stomach bug. I perhaps had eaten something bad. There was nothing to be concerned about.My thoughts had trapped me inside my head for a long while now as I aimlessly push books into my locker. I wasn't even sure if I was putting in the right books.My brain was that muddled.Sighing heavily I closed the locker."Er," I jolt when Brian's grinning face beamed at me."Sorry did I startle you?" Brian asked, leaning against the locker beside mine, his lips quirking into a smirk.No I just jolt for no reason."Um," I mumble and took a step back before fixing my own bag on my shoulder."No. I just wasn't expecting you to be.....here." I admitted.Brian and I weren't exactly close but I did try to answer his greetings when our paths crossed which they crossed a lot. He was after all Kade's friend and Colby had made it his mission to seat beside Kade. This led to us having to seat with Brian and wherever Brian goes, Brianna follows.I still remembe
♡ Mia's pov ♡I looked at her, feeling the blood drain from my face. She was the last person I'd ever want to see me like this.When did she even get in here?Was I spewing out my entire breakfast down the toilet so loudly that my ears failed to pick up on the sound of her footsteps which I was sure was loud given those heels she wore?I cleared my throat, willing to play this cool so she'd not suspect anything. "Ate something bad." I grimaced, walking out of the stall completely and strutting over to the pipe so I can wash my mouth and hopefully move that God awful taste of puke.Her eyes tear away from me, she digs her hand in her small purse and pulls out lipgloss. Looking back at me, she mumbles. " I don't care for your problems Mia and you don't have to explain to me why you were puking out your guts in there. It's not any of my business. "Rolling her eyes, she started applying her lipgloss.Well then. That was at least better than her acting like she cared and throwing question
♡ Mia's pov ♡ The door opens to my room and the light coming from my laptop floods the darkened hallway and lights up Kade's figure. He stood there, almost unsure if to enter. But as I fix myself to sit up upon his arrival, he walks in and closes the door behind him. He stared at me quietly, but in the depths of his eyes, I could see the questions racing through his head. He was worried about something. About me. His brows draw together and he takes a step forward. It was stiff and unsure. "Did I do something?" He said tightly with dread. His question completely catches me off guard. "What?" I whispered out in surprise. "Did I do something wrong Mia?" He rakes a hand through his hair and it's then I notice his rigid form. Whatever he was feeling at this moment, was eating inside of him, feeding on his calm emotions. I furrow my brows, lifting myself on my knees as the cover falls off my thighs. I reach over my laptop and pause the movie that was playing on the screen. It's d
Kade's pov "Don't stare at me," She whispered wiping the vomit dripping down her chin with her bony hand. Her fingers shook and the paleness in her complexion was very alarming.She clears her throat cringing. She must've taken the bitter taste of the vomit she just spewed out.She sags on the cold tiles, her knees underneath her weight. And as she bends over to rest her head on her arm on the toilet seat, her spine and ribs poke out visibly.I nearly wince but I had gotten used to the sight of her like this for a while now."Need some water?" I asked, leaning against the doorframe.She'd most likely decline my offer to help like she always did. Probably spur out harmful words that always fuck with my head too.But she was my mother and I couldn't for the life of me not try to help her."Just get the fuck out of here Kade. You don't need to see how much of a mess up I am. " She grumbles, gagging then coughs. It's loud and it shakes her whole body.This one must've been painful.Too
Kade's povThere are a few things racing through my mind right now and yet, not one eased me enough to keep my gaze connected with hers. They dropped to the counter.There's a heaviness in my gut and a lump in my throat that I swallowed. But swallowing somehow made it hurt and I realized that I was on the verge of a panic attack.I never had one, not since the morning after mom's death. That morning waking up to an empty house, with no gagging sounds or the stench of alcohol. That morning everything came slamming to me in full force.I remember not being able to breathe, with thoughts of my life turning just like hers. I remember gasping for air, my vision turning blurry as I fall to the floor, my knees slamming hard on the carpeted concrete.I remember gasping out for help, yet no one came. No one would. It was just me alone. Me without a mother or father. Me without anyone.I remember air not reaching into my lungs fast enough and then everything had gone black. Until I woke up to t
Kade's povMrs. Cross nods. " I can hear it in your voice and see it in your eyes. You remind me of Haiden when he was your age. Annoying that he was, he was special in his own way, just like you are special in your own way to Kade. And I hope you know that." I could hear it in her voice, she was hinting at something but didn't know how to just come out and say it. But then her next words completely take me off guard. "I heard when you called out your mother's name while you were thrashing in your sleep." She admitted. I drop my gaze in embarrassment. It had been a while since I had a nightmare about my life with my mother. I wasn't sure if I had ever called out her name before. Not that there were anyone around to tell me. "In the letter, Gwen mentioned about using drugs and...." She trailed not sure if to perhaps use the word prostitution. Sighing heavily she continues. " That must not have been the best life to grow up in. Did she do anything to you or force you to do anything
♡ Mia's pov ♡"Good morning mom," I said, my voice cracking through the air and reaching her ears.I yawned. I felt extremely tired for some odd reason even though I knew I had a good sleep.Mom turns around, fork in her hand and with eyes wide, almost as if she was somehow startled to hear my voice so early."Oh you're awake! How was your night? Heard a movie playing when your dad and I passed by your door." She smiles. "Anything good on the screen?"Mom usually asked about the movies I watch. It was her way of bonding and trying to know my interests. So it wasn't weird that she asked. It was just a little strange that her voice had a chirp of knowing. One that kind of made me look at her in suspicion.Walking further into the kitchen, I leaned against the counter as I replied to her. "Yeah, Jurassic World was really good."Well, it was the first thirty minutes or so, I somehow had dozed off halfway through. I didn't even know when Kade got up to leave to his room.I was bummed out t
