Chapter 25:
Lyric’s P.O.V
“Holy shit!” I blinked at my reflection at the mirror. “I like Lydia McKenzie!”
The realization wasn’t what had me stunned, but it was the fact that it had taken so long for me to realize it, that was what surprised me most.
Lydia was an astounding woman. She was beautiful and not just on the outside, but she was a kind hearted and compassionate person. She was also the person who gave me comfort. Just being around her was enough for me to feel better, feel…refreshed. She makes me want to be a better version of myself, a better person who she can be proud of.
A knock on the door sounded then and I fixed the buttons on my tux before opening the door to my room.
“Stephen?” I raised my eyebrows at him as I moved aside to let him enter.
“Here,” he held out his hand with a box in it. “Dad send it for you. It&

Lydia’s P.O.V“You look pale” Lyric said as he plopped down on the seat next to me, handing me the glass of water he had gone to fetch.It was very late at night, close to 2 AM and the guests had mostly left for their homes except for Stephen and Ivy’s closest friends who had decided to party all night in honor of their best friends getting engaged. I’d managed to stay away from most people’s ways so I could avoid questions and I’d stuck mostly to Stephen’s friends who knew my condition. They didn’t show much curiosity except for the fact that I had a date. Lyric hadn’t moved from my side all night except maybe to get drinks for us, non-alcoholic for me, and stuff me to the brim with food. Honestly, with how much Lyric had been feeding me, I was afraid I was going to explode. Aside from that, everything had been perfect…well, if Stephen stopped glaring Lyri

Lydia’s P.O.VSomeone was sleeping beside me.That was the first thought I had as soon as I woke up to the warmth of someone’s body and their arms around me.But when I opened my eyes, all I saw was darkness.Panic started to set in as I brought my fingers closer to my face and touched my eyelids to make sure that my eyes were indeed open. They were, but I couldn’t see anything.The bullet was pressing on my optic nerve.Removing the arm from around my waist, I sat up in bed rapidly while searching around with my hands to remember where I was. Thankfully, I still had clothes on, that means whoever I was with, didn’t do anything to me last night. I was trying to keep my panic at bay, but my movements were jerky, alarmed.And then I felt movement beside me along with the rustling of the sheets.“Lydia?” I heard Lyric’s soft voice and relief washed over me immediately. &ld

Lydia’s P.O.V“All packed up?” Ivy asked as she handed me another dress that my mother had bought for me to take to Rosewater.“Almost…I think.” I sighed. “I came with one bag and I’m leaving with three.”Ivy gave out a short laugh. “I’m glad you came though. I would’ve felt lonely without you.”“I’m glad I came too.”“So…how are thinks with Lyric? I noticed a bit of tension between the two of you this morning.” Ivy asked curiously. “Everything alright?”I sighed and tossed aside the dress I was folding. “Lyric wants me to become his girlfriend.”“Really?” Ivy gasped in excitement and hurried over to sit in front of me. “When did that happen? You know what, forget it! What did you tell him? Are you guys a couple now?”“Ivy!” I snapped, st

Lydia’s P.O.VI got up from my seat as the bell rang, signaling the end of class. I had another class today but that was about an hour later. Maybe I would go grab an early lunch?As I was about to exit the classroom, someone stopped me by calling out my name. Turning towards the sound of the voice, I found a boy running to catch up to me. He was around five feet nine in height with sandy blonde hair and light green eyes with a lean athletic build. He handed me a piece of paper as he came to a stop in front of me.“Hi,” he panted. “I’m Ethan Stonewall. You might not know me but we’re in the same class.”“Hi, Ethan.” I tilted my head to the side. “I’m Lydia McKenzie.”“I know…,” Ethan scratched the back of his head awkwardly. “We’re partners in Psychology 2. The teacher paired us together for the project that is due next week. This

Lyric’s P.O.V“What the fuck is wrong with you?” Were my brother’s opening words as soon as he wheeled into the house and found me in the kitchen as I was putting away some used plates into the sink.“What do you mean?” I asked, clearly confused.Derek seemed to be in an awful mood and whatever that happened, things didn’t end well for the both of us. But what could possibly be his problem now? I won today’s match fair and square! Damnit! I could already feel a headache coming on.“You’ve been unfocused!” Derek snapped. “It’s like you’ve lost all purpose in life and you’re just endlessly roaming around inside that ring! What the fuck is wrong with you?”“I won the bloody match, Derek!” I snapped back at him. “I lost focus for a few seconds because the bastard hit pretty close to my ear. But I got back up and beat him in

Lydia’s P.O.V“I’m crashing here tonight.”That was all the explanation I got as Lyric shoved past me into my apartment with an overnight bag in hand, leaving me very confused, awkward and surprised.“Excuse me?” I turned to face him once I had closed and locked my door. “What exactly do you mean by ‘I’m crashing here tonight’?”“It means exactly what I said,” Lyric threw the bag in one corner and plopped down on my couch. “Look, it’s just for tonight. I’ll get a hotel room or something tomorrow and then you’ll be free of me.”“You have a house.” I pointed out as I crossed my arms across my chest.“Yes, one that is very unwelcoming at the moment.” He sighed and rubbed his hands over his eyes. “Come on, Lydia, it’s not like I haven’t been here before or spent the night.”

Lydia’s P.O.VI moved away from Lyric a few seconds later, unable to keep the contact but when I went to remove my hand from his nape, he caught it in his own large ones.“You know I’m here for you too, right?” He spoke softly.“What do you mean?” I asked, but a sense of dread settled in my stomach, clawing out the tenderness from the earlier moment.“Being brain damaged doesn’t mean that you have to refrain yourself from everything life has to offer,” Lyric tilted his head to the side, studying me with those intense eyes of him that often tended to make me nervous. “You avoid physical contact like it’s the plague. Or is it just with me?”I felt my breath catch in my throat. Did he really figure it out? But even if he hadn’t yet, I think he just did because his eyes widened slightly before he told me accusingly, “It is just me, isn’t it!&rdquo
The Bad Boy's First Love Chapter 33
Lyric’s P.O.VI woke up to the sound of birds chirping in the distance.The morning air was chilly and the bed I was in wasn’t mine but there was no mistaking who I was sleeping next to. I’d recognize her even if I went blind. Lydia was my breath of fresh air; she was my salvation, my home.It didn’t matter what my brother tells my parents about her, I’d gladly leave it all behind for Lydia. And I don’t think Derek would get away with his emotional blackmail this time, because I just remembered that Lydia’s father knew my dad and once dad found out exactly who Lydia was, he’d never take Derek’s side.Lydia stirred in her sleep and I grew quiet next to her, closing my eyes so she wouldn’t find me watching her. I didn’t want to run in the opposite direction even before our relationship began.A few moments later, I felt her moving around a bit before she removed my han
