Cold, abandoned and betrayed

Emery's point of view I spent three hours waiting in the snow for a boy who was too busy sleeping with my best friend to remember I existed. If I had known, I would’ve stopped praying he wasn’t dead.11:47 p.m and I was still standing outside Bean Street Café with snow falling on my eyelashes, staring at Allen’s unread messages like they might suddenly turn into an explanation that didn’t hurt.I texted him one last time, my fingers trembling from the cold. Are you okay?The message was delivered instantly, but no reply came.The thought that something bad had happened to him made my chest tight with fear. My tricycle had broken down three days ago, and he was the one who insisted on picking me up after work tonight.“I’ll be there before your cafe closes,” he’d said this morning while pulling me into his arms outside school. I swallowed hard, my eyes looked at my phone blinking red; the low battery sign flashed like a deadly warning and I finally gave up waiting.The cold had alread

My worst nightmare

Emery's point of view The horrifying thing about betrayal is that sometimes the people ruining your life are still smiling at you while they do it.“Good morning, bestie!” Jenna’s voice sliced through the noisy school hallway as she rushed toward me holding out a steaming cup of coffee with the same bright smile she’d worn since we were six years old.The sight of her made my stomach turn violently, I stared at the cup; Vanilla latte, extra foam, exactly how I liked it.My fingers twitched at my sides because for years, this girl knew everything about me, my favorite songs, my worst fears, the way I cried silently whenever life hurt too much.I hadn’t even formed the best reply when another familiar body suddenly wrapped around me from behind. “Hey, love.”Allen pulled me straight into his chest like nothing had changed, his warm hands slid around my waist naturally while students passed around us laughing and talking, completely unaware my entire world was rotting from the inside ou

Living with the devil

Emery's point of view By Monday morning, I was one humiliation away from completely losing my mind. The hockey arena roared so loudly the walls practically vibrated.“Xavier! Xavier! Xavier!” Girls screamed his name from the bleachers while the hockey team dominated the ice like they owned the entire damn school, which technically, they probably did.Blackridge Academy worshipped rich boys with pretty faces and violent tempers, and Xavier Vaughn was their favorite monster.I tightened my skates silently near the practice zone, trying to ignore the noise while figure skaters warmed up around me. The second Xavier slammed another player against the rink boards, the crowd exploded again.God, they treated cruelty like entertainment. My eyes drifted toward him before I could stop them.He moved across the ice like he was born for destruction, then his gaze suddenly snapped toward me, the smirk on his face vanished instantly, replaced by intense coldness. A chill crawled through me, I lo

The smirk if a female demon

Emery's point of view The way Xavier looked at me after I asked why he hated me made my stomach turn colder than fear ever could.His grip loosened abruptly, like he suddenly regretted touching me at all.“Get out,” he said flatly.I stared at him.“You dragged me against a wall just to say that?”Gray fury flashed through his eyes instantly. “Don’t push your luck, Emery.”I yanked my wrist free angrily. “You know what? Fine. Keep your weird psychological issues to yourself.”His jaw tightened.“And stay away from my side of the house,” he warned coldly. “I mean it.”I scoffed. “Trust me, being near you isn’t exactly on my wishlist.”Then I walked out before my heartbeat betrayed how shaken I actually felt.The second I entered my room, my phone started ringing. My chest tightened painfully at the sight of Jenna's name.I tossed the phone aside, but Jenna was determined to blow off my phone with her incessant calls. With a frustrated sighI answered.“Emery!” Her voice sounded panicked,
