All Chapters of THE SUMMER I LOST CONTROL : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

ZOE’S POVI left his house looking unkempt. My hair was scattered, but I didn’t mind. I had to stand outside the estate waiting for the ride I ordered.I was shaking in fear; I wasn’t okay with what had happened. How do I tell Daisy what her man did to me? I don’t think telling Rain will be a good idea, because she would suggest I tell Daisy.I just want to go home.Daisy didn’t pick my call; I wouldn’t have found myself in this mess. To think that she’s so dumb that her boyfriend found out she was bisexual from his observation, and she clearly told me he wasn’t aware.But why is he still with her if he knows her gist?The ride arrived and I entered. He dropped me off and I paid him. The gate wasn’t locked, it was bolted. I unbolted it and entered inside. Rain was in the living room watching a movie.I entered; “You’re home early, is she back?”“Let’s talk later, I’m coming,” I said as I walked past her. She was looking at me. She didn’t follow me; she continued watching her movie.I

HELPING DAISY“I feel for Daisy, she’s got a cheating boyfriend. Who knows how many people he goes around fucking and raping,” Rain said.“I’m a victim here, you’re not feeling for me, and it’s Daisy you’re talking about?”Rain just has a soft heart.“You’re here and well. What if she contracts one of these diseases from him?”My mind quickly flashed through what we did. I mean, Daisy and I. What if I had contracted whatever it is?“I need to run a test,” I said quickly.“What for?” she asked.“Nothing, I just need it.”“Not like you were raped, you don’t need it. Or is there something you’re not telling me?”“No, I err, not that, just that emmm…”“Zoe.”“What?”“What’s with the stammering?”“I’m not stammering, just trying to answer your question.”“I hope so.”I just hope Daisy is safe after seeing the message Rain had sent.“I should be in my room.”“Okay.”She left and I grabbed my phone to call Kingsley, just to have someone to talk to, maybe share what had happened with him.I g

MOM’S REACTIONThe dining table became so quiet. I wasn’t expecting Rain to say that; she’s actually becoming different now.We both looked at each other immediately she said that.Clearly Daisy had rough sex with her boyfriend, and I’m pretty sure she’s going back to him, so why is Rain trying to put us in trouble?“What?” Mom exclaimed.No one said anything. I wasn’t going to include myself in the conversation anyways; she was probably going to finish what she started.Lying without calculating the outcome doesn’t make any sense. I picked up my phone from the table and texted Rain.“What do you think you’re doing?”I asked her. Before she could pick up her phone and respond, Mom slammed her hand on the table in anger.“Can someone tell me what is going on here?”Rain dropped her phone. I knew she was finding it difficult to continue with the lie. Daisy was lost; she clearly knows the truth. How is she going to come up with more lies?“Mom, that’s the truth,” Rain said.“I never said

MOM CAUGHT ME.I covered my legs with the duvet while doing what I was doing, so Mom didn’t get to see the real deal; what she saw was the rose box.“Zoe, I ask again, what is a sex toy doing in my house?”How come she knew what it was so quickly? Maybe she has one—that thought crossed my mind, but I quickly brushed it aside.“That’s not mine.”“Who owns it? This looks brand new. Don’t even try to lie.”“Okay, fine, I got it, but I’m not using it.”“You got what?”“The Rose.”“Get up from there,” she said.How was I supposed to get up with the Rose in my hand? I dropped the toy under the duvet along with my panties. I was wearing a short nightgown, so it covered my backside.I got up, covering the Rose with my duvet. I prayed she wouldn't raise the blanket, but she did anyway.“Zoe, what is this?”“My panties.”“You were touching yourself, Zoe!”“I felt an urge, so I started touching myself.”“You did what?!”“I’m human, and my hormones function too!”“Oh my goodness, I’m so disappoin

CHAPTER 30THE BIRTHDAYI woke up, stretched my body, and reached for my phone like I do every other morning. Then I remembered…It is my birthday. I am 20 today.I smiled to myself. When did I grow up?I lay in bed for a while, checking my phone and reading the birthday messages Kingsley had sent me. Daisy? She is a sweetheart.I felt happy, but somehow, I also felt a little emotional. How did we get here so fast? The big 20.I mean, I am actually leaving my teenage years behind. Am I supposed to be an adult now? Amazing.I smiled and whispered, "Happy birthday to me," before Rain and Mom came in singing a happy birthday song for me. I was so happy. When they were done, they gave me gifts. I did not know they had planned all that. I felt so special and loved.I thought this was going to be the first day that my mom would not wish me a happy birthday, but that was a lie.They took me to the living room and I found it full of decorations and surprises. I actually thought what they did
