Sammy watched the captain of his own high-school basketball team from the window of his flat. The guy was hurting, that much was obvious. But did he deserve this level of punishment?
He hated to admit it, but Mike's company hadn't been awful. Though he wasn't exactly sparkling with wit, there was something almost cute about him. A childlike innocence. And it wasn't as if the guy was unattractive. His body was near perfect; all in proportion and with tight, neat little muscles.
'I'm a pervert for noticing that,' Sammy scolded himself. To be fair, Mike had been checking him out almost constantly for the past few hours. He hadn't even been sneaky about it.
The memory of Mike's eyes on his body caused his blood to rush in the opposite direction of his brain. He considered sacking off homework and relieving himself instead.
Knock knock knock...
The door creaked as his mother
Zonked out in front of the television as the movie credits rolled, the name 'Damien' travelled down the screen, breaking her trance.She looked away from the TV to her issue of Kerrang magazine. The singer slashed across the front cover had piercing blue eyes, dark hair and facial piercings.'He looks a little like...'"Damien!" Belle cried, swiping the magazine from the coffee table and making her roommate jump. "He's everywhere I look.""Erm... who is Damien?" Kalpna asked.Belle wondered how she was going to explain the Damien situation. Coming up empty, she shook her head and told her roommate and friend that it didn't matter."I'm here if you need to talk about anything," Kalpna offered, her pretty face creased with concern.The reason for her concern became clear when Belle caught sight of herself in the mirror above the fi
*** Authors note - this chapter contains sexually explicit content ***When Damien turned to his computer, scrolling through his playlists to find a suitable song for such an occasion, Belle noted the pair of handcuffs hooked onto the back of his belt.'Is he kinky, or is it all for show?' she wondered.Seeing his expression when he turned back to her, Belle guessed she was going to find out.He actually licked his lips as he stared down at her."You know, I've thought a lot about what I'd like to do to you, but now I have the opportunity, I just..." Damien sighed. "I just don't know."As music began to play, Belle recognised the song."Sellouts by Breathe California," she said. "This is like their only decent song, but it's really good."Damien's eyes narrowed as he nodded in agreement.
As soon as Sammy stepped one foot through the school gates, he was there, loping over like a greyhound with the sad but hopeful look upon his face."So? Did you think about it?" Mike asked, wiping sweaty hair from his forehead.A glance over at the basketball court revealed he was practising with his friend. Eddy, now abandoned on the court, dropped the ball when a group of girls sauntered past."Come play me," Mike suggested with too much enthusiasm. "We'll be like Kuroko and Kazuma."Sammy laughed, genuinely warmed that Mike had remembered the characters names even though he wasn't even an anime fan."I'm no good," Sammy said."So?" Mike shrugged. "I'll go easy on you."This made Sammy smile. He'd never played basketball in school before, but he'd played with his sister plenty on the court by the park. It belonged to the middle school a
** Authors note - This chapter contains scenes of abuse **When Jess met the others at their unofficial gathering point by the school gates, she almost fell over her own feet.Pausing to take in the unusual scene, she heard a scrape of feet as Ricky stopped beside her."What the ever-living fuck?" he cried, echoing Jess's thoughts perfectly."What?" Damien asked with a smirk. He scratched his face, jangling the metal chain that hung from the leash in his hand.On the other end of the leash was a girl.'She's so beautiful,' Jess gasped. 'Is this Annabelle Ross?'With long, raven hair, skin like ivory and deep red lips, she was the living image of Snow White. Well... if Snow White were a fishnet wearing goth with tattoos and piercings.She knelt at Damien’s feet like a dog, weari
"I'm not really going to intrude on your date," Kiaan said as soon as the three boys were a good distance up the road. "I just didn't want any part of that weirdness."Sammy thought Mike would be relieved to hear this, but the former bully shocked him by speaking up in protest."You aren't intruding at all," Mike assured him warmly. "Come along. It will be fun."Sammy noted the way Kiaan looked over for reassurance and nodded to let him know it was okay."So where are we going?" Sammy asked."The restaurant where my friend works. She's always giving me freebies," Mike told them.The mention of a female friend sparked a jealous tick.'I don't even know if he likes girls too,' Sammy thought. He was aware Mike had slept with girls but never had the same girlfriend for any length of time.The restaurant&
The light of the sun hurt Belle's eyes while the snow stung her knees. Due to the angle of the handcuffs, the only choices were to sit, kneel or crouch. Sitting was preferable, in terms of both dignity and pain levels, but the snow was beginning to melt and soak her skirt.Her heart sank as the bell rang and the playground flooded with the ruckus of teenagers shouting, shoving each other and kicking balls about.'Please don't notice me,' she thought, trying to disguise herself behind a bush that was more like a fine collection of twigs. The only attention she wanted was Damien's.When a ball hit the gate, she heard the skid of trainers approaching and tried to ball herself up smaller."What the heck," a boy cried. "What are you doing there?"With a defeated sigh, Belle unfurled herself and looked up at him. With a head of blonde curls, pink cheeks and dimples, he looked
** Note - Scenes of a sexual nature and abuse **"I am colour-blind,Coffee black and egg white,Pull me out from inside,I am ready,I am ready,I am ready,I am,Taffy stuck and tongue tied,Stuttered shook and uptight,Pull me out from inside,I am ready,I am ready,I am ready,I am fine."As the song played, Belle felt her stomach shrinking and her heart breaking. It was the first time she'd heard it since listening to it on repeat after splitting up with her ex-boyfriend and love of her life. The memory of the pain hit her like a sledgehammer to the chest."What the hell is this, Caine?" Damien frowned at his friend's odd music choice."Leave it on repeat. Trust me," Caine replied, casing a cruel grin in her direction.Damien rolled his eyes. "Nah, I want something lo
Jess was almost asleep when her phone rang.She rolled over in her bed, frowning at the number she didn't recognise.'Err... hello?" Jess said."Jess, it's me, Cat, I need to see you--""Cat? Wh—what's wrong?" Jess asked, sitting up in her bed and turning on the light. There was something in the girl's voice. Something worrying.'She sounds like Annabelle,' Jess realised."Please can I come over? I know it's late," Cat asked."Erm," Jess looked over at the alarm clock. The little green dial read 10:38 but it was a Friday night and her parents were at a charity function to raise money for the town's library. "Yeah, sure."Cat lived a few streets away. Back in the old days she would sneak over in the night and climb through the window. Today she rang the doorbell like any other visitor.
