~Bobbie~“Hm…” I moaned, stretching my hands up in the air. The chilly air kissed my skin, I covered myself with the duvet up my neck. It’s no surprise that I am naked under these sheets. My eyes flutter open at the whiff of delicious waffles and bacon filling the air.The room is clean, memories of Jake and I’s lovemaking, breaking things along the way flashed in my mind. I took a sweater and jeans from my luggage and walked barefoot against the icy floor.I stopped in my tracks when I heard myself. It was faint, but I can recognize my voice singing ‘Make it with you’.Jake was in the kitchen, back facing me, moving gracefully.“Good morning,” I covered my mouth, hearing

~Bobbie~Jake helped me out of my remaining clothes and all that I was wearing is his promise ring, the necklace he gave me and a blindfold. I was still on top of the bed and just like the other time he made me wear this black cloth, my other senses heightened. The warmth of his hand rubbing my arms up and down was all I could focus on.“Ready?” he asked, and I swallowed the growing lump in my throat.“Yes…” my voice was thick with desire and I felt his body on my back as he guided my hands until I felt something under it. It was the headboard of the bed and I gripped it as his fingers guided mine to hold on to it.I was sitting on my heel, but Jake parted my legs. With every touch of his hand, I can feel myself getting further aroused and

~Bobbie~Spangles of alluring colors lit up the dark sky of New Year’s Eve. The entire world is celebrating the change of year while I stood on the balcony of my room. This pleasing sight is the exact opposite of the turmoil happening inside my chest.I left tons of messages and voicemail for Jake. I waited for an explanation on what the hell is happening between us, but he just vanished. He just needed time, I told myself, but when I picture the redhead kissing him; it was clear that he chose her over me.His social media profile which was a picture of me and him changed the same time the year changed. The redhead was clinging onto him, smiling on the camera while Jake’s face remained passive.To unfollow him will be useless. Some students kept tagging me on

~Bobbie~Have you ever felt that feeling as if your body is moving like a mechanical device? That is me.I can’t feel my heart anymore. As the day flew by, the pain became bearable and search for explanation became unimportant.Damon worked with the details he had on Jake’s phone, but I got no interest in it... in him. I asked Matt to take care of everything for me and to inform me, only if they found out who this Nycrwler is.I avoided him to the best of my abilities. A month of not seeing him is good for my mechanical body until he showed up in the Bunker with a girl.I felt warm hands on my shoulders and I looked up to Lee’s fuming gaze. “Do you want me to drive you home?” He looked into my ey

Just a friendly reminder, Babes. This novel is a work of fiction. All names, characters, locations, and incidents are a product of the author’s imagination, or have been used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual people living or dead, locales, or events is entirely coincidental. We’re closing in on the shaky part of this book. Like what I’ve mentioned in the beginning, some scenes ahead might not be suitable for everyone. This book will tackle sensitive topics such as rape and self harm. And if you decide to go further, I would ask for your kind understanding. Yeah… I’m done, I love you and thank you for sticking around. Much love, Ljxx ;)

~Jake~To watch Bobbie from afar was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. Because of me, she’s bashed and bullied, but I can’t do anything.This is fucked up.Jack asked me why I was stupid enough to let her go. My answer to that question is because I love her so fucking much. Even that is something I have to keep to myself.I had to watch Zach take what’s mine slowly, and now I can understand what hell on earth meant. Time is all I needed to fix this situation where I am in, I want this stunt to be over before I lose her completely to Zach.“What did you just do?” Priya yelled, her infuriating high pitched voice boomed all over her car. “I can’t believe this, you just showe

~Bobbie~The clock is ticking, my heart is shattering. Morning came, even if I prayed for the night to stay. My life hasn’t been easy, but now it gets tougher and tougher. I got no courage left in me; I got no will to face the world.Here in the comfort of my bed, I am safe from the world. Safe from being confronted by the past that kept crawling its way in my present, blocking my path to the future.I didn’t want to wake up, but I didn’t want to stay asleep. The nightmares used to be fragments of the past. Last night, it was a replay. An entire clip of that scene on the beach.Brandon’s hand felt so soft against mine while the sand was rough under our feet. The water was so cold, kissing our sole, but my heart kept pumping warm blood for my body to keep up.He looked up to me, a smile on his lips, thanking me for my birthday present to him, an escape from mom and his dad before they woke up.Th

~Bobbie~Damien’s eyes glimmer with tears. “I met your Mom when she visited Veria twenty years ago.” A small smile tugged his lips. “It was love at first sight and I didn’t want to let her go back to the US alone, but I had no money. I was a cleaner in a diner who loved a girl living half across the world from me. I did everything I could to follow her, to pursue her, and I got the money, but it wasn’t in a legal way. She was in Harvard taking up medicine and I did everything to support her.’‘But the people I owe money from followed me to collect the interest. When I couldn’t pay them, they sent me to jail back in Greece. I didn’t learn that Abby was pregnant. She died giving birth to you, Bobbie, alone and sick, thinking I left her. I tried talking to the St. Clairs when I got out of jail, to take cu

~Bobbie~ Because I am a stubborn and hard-headed person, Jake’s words meant nothing to me... not really. Days continue to move forward, time will not halt because of my problems and so do Maggie and her friends. One time, they poured egg and tomato sauce over my head and I had to, again, put on Zach’s clothes the entire day at school. My friends were still oblivious to the fact that I was purposely avoiding them at school because I didn’t want a riot to happen. I only mingle with them at the Bunker, it was ground zero for everyone. Saturday came, Zach will pick me up at ten, and we’ll be watching the game later to support Mel and Candice. Candice is picking up where she left off before the divorce of her parents. She even made it back to the team. I’m truly happy for

~Bobbie~ This date is perfect. Any girl would be grateful to be in my place. I am happy, truly; I am happy. Zach is a wonderful person, annoying at times but a really amazing guy. Him being a good kisser is a plus as well. “So, I’ll meet you at the game?” Zach is still holding my hand. He hasn’t let it go since the lake, as if he was afraid I’d run away or something. The pad of my thumb ran over the rise and fall of his knuckles, rough palms pressing against mine gently. I smiled at Zach. The 4Runner halted at a full stop in front of my place. I’m hoping Matt has somewhere else to be. Part of me wishes not to see my cousin, to just stay inside this car with Zach, relish this pleasant atmosphere of peace. “Yeah,” I replie
