Chelsea I could've sworn my heart stopped beating when the voice interrupted I and Aldrich's conversation. He had exactly the same reaction I had on my face, only he was more composed than I was. Instant anxiety took over my body, making my gaze shift repeatedly.“Atleast she didn't catch you guys making out.” The little voice in my head tried to console me, but I wasn't a bit consoled.“I….we….uhm….” I found words to say, but my tongue failed me. “The both of you had sex?” Naomi asked as she looked between Aldrich and I. The disappointment and disbelief on her was was so evident that it made me feel guilty for the words I said next. “Yes, we did. I'm so sorry, I ……” I answered, trying to apologize for our misconduct, but I was cut short.“When did this happen?” “When you guys were away on your trip.” Aldrich answered. I've never seen him so low in spirit like today. He was low in spirit, but at the same time he had this look on his face, the look that said he didn't have any oun

Aldrich TimberI made the right decision to follow Chelsea behind when I saw her leaving the house. At first, I thought she was going to see that boyfriend of hers, but the time and skimpy dress gave me a clue she was going to the club. I was also unable to sleep like I guess she couldn't, so I was on my way to the kitchen to get a glass of water when I saw her walking out of the house. I didn't want to care, didn't want to involve myself, but when it came to Chelsea, I was a curious cat. I thanked the heavens that whispered to me to sleep in sweatpants and a chair because I didn't have to go up to my room to change before following her.I watched her get into the taxi, go into the club, and have shots and shots of alcohol. I wanted to interfere, tell her she had had enough alcohol, but I decided to let her be. “She needs a few shots to temporarily forget her sadness.” That was what I thought to myself, so I let her be.

ChelseaRegret, dread, those were the two feelings that eluded my being as I stood talking with Aldrich in that bathroom.I wanted it all to stop, I wanted kill it, for the sake of my father's happines, yet I still found myself drowning in his arms again. As I told him the words that fell from my mouth, I felt like a clown. I knew that given another circumstance, I would still run back to him. But I've made my mind to put a pause to it this time around, that was definitely the last time I would get intimate with Aldrich again.I think I need to stay away. I need to move out of that house.The sound of my name caught my attention as we were about to get into the car. On turning back, I came face to face with the least person I expected to see in a club.“Mark?” Mark was not the party type. I had teased him a few times for his boring lifestyle, so seeing him here was a bit of a shocker to me.“Baby, what a

ChelseaI knew what was going to happen the minute he said those words to me. I might've fought within myself, hoped within myself that it was not what I was thinking, but the moment he told me that he was going to show me how much I was his, I couldn't deny it anymore. Forcefully or willingly, he was going to make me have sex with him. “No! Let me go.” I screamed, fighting him, but I was no match for his masculine strength. As I thought of how weak I was against him, it made me regret not listening to a highschool friend to take self defense classes. Maybe, just maybe I might have been able to escape him the first time and prevent it from leading to a second time. He pushed the door with a force, closing it shut immediately he managed to get me in. With dread, I watched him lock the door, leaving me at his mercy. “Mark….” “Now we're alone and you're all mine, mine and mine only.” He did, approaching me with menacing steps. I moved backwards with every forward step that he took, u

AldrichI could swear my heart stopped beating when I placed my ears on her chest and couldn't feel any heartbeat. My head suddenly felt light as denial courses through me at what was happening. “No, no, no.” I shook my head as a lone tear escaped my left eye. I frantically searched for my phone in my pockets but couldn't find it.Shit! I left it in the car.I laid her on the ground, rushing into my car to get my phone. Immediately I got a hold of it, I dialed 911. I requested an ambulance immediately they answered the call, before giving them the address of the motel.Oh God, we are on the outskirt of the city, how long would it take for the ambulance to get here? Immediately went to Chelsea's side again, holding her in my arms. Her hands are still warm. That's a good sign.My heart cracked further as I held her motionless body in my arms, unable to do a thing to help her. I decided to do something, anything to help her before the ambulance arrived. Placing her gently on the grou
