Faye
“Morning.” Chiara greets and hands me a coffee.“Thanks.” I sip the seriously cup. “God that’s good.”“Morning Ladies.” Nick saunters over and rests in arm around Chiara’s shoulders.“Morning, Nick.” She says sweetly with a smile.“Are we ready for departure?” He says loudly.“Shhhhhhhhhhh.” I close my eyes and wrap both hands around the warm coffee cup. “It’s too early for excitement.”“She’s not a morning person.” Chiara says. I open my eyes to see her giggling.“Morning everyone.” Aidan says and he walks towards us with his arm around Danika’s waist. Jared, Ben and a girl whose name I don’t know follow closely behind, laughing. I love the sound of Jared’s laugh. His laugh alone makes me not hate this morning as much. It even makes me smile.“Morning Faye.” Jared smiles at me.“Morning.” I smirk at him while sipping my coffee. He was so cute last night when I was running my fingers through his hair.“Faye, this is Asterin. She’s gonna join our group for the trip so we’re an even group of 8.” Ben introduces.I reach my hand out to shake hers. “Hi Asterin. I’m Faye. It’s nice to meet you.”“You too.” She says with a mega watt smile. She’s so cute, like a little doll.“Ready to board?” Aidan asks and we all follow him and Danika through security and onto the plane.I walk with Jared at the back of the group. As we enter the plane the air hostess stops me.“Miss Hanning. Your ticket has been upgraded to first class.” She says sweetly.“It has?” I say quizzically.“Yes. Yours and one friends.” She looks to Jared and back at me. “Curtesy of Mr Romano.”I let out an exasperated breathy chuckle. Dear God Alessio. I turn to Jared.“Wanna fly first class?” I smile widely with a chuckle.“Hell yes!” He smiles back.We follow the air hostess through the cabins and into first class. As I walk past Chiara she looks up at me with big eyes. I shrug and give her a look back.We sit in the comfy big chairs.“Miss Hanning.” The air hostess says quietly like she doesn’t want to disturb us. “Mr Romano wanted you to have this.” She hands me an envelope.“Thank you.” I take the letter and tear the top off.Dearest PixieI can’t wait to see you. I know how much you hate flying so there’s sedatives in the envelope. Have anything you want, on me. The air hostess knows. I hope you and my purchase have a wonderful flight.Love AlessioI peek into the envelope and see the syringe.“Excuse me a moment.” I say to Jared and head to the bathroom to take the sedative.When I sit back in my seat the sedative kicks in. I take a deep breathe.“You okay?” Jared asks and lays a hand on my arm. His hand always left a warmth on my skin.“I’m wonderful.” I say half dazed. “You can have whatever you want. It’s all paid for.”His eyes widen. “Seriously?”“Seriously.”“Who is Mr Romano?” Jared asks with a mixture of curiosity and anger.“A very, very old friend.”“Why did he do this?”“I have something he wants. That, and he’s always trying to flatter me into my former profession.”“Former profession?” He asks. The air hostess comes back at that moment. I hand her the envelope.“Is everything to your liking Miss Hanning?” She asks sweetly.“Yes.” I smile back. “Everything is wondrous.”She nods and heads to do the safety demonstration.I grab the headphones playing my rock music playlist. Making the chair flat and tilted so my feet are higher than my head, I close my eyes and enjoy the music._______________________________The flight takes a few hours but soon enough we land. By the time we’ve landed, the sedative has worn off and I’m ready to get off the plane.Chiara links her arm through mine and pesters me with questions, most of which I laugh off.“Well next time, I’m coming with you. I’ll be a hell of a lot more fun than Jared.” She pulls her tongue and him.“To be fair, I was the one who wasn’t much fun.” I say to her.“I highly doubt that.”“No truly. I hate flying so I wasn’t very chatty.” Jared had watched me carefully the entire flight but never once forced me out of my comfort bubble.“But now we’re in New York!” Chiara says. I laugh at her as we all head to grab our bags.“Here.” Jared says and picks my bag up.“Thank you.” I smile at him. He gives me a Colgate smile back.Seems Chiara tricked Nick into carrying hers and the two of us walk at the head of the group arm in arm and laughing to the hotel.“Photo.” She shouts. We stand in front of our hotel and take a selfie with silly faces. Then we get one of the other people in our grade to take a photo of the whole group. Everyone gets the bags and heads inside. I grab Jared before he can pick up the bags.“Want a photo?”“Sure.”I hold my phone out and squish my cheek to his and scrunch my nose with a smile.“This is cute.” His smile makes the whole photo. I then pick up both our bags. “I think I owe you one.”We head inside. Everyone is getting their room keys. Chiara runs towards me.“I got the best room.” She says.“As long as it has an amazing view.”“Of course it does.” She rolls her eyes like that was obvious.“Jared, looks like it’s you and me.” Nick says.“Cool.”“Let’s go settle in.” Aidan winks at Danika who rolls her eyes but follows him into the elevator.“Everyone be down here in 30minutes.” Mrs Woods shouts before everyone heads into their rooms.The rest of us head up once the mad elevator rush is over.“This room is stunning.” Chiara says. She drops her bags on the floor and throws the balcony doors open.“Isn’t it just stunning.” I head into the bathroom. It has a massive bathtub with a view of the city. I will definitely be soaking in there before we leave.Chiara and I unpack quickly so we can chill on the beds with their pristine white sheets.“There’s nothing you can’t do now you’re in New York.” I sing while looking over at Chiara.“These streets will make you feel brand new.” She joins in.“Big lights will inspire you.” We both stand and start dancing on our beds.“Let’s hear it for New York!” We shout at the top of our lungs. “New York, New York, New York.”We both flop back into our beds laughing. I haven’t felt this happy in a long time. I’ve never had a friend like this. I know we haven’t know each other long but I feel so comfortable around her, even if I can’t tell her everything.“You ready to go down?” She asks.“Yup.”We head into the lobby where the guys are waiting.“Where’s Danika and Astrid?” I ask Aidan.“Coming now.” He says with a smile.“Okay.” Mrs Wood claps to get our attention.“This is the pairing. Please make sure to stick to your partners and all partners stay in your groups.” She processes to read off the pairs in the groups. Lucky me, I’m Aidan’s pair and were in a group with Ben and Astrid.Chiara and Ben are paired in a different group.Danika is paired with Aidan’s friend, Dylan, in another group.And Jared is paired with a girl called Daisy in another group. She basically throws herself at him and this burning fire in the base of my chest whispers to kill her. Kill her and fuck him. Whoa! Where did that come from? We’re not even dating. I’m not allowed to be jealous. But I am. Like the slimy green eyes monster that takes its claws down people’s senses.The day goes by so painfully slow. Our group is paired with the one Jared’s in and all I can think about, breathe in, is the little slag draping herself on Jared like a fur coat. The thought of shooting and skinning her cane through my mind a couple times. Except instead of a coat, I would turn her into a rug so I could trample her and then take her outside and beat her with a stick. And Aidan was nothing but friendly with me the whole day. At dinner we sat across from each other at the 2 seater table. The exercise is to get to know your trip partner better seeing as we’re spending the next 2 days together. “How’s your cheek doing?” He asks while sipping his milkshake. “I can barley see it.”“The power of makeup.” I smirk. “What about you? How are your buckles doing?”“Fine.” He flexes his fingers. “All healed.”“Good.” I smil
It’s about 11 at night. Everyone is finally asleep. I quietly dig in my bag. Once I have everything I need, I use the tree outside our window to reach the ground. I move at a swift run down the streets. Winding through the high rise city. The blinding lights and fancy stores don’t distract me from running to the stunning building. I catch my breath before heading into the lobby and swaggering to the desk. Faye is replaced by Pixie. “I’m here for Mr Texiera.” I say to the receptionist. “You can go up.” She gestures to the elevator. “Floor 4.”I head to the elevator. Once the doors close I drop the bag on the floor and look in the mirror. I straighten my black leather shorts and tug the collar of my ankle length black coat. I straighten the top hat with bunny ears on my head, the hat hiding my hair. No makeup. The scar on my cheek still a sickly sweet pink. The door opens a
“Don’t talk to me till I’ve had coffee.” I announce to our breakfast table as I slump into the chair and put my head on the table. “Maybe if you were sleeping instead of sneaking into people rooms at night, you wouldn’t be so tired I think the morning.” Jared whispers in my ear as he sits down. I chuckle. “Maybe.” “Her Jared.” A very peppy Daisy bounces over. “Can I sit?” “Sure.” Jared says looking annoyed. She quickly grabs a chair from another table. “Do you mind moving over, Frey?”“It’s Faye.” You cunt, I think to myself as I glare at her and scoot my chair over. “I don’t like her either.” Aidan leans over and whispers. “Do you think if I slit her throat anyone would miss her?” “”Her hair stylist. Making it that un
Faye I try to take a deep breath but something heavy’s on my chest. I open my eyes and wince at the stream of light poking through the curtain from the never sleeping city. God my head hurts. This, this is why I stopped drinking. But looking down at a sleeping Jared, the throbbing dulls. He is so gorgeous when he sleeps. He snores like a sailer though. I run my hand gently through his silky hair. He moans lightly and scrunches his nose before his pretty green eyes sparkle as they stare into mine. “Morning.” I say softly. “Morning.” His voice is rough and god help me how it turns me on. “What time is it?”I look over at the clock on the wall. “5:45”“In the morning?” He whines. “Then go back to sleep.” I start playing with his hair again. “We need to talk.” He snuggles back into me though. &
Jared ‘Snorting Cocaine off of our mate!’ Flint growls at me. ‘But she’s here now.’ I reply. Looking down I didn’t know a person could feel so many emotions. She makes me so angry and then so confused and so fucking happy. She makes me happy. This little bundle of spunk. I can’t believe she managed to pin me! She’s so perfect. It’s going to be hard to not be possessive over her in public but I’ll do my best. And the whole being in only one part of her life was a shock but I’ll take it. I’ll take anything she gives me. ‘You did good.’ Flint purrs looking down at her too. I smile and stroke her hair. She fell asleep in my arms after our early morning conversation. I think this perfect woman holds a lot of secrets, a weight on her shoulders. It’s going to take a lot to convince her share the burdens she carries. ‘Don’t ever le
I don’t know when it happened, but in the last month I moved from Danika’s friend group to Aidan’s. They were all warriors in his pack and seriously cool. We spoke about deep things like politics between the packs and within the wolf community, defense strategies, ranking and sometimes we spoke about absolute crap like why raisins are not more dead than grapes and who was fucking who. I’m really good friends with Chiara but that’s more an outside thing now. And Jared… he’s the perfect boyfriend. Everything he does is perfect. We go on dates twice, three times a week. He surprised me with the sweetest little gifts at school. He sometimes fetches me for school and drops me off after. Just, Perfect. “So I think we should up training to an extra day a week.” Xavier says to the group. “But when? There’s no time. We’re already training that age group 4 times a week.&rdq
Faye I hate rehab centres. I hate the people who work here. I hate walking through the facilities with my raging mother. I hate being the grown up. I hate watching them cuff my mother and sedate her. I hate I hate i hateeverything_____________No matter how many times I do it, I always cry in the way back to my house after dropping her at a rehab centre. I always wish the world would just swallow me whole. I wipe a tear from my blurry eyes. My phone rings again and I toss it into the back seat. Aidan needs to stop calling! I look at the signs on the boards as I drive down the freeway. Against all better judgement, I take the exit to the beach close to my mothers facility. Parking, I breathe in the salty air. I walk down the board walk. But an ice cream and squidge my toes in the sand. I become a child again. No more making drugs, selling and shipping them. No more bills and pap
“Go away, Aidan.” I don’t even look at him as I walk up to my front door. “Where the hell have you been?” He shouts at me as he pushes off the threshold of my door. “Out.” I unlock the door. “Where you driving while drinking?” “No.” I smile at him. “Now go away.” I slam the door in his face and lock it. I hear him pounding against it but pull a cigarette out of the container and light it before turning up the radio. ‘We are between, we are between, yeah we are’I take a deep breath and lean against the counter. ‘Somewhere between dust and the stars’I sniff the cigarette out and head upstairs. Tonight is music and pizza night! So I pull off my pants and pull on my favourite green crop top and Lacy green panties. I go back downstairs and turn the mus
