The pavement wets my ass as I sit on it, quietly waiting for my friend, Jojo Dukes to come out. I slipped in a few minutes after she'd left the group, complaining of migraines and chemicals. Jo's the most clueless girl I've ever known, even Ken isn't that beguiled though her pure lamb expression and stature tend to make her as the victim in most situations. People end up taking her side because she looks too innocent to have done whatever she's being accused of. It works for me whenever we go out together because people see me and instantly think, trouble with a capital “T” and they're not wrong. But the truly naive one among us is Jojo, she thinks she got us into this mess but if her guilty complex could take a dive for a minute, she'd understand that we made this decision ourselves and if anything happens to either one of us, none of us is to blame. From my peripheral, I see a shadow turning a corner from the bathroom into the quiet hallway. Lunch break is about to end in a f
Mallory Bricks I step into the room crammed with exceptional artworks you’d think were forged from years of practice and finesse but they all pale to the background the moment I spot Jojo. She's standing stark naked in a dark corner of the room, holding a bloodied pocket knife to her left wrist. “Jo!” I call but I'm too late. Again. The knife cuts into her flesh, swiping through, from edge to edge and blood gushes out of the broken skin. She slumps to the floor and I rush towards her, dragging her into my arms. “Why! Jo, Why would you do this?!” I scream, dread and panic coiling to form a deep knot inside my stomach. “I'm… so… tired… of… being… useless…” She mutters, her eyelids drooping with each word. Red crimson forms a bloody pool around us. My fingers slide to her neck and I feel her pulse getting weaker and weaker. I can’t let her eyes close. I can let her eyes close. I can't let them close. What'd I do? What'd I do? My hands rake through my hair, tugging hard at the
JEREMY'S POV I stalk out of Sabbel High, my skin burning with fierce intensity. I need a fight. I need a drink. I need a fucking smoke. I enter my truck and zoom off to the nearest gas station. As I fuel the tank, I enter the store to buy some alcohol. The other customers stare at me and quickly move the other way as I walk past them. I grab four bottles of cheap vodka— the only ones they have— and the girl at the sales desk eye-fuck me as she checks out the items. I grab the bottles and glare at her, “Do you want to fuck?” She leads me to the manager's office with a shy smile, “He ain't around right now, so…” I push her into the shabby space with a hand on her head and shove her down to her knees. Her hands go to my zip and she pulls out a deflated cock from the confinement. “You need help with that?” The girl asks with a smirk. “Shut up.” An image, one I'd rather not think about appears before me. It's her, in the rain, staring at me with wide innocent eyes. Fuck! My coc
Jeremy's POV “We have a problem.” Kai announced this almost thirty minutes ago and we're still waiting for him to spit the problem out. “What's the problem, Kai?” Nev grates out, holding an ice pack to his swollen eye. “Actually, we have two problems, right now.” “And we still don't know the first.” I deadpan, washing my bloody face in the bathroom. In addition to my older injuries, I got four cracked ribs, a shifty jaw I fixed back in place, three loose teeth, and a bleeding ear. Malakai herded us to his house in a bid to relay his urgent news but so far he's been stuck on his computer, typing away with furious accuracy. “Someone hacked into my system,” Kai says with a slight smile. Nevi sits up. “Why aren't you bothered about this?” I probe. “Because our secret hacker is none other than Mallory Bricks.” “Yeah, we already guessed that,” Nev says with a grim expression. “The question is, do you know what part of data she hacked into?” He swivels the office chair towards
JoJo's POV I fucked a Monster and I paid for it. With my life. Literally. “I can help with the homework and projects if they're taking a toll on your wrists.” With a frustrated sigh, I drop the ball pen onto my lap and it rolls to the ground. It's been two weeks since I woke up from the coma. The doctors said I needed more time in the hospital to heal as my wound was too deep and there was a high risk of infection. Taking my life—Attempting to take my life was a fucked up stretch, one that'll never happen again and I won't say why I did it. The real question is, would you understand? Exhaustion paints my face as I watch my Aunt slash Adoptive Mom. She's standing over me, over the textbooks strewn across the hospital bed and peering into the book on my lap. “Stop hovering.” “Is the Math too hard? Do you need a tutor? Or do you need—” “Why don't I just drop out?” I throw my hands in the air in exasperation. “Why would you say such a thing?” She rebukes. “Why won't I, when you
JOJO'S POV My eyes perform a slow appraisal of him as they hungrily sweep from his boot-clad feet through his black jeans and his black turtleneck to the tip of his inky black hair. He looks like a spy. A delicious spy. Come on Jo, it was just sex and one that ended horribly at that. Tell that to my stupid heart that has been racing since he stepped into the room. I clear my suddenly dry throat and fix him a glare, my words biting. “What are you doing here, Vongov?” His eyebrows pull upward and he puts out his hands in surrender, “I came to talk.” “How did you even know I was here?” He takes his time answering by slowing his gait as he reaches the table by the window and picking an unpeeled apple. “A bit of gossip from the right sources.” He bites into the apple and my mouth waters at the sight. Get a fucking grip, Josephine!!! He left you bleeding on a work table with only a dusty sheet to comfort you after brutally breaking your hymen. I adjust my position, sitting cros
The telephone rings, disturbing the peace of the quiet office, jerking me up from a dreamless sleep as I throw my two hundred and seventy-eight pounds of body weight around the recliner chair to find balance. Reports and files are scattered everywhere and are on every available surface of the cheap mahogany table. Even my name plate sits inside one of the drawers collecting dust in line with how many years I've been sitting on this case. I flip on the desk light and it blares into my blood-rimmed eyes, shooting straight for my brain and giving me an instant headache. The telephone continues ringing, contributing to the throbbing effect in my head and I pick up the damn thing. “What?!” I snap into the phone while reaching for the half-empty bottle of bourbon on top of a stack of old files. “Burky, did I wake ya?” My partner, Steve Robertson, and old friend teases into the telephone. He's never in a good mood whenever he resorts to teasing. “This had better be good, Steve. What'
JOJO'S POV Six days ago, Jeremy Vongov walked out of my life and I didn't follow him. The piece of paper he forced into my hand is collecting dust inside the bedstand drawer. The hospital just approved my clearance, declaring me fit for the real world. “You ready?” Aunt Sherry asks from the door. “Yeah, I can't wait to be out of here.” I start to leave the room but stop at the drawer and chuck the stupid piece of paper into the back of my jeans. After this, no more. At the parking lot, standing out from everyone around them, I see Mallory and Kendrick holding up colorful placards that respectively read: WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG, GINGER!!! WELCOME BACK TO THE WORLD OF CRAZINESS AND HOMEWORK🙂🙂… I turn to Aunt Sherry in shocked laughter and she nods with a wide grin, “Go on.” I drop the bags in my grip to start sprinting towards my besties. They drop the placards and start running towards me and I can feel the joy bubbling out of me until it is suddenly taken away. A black va
