JOJO'S POV I wake up with a mild headache to see Aunt—Mom looking down at me with worry lines visible on her forehead. “Mom? I call, my voice weirdly hoarse. Ew! My breath smells like a soured waste sewage tunnel. I move to sit up and she props up the pillow to help me get settled. A glass of water and aspirin is given to me and I take them dutifully. I clear my throat, “Thanks.” I've been thinking… maybe we should move back to Manhattan.” She looks at me expectantly The glass cup trembles in my hand and I drop it on the nightstand, “What?” She sighs, “I feel like you're having trouble adjusting to this place…” I protest but she raises her voice prompting me to let her finish. “Last night was the third time you got so messed up and we've barely settled here.” This is not the conversation to be having with a hangover, she doesn't play fair. Ughhhh! “I'm a teenager, we're allowed to do dumb things and blame it on our emotions. That's our EMO.” “The last time you did a dumb
Hyenas, ugly as they are, are my spirit animals. The rest are too generic, too fucking puny, and in line with the law of the wild to mess with big and bad. But not hyenas, they fight with lions, Cheat the cheetahs, and rumble with the elephants just to get what they want. And they get it. There's no room for fear among their ranks, only food and loyalty. Screw everything else. I send the last message to the Redhead— Jojo Dukes, is it?— of the Gone Girls crew and remove the battery from the burner phone. My time with Vongov taught me a bit about tech and tracking. The screen of my phone lights with colorful videos as I scroll through their I*******m, The Gone Girls? I snort. The name sounds like a sorry attempt at Charlie's Angels brought on by the traumatic plot holes of the main characters. Just who the hell do they think they are? Coming to my town, stealing my spotlight, trying to steal my boyfriend, and Taking my man. Yes, Jeremy Vongov is still my man. We've been togethe
JOJO'S POV “A fresh week, a fresh start doesn't apply to everyone and is the exact opposite for Social media facial and beauty queen Influencer, Claire Eastwood.” The announcement blares over Sabbel High's hallways as Monday rolls in and life only gets harder for Claire. There's an altercation between Claire and her former BFFs at the Cafeteria where they confirm the bullying claims with a sobbing Lisa as the center of attraction. "The story is that she'd made some scathing comments about Lisa's private life and the poor girl couldn't take it anymore, she burst into tears and their friends ran to her defense from the big bad bully." Her former friends slowly shrink into the background, leaving her to fend off the aggressive commentators who happen to be at the scene. “I heard they took away her seat at the Cafeteria. She didn't eat with them today.” Mallory, Kendrick, and I turn to the speaker with shock evident on our faces. “What, it's true!” Ellie insists to our little group
JEREMY'S POV I'm sitting in my dark workshop, drinking at 2:30 on a Monday afternoon and I don't even feel the liquor. The last two days have been the worst form of torture, I've ever faced and I wasn't even close to the discipline chamber. Tasting her pussy was the worst decision I ever made and now I'm in deep regret because I can't move on. I'm feel a junkie, spending the entire weekend chasing after her, stalking her socials like a damned addict on the verge of withdrawal. She has tainted my bloodstream, leaving me addicted and under her control. It's fucking up my head and the bandages wrapped around my knuckles are proof of it. I had to spar or fight every other hour because my skin became overly irate. It's like I'm walking on eggshells around my own skin so I don't get triggered, stretching out at the smallest provocation, feeling the needle pricks at the slightest irritation, getting hot and bothered with every memory. She's like a virus, corrupting in my system. Fuck
JoJo's POV “This is when you run, Josephine.” He says coldly as he starts methodically taking off his clothes. I swallow down my nerves, “I'm not going.” I say, proud my voice came out strong because I'm trembling inside, melting by the minute. “Take off your clothes and shoes.” He demands and I scramble to obey. He seizes the hair clip holding up my hair and loose strands fall around my face like a curtain, blinding me to the man in front of me. Rough hands brush apart the hair covering my face. I look up to see him tracing his lips with his fingers and I suck my lips into my mouth to keep from moaning. His black eyes harden to pebbles as he stares down at me with an intensity that blinds me to common sense. “Kneel on the table and bend until your cheek rests on it.” I follow his instructions, and my breasts end up grazing the hard surface of the table, my ass high up in the air. Uncertainty pokes holes through the foggy desire blocking my rational thought process and unfilter
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
