The next day at school, she and Ramsay met up at lunch. It was chilly outside, and only a few students chose to go out in this weather, so they had agreed on meeting behind the west wing of the school where kids usually only went to when they had to run in gym class or wanted to eat lunch in private.
Emmie was already there, squirming in the cold, when Ramsay reached the spot, frowning at her lack of clothing. “You okay?” he asked, immediately shrugging off his Viper jacket and wrapping it around her.
“Thank you,” she quietly said and pecked his lips while sliding her arms into it and hugging it close to her body.
“Your mom let you go out without a jacket?” Ramsay asked as he fixed the beanie on his head.
“Let’s not talk about my mom, please,” Emmie said. “And no, I had a jacket but it’s in my locker.”
“Well, why didn’t go and get it, baby? It’s cold.”
With a slight chuckle, the girl wrapped her arms around his torso, hugging the new h

The next morning, Emmie woke up in Ramsay’s arms. The boy was already awake, planting soft kisses against the skin of her bare shoulder that his shirt didn’t manage to cover. She stayed on her spot for a while, until she realized a book was perched up against her shoulder and he was flipping the pages after about every minute or so had passed. With a slight giggle, she reached her hand out under the covers and grabbed the book. She felt his laughter better than she heard it, his chest shaking against her back as his arm snaked back around her waist. “Good morning, baby,” he whispered, nudging her hair out of the way with his nose to kiss the back of her neck. “Morning,” Emmie mumbled, smiling as she read the title of the book. “Why are you reading The Moonstone while cuddling me?” “You’re warm and I was comfortable and you slept too long, so…” The blonde rolled her eyes while turning to face him. She gently folded the top part of the

The four girls sat in the waiting room patiently, all watching Emmie’s mom right across the room, a scowl on her face as she texted away on her phone. Victoria’s foot tapped nervously against the ground and Olivia’s nails clicked against the plastic chair, the two habits enough to drive Josie crazy. “Stop it!” she said with a sharp tone, bringing their movements to a close, and making Ani smirk humorlessly. “Thanks,” she quietly said and received a nod from the major’s daughter. There were footsteps in the hallway, and suddenly everyone got silent, even the few people who weren’t there for Emmie. Everyone was waiting for news, either good or bad, and when the girl’s doctor showed herself, all the girls stood. “How is she? Is she okay?” Victoria immediately asked. “Please answer, I need to know.” The doctor raised her hand to stop her. “Emmie’s fine.” A collective sigh of relief escaped their lips. “She passed out because of a lack of nutrients

Ramsay sat beside Emmie’s bed, eyes directed to the girl. It had been an hour since she fell asleep, and yet, he couldn’t look away. She was so peaceful while asleep and didn’t seem like the broken girl she was on the inside. Her chest moved up and down in a steady rhythm, but as his thumb brushed over the skin of her hand, he could feel the bruises from making herself vomit on her knuckles. He made sure to be extra careful while he caressed them and the wounds on her palm. The door opened, causing Ramsay to finally look away, only to reveal the girl’s father. He sat up straight on his chair, facing the man, but didn’t let go of Emmie’s hand, their fingers still loosely laced together. Ramsay cleared his throat inaudibly before speaking up. “Hello.” He managed to keep his glare and frown away, hoping that maybe her father would accept him a bit more than her mother had. “Hi,” Peter said and swiftly closed the door behind himself. Ramsay gulped

It was nice waking up to someone knocking on your door and calmly telling you it was time to get out of bed.But it would take some time to get used to.Emmie slid out of bed and dragged her feet to the door, opening it in the process. She stared at an amused-looking Felix in the hallway. “Took you some time,” he said.The girl sighed and tiredly nodded. “Sorry.”The man frowned at the apology and shook his head. “You’re a teenager, Emmie, you might as well start acting like one.”The girl smiled when he turned around and started walking down the stairs. “Your breakfast is almost ready, hurry!” he said on his way.“Okay,” Emmie mumbled and walked to the bathroom.Getting dressed didn’t take as long as usual now that she didn’t have to worry about what would be accepted by her mother, and neither did the makeup that didn’t have to be as perfect. She bru

Beast sat on the leather couch in his private lounge, knee bouncing up and down nervously as his gold teeth clinked together in thought. His men were supposed to arrive every minute now, and he really hoped it was good news they brought. The knocks sounded before he could finish his thought, and the silent guard by the door suddenly yanked it open, bowing his head in respect at the three men that walked in. Beast didn’t stand when the men stopped in front of him and simply motioned to the couch facing him. The three took a seat and immediately handed the short man a bunch of photos, accompanied by a phone. “The girl was in the hospital,” one of them stated at first as Beast stared at the first picture of her and Ramsay hugging in the waiting room that had clearly been made from the parking lot. “Fuck,” the man cursed. “If something’s wrong with her, no one is going to pay us a single penny for that. What’s wrong with her?” “We don’t know,” ano

At school, everyone was talking about Halloween. The costumes the teenagers had worn the previous years were still somewhere on their attics or in the back of their closets, but none of those seemed to fit anymore, especially for the seniors. As kids, they had worn cute outfits that at that time for them seemed scary. But a seventeen-year-old couldn’t go trick-or-treating dressed as a strawberry anymore. No one would have taken them seriously, and it simply didn’t seem as fun anymore. So, as the underclassmen were talking in a frenzy about their sexy kitty cat and nurse outfits while the jocks would simply stay at home, too cool for any of it, the seniors were planning their outfits for their annual party. Jason Cooper had thrown a lot of parties back when in high school, and Olivia had always been included and allowed to bring a few of her friends. Then, when her brother left for college, she took over. This year was the first year Emmie woul
