"So Alice, Blair told me you graduated at sixteen, that's really impressive I must say." Sarah said as we started to fill our plates with ham, green beans, potatoes and everything else that filled the air with an intoxicating aroma
I tightened my grip on Blair's hand under the table nervously "Yeah, I graduated at sixteen and then went onto college before doing my student teaching."
So far I had avoided the topic of her being my student but it seemed like Sarah was going to keep pressing until it became the discussion.
"When did you start teaching here?" Sarah asked curiously
I nervously smiled over at her "Just this year."
"I'm sorry I don't mean to make you nervous, I'm just curious is all." Sarah said before taking a bite of ham
"You're totally fine," I smiled awkwardly "thank you so much for having me over, everything is delicious."
"You're welcome anytime and t
~1 Week Ago~The room was spinning around me but even as I walked it didn't feel real. The lights seemed scattered throughout the air rather than strung along the ceiling like usual but I downed the last of my drink anyway. I dropped my cup mindlessly and shuffled through the crowd before stumbling up the stairs that seemed steeper than Mount Everest to me at the time."Hey there." A deep voice said as a figure approachedI looked up recognizing the icy blue eyes of Parker Daniels but my vision made it difficult to process him through the daze I was in."Parker," I slurred out happily pulling him into a hug "how have you been bud?"He chuckled lowly hugging me back a little tighter than I would have liked "I'm a lot better now."I forced myself out of his arms and looked up at him "Why is that?""You're here," he smirked, his eyes seeming to scan me up and down "and
She was frozen for almost twenty minutes, unresponsive before she even noticed me rubbing her back and trying to talk to her."Don't touch me, please, don't do this, please just leave me alone." She screamed pulling her knees to her chest and sobbingIt broke my heart to see her like this but I removed my hand at her request. I wanted to be able to comfort her in some way but that didn't seem possible at this moment. I noticed her phone and quickly grabbed it before sliding the lock and scrolling through her contacts.I found Callies and clicked it hearing a few rings before her response came through the speaker "Merry Christmas Blair!""It's Alice, I'm so so sorry I know it's Christmas but I really need your help." I rambled out still looking over at Blair who continued to sob relentlessly"What happened?" She asked, concern and confusion evident in her voiceI sighed "I'll explain
~5 Days Later~We hadn't left Alice's house all week, at my request. I hated feeling this way, I hated the look on Alice's face when I rejected her touch, but I hated the panic attacks most. They had finally stopped two days ago but my anxiety was still at a record high. For years I tried to pass it off as something else, anything other than rape, but now I just felt like an idiot for not realizing sooner. I felt weak and empty, like the mugs I had shattered on the floor days ago. Alice had managed to keep me calm despite my state and I was grateful for her now more than ever. She was so patient with me and hadn't tried to touch me since the incident in the kitchen. There were times where she would accidentally and I would always jerk back defensively but it wasn't because of her. I could vaguely remember our conversation now and I mentally slapped myself for lining myself up for her to ask me that question. It was stupid of me to even bring up sex in the first plac
~Monday Afternoon~"Good afternoon Miss Collins." I said nodding with a slight smile at her as she entered the roomI greeted the other students until the bell rang and then ran inside to get everyone's scattered attention. Getting students back on track after a break is a literal pain in the ass might I add."Good afternoon everyone, I hope you all had a great Winter break because we have a lot to get through this half of the year." As I paused I heard a few groans that made me hold back an eye roll "Today we are going to be doing a class project all together.""Is that even a thing?" Paisley asked from the second row laughing with a few of the people around her"It is today, form a circle." I stated before turning to my desk to get the papersThe rest of class went pretty smoothly, if you count not finishing and everyone fucking off the whole time as smooth that is. Blair slowly p
She took no time complying with my demand and I quickly climbed on top of her. She kissed me hard and I ran my hands down her body, stopping at her hips.I broke the kiss and smirked down at her "I missed seeing you like this."Before she could reply I bent down and started kissing her neck leaving a dark hickey just before the collar of her shirt and then made quick work of her clothes. She wasn't satisfied being the only one naked so she basically tore my dress off, not that I'm upset. I kissed down her body feeling her soft skin against my fingertips as I moved them to her tits. I squeezed them and then went to work on her nipples while kissing along her waistline receiving a desperate moan from her.She looked down at me, her eyes glazed over with lust "Please fuck me baby you're driving me crazy."I smirked and ran my hand down her body before licking her clit once receiving a soft moan. I moved down further an
My brother had been found dead a few towns over, shot and left like nothing. All these years I had avoided visiting him out of fear but now I just wished I could've seen him one last time. Even after everything he was still my brother and I loved him unconditionally. I wanted to be able to tell him that, to laugh with him like we did as kids. I wanted to hold his hand and comfort him the way no one probably had since he went to prison. I looked at the photograph of us when we were children and smiled at the goofy grin on his young face. His hair was messy, covering his green eyes that back then were still filled with dreams and happiness. I closed my eyes, laying back and letting my head hit the pillow with the picture wrapped tightly in my arms. I hadn't cried until now, I had tried holding it all in but it was no use, murderer or not he was my brother.~The Next Day~I had woken up with the picture still tightly wrapped in my arms, my eyes red and
~Friday Afternoon~We had packed everything into Alice's car and drove a few hours before arriving at her mother's house. Alice had debated back and forth on getting a hotel but apparently her mom had insisted we stay with her. She had told her mom I was coming but I don't think she mentioned the fact that we're dating yet which had my nerves on end. She promised that we'd leave and find a hotel if things went too badly but I was still extremely anxious for this trip. I was surprised that Alice was letting me come with her since I had never met her family before. I honestly figured I wouldn't meet them until after I graduated but Alice was persistent that she wanted me there. We pulled onto a road with giant houses all painted white with the same aesthetics decorating them. It was a nice community and I could only imagine how much a house around here would cost. Alice had never struck me as the rich type but as we pulled into one of the driveways it was pretty clear
~The Next Day~We were the first to arrive at the funeral home, I had yet to make my way up to the front yet. My mom has decided to cremate him due to how he died and not wanting anyone to see him like that. I agreed with her and was thankful for it because I do not want to remember him like that, I want to remember my brother who I loved when we were younger.~10 Years Ago~"Braiden slow down!" I yelled after him trying to pedal my bike fast enough to keep up with himHe turned looking back at me and laughed "Come on slowpoke we're almost there."We had rode our bikes across town to go swimming at the local spot we had found a year or so ago. When we finally got to the bank of the creek we threw our bikes down and ran into the cold water laughing."See I told you it'd be worth it." He grinned splashing meI laughed and splashed him back "You were right, it's so hot
