“I’ll be back soon” I mimicked myself while pulling up to the school “well I fucking lie all the time anyway, whats one more” I shrugged a little annoyed, knowing that the guys would find the need to question me but all I wanted to do was lock myself away. Groaning at the thought I pulled into the parking space where I needed to be and turned off the car, the parking area was left in complete silence after that, barely even a buzzing sound from a light was heard. Checking the time I saw it was already around ten thirty, which meant they were all still probably awake waiting to question me about my disappearance and what it is I do for work. Avoiding could cause issues, but all I want right now is peace and quiet and a damn shower, reluctantly I get out of my car locking it behind me and begin my trek up to our dorm room. Dread filled my body after I made it up to the dorm and I stood outside looking at the door, I could just rush to my bedroom right? “I don’t know when she’s comi
“Amara get up” I heard a gruff voice causing me to groan and attempt to turn “Amara now” the voice bellowed and my body jumped in fear and I fell down onto the ground, the concrete roughly scraping against my body. I let out a groan, my hands moving to push me up and I felt the ache in my bones before looking around. I was in the room again, the plain white concrete walls surrounding me as I squint from the brightness. “I see you enjoy the upgrade” the man chuckled and I turned back, his tall stature was looming over my small frame, I felt tired, every part of me was filled with dread as I looked at him. “Well my dear niece, your father wished me to send you a happy birthday” he said with a smirk etching itself into his face. The look was almost inhuman and I pushed myself up off of the floor, my baggy, shredded clothing falling over my tatterned body. “Happy twelfth birthday honey” he said in a sickly sweet tone, the man in front of me was one I used to trust but over time everyt
“Schools in an hour and a half, everyone get up” I heard Jace yell out and then a bang in the kitchen “shit” I heard a grumble from out there and I winced as my alarm started to ring causing me to reach over and press the off button. “I don't want to” Ru grumbled and I laughed as he looked up at me with annoyance in his eyes. “Well, we have to and I need to get up, I’m hungry” I said with a small pout but he shook his head, his arms pulling me further into him in a tight grip and I fought back a smile that wanted to escape my lips. Moving my hand down I move it through his hair and I feel his body completely relax into mine. I never thought he’d ever want to be this close to me. Part of me wanted to rip it apart and destroy whatever trust he suddenly had in me but another part wanted to hold onto it while I could have it. Some day soon it would be gone and I would be on my own again, no feelings like this because they’ll be dead and I’ll be free and in complete and total control o
By the time lunch came around my mood had begun to drain but I still had some excitement for my literature class I would have after lunch. "Ready to go" Sofia asked and I nodded with a smile. "Yeah, but I'll meet you; I'm gonna use the restroom first" I said before walking off down the hall, stopping, I dropped my bag down onto the floor before walking to the sink and splashing some water on my face. Checking through and outside of the bathroom I find it secluded before I pick up my phone calling Jake "hey boss" I heard him say from the other side of the phone. "Have you found Alexander, and did you get what I sent you last night?” I asked not even fully greeting him and I heard a small laugh from the other end. "Wow straight to the point gotcha" he joked before I heard typing from the other end "I'll send you everything I have right now and Alexander is still MIA" he said and I let out a growl. "I'll call you in a few days when I get him" he stated confidently and I l took in a
"Hey" I said and Ella looked at me in surprise. "Who knew you'd be a cheerleader too" she said kinda excited before nudging Naomi who was looking off to the side next to her. "I don't wanna be here" Naomi stated and I laughed at how blunt and annoyed she looked. "I get that feeling" I stated and she brightened up a bit. "Thank god, you got forced into this too" she said and I nodded and Sofia gasped. "That makes a bit more sense" she said and then I let out a gasp this time in mock pain while I put my hand over my chest. "How mean" I said in a small voice causing them to laugh as they watched me before the coach walked in. "Girls, today you're getting your uniforms" she yelled out and I looked around a bit confused. "No tryouts" I ask and Naomi laughs. "Have you cheered before?" she asked and I let out a sigh. "A few years ago, please don't tell anyone" I said in a hushed tone, it was something my mother had forced on me and I hope none of those dreaded ass memories come bac
I was laying in my bed when Link stormed into my room causing me to sit up and stare at him in utter confusion. I hadn’t talked to any of them in the last few hours and for what I knew most of them had left talking about getting dinner and setting up a movie tonight. Honestly I didn’t know anyone had stayed home, but here he was staring at me now “I thought about what you said” he stated and my eyebrows furrowed, what exactly was this dude going on about right now. “And you know what I’d like to say I know you quite a bit just without you realizing” his voice came out defensive and I just nodded slowly. “Alright” I whispered and he threw his arms up. “That’s all I get” he exclaimed and I laughed, genuinely at the annoyance on his face “you know we never spend time together anymore” he said and I went silent. “You have a point” I said, nodding a bit and he hummed, nodding a bit and starting to pace back and forth in front of my bed once again “Link calm down” I said softly while w
About half-way through the movie he cleared his throat before trailing his fingers up my arm before he was soft to question me “Amara are you going to hate me if I keep talking bad about Blondie” he asked and I looked up at him from my lying position on his chest slightly annoyed. “Out of all things you want to talk about Sofia right now” I asked annoyed and he let out a sigh before diverting his eyes from mine “really Link” I sighed sitting up while shaking my head a bit “I thought the arguments earlier were enough” I complained. “Sorry, it's just I don’t like her” he said and I waited before he leaned his head on my back “I don’t like that she gets to touch you when I can’t” he whispered and I felt my tense body relax a bit, he sounded so defeated as he spoke. “You're on me right now” I stated but I felt him shake his head. “You know that’s not what I meant Amara” he stated and I stayed silent waiting for him to continue and I feel his hands travel up and down my side his head m
"Perfect" I whispered while pulling down the paint brush and smiling softly looking at how the brush strokes fanned across the canvas together. "Amara" I heard a gasp from behind me and when I looked back I saw Sofia. Her eyes were wide and her lips were parted as she stared at my painting from over my shoulder. "What's wrong?" I asked and she shook her head before a large smile took over her face. "It's absolutely beautiful" she whispered, looking over at me and making eye contact "you're very talented Amara" she said and the praise made me sit up a bit higher with a large genuine smile. "Thank you Sofia" I whispered before looking down and she quickly grabbed me from behind. "Do you think we could do some sessions together, just us?" she asked in a whisper next to my ear in an almost seductive tone causing my body to want to revolt away from her touch. "Yeah of course, I don't really know when though" I said with a laugh pretending to be oblivious but the strongest part of me
