IvyI wake up on the floor with a throbbing head and a dry throat. I peel myself off the ground slowly so as not to provoke my headache even further and I reach for my room door to get a glass of water.I stagger out slowly, my vision still blurry from all the crying. Everything hurts and I'm still disoriented.I hear a door squeak open and before I can react a hand yanks me towards them. Everything happens within the speed of light and before I know it my face is inches away from Caden's and my back is pressed against his door.His blue eyes are dark and his hair is shaggier than usual making his appearance more intimidating than before. Almost like he's angry at someone, almost like he's angry at me.I freeze and my heart is pounding making my head explode from the unforgiving headache. I wince in pain shutting my eyes.I feel his hands caress my head and I open my eyes slowly. His eyes have softened and turned to a lighter shade of blue. They harbour worry as they pierce my eyes ju

IvyI breathe a sigh as I push the bathroom door open and walk in the empty hallway.I've been in there for a considerable amount of time trying to catch my breath and clean up myself so anyone who sees me will believe that I was in there for something important. I even flushed the empty toilet to effect just in case anyone was around.I hug myself trying to find the guilt I usually feel whenever I get too close to Caden but for some reason I can't find it. Not even the thought of Elias seems to change what I feel.Someone pulls me from behind clamping my mouth and my scream hangs in my throat and before I know it Caden's lips are pressed against mine.My back comes in contact with the door as it closes shut and my knees fail me but he catches me just in time as he presses his hand on my ass.I allow myself to suffocate in his kiss and I wrap my hands and his neck pulling him closer and he doesn't hesitate to deepen his kiss.His lips devour mine slowly as his hands move freely up and

IvyI look out my room balcony bored out of my mind. The sun has just set and a crowd of people who are supposedly mom's friends start troping in through the gates.This is crazy. I mean who hosts a baby shower at night?!I really don't want to be in the same room with mom's shitty friends but I know I can only hide here for so long.I here mom's high pitched voice and I know the chaos is about to happen.I roll my eyes peeling myself from the balcony and I head downstairs. Just as I had expected my mom's friends are all here, at least the ones I can remember.“Oh Ivy look how grown you've become, just take a look at those big boobs of yours” one of them exclaims and I immediately start to feel uncomfortable.This is one of the many reasons why I don't like them at all.“Oh stop it, those little things” mom says and they all laugh.What a great way to boost my body image mom.“Where's your husband?” One asks, the one I know to be Velma.“Oh he's right outside his G-wagon” mom says not

IvyI work my way through the piles of homework in front of me slowly, dreading each moment.Seriously if these professors don't stop giving us so much homework I'll literally just drown in them at this point.Not even the song of my favorite boy band blasting in my ears through my headphones seems to cheer me up from the situation I'm in.I stare at my laptop blankly not knowing where to start. This might take longer than I thought.Mom walks in wearing a black dress that seems a little too tight for a pregnancy bump with two other dresses in her hand.I push down my head phones from my ears not understanding what exactly is going on.“Which one would look better on me?” She asks “this one makes me look like a sack of potatoes so we already know it's a no”“Um okay…”“So we have this dress from Vera Wang” she says, showing me the sheer dress in her right hand “and this one from chanel” showing me a white midi dress.The white one seems more preferable so I point to it.“Alright then”

CadenI've been trying to get information on Elias for a while but as I dig deeper I'm beginning to notice that some information is leaving too many blank gaps. Way too many for the whole institution to ignore.“So how did he get this far without anyone suspecting him?” Von asks.“That's what I want to know and that's why I'm going to find out”I turn off my laptop and shove it into my bag.I'll continue tomorrow. The workload from working here has started getting to me.I sigh exhausted and drained as I start the engine. I just want to soak in a hot bath.The school begins to get out of view and I'm glad to just be in my way.I catch a glimpse of a car behind me. It's pace is slow but it's following me. I take another turn the wrong way to see if my suspicions are right and just as I expected they follow at a slow pace.“Looks like we've got company”I check my rare view mirror but suddenly can't find them.Was I wrong?“Caden watch out-”The impact catches me by surprise before I c
