There is nothing more beautiful than watching an innocent angel fall apart at my sinful actions. I'm going to ruin her.
"Augustine."
And she comes, looking down at me as she does so.
She glows, lighting up the goddamn room. Her feet barely touch t...

I shove my clothes into my bag while I wait for Amaiah to pick up my call.
"Hey, what's up, buttercup?"
"Can I come stay at your place for a bit?" I ask her, trying not to throw something across the room. I've never been this pissed off in a long time. And every time I touch my lips, I can still feel him there.
"Yeah of course! Did anything happen?" she asks, being the concerned friend she is.
But do I tell her the truth?
"Sort of...I just don't want to be here anymore," I tell her, "and thank you, you're a lifesaver."
"Don't worry about it. My door is always open, and my mom is gone for the week on business. We can have a girls night!"
"Okay sounds good, I'll be over in about 10," I tell her, and she says bye before hanging up.
I can't stand to be in this house another minute. I grab my bag, make sure my brother is still sleeping, and turn off my location on my phone. I don't need anybody following me.
I'm so confused. I don't know why I kissed Eros, but I know what I felt when I did. It felt so right and so wrong at the same time. And the way my body reacted to him...I would give anything to feel him against me again.
But I know that's not going to happen. I never lied when I said I don't think he's a bad person. I think in his heart, there's something different. He's just a kid, just like me, and has to live his life so dangerously to survive.
I just wonder what made him change his mind so quickly. Maybe I shouldn't have kissed him. Maybe he's right, and maybe this was a mistake.
God, I'm so stupid.
And he suffocated my mind.
I pull up outside Amaiah's house, and when I walk up to the door, she's already there to open it.
She has her arms out, and I drop everything in my hands and hug her, finding my peace in my best friend's embrace.
"What happened, Amorette?" She keeps me at arms-length, observing the look on my face.
"I kissed Eros," I admit, speaking faster than my brain can keep up with. Her jaw drops, but she doesn't judge. She just looks really shocked.
Oh no.
"Did you mean to?" she asks, tilting her head. I give her an unimpressed look.
"Yes, I meant to," I state, "And it was so good, Amaiah. I can't even explain it..."
"Okay, spare me the details," she holds her hand up with a grimace. "So... how is this bad?"
"He told me it was a mistake, and to forget it ever happened. Then he drove off without saying anything else," I expressed. She shakes her head, muttering a curse.
