Kings Conquer (ON HOLD)

4 ♛ run for the hills

Different.

That's how I've felt over this last month.

So much has happened...I can't even begin to explain.

It all just happened so fast.

But to say things are getting a bit better and I'm slowly coming to terms with everything would be a lie.

I'm fucking devastated.

But I shouldn't be.

I've always been a strong believer that karma will always come back and bite you in the ass.

Whether you're on your deathbed or happily strolling across the street, karma has a funny way of sneaking up on you.

Even though the girls and I agreed we wouldn't go through with any of this, part of me felt like this whole shit show was still going to happen.

That night, after the ball I fully planned on telling Beckett everything.

I felt like he should have known.

I didn't want our relationship to be built off of a lie.

But obviously, I never got the chance to do that.

I haven't spoken to him since that night.

Yes, he came to see me that night.

After taking the longest shower of my life which mostly consisted of me crying, I finally wrapped myself in my robe and walked out of my bathroom.

I don't even make it two steps before a hand wraps around my mouth and a familiar woody scent hits me.

"Don't say anything." He whispers and I quickly nod.

He slowly lets go and I can't even get myself to turn around and face him.

I'm fucking mortified!

But a part of me is also pissed as fuck because he told the world about my mother!

I can't even begin to explain how many DMS came in of people blaming me for my mother's death.

I already know it's my fault and now the whole world does too.

"Really? Now you can't even look at me, Naomi? Are you fucking serious?!" He yells and I flinch at his tone.

I let out a shaky breath before turning around to face him.

He looks...destroyed.

He's wearing a pair of sweats and a hoodie, his eyes bloodshot like mine.

His hood is up, giving me a minimal view of his face but I can feel his eyes all over me.
