" Dad, I really don't want your lecture right now." I whine, " I'm trying to have breakfast in peace."

" I support you being lawyer but I'm disappointed, son." He whines back.
I roll my eyes.

Sometimes during my dad's every morning lecture, I wonder how Ember's parents are like, does she get along with them? And like I don't know.

She has the highest grades in most of her classes so she must be that cousin.

I catch the my bus, Gina waves at me.
I sit with her like usual, and she seems to have a lot of Zeal today.

" Trevor, tell me about your bond with Ember so far I need to know." She jiggles my shoulders.
" All we do is fuck."
She pauses. " No we haven't done that yet just -"
I assure her.

" Just?" Her eyes are twinkling like a desperate puppy.

" I'm not going into Detail Gina, she doesn't want anything but a little physical intimacy." I groan.

Gina pauses for a bit, she side eyes me and smirks.
" You know what girls like, my man?" She says.

" Me."

She smacks my shoulder.
" Look I'm really in love with her, it's not a joke Gina."

" I'm giving you real advice bro." Gina plays with her hands.

" Girls love emotional bonds and love talking about themselves open up."

" I've been trying that!" I irritatingly remind her.

" Let me talk to her." She requests.

" Not a chance."

As we get out of the bus she keeps on insisting.

" Please."

" No."

" just trust me!"

" Not with her."

" oh I'll talk to her anyway."

" I'll kill you if you -"

" How Dare you?!"

We turn out at the sound of someone screaming.
It's Ember, screaming at Kevin or Helen or both I don't know.

You can see a few black tears on her face due to her make up.
Gina and me walk closer to the scene, we stand behind Ember.

Ember sighs, " You guys are cunts." She mutters and she turns to get away but she crashes into me and Gina.
Clearly she was unaware about our presence.

I wipe the tears on her face.
" What's wrong?" Gina holds her hand.
Ember shakes her head.
She isn't wearing her glasses today or for the past few weeks. Which makes me notice how beautiful her brown eyes really are, specially in sunshine.

Gina smirks and places Ember closer to me sneaking her way out.
" He called me a slut." She mumbles.
She crosses her arms and looks at the ground.
" He found out about our uh intimacy? And he was like you're such a whore for that. Like he never even held my hand and shit and guess what?"
She's speaking too fast and sobbing.

"Helen is pregnant."

My eyes widen.
" He said he didn't want to touch me because we had this traumatising past like what the hell is that supposed mean?" She yells and pushes my chest and walks away.

" Traumatising past?" I mumble.




" She's has a hard time in society." Claire takes sip of her drink.
Gina and me eye each other hoping she'd tell us more.

" Her body is earned making it sexier. It's not like she was chubby from the begging, it was Blake, Joanna, social media and a lot of other factors, which made her quite insecure." Claire pauses. " That's how she developed orthorexia nervosa, I mean she isn't diagnosed but she definitely showed signs."

"What exactly is her traumatising past?" Gina gets straight to the point.

" Blake and Dylan."

I hate both of those names.

" Who's Dylan?" I ask.
" He used to study here." Gina whispers to me. Gina turns back to Claire.
" What did Blake do?"

" Blake was quite protective towards Joanna. Joanna once got into a verbal fight with Ember and Joanna went too far. She interfered in her personal life. Ember got so mad, She blocked Blake, knowing Blake told her all her weaknesses."

Claire pauses for too long, as if she's the trauma patient.
" So this is her traumatising past?" Gina questions.
I tap the back of her head, obviously there's more to this.

" Apparently she had to unblock Blake And apologise but Blake didn't want a
Sorry we wanted her to undress herself and shit."

What the fuck? Gina notices my fist and she's quite shocked herself.

" He was about to force her or do it herself so she ended up punching him. And yet she was the one who was hurt more."

" He did that after knowing about Dylan?" Gina inquires. Gina knows about Dylan? Who is Dylan and what did he do, I really want Claire to tell me because I'm worried for her.

" Hey Claire." Ember shows up.
Ember looks at me.
" We won't be meeting anymore." She says with a smile which stabs me. Her tongue is one small pistol alright.

" Hot Pink looks nice on you." Claire tells her Ember smiles at her.
Claire is not wrong, Her pink sticky fabric crop top is the first thing I noticed about her.
She definitely has the perfect hourglass body.

Gina clicks her finger on my thigh indicating we should leave.

I don't want to force Ember on anything after knowing about Blake and Dylan definitely did something worse.

As we take off, I asked Gina.
" What did this Dylan dude do?"
