The Change||Damon Torrance

VI

Present

The hot water warmed my cold body. I was taking a shower in the fencing room. This is not really a sport. I was rinsing the shampoo out of my hair when I heard the door open and close again "I'll be done in a few minutes, Rika!" I shout at Rika but she doesn't answer. How strange. Only she and I were the only girls in the fencing club. And then I see Will joining me in the shower. I was frozen. He gets under the shower. Why the hell did he come in in the canbin with me. It's true, these cabins are very spacious.

I laugh lightly "I didn't expect to make a shower with you." I tell him and I see his green eyes fixed on me. He's exploring me with his eyes. We were both naked. I wasn't so ashamed, it's not like he hasn't seen tits and pussys,it's Will Grayson,he saw it.

l smiles and puts my wet hair behind my ear. We were both standing under the shower "I always thought you were a annoying girl." he says to me and I smile.I like when I'm annoying.Will was always my favorite of all. He had the best vibe and made you feel good. I look at him for a few moments "You'll get it in the end!" I tell him and he raises an eyebrow, confused. "The girl."

I tell him and he realized what I mean. I haven't seen Will with a girlfriend never, he fucked half of the girls in high school but he doensn't have only one girl, a relationship. "Maybe it wasn't time then, maybe it will be in the future." I tell him and smile a little. "Have you ever talk with her?" he asks me and I agree. "When I was a sophomore and she was a junior. She helped me do a volunteer job." I answer and he seems lost in thought. It's true, Elysia Bailey (the character invented by me who will have her own book together with Will) was a star in high school. All the boys wanted her. Now, as far as I know, she's around Los Angeles with modeling.

"And she helped me with something," I continued and caught the Will'attention, who was curious. "I don't want to say." I tell him and he frowns. "Only a few, very few people know. It's not about her, keep calm ." I tell him, but he still had curiosity on his face. I really didn't want to remember and relive those moments.

"Did something happen to you?" he asks me and I look back. Please don't cry. He grabs my chin, forcing me to look him in the eyes. "What happened?" he asks me and I hesitate to answer."Alekseeva, at least say thank you for talking to you after what you did to me and the others." he says between his teeth, a little angry. I don't understand. What the hell did I do to them?

"What did I do to you?I didn't do anything to any of you. You and the other almost raped me that evening in the library." I answer and he sighs "We didn't want to rape you. We wanted to scare you." he answers me and I snort "Yes, of course" I say ironically and he becomes serious.

"But you betrayed us" he tells me and I didn't understand what he was referring to. "How did I betray? I don't understand." I say to him and I see how a nerve almost pops in him. "Fuck! Posting those videos on the internet, bitch" he rushes to me and I stare at him. What did he say? I post the videos with them? That's what they think ?That I posted them? I don't say anything for a moment, I just stare, shocked at him "That's what you think? You and the boys. Like I posted? Why would I do something like that?"

"The videos appeared the night we scared you. You had my purse. After you left, we took Rika to scare her and she left with my hoodie on her." he tells me nervously and I look confused and a little nervous. How could he believe that I was the one who filmed him?

"Do you know how to knock?" Michael shouted at me when I showed up in his penthouse. "Where's Damon?" I ask Michael and I see a smile appear on his face "Do you already miss him?" Michael tells me in a funny tone but I'm quite serious. How can Damon think that I helped Rika publish the videos? "What do you want?" I hear Damon's voice coming from the basketball court. "You really think I posted the videos?" I take him directly and he approaches me.

He doesn't answer me but he's standing a millimeter away from me. God, how handsome he can be. Tall, muscular and damn beautiful. "I didn't post the clips and neither Rika did." I say and he snorts "You lie!" he says and takes a step towards me, I already reaching the wall. Michael was grinning from the couch watching the whole scene. I look into his black eyes. I'm going crazy.

"Then who posted them? They certainly didn't post themselves." he says ironically and I roll my eyes and push him. I pass by him and stand in the middle of the living room looking at both Damon and Michael. "What reason do I have to post the clips?" I ask and Michael sighs "That Damon didn't fuck you." Michael answers me and I roll my eyes.

"We're all idiots." I hear Kai's voice coming from Michael's basketball court. I look confused at Kai "What are you talking about?" I hear Damon and Kai sighs "Eva left until you fuck Winter and film her. There was no way for her to publish the footage because the phone we used to film the nonsense wasn't in Will's purse." Kai says  and I prefer not to comment. At least he believes me. Michael changes face just like Damon.

"Next time you want to hate a person, make sure you're not wrong." I say as I leave the penthouse. What idiots . They hate me so much for what? "We're sorry!" I hear Kai's voice when I left Michael's penthouse. I turn around and see him coming towards me." I think that's your opinion!" I answer harshly and he raises his eyebrows "I don't care what others say. I know you're not guilty. Neither Rika." he tells me and I prefer not to say anything. I don't believe him.

I think that from now on I prefer to keep my distance from them. I don't know how I will succeed, all living at Delcour, but I will try to ignore them. If it doesn't work out, then I will look for another place to stay. The deeper I get into the interactions with them, the more they make me feel strange. I can't say it's a displeasing feeling, but I prefer to mind my own business.

I don't say anything to Kai anymore, I just turn to him and go down to the floor where I'm staying with Rika. I enter the apartment and see her stressed "What's going on?" I ask her and when she sees me she comes rushing towards me "She don't answer me!" she says to me and I raise an eyebrow "Who?" I ask and she runs her hand through her blonde hair "Mom! She's in the middle of the ocean and she's not answering the phone!" she tells me and I try to control my laughter.

"You just said she is in the middle of the ocean. It's possible that she doesn't have signal." I say to her and she shakes her head "Damn it." she says and I see her hurrying out of the apartment. I realized that it is possible that this situation has something to do with Horseman.
