"You're My Bitch Now."

Chapter 12

        That feeling where you do something so fucking stupid that you don't want to exist anymore. You just want to disappear. It's happening to me right now, but tenfold. I just want an earthquake to occur right now and the floor of Donovan's room to split apart and swallow me entirely, but of course nothing like that is going to happen. 

        I have to suffer through this. 

        My hand is still resting over Donovan's heart and much to my surprise, he's still knocked out. Layne waltzes in with a furious look on her flawless face. Her eyes are blazing and her red hair makes her look like a woman on fire, "Hello? I know you heard me, what are you doing to my boyfriend, you whore!?" She spats and I flinch, finally moving my hand away from Donovan's chest. 

        "H-he was drunk so I, um, I brought him up to his room and was just checking that he was still b-breathing. He collapsed and I was nervous, so I was just making s-sure." I stammer horribly and watch her laugh dryly. Dammit, Zaria, that was nowhere near convincing. 

        She crosses her arms, "You are such a horrible, lying little skank. You were going to kiss him. You're disgusting, he's your stepbrother!" She snaps and I blush horribly. Well, he's technically not my stepbrother because our parents aren't married yet. The wedding is coming soon though. 

        "I-I wasn't." I whisper and then gasp as she rushes up to me and smacks me hard across the cheek. Well damn, I actually should be furious right now, but I feel so trapped and caught that I'm stunned and accept the powerful hit. My cheek is stinging as I look up at her with blurry blue eyes. There's only one thing I can do at this moment, "Please don't say anything." I croak; tears dripping from my eyes. 

        She laughs softly, but her voice is still laced with anger, "You're asking me to keep a secret for you? After I walk in to find you about to completely take advantage of my drunk boyfriend??" She asks, trying to remain somewhat calm and I sniffle softly, then nod my head. I feel stupid, insanely stupid, but then again how could I not at this moment?

        "I wasn't trying to take advantage of him. I just, got caught up in the moment and--" 

        "What fucking moment? Donovan doesn't want you! I'm the longest relationship he's ever been in and we're good as gold. He loves me and although he hasn't said it yet, he will and that leaves you with nothing. You will not fuck up what we have with your pathetic crush. You're an attention seeking slut and it serves you right that that nineteen year old guy was cheating on you with someone his age! Now look at you, trying to pounce on a helpless guy who doesn't want you one bit. You're disgusting, Zara and I hate you. Why would I keep this from Donovan?" She asks angrily and I stand up shakily, coming face to face with her. 

        This is so humiliating, "Because he'll kill me if he finds out. I'm sorry, after today's events I just felt a little vulnerable and he made me feel better by taking me out to bowling and I..." 

        "What? Thought he had a thing for you? Don't flatter yourself." She scoffs, looking me up and down like a disgusting work of art. A sob escapes my mouth and I cover it quickly, then look back to Layne as she pouts and makes a sympathetic groan, "Sweetheart, it's okay. I know Donovan is very attractive and hard to resist, even if he does treat you like shit. I'll tell you what... I'll keep this between you and me." She says gently and I look up at her with tears still falling. 

        I hiccup, "You will?" I ask hopefully and she nods. 

        "Oh yes, under one condition." She puts up a finely painted finger and I nod weakly; at this point, wanting to do any and everything in order to keep this attempting to kiss Donovan while he's drunk thing, completely in the safe. Layne's sympathetic look turns to one of pure evil and excitement.
