Zöe:

He kissed me before I had the chance to decide whether or not to pull away.

And I was pleasantly surprised.

I expected him to be rough and firm and tense. But he was nothing like that. He was soft, gentle and sweet. Holding me like I was something fragile, that he was scared to break.

Kissing him was pleasant.

It was so pleasant that I almost didn't realise that it was also very, very...

Wrong.

It was wrong.

I shouldn't be doing this. I shouldn't.

I wasn't kissing him because I was insanely in love with him. I was kissing him because I didn't want to hurt his feelings, and it was nice...

But that was wrong.

So that's why I pulled away, and took a step back from him- wiping my mouth with the back of my hand.

Concern and hurt filled Danny's eyes.

“Did I... Did I do something wrong?” He whispered, his face flushed.

“Oh no, Danny, no- it's just...” I took his hand. But didn't know what else to say. How could I say this to his face?

But then I didn't have to, because Clarisse burst out of her room. Even though I hadn't even seen her go in... She looked startled. “You better get in here Jackson,” she said, sounding a lot like her own daughter. “That boy of yours is kinda in a bad shape.” I didn't even reply, I didn't even look at Danny, as I darted into the room and flung open the door.

To see Damien sitting on the floor, his eyes just a lighter shade of red than the blood staining his cut and bruised hands.
