Chelsie POV

School on Monday was fun.

As with every day, I walked into the school hand in hand with Theo.

I was just a normal girl with normal friends who were on the road to graduation.
Yep.

Sure, there was that stuff about the secret organization I was part of and the whole 'I'm in hiding' thing- but eh.

Right now I was focusing on getting the most out my relationship with Theo that I could.
After all, we would only be able to see each other occasionally after he left for collage.

Basically every breathing moment I spent with him.
Either at his house, my house, Olivia's mansion, or the mall. Sometimes a coffee shop.

We would text until late hours of the night.
Yulia tried to get me to have some time by myself and not be "totally infatuated with that boy" but I didn't see the harm in us being together.

"Gracie? Your history homework?" Mrs. Garcia spoke up from the front of the classroom.
I cleared my head and pulled out my homework, handing it in.
Okay, maybe my mind was a little too occupied with Theo.

I focused on school work for the rest of the day and breathed a sigh of relief when the bell rang.
Olivia had dance so I was going home with Theo.

"Hey kids, how was school?" Theo's mom asked as we walked through the door.

I held back a laugh.
Stereotypical parent question.

"It was fine, Mom. I'm hungry though." Theo sat down on a barstool and I sat next to him.
His mom rolled her eyes.
"Teenagers. Always hungry."

But of course she gave us food anyway.

I took thanked her and took the bag of potato chips up to Theo's room, plopping down on the edge of his bed and taking a bite of one.

Theo followed me, closing the door behind himself and locking it.

I was wearing a simple white crop top with black leggings.
I caught Theo looking at me and smiled at him.

He stretched. "It's hot in here... isn't it?"

Not really. It was kinda cold.

He peeled his shirt off, exposing his admirable physique.
I stared at his abs.
A voice inside me was telling me was telling me something was off. Something wasn't right. I silenced it.

Theo advanced towards me, in a way he had never done before.
He lifted me onto his lap, his hands on my waist.
My breath quickened. "W-what are you doing?"

"Don't I get to kiss my girlfriend?"
He leaned forward and caught my mouth in his.
I melted into the kiss, senseless as he flipped me over on the bed, his body trapping mine under it.

His hands snuck under my shirt, unclasping my bra.
I broke away from the kiss. "Theo I'm not-"
"Shut up."
"But-"
"I said shut up." He growled.

I shivered, shutting up and doing what I was best at.
Letting someone else take me and do things to me.

•••

My phone rung yet again.
Theo scowled.

"I'm sorry. I-I have to take this." I stammered.

It was Yulia.
"Dinner is ready. You said you'd be home twenty minutes ago."

I glanced at the clock. 6:00pm.
"I'm on my way." I lied, hanging up.

I slipped off the bed and quickly fixed my hair and makeup, and clothes.
I wanted to take a shower.
Wash all of this off me.
Wash him off me.

Theo was watching me with a unfamiliar look in his eyes.
The look of a predator.
It scared me.
Correction- it terrified me.

Theo smirked. "Come over Friday."

It wasn't a question, a suggestion, or an invitation. It was a demand.

I backed away. "Um... I..."

Something in his eyes hardened.
His voice was low and menacing. "You don't really want to do this, Gracie. I can ruin your reputation, your life, and you."

I swallowed.
I was so incredibly stupid.
I should have listened to Yulia.
Yulia saw past Theo's act.
Why didn't I listen to her?

"I-I can fit that into my schedule," I murmured softly.

Theo smirked and planted a kiss on my mouth, yet there was nothing sweet about it.
He had gotten what he wanted.

He hadn't been what he seemed...
But it was too late.

I was trapped.

•••
🙈sorry to everyone who liked Theo...

So yeah.
I bet this was kinda unexpected? I don't know.
But it's a necessary evil.

Um... don't kill me?
