"But as my wife, you are admired." I quickly press the button to retrieve the elevator and when it opens I pull her in and take her lips aggressively pressing her against the wall. "Mm baby." "You have a way with words you know that."

"I...I..uh..am straight " came out my stutter. Gee Es can you be more embarrassing,I scolded mentally. "Oh yeah,then why does your heart beat so fast around me" Athena whispered in my ear sending shivers straight to my core. I kept biting my lower lip, holding my breath,wishing the ground could open up and swallow me whole. "This is going to be fun" I heard Athena mutter under her breath as she walked away from me.

"Why don't you want people to know about us?" Harper asked me as she stepped closer to me. I looked away from her eyes and bit my lip nervously, not knowing the answer to her question. "Is it because you don't want people to know that you like the girl that reads books at lunchtime?" I looked up at her with my eyebrows frowned in confusion "you read books at lunchtime-" She cut me off "no it's an exaggeration- that's not even the point" I swallowed nervously, noticing the anger in her voice "I don't know what to tell you, I'm just confused" Harper kept towering over me considering she's very tall "what? I fucked you and you liked it, right?" I felt my breathe being caught up in my throat at her statement that is so very true. "Then what's there to be confused about?" --- This story will include: (warnings) -detailed sexual content -sexual assault/harassment -alcohol abuse -violence -alcohol, drugs, weed etc. -family issues

No one hated each other as much as Tyler Murphy and Hazel Parker, every glance a slow, venomous burn. Yet beneath the surface, something deeper pulled them in, something they consumed in bitter, silent doses. It wasn't the hatred that destroyed them-it was the poison they couldn't stop sipping. The poison of love.

Sometimes we're not even fully aware of how similar hate and love really are. How closely they sit together, how thin the line is between them. One wrong word, one wrong choice, one moment of fear or anger, and you cross it without even realizing you've done so. That's how it had alwags been with Casey Miller and Olivia Lordan. They didn't hate each other for no reason. There were reasons, plenty of them, actually. Old wounds that never healed right, memories that calcified instead of fading, words spoken too young and carried for too long. But were those reasons valid enough? That was the question no one ever asked out loud. Because validity is subjective. Pain doesn't measure itself against intent. Trauma doesn't care how old you were, or what you meant to do. It just exists, heavy and unrelenting, shaping you whether you want it to or not. Everyone has flaws. Everyone has demons they fight in private. Some people turn inward and rot quietly. Some people explode. Some people run. Some people stay and harden. None of it is clean, and none of it is fair. And maybe that was the cruelest part for them. Not the hate. Not the anger. Not even the silence. But the fact that, once upon a time, it had been love, or something dangerously close to it, and that was what made everything else hurt so much more.
