Indulgent: having or indicating a tendency to be overly generous to or lenient with someone. It took me four years to stop being a hypersensitive, angelic pet. I met someone who changed me to something unrecognizable, untouchable. It turned me into what your parents warned you about. A thief, a junkie, a failure, a disobedient chaos. Someone who had no problems ruining someone else's day, or year. Which is relieving, I got to give away some payback. I got to ruin the ones who ruined the hypersensitive girl I used to be. But that payback got me in the place your parents didn't even knew existed. A hospital disguised as a jail for kids like me, with trauma, jaw-dropping criminal records, and unsolved emotions that lead to revelry. At first I swore I wouldn't change, but soon enough I was turning back to the girl I buried, turning tears to screams. I met another who I have yet to know wether he's to break me or put me back together. Something I knew he was here for? To make us Indulgent. cover by LunaBooks1403

[Edited] "You had to be extremely low on cash to wank into a cup for it," Dani sneered, feeling like a vindictive bully in a playground. But Carlo deserved it. She felt the first sharp stab of fear that went through her heart when Carlo looked at her with thunder in his eyes. "What are you going to do now? Kill me?" she continued. Fingering the 9mm in her back pocket, she remembered that she'd never even shot the damn thing, despite her brothers' pleas to teach her. Carlo's shadow blanketed her. "Kill you?" His brow furrowed. "Do you really think that lowly of me, cara? I'm wounded." "Then what the hell do you want?" His face flashed with a look she barely recognised - pure arousal. Even when he reached out and pulled her to him, she could feel it. "I realised that the mother of my child is more of a spitfire than I thought." His lips brushed her earlobe. "Call me a pyromaniac." *cover by @bullethood*
