When young Akari Ellis is told that she was gonna have to move in with the one boy she dreads most, she has no clue what to think. He was just some cocky, stuck up, perfect, rich, hot, smart boy who went to her school. But that all changes when she moves in with him.
"Hey, uh, Akari!" He yells from downstairs. I gulp. He never calls me by my name... He's always uses creepy nicknames. But this...? This is just creepy...
Slowly, I walk down the stairs, looking around the dining room. After seeing he wasn't in there, I walking out and into the living room. Still, I didn't see him. "Where are you-" but I'm cut off.
He slams me into the wall, holding me still. One of his legs were inbetween my thighs, a little too high for my liking, while the other rest against the wall. Both of his hands holding my wrist above my head. My eyes widen as I stare at him.
He smirks. "What's wrong, Akari? I could have sworn you got jealous when you caught me kissing Carly." He hisses. His face was so close to mine, I could feel his breath on my lips. Along with the smell...
His breath held the smell of alcohol. It smelled horrible. "You're drunk." I growl, trying to pull away. He only laughed. And laughed. Damn... This guy is such a prick... He can go to hell for all I care.
Then it hit me. I knew what I had to do. And this was my only chance of actually being let go today. And I had to do it. And I pray that it'll work. God.. Please be with me in this. I took a deep breath.
"Ethan...."
