"It's a long story." 

He wouldn't look at me. Roman Anderson- the boy I had loved. Past tense. The only feeling I possessed for him right now was hate. A burning emotion that left a bitter taste in my mouth. 

"You let me think, no you led me to think, that you were dead. For a whole year. I have time." I noted coldly, willing him to swallow his feckless cowardice and for God's sake look at me. 

When he did, I forced myself to meet his steady gaze. His expression was fathomless; a stark contrast to the way he used to wear his heart readily on his sleeve. I stared back, unwilling to look away. 

"It's complicated."

"Give me a reason then." The boy demanded, eyes fuelled by a rage that was not unknown to him. "What?" Emmett questioned. "Give me a reason, tell me a lie, that contradicts to what you feel for me and I swear to you, I'd leave you alone." "I don't feel anything for you." Emmett easily lied, ignoring the ache in his heart at his words. "Not good enough." Emmett lashed out, shaking with agony as he had never known as his voice quivered pathetically, "I look at you and I see my world-shattering into these despicable shards of audaciousness that reflect my only desires, otherwise deemed unworthy by the universe. This is what I truly feel for you." "Is that what you really feel for me, darlin'?" "Yes and don't call me that, my name is-" "I don't care what your name is, just answer me."

Prepare to live. Prepare to die. And mostly prepare to fall in love. An age old High school, a seemingly age old forbidden romance. But will it remain as typical when life for Yrene Jones seems to be taking a new turn every passing second? Read to follow Yrene's journey as she tackles the obstacles through and through. Prepare yourself for the most epic love triangle since the Salvatore brothers and Elena Gilbert; prepare yourself for Yrene Jones, Jason Dawfield and Chase Drew. Cheers! *excerpt* "Answer me goddamit!" He sounded pained and enraged but I too was not going to fall for his shit. Ignoring the sparks I still felt shooting where my arm connected with his hand I backed into the wall. "Why the fuck do you care Chase? Huh? What is it to you if I live or die? Why can't you let me be?" I screamed this at him in a rush of fury, not realising how the gap between us had minimised to zero and how our angry bodies were almost touching, our faces inches apart. "I don't know why I fucking care Yrene, but I do!" He sounded so pained and broken, as if every word was an effort, "So let me care for you! Let me help you get through whatever it is you're facing! You're not fucking alone in this, look around you for once! There are people who care for you! I care for you!" My heart begins to pound uncontrollably in my chest after hearing this but I don't let it show, "But you're just too stubborn to let anyone help you!" He too screams this at me in pure, hot, frustration and I hang my head low with shame. He was right but he had no right to be right. *** There are many errors of tense in this story and I will fix them the moment I complete it. warning: contains mature language and triggering themes.

His irises swirled slowly, an enticing pale silver against his stark black lashes. They illuminated slightly, so quick it was gone in a blink. He broke our eye contact, lifting his head straight. A darkly amused expression appeared. It happened so quickly it seemed like a mask appeared. I blinked myself out of my trance, and turned on my heel to see what was at the receiving end of his humor. Augustus stood there. His face contorted into anger as he took in my ruined dress. His hands shook in his fury. "Roman." Augustus nearly snarled the name. "Have you come to join us, little King? The party was just getting started." So his name was Roman, some big secret. I rolled my eyes at the reveal as well as his taunting sentence. "Davina, what is going on here?" Augustus asked, his eyes full of betrayal. I had never seen him so guarded. I could feel his anger through my bones. His words were careful. What was he talking about? My brows furrowed at the insinuation, "What?" A line of smoke floated around my right shoulder and come between Augustus and I. How convenient. I had the desire to swipe it away but didn't. "What can I say, she...seduced me." Roman purred. His voice was a sensual whisper in my left ear. I subconsciously lifted my shoulder and backed away from it. Not only because he had lost his fucking mind, but also because it shot down my spine, caressing my skin. ** This book contains mature content.
