Everyone is afraid of dying alone. Or being alone forever. Everyone wants a someone. --------------------------------------------- "Oh I'm so sorry. I didn't see you there. I'm so sorry." I quickly wipe away my tears and pick up my stuff. I don't even notice that I've badly skimmed my knees. "Are you okay?" I ask in concern when I look up, but abruptly freeze when I see who it is. "No worries. Are you alright? Did you get those cuts from the fall?" The supposedly dangerous, Orion, softly asks me. My eyes widen and I quickly remember that I have a bad cut on my cheekbone and lip. "Fine." I murmur before I run away as fast as I can. I can feel his eyes on me as I run. Then I hear the sound of feet running after me. ~ Edie, a 20 year old college student going to Johns Hopkins University for medical school, goes through a rough breakup with an extremely abusive boyfriend a few years back.

""Kitten, you're worried about something, and you cannae lie. You're picking at your hands and looking around to clean up my room. Unlucky for you, my room is very clean," he said, "Now what are you worrying about so much?" I stopped picking at my cuticles. It was kind of weird that he could see me doing something and read me like a book before I could even realize I was doing it. I felt my heart pound in my chest. "Well, it's just this whole pretending to date you thing," I shrugged, "How far do we have to take it? Do we have to do it in front of our friends? Do we have to do it in public because obviously we ran into Olivia today and we weren't planning on it. Oh shit, what if she sees you with another girl? I mean, what would happen then? What if she sees me talking to another guy? How long is this going to go on? What if we have to kiss in front of Olivia? I mean, it's not that I don't want to kiss you but--" I rambled on nervously. Iain smirked and walked towards me, and the next thing I knew, his lips were on mine, and we were kissing." When Kit's older brother, Ben, finally makes it with the girl he's been crushing on for four years, only to find out she's wary of family, he lies and calls his baby sister his best friend's girlfriend, turning everyone's life upside down.
