I sat hunched over with my thumb up, staring blankly into the night. Car after car drove by, too busy to notice a 16-year-old girl possibly having the worst night of her life. But how were they supposed to know that? My life is as useless to them as much as theirs is to me. I know this, yet I sit here and somehow still hope, hope for any type of kindness. I wonder when I finally stop hopingand praying for things, all it ever does is hurt me. Still sitting there, I wrap my arms around my knees and take my hat in the firstrebellious tear is skate and caressed my Face as ever as follows. Memories from tonight suddenly burst into my mind like a breaking damn. I began to sob and weep. I've been beaten, raped,and much more but for some reason tonight was different. But I didn't want to think about it, so I grabbed my forest green bad and abruptly rose to my feet. Looking both ways before I crossed the street, I headed towards the only place I knew to go. The only place I felt safe and loved, Brendon's house.

  • I Fell in Love with a Bad Boy

There's this silence between us that stretches longer than it should, and it wraps around my chest like a weighted blanket. My throat tightens. I stare at him like I'm trying to memorise the face of someone who shouldn't exist. A dream made real. My lips part before I can stop myself. "Were you sent by my dad to take care of me?" The question hangs in the air, trembling like the last leaf in autumn. Aiden's gaze softens. His lips tug into the gentlest smile I've ever seen. It's the kind of smile that could mend broken wings. "No" he whispers. "I volunteered." The words hit harder than I expect. Like a punch wrapped in silk. I gasp, air leaves me in a rush I can't reclaim. But before I can fully process what he's just said, he takes a step closer. His fingers ghost over my cheek, brushing away a tear I didn't realise had fallen. And then-he kisses me painfully slow. His hand cups the back of my neck, anchoring me to a moment I never want to end. And just when I think it's over, he pulls away just enough to look at me. His thumb traces the damp trail of tears down my cheek. He doesn't say anything. He just leans in again, and kisses them away. One by one. My tears. My pain. My silence. All kissed away by a boy who didn't come to save me because someone sent him. He came because he chose to.
