"Where's Daemon?" the blonde airhead asked me with exasperation once she rushed over having spotted me in the mist of the crowd. I did an eye-roll. Did she seriously have to ask? "I don't know," I snapped. Having Drake Andrews cupping up a feel just minutes ago had left me in a bad mood and looking at the cliche version of the most popular girl in school, who might I add ignored me if she hadn't been looking for my best-friend, was not helping. "He said he was going to the bathroom," she continued…-

MILES "I'm fucked." I throw my head into my hands. Jasper laughs, patting my back to comfort me. I invited him over for moral support because I have no clue what I'm doing with Isabella. "Oh, you'll be fine, drama queen." He sips his beer. "And when did you get nervous for hookups?" I lift my head. "This isn't a hookup." "You finally settling down?" His eyebrow raises in surprise. I sigh and slump back on my balcony chair, letting my limbs hang lifelessly. "I don't know what the fuck I'm…-

ISABELLA I groan in pain, pulling the blanket covering me over my eyes. The sunlight floods through the white sheets, making my headache worse. I try to reposition my aching body. But my eyes spring open when the realization hits me; I do not own white sheets. I tear the covers off and stare at the unfamiliar room. An awful smell invades my nose, I see the vomit stains all over my dress and instantly stand. Just as I'm about to pry myself out of my clothes, I notice a bright green sticky note hanging…

ISABELLA "Where have you been?" Addy asks as I enter our apartment. She turns around on the island stool, her homework splayed on the table in front of her. "You look dirty, are you alright?" "I'm fine, just a lot has happened, like usual." That catches her attention. She closes her books, eyeing me suspiciously. "Good or bad?" "Well, Jake called me." I fill her in on our conversation, leaving out all things Miles. I know I'll regret it in the long run, but I want to keep what happened today…

ISABELLA I wake to an empty apartment. The sunlight beams through the windows of our living room, reminding me I forgot to close the blinds. Then again, I rarely sleep in the living room. I sit up and clutch the blanket I don't recall draping over myself. Usually, I enjoy quiet mornings, but right now the silence—just like my memory of last night—is deafeningly painful. I take a moment to gather my thoughts. "Fuck." I run my hands over my face. When my eyes open, I notice a sticky note…

ISABELLA Trigger warning: sexual assault I wearily rub my eyes while dragging my heavy feet through campus. I didn't get any sleep last night because Addy was watching re-runs of The Bachelor, and she is not a silent watcher. She got a piece of my mind this morning. And although she apologized for being loud, I know she'll do it again. Not only did she keep me up, so did my thoughts of Jake. It took a lot of willpower not to reply to his message. I want nothing more than to give him a piece of my…

ISABELLA "Bell," Addy says as I push my coffee mug around, letting it skid across the table of Rosie's. "Are you going to tell me what happened?" I don't reply. Instead, I stare out the large windows beside our booth, trying to collect my thoughts. Ever since Jake's call, I have been miserable while avoiding the topic. Of course, I want to tell Addy, but I can't muster up the courage to tell her he's been cheating on me all because I wasn't rushing to have sex with him. She sighs. "You tell me…

ISABELLA My stomach drops as if I went down the world's steepest roller coaster. I can't breathe, and everything around me seems to get louder. The music, the talking, the people. I drag the phone away from my ear to double-check that this is my perfect boyfriend, and to my luck, Jake is plastered across the screen. Eventually, I get the courage to speak. "What?" "I've been waiting to say that." He slurs his words. "Are you drunk?" "I'm tired of waiting around." He avoids my question, but I…

ISABELLA On Wednesday, Addy and I part for a class like usual. The week is flying by, which I'm thankful for because I haven't been in the mood to learn. Especially when Jake is the only thing on my mind. Of course, I'm disappointed he had to go, but school comes first. So, I swallow some of my advice and rid my mind of him so I can focus. I take a seat in the empty lecture hall earlier than I need to be and pull out my notes to kill time. One by one, the empty seats fill, but nobody sits beside me…

ISABELLA I wake to the smell of bacon wafting from the kitchen. My eyes wearily open and take a minute to adjust to the sunlight streaming in through the cracks in the blinds. I notice the other half of the bed is vacant, and Jake is nowhere to be found. I untangle myself from my sheets and walk into the living room. I find Jake in the kitchen, making breakfast, and Addison sitting on the couch with her eyes fixated on her computer. Before announcing myself, I take the opportunity to watch him…
