Playlist - Fetish by Selena Gomez & Gucci Mane Luna I nibbled on one of my fingernails distractedly. I stare at his words again, running over the sentence in my mind. Meet me at the Opera House at 10 - a The note was slipped in my bag, I don't know how. It terrified me to begin with.... With type of handwriting I immediately knew it was not Axel. He would never just write the initial of his name. He would always passed on notes to that damn Jenna. b***h- but that's not the point. His handwriting was neat and plain, but this one was cursive and only other person I knew whose name began with an A was Ares. The thought of him brought back a wave thrill to my body. It shook with unwanted tingles spreading down my spine. I pushed it out my mind and tossed the paper away. It was time for my AP History class when I bumped into Mia. I haven't spoken to Mia in almost two days. Not since I last met Ares on Wednesday, and today was Friday. I didn't even get a chance to tell her about Charlotte or Ares, we suddenly distanced ourselves from each other and it bothered me. She frowned looking at me and I could see trouble in her eyes. "What have you been up to?" I asked. She just tilted her head, not answering me. "See if you don't want to talk then don't." I began walking past her to my next class, but caught my wrist pulling me back. By the look of her face I could tell she was nervous. "I have something to confess." I raised my brows in question. "About what?" She looked around us, hoping no one could here us. "Not here. At St. Peters." I nodded. "Right after history. Okay?" "Sure," I said and began walking towards our class only to see Chase standing two feet away from us. Leaning on a locker, looking deliberately at us and I knew he heard our entire conversation. Mia's breath hitched and she looked scared of him which she never was. I held her hand tightly in my hand and she squeezed my hand back and flashed a I'm okay smile, but something told me she wasn't. Chase had his eyes fixated on us and I glared at him. He followed us to the classroom and I cursed Satan for keeping him in our class. We sat in our usual seats and something unusual happened when Chase along with Axel sat right behind us. The faint hint of his body wash hit me as he passed by, and I turned my head, my chest aching as he walked to sit behind us. My heart pumped rapidly and I felt their eyes boring holes in the of our neck. An unsettling feeling crept it's way inside me. I tried ignoring it, but the growing intensity of their gaze couldn't make it possible. I looked at Mia from the corner of my eyes. She looked paler than usual and her platinum blonde hair were covered in sweat. The only time Mia sweated was when she was afraid of something or in this case someone. There was a few seconds left for Prof. Preston to arrive and my curiosity got the best of me. I slowly grabbed mine and Mia' bag and walked out with Mia just in time for Prof. Preston's arrival. "Where do think you're going Mr. Henry, Mr. Trent? Sit down now." As I suspected, Chase and Axel were ready to follow us, but were too slow. I thanked God for sending Prof. Preston just in time. We hurriedly walked out of the school building, I was still holding Mia's hand which turned icy every growing minute. "Where's your car?" I asked the moment we stepped in the parking lot. "I rode with Chase." Now, this new information just puzzled me. "What?" I exclaimed. "There's something you're not telling me." A sob escaped her and immediately hugged her. "You have to tell me what's going on between you and him." "First, let's go to St. Peters." *** My car came to holt and we got out of it. Scanning the area, tall trees dotted the clearing where few cars had been parked. I turned around and immediately spotted a massive stone structure ahead of me. I tilted my head back, following the spears of the old, abandoned church peeking out through the bare a St. Peters. I'd never been here, but I knew it from the pictures I'd seen in the newspaper over the years. It was an old landmark, built in the early 1900s when our city was settled. In 1923, just a few years later after the establishment of this church, a heinous crime took place on the night before Sunday mass. A teenage girl was brutally r***d by her classmates, and one of them was the pastor' son. The girl was founded on the morning on the Sunday mass, tied up, naked and left on one of the pew. The girl belonged to a family of butchers and when they found out what happened to their baby girl, they swore to burn all the boys who r***d her, but the boys was never found and when they found the identity of the boys, they were tragically butchered and burned in this church. Since then, this church has been closed. I wonder why Mia wanted to talk here out of all the place. I ventured one more glance around the area, making sure no one was around, and quickly went inside the church. We sat on an abandoned pew, I quickly let out a breath, tired out of my mind. I was in my school skirt and flats, my legs completely bare, and chills broke out all over my body. Shifting my eyes up, I noticed the vast space above, the balcony section of the old church forming a semicircle that looked down over where the altar would've once sat. Most of the hardwood pews had been torn out and sat in piles around the room, while the old castiron chandelier, reminiscent of medieval times with its candle holders and ornate design. I glanced at Mia, she dipped her head down. Faint tears flowing down. I couldn't hold my curiosity anymore. "Hey." I touched her shoulder, encouraging her spill whatever going on in her head. She straightened her head, looking at me. "I'm pregnant." Did I hear her right? She's what pregnant? I let out a chuckle at her words and soon that chuckle turned into a full fledged laughter. "Stop," she grimaced and I laughed louder. She hit my shoulder all too forcefully and it was my turn to grimace in pain. "Ow!" I rubbed where she hit me. "That hurt." "So did your laugh," she retorted. "I actually am pregnant."Her tone was serious now. It took me a few minutes to take in her words and only possible sentence I could let was deep buried in my mind. I was left speechless. "How?" I finally said. She gulped, looking away and brought her face in front of me. "Spill." She took a few deep breaths and began. "It started about a year ago, when our parents were on a vacation." Our? I was confused by what she said. She was silent for few minutes, looking at me intently, then realisation hit me hard. "What-" I yelled in time for Mia cover my mouth. "Calm down, I know." My eyes widened in shock at the news. Mia and Chase. Mia f****d Chase. He f****d the person he hated the most. They f****d each other. But, they were step siblings for heaven's sake. "Just hear me out," she pleaded and I caved in. "So," she continued. "My mom kept on insisting on a family vacation to Cade and we decided to go to Florence, but Chase didn't want to go. He adamantly refused to go on a family vacation with my mom and repeatedly taunted me and mom on how she wanted a lavish life and was making him fall in her trap. "Cade had b***h slapped him in front of us making the situation worse. He stared vocally announcing his hatred for all of us and wanted nothing to do with this family." I listened to her carefully. She paused for a few minutes then began again. "So my mom was very unhappy because of him, then Cade insisted on going on a family vacation without Chase. I suggested for them to go on a romantic vacation instead. You know just to clear their minds and all. "They reluctantly agreed and went. Two day prior to their departure, Chase and his friends were at home having fun and I just steered clear of them, I was library the whole day and," she gulped in and continued,"and his friends thought it would be funny to tease and fat shame me. A tear fell down her cheek. "They barged in the library and made comments about me, sexualized my relationship with Cade and harassed me." I wanted to ask if Axel was one of them. "Yes, Axel was one of them." She answered my thought. "I cried the entire night and when they finally left, I was ready to give Chase a piece of my mind. But the unexpected happened. He entered my room and apologised to me, he thought I cried myself to sleep. Unbeknown to my awake state, he repeatedly said sorry then kissed my forehead and left. "I was shocked beyond my mind. The Chase who vocally declared his hatred toward me, actually had a soft spot for me. The next morning, I pretended that I never heard him and ignored him. A few times, he purposely got in my way, but I pretended he was never there. "After, mom and Cade left for Florence. He came to my room and asked what was the matter with me. I ignored his presence and continued with my work. He was so agitated with me that he actually threw my Chemistry book out of the window. He wanted a reaction out me and I reacted with my hand slamming his face. "He was startled by the sudden blow and in return of that he punished me with his kiss. I melted in him and the next thing I knew he was pounding in me merciless. He made me come four times that night." Her cheeks reddened at the statement. "We made pact to pretend like we hate each other and not tell about us to anyone. Like a naive little girl I fell in his trap. Everything was going smoothly until your epic crash at the party. I lost my cool when I saw him with some other girl. That i***t acted all possessive about me dating other guys and made me promise not get involved with any boy while he was screwing new girls every week. So hypocritical of him "That night after the party, I suggested to end things between us and he did something terrible." She choked up. "He agreed at first and we broke it off mutually then when I was in my room, ready to fall asleep, he snuck in my room, threw a big tantrum. I was so mad at him, but I love him so much at the same time. I don't what compelled me to sleep with him that night. We did unspeakable things. I gave him a head. He even came in my ass. It was new for both us. I loved when he manhandled me. Call it whatever you want, but I love him so much, Luna," she cried. "And like a slut I moaned for him and weirdly I wanted him to do it again. He threatened me if I were ever to break it off with him, he'll tell his father about our relationship. " She moped in my arms and I felt bad for her. "The worst part it is, he wants nothing to do with our baby. He suggested that I tell some shitty story of how a-" "One night stand went wrong," I completed her sentence. She nodded and sobbed in my arms. All I wanted to do was punch Chase Henry to death in that moment.
