My Boyfriend's Possessive Stepbrother.

KIMBERLY

Loud music blasts through the walls almost deafening my ears, i rush up the stairs opening door after door. I can hear my friends shouting my name but I don't stop.

Almost all the rooms are occupied with people either fucking or doing drugs, i don't pay much thought to the naked scenes i've found myself getting free HD view of. I'm a woman on a mission i really need to see through myself.

I take deep breaths when i come face to face with the last door of the frat house. I place my shaky hand on the doorknob, this is it there's no going back. Taking more deep breaths in, i push the door open and my world stops. Nothing and I mean nothing, could have prepared me for the scene I walk in on.

"Ro-Ronan?"

I stutter, his head is thrown back as a blond girl kneels between his legs. Her head bobs back and forth in a quick pace.

His head slowly turns in my direction and his eyes widen when he realises who's standing in the doorway. He just stares at me,not bothering to stop the girl giving him pleasure.

I place a hand on the left side of my chest,feeling an invisible knife cutting through my skin aiming directly for my heart. I turn around and run from the scene. Why her? it could have been anyone else but why her?

I pull at the end of my long sleeve shirt, fisting it as i quicken my pace. It starts raining and my hair sticks to my cheeks and forehead,I can't even hear the sound of my converse on the tarmac.

"Kim!"

"Kim!!!"

"Kimberly!"

I hear my friends calling out to me, it's 10pm but there's no such emotion as fear in me,I guess what they say is true, when you're heart broken, the only thing that eats at you is hurt, betrayal and lots and lots of questions like,

What did I do wrong? what don't I have? and am I not enough?

I shouldn't have come to this stupid frat in the first place, a highschool boyfriend who attends college parties? I'm so stupid. What does he do when I'm not there, if he's so sloppy when he's aware of the possibility I'd decide to change my mind and go there?

I reach home in drenched clothes, water dripping on the floor, mother's speaks from the kitchen.

"Kim honey is that you?"

"Yeah mom,I'll just go to bed."

"Okay honey,don't forget to drink the milk i left on your study table.

"Thanks mother,goodnight."

I try as hard as possible to sound cheerful. I reach my room and shut the door,I slide down against it, hugging my knees to my chest then I cry to my heart's content.

* *The Next Day* *

I stretch and yawn,my eyes feel heavy and swollen from all the crying I did last night. I pat the table next to me feeling for my phone, I wait for my eyes to adjust to the morning light then I light the phone screen. There's eleven missed calls from my friends, four from Sam and seven from Noah.

Oh there's messages too, which I immediately delete without opening, I know it's probably,

"where are you?" and "we told you so."

I throw my legs off the bed and stretch some more, I should get ready for school,whatever happened happened. I can't hide forever,I am not a coward,if people talk then so be it.

Well that's if they know what went down last night.

After taking a hot bath, I look at myself in the mirror,my eyes are still red and puffy from all the crying i did last night, so I conceal them with makeup. It doesn't hide the puffiness much but it'll do.

I catch a ride with Sam,my childhood best friend, the entire ride is quiet except for the good mornings we exchanged earlier. I guess she knows I still need some space, she places her hand on top of mine and squeezes it in a comforting way.

"Just...act normal," she says.

"I'm okay, besides, I won't hesitate to put any nosy person in their place."

She looks like she's about to argue but gives up.

"Sam.." I touch her arm. "it's okay."

She stares at me with worry and uncertainty.

"Am just worried about you Kim, you know how vicious and cruel those people in there can be."

I sigh.

"I know..I can handle it."

"That Bree is gonna be circling and feasting for any small crumbs of information to ruin you with," She folds her hands over her chest.

Bree, aka Queen b of Blackwool Royal High and Blackwool town. A perfect description of a runaway model: blond hair,blue eyes,long legs and silky skin that glows in the sunlight. She hates me, No, loathes me because of Ronan.

She's his ex girlfriend. When I transferred here from a public school, rumors started circulating that Ronan dumped Bree just so he could court me,shocker right?

Well ever since then,there's been whispers every corner I turn.

"What's so good about her anyway?"

"She's nothing special."

"She's not even that pretty."

"I bet she thinks she's now high and mighty because she's dating the star quarterback."

and so on.

The bullying gets worse and worse. Stealing my uniforms in the showers after practice,vulgar words written on my locker,missing books and stupid pranks, it even got to tripping me at cheerleading practice just so I wouldn't participate in the cheerleading squad at the school football year championship tournament.

"I'm used to it,besides, she doesn't scare me, I can handle her just fine."

"Okay, I've got your back, you know that right?"

"Yes I do."

We walk through the doors and into the hallway, we're not even halfway through when the whispers start.

"Just keep your head high and don't pay them attention," Sam whispers.

Right! easier said than done.

I lift my chin up with my head held high,I don't stop or make eye contact with anyone.

Some are not even trying to hide by lowering their voices,they freely speak out loud instead.

"She thought she was the queen."

"Karma is a bitch,what goes around comes back around."

Sneakers,laughs, and more nasty comments but I keep walking. I reach the corner and that's when I realize I was holding my breath, my eyes stare at the bathroom doors and I rush there,heading straight for the last stall, then I lock myself in and cry.

"Kim," Sam knocks.

"Just go, I'm okay."

"Okay, I'll be out here if you need me."

I don't answer,a few seconds later,i hear her retreating footsteps.

* *Later* *

The bell rings and I leave for class, I slip into the desk and place my backpack next to my seat on the floor. Ms Green, the history teacher walks in immediately starting the lessons,the last thing I hear is,

"So embarrassing." Followed by a giggle as I try my hardest to concentrate.

The day goes by painfully slowly, it's lunch time and I'm placing my books in the locker, I don't get to fully retreat my hand when the locker slums shut, smashing my fingers in the process.

"Ouch! What the-"

"Oops. Sorry did that hurt?" Bree smirks at me.

"Definitely like a bitch." Naomi, bitch number two of the school answers.

"No Nao, she's the bitch, remember?"

And that's Jessy, bitch number three.

They snicker.

"Be nice girls," Bree says to her evil minions as she leans against a locker.

"Heard Ron dumped you? Is that true? And in the most humiliating way."

"It's non of your business." Is all I say as I try to move past her but she blocks my way.

"Now listen Kimsy."

I hate it when she calls me that,she knows it so she does it on purpose.

"I told you to stay away from Ronan, he's mine. If you try to worm yourself into his life again, I will destroy you and this time I won't hold back."

She stares at me from top to bottom.

"Are you done?" I ask in a well mastered calm voice, which makes her angry.

"Yes, I won't bother myself with you again,you were just the flavor of a few months. I win Kimberly,I always do."

And then she pushes me against the lockers, flips her hair and walks away, her minions look me up and down.

"Bitch," They throw at me as they walk away.

I force and blink the tears back.

Making my way to the theatre room,I enter and sit in the back rows in the dark corner and cry.

The shield I've build over two years is starting to crack because i'm not only crying for the nasty bullying but the heartbreak too, I wipe the tears away angrily.

No,this is the last time I'll shed a tear because of those people, I'll walk with my chin high and crush every obstacle that will stand in my way.

The last period goes by quickly, I stand to exit the room when I trip, or someone trips me.

Holding myself at the last minute, I gasp and collect myself. I turn and my eyes meet Andrew's, he smirks up at me and his friends laugh. The Elites; cocky,bossy, arrogant and well, unapologetically handsome.

Andrew has always had a crush on Bree, so his cruel behavior right now is understandable, he'd do anything to see her smile, so I being the "reason" for her crying has a lot do to with this.

Who even acts like this for a girl who's in love with someone else and pays Zero out of ten attention to them?

"Careful there blondie, we wouldn't want to ruin that pretty face for the next target now would we?" He mocks in a irritating tone.

I bite my tongue and turn around, leaving the classroom.

"Hey!" I hear Sam's voice and turn around with a smile.

"Hey."

"You walk so fast," She pants.

"No I don't,you just have a hard time keeping up with people."

"You need a ride home? I can drop you."

"Sure," I smile.

We step out of the building and head for the parking lot. Ronan emerges from between the cars,it's like he was waiting for me.

"Hey Kim, can we talk?" He pushes his blond hair back and puts his hands in his pockets.

"I don't have time to talk."

I keep walking to Sam's car.

"Wait...." He grabs my arm but I shake his hand off.

"Don't touch me," I say firmly.

"I just-i just want to talk okay."

"And she said no. Just leave her alone Ronan, you've caused enough damage already," Sam stands at my side.

"Look Sam, I know you're Kim's best friend but just stay out of it okay."

Sam scoffs in disbelief, I know the bomb is about to tick so I rush to say,

"Don't talk to her like that, she's my best friend." My brows crease.

"I know, but can't we talk privately?"

"I said I don't want to talk Ronan!"

I give him a hard stare and bypass him, dragging Sam behind me.

We pull out of the parking lot and I let out a deep breath.

"He's such I jerk. I knew I was right,I don't like him." Sam says.

I don't respond as I look in the side mirror and see his figure still planted in the same spot.

KIMBERLY

"Kimberly?" My mom calls out as I click the front door shut.

"Yes mom?"

"Kim! Kim! Kim! See what uncle Luca bought me."

My Ten year old brother Killian rushes into the hallway with a huge mortal kombat doll, I kneel down and gasp with exaggeration.

"He did? This is so cool kiddo!"

I ruffle his hair, mum stands in the kitchen doorway with her hands crossed on her chest and a bright smile on her face. Well it's always been the three of us, dad ran off with his secretary and all the money in his and moms joint account,leaving us with nothing but the house. Mom decided to sale it and we moved to Blackwool from Palm Springs.

A beautiful town on the west side of California.

But the thing is, it's not just any ordinary town, it is a town full of rich folks and old money with both friendly and judging eyes.

The rich do not mingle with the low class people, unless you're from a well to do middle class family.

"Go finish your lunch Killian, then Kim can help you with your homework later."

Mum says and he nods, disappearing into the kitchen.

"Finish everything and we might play mortal kombat," I shout after him.

"I'll lick the plate clean master!" He shouts back making both mom and I smile.

After helping Killian with his homework,we role play mortal combat as promised, then he falls asleep, releasing tiny snores.

I tuck him in and place his new favorite toy beside him, then his arm around it, I kiss his forehead and whisper,

"Goodnight little champ."

I stand up and head out, clicking the door shut quietly. I'm about to head to my room when I hear small sniffles coming from downstairs, I carefully move down the steps and see mom seated on the sofa with a glass of wine in her hand.

"Why did you do this to me Julien? I keep playing every part of our lives together and still can't pinpoint where I went wrong."

She sniffs and takes a sip of her wine. My feet itch to move to her and comfort her,but every time I try, she ends up closing herself in. It's been six years since dad left us, without any explanation or goodbye.

Killian was only four years old, I was ten at that time, I remember everything clearly.

My mom depressed, crying every night and acting strong during the day. Killian constantly kept asking when dad would return from the store with his toys. Which makes me more angry the more I think about it. Why didn't he just leave?

He had to promise a four year old boy knowing full well that he wasn't going to hold on to that promise, for Christ's sake, the kid still thinks he's working somewhere to put enough money together for toys.

I enter my room and sit on the bed, holding my head in my hands, why does my life have to be this hard?

* * The Next Day* *

Early morning, I stretch and yawn, throwing the covers off, i head to the kitchen in my fluffy pajamas.

"Good morning sweetie," mom greets from the other side of the kitchen.

"I made enough bacon and cookies,you can take some with you and share with Sam."

My mother loves Sam, she's the only friend she's ever approved of a hundred percent.

"Sure, thanks mom."

After breakfast, I shower and get ready for school. At Blackwool, they have the perfect uniforms:

blue mid thigh length skirts with tucks,white long sleeve shirts,blue tie, white socks and a grey jacket with the schools logo on the left corner.

A golden crown and small words underneath written in gold *Blackwool Royal*.

The same goes for the male uniforms except theirs are jerseys instead of jackets.

I stare at myself in the mirror and head out.

Mom drops Killian off everyday because his school is just near her workplace, a publishing company, Devine and Supreme.

Sam honks and I grab my backpack, kiss Killian on the forehead and mum on the cheek

"Be safe honey,say hi to Sam for me!"

"I will!" I shout back.

* *Hours Later* *

It's lunch time and Sam manages to drag me to the cafeteria

"Do you perhaps have a death wish for me?"

"Of course not. You need to show these idiots that you're not scared of them."

"Easier said than done Sam, easier said than done."

"You're overthinking it Kim." She spins around and grabs my shoulders, staring me straight in the eyes.

"You've got this, you've got me, you can do it," I push at her face and sigh.

"Okay okay."

We walk in and the chatters don't stop, except for one table,where the Elites usually sit, that place is treated like the throne, nobody and I mean nobody, touches or thinks of sitting there, it's at the far right end of the cafeteria.

Bree sneers when she notices me, some of the guys stare,some don't.

We grab our food and seat at the table near the entrance, just the two of us anyway.

Ronan gets up and I hold my breath when he starts moving in our direction.

"I told you this was a bad idea," I whisper to Sam.

"Chill out, just act like he's not there."

I straighten when he reaches the table,he slides in next to me and heads start turning, Great! the last thing I needed.

"Hey Sam."

"Hi," She doesn't even look at him.

"Hey Kim, how you holding up?"

"I was just fine before you came here," I turn to look at him.

"Look Kim,you don't always have to be hostile towards me, I just wanna talk."

"And I already told you, I don't."

"I wasn't thinking straight,I was drunk okay, I didn't-"

"I don't care! I don't wanna hear it, drunk or not you did cheat on me."

I can feel the tears threatening to spill, so I push up from the seat,grab my backpack and lunchbox.

"Let's go Sam."

"Thank you," she groans then stands immediately and follows me out.

We head to the benches behind the building on the school premises.

"I don't like him,never have and never will,"

She takes a big bite of her sandwich.

"I know," I sigh. "I still can't believe he cheated on me like that."

"I always told you he's scum, he doesn't even try to hide how he flirts with the Elites girls even when Noah is there. And no excuses for him Kim, he knows Noah is our friend. I wish you'd just realise he's the one for you," she mumbles the last part.

"What?"

"Nothing..." She trails off and smiles.

"You said something Sam,what was it?"

"It's good you realize he's not the one for you, I mean Ronan." She continues eating and smiling in that awkward suspicious way.

"Okay."

We finish our food and head back inside for the rest of our classes.

* *Home* *

It's midnight when my phone rings on the bedside table,I ignore it but it starts ringing again, I groan and feel my hand for it, bringing it closer to my face, the light assaults my eyes so I take a few seconds to adjust, Ronan flashes on the screen.

I hit reject and push the phone under my pillow, it starts ringing again and I groan, pulling it out I hit answer.

"What?!"

"Kimberly..." He whispers like he can't believe I picked up.

"No Ronan no-"

"Please don't hang up," he cuts me off, I frown at his resigned voice, he sounds...hurt? Is he hurting?

"It's my parents."

I sit up, his parents filed for divorce a few months back,it was officially over in court just four months ago but apparently, his mother still loves his father very much,there's been rumors whispered in dark corners of his father cheating,with whom? we don't know and nobody dares to talk about it, because Ronan happens to be the son of business owner Jonathan Caicedo, one of the richest men in town who owns resorts and the most famous law firm.

Izzy his mom is a very sweet woman,she was so heartbroken about the divorce,I had to check in on her everyday to stop her from gaining an eating disorder.

"Are they okay?" I ask calmly.

"Yes,well no. My dad is but my mom isn't."

"What happened to Izzy?"

My heart hammers so hard against my chest.

Being the sweet woman she is,she insisted I called her Izzy.

"She's going into depression Kim, Dad's marrying again."

"What?!" I ask shocked, "it's been four months, how's he remarrying?"

"I don't know Kim, I've been asking myself the same thing."

Silence.

We're both silent for thirty seconds. even though they were on separation for six months, four months after divorce is just too soon.

"Do you think he was cheating on her all this time?" His voice sounds so broken.

"I don't know Ronan, maybe or maybe not,sometimes it takes a few weeks for someone to feel attached to someone and a few months enough to marry them."

I answer honestly.

"But four months? Four months Kim, maybe she's the one he was cheating on her with," He sighs.

"Is it true? I mean the cheating rumors."

"Yes, now am certainly sure and I'm positive this is the same woman responsible for it."

He's silent for a few seconds.

"I need you Kimberly."

"Ronan please stop I ca-"

"Please Kim, this...all this cheating and divorce with my parents has made me realise how much I must have hurt you. Let's just talk tomorrow, please."

His voice sounds desperate and broken, I sigh.

"Okay," I whisper. He hangs up and I throw my head on the pillow then sigh again, maybe I should hear him out.

KIMBERLY

I stand there staring at Ronan's home, he lives with his father because after the divorce, his mom left for her modeling contract in miami.

Ronan couldn't go because of school and his life here, the fact that he enjoys the glory and riches is the icing on the cake,he wouldn't leave that behind.

I ring the doorbell and the butler opens up.

"Miss, we weren't expecting you."

"Hello, I'm here for Ronan."

"Ahh," he nods. "Sir Ronan is upstairs,you can come in."

"Thank you."

I make my way up the stairs and hold the doorknob.

"Ronan? It's Kimberly, can I come in?" In a flash,the door opens wide.

"You came," he says it more to himself, seeming surprised.

"Hi," I say but he doesn't respond,he grabs my hand and pulls me inside his room then shuts the door. I sit on the edge of the bed while he sits in his study chair.

"Thanks for coming," I just nod in response.

"Where's Izzy?" I stare at the wall behind him.

"She's in Miami, am scared she might spiral out of control again Kim,what if she hurts herself?"

"She won't," I look him in the eyes.

Ronan is a very handsome guy, with sandy blonde hair and blue eyes,he's lean and tall with a gorgeous smile.

"She's a strong woman, whatever she went through during the divorce made her stronger."

He stares at me for long beats then stands from the chair, my eyes follow his movements as he comes to stand in front of me.

He crouches and wraps his hands around my chin.

"I was wrong, I won't blame it on the alcohol, i'll take full responsibility for my actions. When my mom found out about the cheating,she was depressed and heartbroken, I don't want anyone to go through what she did,but I did that to you."

He takes in a sharp breath, I can feel moisture building behind my eyelids.

"I'm so so sorry Kim, I love you and I don't want to lose you,please give me another chance. Give me a chance to be better than my father."

I'm about to say no when he does the unexpected, he kneels down and begs.

"You can do whatever you want,humiliate me at school or anything but please,don't leave me. Think of my mom,I want her to be proud of me,to see that I'm like her and not him,I want you to be proud of me,let me be a better man to you."

I wipe at the tear that just rolled down my cheek.

"Please..I can't be without you Kimberly," I just stare at him.a

"Yes?" He asks me with so much hope.

"Yes," I nod and he smiles.

"Thank you," Then he kisses me.

* * Blackwool Royal High* *

"You what?! Kim! You can't be serious right now," Sam stands in front of me,one hand hiked up on her hip.

"He deserves another chance Sam,he's going through a lot and maybe he's realized his mistakes."

"Kim, guys like Ronan will always cheat no matter what, he's a womanizer,a golden boy, why won't you see that?"

"He's not, Sam, the fact that he cheated once doesn't make him one, you've never liked him, just give him a chance okay."

"No, I won't and guess what? When he cheats on you again, remember I told you so."

She sighs and flips her hair then disappears down the hallway, I hug my books to my chest,she's not right about this right?

* *A Week Later* *

Ronan keeps doing small nice things to please me,we agreed to let our relationship be private.

"We talked about this Ron."

"I know beautiful, but please understand,I had to do it, i don't want to hide this."

"I wanted this to be between us, at least for now."

He takes my hand in his.

"Look, I've seen the stares and heard the secret whispering, there's a lot of guys out there wanting and lusting over you. They want you so bad it's difficult for them to hide it, I won't let that happen."

I bite the inside of my cheek then sigh.

"Okay."

He parks the car in the lot, a spot reserved for only the Elites, I rush from the lot and head straight for the school entrance.

"Hey.." a hand wraps around my arm.

"Why are you running?"

"I-i'm not," I stutter.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just remembered Sam asked me to help her with the hard parts of her homework before the teacher goes in."

"Oh, okay, but can't we just walk in together?" I'm about to say no when he pulls me by the hand dragging me inside.

Everyone stops whatever they were doing,their eyes widen and some stare with mouths agape.

Noah stares at me in disbelief then taps Sam on the shoulder, she mumbles something and drags him out of the hallway by the jersey. My face immediately falls.

"Hi Kimberly."

"Looking good Kim."

Huh! Unbelievable,these people would do anything to please Ron just so they could join the Elites circle. They'd even go as far as befriending me so they can use me, the same faces that threw nasty remarks at me not too long ago.

I sit next to Sam, who by all means clearly lets me see that she's mad at me, the teacher walks in and the classroom goes quiet.

During lunch, I try to catch up to Sam,I almost reach her when I get blocked by a tall frame.

"Hey beautiful, I've been looking for you, let's go eat."

Ronan smiles down at me,I stare in the direction Sam went,she's long gone so I face Ron.

"Okay," I force a smile.

"What is she doing here Ron?" Bree slams her smoothie cup on the table.

"I thought this bitch was long gone."

Naomi stares daggers at me.

"Shut the fuck up Nao, you will respect my girlfriend, unless you want to be thrown out of the group." Ronan braces his hands on the table, leaning down to hold Naomi's stare, her mouth hangs open.

"What?! You're back with her?" Bree screeches.

"That's none of your business Brianna."

He responds to her and she gasps. Well Queen b hates being called by her full name, she gets up and stomps her foot like the spoiled brat she is.

"But Ron, she can-"

"If anyone is uncomfortable with her presence then leave because she's not going anywhere,"

the whole table goes quiet.

"Good," he takes a seat and pulls me to sit next to him.

* *Hallway* *

"Sam!" I jog to her side. "Are you mad at me?"

"Yes," she sighs. "Kim,this is not a good idea, he's playing you, manipulating you by using his parents situation."

"Let that be Sam, I know you care about me,I don't want to lose you or Noah. Let's just stop talking about this please."

I grab both her hands in mine, she groans.

"Fine, but I still don't like him nor approve of this relationship."

"Soo...we good?"

"Like I have a choice," she rolls her eyes and smiles.

Three days later Ronan and I go on a date, life at school has become bearable,the bullying has lessened but it's still silently there,roaming around in dark shadows,in stares and bathroom walls when they think I'm not there.

"So, did you have fun?"

"Yeah I did," I smile up at him and he leans in to place a kiss on my lips,his phone rings and he frowns.

"It's my dad."

"Well? Pick up then."

"He doesn't call me,so why is he?"

"You won't find out unless you answer," I gesture at his phone with my head, he picks up.

"What?!" He roars making me flinch,I move closer to him and mouth,

"What is it?"

He places a finger to his lips, after a few minutes, he cuts the call and bangs his hand on top of his car.

"What's wrong?" I ask placing my palm on his back.

"It's my dad, he-he,fuck!"

"Ron, talk to me." I hug him from behind, I can feel the tension in his muscles.

"Talk to me," I whisper again and he turns in my hold to face me.

"He married that woman, he secretly married her today in a fucking county clerk office."

"What?" I ask dumbfounded. "A secret wedding?"

"Yes, she's moving in tonight with her son," he closes his eyes and I place my hand on his cheek.

"Am here for you Ron, I won't leave you to deal with this alone."

His face looks pained and when he opens his eyes, I see a lost boy and not the star Ronan.

"I Should go home," he brushes his hands through my hair.

"You want me to come with you?" I examine his face.

"You'd do that for me?"

"Of course I would," I place my hand on his chest.

"I love you," he says and plants kisses on my forehead.

"Me too."

* *Caicedo's House* *

I sit still in his bedroom,my hands fidgeting as Sera the fifty seven year old nanny places my favorite cookies on the bedside table, I've never found anyone who makes delicious cookies like hers.

"Oh sweetie, are you sure you're okay? You look so nervous,maybe you should get some air."

"No nanny it's ok-"

"You will respect my wife Ronan! If you don't, I won't have any choice but to strip you off your trust fund."

Ronan's father growls from the other room.

"You can't do that! I am your son!" A bang follows.

"Then start acting like one! You will respect me and you will respect Lydia and her son."

Silence, deafening silence.

"Well I hope you'll be happy with your new perfect little family dad."

"Ronan!" A door slams, making both me and Nanny Sera jump. I've always found mr Jonathan scary despite the warm smiles he gives me.

"Oh dear, this is bad," She places a hand on her chest and leaves.

A few seconds later, Ronan enters the room, his angry face makes me hesitate whether I should touch him or not. He sits on the bed,his shoulders tense and head hanging low.

"He's already choosing them over me," he says with a strained voice, I kneel beside him.

"Just give it some time, your dad loves you,maybe he just wants some sort of peaceful ground in this house."

"Peace?" He scoffs. "They will not be peace in this house, I'll see to it."

"What if they're nice?" I try to make him reason because that heated conversation just scared the shit out of me.

"Tha fuck? Are you seriously trying to defend them? Who's side are you on Kimberly?"

"No no. I'm on your side, I just want you to maybe..feel some sort of comfortability," he shakes his head, letting out a sarcastic laugh.

"Not gonna happen."

* *An Hour Later* *

I reach home exhausted, I throw my purse on the couch and take a seat, letting out a long breath, I reach for my phone and scroll through my messages, replying to Noah's from three days ago.

Noah: just be careful,He's bad news. I hope you know what you're doing.

Me: Noah, if it makes you feel better, ok I will. Thanks for being concerned about me xo.

I massage my feet and head up to my room,sleep takes over in no time.

* *Five Days Later* *

"Shit!" I lift from the bed and look at the time on my clock hanging on the wall, 7:36am.

"Shit! Shit! Shit!" I rush to the bathroom and slip on the tiles.

"Ouchie...oho-ho."

I cry out, hurts like a bitch. It takes me a few tries to get up, I limp to the shower and it's the fastest I've ever taken. I rush into the closet and I hear Sam's car honking, I move to the window and peek down,

"crap! I overslept and it's a Monday..." I singsong the last part.

I pull on my stockings quickly,the motion sending me flying backwards.

"Whoa,whoa,whoa..!"

Thump.

"Kim honey are you okay up there?"

"I'm okay," I pant while putting on my shoes from my position on the floor,I get up and grab my backpack.

Rushing down the stairs I round the table and snatch an apple from the basket.

"Your food box honey."

"Oh!" I rush back and grab it.

"My kiss Kim!" Killian shouts.

Gosh! I rush back again and kiss him on the forehead.

"Bye!" I shut the door and run to the car, Sam groans.

"You're late,now I'm late too."

"Best friends Sam remember? Best friends no complaints," I slam the door shut.

"Easy there, this is my baby."

I roll my eyes.

We rush in the hallway,a few students linger there, mostly girls, giggling and whispering

"Did you see him? O.m.g!"
