Ones that haunted me since I was fifteen.

“Hey princess. Miss me?”

I’m ready to push him off me but his hands grip my wrists against the wall, not letting me move.

Hayden’s bigger, taller, and just less boy and more man.

I’m standing at 5’7 and he is around 6’3. He is towering over me like he did when we were younger, only now he is filled out and not skinny with some muscle.

I can see the muscle through his clothes and it makes my hands start to sweat as he holds me down.

“Let go of me, asshole,” I say, trying to get out of his hold.

“Now why would I do that when I promised you what I would do to you?”

I glare at him through my eyelashes while he just smirks down at me with darkness in his eyes.

“I’ve been through shit. Shit you wouldn’t even be able to comprehend in that pretty little head of yours. You don’t want to get on my bad side because if you do, I’ll fucking ruin you.”

Oh god, he’s going to rape me or kill me.

He can’t do that, right?

I’m overthinking again.

“I’ll call the police. I can yell and scream and someone will come and get me. So let go of me before I do that and have you arrested.”

“You think that scares me?” He leans down, his lips dangerously close to my face. I can feel his hot breath hitting my cheek making me shiver. Since getting diabetes, feeling things on my skin is just overwhelming. People touching me feels more intense than it did before I was fourteen years old and as time flew by, the more sensitive I got. “What did I promise you?” I bite on my tongue, refusing to give him satisfaction of seeing me scared. His hold on one of my wrists disappears and he leans closer to me. His hand holds my jaw and tilts my head up to make me look at him. “What did I say, Jaclyn?”

“To make sure I never see you,” I say, glaring at him. “Are you that obsessed that you really are still keeping a hold on that promise? Grow the hell up, dude. It's been like what? Six years?”

“Four.”

“You’re psychotic to remember that. Get your nasty hands off of me.” I use my free wrist to grab his shoulder, his big, strong shoulder, and push him away from me. He lets me and walks back until his back hits the opposite wall. The hallway is slim so our toes are still almost touching but at least I don’t feel surrounded by him. “Don’t touch me again.”

“Or what? You’ll tell on me?” Hayden smirks and raises an eyebrow at me.

I don’t know what I will do to him.

He’s bigger, stronger, taller, and has this voice that probably makes girls do anything they want for him.

“Trust me, even though you are bigger and stronger, nothing is more delicate than the mind. I can do some real damage there. You say I don’t know what you have gone through, but I can easily find out by just getting in your head.” I lean off the wall and hold my bag to my side. “Don’t touch me again.” I repeat before leaving him in the hallway, ignoring the butterflies swarming in my stomach.

Jaclyn

Natalia pulls me through the club that is blasting “On My Own” by Darci. Lights are hitting every direction of the club and you see people screaming and dancing to the DJ who is getting the crowd hyped up.

My eyes go to the bar and tables on the side of the club where some people are either making out on the sofas or just eating food. What really catches my attention is the cage in the middle of the club. In the cage there are two guys punching and kicking one another.

I want to stand there and watch how they are brutally punching one another but Natalia continues to pull me in the direction of the bar.

“So my boyfriend and his friends are waiting at the bar. I already told them I was bringing you so you don’t have to worry about them not knowing or anything,” Natalia yells while she pushes through people.

While we push through people I have to pull down the dress that Natalia forced me to wear. I was going to wear simple jeans and a nice top but Natalia told me to come over so we could get ready together and she threw a black mini dress to my head before demanding me not to argue with her and change.

During class today she asked if I wanted to hangout with her but I thought we would just go to a nice quiet coffee shop, not a club where there is a cage in the middle of the room.
