"Kai," I whispered as my orgasm faded and my body settled. I pressed the power button on my toy and pulled it out, tossing it on my discarded towel and wiping my cum soaked hands on the towel.

"My beautiful Sin. I wish I could see you right now" Kai's voice was hoarse like he had been breathing hard listening to my climax. The thought of him getting off my self-love session was turning me on again.

"Did you touch yourself, Doctor?"

"I kept my word and kept my hands to myself." I didn't think Kai would lie to me, not over this.

I laid back on my pillow and activated the selfie camera on my phone. I took a flattering picture of myself, my tits barely covered by my hair, but enough skin showed Kai I had nothing on. I sent it to him.

"I sent you a reward for behaving tonight. Now, I need to sleep. I have a busy day tomorrow."

I heard his breath hitch; he must have seen the picture I sent.

"Sin." Kai's voice was desperate, low, almost a cry to me.

"Goodnight, Kai" I hung up the phone before he could say anything else.

Sinclair

Promnight.

Since Mia and I didn't have dates to prom, Kai took us both. He looked like the big man tonight with two girls in his arms. We ate dinner at some fancy steak house with the rest of Kais track team and their dates, then shared a limo to the dance at the school's gym.

We danced almost the whole time. For some songs, I danced with Kai, and some Kai and Mia danced. It was the most magical night of my life. I guess that's the whole point of prom, one last night of magic before going off into the real world.

Mia's mom took us shopping earlier in the month for our dresses. I had been working part-time at their shop for a couple of years now. So, she didn't need to buy me things anymore, but she insisted on buying my prom dress. Daisy treated me like her daughter, more than my own mother did. Especially the past year.

I spent most of my time at Mia's house anyway. Most nights were better at her house than at home. They got Mia bunk beds, so I didn't have to sleep in the sleeping bag on the floor anymore. Mia's parents did that the day after my father went to jail almost four years ago now. Since then, we've been more like sisters than best friends.

Graduation was in a month. I got into ASU, Kai was following in his dad's footsteps and going to San Diego State. He wanted to be a doctor.

Mia planned to take things slow and hold down the fort for us here. She said someone needed to keep Tess and Callum out of trouble. Noah was off at college already so it would be up to her to be in charge while we were away.

She planned to manage her parent's shop while taking a few classes at the community college. It was cheaper that way and helped her to save money.

I got lucky, and my maternal grandmother left me with enough money to go to a good college. When she died, she left a stipulation in her will, the money was for college, and college only. I wondered if she knew my parents would have blown through all the money in a day otherwise.

As the night ended, we decided to walk home rather than try to cram back into the limo with a horde of sweaty, overstimulated horny teens. No thanks.

The night was cool for the end of April. We dropped Mia off at her house first. I told her I needed to stay home with my mother tonight because she hadn't left the house in days. I needed to make sure she didn't die while I stayed at Mia's.

I don't know why, but since my dad died, it was my responsibility to make sure my mother lived. She may not care about me, but a part of me still needed her.

After leaving Mias, we walked in the direction of my house. We talked about graduation and college. We talked about how weird life was going to be for all of us to be separated.

Kai admitted that he hurt a little because we were going to go to different schools. College would be the first time the three of us were apart for more than a short vacation since we met.

But we promised to stick together as much as possible. He would drive down to ASU with me in August and would pick me up for winter break. Even though my drive was out of the way for him, he said it was worth it to be able to spend our holidays home with Mia.

Mia's parents offered to let me stay with them on holidays and during the summer, so I didn't have to go home to my mother and that shit hole of a house, and all the nightmares inside.

"What is your college girlfriend going to think when she finds out you're driving an extra four hundred or so miles to pick up some girl?" I asked Kai as we stepped onto my front porch.

"You're not 'some girl' Sin." He looked at me. We stood eye to eye with me on the step above him. "You're Sinclair Grant, the girl who fights for what she believes in and sets fire to things that make her mad." He laughed and touched his forehead to mine.

I would never be forgiven for that night. The night I changed so many lives because I had enough. I was broken, and I couldn't be fixed, and my best friends didn't want to let me forget it.
