My stomach was in knots, the way he looked at me with lust and anger in his eyes fueled the earthquake that was now my stomach. I was on the verge of breaking and crumbling beneath him. He was everything I wanted and the one thing I hated. The player in him made me weary, the passion he sparked in me made me crave him like my next breath. We were two magnets that shouldn’t be attracted to one another, yet there was no stopping either of us.

I gripped the book in my hands, like a life-line as it brought me back to the present. Chase was gone, having dismissed himself to clean up before dinner and I knew I should be doing the same, but I couldn’t move. His touch had encompassed me in a wave of emotions, and every time I came up for air I was knocked down by another wave.

“Gia?” Taylor was calling my name, and as I pulled myself from the darkness of my mind I knew I needed to get some advice, I knew I needed to call my mom.

“Yeah?” I smiled, my knuckles growing white against the book in my hands. She had walked into the kitchen with a smile that had fallen the second she had seen me. Guilt washed over me, was I wasting everyone’s time? Was I more of a burden that anything?

“Is everything okay? I called your name like five times. We’re about to set up everything in the media room… you want to come and help?” She talked to me as if I was a fragile piece of glass, capable of slicing her.

“I’ll…” I paused. “I’ll be there in a few. I need to put my things away and call my mom.” I stood up and turned on my heels¸ but was stopped mid-step by Taylor’s hand on my shoulder.

“I know it’s hard to want something and feel like it’s out of reach. I know it’s impossible to think you’re not alone, but you aren’t.” She whispered the words as if they were coming right from her heart and then released me. As soon as her hand was gone, I ran towards my room like a bullet being shot from a chamber.

My mother had gone through so much with my father, if there was anyone that had advice worth listening to it would be her.

The books in my hands fell to the floor as I slammed my bedroom door behind me, locking it just as fast. Pulling my phone out of my back pocket, I jumped onto my bed where Chase and I had last been together intimately. Looking at the very edge of the bed, I pushed the memories away. Now wasn’t the time to be thinking about what we had shared, what had started this whole ordeal.

Searching for my mom’s contact info, I hit the green key to call her. The phone rang twice before she picked up, her cheery voice filtering into the phone and melting away all the pain I felt.
