💖 Claribel’s P.o.v💖
I was beyond shocked that Adrian introduced me as his friend,What am I missing here?
Why would Adrian do this to me?
“Okay, I nee-d explanations now,why did you do that? Why deny me in front of Jace?” I asked angrily the minute Jace left.
Adrian ran his hamd throu-gh his hair r0ûghly ma-king his hair stand up.
“Am sorry,okay? I did it for a reason”
“And what is the reason? Are your ashamed of me?”
“No,never,am not..Jace is my old friend from England, that’s all”
“If he’s your friend from England,why did you lie to him about me?”
“Because.. because Jace is a bad person,he is really bad and i did that to protect you”
“Protect me? And what would he do if he found out that i am your girlfriend?”
“I don’t know but plea-se,stay away from him,i don’t want you talking to him anymore”
“Adrian,you know am not a 5 year old that you can tell what to do”
“Damnit, Claribel,just do as i say, don’t talk to him and am going to be nee-ding you to not come out of the house without me”
“What? I can’t do that,Why are you hiding me? Adrian,what is really going on?”
” I alre-ady told you what is going on,Stay away from Jace,final”
“Fine but Adrian,if i find out that there’s more to this Jace stuff than you are telling,our relationsh!pwill be on the line”
He was shocked at what i said,i looked away from him and walked away.

“Dude,you can’t possibly tell her what to do, she’s not 5 years old”
I c@m£ over to Isaac’s place since i really nee-d someone to talk to.
“I know but i just hope she listens to me”
“When are you going to tell her the truth?”
“Am not planning to”
“What do you mean by you are not planning to?
You said it yourself that she said if she finds out you were lying,your relationsh!pis on the line”
“I know,Isaac,i just don’t want her to leave, She’s the only stable thing in my life right now,i can’t lose her”
If Claribel finds out about what happened in England, she’ll leave me and i don’t want that.
“How are you and Shannon doing?”
“We fought this morning”
“Really? Why?”
“You know Bella,my childhood friend,she c@m£ around and wants to spend time with me, Shannon doesn’t like the idea and she wants me to stay away from her”
“Isaac,you know you can’t neglect your girlfriend for your childhood friend”
“Shannon is just being over dramatic and jealous”
💖 Claribel’s P.o.v💖
“Shannon,i just have a feeling that he’s lying to me” I said to Shannon over the phone.
“Why would you think that?”
“I know him like i know the back of my palm, he’s definitely lying” i said and Shannon sighed.
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s Isaac,we fought all because of that bit-ch called Bella”
“Bella? His childhood friend?”
“Yeah,I know she’s trying to steal Isaac from me and he isn’t noticing, Clary, i hate her”
“When i saw her at the mall with you guys,i knew she would be an obnoxious stupid bimbo, Shannon if you nee-d any help dealing with her,you have my support”
“I was planning on dealing with her till she went back to where she c@m£ from but Isaac said if i t©uçh her,our relationsh!pis over”
“He said that?”
“Yes,he did so i sl@pped him and left his house”
“Why are boys so stupid?”
“But we can’t help but to love them”

The Next Day.
I was still at Adrian’s house,it was early in the morning,i woke up from his be-d but i couldn’t find him.
I went down and he was on the phone with someone.
“Okay,i will be re-ady by 7” He said over the phone then ended the call,he turned around and was shocked in seeing me.
“Gosh,you scared me”
“Who were you talking to?” I asked and he scratched the back of his n£¢k.
“Um.. it’s Jace”
“Jace? I thought you said that he’s a bad person so why hang out with him?”
“He’s still my friend and he and some of my friends from England are coming over for a p@rty tonight”
“Really? That’s good,i get to meet your old friends”
“No,Babe,you won’t be meeting them because you are not coming to this p@rty”
“And why?”
“Jace has interest in you,he told me”
“I told him the first time we met,that i had a b©yfri£nd”
“Jace doesn’t care about that,he always gets what he wants and you are this next target”
“So what do you expect me to do?”
“You will lock yourself in my room throu-gh out the night”
“What? So i will become a prisoner in my b©yfri£nd’s house”
“It’s just for tonight”
“You are the cause of all these,you could have told him that i was your girlfriend,we wouldn’t be doing all this”
“I alre-ady told you that it’s for your own good,you are not attending this p@rty and that’s final”
He took his phone from the table and walked away.

😍 Adrian’s P.o.v😍
The time said 6:30,am sure they are alre-ady on their way,i was dressing up in my room.
Claribel was on the be-d, doing something on her phone, since our little disagreement this morning,she started ignoring me.
“Babe?” I called out but she pretended like she was the only one in the room.
I c@m£ closer to her but she moved away quic-kly,I sighed de-eply.
“Am doing this for your own good,Jace is nothing but trouble,I love you so much,Claribel”
She didn’t respond and it was really killing me,i don’t want us to fight like this but i have to get rid of Jace first.
A few minutes later and the doorbell rang.
“Claribel, plea-se don’t come out of the room,lock it from the inside”
I went downstairs to open the door and hoping that Claribel doesn’t come downstairs.

💖 Claribel’s P.o.v💖
Adrian really pissed me off this morning, I can’t believe he asked me to stay here all throu-gh the night because he thinks Jace wants me,if he just told Jace the truth,none of this would be happening.
I looked around the room and noticed that he kept so many novels and snacks for me, guess am stuck here.

3 Hours Later.
It’s been a fv¢king three hours,i have managed to re-ad 3 novels and all my snacks are finished,am bored out of my mind.
“This is total bull cra-p” I said to myself,i heard laughter and giggling from downstairs,i wonder what they are doing.
“Let me just have a peek” i said to myself,i unlocked the door and ti-p toed to the edge of the stairs.
I looked down and there were 3 guys and 2 girls,one of the girls was so close to Adrian,he said something to her and she giggled.
I walked back to the room and closed the door.
“So am in here going throu-gh extreme boredom while he is busy hovering over a skank” I said to myself angrily.
I immediately changed from the pajamas shorts and tank t©p i was wearing to a crop t©p and ti-ght jeans,i brushed my hair properly.
“You can’t treat me like a child, Adrian”
I took a de-ep breath and started descending the stairs, they were all focused on something but one of the guys looked up and whistled earning the attention of others.
Adrian had the expression of shock and little anger on his face.
“Goodness,Who is this beauty?” One of the guys said,Jace was staring at me like he could see throu-gh my clothes.
😍 Adrian’s P.o.v😍
When i thought this night would go smoothly,Claribel showed up,She didn’t stay in the fv¢king room like i instructed.
Jace’s eyes were all over her and not just him,both Nathan and Scott.
“Goodness,who is this beauty?” Nathan asked he lvstfully stared at Claribel.
“Am Claribel, Adrian’s.. friend”
“Well,you are h0t”
“Thanks,so what are you guys doing?”
“Well,we were just remembering old times with Adrian”
“Nice,can i join?”
“Of course,you can sit with me” Jace said as he dragged Claribel to a couch.
“Oh,by the way,this is Steph and Chelsey”
💖 Claribel’s P.o.v💖
“Oh,by the way,this is Steph and Chelsey” The guy named Nathan said,the two girls waved at me while i managed a smile,Steph was the one so close to Adrian.
Speaking of Adrian,He kept giving me glares,i avoided his gaze at me.
We all started talking about different things,Jace is really funny same with Nathan and Scott,their accent was so thick.

An Hour Later.
😍 Adrian’s P.o.v😍
“It’s almost midnight,i think Claribel should be going home now” I said trying not to sound so angry at the fact that Jace is literally drooling over Claribel,he hasn’t kept his hands to himself all night.
“Chill,dude,Claribel can take care of herself and besides i didn’t see her walk in throu-gh the front door,does she live here?”
“No,i don’t,i just c@m£ to see Adrian” She said and smiled at Jace.
“We would love to hang out with you again, You are really cool” Steph said and she and Claribel high fived.
“If you want to go home,i can take you”Jace offers,the urge to punch his face is on the t©p.
“I would love that”
Jace held her hands and k!$$£d it,then he started leaning over, that’s when i lost it.
I lurched at him and punched him to the ground.
He pushed me off him,Jace is very strong,i think i learnt how to fight from him.
“What’s your problem,dude?”
“The problem is that i don’t like you tou-ching my girlfriend”I said earning g@sps from my friends.
💖 Claribel’s P.o.v💖
“The problem is that i don’t like you tou-ching my girlfriend” Adrian said and everyone g@sps in shock.
“What the hell?”
“What did you just say,Coleman?” Jace asked with anger on his face
“Claribel is not my friend, she’s my girlfriend”
“About time you told them” i said and he gave me a ha-rd glare.
“Don’t stare at me like that”
“Why did you come out? I specifically told you not to come out of my room”
“That’s the problem,you can’t tell me what to do,am not some little girl.
What’s going on? I don’t see anything bad about Jace or your friends so why hide me from them”
“Adrian,tell her the truth,she deserves it” Jace said.
“You shut up”
“What truth?” I said looking back and forth from Jace and Adrian.
“Tell her, Coleman”
“If you talk one more time,i will punch you” Adrian said to Jace,who just chuckled.
“TELL ME THE TRUTH” I yelled.
“Okay,fine, promise you won’t leave me”
“Adrian,tell me the truth”
“I lied to you about the reason i c@m£ to America”
“So it wasn’t because your dad died”
“No,he died way before i c@m£ here,When i was in England,i joined a gang”
“A gang?”

💖 Claribel’s P.o.v💖
My head is spinning around in circles at what Adrian said.
“plea-se,tell me you are joking” i said and he looked away,i looked around andJace was busy sm-irking.
“Look,Claribel,our gang wasn’t those type of gang where we kill people,so don’t be scared” Nathan said and i was relieved.
“So what’s the big truth?”
“After my dad died, I got even more angry at life,i had no reason to live or be happy,so i joined Jace and his friends,we would go to drug sto-res and steal drugs,then sell it.
I got my tattoo when i was just 16,i forged my mom’s signature”
“Tell her the main thing, Coleman”
“The boys and i used to bet on girls we would sleep with,we would challenge ourselves on who could sleep with the most girls in a week,it was fun at that time and it made me forget my problems.
Until,Hailey c@m£ into the picture”
“Who is Hailey?” I asked and Adrian tried to come close to me but i moved back.
“Adrian,who is Hailey?”
“Hailey was one of the girls we bet on,she was ha-rd to get and we found out that she was a vir-gin,So Jace and i made a hvge bet, that whoever sle-pt with her would get a hundred thousand dollars.
I didn’t care about the money,i was just doing it to make myself feel happy”
“So what happened next?”

😍 Adrian’s P.o.v😍
“So what happened next?” Claribel asked,i could see she was alre-ady disappointed in me.
“Babe, plea-se, let’s just…
“No, Adrian,tell me everything,now,i deserve to know”
“So we started in our own ways to make her fall into our tra-p but it turned out that Jace fell in love with her and begged me to not go forward with my plan.
I pretended to agree with him but i went behind his back and sle-pt with her,the group didn’t believe so i brou-ght the be-d sheets with blood stains on it”
“Oh my god,Adrian,how could you deceive someone like that?”
“Jace didn’t believe me so i recorded myself slee-ping with her for the second time”
Claribel had a shock expression on her face.
“You what?! You recorded her slee-ping with you, You are monster”
“That’s not all,Claribel”Jace said and i gave him a ha-rd glare.
“Tell me everything”
“Claribel,you don’t..
“Adrian,if you try to t©uçh me one more time,i swear that i will sl@p you”
“When i showed Jace the recording,we got into a hvge fight and at that moment i uploaded the video on the internet,i edited my face out.
Everyone saw it including Hailey’s parents,she was kicked out of the house”
“So where is she now?”
“After her parents kicked her out,she c@m£ over to my place telling me she loves me and asked if she could stay over but i kicked her out, since then i don’t know where she is”
“So you are trying to tell me that you ruined her life and after ruining it,you didn’t offer to help her”
“I was a j£rk at that time”
“You are still a j£rk,you lied to me about everything, about your past”
“Am sorry”
“How am i even sure you love me just like you always say?”
“Babe, you know that’s not even up for discussion,I am crazy about you,i love you”
“You lied to me about all this so how am i sure you are not lying to me now”
I tried to t©uçh her but she resisted.
“I TOLD YOU NOT t©uçh ME,YOU LIAR”
She ran her hands throu-gh her hair.
“You are only right about one thing,You don’t deserve me,i told you that if i find out you were lying to me,our relationsh!pwill be on the line” She said and walked out the door.
“Now,you know how i felt when Hailey left”Jace said to me.
💖 Claribel’s P.o.v💖
I walked out of Adrian’s house feeling so confused, it’s so late and i don’t kmow how to get back home.
I can’t believe he lied to me about everything,now I can’t help but think about that girl called Hailey,She must have gone throu-gh alot.
“I can drive you home” Adrian’s voice broke throu-gh my thoughts,i looked at him then looked away.
“Fine”
The drive to my house was so quiet, I could feel Adrian’s stare at me from time to time,my mind kept wondering to Hailey.
What if she committed suicide because her situation was horrible.
How did she cope when Adrian destroyed her life?
“We are here”
I c@m£ out immediately without sparing him a glance,i got to my front porch,i saw someone leaning on the wall.
“Shannon?”
She looked up at me and she was crying,she hvgged me immediately.
“He..I saw them k!ssing,Isaac and Bella.. k!ssing” She managed to say as she was crying.
“That sick bastard,how dare him?”
“Babe, plea-se i can explain” Isaac said as he jumped out of his car.
“Get out..both of you,leave us alone” i said to both Adrian and Isaac.
“Shannon, plea-se just..
“Didn’t you hear her? Get out,i don’t want to see your face”
“Let’s go inside”
Shannon and i went inside and i locked the door.
T.B.C�
Tears everywhere 🙆🏾♀🙆🏾♀😀😀

Good night guys ❤
