Playlist - Without Me by Halsey

Luna

I stared at him momentarily, surprised how eerily calm and relaxed he was, stretched out on my bed and eyeing my near-nakedness up and down. "Well, just take that robe off."

I wanted to scream and run. I did not expect to see him here out of all the people I know. "What the hell, Chase. How dare you show up here."

"Big words out of your mouths," he chuckled. "Finally got the d*ck you wanted?" The causality of his tone scared me. It was as if we were happily discussing the weather.

I tightened the robe around my body and brushed off my damp hair. One thing I've learned about Chase that he feeds off fear and weakness. That's how he got Mia in the first place.

"Shut up and get out of my house." I was surprise how strong my voice came out despite the fear bubbling inside. "I'll call the cops on you."

His dark gaze became even darker and I swear to God, it was like looking into the eyes of devil. His white tshirt and black jeans just radiated his perfect physique and made him look attractive. Mia fell for that pretty face, inside was all ugly.

'Go ahead," he challenged. "Call them."

I was tempted to call them, but I didn't have the phone with me. I saw the light shining brightly on my nightstand which was beside Chase. Oh, shoot!

I could do two things. Either attempt in getting hold on my phone or........ rushing downstairs to my cordless. I was sure either way Chase is going to fight me.

"What do you want?" I had to stall him. "Just tell me and get the fuck out."

He feigned a sigh. "I can't believe you think how dumb I am. Do you really think I wouldn't have backup with me downstairs.?" He relaxed furthermore my bed. "If you want to make a run for the phone, be careful cause there are men in your living room who would love nothing more than a barely clothed girl making an appearance."

I gasped at him, in shock. No wonder Mia was trapped by this..... man. Although he shouldn't be called a man. He was far too young to be anything but.

"Okay." Feeling the sudden defeat crawling inside me. "You win, now tell me what you want."

"Come here." He curled two fingers, gesturing me to go to him. I gaped at his audacity. Unable to understand how twisted his brain was, I continued to stare at him. "I don't have all the time in the world for you." Although, he may sound crude, but his expression was of someone at peace.

"No, I'm not someone you can order around," I said, firmly. "Anything you want to talk to me about could be done right where I am standing. Say you piece and leave."

"Wow," he let out a rick bark of a laugh. He snatched my phone from the nightstands. "Well, I think I'll just have a fun time reading your poor love letters for Axel."

My eyes widened at his words. He knew?

"Oh, yeah. I know a great deal about it. Wouldn't it be fun if the entire school somehow got to read all of them? I actually really like the idea."

"Chase, please," I beg. "Don't do this."

"What's the password?" He pointed at my iPhone screen. "I hope it's not something expected...." He paused and tapped on my iPhone. "Oh, 1,2,3,4 is such a lame password."

Oh, damn it! I thought people never tried opening others phones with an obvious password.

"Let's see what you have in here." I couldn't let him invade my privacy furthermore. I made a run for my phone.

"Give it back," I said, frustrated. "What the fuck is your problem." Whilst trying to grab my phone from him, he suddenly grabbed my waist and pinned me down on the bed.

He straddled me, thrusting all his weight on me. "You always gear up for a fight. Learn to back the f*ck down."

With all my strength, I kicked his stomach. He grunted in pain and in that moment of weakness, I rolled over to the edge of the bed, trying to get away from him.

A rough hand pulled me back, I yelped in response. "Stop behaving like a child, you idiot,"I cried out, frustrated.

I was again flat on my bed with Chase hovering over me. "I am acting like a child?" He almost sounded appalled. "No, you are the little annoying kid who loves sticking her nose in matters that don't concern her."

"When there is my bestfriend involved, it will concern me," I said, sharply. My fingers dug into the exposed area around his neck. "You have let Mia go. You're ruining her."

He roughly took my chin in his hand and leaned down, our face dangerously close. "I'm riding on a very low patience with you, sweetheart." His eyes never once moved from staring into my eyes. "You are on the fucking brink of ruining my life. Do you really think I can let you walk away without ruining your life first?"

"Ruining your life? Huh. You live in a world of fantasy, Henry," I spit the words at him. "What have I ever done to you? Nothing. You, on other hand, are doing nothing, but commanding people on the snap of your fingers. That's not how things work in the real world."

His eyes sharpened and started daggers at me. "You know nothing about me neither do you know anything about Mia. You don't even know anything about our relationship."

"I know plenty."

"You know nothing," he yelled. "She fed you some bullshit and you believed it."

I tried to free my hand from within his steel grip, but was met with no such luck. He was stronger than me.

"I will surely let Charlotte know what type of a monster she'll be marrying." He tensed. I bet he didn't think I'd know about his marriage arrangement. "You're nothing more than a little boy with a hell lot of daddy issues."

"Tell me what Mia told you." He didn't ask, but demanded. "I need to know everything."

"Why don't you ask Mia about it," I sneered at him. "I bet she'll tell you everything."

"Don't act so fucking cocky, Luna. You'll fall down, because you're messing with wrong people," he warned.

I raised myself up with the support of my elbows, matching the intensity of his words. "Bring it on, Chase. I will not back down without a fight."

He threw his head back laughing, lifting some of it's weight off me. "Trusting wrong people will cost and don't come crying to me when you realize the truth."

I let out a genuine chuckle. "Definitely not in this universe. No, Chase, you'll be the one who'll take the fall. I will bring you down and I will get Mia out of your leash."

"You really don't think she's staying there willingly? Keep creating a false narrative to make yourself sleep at night."

"S-She doesn't want to be with you." There was a little conviction missing from my words.

"I feel sorry for you. You really don't know anything. I don't even want to waste a second on you. You're doomed anyway."

He lifted completely off from me and stood in front of my bed.

"What does that supposed to mean?" I asked him. "Stop speaking in riddles here."

"Nuh-uh. It's exactly what you deserve." With that he left, leaving me a little shook.

I was lying on my bed until I was sure he was out of my house.. I trashed my bed, feeling an enormous amount of rage within me.

Could it be possible that Mia was with him because she wanted to be? I shook my head, not willing to accept it. I don't give a damn what Chase had told. I will anyhow get Mia back.
