Y/n's Pov

Y/n!" A familiar voice reached my ear as I made my way up the stairs to my room. I turned to see Jayme and Sloane walking up behind me.

"Are you fucking real?" Jayme whisper-yelled at me, narrowing her eyes. "I've been trying to reach you the whole weekend. Where have you been? You got me worried sick!"

"I'm sorry, Jayme," I replied, not knowing what to say or where to start.

"As you should"

We all turned around to see Fei heading are way up the stairs to meet with us. "Now tell us what the hell happened at your engagement party. Suddenly, you disappeared into thin air, and every station was telling the news about your kidnapping, and then they twisted it, saying that you ran away with your lover. I don't understand anything."

"Ben had been cheated of me," I said, and to my surprise, those words didn't even hurt anymore.

"What?!" Fei gave me the more puzzled look.

"We know that already, Y/n" Jayme stated.

Fei turned her gaze to Jayme. "You knew this whole time, I asked what happen that night at the club, and you said you didn't know."

"So, Sloane knew too."

Fei turned to Sloane now with the same gaze she gave Jayme. "You did too!" Fei shouted.

"With who?" Fei said before stepping closer to me.

"With some random girl at the club," I added, with my voice indifferent.

Fei stood there speechless, watching me with confusion. Just as her crow landed on her right shoulder.

"Holy shit." Sloane eyes suddenly grew wider with shock as she set them on something behind me. Or rather someone.

"You got to be shitting me." Jayme mumbled, articulating the words slowly, stunned.

Me and Fei turned back, leaning my body against the cold staircase, watching Ben entering the academy with the girl he cheated on me with, holding her hand in his. Jayme, Sloane, and Fei ping-ponging their gazes between Ben, his new girlfriend, and me. I hated being the spotlight. I took a deep breath, wishing I could sink through the floor. Ben, in contrast, seemed to enjoy his little performance. I rolled my eyes, turning back to Jayme, Sloane and Fei.

"Come one, let's get ready for training." I asked the girls, sighing slightly annoyed.

Sloane shook her head, mouth open. "You don't care, Y/n? You were supposed to get engaged. How can you be so calm?"

"I met someone," I said.

"The guy you left your engagement party with?" Jayme eyes darted between mine.

"Yes, Five." I smiled softly. "And for the first time in my life, I felt something..." I paused, thinking I said to much. "Anyways, I need to get change for training, I'll see you guys there?"

Fei nodded, before heading back downstairs along with Slone.

"I hope you know what you're doing, Y/n." Jayme stated before making her way downstairs to follow Fei and Sloane to the training room.

I hope so too.

But the truth was, I had no idea what I was doing. I just let things happen and went with the flow.

I finally made my way into my room and got changed into my training clothes. I made me way out my room and headed straight to the girls. Until I bump into someone.

"Are you serious?" I asked Ben's new girlfriend, trying to keep my cool even though the audacity of this woman had me fuming.

"What's the problem, Y/n. Isn't it?" she mocked, and I rolled my eyes. "After all, your relationship with Ben was fake, wasn't it?" She said clearly and loudly, making sure everyone in the academy could hear it. But I didn't bother to comment. I wasn't going anywhere I play this bitch's wicked games.

I hung my bag on my arm and trotted toward the gym where I met Fei, Jayme and Sloan stretching.

"You alright, you took awhile?" Fei asked.

"Yeah, just need to find my gym bag." I lied before sting in the ground. I searched for my phone in my gym bag and started a new conversation.

I typed fast, scrolled through my contacts to find my ex's number, and set sent, I set my phone on the ground and began to stretched my arms out. I was surprised how it took Ben only a minute to reply. I felt my phone vibrating, and I grab my phone of the ground quickly opened the text.

I inhaled and exhaled a few times deeply before typing a response. I was dead set on not letting them get under my skin.

I noticed I still had his number saved with a black heart emoji next to it, so I immediately corrected that inadmissible mistake.

"Y/n, you good?" Jayme sat down next to me, holding her gym bag in her left hand.

"Yeah, let's get started." I put my phone back inside my bag and stood up, trying to focus on my training.

I sat on the family couch in the the living room, waiting for Ben. My heart fluttered in my rib cage, my fingers fidgeting. I was quite restless because I wasn't the type to enjoy any of drama, unlike Fei and Jayme, but the same time, I had to confront Ben.

"Well, we'll. Who do we have here?" His mocking tone snapped me out of my thoughts.

I straightened up, clearing my throat. "We need to talk."

"What? Did you miss my dick already?" He taunted, putting his hands in his pockets and setting his rage-filled gaze on me. "Or did your lover boy get bored with you yet?"

"Don't be such an asshole, Ben," I said dryly, rolling my eyes. I crossed my arms and looked him in the eyes. "I want your new girlfriend to stop spreading rumors about our relationship being fake."

He scoffed. "They aren't rumors."

"Ben, please!" I knitted my brows, sighing. "Neither of us is without blame here, but let's have some respect for each other."

Ben took a few steps closer to me, leaning again the wall behind me, trapping me between his arms. "You're talking about respect?" he hissed, his eyes filled with fury. "You're the one that disrespected me in front of the whole state!"

I cling to the support from behind me. "Move back," I said, pushing Ben out of my way. I was about to walk away, until I felt something rap around my waist and my gaze went down to look at look and realize it was one of Ben's tentacles wrapping around me. I turned to gaze at Ben, who just smirked at me. With a blink of a eye, he pulled me toward him with his tentacles.

"You should be mine, Y/n" Ben hissed through his clenched teeth, dropping his gaze to my lips, he brushed them with his thumb. "You are mine."

He grabbed my chin with his fingers so forcefully that it hurt. He moved his other hand to my waist, pressing me against the cold frame, caging me in. I tired to free myself from his grip but it was in vain. I was taken off guard. He was too strong, and everything was happening too fast. He crashed his lips into mine, forcing me to kiss him. I groaned, squirming as much I could to set myself free, but the more I tired, the more he kept pushing me against the wall, squeezing my chin harder. Suddenly. I heard a whoosh somewhere, that I couldn't see from where, someone grabbed Ben by his arm and swiftly pulled him away, and I could finally catch a breath.

"Five?!" I cried out, watching how he punched Ben with a killer rage in his eyes.

"You shouldn't have don't that!" Five hissed, his voice cold with anger.

I jumped up in fear, covering my mouth as I screamed, watching Ben falling on the ground, blood bursting out from his nose. I watched him struggle to stand up, ultimately rooted to the spot, my heart pounding.

"You fucking broke my nose!" Ben shouted angrily, wiping the blood away from his mouth.

"Stay the fuck away from Y/n," Five threatened, his gaze deadly. "Or next time, I'll break more than just your nose."

He shove past Ben and took my hand. His mere  touch made me feel safe and secure. We headed for the door leaving the academy, leaving Ben swearing and shouting all kinds of names after us, but I didn't look back. I held Five's hand tight, thankful he showed up in time. Not only there, but in my life in general.

But one thing I was stunk on. How did he get in the house? When we leave the academy the door was lock. How did Five get in so fast?
