I felt his hot breath on my lips as butterflies flew and did the tango in my stomach. Volk played with my emotions and loved it. He knew i had feelings for him, yet he loved to play cat and mouse with me, but that was quickly taking away as Volk whispered in my ear..

"You have to promise not to tell anyone, Eau... No humans..." I heard the mercy in his voice.

"Why not.." I look at the boy hovering over me.

"Because.. If anyone else finds out, my whole family, your grandma, you, and anyone else will be killed." He mumbles and showed danger in his dark eyes. I couldn't handle the sight of my poor grandmother being killed. She is so innocent and wouldn't hurt a fly. I nodded at Volk.

"I won't tell.. But why?"

"Because if anyone finds out, the word could snake around the woods and go into an enemy's ear. If that happens.. A war could break out and kill everyone in this hell written town."

I was silent.

Volk was silent at my silence. Finally I spoke.

"But I already know.."

"But I trust you." He smiles and laid a gentle kiss on my forehead. My face brightened and I squirmed away, going to the window.

"I'll see you tomorrow.." I cleared my throat and opened the window.

"I can stay here, Eau. In fact, I am." He gets up but sat back down. I tabbed his hand and yanked him towards the window.

"No that'll make things worse." I walk behind him and try to push him out the window by pressing against his back. I felt his muscles bulge which made my face brighten. Volk spins around and engulfs me into a hug, which I gladly accepted. I went to hug him back but he slipped out the window.

I started to walk towards the window and to watch him but I saw his ripped back jog into the darkness. My heart started to flutter as my mind pondered more about this boy. I can't be in love with Volk... I just can't. It might come back and hurt one of us.. Or both of us.. Slowly, I turned away from the window and made my way to my closet. When I pulled my pajamas out of the closet, I clutched them to my chest as started to think more about him. After getting dressed for bed, I crawled under my quilt on my bed and tried going to sleep. But couldn't. I try squirming around to get a better position but nothing was working at this point. Finally, I was sprawled out and darkness began to take over. My eyes shifted to my window where the moon shined-- right before I went to sleep.

I woke up with a jolt and searched my room for anything that surprised me. All I saw was a branch from the tree across from my window scratching the window. That explains it.. I internally sigh about how much of a light sleeper I am before getting up and looking at my alarm clock. 6:29 AM. Literally a minute right before I wake up. I could still be sleeping!! When my alarm actually went off, I chucked it across the room and walked to my closet, grabbing a leather jacket, gray shirt, dark blue skinny jeans and gray lace up wedges. I hurry to the bathroom and strip, dancing in my black lace underwear and bra in the mirror to NBK by Niykee Heaton. (Above with gif)

"Fuck with me, fuck with me, I'm NBK." I laughed before getting dressed and applying my dark makeup. I then run the straighter in my hair once and jog, somehow in the wedges, downstairs.I grab my backpack and go into the kitchen. My grandma tosses a breakfast sausage mcmuffin at me as well as a bottle of orange juice. I rush out the door as my grandma yells something about Volk. I jog to the bus stop just to see the bus pulling up. Silently thanking God, I get on.

I squirm in between people in the aisle and flop in my seat. I turn to the seat across from mine and felt my whole world shatter. My eyes connect with Volk's eyes as I watched Shelly consume his lips with hers. His eyes had hints of "ha" or "suck on this" on them. Tears started to fall and I turned towards the window.
