Nicole end the girl call as she heard no reply from the girl. Nicole hurriedly left her house, hoping to reach the girl before anything farther happen. She knew what she did was wrong. She knew she should have never get involved with one of her students. But in no way does she regret it.

Something about Eva just completely drew her in. The vulnerability, the shy nature and the beauty of the girl blew her away. She could see the girl needed help. Nicole knew if she helped the girl, the girl would be intrigued by her.

She had watched the girl from the first time she saw her and the bruise on her face. She observe how the girl was always alone. Eva ate and alone and never saw her talk with anyone. Her head was always down and somehow had bruises almost everyday on her face. Eva's posture was always stiff and in alert. Probably scared of being bullied.

The cuts on the girls arms also told her the girl was suicidal. She wanted to help the girl anyway she could. She didn't wanted to add the pain the young girl had already.

Looking into her eyes Nicole saw the fear and worry in Eva eyes. Looking vulnerable and scared. She felt the overwhelming urge to protect the girl.

When she first decided to persuade the girl, she wasn't to sure if the young girl even like girls or even if she was, would she even go for an elder woman. The moment she realised that the girl felt something for her was when Eva was always staring at her, never maintaining eye contact and was a blush mess whenever she spoke or give the girl the tiniest amount of attention. And when she admitted she wanted to kiss her.

Nicole was like she didn't notice, but she did and it send butterflies in her stomach.

For Nicole having someone look at her that way made her feel powerful and confident. She ate on the girls fascination on her. She knew it was wrong, but she could not help it. She forgot that she was married in the process but coming home and seeing her husband made her feel the guilt of hurting the girl more and more. She was a cheater.

The guilt she felt when she took Eva's first kiss and virginity made her realise how far in she was. She realised that she was starting to fall slowly but surely in love with the girl.

With Eva, she felt young and exhilarating. She loved being around the girl. Even though it hasn't been that long.

In the end she knew she was going to get caught. When she told Eva the truth her heart felt like it was going to fall out of her chest. It broke her heart hearing the young girls voice crack with hurt and betrayal. She felt her own tears gather in her eyes. But hearing the girl having a panic attack send her over the edge.

"Where are you go... going Nicole?" She heard her drunken husbands voice slur from the sofa.

She didn't have time to deal with his drunkenness. The man, Aaron, was always drunk. Always drinking and never home. She hated the man he became. She knew he was cheating on her. At first she cried and was hurt, but slowly fell out of love with him and it no longer hurt. Eva was the one she wanted.

She was in the process of filing for a divorce.

"I'm going to the shop" she replied dryly.

She got to her car and drove above the speed limit to Eva's house.

"Come on, come on!" She spoke irritatedly to herself as she stop by a red light. Running her fingers through her hair.

Finally she made it to Eva's house. The house was beautiful. She knocked but quickly entered and ran toward the stairs hoping that she is going in the direction to the girls room. She saw a room with a lilac colour door and entered it.

There she saw the girl, laying on her back with her phone clutched in her hand. Tears entered her eyes. Hastily she walked to the girl on the bed. She got on the bed and pulled the unconscious girl in her arms. She sob into the girls hair and rocked her back and forth.

If only she never lied.

She lifted her face out of the girls hair before looking at her face. She stroke the girls dampen cheek. Tears stain on her redden cheeks. She looked peaceful, no worry and fear present. Her body relaxed.

"I'm sorry Eva, so sorry" she muttered softly.

She hoped the girl would forgive her, because she was the person Nicole wanted. Nicole hoped the girl would listen to and what she has to say.
