I woke up from a pounding headache. I groaned at the intense throbbing discomfort. Besides the rather uncomfortable way I woke up today, I had been feeling a lot better. I was happy to be back at school and live my life fairly normal again. Sam and David had been super supportive and Ava has been an angel trying her hardest to keep me from drowning. Going to the police office was hard, especially because they waved it off but I wasn't going to let it get to me. I refused to go back to the place I was in a few days ago.

I didn't want James to have any power over me anymore. I was sick and tired of being a victim of his manipulative and abusive games. If he wanted to leak those photo's and videos of me, I was just gonna have to deal with it. At the end of the day, I've been through worse. This too I shall overcome.

I rubbed my eyes and looked around me to look for Ava. She was nowhere to be found. I raised an eyebrow, wondering where she could be.

I stepped out of bed and looked around the apartment, but there was no trace of her. I scratched my head and checked the time. Maybe school had already started and I just somehow slept through it all.

I grabbed the phone Ava had bought for me yesterday. James still had my old phone so I needed a new one and she was so kind to buy me one.

6:10AM. Worry started to take over. Why was she not here? I checked my messages but nothing. I decided to text her.

R: Are you okay? Where are you?

The moment I hit sent I heard the front door being opened.

"Ava?" I asked, not sure who else it could be.

"Oh, hi beautiful. Why are you up so early?" She replied.

"That's something I should ask you, it's 6AM why the hell were you outside? Are you secretly a prostitute?"

She laughed. "You're funny, I'm not but if you pay me I can be for you."

"You want me to pay for your services? You weren't even that good."

She chuckled. "I can still clearly remember you moaning in my ear, begging me for more miss Young, so are you sure about that?"

I could feel my face turn red. "You got me there."

She grinned and walked up to me. She wrapped her hands around my waist and pulled me in closer to her.

"Hmm, I figured."

I looked up at her. "Where were you?"

"Nothing to worry about, I was just clearing my head."

I didn't believe her. Something inside of me told me she was lying, but why would she lie? I brushed it off, I had no reason to doubt her. It was probably my own insecurities acting up.

I smiled. "Okay, how was it?"

"It was kind of chilly, but nice. How did you sleep baby?"

"I like it when you call me that." I said.

"What? baby?" She asked with sparkly eyes that gave away she knew exactly what I was talking about.

"Hmm, say that again."

She moved her hands to my face, with her thumb softly rubbing my cheek.

"My baby." She said slowly moving her lips to my ear, giving me tiny kisses all the way to my lips. Her lips met mine again and I couldn't help but instantly wanting to rip off all her clothes. I wanted nothing more than to feel her body on mine, having every part of her to myself. I eagerly kissed her back, pulling her in so close there was no room left for air.

Breathing got heavier and I parted my lips slightly, wanting to taste as much of her as I could. I felt her smile before she slid in her tongue, reaching for mine.

Kissing her felt like waking up on a sunny day, warm rays of sunshine softly hitting your face as you wake up. Like stepping into a freshly made bed after you just shaved your legs. It felt like watching a movie or reading that book you love so much for the first time. It was like seeing the whole sky turn pink when the sun sets, or when it was finally the last day of school before summer starts. It was fun, refreshing, exciting. It was safe and beautiful. New and never the same.

She softly pushed me on the couch, still never breaking our kiss. She was sat on top of me, her hands now moving from my face to my chest.

I arched my back a little when her fingers rubbed my nipple. She put her hands under my shirt and continued to play with my nipples. Her lips moving to my neck, slowly sucking the sensitive skin. I put my hands under her back, pulling her in closer to me.

I could feel her breath tickle my neck when she pulled away. "We can't do this right now. I need to leave for school in 15 minutes." She groaned.

"God, I've never hated school more." I replied, letting my head fall back as Ava got off of me.

I held out my hand, waiting for her to pull me up from the couch.

She grabbed my hand and grinned. "We'll continue this."

I rolled my eyes. "You made me all horny."

Her eyebrow slightly shot up. She stepped around me, wrapping her hands around my waist. Her lips slightly brushed against my ears. "Is that so, hmm?"

"Yes ma'am." I replied.

Her hand slowly went down past my shorts. My whole body started to tingle from her touch. Her hand slid further down, now inside my panties. My body shivered from her touch, in the best way possible.

"I really did make your horny, huh." She said with a smirk on her face. She removed her hand from where it was and stepped away from me as she made her way to the bathroom. She put her finger in her mouth and turned her head so I could see her. "I can't wait to taste you even better tonight."

I groaned out of frustration. "You're the devil."

She winked. "You love it."

School dragged on pretty fast. I had no class from Ava today, which was sad because I loved staring at her but I had a good time catching up with my friends.

David, Sam and I were sat smoking outside, enjoying the nice weather during our lunch break.

"You need to tell us more about our sexy teacher, Rachel." Sam said.

"Hands off lady, she's mine."

"There goes my chance to date you." Sam pouted.

I laughed. "I hate you, but everything with Ms Lopez is going great. I feel like I won the lottery. She's so good to me it's hard to believe this is real, you know? I feel like I don't deserve her."

"You do babe, you really do. You deserve someone who is good to you, unlike that waste of space James." David said.

I laughed, but the mention of James still did something to me. "You're right, I'll get there eventually."

"How did it go yesterday at the police office?" David asked.

"God it was horrible. They didn't take me seriously at all. I've never felt so embarrassed in my life."

"What?" Sam yelled. "They did what now?"

"Shhh, Sammie. It's okay."

"No, it's fucking not. This is serious, they should take you seriously." Sam said, visibly getting angry.

I looked down at my hand. I wasn't sure what to say. She was right, they should've taken me seriously, but there was nothing I could do to change that. I was powerless in this situation.

"Hey, it's okay Rachel." David put his hand around my shoulder, trying to comfort me.

I smiled. "I'm fine guys. It's okay. I've got you guys and Ava."

Sam grinned. "Talking about hot teacher, look who's standing there." She pointed at the fence that was build around the school. On the other side of the fence, so outside of the school ground was Ava. She was obviously talking to someone but I couldn't quite tell who it was.

"What is she doing there?" I asked.

"How are we supposed to know, that's your girl." David and Sam both said.

I laughed at how they both said the same thing at the same time.

"Well, I'm not sure either. It's probably just a student." I said.

I watched as she stood there talking for a while. I couldn't help but be curious as to what she was doing there.

"Earth to Rachel." David ordered. "Stop staring you look like a creep."

I chuckled. "You're right." I turned my attention back to Sam and David.

Not much later Sam nudged me with her elbow. "She's coming back."

I looked at how Ava walked to the entrance of the school. She had her phone in one hand and a cigarette in the other. As always she looked breathtakingly beautiful.

"Mind if I steal her from you?" Sam jokingly asked.

"You can join us." I laughed.

"Oh I wouldn't mind. Is she a little kinky?"

I bursted out laughing. "Why are you like this. I'm not sure yet but she is definitely no prude." I winked.

"Oh my God I am so jealous right now."

My laugh must have gotten Ava's attention because suddenly our eyes met. I followed her with my eyes as she slowly walked away, both still not breaking eye contact.

After what felt like minutes but was only a few seconds Ava turned her attention back to her phone.

"Is it getting hot in here or is it just me." David laughed.

"Oh shut up you." I grinned.

My phone buzzed. I looked to see who it was.

A: You look exceptionally beautiful today.

I couldn't help but blush.

R: Just for you

"What are you so mysteriously texting about." Sam asked.

"Nothing." I stuck my tongue out. "Let's go, class starts in 5 minutes."

We walked into english class and immediately sat down at the back of the class at our usual spots.

"Just on time guys, I was just about to start." The teacher said.

"Today we're gonna discuss the material for your final exams. The end is near, but I have faith that all of you will pass and I hopefully will never have to see your faces again."

The class laughed.

"No I'm joking ofcourse, but I'm sure everyone is going to make it."

The teacher rambled on for a few minutes but I lost her halfway through. My attention span was so short I could never focus on what the teacher had to say.

My attention drifted to my phone. I scrolled a little through my instagram when I saw I had a message request. I opened it to see who it was. I didn't follow the account but I recognized the name Max. It was one of James's friends. Not sure what to expect I read the message.

Hey R. I'm not sure what's going on between you and James but I figured you might want to know that he is in the hospital. We're not sure what happened yet but it's not looking too good. Jordan and I are planning to go see him tomorrow. Let me know if you want to come. Max.

It felt like my heart stopped for a second. I didn't know how to react, or how to feel. James was in the hospital? A million thoughts stormed my mind. I shouldn't be happy about this but I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.

I nodded my head thinking about everything he put me through. I'm allowed to feel relieved.

Not wanting to disrupt the class I texted Sam and David in our group chat with the message Max had sent me.

They both looked at me with a shocked look on their faces. They turned to their phones and started typing.

D: Damn? How do you feel, that's fucked, but I don't feel the slightest bit of remorse.

S: I'm sorry but that's what you get James

I shrugged. Karma works in mysterious ways.
