I drove back home on cloud nine, I was fucking floating.

"You seem to be in a good mood today." My dad grinned as I walked into the kitchen, and I smiled as I went to go hug him.

"Hi, Papa!" I said as I wrapped my arms around him, I was glad they were finally back- so much had happened since they left. "How was the trip? Is mom back yet?" I asked and he nodded.

"It was good, I made a lot of progress, but your mom was really the star of the trip, her dance workshop was so good they asked about her signing a contract with them." He smiled excitedly, he was always really proud of my mom, no matter what she did.

"So, you already told her my news?" My mom asked as she walked into the kitchen, freshly out of the shower with a smile on her face.

"Hey, mama." I sighed as she hugged me and gently kissed my forehead.

"Hola baby, how have you been? I missed you." She sighed into my hair, and I squeezed her tighter before I let go.

"I missed you too." I grinned. "There's actually something I need to tell you guys."

"Is this something we need to sit for?" My dad asked a little worried and I rolled my eyes playfully.

"Or do I need to make some tea?" My mom asked and I shook my head.

"No, no, it's not that serious- I just wanted to let you guys know that I've got a girlfriend," I admitted and held my breath for their responses.

"A girlfriend? We were only gone for a few days Cristina." My dad frowned while my mom smiled widely.

"Is it that Haydn girl?" My mom asked suggestively, and I blushed, giving it away immediately. "I like her."

"You can't get pregnant now, right?" My dad asked, completely oblivious to me and my mom. "That's the best news I've heard since you told us you dumped Wesley." He grinned before he hugged me again, squeezing me tightly.

"So, when do we get to meet her?" My mom asked and I immediately shook my head.

"Not for a while, we're taking things slow," I explained, slightly embarrassed.

"Okay my baby, but the same rules apply- she hurts you and I hurt her." My dad warned me, keeping me at arm's length but luckily my mom came to my rescue.

"I think she's got it love." My mom said pulling me away.

"I've got to get started on some homework, so I'm gonna go up to my room." I smiled before walking to the steps.

"Okay Cristina, we're gonna order pizza for dinner a little later, any requests?" My mom asked and I shook my head.

"No thanks, just call me when it's here." I smiled before I jogged up the stairs to my room, feeling a lot better.

As soon as I closed my bedroom door behind, I dropped my bag to the floor and threw myself onto my bed feeling exhausted but before I could take a nap, I knew I should tell Haydn I got home okay- and that I told my parents about us. With a groan I stretched over and grabbed my phone from my bag and bypassed my notifications to scroll to her name, clicking call.

"Hey, baby." She answered and I felt my insides melt.

"Heyyy." I smiled, blushing like an idiot even though she couldn't see me. "I just wanted to let you know I'm home, my parents just got back."

"Good, I'm happy your parents are home but it's kinda a bummer considering I was planning on sneaking into your room tonight to finish what we started." She said lowly and I felt my body grow hot.

"So that's what's been on your mind, huh?" I asked and I could imagine her smirking into the phone.

"Only since the first time I saw you." She stated and I grinned like an idiot.

"I'm looking forward to it." I flirted.

"Me too." She said softly, the tension growing thicker.

"Well, um, I've got some homework to finish but do you promise to be at school tomorrow?" I asked, biting my lip in hesitation.

"Yes baby, I promise. I'll see you tomorrow." She laughed and I immediately felt at ease.

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow- goodnight, babe."

"Goodnight, dream of me."

"Of course." I smiled before she ended the call and for a few seconds, all I could do was stare at my phone as it dawned on me.

Haydn made me really, really happy- even having a simple conversation with her made me feel like I was on top of the world. I was lucky to have her, she was everything I've ever wanted, and she treated me better than anyone ever had.

I pushed my thoughts to the side as I focused on finishing my homework because as happy as I was that everything with Haydn worked out, it was still a very emotional and draining day on my end. I slipped in my earphones and allowed Kehlani to fill my head as I finished an essay, our math homework and a piece for art. It wasn't until I had showered and was lying in bed, scrolling on Twitter, that I realized that something didn't feel right- and that's when I heard a stone being thrown at my window.

At first, I thought it was just my imagination but when I heard it again, I decided to leave my warm bed and look outside. Half of me had hoped I was hearing things but the other half of me hoped it was Haydn trying to confess her love for me...but it was neither and my heart fell as soon as I saw the familiar face.

It was Wesley. Ew.

"Cris!" He called up loudly and worried he might wake up my parents I opened my window.

"Wesley?! What the fuck are you doing here?! How did you even get in?!" I whisper-yelled down to him but he seemed to ignore my questions completely and I realized he most probably jumped the gate.

"I've decided to take you back, now that you've calmed down." He slurred slightly as he swayed on his feet, and I groaned quietly- he was fucking drunk.

"Go home Wesley," I called down, trying desperately to keep my anger under control and not disturb my parents but it was like he didn't hear a word I said.

"You were a real bitch disrespecting me at the restaurant in front of all those people but now that I ended it with Danika, I've decided to end your suffering." He smirked, looking up at me with glazed eyes and flushed cheeks and I groaned as I gently massaged my temples. This man got bored of his latest fling and thought he could come back to ruin my life- fuck no.

"Wait there, don't fucking move!" I spat before I moved away from my window and headed out my door and down the stairs, making sure to make as little noise as possible before I slipped out the back door and jogged around the house. I ignored the cool nip in the air against my arms and the cold glass under my slides as I hurried to get to Wesley. I had to get him to leave as soon as possible without killing him because at the volume he was talking it would either be me or my father taking his life.

"Fucking took you long enough." He scoffed in an annoyed manner as I came into sight, and I felt my blood begin to boil.

"Wesley what the fuck are you doing here?! I don't want you here." I seethed, crossing my arms over my chest so I wouldn't beat the shit out of him, but he just rolled his eyes as he stumbled forward.

"I'm doing you a favor, taking you back, but not if you're going to be such a fucking bitch." He slurred as he tried to move closer to me, but I just moved back- I didn't want the pig anywhere near me.

"Wesley, I don't want you here and I definitely don't want you back." I whisper-yelled, glancing up at my parents' window to make sure they were still asleep.

"Of course, you want me back, I see how lonely you are, walking around by yourself." He grinned, stepping towards me and I took a step back.

"You need to leave right now before I call the police." I threatened, trying to keep my rising anxiety at bay with him so close.

"Don't try fucking with me Cris, you don't have to play hard to get- I can see your nipples through your shirt, I can see how much you want me." He grinned in a way that made me feel extremely unsafe and I knew I had to focus on making him leave my property.

"Are you fucking insane?!" I spat, hitting away his hand that tried to reach for me. "It's fucking freezing out here and that is the only thing my body is reacting to, I don't want your grubby hands anywhere near me."

"Come on Cris-" He started but I had already reached boiling point.

"For fuck sakes Wesley, I dumped you- I was done with you then and I'm done with you now!" I snapped, still making sure to keep my voice at a lower volume. "Besides, I've already found someone who is so much better than you will ever be, so leave before I call the cops!" I warned through clenched teeth, but it was only when the words left my lips did, I realize how badly I fucked up.

One thing about a sober Wesley is that he could be very angry at times but one thing about a drunk Wesley is that he could be fucking insane and as soon as my words registered in his intoxicated brain, I saw something in his eyes snap. Within seconds he had his large hands wrapped around my small biceps before he threw me against the wall, his hot breath fanning my face as he squeezed my arms.

"YOU FUCKING BITCH! DO YOU THINK YOU COULD JUST REPLACE ME?!" He yelled at me, unfortunately not loud enough to wake up my parents. "I FUCKING OWN YOU CRISTINA! DO YOU HEAR ME?!" He seethed as he slammed me, and I tried desperately not to let the utter fear and panic show in my face. "No one is going to want to touch a slut like you, not after I show everyone the video of you taking it like the fucking whore you are." He said darkly and I felt my body go numb as I made sense of his words.

"What are you talking about?" I whispered, a little breathless from having the wind knocked out of me.

"WESLEY?! COME ON, I'M TIRED OF LOOKING FOR YOU!" I heard a deep voice call from the street, and I saw him smirk.

"You heard what I said Cristina, I own you...and a video of you taking it from behind, just begging to be fucked by me." He grinned and I felt my body turn ice cold. "I bet your little boyfriend will toss you to the side like the piece of shit you are." He spat evilly as he pushed me back into the wall and as soon as he let me go, I felt my legs buckle.

"WESLEY?! WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?!" A different male voice called out from the street and I wanted to tell them that he was here, but my voice was stuck in my throat.

"I suggest you don't tell anyone I was here or else I will make sure everyone sees you for the slut you are." He said as he spat on the ground next to me and before I could say anything, he turned on his heel and bolted to our gate, his athletic build quickly climbing over my gate with ease.

It took me ten minutes to stop shaking after he left and another ten to gather the strength to get up and walk to my room. As soon as I stumbled through my door, I took a shower and curled up in a ball in the middle of my bed. I couldn't stop the sobs that wracked my body as I wrapped my aching arms around myself, I felt so helpless. I was so fucking stupid to go down there and face him by myself, I should've called my dad or the police but no, I decided to be the hero of my own story and look how that ended up.

I hated Wesley, I genuinely hated him. I thought he was so nice and sweet in the beginning of our relationship but now he was the actual devil.

The devil who was blackmailing me with a video he took of me while we were having sex, without my permission. The devil who could ruin the best relationship I've ever had with the girl I was quickly falling for.
