“You can't do it, Rebecca, Denzel is going to kill him.” Megan warned. “Joe told me that you have suffered a lot to be together.”

"I know," I admitted. “But if I don't do this, he will hurt Denzel.”

Conan Gray's Maniac was playing at the venue. The girls wore bright dresses and the men their light blue and black suits. This dance had been very good for us. I looked around for my friends and my boyfriend, only to find Reed Derricks walking towards me with a red corsage.

"I hope you're very pleased," I grunted as he forcefully placed the corsage on me. Reed pushed me with it and squeezed my wrist.

“Do you think you can distract my cousin, Rebecca?” I laughed “I have called him.” I pushed him a little and spotted my boyfriend walking in with Anne and Joe. 

His eyebrows were furrowed.
“What the hell did you do?” I felt my blood boil.

 How was I going to be able to do something like that to Denzel?

Reed had become my worst torment.

“Let's Dance.” He dragged me onto the dance floor.

"You don't have to hurt those who love you, Reed," I whispered lightly as tears slipped down my face.

“What if I should let them hurt me, Rebecca?” I looked around for my boyfriend, but luckily Anne and Joe were distracting him enough that he didn't realize what was happening in front of his eyes. This was a bloody nightmare.

"That's not what I mean," I continued. 

His hands were squeezing mine tightly, I felt like he was forcing me to move hard. This was horrible.

“I came to this town to get my old life back, Rebecca.” object “My father first. I don't know what the fuck he was doing with your mom, but I made him finish it.”

"My mother is devastated," I asked.

“This was what you wanted. You wanted his thing to end, and don't tell me you didn't, Rebecca, I heard you talking to Denzel about it.”

"Enough," I tightened my throat. “Just do it.”

“No, it won't be that easy.” he argued, turning me around and slamming me against his hard chest.

“Do what you have to do in a goddamn way, Reed, I won't do what you want me to do.”

“Don't play hard to get, Rebecca; because I know you spread my cousin's legs without being anything.” One of his hands tightened around my waist. “I not only want this kiss, I want you to open my legs whenever I want.”

"I'll never love you." He turned me around sharply and placed a hand under my hair, squeezing hard. “Let go of me, Reed.” I gritted my teeth.

"No, Rebecca." His green eyes darkened; maybe it was because her pupils were dilated.

“Are you high?” I raised my eyebrows in horror.

"And what do you care if I am?” He released me and looked away a bit.

"Is this what you want, Reed? Do you want me to kiss you pretending that I like you? And you pretend you're not high and this is real? I don't love you and I will never love you, you will never have me.”

“If I don't have you, no one else can have you, Rebecca.” I felt a pang in my chest that was oppressing me.

This guy is crazy, he didn't even know me until days ago.

"You're insane," I whispered angrily. “If I do this, promise you won't hurt my boyfriend.”

“I'm your boyfriend, Rebecca.” I looked up, Denzel was gone.

Where the hell was he? If he saw this...

“You won't achieve much, I'll tell Denzel what you plan and he'll never forgive you. If you want that, Reed…”

"You are everything I want, Rebecca." His disgusting hands took my face, and as if he had it ready, the spotlights fell on us, and that's where he kissed me and everything fell apart.

The kiss was so bitter that I screwed up my face, opened my eyes and pushed him hard. But it was too late, because Denzel was standing there.
