“You never call, what's wrong.”
His pause has my shackles on full alert, “some new girl transferred from the disgusting Apple.”
“So.” My confusion is evident in my answer. I've always been an open book. Ive never perfected an ounce of the serious blank face some people do. It's my nature to be filter less.
“What's up with you and Orniel.”
The pit in my stomach sinks ten miles an hour when asked that question. Two days ago that answer would've been simple. After last night, I don't know. In my drunken stupor I did something irreversible. I slept with Reagan Orniel.
The correct thing to say is, I had drunk sex for the first time with him. In other words, I was a virgin until last night.
I don't regret it, some people would say that I was just another girl that Reagan conquered. One of many, but I would say that our drunken sex was more than that. I had practically drooled and wiped my snot on his t-shirt for the past two years every time some asshole decided to dump the blonde. The reason for that was, while I would do almost anything with a boy, I never went all the way, which was why I practically had dated half of Liston Highs Private population and if I was honest with myself, a good section of Liston Public too.
I was what majority would call the slut of Liston High Private and I wore it with pride. Being head cheerleader, the football team relied on me to keep the bitches under control. And by doing that I had to have the reputation to match. So what if they chose to believe that I fucked anything with three legs, as long as it got them putty in my hands who the hell cared..
I was Dainy Hallow after all. The girls in school either feared me or wanted to be me. Unlike the rest of them including my brother, I didn't need the fancy surname, I held all the important titles, head cheerleader, A grade student, and your worst nightmare if you ever dared to cross me. I was also best friend to Victoria Stone and Sienna Bray and while they may not attend Liston Private this year because Victoria aka Rae was forced to join her brother in public and where she goes Sienna follows, they are still part of the Elite in our Suburb, Liston Hills and the sisters of Kylie Bray.
Kylie ruled the school from the first day she stepped foot on Liston High Private. Even the male population cowered under her gaze, people lowered their heads. Her best friend Dakota, who was rumored to be a science genius and princess of the Sin Riders Motorcycle Club made sure that they never forgot who was in charge. I was fortunate to see her good side. The one she kept reserved for her close friends and family.
"I'm not sure what's going on between Reagan and me, but If he's already on the prowl that should answer your question."
The muttered "fuck" behind me doesn't improve my mood when I get off the phone. Standing up I turn to face my brother who's unceremoniously rubbing his hair with a small towel while attempting to button his jeans with his free hand.
"You got any of that hair wax you got from Milan, mines finished."
Shrugging, I smirk knowing how this is gonna play out, "You gonna loan me your jeep this weekend?"
“Hell to the fuck no.”
“Suit yourself.” I make my way through the entrance hall, feigning disinterest. I'm not surprised when my brother follows me, “I lent you my jeep one time and we both know how that played out, choose something else.”
Pausing mid stride I shrug, “Maybe it's time you got that hair cut Mommas always nagging about.”
“Maybe you should stop being a brat and give me the damn wax.”
Spinning around I stare at my six foot tall brother’s freshly shaven square jaw. His green gaze daring me to continue, but I won't. We both know I'm going to give him the damn wax, I don't even use it, but I want something first. “I need to see Rae, and Jace is going to be there.”
Laughing he rubs his toned abs with the wet towel, “You mean you want me to distract Jace while you sneak into Victoria’s room.”
Shrugging, I stare behind him at the double French door, “That too.”
“Fine, now can you give me the damn wax.” When I don't move to get it, he grinds out, “please.”
My smile is instant, dimples and all, “Gladly, there's a whole box of it in the pantry.”
His wet towel hits me in the face before he storms pass me, “Why the fuck didn't you just tell me that the first time.”
Smiling to myself, I throw the towel on the marble table behind me. My big brother never does anything without getting something out of it, not even for me. While I tend to bargain with smaller things or favors, most people don't have such luck.
My achievement is still evident on my face as I open the door. And just like that my reality is staring me smack in the face, I squeak, “Reagan.”

IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND the reason why I made the choices I have. How I became the person I am today, you would have to understand why. So I need to start from the very beginning. But before I do, I need you to understand that this is not a sappy happy romance. This is my life, this is the story of where happy endings come from. This is the path I led. So while many people would always start and end with their true love, I would start with my first. Because isn't a first love the most life altering one.
Prologue
My legs were numb, I couldn't feel the fresh blood seeping through my jeans. I tried to push myself up, but it's no use, my legs were both fucked. One bullet lodged into my right thigh, the other my left calf. I should’ve screamed, I should've cursed. I should've done lots of things differently.
“I warned you to stay away, I told you what would happen.” He snarled, spitting on the ground, “You rich kids are too fucking spoilt, thinking you can have it all.”
I groaned, my body aching, I could feel the blood, hot and pulsing through my thigh.
I didn't swear him, I didn't curse. I wasn't stupid, I knew he'd finish me, I knew my limit. My only hope was that the cops would find me. They knew where I was, I managed to call them before the first bullet echoed through the air.
My hair matted to my forehead from the sweat drenching my skin. But I didn't move my hand, I didn't dare to move it from my shoulder. I had to keep the pressure on the wound or I was going to die.
The sound of a helicopter approached, lights flickering over head. It was so bright, that if I didn't believe in God already I was going to now. It wasn't long after I heard my assaulter’s shoes rushing off that I heard the car speed by.
Relief flooded me as I allowed the pain to rush through me tenfold and Finally broke screaming.
Life was unfair, it was fucked up. I cursed as the pain took over me, I welcomed it. Our parents never told us that the monsters were real, they never warned us that there is no happy ending. Only death and heartache. I thought love could conquer all, I thought I could overcome any hurdle to be with the one man that I love. The man that stole my body and possessed my heart. But life had a different plan for me. It was evident as I laid down on the ground of an empty dock with three bullets stuck in me bleeding to death. There was no familiar person here to console me, no saviour to protect me. It was just me.
I thought I had all the answers. I thought I was strong enough to walk unscathed on the path of darkness. The only person I was, the only one I ended up being, was a foolish twenty year old who thought she could play with the big boys and got fucked up her ass in the process.
He told me to walk
away, he warned me that it wouldn't end well. I knew he was a bad person. I just didn't know how bad he really was until I was already too deep, lost to the maze of obsession. I couldn't find my way out, no matter how hard, or fast I tried because by then I had sealed my fate. By then he had claimed me, tainted me, marked me as his knowing that he would never be mine. He was a made man, and I was his muse.
