Chay

When I woke and saw where I was and who was with me, I got up without waking Kim. I left without looking back and went to my room. Did my mom think that would work? No, it didn't. I don't want to be here.

Kim

I was lying by Chay with my eyes shut, listening to him. He got up and left the room when he saw that he was with me. So what happened last night made no difference to him, but for me, he is it. No other will do. I got to help him feel the same. What I mean by that is I will be so nice to him and loving he won't be able not to love me back.

Porsche

Chay came down to eat breakfast by himself.

"No, Kim?"

"No."

"Oh?"

"The act didn't work, Porsche, and you can tell Mother that too."

"How?"

"If it weren't an act, you wouldn't let Kinn take you away like that. You don't hate me that much."

"Chay."

"Good morning."

Kim and Kinn both came in at the same time and sat down.

"I'm done."

"Chay, wait."

"Porsche, just stop."

Chay got up and left the table. Kim looked at me.

"Was last night an act? Did Chay do that to me so I would stop everything?"

"Chay can do many things, so yes, he did."

"Why did he stay with me last night?"

"Because he knew mom would have someone watching him."

Kim got up and looked at Kinn.

"I'm Done."

Kinn was looking at Kim leaving.

"Kim, wait."

He just kept going.

Kim

I went out to sit on the patio. I had my guitar with me. So I was playing it. Looking up, I saw Chay hiding behind a pillar, watching me. I did not let him know I saw him because I didn't want Chay to run off. I started to play, and by the time I was done, Chay was too. I watched him walk away again without looking back. Why? Why won't you look back? What does it mean if you look back?

Chay

I was walking around outside, thinking of everything that happened last night. It felt nice in Kim's arms. Last night, I just wanted someone to hold me and protect me from my crazy family. I'm so tired of the manipulation from my family, my mate, and his family. As I was walking back to the house, I heard some music, so I went to look for it. When I saw it was Kim, I hid behind a pillar and watched him. He played really well. He started playing Why Don't You Stay by Wik. He was looking my way but not at me. It felt like he knew I was there but didn't want to scare me off. When Kim was done, he looked sad. I'm done with all the manipulation. I turned and walked away without looking back.

"I won't take it anymore."
