Hate Me (Black Mountain Academy)

by Ashley Jade

“Because I knew you’d be in pain.” A cold sweat breaks over me and a weird twist goes through my chest when his tongue darts out and he licks my tear-stained cheek. “And I wanted to see it.”

I wanted a battle…but he gave me a war.

But then she’d know the truth. That as much as I loathe her with every fucking fiber of my being… I’m also completely fucking drawn to her. And I know deep down she feels the same. We’re like two magnets…the electrical currents running through us simultaneously repel and attract one another. I fucking hate it. Hate her.

“Just because their perception of you has shifted, doesn’t mean yours has to.”

“To answer your question from earlier, you don’t get to fuck with Aspen because she’s mine.”

“Why are you doing this to me?” That’s where she’s wrong. I’m not doing it to her… I’m doing it for her.

However, he fucked up. Because if you’re going to keep a wild animal in a trap and taunt it with its favorite toy... You better make damn sure they don’t end up loving that toy more than they fear you.

She’s the feeling in my chest I’ve never experienced before, but would kill to hold on to forever. She’s the home I never had.
