CHAPTER13
IVY
We walkedhand in hand into the end of term graduation party, our faces lighting up with glee as we felt the warmth of our love coursing through us. I turned to look at our parents in light chatter, amongst themselves before we dropped our hands. We didn’t want to tell them about us just yet, everything was still so new, and I didn’t want my family, or Fallon’s to jeopardise what we have.
The noise from the PA system was suddenly drowned out by lips smacking and soft moans. My moans. I froze, my skin covering in an icy blanket of sweat as my eyes lifted to the huge screens that were once filled with all the students of West Cove Coast, which were now plastered with a video of me and Fallon getting hot and heavy at the party. My eyes widened as it flickered to the church where Fallon first tasted me, then to the coves… all our private moments were being broadcasted for everyone to see. Regina gasped next to me, Jude and Tristan were talking lowly amongst themselves.
I snapped my head to face my queen, her beautiful eyes were brimmed with unshed tears, her lips parted as she stood frozen to the spot just watching in horror.
I was pulled back to the large screens when a crackling noise filled the silent room, the screens fuzzy. My heart was hammering in my chest, my breath ragged as I felt the rage consume me. Just as I was about to rush for the screens, more moaning filled the room… but this time it wasn’t me and Fallon.
No.
It was her mum and my dad.
Fucking.
My jaw fell lax, a gasp coming from Fallon as the video continued playing.
The fuck was happening…
I turned to face Fallon, her scorned face etched with anger and sadness. It made my gut ache and my heart hurt.
“How could you?” she whispered. Her whole body trembling, her hands shaking as she turned towards me.
“What?” I snapped at her, realisation of what she just said hitting me.
“Was this to get me back because I was a bitch to you? Was this all a game to you? Ivy, I fucking love you. Why would you destroy my family like that!?” Fallon cries as she looks at the tape over and over again that was being presented in front of us.
“I don’t give a shit about how you were before! I love you more than you would know. I’m on your side Fallon. I have always been on your side,” I shouted. “I didn’t leak the fucking footage!” Rage consumed me, “And it’s not just your family Fallon, my family has been destroyed too.”
It was the truth. Our families had been destroyed and I was even more adamant that this was a smear campaign against Fallon’s mother.
If it wasn’t, then we had a bigger enemy than we first thought.
Because they’ve not only exposed me and her, but they’ve also exposed our parents too.
The familiar pings and chimes I have become far too familiar with over the last few months caused everybody to pull their eyes from the screen and to their phones.
Happy Graduation West Covers,
I thought it was best to go out with a bang,
You can’t hide Fallon; your dirty little secret is out and so is your mother’s.
