Published: March 7, 2014
I start
hating Oliver just after his older brother Christian’s death. I drag him down a
road of humiliation and pain to try to cope with what his brother did to me.
A few
months after Christian’s passing, Oliver leaves town, and for the next two
years, he is absent from my life. The demons claw their way back in, and I must
learn to live with the secret that has destroyed me.
Now I’m
starting a new life, away from Gargle and away from my past, but everything
crashes when I see Oliver the first day at university. It’s clear that many
things have changed since we’ve been apart. Now he is captain of the rugby team
and the most popular bloke on campus.
Then he
makes a bet and gives me an ultimatum: I leave Braxton forever and start
somewhere else, or I stay and play his game… because he’s never forgotten that
it was me who ruined his life two years ago.

Excerpt:
For several long moments, no one makes a move. His eyes
harden on me. Only two steps divide us, and I consider screaming. The
adrenaline starts pumping through my body, but I stand there immobile,
wondering what he will do or say.
A small smile creeps across his mouth as he locks the
door of the bathroom.
This is not good, not good at all.
My mind shouts at me to start running, but I can’t move.
He’s changed so much since the last time I saw him. His lean, ripped body looks
thrilling, and I begin to wonder if he always aimed to look like his brother.
Strong, handsome, and not afraid of anyone, even me. His pupils dilate and he
inhales quickly, taking a step forward.
“Get out,” I say before he gets too close to me. My voice
sounds weak, but Oliver doesn’t even acknowledge my order. He moves even
closer. Soon I’m pinned to the basin, breathing like an asthmatic. His hands
are on both sides and I’m at his mercy. His eyes are penetrating me, showing me
that he is in charge like I once had been.
My heart leaps in my throat, but I don’t dare to move.
I’m afraid to touch him, to make a connection with his body. Christian was a
monster, and Oliver is a man who desires his payback. He wants to break me,
though, not caring that we were friends once before.
“Indi, you’re going to listen to me very carefully
because I won’t be repeating myself. It’s only this once, right now, that we
are going to talk,” he says, almost whispering as he leans close to my
face.
I want to move away, scream, shout or do anything to get
away from him, but my body doesn’t want to react. I’m holding my breath,
feeling the heat embrace every small part of me. I can’t give him any response.
I’m not the person that I used to be. Here I’m weak, lost, and confused.
“You’re will go back to wherever the fuck you’ve come
from. You’re going to pack. Then you will call your mother and tell her that
you changed your mind about studying in Braxton. Then you will take the next
bus to Gargle and stay there until you figure out what to do with your
life.”
