Chapter 1-- Star

I couldn't stay away even though I hated both of them. I might even say I hated all of them. All the men I thought I loved.

Jeremy was first. Even though he was in worse shape then Grant when he  was taken to the hospital, it was obvious he would be out, walking around, and behaving like a thug in no time.

I caught myself just as I got to his door. That little goody two shoes Alex, his loyal girlfriend, and Miss Everything over at the high school, was there. She was standing with her back turned to the door in his room.  She was bending over him and lending comfort.

I had a lot of work to do on my issues. At that moment, I was so jealous I felt like I wanted to go directly in there and start a fight with her.

Even with all the crap my affair with Jeremy brought into my life, I still wanted him. I wanted it to be us. That desire still burned hot inside me.

For ten seconds that seemed like an hour, I fought my passionate lust. I remained outside the room and out of trouble.

I just stood and I stared.

At any moment, Alex could have either turned around or moved aside revealing my creeping presence to Jeremy. She didn't.

Explaining what an adult teacher was doing visiting a young former male student she barely had in one of her classes would have been very uncomfortable.

Luckily it was end of  the semester and I was getting extra time off. I spent the previous seventy-two hours not seeking help and not resting. Instead I fumed at Grant and to a lesser degree Jeremy.

I was so messed in the head that by day three I was blaming Grant for everything and actually had Jeremy placed firmly as the victim.  Even though it was Jeremy who had done the attacking.

Truth be told, that's why I was in that hospital. I wanted to make contact with Jeremy. Actually more than contact. I wore a pair of tear-away jeans I wore the early days when we'd hook up. I also left the panties at home and I wore my extra small pink tank top. I covered that with a loose-fitting black leather jacket.

I had it all planned in my mind. I was going to have a wild romp with the high schooler I was addicted to. And the danger of doing it in a hospital room with people coming in and out at any moment turned me on even more.

I somehow had stayed away from the drugs during my three days alone in my house. But my powerful longing for Jeremy's aggressive nasty loving was running hotter than ever.

I wasn't taking the scene at his hospital room well. Seeing little phony good girl Alex fawning over a Jeremy made me feel like second-class trash.  Like a cast-off. But that was reality.  I was someone for Jeremy would use for his pleasures and then discard.

I couldn't put a thought together beyond my need to get revenge. Against Grant first. Then Jeremy.

I backed away slowly from the entry door to his room trying to settle my breath. My body steadied against the wall across the hallway. My heartbeat uneven and my legs wobbly.

I hadn't eaten anything except a couple saltine crackers since the night Grant and I made love.  That was days ago.

I was so weak that I felt like I wanted to fall to the floor. But I couldn't. I knew I needed to get away from the area around Jeremy's room. I needed to get as far away from the hospital as possible.  Nothing good was going to come of me being there.

Damn you. You fucking bastard. You used me.

I thought I said it under my breath, too low to be heard.. But an old couple walked by and shook their head looking at me. The old lady put her finger to her mouth asking me to keep it down.

It was time to confront Grant, then I would ruin him with my sister Erika. I wanted him to be miserable. As for Erika, I didn't care if the truth made her miserable too.

With new determination, I turned and walked with energy I didn't know I had, briskly my way toward stop two.

Grant's room.

*

Grant was being treated on the same floor but way on the other side of the building. I thought it was really odd that they'd put a victim and his attacker on the same floor.

The scene in room 656B was decidedly different from what was happening back in Jeremy's room. There were large machines all around Grant with big hoses running to his face. The hoses fed into this big ugly mask covering it from the bridge of the nose to his chin.

He was alone and his eyes were closed. His color looked greenish white. He looked severely underweight.

I was too furious to care about his condition. I was determined to give him what was coming to him. Men weren't going to use me. Not any more.

 Even though he'd been so kind to me. Frankly kinder than any lover I'd ever had. He gave his nights to me for months so I could get clean. And never asked for anything in return.

He clearly cared.

But in my warped view point, all those good deeds meant he was the most worthy of my scorn and punishment.

Unlike how I approached things at Jeremy's room, I didn't hesitate.  

When I walked in, Grant's eyes popped open
