Chapter 127
Harper
"Oh my God, I cannot wait until finals are over,”
Sadie says to me as we make our way down the hall at school. "Same,’ I agree, completely distracted as I look for Easton.
He texted me only a few minutes ago saying he didn't wake up with his alarm and now he's running late.
I know that's because we were studying last night at the library, trying to prepare for our history final.
It was the only place I could get my parents to let me go.
They believed I was studying with Sadie, which at first, I was. Sadie and Ryan were there with us, but they eventually took off. Leaving Easton and I alone. We tried to study, we really did.
But we ended up getting distracted. Too much smiling at each other. Hands bumping, fingers tangling.Kissing.
Lots and lots of kissing... ".and on top of everything else I've got going on, my cramps are freaking awful today. Like, the worst. I'm gonna need to mainline some Midol to make it through,’ Sadie says, just before she starts to laugh.
"I mentioned to Ryan how orgasms help ease cramps but he says he doesn't want to bathe his dick in the Red Sea.”
“Oh my God, TMI, my friend,”
I practically groan, shoving her shoulder. The last thing I want to hear about is my brother having sex with my best friend when she's on her— Yeah. Can't even finish the thought. Sadie's laughter grows as she nearly goes toppling over. "Sorry. Couldn't resist."
Her gaze snags on the girls’ bathroom door up ahead. "Speaking of cramps, let's make a stop in the bathroom real quick before class starts."
“Okay.”
“Have you started yet?"
Sadie asks me. "You usually do before me.”
"No.... haven't.”
I frown as I follow her into the bathroom, mentally calculating the last time I had my period. Last month like usual. I open my phone—got that back from my mom yesterday thank God—and check my period app to see that I should most definitely be on it right now. So why am I not?
“What the hell—”
I run right into the back of Sadie, who's come to a complete stop in the middle of the bathroom. “What's wrong?"
I ask, completely distracted as I stare at my phone screen. A text comes through from my boyfriend.
Easton: Hey just got here. Where are you?
Me: In the bathroom. Will come see you in a sec. “Look at the mirror, Harper. Just—holy shit! I'm gonna go off and kill a blonde bitch right now, I swear to God! You know Aisha is behind this."
Sadie points at the mirror above the sinks and I glance up, staring at it, not comprehending at first. Until the letters come into focus and I read the words spray painted big and bold across the glass. Harper loves to suck big dick! “Oooh, I need to document this."
Sadie's phone is out and she's taking endless photos from every angle possible while I just stand there, too shocked to move. "We need to report this Harp. Now.”
A toilet flushes and both our heads whip in the direction of the closed stall door. I thought we were alone in here. Sadie sends me a look, her eyes wide. I can only shrug in return. Whos in here with us?
The stall door suddenly smacks open and out walks... Julia.
With a giant smirk on her face. We're silent as she walks to the sink and turns on the water, dumping a bunch of soap in her hands before she starts washing them vigorously.
Her gaze meets ours in the mirror, right below the spray painted message.

The readers' comments on the novel: You’re Mine by Penny Brooks
Where’s chapter 138?...
Thank you for this book. I connected very much with Harper, although my happily ever after was years after high school and not someone I went to school with. I cried for Harpers pain, and the bullying she went through. (I went through that too) I cried for just how much Easton loved and tried to protect Harper..... heck I even wanted to jump into the pages to knock out Blake and Aisha.... (sad thing those people really do exist). I felt pride for Harper when she stood up for herself against Aisha. This book made me feel so many feelings. Thank you, and I'm so glad the happily ever after I was praying for from the start happened to that sweet, quiet, awkward, girl. Just thank you....
