I swallowed a gulp down my throat as I looked up at him. "He's definitely an ass," I agreed, my voice tight.I had to know why Romeo kept showing up everywhere I went. I needed a break from his face.Romeo walked toward me, his hands shoved in his pockets, and his eyes fixed on mine. "You don't belong at these kinds of parties," He said bluntly.I refused to be intimidated by his intense gaze. I kept looking back at him, my chin raised. "This is not the first time you're telling me this," I told him."I'm going to keep saying it until you take a break from these parties you don't like," He rambled, his forest green eyes glinting in the light.I tucked a lock of hair behind my ear, breaking eye contact. "Just so you know, I'm enjoying this party," I lied, my cheeks heating up.Romeo scoffed. "You can tell yourself that if it helps you sleep at night. You are enjoying yourself, alone in the corner? And you kicked the guy who was trying to make tonight fun for you."I raised my gaze to me

"Are you not supposed to call your best friend and let her know where you're going?" Romeo suggested as we walked towards his car.I lifted one shoulder in a half shrug. "My best friend, who ignored me at a party?" I accused.Telling Joey that I was going out with Romeo seemed pointless, especially since she might not even have her phone with her. And, even if she did, she'd just yell at me for hanging out with my ex, and tell me to come back home."You came to the party alone. What did you expect?" He shot back, a laugh escaping his lips.I wrinkled my nose. "Whatever!" I snapped. We reached his car and got inside. I hated to admit it, but I had missed being in his car. It brought back so many memories of our old days.Romeo turned on the car radio and music started to play. He then turned the key in the ignition and the engine came to life.As we pulled away from the curb, the song "Too Many Nights" by Metro Boomin' started to play.I pulled my phone out of my bag, my first chance

I shot him a deadly glare. "Of all the questions you could ask, you chose this one," I blurted out.Romeo raised an eyebrow. "Just answer my question. We were playing a game, remember?" He reminded me. "Why do you even want to know if I have had sex with my boyfriend?" I demanded.Romeo opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out. Then he cleared his throat, and met my gaze through the rearview mirror. "You do know that I was only asking the question as part of the game, right?" He rambled. "And, I didn't ask the reason you asked me those three questions.""I didn't ask if you had sex with Samantha or any other girl though," I retorted. "Don't worry then," Romeo mumbled, avoiding my gaze. He reached for the door handle and stepped out of the car.A frown formed between my brows. Was he upset with me? I got out of the car and hurried to catch up with him."Are you angry?" I asked, after catching up with him. "No, of course not," He replied.I took a deep breath, tryi

I gave a half shrug. What was he up to? I heard what he said, but I acted like I had not heard what he said. It was probably for the best to pretend like I had not heard, since he didn't seem keen to repeat himself. I jumped down from the table and wandered over to the bed, pulling the blanket over my head. Romeo got up from the chair, and put the box back in the cupboard, then turned to face the closet. He pulled out a black t-shirt and threw it on, still silent."So, how many girls have you had on the bed?" I asked, breaking the quiet.Romeo turned to face me with his eyebrows lifted. It wasn't quite a glare, but there was definitely a hint of judgment in his gaze. I instantly regretted asking the question. I should have kept my mouth shut.I flopped down on the bed, resting my head on the headboard. "Don't give me that look," I grumbled, pouting my lips."Is that a question coming from someone who didn't appreciate it when I asked if she had sex with her boyfriend?" He shot back.

~ ROMEO ~I kept stealing glances at Ivy through the rearview mirror as I drove. Her eyes were closed, and her head was resting against the headrest. My knuckles were white from gripping the steering wheel so hard. I hoped I would not cause an accident with my mind so distracted. If I caused an accident, I would never forgive myself - especially given everything I've already put her through.The sound of her phone buzzing broke the silence and she reached for it, opening her eyes as she did so. Her smile confused me, and I wondered what she had seen on her phone to provoke such a reaction. She had not smiled once since I had started driving her home, but there was no denying the look of happiness on her face. I tried not to think about whether it was her boyfriend on the other end.I bit my lip, trying not to ask who she had been texting. I had already made a mess of things. I didn't want to further mess up by revealing my jealousy.I was trying so hard to keep my feelings in check.

~ IVY ~Monday mornings were always a source of stress, especially when my timetable had a back-to-back block of math classes - calculus followed by chemistry. This Monday was even worse, though, since our chemistry teacher was running late. A part of me was relieved, since it meant I could catch my breath after the marathon of mental math that calculus had been. Another part of me was frustrated - I had a lot to cover in chemistry, and I knew the teacher would make up for lost time by moving at a lightning pace. I took a deep breath, trying to ignore the noise filling the classroom. I wished the class would quiet down. It was not like everyone's favorite subject, so why were so many people so early? I guess some of them were here to kiss up to the teacher, since she was known for her strict grading. I put my hand to my forehead, a pounding headache shooting behind my eyes. I thought the aspirin I had taken that morning would do the trick, but it didn't seem to be enough. The headac

My tongue was tied, and I could not think of anything to say. I could not even defend myself, and I just kept my gaze down. I felt like such an idiot, and I hated myself for it.Samantha continued. "I think you should focus on your own boyfriend, Ivy. You know what? I might just tell your boyfriend how much of a slut you are," She snapped at me. I was too stunned to speak, and time seemed to stand still as I listened to the shuffling of chairs around me. The gasps of the students echoed in the cafeteria, and I glanced up. Joey had dumped the contents of her juice bottle all over Samantha's head."Don't you ever call my best friend a slut," Joey growled at Samantha, giving her a deadly glare. Samantha's mouth hung open in shock. "What the heck! What are you doing? What is wrong with you?" She rambled. "Shut up!" Joey barked. "Don't even try me. If you interrupt my lunch with my best friend again, I'll mess up that stupid face of yours and your cheap makeup."Samantha's lips trembled

I heard the question, but I pretended not to. The silence that followed was deafening. It felt like the world had stopped turning, and the only sound was my own heartbeat, pounding in my ears. I felt like I was in a different world. I was facing the question I had been avoiding asking myself. The question James had asked had my brain working overtime, even as I tried to avoid it. I could feel my brain trying to work out an answer."Ivy," James said, breaking the silence and pulling me out of my thoughts.I turned to look at him, avoiding his gaze. "What did you say?" I asked. I tucked a lock of hair behind my ear, my hand shaking slightly."I asked you if you are still in love with your ex," James repeated, his tone serious.My throat felt dry, and I swallowed hard. I knew that he was not going to let this go until I answered him. But I was not sure if I knew the answer, or if I even wanted to know the answer. Perhaps, a part of me knew the answer to his question, but I didn't want t

THREE WEEKS LATER ~ IVY ~I ran my fingers through my tangled hair and sighed as I looked around at my chaotic room. Clothes were scattered across the floor, along with several books that had tumbled from the shelves. The bed was unmade, and various items were scattered across the duvet. In short, my room looked like a hurricane had blown through it. If there was an award for the most disastrous room, I would have won it hands down.My boyfriend would have to take the blame for this mess. Even though I was the one who had left everything scattered around, I couldn't help but feel like it was his fault somehow. What on earth was he thinking, setting up a last – minute date like that, without giving me time to prepare? Don't get me wrong. I was thrilled about the date. I was just feeling a bit stressed out because I didn't have much time to prepare. And, on top of that, I was having the worst time trying to find the perfect outfit. Nothing in my closet seemed right. I was panickin

~ ROMEO ~I pulled into the parking lot and I saw that my dad's car was not there. I heaved a sigh of relief. The monster was not around, and I would not have to see his horrible face and get angry all over again. I turned off the car engine. I reached for my phone and dialed my girlfriend's number. The only person who had been making me smile lately and giving me the will to keep going.Ivy answered on the second ring. "Hey, baby!" She muttered, her voice echoing in my ears. Her voice was soft and soothing, and it calmed my nerves.The corners of my mouth curved, giving a wide smile. "Good girl," I uttered."Bad boy," She said with a chuckle in her voice. "I am at my mom's house now," I told her. I almost said "my parents' house," but that didn't feel right when it was really my mother's house."That is good," She said, her voice reassuring. "Take a deep breath and go inside. Just talk to her. She is your mother, and she deserves to know everything that is going on with you.

"Are you and Samantha in a relationship?" I blurted, unable to stop the question from tumbling out of my mouth.I had not meant to ask it so bluntly, but the question had always been on my mind. I could not get it out of my head. We were in my bedroom now, sitting across from each other. Romeo was leaning against the headboard of my bed, while I was on a chair by the bedside table. His brows drew together, his gaze averting from mine. "I told you I am not dating her. If I was, I would not be here with you, and I would not have told you that I wanted you back," He replied.I chewed on my bottom lip, remembering the way I had felt when I saw them kissing in the cafeteria. I could still picture the way his eyes had met mine. "Why did she kiss you in the cafeteria?"I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. "And, you also kissed back.""I'm sorry," He uttered. "It was wrong, I know. I could not just push her away when she kissed me, not with all those people watching. I know that is n

~ IVY ~I drummed my fingers against the surface of my dresser, glancing over my shoulder at my phone. I had tossed it onto the bed after sending a text to Romeo. I was relieved that it had not landed on the floor.The message itself was not risky, but it was an emotional risk for me to send it. I was anxious for his response, and my heart was beating rapidly. I could not stop my mind from racing. What if everything he had written in the letter had been a prank? Why did I always feel so anxious when it came to Romeo? I hated that he had such control over my emotions. At the same time, part of me liked how he could make me feel things I had never felt before. He made me do things I never would have otherwise, like inviting him over at night. I was grateful my mother was out of town in an emergency, and would not be back until the next day. I didn't want to have to explain Romeo's presence to her.I was shaking my leg, still filled with nervous energy. Why hadn't he responded? Was he

My lips moved to my teeth as I bit my bottom lip. My eyes darted down to the letter, taking in the neat, bold handwriting. The letter was not that long. What was I even saying? Romeo had never been the type to write letters. He was never one for expressing his feelings through writing, or telling stories. It was strange that he had chosen to write a letter now, instead of asking to meet in person. I guess he must have thought I would not have agreed to see him. I cleared my throat, preparing to read the letter aloud. I had no idea why my heart was racing. It was just a letter, nothing more. Or was it?I began to read:° My Good Girl ° I miss you, and I can't stop thinking about you. I know it is crazy to say this, but I think I'm falling more in love with you now that we are apart. The more I try to escape these feelings, the deeper I fall. Now, I regret breaking us up. We were almost perfect. We had something special, but I ruined it. I know I didn't do it on purpose, but t
