Blue Ribbon Chapter 10
Remember when I said that I will be the one in control, that I will try to keep myself at a safe distance from Christian.Yeah, that ain't happening."So, I took the liberty to book our rooms beforehand," Louis said once we arrived at the resort.He handed a key-card to Joe, "You and Stacy in the same room of course," He placed another card in his pocket, "One only for me, you know in case I pick up a girl," He winked at us, "Considering it's my birthday and all."He handed the last card to Christian, "And one for you and Lilly.""Uh wait, hold on, hold on," I interjected, "I was under the impression that I will be staying alone," I stressed out, "Like in a totally separate room with a couple of floors away from his."Louis's eyebrows pulled together and he looked between the four of us, "Okay, are we gonna pretend that I didn't see you two kissing at the club and then leaving alone," He said ever so casually, "I mean, you saw each other naked, so there is no problem in staying in the

Three months later...Lilly's POV"Lilly, it's your turn," Louis ushered and I placed my cards down with a very proud smile."Oh, come on," he whined, slamming down his cards with a loud huff.I chuckled, "Don't be a sore loser," I said and his brown eyes shot me a very hard glare.His phone rang and his gaze drifted to the screen before they went back to me, "This is not over yet, you just declared war, little one," He threatened before he got to his feet and walked away to answer his phone.Christian chuckled and wrapped an arm around my back and on instinct, I leaned closer into his embrace. It was natural now, to have his skin on mine, to be in his presence and surrounded by him.It has been three months since our little weekend getaway and Christian and I stuck to our words. Within the walls of our university, he is only my professor and I am his student. As hard and thrilling it was, with just a few teasing looks here and a few winks there, we didn't do anything too illegal.We

"Well, someone is in a good mood," Sally commented, addressing the big smile over my lips as I took a seat beside her."Why wouldn't I be?" I questioned and made her scoot away, making a place for Noah."She didn't stop smiling since she got here," Noah commented, as he took the seat beside mine.I turned to him and raised an eyebrow, "Hey, you're on my side, okay?"He raised his arms in surrender and I nodded in satisfaction, "Of course she won't stop smiling, considering her boyfriend is gonna give us a lecture in five minutes," Sally mumbled, totally bothered at the fact.I shot her a glare, "He is not my boyfriend," I hissed at her before my eyes drifted around the class, hoping no one heard her, "And shush!""I don't think I'll ever be okay with this," She mumbled annoyed before her eyes drifted to Noah, "Come on you, back me up over here!"He just shrugged, "I haven't seen anything bad from his side, so why not," He said, sticking to my side, "Let her have some fun."I nudged hi

Chase's POV"Hey," I said to Conner, as I stood by his room's door. My voice grabbed his attention from the laptop's screen and to me."Yeah?" He asked and I pulled the near chair and sat across from him, "I am gonna ask for a favor and you can't say no."His eyebrows pulled together, "Okay?"I nodded my head toward his phone, "Take that," I said and he confusingly picked his phone up, "Now, open it," I added and he did that, "Now, call Sally."His eyes snapped from the phone to me and they widened a bit, "Wait, what? Why? Why would I do that? What do you want? What's wrong?"My eyebrows pulled closer at his refusal, "Weren't you two close friends, what happened?"He chuckled nervously, "Me and Sally? Close?" He shook his head, "No, no, we were just normal friends, normal, not close, casual even, I mean more like acquaintances actually," He started rambling, "I mean, a friend is too big of a word sometimes, like yeah you and me, we are friends, but like Sally and me," He waved his han

Chase's POVThe words scraped out of my throat before I pulled the phone away, my mind and heart started a battle of their own, the first showing the evident proof of her actions and the other defending her with every ounce of love it had for her.I first felt the shock mixed with denial; because a small part of me still thought she was just lying, trying to push me away again.That part's voice faded away almost immediately when I heard whoever was beside her, that's when the anger overwhelmed every other feeling left. My fingers tightened over the phone, my fist itching to seek destruction just at the mere thought that...Fuck, I couldn't even begin to comprehend that she actually moved on, leaving what we once had behind her.I trusted her.I believed in what we had...in her.She did love me, I know that, it was real. Yes, it was young love, high-school love even, but it was just as real as any other feeling.But Lilly, she was always a losing battle for me, since day one, she was a

**************I woke up late for the first time in a while. I checked the time and saw that it reached one p.m. I groaned in annoyance and covered my face with my hands. I couldn't sleep all night, I remember it to be seven a.m. when I last checked the time.I breathed out a low sigh and made up my mind. I already missed my morning class, so maybe it's better to take the whole day off, it's better if I don't face Christian right away. I need time to think and rearrange my thoughts.Lazily, I got to my feet and unlocked my door before I headed to the kitchen, expecting Sally to be here since she doesn't have any classes today.A yawn parted my lips and I tiredly rubbed at my eyes. I paused in my steps when I reached the kitchen and my attention was first stolen by the one red rose laying over the counter, under it was a small piece of paper.Curious and confused, I walked closer and picked the rose up, my eyes traveled to the paper and read the words written, 'It felt so weird not to

Six months later...Lilly's POVI was close. So close.Wind whipped through around me, hot and hard, the sun blazing down from over-head. I increased my grip on the throttle, ticking it back a little more as I eased into the endpoint of the trackway. The engine warbled deep as I set a cautious but still a fast pace.An unstoppable smile crawled up my lips as I took a turn and halted the bike to a stop where everyone else was waiting for us. Adrenaline still pumped into my veins as I climbed off and took the helmet from over my head.I leaned against the bike and crossed my arms over my chest as I waited for Louis, who a minute later arrived with his bike. My eyebrow raised when he went off and shot me a hard glare, "This didn't just happen!""You mean me beating you?" I questioned proudly, "Oh yeah, I think it did."He looked around in frustration, "How in the hell-?" He rushed a hand over his face, "I can't believe this."Christian chuckled, pretty much impressed as he walked closer

*****************After Christian took his shower, we went to bed, and almost immediately he fell asleep. He's been working really hard all over the past week, he was pulling on late hours at night to finish working on his project, even tomorrow which is Sunday, he will go to the university, to finish up a few things before his big presentation on Monday comes.So, the moment he placed his head on the pillow, he was a gone case.Me, on the other hand, I couldn't sleep at all. I kept thinking back to today's little incident, something just felt off, but for the love of me, I can't figure it out.Minutes and minutes later and a low groan vibrated from my chest, annoyed at my tired body that won't just rest and sleep.My back was to Christian, pressed right up against his chest and his arm was under me. I smiled again when I stared at his tattoo and finally understood the word written, but still on the inside of his arm and around the word laid different patterns, intertwined together an

Three days later...Alex's POVNerve-racking. This wait has been the worst wait of my whole life. My nerves breaking down with every passing second and minute.Cara's state hasn't been any better. I've spent the past three days trying to get her to eat and rest but she was beyond thinking logically. I couldn't blame her. They have been keeping Max in intensive care, trying to stabilize his state and they wouldn't even let us see him, which only worsened the situation.I wanted to let the anger consume me like it once did, get out of here and search for whoever did this, but I wasn't going to repeat mistakes I made years ago. I stayed here, by my wife's side, and waited for my son to get better and I let that job...for those who can handle it better.I am going to find who did this and death wouldn't be a sentence I will give them. No, nothing I ever did before will measure up to what I will do for who dared lay a hand on my son and threaten his life and health this way.Ashton, Kathe

Alex's POV"Where are you going?" Cara asked when she saw me putting my jacket on."I don't know," I said, shaking my head, "I have to find him, I will search everywhere, I will go to the campus, I'll call his friends, anything, I need to find him."Something doesn't feel right. I have to see him, make sure he is okay, get him back home, and talk to him about everything else.She nodded, agreeing, "Okay, tell me if you find him, please." She said and my eyes fell on hers, on the redness under them, on the devastation that I haven't seen in so long.I inched closer, my hand rested over her cheek, "I will, cupcakes," I said, leaning closer, I left a kiss over her forehead.I grabbed my keys, my phone and hopped into the car. I started the engine and took off on the road. I had called him a million times since he left, but he didn't answer. As I wandered the streets, I called each and every friend he has, but none of them had seen him nor heard from him.Worry pressed harder and tighter

Max's POV Everything changed.Every fucking thing. Cold slipped through my veins, the words I heard slammed me. One by one, they struck me, battered and beat my mind, like an everlasting penalty, to pay for a crime I didn't commit.I rode down the streets, searching. For what, I didn't know.My fingers tightened over the steering wheel. A shuddered breath burned as I drew it in, my lungs pressing against my ribs, and I replayed everything in my mind, from the very start. From my first memory, up till this day.I know my parents loved me, they never had me doubting otherwise. They didn't need to reassure me, but the thing is, my confidence is slowly being destroyed, my beliefs, in myself, and in those around me are rapidly fluttering due to this.I remember reading a psychology book that said deviant behavior was genetic, and now I worry whether that evil is embedded in my genes. Whether people could tell, somehow, that I'd been created from violence...that maybe one day, I'd be just

Lilly's POVMy whole life crashes right in front of my eyes as Max mutters that word out loud.My eyes only focused on my mother, my heart rapidly breaking in my chest in a way I've never experienced before and I know that this...this would leave a permanent scar forever.The woman who raised me, who scolded me when I was wrong, who stood by my side when I was right, who supported me when I needed her to, who held my hand and guided me through life, who was just so strong and happy and full of life...I never thought that woman could've gone through something like that.I couldn't think of her as someone who was once broken, abused, and hurt.It didn't make sense.Every explanation, every scenario went through my head when Christian showed me the truth about Max, but this...this could've never crossed my head in a million years. This was not an option.It can't be.It just can't be!Oh my god, what did I do?She shook her head, her teary devastated eyes on Max, and she stood in front o

I couldn't wait for the sun to come up, so I can take Max and get the hell away from here. I couldn't sleep at all, not after everything going on. My body felt like it was slowly giving up on me with my disregard to what it needs, from food to at least some rest.I don't know what happened last night between them, whether she stayed here, or if she left, all I know is that I didn't see Chase's face after. On hesitant steps, I left his room, my eyes carefully drifting around, the last thing I want is to run into her.The moment I was about to knock on the room Max is sleeping in, the door opened and I almost bumped into him, "You're also awake?" I asked, keeping my voice low on purpose.He nodded, "I woke up hours ago," he said and I urgently added, "Let's get out of here."His eyebrows pulled closer, "To where?"I shrugged, "Anywhere, just not here," I don't want to stay where I am not welcomed and I am not leaving Max alone.He nodded, "But, I wanna go home," He said, "I want to talk
Blue Ribbon 28
Alex's POVI couldn't wait any longer. I wanted to give Max space to think things through, to make sense of the new information but I couldn't hold it in any longer. Chase texted me that he took Max to his place and even though it's too late now, I found myself there. I just wanted to see him and just make sure he is okay."He fell asleep," Chase said when he let me into his apartment. I nodded, "I am just gonna see him, that's all," I mumbled and he nodded, before he led my way to the room.My fingers curled over the knob and with a deep breath, I carefully let the door open before I stepped inside. I silenced my footsteps as I walked toward the bed and my eyes fell on him. The comforter had fallen to the ground, probably from how much he tossed and turned, the truth hunting his subconsciousness.I pulled it and covered his body before I sat by the bed's edge, Max's back to me and I let my gaze take him in, "How did you grow up so fast?" I mumbled, and a small smile pulled at my lip
Blue Ribbon 27
Lilly's POVEverywhere ached. Everything. My brain, my heart, my anxious stomach, and even my face.I swallowed down my tears and gathered enough power and knocked on the door. A few seconds in and Chase opened it, "Hey," I said, my voice hoarse from how much I cried today, "I...uh...I asked your mother to give me your address, I just want to see if Max is here?"He nodded, "Yes, he's inside, come in," He said and gave me space to enter."Thank you," I mumbled lowly as I made my way into the house. The home she was probably talking about. I hoped with everything in me that she wouldn't be here now, I just want to see my brother, that's all. I don't have the energy to deal with anyone else.I stood in the hallway, confused about where to go. My eyes fell back on Chase as he came to a stop beside me, "It took a lot of convincing to drag him here with me," He said and pointed at one of the rooms, "He is in there, he said he wanted to be alone."I nodded and before I could go there, I poi

Alex's POVI didn't know what I was feeling at the moment as I ran after Max. There was pain, there was anger, so much anger but the dominant feeling was fear.Fucking hell, I was terrified.So terrified of losing him. I did everything so I won't have to lose him, so I won't have to stand and have him look at me the way he did. Heartbroken, like I betrayed him, made him live in a lie his whole life.He looked at me, like I once looked at my own father, but I wasn't him, I am nothing like him. I was only trying to protect him, to protect them both from this truth and every fucked up thing it will bring along with it.I couldn't begin to understand Lilly and how she figured it all out. I was too angry to even fathom a single thought. My hand grasped his arm from the back, "Max, wait," I said and he snatched his arm back, "You can't go like this, you need to hear me out," I pleaded out and his bewildered eyes fell on me, eyes that looked so much like Nikolas's at the moment.The hurt in

Lilly's POVBetrayed. Hurt. Tired.So very tired.Real physical pain pressed over my chest as I stared at the man and the woman who gave me life, the ones I loved more than anything, the ones I trusted with everything in me.I trusted them enough to not break my heart.But, they did.Christian's betrayal, his whole lies for the past two years weighted nothing in front of this.Because it hurts ten times more when it comes from those you never thought would hurt you.My heart broke once again as the videos I watched over and over, played behind my eyes, "You're a liar," An anger so big clouded my senses, and that anger made me hate him at the moment, "And you're...you're a killer, dad!"The look that flashed in his eyes only proved that I was telling the truth, that after all those years, he got caught. Anger, shock, and a flicker of fear intertwined within the brown of his eyes, the ones that are just like mine, the ones that once were my home, my safe place, and my comfort.He took a
