LUCY'S POV
LUCY'S POVA few weeks has passed and I've come to the fact that mum has a boyfriend now and as gross as it sounds, she needs to be happy. And Jonas or Jones, whatever, seems to be the one to do it for her so it's alright, I guess. But if he so much as breaks her heart after what my prick of a father did, I'm going to break something of his that won't ever be replaced.I confronted Tamar about the day she left in a hurry and she evaded the question while slyly bringing up Cole and the fact that we've started hanging out. I shrugged off her matter, whenever she's ready to talk I'll be here to listen.Cole, well, as I said we've started hanging out. It was after his little fainting episode which I still tease him about often. We've been on okay terms lately, that's if you don't count the times I "mistakenly" elbowed him for looking at me weirdly.At first I hated his gut because he seemed like a playboy but from spending a little time with him, I discovered he wasn't that bad. He was ac
Lucy'sPov"Oh my God!" I exclaimed as my eyes nearly fell out of their sockets. If you think it was an exclamation of excitement, you were so, so, so, totally wrong.
Lucy's PovI scoffed. "Yea, right. I'm pretty sure there's a bomb waiting to explode on my face."What do you do when your rival tries to play nice? You kick 'em to the curb and tell them to fuck off, that's what! And that's exactly what amma do to Natasha."No thanks, I'm good." I said as sweetly as I could muster with a fake smile and resumed basking in the shadowed rays of the sun. Some seconds passed and her shadow still stayed obstructing me.I sighed internally and raised myself up on my elbows."Fine, give me the stupid box," I scowled, glaring at her.She tilted her head and smiled widely– to me she looked like Tom when he devises an evil plan for jerry– showing her teeth.I returned her smile with an even faker one and snatched the box harshly from her hands and threw it by my side."Thank you, now go away!" I said gruffly and laid down again. It didn't take long and I could feel the sun's beautiful ray
Cole's POVI watch from afar as she struggles to walk in the heels and couldn't help by laugh softly. Never thought I'd see the day that Lucy Hale wore a dress, much less, heels.I see as her lips move and I guess she muttering profanities against Tamara as she she wobbles, not so much as caring who looks at her, and glaring at those who give her smug stares.To save her from her misery, I walk over to her."Never seen you in a dress before," I remark on reaching her. I let my eyes roam her body and assess her. She was wearing the gift that she received on her birthday— an elbow length sea green gown that stopped mid-thigh, hugging her curves and a cleavage that's not so open but also not closed. Her hair was styled in French braids and her lips were doused with red lipstick.She looked really damn hot!"Ditto!" She said, bringing me out from my thoughts and giving me a once over. I actually thought I said my thoughts aloud but s
She looks around, seeing fathers with their daughters. It's fathers day. On the street are laughter everywhere. People laughing and happiness in the air. She looks at her surroundings, eyes watering at the thought of when she would be truly happy.'Just like this' by Chainsmokers & Coldplay, states to play. The tears trimmer down her eyes to her cheeks. Seated on the bench, she sobs quietly. She feels envy towards them. She feels hatred. She never wanted this, but fate had other plans.Head low, hands in pocket, she wanders around, grief and sadness overwhelming her.She looks at a particular father and daughter from the store window. Anger boils in her, pain she never expected to feel, all come rushing. She has heard of heartbreak, but she never expected it to be this painful, hurtful.Why would he leave me? I didn't do anything wrong. Why couldn't he love me? What does she have that I and mother didn't? How could he just leave us like that?
Lucy's PovWhat the hell almost happened?Why is my heart beating a hundred times per second? And why the hell am I flushed?I can't believe I almost kissed Cole! Or he almost kissed me, whatever! I can't believe either of those almost happened! I mean, sure he's looking good tonight but still, he's Cole!Ughh!!!What is wrong with me?Did I want him to kiss me? What am I even saying???I washed my hands while berating my reflection infront of the wide mirror in the restroom. My purse was nowhere to be seen as I had left Cole in a hurry but my important things were safe in my chest.It was just a little dance, so why am I flustered? Maybe it was the glass of champagne I took before seeing Cole, or maybe it was seeing him nicely dressed in a suit that scattered my brain a bit.The champagne must be really getting to me...Stupid suit! Stupid Cole!I sighed and turned off the tap.Then there was a knock on the door."Lucy, you in here?" I heard from the door and I saw Tamara's head some
Lucy's PovWait a second... Fiancee? But Cole's like my age, right? I turned to glance at him, taking in his smooth face, chiseled jawline, very cute pointed nose. He doesn't look like someone who's ready to graduate, talk more of get married or be engaged to someone else.No offense there.I returned my gaze back to Rosa Park. She looked like a Barbie doll with her outfit, but she was pretty and boy did she know it. You could just feel the aura of pride around her with a hint of a large ego dashed with her parents money."I don't owe you anything. We've talked about this Rosalyn," Cole spoke icily, "You're not my fiancee. Not now, not ever."Her smile faltered a bit, but she maintained her countenance. "Say whatever you may, Cole, but we're betrothed to each other regardless of whatever our affections may be," her gaze reached mine. "Remember what my family has done for yours? Your father and your family won't be where you are now without the help of my father," as she spoke, I hear
LucyDamn if I didn't feel cool after saying that. Regardless, what I said needed to be said at that moment. Just because he's hurting doesn't mean he should push away the few people still ready to take his shit (myself included).Going back to the party, I found the little princess talking to Coles parents and I could see the way they both beamed at her, like she was an angel sent from heaven. A frown settled on my face taking in the scenery, the little voice at the back of my mind wishing at that moment we exchanged bodies and I was the one standing and smiling at Coles parents, but I brushed the voice away, shaking my head slightly. I made my way back to the table to see that there was a new addition to the table. Before I could take my seat, the person looked up from their phone and gave me a small smile, looking me over. Not the kind that Coles parents would give– the snobby, I'm rich you're not, I'm better than everyone kind of look but kind of like a– I'm intrigued to meet th
