"Hey, you coming?" I asked.
"Nah, just go ahead." He said to me. "I think seeing you will be for the best. If you need help carrying him, just call or something."
"You sure?" I raised an eyebrow.
He nodded.
I made my way toward the front door of the bar and walked in. I continued to walk when my eyes spotted Dean's back, fully slouched, his hair a toppled mess on his head. I could make out the drink in his hand. I was about to walk up to him but stopped in my tracks wh

Chapter 41Immediately we were in Dean's bedroom, he shut the door and pressed my back against it. In a swift moment, his lips were on mine again and I felt my insides explode. I reached to cup his face in my hands but he held them in place and pinned them above my head to the door. I couldn't help the moan that escaped me immediately our tongues met each other's.Our lips moved in perfect sync, leisurely, selfishly. I let out a heavy breath when his lips made their way to my neck, working their magic on them. His hands found their way under my thighs and lifted me up effortlessly. I wrapped my legs around his waist and ran my hand through his hair. His hair was full and soft, just like his lips.I made a sound so low in my throat as I felt Dean suck hard on my neck, moving away from his door and placing me on his cupboard, my butt pushing a few items to the floor. I couldn't care less a

Chapter 42"Grace, your boyfriend's here!" I heard Chris yell from the living room.I bit my lip as my heart began to race. I took a quick glance at my reflection in the mirror. I let out an exasperated sigh when I tried to get my hair in place.I frowned as I ran a hand through my hair, "More makeup, perhaps?" I bit my lip and looked at my back view over my shoulder. "No. No more makeup."Ugh! I looked so ugly!I was dressed in a black leather jacket over a purple floral summer dress with a sweetheart neckline, which ended a little above my knees with black heels on my feet. I groaned as I picked up a scrunchy from my vanity and tied my hair up in a loose ponytail."Grace!" I heard Chris shout again. "What's the hold up?!""I'm coming!" I shouted back.I placed my phone and lip g

Chapter 43Chapter 43"Shhh." I shushed, holding back a giggle. "Shut the fuck up Dean, I'm serious.""Okay, okay." He held his hands up in surrender, stifling a laugh. "I'm not even saying anything, you're the one who can't shut up."I glared at him playfully and he dug his face into my neck, making bear sounds."You are absolutely the worst person in the entire universe." I chuckled softly and jogged away from him, toward the front door, Dean following suit behind me.I placed my index finger above my lip

Chapter 44"Penelope!" Jenna exclaimed as she jogged over to Mrs Ryan."Jenna, dear!" Mrs Ryan embraced her with a beaming smile on her face.That hurt more than it was supposed to."It's so nice to see you again, darling." Mrs Ryan pulled away. "How was your trip here?""It was good." Jenna replied, a smile plastered on her face. "It feels so good to be back in LA after such a long time. Thank you for inviting me here.""Our home would always be your home too, Jenna." Mrs Ryan said lovingly to her.She didn't use that tone of voice with me, she didn't smile like that to me. Hell, she didn't even look pleased to see me. It was obvious to everyone that she loved Jenna, like she was her very own daughter and i

Chapter 45My eyelids fluttered opened and I had to put my hand above my face to block the rays of the striking morning sun from my face. I looked beside me to see that the space I expected Dean to be lay in was empty. I ran a hand down my face as I sat up. I was about to take my phone from the nightstand but something else got my attention.A note.I bit my lip as I reached for the note and opened it. It read;Goodmorning Chip.Slept like a baby and had quite the dream. But unfortunately, I have to leave so my Mom won't see us. And you look really pretty when you sleep.Yours,Ice cream Man.That was a good way to start my morning.Once

Chapter 46 "...yeah and I'm sorry for that but you can't expect me to just agree to this." "Mom, I'm not in the mood for an argument right now, so just please… don't stop me from doing this." The voices that spoke in hushed tones blended into my sleep, while I was at the verge of consciousness. I heard the monotonous voices again and my eyelids fluttered open and immediately, I felt a slight pain in my head. I sat up straight and noticed that I was in a room I was unfamiliar with and in clothes that weren't mine. I let out a low sound as my fingers went up to my temples, rubbing them in a circular motion. "I can not believe what you are saying right now, Jason." I heard a voice which I recognized to be Mrs Ryan's speak, and her tone wasn't so pleasant. "We're adults, okay? What do you think I'm gonna do? Get her pregnant?" I heard Dean whisper, clearly aggravated. I furrowed my brows slightly as I stepped out of the bed, taking short, careful strides towards them. "I'm not lett

Chapter 47My eyelids parted open and I had to put a hand above my face to block the sunlight. I felt firm arms around me and I looked to my side to see Dean, his eyes shut, his lips slightly apart and his breathing steady. Memories from last night came flooding in my mind and a small smile creeped on my face while I sat there, admiring how beautiful he looked asleep.I smiled and kissed his forehead, "I love you too."I slipped out of his grasp, being careful not to wake him. After putting on Dean's black V-neck which ended mid-thigh, I threw a coat on my body and walked out of the room.The house was still quiet, like everyone else was asleep. I made my way downstairs, wandering around the place as I took time to admire the Christmas decorations for once since I came here. I came across their swimming pool and I made my way towards it, sliding the door open and walki

Chapter 48A new year.I always had this bittersweet nostalgic feeling whenever a new year came around. It always made me remember.It made me remember what it was like for me that very period 365 days ago, it made me grateful for life and the people around me, it made my heart fill up with joy, knowing that I had grown into a better person than who I was before.The new year felt good and I couldn't be happier.I enjoyed the rest of the little break I had left and headed back to Santa Clara when school commenced again. A lot of time had gone in the new year and January was almost over. School work had already started eating up my time because if I wasn't learning, I was studying. I just really wanted to be focused on good grades.My Dad and I had also been talking a lot now. He liked to call me his second therapist. He'd say that talking to me about everything he

We talked about how she had received a call from Dean Ryan and the heart-to-heart conversation they had.We talked about how hesitant she was to contact me when the truth behind the photo was revealed.

Chapter 71"Hi." Dean said in the most feathery voice, his tone completely matching mine.Someone teach me how to breathe, please.I literally held my heart in my hands as I stood in front of him. I had no idea how this was going to go or what I should've said next but all I knew was that there were a million things that I was finally ready to get off my chest. I was done fighting it, I was done trying to act strong, I was done with all of it. Because standing there in that very moment, I realized something;I missed him.God, I missed him painfully."Can I come in?" I asked him.He cleared his throat like my voice snapped him out of a trance

Chapter 70I woke up the next morning with this nervous feeling in my stomach. Every action I performed, right from brushing my teeth, having a shower and getting ready, made the feeling in my stomach go up a notch every time.Every bone in my body screamed at me to just stay home today until I was sure that I could go to school without feeling like anxiety was about to knock me out but there was also a voice at the back of my mind that told me to suck it up and get this over with once and for all.I swear, I felt like a freshman on their first day of high school.Chris and I's schedule no longer aligned this year.

Chapter 69{ G R A C E }Summer had come to an end, making it close to two months since I last saw or spoke to Dean.I remember that day vividly everyday. I remember how hurt Dean looked when I walked out of the penthouse which was basically our home for months. I remember how his face fell when he begged me not to fall out of love with him and I lied through my teeth. I remember feeling like a part of me was missing when I had to force myself to be okay. I remember going back to my best friend and him trying to get me to hear him out.Chris had told me that Dean had explained to him what really happened and that if I'd just listen to what

Chapter 68{ D E A N }Three days.I hadn't heard from Grace in three days.Ever since she broke up with me, I've felt completely empty. As cheesy and over the top as this may sound, everything seemed to have lost purpose and meaning. I never thought a time like this would come, where Grace would no longer want anything to do with me, where we wouldn't be together.After that morning at Chris', I drove back home feeling the deepest void inside me. I had been texting Grace nonstop to hear me out but I haven't gotten a response from her. It was only today that I realized that she had blocked my number, if not deleted it and that hurt me, a lot.

My head was spinning, everything around me at that moment was spinning. I felt a heavy lump in my throat as my eyes never left the laptop screen. Jenna was saying something but I had completely drowned her out, trying to calm the wave going on in my head.The photo stared back at me, taunting me, mocking me, causing a thousand questions to flood through my mind and rush back out. I wanted to believe that this was all just some stupid prank, that Jenna was lying about all of this, that Dean had not

We still hadn't seen the photos, Chris wouldn't let us. He said he wanted us to see it for the first time in the exhibit and we didn't mind, honestly. We were just really proud of him and his accomplishments.The photo exhibit was tonight and Dean and I had gotten ready to leave. We had agreed to meet Chris there, as well as our other friends whom he had invited. I was dressed in a rose gold dress which hugged my upper body and flared from my waist, ending mid-thi

Chapter 65"Oh my Jesus!" The sound of Chris' voice boomed over the entire living room. "Holy fucking shit! I'm gonna be blind, I'm gonna be blind! I'm gonna be fucking blind!""Chris, what the fuck?!" Dean shouted as he wrapped me up in him as an attempt to cover me up."I'm never gonna see again!" Chris exaggerated, throwing his hands over his eyes. "Please put some fucking clothes on! Holy mother of Jesus. How will I ever unsee that?"I couldn't help but laugh at how ridiculous he was being. Dean's glare etched his features as he lifted himself off me, looking around for wherever we threw our clothes to. He tossed his shirt to me, putting on his briefs right after. I put the sh
