2021-08-20 11:14:19I was so shocked that I yelled his name. When his eyes met Cole's, he had an angry look plastered across his usually expressionless face. I glanced over at Cole to see if he was as surprised as I was but instead he had a devilish grin on his face. He knew, he knew that Asher worked here, that's why he brought me here. I should've known something was wrong when he suggested we dined at a fancy restaurant like this. My blood began to boil as I realized that this wasn't a 'date' date, this was a 'make Asher jealous by going out with Alex to his workplace' date.
"Let's move to a table outside." I said, not meeting his eyes because he would surely convince me to stay, and I would give in.
"But Alex I-"
"I'll have a table ready for you in a minute." Asher said before leaving.
"Hey." He called, but I didn't answer. "Alex." I wish he'd get that I was angry.
I heard indistinctive whispers coming from outside the door then someone other than Asher came in an

Cole's POV "Are you all right?" Alex asked as she helped me walk to my car. "Yeah, I'm fine." I coughed. He hit me right in the gut but damn it was worth it, she was squeezing me so tight and it was really warm, he'll never experience that because she picked me. "I can drive if you're not feeling too good?" She offered. "Thanks." I smiled. She walked me to the passenger's seat and went into the driver's side. Before we drove out, one of the waiters who was holding Asher back, came to knock on the window. "I'm sorry about my coworker, we'll be docking your meal out of his pay." He smiled and left. "Let's go." When we got to her house, she helped me out of the car and into her home. Zoe was still here and Logan, apparently, was at a party. "We'll be in my room." Alex said to Zoe before taking me upstairs. She dropped me on her bed, it was still hurting. She took off her clothes right

Alex's POV It's winter break now and we resume school next year January 3rd. It's been 3 week since Asher kissed me, I haven't told Cole about it yet because he gets riled up over nothing these days, he saw some of Asher's clothes in my locker and almost burnt them all. He kept asking me why I still had it but he wasn't here anymore and I couldn't give it back to him. Cole walked into my room without knocking, "Hey." he said. "Hi." I replied, not taking my eyes off my phone. "I found out his address, let's go return his clothes." He said and walked to the front of my closet. "What the fuck?" I yelled, surprised. "I don't like seeing his clothes here... please." he begged. I stood up and started ransacking my closet, only to realize that I had less of his clothes than I thought; The hoodie and black sweatpants from the first party of our junior year (referring to ch. 1 or 2, idk, could be 3), the shirt and white sweatpants from

Alex's POV "You're having a formal party?!" I yelled, surprised at what Chris was saying. "Yup. he nodded. "With tuxedos and gowns?" I asked, shock unwavering. "The whole sheba-" "If you say that word, I will break up with you." Zoe glared at him. "Yes, everything." he said. He turned to leave then stopped, "Oh, I invited Asher, he's bringing a plus one." he smiled and left. Zoe and I glanced at each other and frowned, "Now we have to make you look good." she said. "But-" "Extra good." she said seriously. Tamron's POV Asher threw the invitation into the trash, "I'm not going." he said. "Come on, for me?" I asked, cupping his cheek in my palms, "Please." He held my hands and brought them down then made eye contact with me, "No." he dropped my hands and left. I picked the envelope from the trash and texted the number on it,we'll be there.

Asher's POV After that, Tamron started bringing different boys over everyday, I knew this was her way at getting over me so I gave her space, I avoided her durin breakfast, lunch and dinner. I avoided her practically every hour of the day, I didn't realize how lonely I was without our conversations and her flirty yet hurtful comebacks to everything. I soon started to miss her. I was walking in a different hallway, the path that strayed from the normal ones that everybody uses and I bumped into her. "Sorry." I said and turned to leave. "Asher," she called then shook her head, "nevermind." She walked past me. That was the last time we talked till the new semester was about to begin. The week before my first day in the new school, Richard ordered me to come down for breakfast. I walked into the dining hall and sat next to Ben. "Why aren't you eating?" Michael asked. "I'm not hungry." I said, staring at the table instead of

Tamron's POV"B-Ben, I don't think Asher was being-"Suddenly, he sent the books and pens on the table clattering to the floor, "So he was lying?" he growled."N-no, tha-that's n-""Tamron, don't tell me you were dating my little brother--who just got his heart broken-- because you couldn't get to me." he slammed his fist on the empty table."I-I don't know." I tried to get the words out but I was too scared, scared that he may be right, scared that Asher might've been right."I'm gay Zoe." he said."I know." I said."I'm gay." he repeated."You think I don't know that?" I yelled, "When you dated that one girl, I thought I had a chance but then you got a boyfriend and Asher, he was available.""Just when I though you couldn't be more of a bitch." he shook his head.I was hurt, I couldn't stop the words from coming out of my mouth. "At least I don't take it up the ass by some rando guy." I said and walked ou

Asher's POVMy fifth first day of school, you'd think I would've gotten used to it by now. I stood infront of the full body mirror, knotting my tie, when Ben and Tamron walked in. They still hadn't talked since last time."It's time to go." they said in unison but you could tell it wasn't planned by the shocked looks on their faces.Ben rolled his eyes and walked out, followed by Tamron. I picked my bag and trailed behind them. I did the same when we got to school, I was the talk of the whole junior building, rumors started going around since before I even started at the school because of Ben and Tamron's friends. Apparently, there were assigned classes and Ben and Tamron had different classes than mine, I could just imagine Ben scowling, having to sit next to her.As soon as I walked into my class, silence took over and everyone's attentions were on me. Their eyes followed me as I went to the front of the class to introduce myself and when I was walking

Asher's POV "How was your first day?" Richard asked during dinner. "Like you care." I scoffed. Richard turned to Ben, who was quick to spill everything, "He fit in better than you thought he would." "I see." The rest of the dinner was just eating. I tucked Lily in and went to my room, where Ben and Tamron were waiting for me. "So you guys are talking again?" I asked because I didn't hear Tamron apologize. "She apologized during class." Ben said. "And this was before or after lunch?" I asked. "A-" "Speaking of lunch, where did your boyfriend disappear to?" Tamron interrupted him. "Yeah, he said he was gonna throw something away but never came back." Ben concurred. "I don't know." I shrugged, "When I went back to class, he was already there so I just assumed that something came up." "Aw, did your boyfriend get jealous?" Tamron joked. "Drop it Tamron, Ben may have forgiven yo

Alex's POV"So where did you go with Cole yesterday?" Zoe asked, laying on my bed."Heaven." I sighed."So I take it you guys had sex... well whatever, here's the morning after pill." she threw a drugstore bag into my lap, "You should really tell Cole to wear a condom, who knows where his dick's been." she scoffed."I'll remember that for next time." I smiled, hoping that she'd catch it.She turned to me, wide-eyed, "Next time?!" she asked, shocked and I nodded, "I guess you're done feeling guilty.""Yeah, I think it was more about me wanting to know that he didn't like me anymore, like I wanted to know if it was actually okay to be with Cole." I said, looking at the pink contraceptive pill."Let's unpack that." she said, sitting up. "Why did you need permission from him in the first place?""I didn't need his permission.""But you just said, you wanted to know if it was okay for you to date Cole, to me that sounds like

Junior Year The End
Asher's POV Mmmm... it's been so long since I held her like this. I wrap my arms around her waist, pulling her closer to me as I delved in her taste, "I missed you so much." I whisper into her mouth. She broke the kiss, staring into my eyes and she smiled a very infectious smile, a smile that cut deep into my heart, before she kissed me again. ** We laid in bed together, making out for what seemed like an eternity until I finally broke away and turned to lay on my back. She moved in next to and rest her head on my arm while slowly tracing the scar across my chest. "Is it just me or is make up sex so much better?" she asks. I laughed, "Then maybe we should fight more often-" "No," she immediately says, "Not like that," she stared up at me, "never like that." "I was just kidding." I assured her and kissed her forehead. Now that we're back together, I feel like the worst is over. "What are you gonna do abou
Junior Year Chapter Sixty
Alex’s POV A whole week had passed after that night, there was nothing from Asher, call, text, nothing. I texted him to apologize but he never got back to me, I called so much that his voicemail box filled up and he still hadn't gotten back to me. I hope he's okay. The teacher walked in briskly and pulled down the projector screen before moving over to her computer and typing aggressively, practically the whole class could hear it. "Ms. Brown, you're gonna break that if you don't calm down." Noah jested and the whole class laughed, even me. She looked at us and back at the computer, unbothered by his comment, we were about to graduate anyways, so the teachers could give a crap about teaching us anything. A few minutes into the period and Emma bursts into the classroom and pulls me out with her, "Excuse us." she said to the tecaher before we left. "Have you heard from Asher at all?" she asked.
Junior Year Chapter Fifty-nine
Alex’s POV 2 weeks passed and we hadn’t talked or even exchanged glances and to be completely honest, I’ve been sleeping better ever since the break up, much better, I haven’t had nightmares and I don’t see his scars open up, but I’d be lying if I said he was doing good too. He always came into class either late or hungover and sometimes both, till he got suspended. We’re graduating soon so he shouldn’t be acting like this. I couldn’t help but think this was my fault but I just wanted him to put himself first. Emma stormed into the classroom and stopped right in front of my table, “You fucking bitch,” she yelled. “Miss Rodriguez.” the teached exclaimed. Emma ignored him and continued to glare at me, “It’s not my fault, he-”
Junior Year Chapter Fifty-Eight
Asher's POV Fuck, how didn't I notice this? I had nightmares before-- not that they were the same as this but, I knew the signs; dark circles under the eyes from lack of sleep which are clear under hers right now, the persistent fear, I could see the fear in her eyes when she looked at me, so somehow it's centered around me. "Can you tell me what you saw?" I whispered into her hair. She hiccuped and sniffled against my chest, he grip tightened on my arm and I knew she didn't want to talk about it. "You don't have to tell me right now," I said, stroking her hair, "you can tell me later." I looked at the clock in the hallway, it was 12:57pm, three more minutes till passing period. We have to get out of her before that. I picked her up, walked into the nearest empty classroom and plopped down on a chair, slowly cradling her on my lap, "It's okay." I whispered to her. We stayed this way for a while, passing period had gone by and luckily n
Junior Year Chapter Fifty-Seven
Alex's POV A month had passed since the cabin thing, most of Asher's wounds had healed and everyone was back in high spirits since graduation was coming up. This was our last year of high school, of course we'd be happy. Asher and I were currently on a picnic date-- our first date since spring break. Richard, Asher's dad, had told taken him to their mansion to recuperate and now he's back, I just hope that he's really okay, the doctor said that he would heal physically but it was a traumatic experience. "What are you thinking about?" Asher's voice cut through my thoughts. I shook my head, "Nothing." He stared at me, not believing a word I'd said, "Okay," he held my waist and pulled me to sit on his lap with my legs spread on either side on his thighs. "Asher, your chest." I gasped, struggling out of his hold. "I'm okay." he said and held me on him till I calmed down, he moved his hands from my waist and began to unbutton his sh
Junior Year Chapter Fifty-Six
Alex's POV We approached the cabin quietly and watching out for any traps that they may have laid down for us. Zoe took my hand, pulled it over her head and wrapped her hand around my waist to help me walk. "He's gonna be just fine," I said, "right?" I asked, suddenly unsure of my former statement. Zoe didn't answer and just stared straight ahead at Cole and Chris's backs as we neared the cabin. Eva decided to stay in the car, she sounded like she didn't even care about Asher. "So what's the deal man?" I heard Chris whisper to Cole, "Why are you just okay with being Eva's henchman?" "I don't think this is the right time for this talk Chris." Cole spat. Chris remained silent the rest of the walk until we got to the cabin doors, "Just whatever it is man, nothing and I mean nothing will ever come between our friendship, no secret is that big." he said and immediately kicked down the door. "Asher!" I yelled immediately, hoping to s
Junior Year Chapter Fifty-Five
Asher's POV I woke up to the sound of rustling in the room, followed by the door closing. I looked down to Alex who was sleeping peacefully in my arms, it was a nice feeling to wake up like this, I looked the window to see that the sky had cleared a little. I kissed her forehead and pushed off the duvet from my body, revealing all the various marks on her body and I couldn't help but smile, "I'm sorry." I whispered into her hair even though what I was feeling was far from remorse. I covered her fully so she wouldn't be cold and got up from the bed, my clothes which I had discarded on the floor weren't there anymore, I looked around, spotting the bags of snacks on the chest and the foot of the bed and then out clothes right next to it. I walked over and put on all my clothes before leaving the room. I walked into the kitchen to make some breakfast for us when I heard whispers coming from a room next to it. I didn't want to eavesdrop but I couldn't help myself and stuc
Junior Year Chapter Fifty-Four
Asher's POV I heard his voice but Alex saw him first, I turned around to see the man. He was gruff and short, wearing a red flannel with a grey tank underneath that was pulled up over his big belly with brown stains on it and his jeans were unbuttoned, his fly was open. I looked down to his feet and immediately laughed, on one foot was a plain black slipper and on the other was a pink fluffy bunny slipper, he probably has a daughter and hurried down here. Just then a little girl and a woman appeared behind him. "Honey who was it?" she asked, and once her eyes fell on us, her expression softened, "Well aren't you a darling," she said and whispered something to the little girl before she walked over to Alex, "You must be cold. Come, I just drew a bath, you can get in if you want." "Um..." Alex looked to me then back at her, "Thanks." she said and was pulled into the cabin by the lady. The little girl walked up to me and grabbed my jeans, "And you come w
Junior Year Chapter Fifty-Three
Alex's POVWe had two weeks left till spring break, the plan was to go to their "cabin in the woods" thing, normally we'd have gone to the beach or something but we needed to help Cole, if at all he's being blackmailed but sometimes I wonder what he's being blackmailed with, I found out he was cheating on me so what other secret does she know that we don't? That's what we have to find out, maybe if we know this big secret, he won't be under her spell but I can't help but think of how this secret would affect all of us. What exactly did you do Cole?After that fight with Asher, I doubt he's going to want to come, we both said some pretty hurtful stuff to each other, I knew he'd never go back to Eva after what she did but she was his first everything so obviously I'd be intimidated--- the realization hit me like a freight train, this was probably how he felt with Cole and I went ahead and cheated on him, god I'm the worst.**It was time, I had packed my th
