Chapter Twenty-One - Last week
Asher's POV
For some reason, anytime I ask Alex out, she says no, she turns the other way when she sees me in the hallway. I don't know why she's so blatantly avoiding me when she can just tell me. I finally cornered her on the way to the field, I placed both hands on either side of her, trapping her in front of me.
"W-what are you doing?" She asked, not looking me in the eyes.
"Why've you been avoiding me?"
"I-I haven't been avoiding you." She blinked repeatdly in a fast pace.
"Why are you lying to me?" I sighed, "Look, whatever it is, you can tell me, okay? I lo-"
She slapped both hands over my mouth, "D-don't say that." She said.
I felt her hands trembling over my lips, I took them off and held it in mine, "Okay, I won't."
She shook my hand off and ran away, I thought to go after her but I was still in shock. The tiny moment when she turned to run away, I saw her face, she was all red, from her cheeks to her ears, even her f

Alex's POV When I woke up, Asher had already left. I stood up and went to brush and take a bath, it's been so long since I took a relaxing bath. While I was dressing up, I saw my phone light up at the corner of my eyes, I went to get it, thinking it was from Cole and I noticed a piece of paper under it with Asher's name scribbled across it. "I guess he wrote me a note before he left." I whispered. I opened the note and it read: I think we should end this. The first sentence hit me like a train, I assumed that I'd be the one doing the breaking up so I didn't prepare myself for the possibility that he might do it. It's not about the cheating, it's just that I always had hope, you know, that you'd eventually fall for me but after last night, I realized that it was all just in my head... and I know you told me that this was only for fun, I knew that but I just wanted you and honestly, I didn't care how I got you and that was s
Junior Year Chapter Twenty-Three
Alex's POV When I got home, my brother was in his room, visiting hours at the hospital ends at 9:30 so I got home pretty late. I walked in and saw droplets of blood on the floor that led me to the kitchen and the living room. "Let's play it out." I said, "Asher walks in, drops his keys on the table, then they go into living room to 'talk' then he punches him a lot, Asher passes out, Logan leaves to talk to Cole and during that time, Asher stands up, walke into the kitche, takes his keys and leaves." "Damn, you should be a detective." I looked around the room to see my brother standing in front of the stairs, arms crossed. "Cole was right. You are right, he probably left after I did. Normally anyone would pass out the first time I hit them but he didn't, even after I tackled him, he still managed to get up." he chuckled, "He's getting on my last fucking nerves." he said with a twisted smile on his face. "Leave him alone." I barked, "Haven't you
Junior Year Chapter Twenty-Four
I 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
Junior Year Chapter Twenty-Six
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.
Junior Year Chapter Twenty-Eight
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

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
