Cole's POV...When the bonfire died out everyone started to leave so we headed downtown to the location of the after party.I think it's near a cliff or something. I've never been there before but a lot of people have died there. Apparently.We finally reached the spot and found Rook there with a few other popular kids from our school. We climbed out of the car before greeting the people outside. Lamar pulled out a blunt before lighting it up. He passed it onto me so I took a long drag from it."I'm keeping this," I told them before continuing to smoke the blunt in my hand and they scolded me. I laughed at them before grabbing Liv's hand and walking towards a tree.She looked up at me so I placed a kiss on her lips. She took the blunt from me before taking a long drag from it. She coughed a little before smiling.Her giggle filled my ears and I laughed along with her."I like your nose," Liv said before giggling wildly."I like your eyes," I said before laughing. We kissed and I was s
The next morning I flew out of my bed at the sound of my alarm. Cole's bed and also Cole's alarm. He groaned before rolling onto his stomach. My head was pounding so I frowned at the feeling."Cole get up we need to get ready," I said before leaning over him to place a kiss on his cheek.His eyes slowly opened before he sat upright. "We need to get ready." He said in realization before pecking my lips. "I'll go shower in the downstairs bathroom and make us a smoothie, okay?" I told Cole and he ran a hand through his hair."You're the best." He said before heading down the hall."Nice ass," I said at the sight of his behind and I heard him chuckle. What a man.I went downstairs and took a nice warm shower to freshen me up for the day. I wrapped a towel around my body when I was done before heading to the kitchen.I quickly made a tomato smoothie before pouring it into two glasses. I placed it into the refrigerator before going upstairs to get dressed.I slipped into a clean cheer ou
We headed downtown to McLaren's. It was starting to get chilly outside so Cole handed me his football jacket.We freshened up earlier so now I'm wearing some black jeans paired with a white strapless crop top while Cole wore some black jeans paired with a white t-shirt. We both had our Jordans on, and we looked so cute together.When we entered the building it was packed with drunk teens."Oh my gosh, hi." A girl said when she saw Cole. "Can I like get your number?" She asked shamelessly and I frowned at her.As I was about to say something Cole placed a long kiss on my mouth before looking back to the girl."No." He blankly told her before leading me somewhere through the crowd.We reached a table with different bottles on it and Cole started to fix us some drinks."So what happened between you and that Storm guy?" I asked carefully and Cole briefly glanced at me."We were just talking." He replied under his breath. Cole never hides his fights from me and that's clearly what he's doin
The next morning I woke up in Cole's arms. I hugged him tightly before smiling with closed eyes.Then I remembered what day today was. My smile dropped from my face but I pushed it all to the back of my head. Every memory and every laugh, fuck even every fight we had. Seems so far away now. Does Cole know?I don't know life moves on I guess."Good morning." He said before kissing my forehead."Hi," I said before looking up at him."How do I still feel tired?" He asked in a sleepy voice and I giggled lightly."Did you sleep at all?" I asked him and he placed his arm over his eyes."Yeah." He replied huskily. "How was your night?" He asked before a smirk crept onto his face."Wild," I said and he chuckled before shaking his head at me."But I loved it," I said before smiling with red cheeks. Cole turned flat onto his stomach so I climbed onto his back before resting my head there."I love you Via." He said softly and I smiled at him."I love you more," I said softly."Debatable but I'l
Cole and I walked into the bowling alley together. I spotted Jade and Big T at the mini-bar so I frowned."Look who's here," I told Cole before smiling. He looked over at them before dropping my hand."I'll go grab us some shoes." He said before walking away from me. Weirdo. Why is he being such a weirdo?I went over to Jade and her dad before hugging both of them."Hey, Livvy. Why are you here alone?" She asked in shock."I'm here with my boyfriend." I told her and she just said 'Oh.' Why is she being a weirdo too?"Can I steal your daughter?" I asked Big T and my school principal smiled before nodding at me.I pulled Jade away from her dad before breathing out in frustration. "Cole is acting strange lately. He gets secret phone calls and he seems so on edge." I told Jade and she frowned lightly."Did you ask him about it?" She asked suspiciously and I shook my head."No. He gets so mad at me. Like this morning when I asked him about it after he showered, he yelled at me." I said in
Griff and I sat flat on our butts on the grass at the cemetery. I rested my head in the crook of his neck. He stuck his open hand out so that I could place mine there.A tear slipped out of my eye as I read the letters scribbled on the grey tombstone in front of me.Somebody sat down next to me and I frowned lightly. I found Rook sitting next to me and he held his hand out to me so I placed my free hand in his. We had a moment of silence. And Griff shifted in his place. "Hey, man," Griff said almost hesitantly. "I don't know if you can hear me but I just wanna thank you. For everything. For being a friend and a brother. I'll see you soon." He said before getting up and walking away from us."Are you okay?" Rook asked me so I wiped the tears from my cheeks."Yeah fine," I said softly. "This will just forever be the worst day of my life," I said in a shaky voice."I'm sorry for telling you to let him go the other day," Rook said softly."Yeah?" I asked before wiping my cheeks dry."Yeah
"I had no idea, Liv," Paige said as I laid with my head on her lap. The rest of the cheer squad sat around us while laughing and making jokes."Thanks for not being all judgy," I told her while she played with my hair."No for sure. I mean sometimes you just need to talk to somebody about this stuff. And fuck Jade, she's such a bitch." Paige bursted out and I looked at her in amusement."Woah." "I'm sorry I just had to get that off my chest. She's like the worst, so duh." Paige said before closing her eyes and facing the sun."You guys this weekend was so fucked up," Nina said in monotone. "I visited Ajay at the cemetery and I literally cried over him." She said tiredly."Oh my gosh, are you like- okay?" Nat asked and Nina slowly looked over at her friend."What the fuck does it look like to you? I have dark circles around my eyes." She said blankly. She reminds me of Kourtney Kardashian sometimes."We all miss your cousin, lovey," Natasha said before squeezing Nina's hand. "How did y
I stood at the kitchen island in Paige's house. I gulped a cup of apple soda down before running a hand through my hair.The rest of the girls were sitting on the floor while drinking vodka. I wasn't really in the mood for alcohol."Guys I have like three blunts in my bag," Nina said slowly."You have weed?" We all asked excitedly and she just nodded at us. "Yeah, Bri could you please go grab it?" She asked and Brianna headed upstairs without question."Where did you get it?" Paige asked Nina with a sly smile on her lips."I got it from Lamar," Nina said under her breath. I went over and joined them on the floor of the living room."Why would Lamar give you weed?" Paige pressed."Because he wants to fuck me," Nina said, and for the first time, her face held an expression. Embarrassment."And? Why do you have that look on your face?" I asked her and she sighed."Well, I have way too much respect for myself and my vagina to put us both through that trauma." She said before gulping."Well
I saw Cole talking to Griff who looked at him in shock. I couldn't make out what they were saying but I'm sure Cole was telling him about the DNA results. Griff dabbed Cole up before he pulled him into a tight hug and I smiled at them from across the room. "Cole?" I called him and they both looked over at me. "Can we talk?" I asked him and he quietly looked at me before he told Griff to excuse us. Griff hugged me before he left the room so, I walked over to Cole. We sat down by the firepit before we looked up at each other. "Please help me understand." I softly told him and he tightly clenched his jaw at my request. "Please, Cole." I uttered before taking his hands in mine. "Ian is not my dad, Liv. You're his daughter. But you're not my sister because Ian and I are not related- at all. I think my mom might have had an affair and lied to my dad- to Ian that I was his. Maybe he knows something. My mom is dead so, I can't exactly ask her about it." He told me so, I shook my head
I sat down next to Storm and he smiled over at me. There's just something about Storm.I want to be with him but I just can't get Cole out of my mind and that makes me feel horrible. "Guys, check the group chat." Austin told us with wide eyes and everyone around the firepit took their phones out. I checked my texts and found that it was principal Clark who sent it. I clicked on the text and my eyes widened in shock. "Oh my god the trip has been extended to a week!" Jade excitedly yelled out. This is great news, this way I'll get more time to clear my head."Ugh, I wish we weren't in Aspen though. This cold ass weather is just not for me." Austin told us and we all nodded in agreement. "I mean I don't even have a man to keep me warm." He whined out before glaring over at everyone in the room and we collectively laughed at his words."What about me?" We heard a familiar voice and everyone turned around in shock. My eyes widened when I saw Rook standing in the doorway. Austin excitedly
Storm unclasped my bra before he tossed it aside and I watched him with lust filled eyes as he pulled his shirt over his head. I slowly ran my hands over his abs and he sat back in his chair while his eyes slowly ran over my body. He suddenly picked me up and my legs circled his torso as he carried me upstairs to a dimly lit bedroom. He shut the door behind us before he placed me on his bed and I seductively started to unbuckle his belt. I took his large erection into my hands before I slowly took him into my mouth. I looked up at him while I slowly started to suck his dick and he gripped my hair into his hand before he started moving my head faster against his length. My eyes started tearing up as he pushed his entire length into my mouth and I coughed when he pulled out of my mouth. He pushed me down on his bed before he widely spread my legs and my pussy throbbed with need.He slowly started to rub my pussy, his fingers sliding between my folds and I moaned out in pleasure. He s
Jade, Austin, Bri, and I sat at a small bonfire outside our villa. It was snowing outside, and we were dressed in thick ski jackets and matching gloves. Principal Clark surprisingly brought us to a ski resort in Aspen. The snow is beautiful but it is also extremely cold and restricting. I mean there hasn't been much going out for us except for the occasional ski activities we've been on today. I suddenly started feeling hungry so, I excused myself from the group and Austin decided to walk with me. We went downstairs in search of a vending machine since all the restaurants were already closed. Austin's phone started ringing and he smiled when he saw who was calling him. "It's Rook." He uttered before he turned his back to me. As Austin started speaking into the phone I laid my eyes on a vending machine. I smiled in relief before I grabbed my wallet from inside my jacket pocket. I felt someone standing in line behind me and I frowned lightly. I guess I'm not the only hungry per
Ryan and I walked into McClaren's together, while catching up with each other. I laughed at something he said as we made our way to the back of the restaurant. Once we got to the final booth I saw Storm sitting there. I frowned over at Ryan and he smiled before taking a step back from me. "You planned this?" I asked Ryan and he nodded at me. "Just talk to him, okay. And if you don't want to talk, just hear him out." Ryan told me so I nodded at him before I sat down across from Storm. "I'm sorry it had to come to this but you weren't answering any of my calls." He told me in an apologetic tone. "Sorry about that." I softly told him. "Don't apologize." He pointedly told me. "I just thought you wanted nothing to do with me. You broke up with me, remember?" I asked him and he nodded at me. "And yet you moved on first." He said and a feeling of guilt washed over me."What did you expect, Storm. At least he was willing to fight for me." I said and he clenched his jaw. "Like you fou
I gave one last glance at Ajay's grave before I left the cemetery. I haven't visited him in a while, I miss visiting him often. I miss the times when Ajay's death was the only source of my pain, when all I wished for was to see him again. But lately I just keep wanting and wishing for more. I walked back to school and got there just in time for the first period. I grabbed my books from my locker and started walking to my class, I felt someone placing their arm around my shoulder and when I looked up I found Ryan smiling down on me. "Hey, stranger." I wrapped my arms around his waist."Stranger?" He questioned with a deep frown settled on his forehead. "Yeah, now that you're on the football team you're too cool to hang out with me." I told him and he laughed lightly. "Liv, you're the one who's been ignoring my calls. I've been looking for you." He told me and I sighed lightly. "That's not true." I told him in disbelief and he raised a single eyebrow at me. "It's not, I would neve
After we were done in the kitchen, Cole and I ate the pasta that we made and decided to sit in the living room. We sat cuddled up on a couch while watching tv. We suddenly heard the microwave beeping, alarming us that our popcorn was done and Cole got up from his seat beside me before going into the kitchen. His phone suddenly started ringing so I frowned lightly before going back to watching tv. His message alert went off and the screen lit up again. I bet it's that Gemma girl. I always knew she had a crush on Cole, she can't leave him alone that's why she's always texting and calling him. Even her dad has his number, I mean what's up with that? I carefully leaned forward and read the text on Cole's phone."Your DNA test results will be available to collect on October 15th 2024."Cole did a DNA test? Is that what he was doing yesterday? I expanded the message but was careful not to open it and the hospital address caught my attention. I heard Cole entering the living room again so I
"And some food." Liv demanded so I immediately nodded in agreement. I'm going to spoil her rotten."Okay, let's go." I softly told her before I placed my arm around her shoulders then we walked over to my car. I opened her door and she thanked me before she climbed into the car.I got in on my side of the car before I started driving and we just started talking about anything and everything. We haven't been this comfortable around each other in a long time. I missed her. Once we were done buying the food and ice cream that I promised her we drove home. After ten more minutes of driving we finally arrived at home so I parked my car in the garage. And just as we got out of the car it started raining outside. We made our way into the house and headed straight upstairs to my room. Liv switched my tv on before she grabbed a shirt from my closet. I got our food ready while Liv climbed under the blankets on my bed. I pulled the hoodie I was wearing over my head before throwing it aside. I
Cole's POVI sat in my car as I've been stuck in traffic for the past hour. If I'm lucky I might make it back in time to go support Liv. I know I'm letting her down but what I'm about to do is for the both of us. The cars in front of me slowly started to move again so I sat upright before driving out of town and in the direction of the city. After a lengthy drive I finally parked my car in the hopital parking lot. Before I climbed out of the car I grabbed my backpack from the backseat and locked the door behind me. I looked down at my watch before walking to the frontdoor of the hopsital. I have about two hours left to run my errands, then I have to head back if I want to be in time to see Liv compete. I entered the crowded hospital building before entering the elevator. One of my friends back in Boston's dad is a doctor at this hospital, and knowing that I'd come home this weekend I made an appointment with him. I stepped out of the elevator as soon as it stopped on the fifth fl
